Eternal Life as False Emperor

Chapter 398: Chapter 339: I’m Afraid Godfather Will Misunderstand (2)

"Five hundred Spirit Stones should be enough for me to attempt a breakthrough."

"From now on, if there’s anything you need, you can come to me."

Liu Yufei’s eyes flashed sharply, and she quickly responded, "Thank you, Master!"

This was exactly what she had been waiting for.

Even though Lii Huan Zhenren was her master, now that their Hehuan Sect had fully integrated into the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty, their relationship would undoubtedly grow more distant in the future.

She did this to draw herself closer to her master-disciple relationship.

Besides the master-disciple bond, there was also an interest-based relationship.

Only in this way could she secure a place within the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty.

She privately split half of the Spirit Stones in her storage bag, handing the other half to Lii Huan Zhenren. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

Possessing so many Spirit Stones, Lii Huan Zhenren’s mind was also in turmoil, secretly inspecting its contents.

"Junior Sister~ Junior Sister!"

At that moment, Lin Fengg’s voice called from behind Liu Yufei.

Liu Yufei’s expression remained calm, slightly turning aside.

Gazing at Liu Yufei’s jade-like white earlobes and her lavish and elegant palace attire, Lin Fengg suddenly felt a flame igniting in his heart.

"What’s the matter, Senior Brother?"

"You, are you alright?"

"Don’t worry, Senior Brother. This is the Imperial Palace. How could anything happen to me?"

"That’s good. Do you remember the agreement we made before entering the palace, that we should..."

Liu Yufei frowned, just about to say something when suddenly someone called her name.

"Princess Yufei~" ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

"I’m here!"

Liu Yufei quickly stood up, and Lin Fengg behind her subconsciously withdrew his hand as he looked up.

He saw a consort standing next to Noble Consort Cui looking at Liu Yufei, eyes full of interest.

If he remembered correctly, this consort seemed to be... Consort Chan?

Yue Chan, also somewhat mischievous, looked at Liu Yufei as if seeing her younger self.

She then fumbled at her waist, pulling out a Spirit Beast Bag, and handed it to a nearby maid.

The maid respectfully accepted it and walked down quickly.

"In this storage bag is the ’Enchanting Incense Gu’ nurtured by me. While emitting floral fragrance, it can also incapacitate an opponent, making it a small means of self-defense."

"This item is a gift for you, a meeting gift from me."

Feeling somewhat flattered, Liu Yufei received the Spirit Beast Bag from the maid’s hands, joyfully saying, "Thank you, Consort Chan!"

"Looking at you, I am reminded of my younger self. Youth is wonderful~!"

"Consort Chan, you are also very youthful. I feel somewhat inferior to you~"

"Hehe... Your words are so sweet, no wonder Your Majesty likes you so much."

"Consort Chan, I’m also interested in raising Gu insects. I wonder if I could have some time to consult you in your palace?"

"Of course, you can. I’ve always been a bit bored in the palace anyway~"

With this exchange, Liu Yufei intentionally catered to it, smiling and friendly, in harmony.

At this moment, Zhuang Yuheng, standing beside Yue Chan, also spoke up.

"Since both elder sisters are giving gifts, I should naturally show some gesture."

Adorned in a Daoist robe, Zhuang Yuheng spoke coolly, characteristically aloof.

With a pat on her storage bag, a palm-sized purple wooden box appeared in her hand and was handed to a maid beside her.

"Contained in this box are five Tier One High-level Talismans I’ve drawn, forming a set. Take it as a meeting gift for you."

Liu Yufei’s expression turned solemn. After respectfully receiving it, she quickly said, "Thank you, Consort Yu."

"Mm."

Zhuang Yuheng gave a faint nod and said no more.

At this point, Dongyun Jie laughed and said, "My sister and I aren’t proficient in the Hundred Skills of Cultivation, so for a meeting gift... let’s see, this will do."

She then took a jade pendant from her waist, giving it to a maid beside her.

"This item was refined during my leisure time and has an automatic guardian effect. Please don’t lose it."

"Wait~!"

Consort Yuu stopped the maid, thought for a moment, and also handed over a pearl to the maid.

"Here, give this to Princess Yufei as well."

Consort Yuu did not explain the pearl’s function, but seeing her reluctant expression, it was presumably very precious.

By now, Liu Yufei’s nerves were somewhat numb. All she could do was respectfully say, "Thank you, Consort Jie, and Consort Yuu!"

On the high platform, Consort Qing also took out a green jade bottle from her bosom.

Her cultivation time was short, yet due to her ’Hundred Flowers Body,’ her Cultivation speed was considered fast among many concubines.

And due to her Constitution, she also had quite a talent in Alchemy Skill.

Zheng Yi had taken numerous Alchemy Classics from the Zheng Family Treasure Vault and, after several years of study, already gained notable mastery.

He was one of the few alchemists in the entire Imperial Palace.

"In this bottle is the Hundred Flowers Pill refined by me, which has healing effects. Consider it a meeting gift from me."

"Thank you, Consort Qing!"

Finally, it was Consort Yinn’s turn.

She hailed from Nanzhao Country and had yielded to Zheng Yi due to her nation’s affairs and possessing a Fire Attribute Spirit Root.

Over the years, she had grown accustomed to residing in the Imperial Palace.

And towards Zheng Yi, she harbored little resentment.

Unfortunately, her own aptitude was average, and due to her lazy disposition, she didn’t put much thought into cultivation.

Over the years, she merely reached the third-layer Qi Cultivation.

Yet even so, Zheng Yi bestowed upon her many good things.

She glanced at the gifts from the other consorts, especially those from Noble Consort Cui and Consort Chan, her eyes flickering.

With a pat on her storage bag, a small bronze bell appeared in her hand.

Zheng Yi, who had been merely observing, saw Consort Yinn take out the item and suddenly spoke:

"Consort Yinn, can you truly part with that?"

Consort Yinn was taken aback, then replied, "Several sisters have given meeting gifts; how could I sit by idly?"

"Besides, I’m not fond of combat by nature. This item is truly wasted in my hands, better to gift it to Princess Yufei."

Seeing the item, Zheng Yi also shook his head and said, "As you wish."

The bell in Consort Yinn’s hand was called the Soul-Catching Bell, a top-grade magical artifact, and an exquisite one among top-grade magical artifacts.

Besides controlling people, it also had sonic attack effects, making it extremely rare.

It wasn’t that Zheng Yi couldn’t part with it because top-grade magical artifacts were precious, but because Consort Yinn only had this one top-grade magical artifact!

Due to her background and nature, Zheng Yi didn’t visit her palace often.

Thus, her rewards weren’t many.

Other consorts had three to five top-grade magical artifacts each.

But for her, she only had this one.

Now, to prove a point, she gifted it to Liu Yufei, which was quite impulsive.

Liu Yufei, unaware of the intricate details, was left speechless upon sensing it was another top-grade magical artifact.

"T-thank you, Consort Yinn!"

"I am endlessly grateful..."

"Few visit my Lingyin Palace. If you’re interested, you may come here often."

"I shall obey!"

After Consort Yinn gave her gift, none of the cultivators in the hall could remain calm.

Whether it was the Four Ghosts of Shannan, Shi Xianggui, or the people from the Hehuan Sect, they all stood dazed, reflecting on the grand gestures of Your Majesty and the many consorts.

Top-grade magical artifacts, spiritual qi, talismans, elixirs, and even gu insects...

Such precious cultivation items were given out as if they cost nothing.

This...

It truly felt like a dream!

Especially the Four Ghosts of Shannan, whose eyes were filled with greed!

Zheng Yi noticed this, uttered a few more conciliatory words, and then announced the end of the night banquet.

After some thought, he gave Jie’er and Yu’er a look, and with the women surrounding him, gracefully returned to the harem.

The many loose cultivators in the hall also bid farewell.

The Four Ghosts of Shannan left first, followed by Shi Xianggui and others who greeted Lii Huan Zhenren and left.

The people of the Hehuan Sect gathered around Liu Yufei.

"Yufei, you will reside in the Imperial Palace, seize this opportunity well."

"Yes, Master."

"We will temporarily reside in Sanqing Palace; contact us anytime if needed."

"Farewell, Master!"

Lii Huan Zhenren left at a leisurely pace, followed closely by several disciples who glanced at Liu Yufei before departing.

But Lin Fengg deliberately lagged behind a few steps, clearly wanting to speak further with Liu Yufei.

He stepped forward, attempting to hold Liu Yufei’s small hand.

"Yufei~!"

Liu Yufei instinctively stepped back, her brows slightly furrowing, she said: "Senior brother, from now on just call me by name or junior sister."

"In the Imperial Palace, pulling and tugging is improper, I’m afraid godfather will misunderstand."

Having said that, she turned and left, paying no mind to Lin Fengg’s despairing expression.

For a long time, a mournful scream echoed.

"No...!!!"
