This is what cultivating immortals is like

"Um."

Lu Bei nodded and followed up: "But don't get too happy too soon. It's not the kind of thing that you can get through to the end. After all, we are not familiar with each other. Let's try half of it first. If it works, we will continue. If it doesn't work, we will break up."

"What does it mean to only get through half of it?"

Zhu Qilan frowned. If it works, it will work. If it doesn't work, it won't work. Is the compromise plan to prepare for both ends?

"Let's not talk about it for now. Your situation is a bit tricky. If you don't curb your evil thoughts, I won't be able to find a place." Lu Bei shook his head and walked quickly towards Zhu Qilan.

Butler Yu: "..."

So, what exactly are you planning to do?

At first, she heard that the two of them were discussing a business. As she listened, she found that the business seemed much bigger than she had imagined.

In his sight, Lu Bei raised his hand and put it on Zhu Qilan's shoulder. The latter groaned and his breathing gradually became calmer.

Butler Yu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but fearing that Zhu Qilan actually liked it in his heart, he stood as straight as a wooden stake, staring at Lu Bei with his eyes.

After a dozen breaths, Lu Bei stopped and stood still.

Zhu Qilan slowly opened his mouth and spit out a cloud of cold mist. The frost on his brows melted rapidly, and he said in a gentle tone: "Bai Yu, take the guests to rest for a while and tell the kitchen to treat them well. I will be here soon."

"My cousin is so polite. We are all members of our family. Let the chef prepare a simple meal. Just order some delicacies from the mountains and seas, home-cooked dishes such as land and water. Thirty or fifty dishes are enough. There are too many to finish."

"..."

Zhu Qilan's steps out of the quiet room hesitated slightly. What does cousin mean? She has this relative, why doesn't she know?

The information was not checked clearly?

…

Zhu Qilan took a bath and changed clothes, and Lu Bei, led by Butler Yu, returned to the pavilion of the waterside pavilion and continued to stare at the koi.

After a while, the snacks were served, and Lu Bei looked at them in shock.

A few plates of snacks such as melon seeds, peanuts, and candied dates, plus a cup of tea, are no different from the standard during the New Year in Sanqingfeng, even missing apples.

"You make so much money every day, just send me this. Poor relatives are really looked down upon everywhere." Lu Bei curled his lips, poured three plates of snacks into his mouth, swallowed it with a gulp, and then picked up the tea and savored it carefully.

"Yeah, this tea is not as good as my head's special offer..."

Lu Bei put down the tea cup and raised his hand to call the maid who was waiting outside the pavilion. He handed over the tea bag and asked her to make another pot.

The maid bowed and left, and Lu Bei waited for a moment to confirm that the dishes of snacks were not appetizers, but indeed staple food. The boss in his heart was not happy.

What’s wrong with bigu? Does bigu mean you don’t have to pursue quality of life?

About half an hour later, Lu Bei fought a series of battles and defeated eight koi in a row. Zhu Qilan finished bathing and changing clothes, and came to the pavilion of the waterside pavilion without makeup or makeup.

"Cousin, it's just a bath. Why does it take so long?"

Because he is from his own family, Lu Bei complained without any shame: "Why, there is too much dust in the creaking nest, and it can't be rubbed off for a long time?"

You are a cheap cultivator!

Butler Yu, who followed closely, twitched his lips and saw that his princess looked calm, but in the end he didn't say anything.

The fragrance of Lingcha floated away. Zhu Qilan shrugged and sniffed slightly. He picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup. He took a small sip and frowned suddenly.

Special offer for Royal Study Room!

Zhu Qilan's heart sank, but the expression on his face remained unchanged. He glanced at Lu Bei lightly: "Good tea. I'm sorry for asking you to bring your own tea."

That’s what I’ve been waiting for!

Lu Bei looked contemptuous: "Cousin, there is a lot of traffic outside your house. I have to pay a sky-high price to see you. As a result, I have to bring my own tea. This is a bit unreasonable..."

"If you meet me, you will save a huge amount of money."

"Ah this..."

Lu Bei's eyes widened. From a businessman's point of view, Zhu Qilan was justified and he couldn't argue with it.

"The tea is good. How much more are there? Let me give you a price." Zhu Qilan continued.

"Gifted by a friend, priceless."

"Add money."

"I can consider it, but I have to ask my friends first."

"..."

Seeing Lu Bei's serious face, Zhu Qilan became a little uncertain.

It was not a pleasant encounter the night before last year. She ordered someone to investigate Lu Bei's intelligence. In less than three days, her subordinates reported all the details including where Lu Bei's family lived, how many people they had, and what color underwear they liked to wear. In front of me.

Zhu Qilan went through all the information one by one and was confident that no clues had been missed.

Obviously, the intelligence did not thoroughly investigate who the friend Lu Bei mentioned was. There was no mention of the source of the special spiritual tea in the Royal Study Room.

Is it possible that this man is the husband that the emperor’s brother specially placed beside me to choose for me?

That's why he called me cousin.

No, he really planned to kill me when he fought with me that night!

Furthermore, if it is true that the emperor's younger brother cannot afford to lose, and is secretly trying to pull strings, this person is interested in me, and it is even more impossible for him to take out the spiritual tea and reveal his identity...

That's not right. Is it possible that he is testing me?

Zhu Qilan held the tea cup without saying a word, with many thoughts on her mind, and her demonic thoughts were about to stir up again.

A cup of tea suddenly made Lu Bei's identity official. She was irritated and quite repulsed. She originally thought Lu Bei was a good knife, but now that she looked at it, it didn't taste good at all.

This man is so ugly, no matter how you look at him, you can't help but hate him.

"Bai Yu, see you off."

"???"

A string of question marks floated across Lu Bei's forehead, he raised his hand to call a pause, and looked at Zhu Qilan dumbfounded: "Cousin, I know it's only half way, and it makes you very unhappy if it's not up or down, but that's not how business is negotiated, you can lower the price! "

"No, I suddenly have no interest in you anymore."

Let me go, you can become an eel!

Lu Bei was quite speechless. After doing business, Zhu Qilan flipped the table directly, causing him to stop talking. He clenched his fist and coughed lightly: "Since you have seen through it, cousin, I will make another quibble. Yesterday, I went to Xuanyin Division to resign. The boss of Ziwei said When he heard that I was looking for another job, he hugged my thighs and cried loudly on the spot, and gave me a high price that I couldn't refuse."

At this point, he saw that Zhu Qilan's face was expressionless and had no intention of interrupting, so he had to continue: "Cousin, you know that I am loyal and affectionate. I only lack external things like money. I can't refuse him, so I can only come to him. You increased the price."

"..."

"Of course, it's okay if you don't add me. We are all relatives. I will work for you for free. If there are any dangerous or life-threatening tasks that you can't handle alone, let me do it. No matter how dangerous it is, I promise Not even a frown."

There is such a good thing, promise him!

Butler Yu nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "It's free, don't use it in vain."

Zhu Qilan is not like that. A benevolent person sees a benevolent emperor and a benevolent person sees an emperor. There is something wrong in his heart. The more he listens to Lu Bei's sophistry, the more he rejects him.

Yes, free means no money, but what he wants is human life!

She glanced in the direction of the capital and secretly scolded her bratty brother for meddling in other people's business. After snorting coldly, she emphasized her tone and said, "Bai Yu, see the guest off!"

"Wait a moment."

"put!"

"Well……"

Lu Bei raised his finger and pointed at his face, then pointed at Zhu Qilan, and said dryly: "Cousin, your face doesn't look good, your hall is dark, and you have signs of being possessed."

"Your Highness, you...you..." Butler Yu raised his hand to cover his mouth, his face full of horror.

After being reminded by the two, Zhu Qilan realized that the demonic thoughts that she had just suppressed resurfaced with much greater force than before. On her fair face, several black auras swam back and forth, reaching a level that she could not suppress on her own.

How is it possible? We didn’t celebrate festivals so frequently before.

Zhu Qilan's expression was stiff, his heart was cold, and his complex mood was like that of a patient. He knew that he was not feeling well, but he did not expect to be so seriously ill.

She took a deep breath and looked at Lu Bei full of resentment. After a while, she said coldly: "Follow me to the quiet room, only half of it is open, right? Yes, I promise you, but you'd better not regret it!"

The cold air rushed up from the soles of his feet to his spine. Lu Bei shivered subconsciously and followed Zhu Qilan cautiously.

While curiously looking at the black mist of evil thoughts running around her body, he sorted out his thoughts for a long time, but he didn't understand the female brain circuit.

Maybe, probably...this is the so-called princess disease!

————

Midnight, quiet room.

The pearl lights up the dark room. Zhu Qilan is sitting cross-legged on the cloud bed, her clothes are soaked with sweat, and her black hair is stuck to her neck and cheeks. The delicate beauty's pale face is slightly flushed, which has a special sense of temptation.

The biting cold air dispersed, freezing the sweat-soaked clothes and filling the air, freezing Lu Bei behind into a lump of ice.

Click!

Lu Bei worked hard to break away from the ice, secretly saying that women in the world of immortality are troublesome. They are either poisonous or too cold, and there are not many normal people.

Except Bai Jin.

Although she is decisive in killing, silent when she can do it, and good at convincing people with reason, Lu Bei knows that she is a gentle and good swordsman.

"Cousin, what's going on with your demonic thoughts? They are so fierce and difficult to suppress. Is it caused by too many killings?" Lu Bei thought carefully. He didn't know much about Zhu Qilan. Based on the analysis when they first met, he came up with a murderous intention. Too heavy a conclusion.

It seems that this is the case for the Imperial Master and Grand Tutor. His murderous intent is so strong that it is difficult to suppress it, and he repeatedly jumps between being possessed and normal.

"Maybe, or maybe none of the people who deserved to be killed died."

Zhu Qilan stood up and glanced condescendingly at Lu Bei: "The ugly words are ahead. If you want to stay with me, you must be prepared to die at any time. I have many enemies, and everyone wants to kill me."

They want to kill you, that's their business, why are you so murderous at me?

"???"

A series of question marks floated across Lu Bei's forehead again, and he said speechlessly: "Cousin, stop being stunned and squat down, your face is dark again."

Zhu Qilan gritted his teeth for a while, sat cross-legged on the ground, with his back to Lu Bei, and calmed down to operate the technique silently.

The demonic thoughts that emerged this time were not strong. With Lu Bei behind to help absorb them, Zhu Qilan quickly returned to normal.

"Cousin, it's not a problem if this keeps going on. I'm just here to do odd jobs. If you say no one day and leave, where will I get my salary?"

Lu Bei frowned and said, "Let's analyze it, prescribe the right medicine, and try to get rid of your evil thoughts in the next two days."

"Shameless!!"

"I'll go, you old woman, I've tolerated you for a long time."

"Well said, so why am I not!"

Zhu Qilan sneered three times and walked towards the quiet room. He couldn't bear it anymore and asked Lu Bei to go to the underground palace of Changming Mansion for a showdown of life and death.

Picard, out soon
