Cultivating Immortality Begins with Selling Oneself

Chapter 223: Beat it up with a rake

Sensing Shen Fuyu's gaze as if he were looking at her like a fool, Shen Mengwu pouted and snorted coldly.

She's not stupid.

In the past two days, whenever Shen Mengwu closed her eyes, the image of Shen Fuyu covered in blood, as if he would die in the next second, would appear in her mind. Shen Mengwu was filled with anger and wanted to beat the octopus monster... "Hey!"

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Shen Fuyu was immediately filled with laughter. The octopus had the nerve to question him. Since she couldn't defeat the octopus, Shen Mengwu could only attack from other angles.

If she just spent a little more silver, her efficiency could be doubled, and she could lure out the octopus monster sooner.

"Shen Fuyu, you don't understand me at all."

Shen Mengwu's eyes gradually became resentful, as if Shen Fuyu was a heartless man.

"I want to avenge you."

With just one simple sentence, Shen Fuyu instantly understood what Shen Mengwu meant. A warm feeling passed through his heart, and Shen Fuyu couldn't help but raise his hand and touch Shen Mengwu's head.

"Shen Mengwu, I know everything. I understand everything."

Shen Mengwu turned her head away, hiding the tears in her eyes, and refused to look at Shen Fuyu. Shen Fuyu knew that Shen Mengwu was very concerned about her reputation, so she smiled and stopped talking.

"As expected of a rich lady, she's so generous. Everyone, work harder and drain the river as soon as possible."

The villagers were initially reluctant to see the river water they depended on for survival drained away. They felt very confused and didn't know whether this was right or wrong.

However, Shen Mengwu just gave out twenty taels of silver, forgetting about right or wrong.

Not to mention that draining the river was also a way to save ourselves.

You can make money and save lives at the same time, so why not do it?

All of a sudden, the villagers seemed to be energized, and their originally hesitant movements became very agile. Fearing that they would not be able to compare with the young and middle-aged people, which would make Shen Mengwu dissatisfied, the villagers had no choice but to work with all their might.

The village chief standing not far away let out a sigh and looked at Shen Mengwu with complicated eyes.

He went through great pains to persuade the villagers to drain the river, but Shen Mengwu made the villagers willing to do so.

As expected, money can solve most of the world's problems.

Seeing how hard the villagers were working, the young people did not dare to fall behind and no one tried to cheat. Soon, more than half of the river water was drained.

Shen Fuyu and Shen Yi stood together, looking at the river being drained, a smile appearing in their eyes.

Ah!
You damn monster, keep hiding in the river.

Shen Fuyu wanted to see how long the octopus monster could hide in the river. If it had the guts, it would never come out for the rest of its life.

"Shen Fuyu, you are very perseverant."

Shen Yi thought about how Shen Fuyu, with his fourth level of Qi training, had spent such a long time fighting the octopus monster two days ago. He was shocked, but at the same time, he felt happy and proud of Shen Fuyu.

"Master, I can't say I have perseverance, I can only say I have no other choice. In order to survive, people can always unleash their powerful potential."

Thinking of that battle, Shen Fuyu subconsciously touched his chest, and his chest was aching slightly at this time.

……

Here.

River bottom palace.

The octopus curled up into a small ball and ran back and forth in the palace at the bottom of the river, wailing in his heart.

"Ahhhhh, damn it! Why did I run into him here? I can't beat him at all, and now the river is about to be drained dry. What should I do? Do I have to fight him?"

A faint regret rose in the Octopus Monster's heart. It shouldn't have provoked Dahe Village. If it had gone to another village, this scene would definitely not have happened. Thinking of this, a bold idea quietly crept into its mind. The Octopus Monster thought, if that person doesn't leave, it can leave and escape to other places!

"I don't want to leave you here, I have my own place to stay."

The octopus' eyes became brighter and brighter. He felt that he had come up with a great idea. He packed up his things and prepared to leave the sea.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yi's ghost was still there and his voice reached his ears.

"Don't even think about leaving. I've put a tracking drug in you."

"No matter where you are, I will be able to detect you."

As soon as these words were spoken, the monster's mental state completely weakened, things were scattered all over the ground, and its eyes were full of despair. Why did Shen Yi want to cut off all its ways of survival?
The monster pounded the ground with his hands angrily, venting his anger. Feeling the river water becoming increasingly scarce, he became more and more anxious.

never mind!

If we get out early, at least there will be some river water left.

Most of the monster's energy comes from the river water. Away from the river water, the monster can only exert one-tenth of its power. Therefore, the monster can only choose to attack villages with river water.

"Wow!"

There was a noise in the river, as if something was about to come out, and everyone's mental state gradually became tense.

"Village Chief, there seems to be some movement in the river? It seems like a monster is about to emerge. What should we do?"

When encountering problems, villagers subconsciously ask the village chief.

The village chief made a prompt decision, "Everyone come up first."

The villagers and young men all moved away from the river. Shen Fuyu and Shen Yi became nervous instantly, watching the movements on the river surface at all times.

After a while, the monster's tentacles floated up from the river, and just one tentacle was taller than all the young men present.

Seeing this kind of scene for the first time, everyone was a little shocked.

Shen Mengwu consciously ran to Shen Mengning's side and protected Shen Mengning behind her without making a sound. Although Shen Mengning had also been practicing martial arts and exercising actively during this period, Shen Mengwu was already accustomed to encountering danger and subconsciously protected Shen Mengning. When Shen Mengning noticed her sister's little movements, a warm feeling passed through her heart, and she looked at Shen Mengwu with very warm eyes.

Shen Mengwu held her sister's left hand and walked carefully to Shen Fuyu with a worried look in her eyes.

"Shen Fuyu, you must be careful. If you can't win, run away, or let Master Shen Yi handle it. Don't try to be brave. Shen Fuyu, I don't want to see you get hurt. To me, killing monsters is far less important than your safety."

Shen Mengning was also worried and reminded, "Fuyu, safety comes first. Master Shen Yi, you have to be careful too."

Seeing Shen Fuyu calling Shen Yi "Master", the Shen sisters took the initiative to join Shen Fuyu in calling him "Master".

Shen Yi corrected her several times, but the Shen sisters pretended not to hear and therefore acquiesced.

The Shen sisters were frightened whenever they thought of Shen Fuyu covered in wounds. Unconsciously, Shen Fuyu had become an indispensable part of their lives, a family member without blood ties.

Shen Fuyu nodded to indicate that he had received it, but his eyes never left the river.

Standing with Shen Yi.

The two men stood straight, holding a sword in their hands, and their figures, one tall and one short, were particularly well matched.

With them around, the people unconsciously quieted down and felt strangely at ease.

"brush!"

The monster's entire body floated out of the river, and the river water was barely enough to hide the monster's shape.

The octopus monster was angry. It had finally found soothing river water that could nourish its body and give it full strength, but it was drained away by the ignorant villagers. The monster subconsciously wanted to get angry, but when it met Shen Yi's gaze, it unconsciously shrank its neck.
