229: Layout, hunger marketing

Chen Xuan instantly understood and was about to refuse on the spot.

"I just got back, and I still need to go to Yu Gang's place. I can't stay here long right now!"

"No, no, you're overthinking it. It's something else."

"???"

"Can husband agree to your concubine first?" Xiao Hongmei bit her lip, hesitated for a long time, and finally gathered her courage to speak.

"What is it? Tell me."

Chen Xuan looked at Hongmei gently, waiting for her to state her request.

"I want to leave after the child is born, leave with you, leave the Zhang Family, and leave the Sect."

"Leave? But I'm not even sure where I'll be staying right now. Where can you go?"

"I want to go to a place more suitable for us and the child to live. After all, if we stay in the Zhang Family for too long, the child might be exposed!"

"What you said makes sense. If it really doesn't work, you and the child can enter my Secret Realm."

"Mm..." Xiao Hongmei stopped speaking and just stared straight at Chen Xuan.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and a brief separation is like a new marriage.

Slap!

"Behave yourself. Don't pull these fancy tricks on me."

"Alright! Is it not enough that your concubine doesn't want the Qi Luck Peach Blossom anymore!"

"Uh, so that's what you were talking about. I'll get them for you..." Chen Xuan's handsome face also flushed slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed.

However, after glancing at a smirking Xiao Hongmei, he immediately reacted.

"You little vixen, you dare to trick even me! Just wait until you're unburdened; then I'll show you!"

"Hehe, I won't dare anymore! If you're not satisfied, just trigger me now!"

"Cough, cough, it's getting late. I should go back and report. Madame Zhang, I'll take my leave!"

"Wait, don't go!"

"What now?"

"We haven't named the baby yet. Does husband have any suggestions?" Xiao Hongmei asked.

"If it's a boy, let's call him Chen Fan! If it's a girl... let's call her Chen Mei!" Chen Xuan said.

"Chen Fan? Chen Fan!" Xiao Hongmei murmured to herself, then looked at her belly, tears sparkling in her eyes.

"Chen Fan!!!!!!!!"

"Good, then it'll be Chen Fan!" Xiao Hongmei smiled and nodded.

"Are you so sure it's a boy?"

"Definitely!"

"Alright, alright, then I'm leaving. See you another day!" Chen Xuan said, then turned and left.

Early the next morning, Chen Xuan arrived at the Monster Squad's training ground to watch everyone train.

"Oh, Chen Xuan is back. How was your trip this time? Did you gain anything?" Dai Dabai greeted him enthusiastically.

"Chen Xuan... you're back!" Zhu Zhu was also very happy; a flood of words came to her lips, but she didn't say them.

"Brother Chen Xuan is back, that's great! I have Peach Blossoms to eat again!" The rabbit-eared girl was also very happy.

"Mm-hmm, I didn't fail the mission." Chen Xuan quoted a certain fiery line.

"What 'didn't fail the mission'? What Yao Beasts did you contract this time, and what Martial Skills did you acquire?" Yan Xi was more curious about this.

"Hmph, just a trash Peach Tree, what kind of Martial Skill could it have? It's nothing but some auxiliary skills!" Zhai Ningning scoffed.

"Eh, Ningning, your words are mistaken. Perhaps Brother Chen Xuan is lucky and can acquire some offensive skills! It's just that his Peach Tree, I can't imagine how it would attack." Tang Sirui also mocked him subtly.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhu was very angry, but Chen Xuan's Immortal Soul was indeed a Peach Tree. If she were to refute everyone now, and if he really didn't have good Martial Skills, he would become the target of public criticism, so she forcibly held back from speaking.

However... Zhai Ningning, I'm not being best friends with you anymore!

"Brother Chen Xuan, stop hiding it. Let us see your Martial Skills!" Ma Ji also urged.

"Actually, this time when I went out, I didn't acquire any particularly good Martial Skills, and I only found two Yao Beasts."

"Only two after so long? It seems Brother Chen Xuan, you still need to strengthen your own strength!"

"Indeed, alas, without powerful strength, it's really hard to find Martial Skills for oneself!" Chen Xuan sighed, then conjured a purple Peach Blossom and handed it to the rabbit girl.

"Thank you, Brother Chen Xuan!" The girl took the Peach Blossom and ate it in one bite.

"Little glutton!" Chen Xuan said, looking at Qing Wu with a smile.

Zhu Zhu and Tang Sirui both felt offended.

"Hmm, this... isn't as tasty as the one you first gave me!"

"This is my first Martial Skill, Qi Luck Peach Blossom! As for its effects..." Chen Xuan didn't reply to the girl but began to introduce the Peach Blossom's functions.

Actually, he didn't really want to expose his strength to those who were hostile to him, but since this Peach Blossom could absorb the Luck of their protagonist group, he decided to reveal a little bit and cast out some bait.

"Permanently increase Luck?! What kind of Heaven-Defying effect is this!"

"It must be fake, that's impossible!"

"Quick, go call the Great Master to come and see!"

"Qi Luck Peach Blossom? I must inform my father and the others..."

Before long, Chen Xuan was completely surrounded, with everyone who should and shouldn't be there present. Only Xiao Hongmei didn't come, as she was still carrying "the Zhang Family's Bloodline" at the time.

"Young friend Chen Xuan, congratulations! I never thought you would have such Luck and acquire such a Heaven-Defying skill!" Zhang Wei congratulated him.

"Not at all, it was just good Luck, and it was all thanks to your esteemed wife's guidance on the path. Speaking of which, I should thank Zhang Family Head!" Chen Xuan replied with a smile.

"This isn't Luck, it's dog-shit Luck, alright!" Dai Dabai said with envy, jealousy, and hatred, but in his heart, he was already pondering other matters.

"You say this Qi Luck Peach Blossom can really increase Luck? Give me one to try." Yu Gang also said.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan slowly took out a green Peach Blossom and handed it to Jade Master.

He could give purple ones, but this item also had a consumption limit, so he decided to only produce seven flowers a day: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. Only after scarcity marketing could its value be truly reflected.

Yu Gang took the Peach Blossom and examined it carefully, frowning slightly because he couldn't see anything.

But then he thought that Chen Xuan wouldn't dare to play any tricks on him, so he directly put it into his mouth.

"It seems there's no special feeling at all. This still needs to be verified..." Yu Gang muttered to himself.

"Indeed, Luck is inherently ethereal. Perhaps Chen Xuan didn't get a good skill and is just trying to fool us! And just now, Qing Wu's was a purple Peach Blossom, but the one given to the Great Master is green!" Tang Sirui, seeing Chen Xuan's rising fame and Qing Wu's starry eyes, no longer bothered to disguise himself and directly mocked.

"This is because I can only produce 8 Peach Blossoms a day, and their quality varies according to their color, with purple being the best and black being the worst."

"Give me one; I want to see if it's real!" Zhu Zhu demanded, her face dark, upon hearing this.

'The best purple one for the rabbit spirit, huh? Good, good, just wait and see how I deal with you then!'
