45: Chapter 46 Helping the Female Receptionist

"Big Brother Chen, this person is a local bully in the market, please be careful."

Shen Yueyao was very wary of him; after all, in the market, people often crossed paths, and if she really offended him, she wouldn't have an easy life.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, why don't you answer? I saw you return yesterday."

The lecherous Cultivator's eyes flickered, and he stepped forward, beginning to knock on the door with a "thump, thump."

After a while, seeing the door slowly open, he was overjoyed. Just as he was about to say something, he saw a strange man walk out.

"Who are you?"

The lecherous Cultivator was slightly taken aback, his brows furrowed, and his eyes widened in extreme displeasure.

"I am a friend of Fellow Daoist Shen. What is the meaning of this?"

"What is the meaning of this? Today I am here to discuss the rent with Fellow Daoist Shen. If you have no other business, please step aside."

After speaking, he cast his gaze toward the dark room.

"Presumptuous."

Chen Fan slowly released his Qi Refining Level 10 aura, and one hand tightly gripped the arm the other party had used to knock on the door.

"Ouch, you... are you at Late-stage Qi Refining?"

The lecherous Cultivator's face turned pale, and he wore a bitter expression. He had not expected Shen Yueyao to find a helper so quickly and regretted acting too slowly.

Realizing the vast difference in their strength, he quickly lost his arrogant demeanor, instead bowing slightly and saying, "It has not expired yet; I must have remembered incorrectly."

"Very well. From today on, we will not live here. Do not bother us in the future."

After speaking, he waved his long sleeve, emitting a massive amount of Spiritual energy.

The lecherous Cultivator was like a kite with a broken string, falling heavily to the ground.

Such a miserable appearance quickly drew jeers from the neighbors.

Seeing the other party flee as if escaping, Chen Fan couldn't help but cold-snort.

At this time, Shen Yueyao had already packed everything. She didn't have many belongings to begin with. She slowly walked out of the room, her face showing gratitude.

"Thank you, Big Brother Chen."

"No need to be so polite. Let's change our living place now."

Living in the market is divided into the Shantytown, the residential area, and the Immortal Cave area.

For example, the place where Shen Yueyao lives now is the Shantytown, which attracts many Cultivators due to its low price.

Chen Fan was not short of Spirit Stones, so he went straight to the residential area and generously rented a small courtyard house with a garden and a Restriction.

This place not only had a beautiful environment, but the Spiritual Qi was also much denser than in the Shantytown.

When Shen Yueyao heard that it cost fifty Spirit Stones a month, she was shocked. She had to know that her total monthly income was only a dozen or so, and that was from standing in a shop from morning until night.

Only then did she truly realize that she had found someone she could truly rely on.

"Thank you, Big Brother Chen."

"No need to be so polite. I have a few bottles of Medicinal Pills here that are helpful for your Cultivation. If you have time, buy more Spiritual Rice, Spiritual Vegetables, and Spiritual Meat."

As he spoke, he slowly took out the pill bottles and thirty Spirit Stones.

Shen Yueyao was somewhat moved, her eyes involuntarily turning red. Over the years, she had been struggling hard, and she never dared to think about things like Spiritual Rice or Spiritual Meat.

After settling the other party down, Chen Fan, as before, bought food in the market and then headed towards the Qin Family stronghold.

Returning smoothly to the Qin Family, the first thing he did was to discuss the matter of leaving the Qin Family with Qin Xuan and Lu Fushuang.

"Husband, do you really want to go out and establish a Qi Refining Family?" Qin Xuan was a bit worried. She had grown up in the Qin Family and had never been without the protection of the Family.

Furthermore, the Family had extremely strong control over their Matrilocal son-in-law, and since her husband was an Alchemist, there was no need to think twice; the Qin Family would definitely not let him go.

Lu Fushuang was the same, her face showing signs of anxiety. Currently, many demonic Cultivators were looking for her, and if they moved out, the risk would be immense.

Chen Fan naturally could see what the two were thinking, but he still said gently, "We cannot stay in the Qin Family forever. Establishing our own cultivation Family has always been my wish. I will mention this to the Grand Elder."

"Since Husband has made a decision, we will listen to everything Husband says."

The two said in unison.

"Good."

The next day, Chen Fan went to Great Elder Qin Yuanshan's residence and carefully stated what was on his mind.

Just as Qin Xuan had expected, Great Elder Qin Yuanshan stroked his gray beard, his face showing a strange expression.

"Good son-in-law Chen, you are already a member of our Qin Family. If you are not satisfied with your living environment, we can adjust it to a place with denser Spiritual Qi."

"If you lack women, our Qin Family has plenty of good women. Could it be that our Qin Family has treated you unfairly over the years?"

"Besides, our Qin Family has already given you a high status; you are already a deacon. If your Realm improves again, the position of Elder will also be given to you."

"You are still too young and cannot see many things clearly. Establishing a Qi Refining Family is not that easy. The cultivation world has always been the law of the jungle; today you occupy a Spiritual Vein, tomorrow other forces will attack."

As soon as these words were spoken, they instantly extinguished the enthusiasm in Chen Fan's heart. Although the other party did not directly refuse, his attitude was very clear.

Besides, as the other party said, being only at Qi Refining Level 10, how could he withstand the repeated attacks of other forces?

"It seems I was too impatient." Chen Fan was slightly disappointed.

After some instruction, Great Elder Qin Yuanshan said earnestly, "Son-in-law, you have made contributions to the Qin Family. If you really want to leave, we won't stop you. However, I still hope you can wait two more years. When your Realm improves and you can truly stand on your own, it will be good for you and for all your offspring."

After speaking, his gaze was slightly gloomy, and his brows were slightly furrowed.

The current Qin Family is not doing well; among the three Foundation Establishment Families here, they are the weakest.

Having finally cultivated a decent Alchemist, they would not let him leave no matter what.

However, since the other party had this intention, the Qin Family had to make some concessions.

Thinking of this, Great Elder Qin Yuanshan slowly said, "From today on, all the children you have will carry the surname Chen. How about that?"

"Thank you, Grand Elder."

Chen Fan showed joy and respectfully performed a salute. He had not expected the Qin Family to make such concessions; this was something that had never happened among Matrilocal son-in-laws.

"No need to be polite; this is what you deserve."

After Chen Fan left, Great Elder Qin Yuanshan's expression was extremely solemn.

"Want to found your own cultivation Family? Not everyone can do it. Even if you can seize a Spiritual Vein, without the recognition of the Superior Sect, it will not last long. In the end, it will result in being attacked by everyone, leading to the destruction of the Family."

After saying this, he shook his head repeatedly.

Over the years, he had seen too much bloodshed, so he couldn't help but sigh slightly.

At the same time, his heart grew increasingly worried; he discovered that Chen Fan was gradually becoming difficult to control.

At the same time, his face became increasingly ugly.

"If he wants to leave in the future, I estimate the Old Ancestor will not agree either."

Chen Fan returned to Zilin Bamboo Lodge and thought about many things.

The Grand Elder's words were not wrong, but staying in the Qin Family forever was not a long-term solution.

His goal had not changed: he must establish his own Family. Once his cultivation level improved again, he would prepare to move out, even if it meant falling out with the Qin Family.

Thinking that his future children could carry the surname Chen, he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart and headed towards Lu Fushuang's residence.
