Cultivating Immortality Begins with Selling Oneself

Chapter 240 Encountering Trouble
Under the murderous gaze of the old man in black robe, the Peach Blossom Monster said this resolutely.

What did he do wrong? He just wanted to be served by a pretty girl.

Veins bulged on the black-robed old man's forehead. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. Then he said, "Peach Blossom Spirit, I don't want things to get too ugly. If you want to continue staying in the mortal world, just hand the person over."

"I don't care about anyone else, just hand her over."

The old man in black robe took out a portrait from somewhere and handed it to the Peach Blossom Monster.

It’s Shen Mengning.

Shen Fuyu widened his eyes and looked at the old man in black robe with a complicated look. He never expected that the old man in black robe was so well prepared.

He became more and more curious about the abilities of the old man in black robe. No matter what happened to Shen Fuyu, the old man in black robe would always know about it at the first time and come to Shen Fuyu's side. Of course, the premise was that the old man in black robe wanted to help.

Shen Fuyu looked at the old man in black robe in surprise, and unconsciously became more vigilant. For Shen Fuyu, people like the old man in black robe are difficult to control, and having any connection with the old man in black robe means courting disaster.

Shen Fuyu rubbed his brows with a headache, and for a moment he was not sure whether it was right or wrong for Shen Mengning to get involved.

"You really only need one person."

The Peach Blossom Monster looked the old man in black robe up and down. He obviously did not believe the old man's suggestion of only one person and remained skeptical.

"Don't make me do it."

The old man in black robe gritted his teeth secretly. He hadn't felt so aggrieved in many years. He didn't expect to fall into the mortal world and start bargaining with the goblins.

In the past, the old man in black robe would have beaten up the Peach Blossom Fairy long ago.

The old man in black robe became unconsciously anxious. He looked up at the increasingly dark sky and his irritability gradually spread.

If he hadn't been targeted, would the old man in black robe waste time on the Peach Blossom Monster?
The Peach Blossom Monster was obviously a smart one. When he noticed that the old man in black robe looked up at the sky from time to time, he immediately grinned. The man's expression looked as annoying as it could be.

"Do you dare to do it? Aren't you afraid of attracting divine punishment? Old man, this is the mortal world, not the place for you to act recklessly."

After saying this, the Peach Blossom Monster flashed away.

Neither Shen Fuyu nor the old man in black robe reacted. Shen Fuyu stared at the dramatic scene with his eyes wide open.

The old man in black robe had cheeks as black as the bottom of a pot, and began to rummage through his storage ring for equipment.

"Shen Fuyu, a pill to replenish spiritual energy."

"I can't give you too many offensive weapons, so take these talismans. You can use them to defend yourself when fighting the Peach Blossom Monster."

The old man in black robe did not forget to take out a bunch of things while chattering.

After stuffing Shen Fuyu's arms full of money, the old man in black robe flashed away, moving very quickly, as if he was being chased by a dog.

Shen Fuyu's brows tightened unconsciously. He originally thought that with the help of the old man in black robe, the problem could be solved quickly. Who would have thought that the situation would take a turn for the worse and the old man in black robe would also encounter a crisis.

However, Shen Fuyu felt relieved after confirming that Shen Mengning was not in danger of life.

Immediately afterwards, the constable patrolling the street noticed something was wrong and ran to the cabin in an instant.

Shen Fuyu left the scene quietly and ran towards the Shen Mansion.

……

Shen House.

Plum Blossom Garden.

Mrs. Shen frowned, her heart filled with anxiety.

However, Mrs. Shen's identity is special, and if she takes action, it will definitely attract a lot of attention. Therefore, she can only pass the matter on and cannot investigate it personally.

All Mrs. Shen could do was wait for news in the mansion. With her precious daughter missing, she naturally had no mood to do anything else. Her thoughts and eyes were filled with Shen Mengning, and all sorts of dangerous thoughts flashed through her mind. "Mother, don't worry too much. My sister now has some self-protection ability. I believe she will definitely get through this crisis safely."

Although Shen Mengning was very worried about Shen Mengning, she had to remain calm in front of her mother to prevent her mother from becoming more anxious.

"Ah."

Mrs. Shen nodded.

How could she not know? The best thing to do now is to wait.

Waiting for news.

However, as a mother, knowing that her daughter might be in danger, she could only wait in the mansion and could not do anything. How could Mrs. Shen not be anxious?

"Shen Fuyu!"

Just as Shen Mengning was racking her brains to think of how to comfort her mother, she saw Shen Fuyu at a glance. Shen Mengning seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. She immediately rushed out of the house and came to Shen Fuyu. Her eyes revealed a bit of expectation.

"Did Shen Fuyu find out any news about my sister?"

Under the expectant gaze of Shen Mengning and Madam Shen, Shen Fuyu shook his head regretfully.

I don’t know what special means the Peach Blossom Monster used, but Shen Fuyu didn’t detect any other people’s presence in the cabin.

Shen Mengning and Madam Shen looked away in disappointment, their heads drooping unconsciously. Shen Mengning had been kidnapped once before, and now she was inexplicably missing. What if she returned to her previous state? Would Shen Mengning suffer from stress, becoming extremely frightened in front of the kidnappers, unable to calm down at all, and acting irrationally?

The mother and daughter thought the same thing.

"Shen Mengning should be safe for the time being."

Shen Fuyu gave a dry comforting remark. Although the Peach Blossom Monster kept saying that he wanted to be served by a beautiful girl, Shen Fuyu always felt that this was not the case.

How could a demon-like Peach Blossom Monster do such a foolish thing? He kidnapped beautiful girls in the city just to be served?
Logically speaking, a monster like this that has worked so hard to cultivate into a human form should pay more attention to its feathers, for fear of making a wrong move and being hated by the Heavenly Dao.

I would never do such a stupid thing.

Shen Fuyu always felt that things were not that simple.

He had a vague guess in his mind, but in order to avoid causing panic, Shen Fuyu chose to conceal it.

"Ma'am, are you willing to believe me?"

Shen Fuyu looked at Mrs. Shen with extremely serious eyes.

Mrs. Shen subconsciously looked up and met Shen Fuyu's gaze. Looking into Shen Fuyu's clear and pure eyes, Mrs. Shen's mood inexplicably calmed down. In Shen Fuyu's expectant gaze, Mrs. Shen nodded without hesitation.

She believed Shen Fuyu.

Shen Fuyu truly cares about the Shen sisters and will not hurt them.

After receiving a positive response from Mrs. Shen, Shen Fuyu's lips curled up slightly. The feeling of being trusted by others was very good.

"Madam, please find a nanny who is particularly good at dressing up to groom Shen Mengning and me."

It’s not that Shen Fuyu is narcissistic, it’s just that Shen Fuyu is indeed quite pretty.

Since the Peach Blossom Monster wanted a beautiful girl, Shen Fuyu and Shen Mengning dressed up and took the initiative to lure the Peach Blossom Monster out.

"Madam, the flower thief likes pretty girls. The second young lady and I are quite pretty. We might as well use ourselves as bait to lure him out."

"Waiting blindly will only put the young lady in a more dangerous situation. It is better to take the initiative."

Using oneself as bait...
