Spiritual Energy Rejuvenation: I Began Cultivating By Farming
Chapter 2197 - 1238_2
As for the materials, of course they couldn’t be compared to the coarse linen commoners wear on the first day of the year.
Ever since she entered the Cultivation World and became a member of the cultivators, thanks to her own efforts she’d finally been able to wear Vestment robes, but back then, just to protect her body, she could only afford the lowest-grade ones.
Since she didn’t know Artifact Refining, she relied on doing missions herself, or on welfare distributed by the Immortal Sect. Without a clan backing her, it was actually quite hard to rely on her own effort alone.
Ever since she met Ye Tian, he never charged her Artifact Refining fees, and he didn’t charge her for other Magical Treasures either. He even taught her Artifact Refining, and because they interacted so much, a bond like this formed.
She had always secretly admired this senior brother; when she was in trouble, he extended a hand to help her. That feeling was different from what she had for Jiang Tang.
After his true identity was revealed, no one looked down on her as an ordinary female cultivator without family backing; they loved her for who she was and, because of her, got engaged and married to her.
Their relationship had gone through some hardship and the test of time.
This time, Ye Tian brought her to this Ordinary Realm, a different world; this divine tribulation trip was truly eye-opening.
She never expected some women here to dress even skimpier than Brothel girls, with girls showing bare thighs on the streets all the time, and some men going shirtless with their thighs exposed.
Here you could also see men with hair cut so short they were no different from Monks.
Yan Weiwei looked at those women showing off their thighs, even their belly buttons and shoulders, striding boldly along the street, which in turn made that woman stand out even more.
There was none of that sense of shame; they even seemed a little proud of behaving like that.
Even pregnant women with big bellies could wear dresses that bared the shoulders and back, with the lower half of their legs exposed.
Their shoes were no longer the kind that wrapped feet up like zongzi; they wore whatever, showing their fair, tender feet.
She saw some men with their upper bodies bare, only a pair of shorts on their lower bodies, shuffling down the street in flip-flops.
And no one thought they were being hooligans.
What excited Yan Weiwei even more was coming to the beach in broad daylight; on the sandy shore, the men and women were wearing even less, both the women and the men.
Dressed like that, they all seemed more genuine somehow...
Yan Weiwei just couldn’t understand that this plane of the real world could actually be like this.
Unmarried girls and unmarried young men could hug and cuddle openly on the street.
As a married woman, she blushed for them just watching.
Those men and women on the beach, how did they have the nerve to act like that?
They can really cuddle in public on the street like this?
Yan Weiwei now knew Ye Tian had a secret—that he had a previous life. Other people knew nothing about his past life, but he remembered it clearly.
It was also in this kind of real world, just in a different era.
She asked, "Husband, have you been to the beach before? Did you also dress that scantily?"
"I’ve been. I’ve been to swimming pools, been to the beach."
Before Ye Tian transmigrated, he had worked in a certain research lab for several years. Though he was a genius, the environment he grew up in was quite privileged.
The mansion he lived in originally had its own swimming pool, and when he traveled with his family, they would also go to hot springs or beaches.
Having lived in the real world before, there was nothing he couldn’t talk about.
He saw Yan Weiwei acting all shy and bashful and found it rather cute.
"Then did you ever cuddle with someone in public on the street before?"
When Yan Weiwei asked this, a sour feeling rose in her heart; she was jealous.
Just imagining her husband in this kind of world, where at any moment he could be surrounded by passionate women, with countless admirers chasing after him...
The men and women she saw in the real world were not conservative at all.
They could live together while still studying, and boyfriends and girlfriends at work, or those who had already become couples, would also cohabitate or have physical contact.
Kissing, hugging, cuddling—these things happened all the time.
Just look at those dramas, movies, romance films—kissing was casual.
"I wasn’t married then. I did have plenty of girls chasing me. Holding hands, sure, but kissing, no."
Ye Tian recalled how, in his younger days, there were already many admirers; at that time he was still a student, and his heart was set entirely on studying.
Later, when he entered university, even more people pursued him, because they were classmates or colleagues at the research institute.
Sometimes they’d hold hands during activities, but as for actually dating someone who admired him, that never really happened.
It wasn’t that there was something wrong with him personally; he probably just didn’t put much weight on that aspect.
He carried that cold, aloof aura and used aloofness to reject others, yet precisely because of that aloofness, people liked him even more.
Yan Weiwei’s heart grew even sourer. Even though it was a previous life he was talking about, she herself had no memories of her past life, but she knew everything about Ye Tian.
Past life and present one—maybe they never crossed paths in their previous life, but in this life they could be together.
At first Ye Tian worked during the day, and then they’d stay in their Magical Treasure in the sky. Even though it was a Flying Treasure in the sky, it had a projector, so they could see what was below the treasure, and recognize the places in the video, the scenery and the people.
He certainly wouldn’t let Yan Weiwei get bored. Bringing his wife out to undergo divine tribulation and relax, he didn’t want her to be that busy or that tired.
Aside from her cultivation, he let the Magical Treasure fly through the sky at other times, so they could gaze at the scenery of an entire country from above.
The reason he didn’t go with Jiang Tang, of course, also involved his own selfish motives.
Jiang Tang was taking ten wives with him; he’d be even busier.
Ye Tian had no desire to juggle work and keeping his wife company, only to have Jiang Tang’s presence affect him.
Jiang Tang, with his ten wives, spent all his time inside the Flying Treasure, shuttling across countries and the whole world.
He was purely sightseeing, with no intention of doing any work?
Well, he did still livestream and did some simple missions. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Jiang Tang’s current strength had already reached the level of Divine Emperor; no Mortal God or Immortal in The Mortal Realm could compare to him.
The abilities of his wives also far surpassed those of many cultivators in The Mortal Realm, so he wasn’t worried about them getting hurt.
Jiang Tang did not bring his ten wives directly into everyday life, into certain public places in reality.
He didn’t want to attract crowds of onlookers. After all, ten beauties in full bloom, even if they were heavily pregnant, would still be photographed by people.
Of course he had to hide his wives; he couldn’t allow them to be filmed and splashed all over the internet.
Although Jiang Tang was currently unmarried in reality, if he wanted to find a woman in the real world...
He didn’t want his name popping up in the news online, nor to have his old private number called by strangers, mostly asking for investment, asking for help, asking for love.
Jiang Tang blocked unfamiliar calls, only accepting contact for certain tasks during livestreams.
Bringing over ten wives to play in this plane, he naturally didn’t want outsiders disturbing them and ruining their honeymoon.
Jiang Tang felt it worthwhile to bring his wives to this plane to play, and he’d also take them to another plane—a new, technologically advanced one—to play.
He wasn’t just playing games; he also wanted to help upgrade this plane’s technology level, help some poor people, and above all make the medicines of this era more effective.
He also improved the air quality of both planes.
After all, the air here had long since lost all Spiritual Energy and was still filled with pollution; the air was far from fresh, and carried polluted viruses.
Jiang Tang used the Vitality Flower to spray this entire nation, clearing away pollution and eliminating viruses.
He also had his own selfishness when doing this: whichever country he was born in, he would help that country.
Even if he was now in another plane, his heart still leaned toward the Eastern Country.
The ten wives likewise didn’t follow him into the real-world society. Even though they were all mature married women now, when they saw those men and women dressed so cool and skimpy...
They really couldn’t believe it. This was allowed?
They’d seen plenty of beauties, but they still felt these women couldn’t compare to them.
Plus these beauties baring their backs and shoulders—this counted as beautiful?
Wouldn’t it attract a pack of wolves, leading to even more humiliating thoughts and behavior?
"Hey, hubby, it’s one husband, one wife here?"
Cai Xiangxiang asked in all innocence; she just couldn’t wrap her head around how people who used to be considered rich could accept a one-husband-one-wife system.
"Mm, on the surface that’s how it is, and that’s what the law says. As for what the laws are like in other countries and other places, that varies from person to person. As for those who ignore the law and keep three wives and four concubines, such rich people do exist, but among ordinary families they’re rare."
Jiang Tang gave a simple answer.
