Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 396: A Photo Opportunity. (Third Update!)

As soon as he finished speaking, Manager Pang outside the door froze, unsure whether to leave or stay. In his anxiety, he could only bite the bullet and say, "Your subordinate has come to deliver the accounts for this auction."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Que knew that someone had come from outside. Just as he was about to stop, Fairy Yanluo suddenly turned her head and kissed his lips tightly.

Seeing that Fairy Yanluo seemed to have no intention of ending the conversation, Zheng Que was taken aback. Wasn't Fairy Yanluo worried about being discovered by outsiders?
Or is there a special formation here that allows people inside to hear sounds from outside, but those outside cannot hear sounds from inside?

Only the voice of Fairy Yanluo, a Core Formation stage cultivator, could be heard normally.
Thinking of this, Zheng Que immediately hugged Fairy Yanluo tightly and continued to cultivate the [Yin Yang Harmony Secret Record].

"Ah...um..."

Panting, Fairy Yanluo gave instructions in broken voices to those outside to report through the door.

The voice outside the door dared not disobey and immediately stammered, "Reporting, reporting to senior, the total amount of spirit stones sold at this auction is..."

"After deducting the following expenses and costs..."

"...The details of the targets are..."

"Among the following items, some people revealed their identities on the spot and tried to lower the price..."

"May I ask, senior, before the next auction, could I borrow your reputation to give a warning, so that similar situations don't occur and affect revenue..."

For a moment, outside the door, Steward Pang respectfully and mechanically reported the accounts of the auction, while inside, a scene of confusion and infatuation unfolded.

Before long, Manager Pang, with his excellent professional skills, completed the report concisely and to the point.

"Senior Yanluo, I still have matters to attend to and must take my leave..."

Fairy Yanluo didn't reply, but simply clapped her hands lightly towards the door before putting her arm around Zheng Que's neck and continuing her actions.

The wind howled in the tightly closed room, and the curtains fluttered in the wind.

The palace lanterns, covered with green gauze, swayed violently, stretching the shadows of people into hundreds of shapes.

The night passed in the blink of an eye, and the next morning, Zheng Que opened his eyes to find himself lying on a soft and luxurious bed, with a fragrance that smelled like orchids and musk at his nose.

Not far away, Fairy Yanluo changed into a thin persimmon-colored crepe gauze short jacket with narrow sleeves and a gold-embroidered skirt. A moon-white shawl with hidden flowers was draped over her snow-white arms. She sat in front of her dressing table, looking quite content as she drew her eyebrows and applied makeup.

Noticing that Zheng Que was awake, she nodded in satisfaction, took out a jade hairpin from the box, inserted it into her hair, and while looking at herself in the mirror, said, "Not bad!"

"You are much more sensible than Du Anyong."

"However, your current cultivation level is really a bit too low."

"The next six major competitions will begin next year."

"You'd better raise your cultivation to the Core Formation stage before then."

"The imperial court's examination for immortality this time is indeed an opportunity."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Que shook his head. He hadn't entered the underworld last night, which meant that his cultivation with Fairy Yanluo hadn't absorbed any yin energy.

However, Fairy Yanluo's cultivation level was far higher than his. Last night, when he was cultivating towards the end, he seemed to have been strangled unconscious by her...

Thinking of this, Zheng Que stretched his aching body, immediately sat up from the bed, and quickly dressed the clothes scattered all over the floor.

Seeing that Fairy Yanluo was dressed neatly and showed no intention of continuing to cultivate with him, Zheng Que immediately bowed to her and said, "Senior, could you please enlighten me on the matter of the Six Sects Grand Competition?"

Fairy Yanluo fiddled with the hairpins and rings in the box, occasionally picking one up to compare it in front of the mirror. Upon hearing this, she gave a playful smile and said lazily, "If I were to tell you something so important now, how would you come to me again next time?"

"The imperial examination for immortality will begin soon." "Come to Crane Cry Tower after you have completed the examination."

"When the time comes, as long as your cultivation level is high enough, I will tell you whatever you want to know!"

next time?

Zheng Que frowned immediately. This Fairy Yanluo really didn't trust him at all!

Why won't I contact them again next time?
He needs to go back and take care of some things first. Once he's done, he'd like to come see the other person again tomorrow, okay?
Just then, Fairy Yanluo put down the hairpin in her hand, flipped her hand and picked up a jade slip, threw it in front of Zheng Que, and then said, "By the way, this is a photo of you and me this time."

"I have taken more than a dozen similar photos."

"If you do not come to me after this immortal examination, then I will send these photos directly to the six major sects and Daoist Qu."

"I'll make sure that wherever you go from now on, you'll be utterly disgraced and lose all face!"

"Whether you comply or not, it's up to you to decide!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Fairy Yanluo leisurely picked up a jade comb and gently combed her ink-black hair in front of the bronze mirror, her expression extremely pleasant.

what?
Zheng Que was stunned. The photo of him and Fairy Yanluo... it seemed like the other party was threatening him?

But is this threatening tactic somehow helping him show off?
Thinking of this, Zheng Que picked up the jade slip and said, pretending to be very serious, "Senior, why bother? I will come to seek your guidance again after the immortal examination is over!"

"If Senior has no further instructions, this junior will take his leave now!"

With that, he gripped the jade slip tightly, turned, and left.

As soon as Zheng Que left, Fairy Yanluo's face immediately showed a look of intoxication. This disciple of Daoist Qu was truly a delightful experience!
And it's free!

Just then, she suddenly realized something and took out a jade communication talisman from her storage bag.

At this moment, the talisman was glowing with a light that seemed to be breathing, clearly indicating that someone was transmitting a message to her.

Fairy Yanluo immediately activated the talisman with her magic power. The next moment, a familiar voice came from the talisman: "Deacon Yanluo, we have received news that Daoist Qu will be coming to our Xuanyuan Pavilion in a few days."

"I wonder if Steward Yanluo wishes to return to the pavilion?"

Taoist Qu?
Fairy Yanluo was slightly taken aback, and immediately asked, "Will Daoist Qu bring disciples?"

The voice in the [transmission talisman] immediately replied: "Master Qu now has two disciples, one is Wei Dingyuan, and the other is Chu Shaowei."

"He is currently visiting the Heavenly Artifact Sect with his two disciples."

"When you come to my Xuanyuan Pavilion in a few days, you should bring it with you."

Wei Dingyuan and Chu Shaowei?
Fairy Yanluo was stunned. The one she had just slept with was named "Zheng Que"...

Without thinking twice, she hurriedly asked, "Does Master Qu only have these two disciples?"

The voice from the [Transmission Talisman] sounded again: "Yes!"

"According to the information from the Heavenly Artifact Sect, Daoist Qu currently only has these two disciples."

"That's what Qu Daoren's two disciples said too."

"This is great news!"
