Cultivating Immortality in a Family: I Prove Immortality Through the Chaotic Dao Realm

Chapter 23 Picking them up! Saying goodbye!
Outside Fenglin City.

As dawn broke, the heavy iron city gates creaked open slowly, and the stone bridge over the moat, still damp with dew, reflected hundreds of hurried footprints.

Chen Qian, who had rushed here from Emerald Lake before dawn, had already arrived at this place.

As a large city with hundreds of thousands of people, the city gate was bustling with activity early in the morning. Peddlers, farmers, burly men, well-dressed scholars and tourists, all sorts of people, were present, creating a lively atmosphere of everyday life.

Fortunately, the city gate was wide enough that it did not hinder Chen Qian's passage.

Along the way, I bought some delicious snacks and treats to enjoy with Feng Momo.

It had been more than a month since we last met, and the longing in my heart surged, so I quickened my pace.

Chen Qian had already changed into the top-tier first-order magic robe from Tu Yuanfeng. He didn't quite like the original color and style, but fortunately, he could make some modifications through the Gray Pearl World without consuming much energy.

The color changed to moon white, and the collar and lapel were infused with a cyan-colored spiritual material to create landscape and cloud patterns. In addition, the robe adapted to the wearer's figure, further highlighting Chen Qian's outstanding temperament and handsome appearance.

Although the city was large, it was nothing to Chen Qian. He soon arrived at the Chen Family Charity Hall's location in the west of the city.

They arrived at the courtyard where Feng Momo lived, familiar with the place.

Although he could not use his divine sense, Chen Qian's strength was already vastly different from what it had been a month ago, and his spiritual perception was much sharper.

From afar, one could sense the whistling of swords wielding within the courtyard.

It seems the little girl has already gotten up and is exercising.

Upon hearing the noise, the image of the little girl's graceful figure came to mind. His inner energy surged and compressed the air, producing a series of muffled thunder-like sounds.

Upon closer inspection, it seemed that the little girl's martial arts had made some progress and she was not far from reaching the Innate Realm.

Feng Momo's martial arts aptitude is indeed extraordinary. Once she develops spiritual roots, her cultivation should not be slow.

Once the commotion inside subsided, Chen Qian knocked on the gate of the courtyard.

"Who is it?"

The familiar, crisp sound of a bell rang out, and footsteps approached from afar. Soon, the door opened.

Standing at the door was Chen Qian, who had his hands behind his back and a smile on his face, exuding an air of superiority.

"ah?!"

Feng Momo was stunned for a moment, then let out a surprised cry in disbelief.

After rubbing her eyes and finding that the scene before her had not changed at all, she couldn't contain her joy and jumped onto Chen Qian, clinging to him.

"Brother Qian, didn't you go to Phoenix Forest Valley to cultivate? Why are you back so suddenly? I thought I wouldn't see you for at least a year or two."

Although this girl had a difficult life and lost her father at a young age, she was too young at the time to understand how to grieve.

After being adopted by the charity, he had playmates like Chen Qian and Chen Yunxi, and could be considered to have grown up carefree. He has always been lively and outgoing.

But she still had the reserve and shyness that a girl should have, and this was the first time she had expressed her emotions so intensely.

The reason is not hard to guess.

For the past month or so, Feng Momo has indeed been deeply troubled by her emotions, her thoughts and feelings unpredictable.

She was both delighted that her brother Qian was able to embark on the path of immortality, but also thought that the two of them would be separated by the difference between immortals and mortals from now on, and that the future she had been looking forward to might not come true.

When the person you've been longing for suddenly appears before you, it's inevitable that you'll lose control of your emotions.

He cupped her soft, fragrant body in one arm. The girl's clothes were thin, and the two young bodies flushed slightly.

The girl then realized that she had overreacted and became embarrassed, burying her face in Chen Qian's neck like an ostrich.

Chen Qian, after all, was a veteran who had lived two lives and had been tested many times. He quickly brought the situation under control, walked into the gate, and closed the gate with one foot.

He entered the living room, sat down at the table, but did not release the girl. Silence spoke volumes.

Whether it's having breakfast or explaining your purpose, you can postpone it and not rush to break the tranquility.

Life is sometimes like this: young people always focus on the result and ignore the process. Many vivid experiences are always rushed by. By the time the world changes and the heart is weathered, it is difficult to find the state of mind at that time.

The rare intimate contact left both of them somewhat satisfied. Chen Qian wasn't in a hurry; they'd save the next step for their wedding night.

After Feng Momo's heartbeat slowed down a bit, Chen Qian helped her sit down on the chair next to him, took out breakfast, and they ate together.

"MoMo, would you like to live with me in Fenglin Valley?"

Having eaten enough, Chen Qian didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.

Feng Momo actually had a premonition, because Chen Qian had expressed this idea before going to Fenglin Valley to put her mind at ease.

However, she did not expect this moment to come so soon.

“Brother Qian, I’m willing. I’ve been willing since I was little.”

"Whether it's Phoenix Valley or anywhere else, as long as I can be with you, I'm willing."

………………

After breakfast, Chen Qian took Feng Momo to visit Chen Hongyuan.

He recounted how Chen Hongwei had arranged his marriage and mentioned the specific date, inviting his seventh uncle to come and witness his joyous occasion.

Uncle Qi actually already knew about this news, after all, the date had been set for more than ten days.

The Chen family had already sent out wedding invitations to various places, and wedding preparations had already begun.

Of course, since it was just the second daughter of the family head who didn't have any spiritual roots getting married, it wasn't a big celebration that everyone knew about. They only notified some of the Chen family's high-ranking members who were away, as well as some close Qi-refining families.

On the contrary, Feng Momo, one of the parties involved, was kept in the dark because Chen Qian said he would come to Fenglin City to pick her up.

Then it's best to leave it to Chen Qian to say.

Uncle Qi seemed quite pleased. He had watched the three children grow up, and he felt they were a good match.

Before Chen Qian arrived, he had already activated the Harmony with Light and Dust Technique to disguise his cultivation level as the first level of Qi Refining. If Uncle Qi were to use his divine sense to investigate, he certainly wouldn't be able to hide it from him, but he obviously wouldn't do that.

Chen Qian did this mainly to avoid trouble. Going from having no cultivation to the second level of Qi Refining in just over a month would definitely surprise people. This speed has surpassed that of a top-grade spiritual root, which is not easy to explain.

Similarly, given his current low strength, even though Chen Qian is now wealthy, he dares not offer anything to his seventh uncle.

Chen Qian wouldn't waste time worrying about it; Seventh Uncle was only around forty years old and still had plenty of opportunities to advance.

Given his cultivation speed, he will have a great chance to help the other party in the future.

After bidding farewell to Uncle Qi, Chen Qian and Feng Momo returned to the courtyard to help pack their luggage, preparing to set off back to the valley.

In Fenglin City, Feng Momo has many acquaintances, but none of them are particularly close.

These people have no spiritual roots, their aptitude is poor, and many of them have very low martial arts cultivation. Their daily lives are completely different from others.

There's no need to make a special trip to say goodbye.

Feng Momo's luggage consisted mostly of small, miscellaneous items, which were her personal belongings. It was quick to pack, and a small package was all she needed to manage. Chen Qian simply put them into his storage bag.

After handing the key to the courtyard to the steward of the charity office, Chen Qian mounted his green-scaled horse, with Feng Momo following closely behind, her arms around his waist.

The fragrance is warm and soft, like jade, wafting gently and soothing to the ear.

Chen Qian pulled on the reins, and the two men and the horse rode out of the city.
