Chapter 855 Handsome guys always have special privileges
Immortality?
The dining table at the Tan family residence.
The table was covered with a variety of delicacies from all over the country.
But at the dinner table, I forget who spoke first, and the conversation took a different turn.
When the topic of immortality came up, all the women at the table turned their gazes to Tan Wenjie.
Even though Caiyi and Baimin'er had made considerable progress in their cultivation, they still found it difficult to shake their fear of aging.
"Hmm." Tan Wenjie nodded slightly. "It's a bit difficult, but not impossible."
It is indeed quite difficult. According to legend, eating the ginseng fruit only adds tens of thousands of years to one's life, while eating the peaches of immortality from the Queen Mother of the West can grant one instant immortality, but that's all.
To achieve immortality, one can modify the Book of Life and Death.
But staying young isn't so easy.
Immortals are merely immortals with long lifespans; they are not ageless or immortal.
Or perhaps all those who are immortal and indestructible in the world are simply those with limited understanding, like frogs in a well.
"Sir, have you also heard of Tai Sui?"
"Tai Sui?"
This time, it was Tan Wenjie's turn to be puzzled.
Tai Sui is an inauspicious star, so it shouldn't be related to longevity.
"I heard it from someone else." Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Bai Rourou didn't keep them in suspense and said, "It is said that Tai Sui, also called Feng, can grant immortality by eating its flesh, but there is a price to pay every time you eat Tai Sui."
After she finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Tan Wenjie.
If there is anyone in this world who can find the Tai Sui (a rare fungus) and produce its flesh, it is none other than Tan Wenjie.
Tan Wenjie nodded: "Yes, I'm also a little interested in Tai Sui meat."
Since there's meat, it means it's alive; I just don't know if it can communicate.
Bai Rourou continued, "It is said that Tai Sui is born from the location where an ominous star lingers, which is extremely rare... Master, what are you doing?"
Her voice suddenly turned surprised.
Not only her, but everyone else also widened their eyes, because they discovered that after their master looked up, a starry chessboard appeared above his head, as if the roof was submerged in a sea of stars.
Tan Wenjie raised his hand and gently grabbed at the sea of stars, as if he had caught a switch. The sea of stars began to spin rapidly, and finally a star stopped in front of him.
"found it."
After breakfast, everyone eagerly awaited Tan Wenjie's return, only to find him back in the blink of an eye carrying a wooden box.
"Master, have you found Tai Sui?"
"found it."
Tan Wenjie opened the box, and inside was a large piece of white, wriggling meat.
The women: "..."
In order to achieve immortality, it wouldn't be impossible for them to grit their teeth and eat this stuff.
“The price everyone has to pay is different,” Tan Wenjie said, raising his hand to gently poke the Tai Sui meat. “And it’s very likely that it will make you lose what you cherish most.”
This thing feels a lot like "meat Ganoderma lucidum" and even looks similar.
"But I have another one." Tan Wenjie flipped his hand, taking out a basket of fruits and boxes of pills. "Eating these won't grant immortality, but it will keep you young forever. And these fruits can also prolong your life..."
"I want!"
"My husband, I want it!"
"Master, give it to me, I want one too!"
"Thank you, brother-in-law."
In an instant, Tan Wenjie was surrounded and turned into a huge human ball. When the crowd dispersed, everyone was satisfied with eating the youth-preserving pills.
Looking at Tan Wenjie again, his cheeks were covered with lipstick marks of varying sizes.
"oops!"
"Giggle."
Tan Wenjie couldn't help but sigh: This kind of life is indeed more enjoyable than being an immortal.
Happiness is only for the moment. After giving a few simple instructions, he casually placed the Tai Sui meat in the living room.
If anyone wants to eat it and doesn't care about the price of the Tai Sui, they can take it.
After giving Shen Yu a few words of advice, Tan Wenjie closed his eyes.
A new journey is about to begin.
……
Who are you looking for?
In front of Tan Wenjie's study at the Tan residence, Shen Yu, dressed in a cheongsam, frowned as she looked at the man before her who exuded a deathly aura.
Although she had never cultivated immortality or understood the methods of Qi cultivation, she had long since accepted that there were not only humans in this world, but also gods, Buddhas, ghosts, demons, and other such beings, through her constant exposure to Tan Wenjie.
The man in front of me looks so strange; he's definitely not human.
"I'm looking for Master Tan." Zhao Li said, holding the gift box in his hand. "It's just a small token of my appreciation."
"The master is taking a nap."
"Taking a nap?"
Zhao Li looked up in confusion and checked the time. It seemed to be only nine o'clock in the morning. It shouldn't be said that he was taking a nap.
"Yes, the master occasionally takes a nap, which lasts only ten minutes or so. During this time, no one is allowed to disturb him."
I thought it was because people with high cultivation levels had quirks, but it turns out he just took a nap.
Zhao Li breathed a sigh of relief and asked cautiously, "Madam, could you please mention it to me after Master Tan wakes up?"
Shen Yu's previously icy expression instantly thawed, and she smiled broadly, saying, "Okay, I'll have someone take you to wait up ahead."
"Oh, thank you so much!"
Sweet talk makes things easier.
As Zhao Li was inwardly marveling at his own agility, he paused as he passed a corner, his gaze meeting that of a girl in red who was cutting paper figures.
not human!
“Madam,” Zhao Li greeted her quickly.
If an ordinary person were to associate with such a malevolent entity, they would certainly be bewitched. But it's a completely different story when it comes to a powerful figure like Tan Wenjie. Perhaps he simply enjoys a unique atmosphere.
Yue Qiluo was startled by his sudden greeting and quickly said, "No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"
Zhao Li quickly covered his mouth; oh dear, he almost made a mistake.
Upon entering the reception room, tea and snacks were served. Zhao Li prepared to wait quietly for the next ten minutes or so until the well-rested Master Tan would see him again. Little did he know that time manifests differently in people in different circumstances.
“That is…” Zhao Li’s gaze lingered on the wooden box on the table.
"It seems to be called Tai Sui meat. It's said that eating it can grant immortality." Shen Yu followed, with several maids behind her.
"Tai Sui meat, just put it out like that?"
"Yes, the master said that anyone who wants to eat can eat, but they will have to bear the consequences themselves."
Zhao Li: "..."
His impression of the Tan family now can be summed up in two words: extravagant and domineering!
……
The sun was shining brightly overhead.
Tan Wenjie's figure appeared on the asphalt road.
The endless highway stretches from your feet to the horizon.
He has left the zombie world of the Republic of China and embarked on a new exploration of secret realms.
What awaits him this time is a low-level world: The Shining.
Tan Wenjie didn't even care about the reward; he came here more to seize a portion of the world's power.
But after landing, he felt a faint chill.
Look up at the sky.
The sun, like a light bulb in a refrigerator, shines brightly but also makes no attempt to conceal the bone-chilling cold it brings.
A car ahead had a flat tire, and a man and a woman were waiting by the roadside. The girl was wearing a revealing tank top; she took off her white outer garment and wrote a message on it.
A car sped past, but did not stop because of the girl's hotness.
"Damn it, this is completely useless."
"Or just throw this old relic away."
A man and a woman were arguing, and the argument did not ease even when Tan Wenjie arrived.
"Where is this place?" Tan Wenjie asked directly, ignoring their strange atmosphere.
His handsome appearance saved him a lot of breath. The girl put down the white coat she was holding and said, "This is Maine. There's another small town a little further on. Did your car break down too?"
“Yes, so I’d like to find a car to take me to a nearby town.” Tan Wenjie nodded.
"I'm going to Bridgeton. What about you?"
"Looking out over the hotel?"
"I heard that place is haunted."
"Haunted? That's right." Tan Wenjie nodded.
The Shining is a very famous character.
However, neither the male protagonist nor the hotel was on Tan Wenjie's hunting list.
He's like a checklist warrior who appears to be following the rules to complete tasks, but in reality, he wants more and may have no bottom line.
"Hey, what are you doing?" The man glared at Tan Wenjie with displeasure.
Although he has already decided to break up with the stupid woman in front of him, it doesn't mean he can tolerate someone chatting with a woman he doesn't want.
Just as Tam Man-kit gains a lot of favor with women because of his handsome appearance, some narrow-minded and jealous men will automatically reject him.
Of course, the difference in their appearances made Tan Wenjie completely indifferent to the other person's reaction.
Tan Wenjie glanced at the left tire of the car; because the car had continued driving after the tire blew out, the entire rim was deformed.
This car might not even be worth replacing a tire.
"What are you looking at? Do you know how to fix a car?"
"will not."
The man, who had been left speechless, turned to the girl and said, "So, you're planning to hitchhike here?"
"if not?"
“I’ve already contacted White, and he’ll be here to pick us up soon.”
"He's still drinking, and even if we leave now, he won't show up for at least two hours."
“I’ll wait here,” the man said. “You won’t be able to get a ride.”
Tan Wenjie didn't understand why the two were arguing, but judging from their behavior, it seemed that they had decided to go their separate ways.
He mentally condemned himself.
It's that damn handsome face again that caused all this trouble. They were just a bickering couple, and they actually fell out over a single sentence.
"Can I hike with you?" the girl asked Tan Wenjie. "Let's walk a little further and then hitch a ride together, but I don't have any extra money on me."
Tan Wenjie: "..."
What are you talking about if you don't have money?
However, considering the other party's seemingly reasonable attitude, Tan Wenjie reluctantly nodded. This world gave him an extremely strange feeling, and having a native by his side might make it easier for him to understand the situation.
Moreover, having someone who is "slow to run" nearby will increase one's safety.
The two walked forward a dozen steps, then stopped amidst the man's mocking remarks.
"Put on some clothes." Tan Wenjie glanced at the girl's chest with great concern. The yellow soil had turned the "edible part" gray and unpleasant to look at.
He will very gentlemanly brush the dust off the other person later.
"You're so thoughtful."
“I rarely act like that,” Tan Wenjie said. “Especially with girls, I’m always impatient and don’t want to talk.”
"Really? Well, you're really... rude, hehehe."
The two men's conversation clearly angered the man in the distance, who straddled his bicycle and started throwing and smashing things in a fit of rage.
But here, he is the extra one.
Suddenly, Tan Wenjie's ears twitched; a car was coming.
He gave a thumbs-up from the roadside.
“Generally speaking, it’s very difficult to hitchhike on the street; everyone is extremely wary,” the girl said.
Tan Wenjie smiled and said, "But this precaution is not always effective, especially in front of a handsome man, there are always people willing to pay for it."
"Whoosh-"
The car ignored Tan Wenjie's thumbs-up, kicked up a cloud of dust, and sped off into the distance.
Tan Wenjie: "..."
Girl: "..."
Tumbleweed suddenly appeared out of nowhere and brushed past Tan Wenjie.
"Hahahaha!"
The young man with long yellow hair in the driver's seat laughed wildly, while the girl dressed as a "bad girl" in the passenger seat reached out and hugged the young man in the driver's seat, giving him a deep kiss.
The young man sneered, "Look at that idiot, does he think this is a movie shoot, or does he think someone will give him a ride?"
The bad girl nodded and hummed in agreement: "However, he doesn't seem like the kind of person who would let this go easily."
As she spoke, she pointed behind her. Through the rearview mirror, the two could see the man who had been giving a thumbs-up on the roadside earlier, now turning his wrist so that his thumb went from top to bottom.
"Fake!"
"Is he provoking me?"
"Ignore him, let him eat dust in the back!"
The car continued forward, but then another Asian man appeared ahead, giving a thumbs-up.
Although they have a slight face blindness to people of different races, someone so handsome is unforgettable.
"Could it be that I've been taking too many pills?"
“We’ll just charge straight there and head back soon. As long as we don’t stop, he can’t do anything to us!”
"Can vampires only knock on doors from the outside?"
"Yes, that's it!"
Although the two men were absolutely certain that the other could not break through the car's metal shell, their bodies still trembled involuntarily, and the smiles on their faces faded, leaving them stiff.
The road ahead was empty, with nothing in sight.
"Phew, I escaped a disaster."
"God bless!"
The two breathed a sigh of relief.
But at the next intersection, the man who had been hailing a ride appeared again.
"what!"
"Damn it, shut up." The man was so angry his hair stood on end. "You idiot, all you can do when something happens is scream?"
"what--"
Squeak!
The car braked suddenly and began to reverse.
"What are you doing?" the screaming bad girl asked quickly.
As their car reversed, the figure who had been waving for a ride on the roadside disappeared ahead and reappeared in their rearview mirror.
"Of course we're going back to pick him up!" The blond man spat out the window.
He can't just turn and crash into the other party because he suspects they have a problem.
I've already said this is the real world, not a movie! (End of Chapter)
