Cultivating Immortality Begins with Selling Oneself

Chapter 213 I caught you
Thinking of what he had experienced some time ago, a trace of fear flashed in Zhao Shounong's eyes. In all his years, this was the first time he had encountered such a strange thing. If Zhao Shounong had not experienced it himself, he would not have dared to believe it.

Although Zhao Shounong pretended to be calm in front of his family, as if he was not afraid at all, Zhao Shounong was actually unsure in his heart how long he could hold on. The monster would not cause trouble for a while. What if the monster got tired of playing? Wouldn't all the villagers in the village, hundreds of people, be the monster's food reserves?

Zhao Shounong swallowed his saliva, let out a heavy sigh, and looked at Shen Fuyu with sadness in his eyes. They had no choice but to stay in the village, but they must not delay Shen Fuyu. Shen Fuyu had already paid too much for this family, and they could not be selfish.

"Erhua, come back to the village to visit daddy when you have the chance."

"Pack up your things and leave tomorrow morning. Be obedient."

After saying that, Zhao Shounong turned his back, unwilling to look at Shen Fuyu.

Shen Fuyu's eyes were complicated. Seeing Zhao Shounong's slightly trembling body, he felt mixed emotions.

"Master Shen Yi, you take the eldest and second young ladies away tomorrow morning. I will stay here to handle things."

Before Shen Yi could say anything, Zhao Shounong and Shen Fuyu's mother interrupted him.

"No, no!"

"Erhua, you must leave. Back then, our family was so poor that we could barely afford to eat and almost starved to death. It was you who voluntarily sold yourself to our family in exchange for money so we could survive the famine. We owe you a lot. We can't be so selfish as to leave you in the village to die with us."

"Erhua, be obedient. You have a better life ahead of you. The eldest and second young ladies are both good people. Daddy believes they will treat you well. Erhua, live a good life with the master family after you go out. Don't worry about us."

There was an unconcealable sadness in his voice. No one can remain calm in the face of death.

Everyone knew in their hearts that after this departure, it was unknown whether they would be able to meet again in the future.

The little rascals ran to Shen Fuyu one after another, their tender voices revealing determination. They surrounded Shen Fuyu and hugged his thighs.

"Sister, listen to Daddy."

The little rascals' clear eyes not only did not show any dissatisfaction or resentment, but instead hoped that Shen Fuyu would leave.

The softest part of Shen Fuyu's heart seemed to be touched, and his eyes softened unconsciously when he looked at Little Radish Head. He was responsible for Zhao Shounong's family for the sake of the original owner. After all, Shen Fuyu occupied the original owner's body, and he had to take good care of the family on behalf of the original owner.

As for feelings, Shen Fuyu has no feelings for Zhao Shounong's family, he just wants to fulfill his responsibilities.

Feeling the warm family atmosphere, Shen Mengwu and Shen Mengning stood firmly behind Shen Fuyu.

"Shen Fuyu, if anything goes wrong, we'll solve it together. We absolutely cannot leave you alone in the village."

"Yes, yes, Shen Fuyu and I are one. There's no reason why we would just run away if you were to take the lead in danger."

Finally, the Shen sisters looked at each other and said firmly, "We are not leaving."

Shen Yi didn't say anything, but just silently moved a few inches closer to Shen Fuyu, silently expressing his attitude with his actions.

Shen Fuyu forced a smile, "Okay, then we'll face the monster together."

Zhao Shounong stood aside, his mouth brimming with anxiety, looking at Shen Fuyu with eyes full of disapproval.

"Dad, don't worry. Now that we've entered the village, the monsters will definitely notice it. We don't know if they'll be able to leave by then."

Hearing this, Zhao Shounong opened his mouth but said nothing.

But a heavy sigh of a lifetime escaped from his lips.

"Dad, you should take a rest first. You must have not slept a wink in these days."

Shen Fuyu looked at the dark circles under Zhao Shounong's eyes and understood what was going on. Zhao Shounong was the only labor force in the family. When something like this happened, it was natural for Zhao Shounong to stay up all night and could only take a short nap during the day. He had naturally been sleep deprived for a long time.

Zhao Shounong didn't refuse. "Erhua, the room is small. I'll excuse you and the two young ladies and ask them to rest next door."

The earthen houses are connected, and there is only one door for the three houses. The houses on the east and west sides are used as bedrooms, and the middle one is the kitchen.

The room on the east side was vacated for Shen Fuyu and the Shen sisters to rest alone.

Shen Fuyu did not refuse. Shen Fuyu had many secrets. Even if his family had no intention of harming him, Shen Fuyu still needed to hide them.

The more you know, the more your family will worry.

Shen Fuyu has no burden at all when being with the Shen sisters. After all, the Shen sisters will not betray Shen Fuyu.

Most of Shen Fuyu's secrets are also known to the Shen sisters.

"Mom, it's getting late. You should go and get some rest. We will be the ones keeping watch tonight."

Shen Fuyu and Shen Yi looked at each other and coaxed everyone in the room to sleep until the sound of even breathing was heard. Then Shen Yi spoke.

"Fu Yu, I'll go out and check first."

Shen Fuyu nodded and let Shen Yi go out to check the situation.

Shen Yi's origins are mysterious, and his cultivation is higher than Shen Fuyu's, so Shen Fuyu is not worried at all that Shen Yi will be in danger.

A quarter of an hour later, Shen Yi came back. A hint of surprise flashed in Shen Fuyu's eyes. So soon?

Seeing Shen Fuyu's confusion, Shen Yi's face darkened and he shook his head at Shen Fuyu.

"Except that the moon is redder, there's nothing wrong with it."

No clues were found.

"Just when I went out, I encountered a little resistance, like an invisible barrier trying to lock me in the room. However, he didn't succeed, and I beat him back forcefully."

"Master, is it possible that your fighting power is too high and the monster is no match for you, so it hid?"

Shen Fuyu's eyes were complicated. The monster could live for such a long time, so it must be very smart. If it encountered danger and couldn't defeat it, it would naturally choose to hide to avoid harm. Shen Fuyu walked out tentatively.

She spread her hands towards Shen Yi and said, "There is no resistance at all."

"Forget it, Master, don't worry about it for now. I'll go out and check the situation. If there's anything wrong, we can discuss it together."

Throwing down a word, Shen Fuyu left without looking back. Looking at Shen Fuyu's elegant back, Shen Yi's eyes flashed with helplessness. He held the sword in his arms and silently guarded the night, determined to protect everyone in the house.

As soon as Shen Fuyu walked out of the yard, she felt someone following her secretly. Shen Fuyu's eyes suddenly became sharp. She glanced back and caught a glimpse of a red figure. Shen Fuyu's eyes narrowed dangerously.

Could it be that the monster thought she was a soft persimmon and wanted to lure her over?

A guess emerged in his mind, and Shen Fuyu subconsciously held his breath. His steps became cautious, and he approached the red figure step by step.

Be extremely careful with every move you make.

The red figure was unaware and hid behind the pigpen.

Shen Fuyu moved closer and closer, and when he was only one step away, Shen Fuyu stretched out his hand.

"Monster, I got you!"
