Chapter 36 My Dear Sisters

Liu Yulin finally escaped from the porcelain workshop.

She was already injured, first by the sword energy of Shen Anzhi's Jade Flower Sword, and later by Kui Ran's Horse-Slaying Saber.

She leaned against the wall, feeling extremely uncomfortable, and ran towards her husband's room, a question surfacing in her mind.

Kui Ran could have killed him with a horse-slaying sword, so why did she use the back of the blade instead?
Although she couldn't understand it, she felt fear and helplessness. Even if she escaped today's calamity, she would not be able to establish herself in Jingdezhen in the future, since her identity as a monster would soon become known to everyone.

Although I have always been a good demon, human nature is more complicated after all...

Faced with the two demon hunters who refused to listen to reason, Liu Yulin stumbled back to the courtyard of Hengfeng Porcelain Shop.

At this moment, Ding Tianfeng also learned about the porcelain workshop and was preparing to head there.

"Tianfeng." Liu Yulin felt a sense of loss when he saw Ding Tianfeng holding a wooden stick.

Ding Tianfeng was clearly unaware of the whole story. Seeing his wife standing weakly at the door, he went forward to help her up, saying, "Yulin, what's wrong? Have you been injured by a demon? They say a demon has appeared in the porcelain shop?"

These words left Liu Yulin speechless. The truth would eventually come out, and Liu Yulin, still holding back his tears, sat at his desk and said, "Tianfeng, the new porcelain sent to Jiangnan has been fired. I think this batch is of even better quality than the last batch."

"Yulin, what time is it and you're still talking about porcelain? Just stay home and don't go anywhere. I'll go check on you." Ding Tianfeng seemed to be experiencing this for the first time as well, and he opened one of his boxes somewhat helplessly. He took out a talisman from it and handed it to Liu Yulin, saying, "This talisman was given to me by a demon hunter years ago. It can protect you. Don't go anywhere, okay?"

After saying that, Ding Tianfeng went out and headed towards the porcelain workshop...

Looking at the yellowed talisman in his hand, Liu Yulin couldn't help but sneer, and then the talisman spontaneously combusted.

Liu Yulin hoped that this calamity would pass. She sat at her desk and opened the book she had written over the past fifteen years, "On Porcelain." Her hands were trembling, and she felt completely helpless.

After closing "On Porcelain," Liu Yulin got up and went to the window. Looking at the dark clouds in the distance and the occasional raindrop falling from the eaves, she made up her mind that she had to give it her all.

She transformed into a red cloud and flew away...

Strange Stone Forest.

This is a mountain on the western outskirts of Jingdezhen. Because the mountain is full of strangely shaped rocks, it is called the Strange Stone Forest by the locals.

This is Liu Yulin's headquarters, where they are using the natural barriers to undertake a massive project.

As Liu Yulin's red cloud descended upon the Strange Stone Forest, five other cloud clusters—blue, white, green, yellow, and purple—suddenly appeared, transforming into young, beautiful, and graceful women the instant they landed.

"Sister, what brings you here? I could hear you calling from afar."

"Sister, are you injured? Who did this?"

When the five sisters saw that Liu Yulin was injured, they all went forward to check on him.

These five porcelain demons—blue, white, green, yellow, and purple—have all cultivated their skills in blue and white porcelain for over three hundred years. Only Liu Yulin's cultivation level is five hundred years, so only Liu Yulin is in the porcelain business in Jingdezhen.

"I've been targeted by two demon hunters." Liu Yulin slowly sat down cross-legged and told her friends about her ordeal: "They're not letting go, we might be in trouble."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. Demon hunters and demons were natural enemies. "Sister, let's leave here and find a place to cultivate."

"No, our Porcelain Palace is not finished yet. It's the result of a century of hard work."

"But, but aren't we being targeted by demon hunters now?"

……

Faced with the chatter of her friends, Liu Yulin looked at the girl in purple, whose public name was Kang Qing, who was now in charge of building the Porcelain Palace in the Strange Stone Forest.

The Porcelain Palace is the second work of the six porcelain demons. Liu Yulin led "The Porcelain Talk", which includes the styles and firing methods of nearly a thousand pieces of porcelain from Jingdezhen, so that they can be passed down to future generations. The Porcelain Palace, led by Kang Qing, is a building constructed from tens of thousands of pieces of porcelain of various colors, porcelain bottles and porcelain plates. They call it the Porcelain Palace, and it is currently nearing completion.

“Sister, we can’t leave now. The Porcelain Palace is nearing completion and will soon be a success. Then, the porcelain of Jingdezhen will shine brightly.” Kang Qing and her friends have worked hard for a century, collecting tens of thousands of exquisite porcelain pieces from every household in Jingdezhen to achieve this result. She doesn’t want to give up.

Faced with everyone's predicament, Xiao Lü said with some guilt, "It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, we wouldn't have been targeted."

Xiao Lü was actually the porcelain demon from the Niu Village Chief's house in Jiangxin Village. She had heard long ago that the Niu Village Chief's house in Jiangxin Village had two pieces of porcelain that had been passed down for a hundred years. Xiao Lü wanted to see them and then make a replica to display in the Porcelain Palace. In the end, she encountered a river demon and stayed in Jiangxin Village. Finally, she was discovered by Kui Ran and Shen Anzhi and they tracked her down.

“This is none of your business,” Liu Yulin comforted her. “These two demon hunters are very young and their magical power is not very high, especially that Shen Anzhi. Although he is holding the Jade Flower Sword, his spiritual power is not enough. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be standing here.”

"Sister, how about this?" Kang Qing came up with an idea: "We sisters will go there ourselves, put some pressure on them, and make them back down. In addition, we can also help you get rid of the suspicion of being a demon."

Liu Yulin was very pleased: "That's what my sister meant by coming here, but remember, you must not harm them. Otherwise, this feud will become huge, and those old Taoists from Sanqing Palace and Wugong Mountain will definitely come down the mountain to seek revenge."

"Don't worry, we'll know what we're doing." After saying that, Kang Qing began to treat Liu Yulin's injuries.

Eastern suburbs of Jingdezhen.

Midnight (11 PM - 1 AM)

There were no pedestrians on the street, and two night watchmen were banging their gongs back and forth.

Since her falling out with Shen Anzhi at the porcelain workshop today, Kui Ran has been searching for the demon's whereabouts, but has yet to find any clues.

Just now, Kui Ran used the Demon-Matching Gourd to sense a demonic threat in the eastern suburbs, but because her spiritual power was insufficient, she could only bring possible clues with her. However, after circling around several times, she did not see any demons.

Just as he was about to return to Hengfeng Porcelain Shop, five figures suddenly appeared under a dim light in the western suburbs. They were graceful and elegant, with long skirts fluttering in the wind. After chatting amongst themselves for a while, the women headed towards Jingdezhen.

At this moment, the gourd at Kui Ran's waist also began to respond slightly, and the scriptures on the gourd began to emit faint light.

This foreshadows the presence of demons and danger in the vicinity.

Kui Ran was about to give chase, but as soon as he climbed over the wall into a courtyard in Jingdezhen, he was so frightened that he turned back.

Then, the spirit snake appeared behind the five porcelain demons.

This is a classic case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; and after the oriole, there's always a dog.
Kui Ran stretched her neck and searched everywhere for Shen Anzhi's figure. After all, the spirit snake was her pet baby. Since the snake had appeared, Shen Anzhi must be nearby. But no matter how she searched, she couldn't find any trace of Shen Anzhi.

So, the spirit snake followed the five porcelain demons, and Kui Ran followed the spirit snake. They all sneaked to the ancient kiln site, and everyone was very excited, looking determined to get it.
