Even though Fu Sheng didn't like Lan Huaiyu, he was still stunned by the picture of the handsome man bathing.

Although Lan Huaiyu noticed Fu Sheng's gaze, as a man, he didn't think too much about it.

He seemed to be in a very leisurely mood, and negotiated with Fu Sheng in a rare friendly manner.

"After you come back to the Lan family with me, I will ask my father to give you an immortal-level marrow cleansing pill, allowing you to break free from your mortal flesh and bones and practice cultivation. At the same time, we will give you the best resources of the Lan family so that you can advance to the Nascent Soul stage within three months."

"But there is no free lunch in the world. Our Lan family has done our best to train you, and we hope you can give something in return. After you advance to the Nascent Soul stage, you need to voluntarily hand over the contracted strange fire to me. What do you think of this deal?"

Lan Huaiyu's big promise directly woke up the infatuated Fu Sheng.

If Fu Sheng had not heard Yan Su's words before, she would have really believed Lan Huaiyu's words.

What's the point of trying your best to train her? It's obvious that one needs to be at least at the Nascent Soul stage to transfer the strange fire. Do you really think she's a naive person?

Fu Sheng sneered in his heart, but on the surface he looked flattered: "Really?"

"Of course." Lan Huaiyu said.

"But it took Young Master Lan, a genius, 18 years to reach the Nascent Soul stage. How could an ordinary person like me reach the Nascent Soul stage in just three months?" Fu Sheng pretended to be dumbfounded. "Could it be that the Lan family didn't do their best to train Young Master Lan?"

Let her reach the Nascent Soul stage in three months. This really doesn't care about her life or death.

No need to think about it, they are all using elixirs or forbidden techniques to improve, this is pure forcing things to happen.

Fu Sheng's words made Lan Huaiyu's face darken. He was obviously a little unhappy: "Our Lan family naturally has its own way. I am not suitable, but you may not be unsuitable."

He seemed to see that Fu Sheng was being sarcastic, and said, "You are just an ordinary person now. The strange fire cannot play its role on you. Why do you want to be guilty of possessing a treasure when you are innocent? If you pass the strange fire to me, you will not only be able to achieve the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul Stage, but also get the support of our Lan family. In the future, in the world of immortal cultivation, with our Lan family as your support, who will dare to mess with you?"

Lan Huaiyu's rhetoric is good, but Fu Sheng really knows Lan Huaiyu's character. He is selfish and will do anything to achieve his goal. Except for being good to his family and relatives, he is ruthless and kills everyone else.

If she really passed the strange fire to him, she would probably end up being murdered to silence her.

Although Fu Sheng knew it in her heart, she certainly couldn't say it out loud. She was now under the control of Lan Huaiyu and of course couldn't anger him.

"What Master Lan said makes some sense." Fu Sheng had a thoughtful look on his face, as if he was really weighing the pros and cons.

Lan Huaiyu smiled when he saw this, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "Young Master, you can think about it again on the way, but when we get to the Lan family, you must give me a promise."

After saying this, Lan Huaiyu seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "By the way, I still don't know your name?"

"Jia Ming." Fu Sheng said.

"Jia Ming?" Lan Huaiyu chewed on this name, always feeling that it was a bit strange. He narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Master Jia's brother's surname is Su, but Master Jia's surname is Jia?"

Fu Sheng's heart skipped a beat, but he said obediently, "My adopted brother. It's obvious that my brother is so talented. If I were his biological brother, how could I be an ordinary person without any cultivation?"

Lan Huaiyu looked at Fu Sheng's expression and seeing that she remained calm, he began to believe it a little.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and the shopkeeper's voice rang out from outside: "My two lords, the meal is ready."

"Come in." Lan Huaiyu ordered.

The shopkeeper pushed the door open and walked in, followed by several waiters who brought dishes one by one and soon set the table.

"Where is the dish called Red Beads on Bamboo String? Why can't I see it?" Lan Huaiyu asked.

"Ah... it's here."

The shopkeeper winked, and the last waiter who came in immediately brought the tray.

There were two candied haws on the plate.

When Lan Huaiyu saw the candied haws, he couldn't help biting his back teeth, and the voice almost came out from between his teeth: "Is this the bamboo string of red beads?"

The shopkeeper was obviously a little unsure. He raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said, "Yes, this is our local specialty, red beads on a bamboo string..."

Fu Sheng naturally couldn't let the shopkeeper take the blame for the incident, so she hurried to smooth things over: "Haha, yes, this is bamboo string of red beads, and people in Wuxi City call it candied haws. I ate it once in Wuxi City, and it was so delicious, so I've been thinking about it ever since I moved to this city."

"You are a grown man, why are you eating snacks that children eat?" Lan Huaiyu looked at her with disdain, "I don't eat this."

Fu Sheng actually didn’t like candied haws that much, but in order to hide the filling, he picked up one and put it in his mouth.

However, the moment he entered the entrance, Fu Sheng's face almost twisted.

woc...

Isn’t this too sour?!

The taste of the candied haws here is completely different from the modern candied haws. It is more like sour haws. After taking a bite, Fu Sheng felt that his teeth were going to fall out from the sourness.

Lan Huaiyu saw that Fu Sheng had a strange expression on his face, and couldn't help but frown and asked, "Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious..." In order to maintain the lie, Fu Sheng had to control his expression. Tears welled up in his eyes, but he still smiled and said, "This is simply the most delicious food in the world."

Lan Huaiyu despised Jia Ming for being so interested in this kind of food, but he knew that if he wanted to obtain the strange fire, he had to get along well with Jia Ming, so he said, "In that case, I'll give this one to Brother Jia."

"?!!"

Fu Sheng almost couldn't help but spit it out.

"What's wrong, Brother Jia doesn't want to eat?" Lan Huaiyu's voice seemed a little suspicious, "Hasn't Brother Jia been thinking about it for a long time?"

Fu Sheng looked at Lan Huaiyu, and for a moment, she even wondered if Lan Huaiyu was deliberately making fun of her.

She and Lan Huaiyu really don't get along!

"Of course I'm willing to eat it." Fu Sheng said weakly. She bit off the last bite of the candied haws in her hand, then picked up another string with an expressionless face, "I'll eat it right away."

After eating two strings of candied haws, Fu Sheng felt sour in his stomach that he had no appetite for anything else.

Looking at the table full of delicious food that hadn't been touched yet, Fu Sheng felt like crying but had no tears.

She even wanted to blackmail Lan Huaiyu, so she asked the shopkeeper to bring out the best and most expensive dishes.

As a result, I didn’t even eat a single bite of the food but was full after eating two strings of candied haws.

The last dishes on the table were basically eaten by Lan Huaiyu alone. Fu Sheng didn't want to suffer a loss, so he forced himself to eat a few bites.

After the two finished their meal, they simply washed up and it was time for nightfall.
