Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

Hearing the sound of Jiang Yunfei waking up, Zhou Yiqiao looked startled and narrowed his eyes.

Princess Mern sensed Zhou Yiqiao's unfamiliar aura behind the screen, and her expression suddenly changed.

She sat up in panic, crossed her arms to protect her chest, looked at Zhou Yiqiao behind the screen with vigilance in her eyes, and asked softly.

"Your Excellency...Who are you, and why did you break into my room?"

"Your Highness, this seems to be Zhou's room."

Zhou Yiqiao walked out from behind the screen and looked at the Mermaid Princess with a kind smile on his face.

"you......"

Jiang Yunfei's face was pale. When he saw the strange man Zhou Yiqiao, he couldn't help but shrink to the other side of the bed.

"I am entrusted by Senior Luo to temporarily protect the safety of the princess."

Zhou Yiqiao used the words he had prepared long ago.

Jiang Yunfei's expression relaxed slightly after hearing this, and then asked again.

"Since Uncle Luo sent you here, where is he now?"

Zhou Yiqiao shook his head.

"Senior, since you can entrust Her Royal Highness to a human monk like me, you will naturally be destined to die."

Jiang Yunfei's face turned pale when he heard this.

She murmured with trembling lips, tears sliding down her cheeks.

"No...no way, if Uncle Luo..."

Seeing Jiang Yunfei crying, Zhou Yiqiao frowned imperceptibly.

He was willing to take over this mess because the benefits offered by the other party were attractive enough, but he did not want to become the butler of the Mermaid Princess.

"Your Highness Princess, Senior Luo has indeed left. If you trust Zhou, why not go back to the master with Zhou to recuperate for a while and then discuss the matter further?"

"Zhou is a disciple of the Netherworld Demon Sect. As long as Your Highness and Zhou return to the sect, even the Shark clan will not dare to disturb them without permission. What do you think, Princess?"

Jiang Yunfei raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Yiqiao, his eyes were red and swollen, and there were crystal clear tears on his face. He looked particularly lovable.

Zhou Yiqiao saw that she was silent, and the knot between his eyebrows became tighter and tighter.

"Of course, Zhou respects His Highness's choice. If His Highness doesn't want to, he can leave on his own."

Since he had not made a contract with the Nascent Soul monster, and because he had a temper that could not walk away when he saw a woman, he patiently tried to persuade her, which was the end of his kindness and righteousness.

If this woman is still stubborn, Zhou Yiqiao can leave her here to fend for herself without any psychological burden.

Seeing his resolute attitude, Jiang Yunfei, who was now helpless, finally chose to compromise.

"I will follow you back to the sect."

Jiang Yunfei wiped away the tears on his face and forced a smile.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Zhou, for your help. I am deeply grateful."

Zhou Yiqiao pretended not to see the beauty's overtures, but still said with a straight face.

"Although Zhou was ordered by Senior Luo, His Highness is now attached to me. I still hope that you will obey my arrangements in the future."

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Zhou, I will obey your arrangements in everything."

Jiang Yunfei nodded and agreed obediently.

"very good."

Zhou Yiqiao's eyebrows finally relaxed.

"Zhou came to Tianming Sea Area this time because of important matters, so he needs to stay here for a while."

"If Your Highness is worried that you will be exposed, you can return to Zhou's cave first."

"no, I'm fine."

Jiang Yunfei hurriedly waved his hand and refused.

She was only in the late stage of Jindan cultivation, and even though she had the blessing of the shark bloodline, she was still not as safe as staying by Zhou Yiqiao's side.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, please relax. I will take care of myself. I will not leave this room without your permission during this period."

Jiang Yunfei blinked his big wet eyes and looked at Zhou Yiqiao seriously.

"This is the best."

Zhou Yiqiao nodded.

"Your Highness, please rest here. I'm right behind the screen. If you need anything, you can call me at any time."

After saying this, Zhou Yiqiao walked straight behind the screen.

He sat cross-legged on the futon, took out the Dongji Immortality Materia Medica, and studied it with relish.

Now that Jiang Yunfei has woken up and is in the same space as him, Zhou Yiqiao will not be so arrogant as to continue taking the God-Cleaning Soul-Cleaning Pill.

Silent all night.

In the early morning, Zhou Yiqiao put the Immortality Materia Medica back into his storage bag and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

It was only a night of enlightenment, but he still vaguely touched a hint of the Immortal Demon Lord's experience in alchemy.

"It's an unexpected surprise."

Zhou Yiqiao stood up and went out to stretch his muscles. When he returned to the guest room, he met the Mermaid Princess in white.

"Good morning, Fellow Daoist Zhou."

The Mermaid Princess grinned at him, and the silver bells on her earlobes jingled.

"Good morning, Your Highness Princess. Zhou heard that an auction is about to be held on a nearby floating island. I wonder if the princess would be willing to go with her?"

Thinking that the only person the woman in front of him could rely on now was himself, Zhou Yiqiao still asked symbolically.

Jiang Yunfei was stunned when he heard this, and instantly understood Zhou Yiqiao's thoughts.

"Thank you very much for the invitation, Fellow Daoist Zhou. I am not feeling well, so I will not accompany you."

She bit her lip lightly, and after hesitating for a while, she finally made a decision.

After getting the answer he wanted, Zhou Yiqiao didn't bother to pay attention to Jiang Yunfei, turned around and walked towards the stairs.

After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and pretended to throw a talisman to Jiang Yunfei.

"If anything happens to the princess, you can activate this talisman and Zhou will come back as soon as possible."

Although he said so, only he knew that if Jiang Yunfei really activated this talisman, Zhou Yiqiao would definitely run faster than anyone else.

But Jiang Yunfei didn't know Zhou Yiqiao's true thoughts. She took the talisman and placed it close to her body, then expressed her heartfelt thanks.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist Zhou, for taking the trouble."

Zhou Yiqiao waved his hand, and without hesitation, used his escape technique to escape to a nearby floating island where an auction was about to be held.

Jiang Yunfei looked at Zhou Yiqiao's leaving figure, his eyes flashing with complicated and indistinguishable light. After a long time, he sighed and closed the door.

......

The auction that Zhou Yiqiao will participate in during this trip is a monthly exchange meeting held by the monks in the Tianming Sea Territory, with the purpose of better exchanging the resources they have obtained from the Tianming Sea Territory.

The auction was held on the largest floating island among the many floating islands. By the time Zhou Yiqiao arrived, the huge open-air square was already filled with people.

He showed off his early Nascent Soul cultivation and easily obtained a front position in the auction.

Zhou Yiqiao didn't know anyone he knew well, so he sat alone in his seat, closing his eyes and concentrating.

After a long time, an old man with a complexion as red as a date and a strong body walked into the auction stage in the center of the square and said in a loud voice.

"Everyone, I am the person in charge of today's auction, Li Fu, stop talking nonsense, the auction will start now!"
