Cultivating Immortality Begins with Selling Oneself

Chapter 158 No distinction between right and wrong
"The Queen's people... Master, how did you know?"

The old man in black robe took out an apple from his sleeve and started biting it, answering Shen Fuyu incoherently.

"Of course I heard it when I came here."

"As long as I want, I can hear all your conversations."

The light tone of voice once again made Shen Fuyu realize that the old man in black robe had a high level of cultivation.

After spending such a long time together, Shen Fuyu gradually figured out that the old man in black robe would not kill her. In that case...what was there to be afraid of!

The black-robed old man would at most get angry and beat her up, but it didn't matter. She was thick-skinned and could handle the beating, right?

Thinking of this, Shen Fuyu shamelessly approached the old man in black robe and took out a bunch of grapes from the storage ring the old man in black robe gave her. Shen Fuyu's fingers were beautiful and deft, peeling the grapes for the old man in black robe.

He did not forget to stuff the grapes into the mouth of the old man in black robe, which can be said to be the extreme use of his lackey skills.

Shen Fuyu chuckled, "Master, Murong Yue was able to receive the punishment she deserved, thanks to the Manifestation Pill. Master, I only have a Real Cigarette Egg, can you see if I can..."

"In other words, Master, can you make pills? If not, please teach me! When I become an alchemist, I can provide you with countless pills. When others mention your disciple, they will surely envy you for having such an all-round genius."

Shen Fuyu has always been flexible and doesn't think there is anything shameful in trying to please the old man in black robe. After all, the old man in black robe can give Shen Fuyu many things when he is happy, and even teach Shen Fuyu how to practice. Why should Shen Fuyu not be satisfied?
At this time, Shen Fuyu had completely forgotten what had just happened.

The old man in black robe remained silent no matter how much Shen Fuyu talked. When Shen Fuyu was in despair, the old man in black robe's rough voice sounded like the sound of nature.

"Shen Fuyu, do you really want to know?"

Shen Fuyu nodded vigorously. Since he could make the True Word Pill, it meant that as long as he was professional, he could make any kind of pill. Shen Fuyu became very interested in this.

The black-robed old man raised his lips to a wicked smile, "Sure!"

After receiving the affirmative answer from the old man in black robe, Shen Fuyu was not as happy as expected. Instead, he looked at the old man in black robe with vigilance. He agreed so easily, there must be something fishy going on.

The old man in black robe raised his eyebrows, feeling relieved about Shen Fuyu's vigilance. Shen Fuyu had not been fooled many times, and would definitely trust others easily when encountering similar things in the future. Rather than suffering losses at the hands of others, it would be better to suffer losses at his hands. After all, he would not do anything to Shen Fuyu.

Thinking of this, the old man in black robe became more and more righteous. He threw the teacup in front of Shen Fuyu.

"It's simple. Put two drops of blood in the teacup."

"Although I don't know how to make pills, I can give you pills."

"I can also tell you what you want to know about Murong Yue. By the way, I will also give you a life-saving talisman. If you have a conflict with the masters behind the Queen in the future, it can save your life."

The temptation was immense. Shen Fuyu glanced at the black-robed old man.

The tropes from fairy tales and melodramatic novels immediately surfaced in Shen Fuyu's mind. She shielded her chest with her hands and spoke weakly, "Master, you won't use blood to mess things up for me, will you? Like, connect me with someone else's destiny."

The old man in black robe's face turned dark, and he despised Shen Fuyu's idea in his heart.

"You little heartless thing, thinking about something all day long."

"If you don't do this voluntarily, it's against the will of heaven, and the backlash you'll suffer will be even more severe."

With these words, Shen Fuyu was completely relieved. He picked up the Qingfeng Sword and slashed it across his palm.

Soon, the teacup was filled with blood.

The old man in black robe was satisfied with Shen Fuyu's straightforward action, but also a little surprised.

I thought Shen Fuyu would delay for a while.

"Here, Master."

During this period of love and hate with the black-robed old man, even though Shen Fuyu was very reluctant to admit it, he still couldn't help but develop some feelings for the black-robed old man. While Shen Fuyu was being beaten, he also accepted the black-robed old man's kindness.

After getting what he wanted, the old man in black robe looked at Shen Fuyu with great satisfaction. He immediately took out the elixir and life-saving talisman, and also took out a magic weapon.

It's a pair of step-shaking ornaments.

"I got this hairpin by accident. It has no special use except that it's beautiful. You can use it as a decoration."

"Murong Yue has some unclean aura on her body. I didn't have time to check what it was. The Queen took the risk of taking Murong Yue away, probably because of this."

After the old man in black robe finished speaking, he disappeared into the air without waiting for Shen Fuyu to speak.

By the time Shen Fuyu reacted, the old man in black robe had already flown away.

Shen Fuyu: "..."

It’s okay. The old man in black robe always does what he wants. Just get used to it.

Shen Fuyu comforted himself in his heart.

At the same time, in the capital, Jingren Palace.

The news of Princess Murong's disappearance at the execution ground has reached the emperor's ears. Many ministers believe that the emperor is obstructing the matter and force him to make a decision.

The emperor became impatient and after making an excuse, he immediately went to Jingren Palace in anger.

The emperor's power is particularly terrifying.

The palace maids and eunuchs didn't even dare to raise their heads.

"His Majesty."

The Empress bowed and saluted. If you look closely, you will find that her action was extremely perfunctory. Apparently, because of the Bai Yueguang incident, the Empress and the Emperor were almost breaking up. However, due to the powerful family of the Empress, the Emperor did not dare to do anything to the Empress.

"Queen!"

The emperor swung his arm and hit the empress hard on the cheek, looking at her with anger in his eyes.

"You are so soft-hearted! You are so soft-hearted! Do you know how evil Murong Yue has done? You actually dared to send someone to the execution ground."

"If I don't deal with Murong Yue harshly, I will lose my prestige among the people. Who will trust me in the future?"

The emperor's chest heaved violently, and he was obviously very angry about the queen's behavior.

"Your Majesty, do you have any evidence? If not, please do not slander me."

The Queen tilted her head, her cheek aching slightly.

This is the first time the emperor has beaten her in so many years. Is it because Murong Yue is missing, or does he want to vent his anger for Bai Yueguang?

The Queen prefers the latter.

She raised her head, her eyes bleak with grief, the dark circles beneath them particularly noticeable. Clearly, because of the Murong Yue incident, the Empress hadn't gotten a good night's sleep for several days; otherwise, she wouldn't be so haggard.

"Your Majesty, as the mother of a nation, I must set an example. Don't I know what is most important? Do you think I can't tell right from wrong?"

The Queen Mother was very smart. She did not choose to confront the Emperor at this time. Instead, she retreated to advance, hoping to arouse the Emperor's sympathy.
