As soon as the announcement was made, his wives looked at Chen An.

As Chen An drank the porridge, he said, “Stop looking at me and eat up. Just wait for the people from the Crimson Fire Gang to collect the protection fee.” Hearing this, his wives retracted their gazes and ate breakfast silently.

About an hour later, a shout came from outside the house.

“Fellow Cultivator who lives in No.8 South Alley, please come out and pay the protection fee!”

House No. 8 on South Alley, this was the house where Chen An’s family lived.

“I’m going to pay the fee.”

“Alchemist Chen, 1’11 go with you.”

“Yeah, okay.”

Soon, the two of them stood up and walked out of the house.

A moment later, there was a creaking sound.

The door to the courtyard opened.

Then, Chen An and Shen Qingyi saw that the member of the Crimson Fire Gang was a male Cultivator who was a little too ugly.

None of his facial features were good-looking. His face was covered in pockmarks and looked very ugly.

This male Cultivator did not hide his strength. His cultivation level of the third level of Foundation Establishment was obvious.

“My surname is Chen. I’m an Alchemist. How should 1 address you?”

Chen An took out two mid-grade spirit stones and handed them to the male Cultivator. At the same time, he asked with a kind smile.

The male Cultivator took the spirit stones and said coldly, “Let me introduce myself. I’m the steward in charge of providing protection to the residents of the South Alley, and collecting protection fees. My surname is Gao, Gao Shan. You can call me Steward Gao in the future.”

“So it’s Steward Gao. The security in Hundred Herbs Alley is average. In the future, I still have to request for Steward Gao to take care of me.”

Chen An knew how to behave. As he spoke, he took out a bottle of Small Revitalizing Pills from his storage bag and handed it to Steward Gao with a smile.

Steward Gao took the medicine bottle and opened it. After discovering that it contained a Tier 2 medicinal pill, the Small Revitalizing Pill, his originally cold face was instantly filled with a smile.

“Alchemist Chen, not bad, not bad.”

“On the way here just now, I almost didn’t encounter many people who were straightforward like you, let alone express their gratitude.”

“If only the residents of Hundred Herbs Alley were as good as you.”

“If you encounter any difficulties here in the future, feel free to tell me. I’ll help if I can.”

Steward Gao said enthusiastically, forming a sharp contrast with his cold face just now.

With that, he quickly left and went to the next family to collect the protection fee.

Chen An was not in a hurry to go back into the house. He stood at the door and watched Steward Gao go to another house to collect money.

Shen Qingyi was the same.

In front of the residents of Hundred Herbs Alley, Steward Gao was not as easy to talk to as he was when he first faced Chen An.

If he encountered someone who was unwilling to pay the money, he would scold them at best and beat them up at worst. It was very cruel.

When he encountered those who didn’t have money to pay, he would directly drag them out of the house and beat them up in front of the other residents.

After that, he had to take them away, saying that they were going to be taken to the Samadhi Tower to be a laborer.

Chen An knew that Steward Gao was deliberately acting so cruelly. His goal was to warn the residents of the South Alley so that he would have an easier time collecting money in the future.

This was the reason why a new official would resort to such actions to shake things up.

Seeing Steward Gao bully the residents, Shen Qingyi’s old habit of hating evil recurred. For a moment, she wanted to draw her sword and rush over to punish him.

Fortunately, Chen An was beside her and stopped her brainless impulsive behavior in time.

The Crimson Fire Gang had just set up camp in Hundred Herb Alley and was worried that they couldn’t establish their might.

If Shen Qingyi dared to make a move now, she would definitely be captured by the Crimson Fire Gang as a warning to the others. She would be killed in public and be made an example of to deter everyone.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

At this moment, Wen Zhiyun was already ten months pregnant, but she showed no signs of going into labor.

In the courtyard, Wen Zhiyun looked down at her big abdomen and said with a worried expression, “Husband, I’ve already been pregnant for ten months. Why isn’t there any movement from the child? Is there a problem?”

“Yun’er, don’t worry. I’ve already used my divine consciousness to investigate.

The child is developing very well. You’ll probably give birth soon.”

Chen An comforted her gently.

However, he was actually a little worried now. He was afraid that his arrogant concubine would be pregnant with Nezha, where the pregnancy lasts for three and a half years.

Song Huaying, who was sitting in front of the house and teaching her daughter how to play the zither, comforted her when she heard that. “Sister Wen, don’t worry. You’re a fairy. It’s normal for you to be pregnant longer than ordinary women. The longer you’re pregnant, the better the child’s talent.”

“Silly Ying’er, there’s no such thing. Fairies are also humans. They’re no different from mortals when it comes to pregnancy. Otherwise, they’ll go against the heavens and give birth to freaks.”

Wen Zhiyun said with a smile.

When Song Huaying heard that, she immediately spat a few times. Then, she said, “Sister Wen, don’t spout such nonsense. You must be pregnant with an immortal fetus, won’t be a freak.”

“You’re superstitious.”

Wen Zhiyun walked up to Song Huaying and flicked her forehead with a smile. Chen An looked at the scene in front of him and could not help but smile. These two people usually addressed each other as sisters, but at this moment, the tone of this arrogant concubine talking to her little wife sounded like a mother talking to her daughter. It was quite strange.

However, on second thought, he felt that there was nothing wrong.

After all, according to their current age, a proud concubine who was almost 40 years old could indeed be the mother of a little wife who was not even 20 years old..
