Chapter 399 The Treasure-Seizing Husband and Wife (1/2)

He had arrived here through the convenient door and returned through the convenient door. When he returned, Qing Zhui and Jiang Hao were already dressed up. Qing Zhui was still in the blue long dress, bearing the charisma of a desolate fairy. Meanwhile, Jiang Hao was in a short-sleeved t-shirt and jeans, completely exuding a youthful flavored sexiness. Even though she was a passionately sexy woman, her bones were exuding an air of frigidness, making no one dare come close to her.

The two women were holding bags but they were no branded bags such as LV, but rather, two large gunny sacks.

The family of three came to the entrance of the thatched pavilion in the forest. Chen Pingdao was standing in the courtyard, putting up a hostile and unwelcoming expression. When he saw the gunny sacks in Qing Zhui’s and Jiang Hao’s hands, his face turned sour. He did not even bother inviting them in, except continuing to watch on.

Ning Tao said, “Senior Chen, what’s that expression? Don’t you welcome us here? Then we’ll be going.”

Chen Pingdao did not say a word.

Ning Tao took his phone put and snapped a photo. “I wonder if the fellow practitioners at the cultivation club would be shocked to see this place?”

Jiang Hao added, “Send it to me. I’ll upload it on my social media. The whole world would be shocked that such a place on earth exists.”

There was no way for Chen Pingdao to endure this. He then forced a smile, approaching them. “Ah, it’s Brother Ning and the two sisters-in-law. Come in, come in. I was thinking of something just now. I didn’t see you.”

“Excuse us.” Ning Tao kept his phone and led Qing Zhui and Jiang Hao inside.

Qing Zhui did a curtsy. “Qing Zhui here, greeting Senior Chen.”

Jiang Hao bowed slightly and smiled lightly, “Hello, Senior Chen, I’m Jiang Hao. Nice to meet you.”

Women from different eras had different manners. Based on this first meeting, it was not hard to tell that the two women had different ideologies. In the past, concubines were obedient and docile. They would not stop their masters from marrying more concubines and would even initiate to find their masters suitable partners, wishing for their masters to marry more. Modern women were different. Who would be willing to share their lovers with other women? Therefore, the reason Jiang Hao was able to accept Qing Zhui was that Qing Zhui was around before her and was also being considerate of Ning Tao. She had already been very generous.

“My two sisters-in-law are real ethereal beauties, so pretty,” Chen Pingdao said as he glanced quickly at Qing Zhui and Jiang Hao. He had completely no interest in women.

After a brief casual exchange, Jiang Hao’s gaze shifted to Chen Pingdao’s spiritual field. She strode over, “Oh, what kind of cucumber is that? It looks so different!”

Qing Zhui followed closely behind. “Is that a White Jade Tomato? It looks so delicious.”

Chen Pingdao frowned, appearing like he was on the verge of tears.

Ning Tao heaved a sigh. “Women naturally yearn for tasty treats. My two girls are both foodies. It should be okay for them to have some fruits, right?”

Chen Pingdao yelled furiously. “Delete that photo and it would be no problem!”

“Of course, immediately.” Ning Tao took out his phone and deleted the photo.

Qing Zhui and Jiang Hao were exploring the field. They took whatever ripe fruits they saw and put them into their gunny sacks. When they returned home to change, Ning Tao had briefly told them about his story with Chen Pingdao. Chen Pingdao was not kind in the past, so these two women were naturally not polite to him. These simple spiritual fruits were definitely no match to premium spiritual materials, but it would still be beneficial to consume them. It’s especially so for Jiang Hao. She had just become a new demon for not too long. She should eat more of these spiritual fruits to improve her constitution. It would be beneficial to her cultivation.

“Those fruits take a few years to ripe. Some even take up to ten years. They’re all ingredients I’m using for my wellness cultivation…” Tears welled in Chen Pingdao’s eyes.

Ning Tao switched conversation topics. “Oh, right, Senior Chen, a group of phantom bats attacked us when we were coming here but disappeared afterward. Where are they?”

A shimmer appeared in Chen Pingdao’s eyes. He said, “The nest of that group of phantom bats is located at the top of the grotto. There are a few gaps leading to the place. They’re the main ingredient to cultivate the Demon-quenching Elixir.”

“Demon-quenching Elixir?” It was Ning Tao’s first time hearing about it.

Chen Pingdao said, “Yes, Demon-quenching Elixir. During the bustling era of the Tang Dynasty, during Li Shimin’s reign, he was sick and I had cured him before. I received an elixir prescription from him and it was the Demon-quenching Elixir. He said it was a tribute from a feudal state in the Western regions. I studied it and found out that the Demon-quenching Elixir was an elixir specially made to hone the bodies of demons. You know too, demonic powers are great but very hard to control. Using the Demon-quenching Elixir to hone oneself would improve such a situation. And, demons and practitioners are the same. Once they’ve attained their Nascent Demon stage, they would need to combine with their Nascent Demon to attain the great realization. This elixir would be very helpful.”

Ning Tao watched as Chen Pingdao spoke ardently about the Demon-quenching Elixir and a smirk formed on his face.

“Yes! I remember now. Inside the old phantom bat nest is a rare treasure. I’ve been here for centuries and have observed peculiar phenomena for a few times. Whenever the planets aligned, an odd glow would shine from that cave, making it unbearingly hot,” Chen Pingdao said as he observed Ning Tao’s expression.

“What treasure is it?” Ning Tao appeared to be really excited.

Chen Pingdao said, “I don’t know too. You know, I’m timid. How would I go fight the phantom bats?”

Ning Tao grinned. “Senior Chen, you’re trying to dupe me into hunting for treasure again and letting me die in the nest of those phantom bats. I’m sure you’ll be very happy, right?”

Chen Pingdao appeared to be unhappy. “What are you saying? Am I such a person?”

Ning Tao said, “Back then, you deceived me into taking over the Sky Clinic. You didn’t even spare me a few days of internship and left without a word. I’m sure you weren’t even expecting me to live until today, right?”

Chen Pingdao glared at Ning Tao. “Why are you so petty? Didn’t I leave a note behind?”

Ning Tao said, “Alright, I won’t touch on our bad blood anymore. How about this? You give me the prescription of that Demon-quenching Elixir and I’ll take my women home.”

“Deal!” Chen Pingdao then yelled. “My two sisters-in-law, come over! Stop picking the fruits!”
