Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement-Chapter 211 - 151: Good News, Good News
Inside the tavern.
Jiang Feng and Uncle Huo reminisced about their days as Little Prison Guards on the first floor, when work was hectic every day, delivering meals to thirty prison cells, and often helping clean up too.
But life was relatively calm and stable back then.
The Fortune Points they could earn weren’t as many as on the third floor, but it was much safer.
Now, after moving to the third floor and becoming a Little Prison Chief, Jiang Feng’s Fortune Points skyrocketed and his strength grew ever stronger, yet danger also multiplied. He couldn’t help but wonder: as a Longevity Practitioner, is it right to keep placing himself in peril for so long?
But in this Immortal Martial Realm, where the weak are prey to the strong—
Without mighty strength, how could one even speak of immortality?
"Uncle Huo, here’s to you."
Jiang Feng raised a bowl of yellow rice wine, clinking it with Uncle Huo’s. He felt somewhat troubled—after finally becoming an Innate Powerhouse, he was surprised his strength still left him constantly on edge, having to be ready to flee at any moment. He wondered what level of strength it would take to be truly invincible.
"Haha, uncle will drink with you."
Uncle Huo didn’t refuse.
He was a born wine lover.
But even he could tell Jiang Feng was troubled that night, so he tried every way to help Jiang Feng relax, bringing up many lighthearted stories, even sharing how in his younger days he’d slipped into a brothel to peek at girls washing their feet, only to get chased out with sticks when caught.
Jiang Feng understood Uncle Huo’s intentions and played along, pressing for more embarrassing stories. By the end, Uncle Huo’s face was flushed as he mumbled through his drinks with Jiang Feng.
Night grew deep.
Jiang Feng helped Uncle Huo home.
Once his drunkenness hit, the guy let loose and forgot all about Jiang Feng’s worries. Jiang Feng settled Uncle Huo into his house, only for Auntie Huo to scold him roundly and give Uncle Huo’s waist a hard pinch.
Afterward, she smiled and saw Jiang Feng out.
Standing at the gate, she watched him leave.
Auntie Huo was a thoughtful woman. In these hard times, which family could afford to drink every day? Her man loved his wine, but his wages were meager, and there was a whole family to feed. She’d even seen Uncle Huo sneak wine dregs to eat.
Jiang Feng taking Uncle Huo out for drinks and letting him drink his fill—Auntie Huo felt deeply grateful to Jiang Feng for it.
"Ugh, ugh, ugh!"
At this moment, Uncle Huo, carried to bed, vomited all over the sheets—a stinking mess of wine and bile filled the room.
"Damn you! Drinking again every day—one of these days I’ll kill you!"
Seeing this, Auntie Huo rushed up, booted Uncle Huo’s backside, then dragged him up by the ear.
Drinking was fine, sure—
But you can’t just puke all over the bed, turning the room into a pigsty! Now she’d have to wash all the bedding too.
Back in his own yard,
Jiang Feng stood by his window, gazing toward the Imperial City.
Overlord Bow. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
Tang Saber.
Poison Needle Hidden Weapons.
And over a hundred poison arrows.
Outside Dragon Capital,
he’d even prepared a fast horse.
Should anything go wrong, he could escape instantly, ensuring his safety.
"By now, the Yun Gui Sect’s Immortal Master should be awakening Xiao Ran."
Jiang Feng murmured to himself.
As time ticked by,
the long night finally came to an end.
Jiang Feng sat in meditation on his bed.
Willow Alley had been peaceful last night.
Even within Dragon Capital, there was no abnormal fluctuation of the Power of Heaven and Earth—as if nothing had happened at all.
Sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating Jiang Feng’s face.
Jiang Feng checked his status panel.

"Wait... up by over sixty thousand? How did Sister Dong do it?"
Seeing the rise in his Fortune Point total, Jiang Feng almost cried out in surprise.
More than sixty thousand Fortune Points—did Han Dong make Xiao Ran completely drop his hostility? And also convince Xiao Zhan to stop digging further?
"Sister Dong, you really didn’t let me down."
Jiang Feng was full of gratitude inside.
"Xiao Ran must be awake by now. The trouble with him and Xiao Zhan should be resolved. As for the Second Prince... as long as Xiao Ran doesn’t snitch, Sister Dong will definitely find a way to cover for me—at the very least, the Second Prince won’t suspect me."
Jiang Feng’s face brimmed with relief.
He’d finally become an Innate Powerhouse,
so he was reluctant to stay on the run, a wanted man.
Being able to stay in Zhenbei Prison and earn a steady stream of Fortune Points—what’s not to love?
They say good fortune brings high spirits.
Jiang Feng boiled a pot of porridge, together with three eggs, and finished the pot himself, then after eating two eggs, went to meet Uncle Huo at the alley entrance and handed him the remaining egg.
"Xiao Jiang, last night I overdid it. Don’t take it to heart."
Uncle Huo pressed the egg to his face.
He’d puked all over the bed last night, trashed the house, and been beaten soundly by Auntie Huo. Now, waking up, his face was black and blue—just as Jiang Feng expected. That was why he cooked an extra egg for Uncle Huo.
"No worries, we’re family."
Jiang Feng truly didn’t mind at all.
"I just can’t control my mouth... Why don’t you come over for dinner tonight? I’ve stashed a little private money—I’ll make you a proper meal."
Uncle Huo grinned, showing his teeth.
"Uncle Huo, you don’t have to be so formal. Dinner’s dinner, no matter who hosts."
Jiang Feng knew Uncle Huo was strapped for cash. After last night, any pocket money he’d had was surely seized by Auntie Huo.
"All right then. How about tonight I bring Auntie Huo and Huo Wa over to your place—and I’ll drink a bit less."
