After being choked to death by a copper coin, she became a demon Jin Ji in the other world

Shen Yuelan sneered when she heard that, grabbed the collar of Old Zhao who was about to peek at the three people taking a bath, and went into his room. Shen Sushang and Huanyan sat in front of the three little ones' room together to prevent some people from giving up.

The two people in the room stared at each other for a long time. Finally, Lao Zhao had no choice but to give in and asked Shen Yuelan what happened. Shen Yuelan sneered and said to Lao Zhao:

[Old man, you owe me a thousand gold this time. ]

Upon hearing this, Old Zhao jumped up and hid in the corner. In an extremely sad tone, he said to Shen Yuelan that the little money he had was all for his funeral. If Shen Yuelan wanted it, it was fine, but she could at least wait until he was a hundred years old. There was no need to be in such a hurry.

Shen Yuelan looked at the old man in the corner with both anger and amusement, and said unhappily:

[Why would I need your little gold and silver? Master Xuanlong and I went to a brothel in Tokyo today. Guess who I met?]

[Oh, you guys went to a brothel. How could you go there without asking me? Oh, Minglan, I really loved you in vain.]

When Old Zhao heard this, he looked very sad, as if he had lost some treasure.

[Huh, really? Then, do you want to see your own daughter receiving customers? ]

Old Zhao, who had a sad look on his face just now, froze instantly after hearing this and looked at Shen Yuelan in shock.

[That’s right. Among the three people, the one with the coldest appearance is your illegitimate daughter. Her surname is Du. Her father once wrote a poem for her mother. Is that right, General Zhao?]

Old Zhao looked pale, hesitant to speak, and kept looking back, wanting to go out to take a look, but he didn't dare, so he could only pace around the house. Shen Yuelan didn't know what the old man meant when she saw this, so she continued:

[Don't worry, that girl is still young and innocent, so she is very clean. ]

[As for the other two, they have some connection with you. One is Zhou Rounu, the one with a gentle appearance. Her father was once your imperial physician, but because he was involved in the power struggle between you two brothers, his family was destroyed, leaving only this orphan girl, who lives in a brothel.]

Old Zhao looked bitter when he heard this. As for the imperial physician named Zhou, he did remember that man was indeed loyal to him. He did not expect that he would end up like this. It was indeed his own fault.

[As for the third one, the one with a determined look on his face, his name is Liang Suqing. He is the war orphan left behind when you attacked Southern Tang.]

Upon hearing this, Old Zhao's eyes immediately became lively again. He said that his unification of the Central Plains was a benevolent policy, and some casualties were inevitable. This could not be counted, and the debt should be reduced!

Shen Yuelan smiled evilly, indicating that it was not possible, but money was indispensable. Du Shiyan cost 700 gold, Zhou Runnu cost 300 gold, and Liang Suqing was a gift, so no money was spent.

When Old Zhao heard this, he fell to the ground with a wow and burst into tears pitifully.

Shen Yuelan turned her head and touched her nose. Tsk, it’s not easy to make an old man over fifty years old cry.

Chapter 33 Minglan Accepts a Disciple

Old Zhao finally collected a thousand taels of gold from his burial objects and gave it to Shen Yuelan, but Shen Yuelan only accepted seven hundred of the gold and only handed over Du Shiyan's indenture contract to Old Zhao.

As for Zhou Rounu and Liang Suqing, they had naturally been reserved by the two men long ago to become reserve members of the Demon Coin Inspection Team. Moreover, handing their indentures to Lao Zhao was no different from throwing a meat bun at a dog.

I’m afraid that when I wake up the next day, Lao Zhao will have two more concubines around him. Humph, man.

After the three of them washed up and finally recovered and turned back into gentle and lovely girls, Shen Yuelan pulled Du Shiyan out of the three people and pointed at Lao Zhao, who had changed into neat clothes and was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard with a dignified look on his face, and said:

【This is the man who wrote poems for your mother. 】

Upon hearing this, Old Zhao's serious face cracked a little, but his years of training as an emperor allowed him to remain calm. However, his daughter Du Shiyan was a little overwhelmed.

She asked Shen Yuelan with a suspicious look, whether she had made a mistake, she really couldn't accept that her grandfather was still alive. Upon hearing this, Shen Yuelan activated her red pupil to analyze the relationship between the two.

Finally, he patted Du Shiyan on the shoulder and said:

[Give up, I have identified him, this is your grandfather.]

Looking at his daughter who was somewhat devastated, Old Zhao sighed. He didn't expect that in his bleak old age, he would have another daughter. If he had never seen her, it would have been fine, but since she had been redeemed by Ming Lan, there was no reason to abandon her and not teach her.

[Your name is Shi Yan, right? Haha, I really look like your elder sister. I know you must be very uncomfortable with a grandfather like me suddenly appearing. You have imagined your grandfather countless times, but you didn't expect me to be such an old man.]

[The gap is hard to accept, I understand. Come on, kid, I have already cleaned up your room. Tell me about your bitterness over the years, and I will tell you everything about mine. ]

In the end, Du Shiyan accepted her fate and had a long talk with her grandfather all night. Perhaps tomorrow they would be able to figure out the father-daughter relationship.

Shen Yuelan turned around and looked at the remaining two guys with shining eyes, pouring a bucket of cold water on the two little girls who had some expectations.

[Okay, the two of you don't have to wait any longer. There's only Du Shiyan's father here. Just follow me.]

Shen Yuelan brought the two of them to a room that had been specially prepared for them and introduced them to the room:

[From tomorrow on, you two will be, um, my disciples, not prostitutes or slaves anymore, understand? ]

The two poor little guys who had just been hit by Shen Yuelan rekindled their hope after hearing this.

Shen Yuelan did not disappoint the two's expectations. She burned their indentures in front of them and named Zhou Runnu Jingqi and Liang Suqing Jingrong.

Shen Yuelan believed that she put a lot of thought into giving these two girls Taoist names. She was not like Sister Yuelong, who just picked a character in the name and used it as her Taoist name.

Speak of the devil, and he appears. Gan Yuelong and Xiao Wanchuan, dressed in men's clothes, walk in exhausted. Shen Yuelan introduces Gan Yuelong's identity to the two, saying that Gan Yuelong's Taoist name is Xuanlong, and that he is their master.

Gan Yuelong was stunned when she heard this, and then suddenly realized that Shen Yuelan didn't want Zhou Rounu to take advantage of her and be her equal, so she deliberately accepted them both before she came back.

Gan Yuelong knocked Shen Yuelan's head helplessly to show his dissatisfaction. However, it's okay to be a disciple, it's almost the same anyway. Seeing this, Shen Yuelan, who got the advantage, knew that Gan Yuelong had tacitly agreed to his arrangement.

He proudly told his two good disciples that he was incompetent and had not been able to learn all of Master Xuanlong's knowledge, especially the medical skills. Therefore, this time he also planned to recruit disciples to teach Master Xuanlong.

With this reason, Shen Yuelan justifiably handed Zhou Rounu to Gan Yuelong. Gan Yuelong curled her lips and thought, after going through so much trouble, she still wants me to teach her in the end. What's the point?

Shen Yuelan secretly stuck out her tongue at her, turned around, and called Shen Suchang in, introducing her to everyone, saying that Shen Suchang was the Fairy Xuan Su, who was of the same generation as Fairy Xuan Long, who was proficient in martial arts and needed someone to serve her.

In short, he found a reason to hand over Liang Suqing's martial arts teaching task to Shen Suchang, and he himself was responsible for teaching the two of them in calligraphy and painting.

Although Shen Yuelan's arrangement was a bit opportunistic, from the perspective of teaching staff, it was indeed the best use of resources, so the two elders of the Xuan generation reluctantly accepted it. As for Du Shiyan, Shen Yuelan did not intend to care about her, because her grandfather was still alive and well.

After arranging for the two disciples to rest, Shen Yuelan excitedly pulled Gan Yuelong into her room. Shen Suchang and others followed in and asked about the follow-up situation. After Gan Yuelong gave himself a sip of tea, he did not keep her in suspense.

She began to tell the story vividly to everyone. When she mentioned that Zhao Yuanxian was kicked and was beyond recovery, everyone sighed. The little princess left a good impression on everyone.

Shen Yuelan asked Gan Yuelong if Zhao Yuanxian was qualified to be a civil servant in the other world. Gan Yuelong did not directly respond to Shen Yuelan's question, but just said:

[It doesn’t matter if you have it or not, if you don’t live to a ripe old age, it’s all useless. ]

Although Gan Yuelong did not say it directly, Shen Yuelan probably understood what he had not said. She was afraid that this person was not destined to be with her.

On the second day, old Zhao's small temple welcomed two noble guests again. These two people were none other than Zhao Yuanlian and Zhao Yuanxian from yesterday, but Zhao Yuanxian's face looked even paler today.

Zhao Yuanxian knelt in front of Gan Yuelong and said that he was young and naughty, and was seriously injured in a fight with someone yesterday. He knew that he was powerless and would not live long.

But a gentleman values his promise. Since he had already made a promise yesterday to change his allegiance and become a disciple of Sanqing, he must do it, even if he has to die under the steps of Sanqing.

Last night, Zhao Yuanxian had asked the emperor for an order while she was lying on her sickbed. Although Zhao Er was extremely indignant to see his beloved daughter in such a state, he could not hit her or twist her away. His beloved daughter would not live for many days, so he had no choice but to let her go.

Zhao Yuanlian on the side also chimed in, hoping that Gan Yuelong could accept Zhao Yuanxian. Gan Yuelong naturally knew why Zhao Yuanxian joined the Taoist sect and did not want to be the bad guy.

He then continued with the lie Shen Yuelan had made up yesterday, saying that he had not accepted any disciples for a long time, and if Zhao Yuanxian insisted on joining the Taoist sect, he could go under Shen Yuelan's tutelage.

The Zhao sisters naturally wanted it very much. Shen Yuelan looked at Zhao Yuanxian's haggard appearance and felt soft-hearted for a moment. It would only be more than two months, so she would accompany her through her last days.

So he accepted Zhao Yuanxian as his third disciple and gave her the Taoist name, Jingjie.

Chapter 34: I Can't Breathe

Zhao Yuanxian finally got what she wanted and successfully came to Shen Yuelan's side. Every day, she surrounded Shen Yuelan like a little bee. If Shen Yuelan didn't know that this guy was actually tortured by illness and drunken every night, she would have thought that she was deceiving her.

At the beginning, everyone including Zhao Yuanling thought that Zhao Yuanxian's so-called "love at first sight" for Shen Yuelan was just a temporary novelty. When the novelty wore off, Zhao Yuanxian could leave without any regrets.

But she never thought that Zhao Yuanxian's inexplicable love for Shen Yuelan was so deep and deep, just because Shen Yuelan said to her one day in April, "It's such a pity that you will die at the prime of your life. It would be better if you could stay with me for a while longer."

She actually relied on this sentence to survive until August, and it seemed that she could still hold on. Her obsession with Shen Yuelan had even reached a level that was difficult for others to understand.

But no matter how much they didn't understand, no one dared to break Zhao Yuanxian's obsession with Shen Yuelan. If they said one wrong word, it would cost a life. In response to this, everyone's reactions and actions were also different.

The support operation was originally planned to start in the second half of the year, but after repeated consideration, everyone finally decided to postpone the departure time. If delaying a mission can save a life, this deal is worth it no matter what.

Seeing Zhao Yuanxian's strong appearance every day, Gan Yuelong admired this guy's perseverance. Therefore, Zhao Yuanxian finally got the little information that Gan Yuelong revealed to her.

If she could live to the age of 16, she would have the chance to live with Shen Yuelan forever. Zhao Yuanxian's eyes lit up when he heard this. No matter whether what Xuanlong Fairy said was true or not, it was only two years, and he could still hold on.

This is what she thought and planned to do. It seemed that Zhao Yuanxian had found a new goal.

Although Zhao Yuanling was very happy that his sister was still alive, it was difficult to explain to the court and it would be easily used by those censors who had nothing better to do to make trouble.

Therefore, Zhao Yuanling reported the news of Zhao Yuanxian's death to the court in May. That is to say, from then on, Zhao Yuanxian was dead in the social sense, and only Jingjie was still alive.

Shen Yuelan felt that Zhao Yuanxian now probably regarded herself as her spiritual support. Therefore, as long as Zhao Yuanxian's request was not excessive, Shen Yuelan would usually agree to it to stimulate her desire to survive.

For example, today, Zhao Yuanxian wanted to dress up Shen Yuelan. Since Zhao Yuanxian and the other three came, Shen Yuelan and the others appeared as Taoist nuns most of the time. Since she planned to pretend to be a master for a few months, it was rare for her to dress up.

Therefore, Shen Yuelan did not find it unacceptable for Zhao Yuanxian to want to feast her eyes. She had nothing to do today anyway, so she agreed to her request to dress herself up.

Zhao Yuanxian first found a black undergarment (tube top) for Shen Yuelan, and covered it with a long-sleeved top with a black background and dark gold thread patterns. The collar was open and there were no buttons. The lower body was matched with a dark-colored pleated silk skirt embroidered with gold-thread cranes.

Shen Yuelan's black hair was let down, and 30% of it was tied up with a crown. A pair of flowers were pasted between her eyebrows, and a touch of vermilion was applied between her lips. With Shen Yuelan's naturally red eyes and no heavy makeup, the image of an elegant, arrogant, mysterious and deep young demon queen came to life on the paper.

Zhao Yuanxian loved Shen Yuelan's appearance so much that she buried herself in Shen Yuelan's arms with an obsessive look on her face. Gradually, the last expectation in her eyes seemed to be satisfied.

Because there was no mirror, Shen Yuelan couldn't see what she looked like, but since Zhao Yuanxian liked it, she would use the core of the enchantress to save her image first, as it might be useful in the future.

After Zhao Yuanxian had rubbed himself enough in Shen Yuelan's arms, he pulled Shen Yuelan out of the house, wanting to let everyone see his results.

The effect after going through the whole process was indeed remarkable, or rather too good. It made Shen Sushang stare at it, Zhou Rounu was so fascinated that she couldn't walk, Liang Suqing drooled, and Du Shiyan dropped her beloved pipa.

In the end, Gan Yuelong, who was bleeding from his nose, forbade him to wear this outfit again in this mission, and he cursed Shen Yuelan in a rare moment of weakness:

[Shen Yuelan!! What do you want to do? Look at how many girls you have harmed. You have harmed almost all the girls in the whole temple. What do you want by wearing this? Are you planning to seduce Jingjie's mother to come over before you stop?]

After Gan Yuelong yelled this, she drove Shen Yuelan and Zhao Yuanxian out of her house. Zhao Yuanxian told Shen Yuelan with a proud look on her face that her mother really liked this.

Shen Yuelan was so scared that she quickly pulled Zhao Yuanxian back to the house. It was fine for her to look around in the house, but it would be bad if she attracted unnecessary peach blossoms because of this outfit.

However, the reactions of the crowd also made Shen Yuelan certain that the effects of her makeup and clothing were indeed very good, and they could be used as a killer in some necessary occasions.

Shen Yuelan pulled Zhao Yuanxian and ran happily in the yard. It was a rare opportunity for Shen Yuelan to release her nature, and Zhao Yuanxian also looked extremely happy and excited.

However, Shen Yuelan did not notice that Zhao Yuanxian's face was getting paler under his happy smile. After a while of fooling around, the two returned to Zhao Yuanxian's hut, sat on the threshold of the hut, and looked at the sunset in the distance.

[Hey, Master? ]

【Um?【】

[I heard from Uncle Mingyan that couples play a game called knee pillow. Master, can you try it with me?] Zhao Yuanxian looked at Shen Yuelan expectantly with her big watery eyes flashing.

[Okay, okay, come on. There's nothing special about a knee pillow. It's just one person resting their head on another person's legs.]

[That’s enough. For me, it’s enough.]

[Master? Can you sing a verse for me? ]

[My singing is not good? ]

[It doesn’t matter. Whatever the master sings, it sounds the best to me.]

[Okay, whatever you say.]

[Ten years of life and death, I can never forget you without thinking of you. A thousand miles away, a lonely grave, with no one to talk about my sadness. Even if we meet, we won't recognize each other, with dust all over our faces and hair like frost.

Last night, I had a dream that I was back home. I was sitting in the window, dressing up. We looked at each other without words, but tears flowed down my face. I guess the place where my heart breaks every year is the short pine hill on a moonlit night.

Zhao Yuanxian enjoyed the lap pillow service of "Demon Lord" Shen Yuelan, listened to the mourning words of later literary masters, and fell into eternal sleep with a peaceful expression. She ultimately did not survive the age of fourteen.

Shen Yuelan looked at her disciple who had stopped breathing. She wanted to reach out to confirm, but she couldn't accept it for a moment. Her fingers couldn't reach her nose. She wanted to cry, but found that her tears had already dried up.

It was from Zhao Yuanxian that she experienced for the first time the feeling of heartache. It was so painful that she couldn't breathe. It was not just an expression.

Gan Yuelong and Lao Zhao, who had been standing in the distance for a long time, sighed softly, walked over slowly, and said to Shen Yuelan:

[Ming Lan, the sunset has already ended. ]

Chapter 35: The End of the Song

Even though his spirit was still strong, his body had long since fallen apart. No matter how strong his willpower was, he could no longer control his broken body to walk among the living. Zhao Yuanxian was too tired, too tired.

Shen Yuelan did not want to bury Zhao Yuanxian. The feeling of watching her disciple rot bit by bit was too terrible. After waking up from the grief, Shen Yuelan immediately sealed him into a landscape painting.

Lamented:

[Using paintings as coffins, I will be elegant after death. My soul is in my heart, and my body belongs to my paintings. I will not let you down as a master and disciple. 】

Shen Yuelan carefully put away the painting and named it "Jingjie Tu".

She planned to build a small cemetery in her backyard after completing her mission and returning to the other world, specifically to house the painted coffins of her deceased relatives. Shen Yuelan always felt that she would inevitably encounter these sad things in the future.

Seeing their junior sister being sealed into the painting by their master using magical means, Zhou Rounu and Liang Suqing were so shocked that they forgot their sadness for a moment. They thought that Shen Yuelan and the others were just ordinary female priests, but they didn't expect them to be real immortals.

After the Jingjie event was over, Shen Yuelan and Gan Yuelong took them to Annan. The corresponding preparations had been completed long ago, so everyone packed up and prepared to leave the next day.

Old Zhao felt a little sad when he saw everyone busy. He touched his heart and turned to Shen Yuelan beside him and said:

[Yue Lan, I have a feeling that after you leave, we may never see each other again.]

[What are you talking about, old man? With your body, you can hold on for another ten years. What's the problem? ]

Shen Yuelan responded somewhat bitterly.

[Haha, I am grateful for your good words, but I know my own health. All good things must come to an end. You have experienced life and death, so you should be more open-minded about the affairs of this world.]
