The Future Empress Is Given Death At The Beginning, And I Become Stronger When I Am Stupid.

Qin Mu's sarcastic tone made Shen Yaoxi's heart skip a beat. Her heart felt like it was being held in her throat, as if a sharp blade was hanging over it, ready to shatter at the slightest touch.

"I dare not, I dare not..." She shook her head, denying it, her face pale.

Although her words were indeed just a compromise, she had never thought of achieving immortality. As long as she could survive, that was her current pursuit.

"My things are not so easily obtained." Qin Mu sneered, then let go of her hand and walked towards the bed.

Shen Yaoxi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling completely drained, and sat down on the ground.

But at this moment, Qin Mu suddenly turned around, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth. "Do you know how many benefits your master just gained?"

Shen Yaoxi was taken aback.

Her master... gained benefits?

Qin Mu hadn't finished speaking yet.

"After the cultivation just now, your master's cultivation has at least advanced to the First Layer. Do you know what this means?" Qin Mu turned his head and looked at her, saying calmly.

Hearing this, Shen Yaoxi's pupils contracted violently, her eyes widening in shock.

Of course, she knew what this meant.

No one knew Mu Qingzi's cultivation better than her, and no one knew how long Mu Qingzi had been trapped in this realm.

But... was breaking through to the Saint Realm really that simple?

As a little female slave who had never enjoyed the benefits of dual cultivation, Shen Yaoxi's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt.

Although she had heard some rumors, she would never truly understand such things without personal experience.

But in the next moment, a sense of unease suddenly flashed through Shen Yaoxi's heart.

Would this tyrant in front of her really make it so easy for her master to increase her strength...

After all, in the Great Qin harem, only a few women could receive such favor.

And most of the concubines were at best just a tool.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what it means. I just hope that you won't make things difficult for my master." Shen Yaoxi suppressed her fear and said calmly.

Her voice trembled a bit, showing her inner nervousness and fear.

Sure enough, Qin Mu said indifferently, "These things don't belong to her, so I will abolish her cultivation and turn her into a useless person. If she still doesn't behave, I don't mind killing her."

Abolish her cultivation, turn her into a useless person, kill her...

Shen Yaoxi's body swayed, almost falling to the ground. Her face turned pale, and her head buzzed.

She suppressed the overwhelming anger and desolation in her heart and pleaded, "Your Majesty, I beg you, you can't kill my master. She... she still has value..."

"What value?" Qin Mu asked casually.

"She... she understands formations, artifact refining, and various other techniques. You need these things, so keeping her alive would be useful!" Shen Yaoxi hurriedly explained, afraid that Qin Mu would impulsively kill Mu Qingzi.

However, Qin Mu coldly snorted, "She is my enemy. She even dreamed of killing me just now. With her current strength, such an unstable factor, how can I keep her?"

Shen Yaoxi fell silent, hesitated for a moment, and slowly said,

"Your Majesty should understand that we women, to some extent, are also a kind of bargaining chip."

As Shen Yaoxi spoke, her eyes turned slightly red. Choking back tears, she looked at Qin Mu with a sorrowful expression and said, "Please spare my master. As long as you don't kill her, I am willing to bear all the blame on her behalf!"

"You?" Qin Mu looked her up and down, and asked seriously, "When you're already like this, why would you still bear someone else's blame?"

Shen Yaoxi: "........"

She opened her mouth, preparing to explain, but found that her throat seemed to be choked by something, making it impossible for her to speak...

...

...

The sun rose and set, time flew by.

The pitch-black night arrived once again.

But this time, the night in Heavenly Wolf City was slightly different from before.

In the grand hall of the tallest building in the city, Saints appeared silently one after another.

They stood side by side, solemn and dignified, like sculptures standing in the hall.

One after another, the lights burned silently in front of them, casting a reflection on half of their faces, while the other half remained hidden in darkness.

The atmosphere gradually became heavy, even the bustling evening wind gradually fell silent, giving rise to a sense of impending storm.

...

PS: Didn't I say that the DR diamond ring, which claims that only one diamond can be bought with one ID card, is a scam? So I didn't buy it, which means I still don't have a diamond ring to use.

These days, I'm almost pulling my hair out worrying about the dowry. We have the 66,000 yuan for the engagement, but we still need another 100,000 yuan for the wedding. This 100,000 yuan is completely uncertain at the moment. We've already spent too much, and I can't sleep at night just thinking about it. Plus, I've been running around continuously, and I haven't eaten for several nights, I simply can't eat.

But fortunately, we're not in a hurry to get married, so we can save some more money.

But I really can't afford a diamond ring. The small ones don't look good, and the big ones are too expensive. There's simply no compromise.

Fortunately, my partner is more family-oriented and cares about money. In the end, we decided not to buy a natural diamond, but to buy a lab-grown one.

This way, we saved a lot of money. A 0.57-carat lab-grown diamond with the ring setting costs just over 3,000 yuan. Well... how should I put it, although it's still expensive, it's much better than that DR thing.

Including the ring, drinks, cigarettes, food, scene decoration, props, photography, costume rental, wedding favors, and red envelopes for the guests from the bride's side, this engagement banquet will cost at least tens of thousands of yuan. This is just a rough estimate, there are many more details, such as the cake, flowers, fruits, snacks, etc. at the engagement banquet, and all these things cost money...

I dare not calculate, I really dare not calculate, it's all about money.

Before, I thought it would cost around 300,000 yuan to get married, but now I realize that it's far from enough. We haven't even gotten married yet, and we've already spent nearly 200,000 yuan just on the engagement...

We really can't afford it, it's too difficult.

On the other hand, the bride's side, apart from the dowry being the major expense, doesn't need to spend much else.

When a man is too tired, if possible, I really want to be a woman...

But speaking of the dowry, I suddenly remembered when her father mentioned the accompanying gifts. He raised one finger and said he could at least provide this much.

What does one finger mean? 10,000 yuan? It shouldn't be possible, after all, her father speaks so confidently, would he joke about 10,000 yuan?

100,000 yuan? I don't think so either, considering that he receives an annual bonus of over 200,000 yuan, would he really take out 100,000 yuan so easily?

So...

Old Bi Deng, hurry up and give me a million gold coins, don't make me look down on you!!
