Chapter 180: The Serious Immortal
The black cat stretched out its long tail and circled Shen Tingyu’s wrist.
It's like saying, you are hurt, I come to see you.
Shen Tingyu couldn’t help but sigh, this black cat is really smart.
Last time, as soon as the contract time for the mount talisman expired, the black cat disappeared from the palace.
I only contracted it once, but it could remember me and find me when I was not a mount.
Moreover, this black cat is obviously very clingy, and I don’t know who owns it.
Shen Tingyu squatted down and stroked the cat.
Unexpectedly, the tyrant also squatted next to her, with an expression like a large and aloof Maine Coon cat, even more clingy than this black cat, and Shen Tingyu's face heated up.
Xin Hongying imitated her and tried to tease the cat.
Shen Tingyu explained while petting the cat, “Your Majesty, the dragon energy I mentioned before is not what you understand.”
Xin Hongying's action of teasing the cat paused, and her slender fingers curled up slightly.
She had a serious expression and clear eyes. "That's the energy of destiny. Even if I want to borrow it, there are conditions. It's not something that can be borrowed with a simple kiss. In Yunzhou City, success is achieved through the right time, place, and people."
"If I only rely on dual cultivation to take away a person's luck, that would be what the evil immortal would do to the furnace cauldron."
"I am a legitimate immortal who has survived a thunderstorm, not an evil immortal."
According to what the fairy said, then he was just forcing others to do what they wanted.
Xin Hongying: “!!!”
A crack appeared on his calm and composed face, and he began to feel embarrassed and ashamed, but he did not regret it.
He silently lowered his eyes to look at the black cat lying on the ground, and glanced at the expression on her face with the corner of his eyes.
The black cat's head was being stroked, and its eyes were half-closed in happiness. Its comfortable little expression made it look a bit like a fairy.
A gleam flashed in Shen Tingyu’s eyes, and his chin raised slightly.
"If Your Majesty truly wants to help me recover my mana faster and heal my wounds, there are other ways..."
"I believe Your Majesty can do it."
Xin Hongying glanced at her with a frivolous glance, not with any hostility, but with a hint of curiosity.
"What method?"
Shen Tingyu said slowly: “Of course, it is to be close to virtuous ministers, stay away from villains, kill rebellious ministers, and be a wise ruler. Gather the righteous energy of the world. Such pure dragon energy can make my magic power recover faster.”
After saying this, Shen Tingyu admired himself a little. He was able to remain calm and talked about his own task.
"Originally, your Majesty's luck was stolen by a mysterious force and used by your younger brother. Although most of his luck has been recovered, he still has to be on guard."
younger brother
Xin Hongying's face darkened. From the moment he knew that his mother was trying to murder him and he remained indifferent, he was no longer his relative.
"I understand."
Although he knew that Xin Mingzhe himself was a fool since childhood and was not to be feared, Xin Hongying still did not take it lightly.
"I will be careful of him."
After Xin Hongying saw all the cruel truths, he was more discerning in the court and knew who was the greater threat to him better than Shen Tingyu.
However, he was eager to get rid of the poison before, and was later manipulated by his mother, and escaped death several times.
I just never had the chance to deal with him.
His good father!
Just as he was distracted, a flash of light that was very familiar to both he and Shen Tingyu flashed by.
The black cat lying on the ground was frightened by the sudden bright light. Before it even saw the shadow of the cloth, its fur stood on end.
He stretched out his claws and was about to scratch the Shen Tingyu doll.
Xin Hongying was quick-witted and quick-handed, and blocked her claw with his big hand.
There were several cat claw marks on the big bony hands.
Shen Tingyu was stunned for a while. Why didn't Xiao Qi remind her this time?
Xin Hongying looked at the body of her puppet and felt a little lost.
He prefers goddesses who are warm and can be hurt.
The white straps were still tied around her hands, just like her clothes. They were then sized to the right size and wrapped around her palms, becoming something like a decoration.
Shen Tingyu raised his hand and looked at it, feeling a little melancholy.
…
Time flies, and soon after the Queen Mother passed away, the first Mid-Autumn Festival arrived in the peaceful life.
The injuries of Bai Feng and Miss Yi Han gradually improved, but there were constant disturbances in the court, and the regent and the tyrant were at odds with each other.
Only Shen Tingyu's mission progress seemed to be frozen, with no change.
Shen Tingyu held his chin in his hand, feeling distressed, but still had no clue.
In the court, Xin Hongying acted ruthlessly, like a newborn wolf cub, stretching out his sharp claws overnight to challenge the strong and mature wolf king.
The young emperor, without the soul-eating insect, was controlled by his own emotions and was more clear-headed than ever before. He gradually won the loyalty of several neutral ministers.
Bai Feng and Miss Yi Han wanted to meet Xin Mingzhe at the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner before leaving Beijing.
This was his half-brother whom they had never met and knew nothing about.
Perhaps this is their only chance to meet.
Although Xin Mingzhe lived a peaceful life, he was frightened day and night and never slept well for a single day.
Although he was hiding in his mansion, news from outside would reach his ears every day.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather was not good and it began to drizzle, but the rain was not heavy.
The news from the court drifted into his low-key and secluded room along with the slanting wind and drizzle.
"What!
Suddenly there was a loud explosion, and Xin Mingzhe suddenly became panicked and paced back and forth in the room.
"He lost, he lost!"
The "he" that Xin Mingzhe kept muttering was referring to the Regent!
He had just heard that the Regent had been imprisoned in the Dali Temple on charges of corruption, suspected cheating in the imperial examinations, and forming a clique to rebel.
The evidence is irrefutable and the Regent is defeated!
Many of his accomplices were imprisoned with him, along with their families, and were awaiting execution in the autumn.
The slanting wind and drizzle seemed to carry a faint smell of blood, which constantly stimulated Xin Mingzhe, like a warning of danger.
His heart was restless and uneasy...
"The rain is coming in, close the door quickly."
The woman quickly closed the door and walked over to him.
"If my brother knew that the Prince Regent appeared in the palace that day, would he..."
The woman's soft, boneless hand touched his shoulder, and she looked at him with disdain.
"How could that be!"
If he died, her good days would be over. Although she was just a substitute, her life was much better than when she was in the brothel.
"Don't be afraid, Your Highness. Those who should be arrested have already been arrested and are in jail. You won't be implicated. It's okay..."
Xin Mingzhe's eyes were blurred with tears. He pushed her hand away and roared angrily.
"What do you know? You know nothing."
"roll!"
At this time, news from the palace slowly arrived.
Eunuch: "Your Majesty, today is Mid-Autumn Festival. His Majesty invites you to the palace."
Xin Mingzhe was already feeling guilty and scared, and when he suddenly heard the news, he was so scared that his soul flew away and he stood there in a daze.
It’s over!
This was the Hongmen Banquet set up specifically for him by his brother.
