Xu Xinlan got married when she was sixteen years old.
Her family background was ordinary. Her father was a monk with perfect Qi training. He died during the attack on the Zi Mansion, and the family fortune was ruined. Then, under the arrangement of the elders of the clan, she married a descendant of the Chen family.
.
The Chen family is a merchant family in Wanling City. Although it does not have much strength, it has produced several outstanding children.
Xu Xinlan's husband was very talented, but unfortunately he was unlucky. He was assassinated by someone using witchcraft when he was young. Not only was his career cut off, but he was also sick and lying in bed all year round.
Although Xu Xinlan married the other party, she had no choice but to do so.
But her husband was very kind to her, and they respected each other as guests. The latter not only gave her the management of the family's shop and mine, but even transferred the house where he lived to her name.
Three years after the two got married, Xu Xinlan became a widow and supported the family in accordance with her late husband's last wish.
Until now.
But this is not an easy task. Over the years, she has encountered countless dangers and difficulties. Fortunately, she is alert enough, has a little luck, and the help of her cousin Zuo Xiaomo, and is able to maintain the current situation.
It's just that although it looks beautiful in front of people, the hardship behind people is unimaginable.
"I'm so tired, slave."
Xu Xinlan leaned against Wang Chen's arms and said softly: "I'm too tired."
No matter how strong she is, she is still just a woman. The seventh level of Qi training cannot scare the wolves and leopards that are looking at her. Zuo Xiaomo's deterrent power is also very limited.
Not to mention Zuo Xiaomo himself is also facing a lot of troubles.
Last night's drunken chaos was both Xu Xinlan's impulse and her determination.
She has longed for a big tree that she can climb on for a long time!
Wang Chen couldn't help but ask: "Why me?"
Wang Chen is very self-aware. Although he is an inner disciple of the Xihai Sect, his ability to enter the first immortal sect in the Shanhai Realm mainly depends on luck.
Under normal circumstances, if a casual cultivator from the outside world wants to join the Xihai Sect, unless he is an extremely talented person, it would be great if he can get a seat in the outer sect.
How can one be like Wang Chen, who started out as an inner sect member.
Within the inner sect of the Xihai Sect, even among the most inferior disciples, there are many people who have been trained by him to a higher level and have more outstanding talents.
Not to mention identity and background.
And with Xu Xinlan's beauty and wealth, finding a stronger backer will definitely not be a problem.
Why is Wang Chen so cheap?
In response to Wang Chen's question, Xu Xinlan's lips curved slightly: "The Nu family has an innate talent that can discern the good and evil in people's hearts."
It is precisely because of this talent that she can protect herself from the prying eyes of a group of jackals, tigers and leopards.
"You are the most pure-minded Master I have ever seen."
It would be easy for her to find a backer, but as a widow, it was impossible for her to enter the house, and at most she would just be an outhouse.
Once sex and money run out, or others get tired of it, the consequences are self-evident.
Therefore, Xu Xinlan must find a truly reliable and trustworthy person to protect her from wind and rain.
It was at this time that Zuo Xiaomo recommended Wang Chen to her.
When they met for the first time, Xu Xinlan saw the difference between Wang Chen and others, so she decisively made a big bet.
Wang Chen comes from an outside world and has the simplest background, without any family ties or involvement.
He became a monk of the Zifu at a young age, and also entered the inner sect of the Xihai Sect. His future prospects are limitless.
Coupled with the character that makes Xu Xinlan feel reassured and at ease, she just wants to hold on tight!
For this reason, Xu Xinlan did not hesitate to take out the secret spirit wine passed down from her family.
Added some ingredients.
Really caught Wang Chen.
After understanding the cause and effect, Wang Chen felt a little more pity in his heart.
Xu Xinlan is obviously not the kind of innocent and kind-hearted woman, but her calculations and methods are just to enable herself to live well, not to harm others to gain benefits.
The most important thing is that she is her own woman now!
Wang Chen is not the kind of unscrupulous person who wipes his mouth and leaves after eating. He thought for a while and said: "You can follow me from now on. As long as I stay in Xihaizong for one day, I will find a way to protect you."
After a pause, Wang Chen continued: "You no longer need to give me 30% of the income from your business."
Xu Xinlan put her face against his heart and murmured: "Everything I own belongs to my husband."
Wang Chen patted her plumpest part: "I can earn spiritual stones myself, but I need more essence of the five elements."
Through this period of practice, Wang Chen discovered that the essence of the Five Elements has an excellent auxiliary effect on the cultivation of the innate Five Elements Kung Fu.
Originally, even if he practiced diligently for three to five days, he might not be able to gain even one point of skill experience.
But if you take the essence of the five elements during the exercise, you can steadily get 1 point a day.
The efficiency has increased three to five times!
Previously, Wang Chen went to the Merit Department to check that the essence of the Five Elements could be exchanged for merit points.
The problem is that the number of points required is quite staggering.
He can't afford it.
Since Xu Xinlan has channels to obtain the essence of the Five Elements, Wang Chen naturally wants to save precious merit points.
He wants to speed up and attack the middle level of Zifu!
This is not just for himself, the higher Wang Chen's cultivation level is, the more he can protect Xu Xinlan.
In order to avoid the misunderstanding of the beautiful woman in his arms, he explained: "The essence of the five elements is very important to my practice!"
In fact, "Su Yin Huan Zhen He He Secret Technique" is also very good, but I will leave this for later.
"I said that everything I own belongs to the husband."
Xu Xinlan smiled sweetly and said: "Tell Mr. Lang a secret. The essence of the Five Elements that I took out all came from the mine."
"What?"
Wang Chen was immediately shocked!
He knew that Xu Xinlan ran many businesses and had several shops under her name, so he thought that the essence of the Five Elements offered to him was collected through some channel.
She never expected that she would have a mine at home!
You must know that the essence of the Five Elements is a treasure of heaven and earth. Even if the grade is average, a mine that can produce the essence of the Five Elements will definitely make Jindan Zhenren's heart flutter.
"Only Uncle Zhong knows this secret."
Xu Xinlan explained: "He personally collected the essence of the Five Elements in the mine, but to the outside world he only said that it was purchased from the outside world."
"I once saved Uncle Zhong's life. He has no children and has always regarded me as his daughter..."
Wang Chen nodded.
If this secret is leaked, I'm afraid he won't be able to protect Xu Xinlan. The only way is to give up the treasure mine to others in exchange for peace.
But when the essence of the Five Elements is of great use to him, Wang Chen doesn't want to give others an advantage in vain!
"I will ask Uncle Zhong to take Mr. Lang to the mine someday."
Xu Xinlan said: "Entrusting this secret to Lang Jun makes me feel more at ease, and Uncle Zhong is getting old."
Uncle Zhong is a monk who has perfected his Qi training. His lifespan is approaching the end and he will not be able to protect her for a few more years.
This is one of the reasons why Xu Xinlan bets everything on Wang Chen!
