463 Immortal Meat (Part 2)

They scooped the thing up. As soon as it came out of the water, they smelled the strong fragrance of the thing in their hands. Immediately, Su Yanyu swallowed his saliva.

Mu Cong also swallowed his saliva, but he was still relatively clear-headed and said, “Lord Su, this thing is evil. You can’t eat it.”

How sinful would it be if he took a bite? Mu Cong smelled the strong fragrance and felt his mouth water. If Su Yanyu came down alone, he would have definitely been tempted to take a bite.

Su Yanyu gulped. “Pull, pull us up.”

!!

He held it carefully, his eyes fixed on it. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, as if a voice was clamoring inside his head. “Eat it. Just one bite. It’s fine.”

Mu Cong gulped and reminded him. “Lord Su, you can’t eat this…”

He swallowed his saliva. Su Yanyu couldn’t take his eyes off it. When he spoke, saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth. “I know, but it smells so f*cking good. What is this? It feels soft and smooth to the touch. It looks like a piece of meat, but what meat smells so good? It’s like immortal meat.”

Mu Cong also kept swallowing his saliva. He could no longer smell the fragrance of the vegetarian dishes in Suzhai Pavilion, but he could still smell the fragrance of this thing. It was like a piece of soft and fragrant pork.

If not for the fact that he still had some rationality left, he and Su Yanyu would have taken big bites off it already.

When Mu Cong and Su Yanyu were pulled out of the well, a strong fragrance wafted out.

“Gulp…”

Everyone present there drooled. Their eyes were fixed on the water-like thing.

Mu Cong and Su Yanyu’s hands were trembling. What was this thing? They thought that it would turn into black water and be filled with a stench when it reached the ground, but it didn’t. Instead, they felt that it was getting more and more fragrant.

Even Wei Shilai couldn’t help but gulp. “Miss Liu, this…”

Almost all of them were swallowing their saliva, but not Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan. He looked disgusted while she was calm.

Liu Sanniang said serenely, “This is Hui Zhen’s secret. I don’t know what it is exactly. It’s probably immortal meat. While this thing is in the well, the water will be filled with spiritual qi and vegetables grown with this water will be fragrant.”

Liu Sanniang took a piece of cloth and gestured for Mu Cong to put the thing on it. Mu Cong looked extremely reluctant. Neither he nor Su Yanyu wanted to let go, but they still put the fragrant thing on it.

After the thing was wrapped in the cloth, the fragrance was gone.

Liu Sanniang said, “Let’s go.”

Everyone swallowed their saliva. This was Immortal meat. Would they be able to live forever after eating it? Their eyes were filled with greed.

Su Yanyu subconsciously raised his hand, preparing to inhale the lingering fragrance on his hand. After all, he had touched the immortal meat with his hand earlier. However, when his hand came close to his nose, he immediately retched.

Mu Cong almost did the same thing as Su Yanyu. The two of them bent over and retched non-stop.

Everyone came back to their senses and sighed in sympathy. It seemed that this thing was not something good. Otherwise, Mu Cong and Su Yanyu would not be acting like this.

Liu Sanniang looked at Mu Cong and Su Yanyu. “Wash your hands.”

In this world, there was no such thing as immortal meat. It was just endless sin.

The sky was already dark. Su Yanyu and Mu Cong could not take it anymore, so they did not follow the group to Xuanyi Department. Instead, they went back to rest.

Liu Sanniang carried the cloth wrapped with immortal meat and followed Wei Shi back to the government office.

When they arrived at Xuanyi Department, Wei Shilai could not help but ask. “Miss Liu, how should we deal with this?”

Wei Shilai was a little worried. This tempting thing could make people greedy and selfish. If it wasn’t dealt with, he would feel uneasy.

Knowing Wei Shilai’s worries, Liu Sanniang said, “Sir, don’t worry. We’ll find out when we see Hui Zhen.”

Wei Shilai was relieved. Hui Zhen had already been locked up by him in the Xuanyi Department. If this thing belonged to Huizhen, she would have all the answers.

However, when they entered the office and were about to interrogate Hui Zhen, his subordinates reported with their heads lowered. “Sir, Master Hui Zhen is no longer in the Xuanyi Department…”

They lowered their heads, not having the courage to look up.

Wei Shilai’s heart skipped a beat. “What’s going on? Didn’t I tell you to keep an eye on her?”

The subordinate answered. “Two hours ago, His Highness the Crown Prince came. He took Master Hui Zhen away and we couldn’t stop him. The Crown Prince also left a message for Miss Liu, asking her to go and see him.”

Yu Shilai gritted his teeth angrily.

The Crown Prince was the future emperor. It was easy for him to take someone away. If he did not give them a chance to interrogate Hui Zhen, the case would remain unresolved.

Hui Zhen had already been taken away, leaving behind only the Daoist nuns of Suzhai Pavilion.

Wei Shilai felt a little guilty. “Miss Liu, what should we do now?”

Liu Sanniang said calmly, “I’ll go to see the crown prince tomorrow.”

Wei Shilai frowned. “Miss Liu.”

It was obvious that the crown prince was up to no good. Wasn’t Liu Sanniang putting herself in danger by going there?

However, when he saw the calm look on Liu Sanniang’s face, he knew that she had made up her mind and he could not stop her.

Wei Shilai sighed. “Miss Liu, be careful.”

After Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan left the Xuanyi Department, Wei Shilai looked at her back and sighed. He did not know where Liu Sanniang got her courage to go against the crown prince.

“Lord, that thing has been brought back from Suzhai Pavilion. How can we let her take it away? This won’t do.”

Seeing Liu Sanniang walk away with the thing, someone lowered his eyes and said.

Wei Shilai glanced at him and said coldly, “I don’t care who you work for. Since you are not loyal to me, you will get the punishment you deserve. You’ll be flogged 100 times.”

Since he was appointed by the emperor to be in charge of the Xuanyi Department, he should have his own rights.

The subordinates were stunned. “Sir, this is not right…”

How could Wei Shilai punish them so casually?

Everyone was stunned.

Wei Shilai said even more firmly, “Not right? Do you want to go with me to the palace to ask the emperor if it’s right or not?”

The subordinates lowered their heads. Of course, they did not dare to do so. The crown prince was not the emperor yet.

If the emperor found out they were spies whom the crown prince planted, the emperor wouldn’t let them off.
