The Demon King, reborn in Japan as a monk

It's not like Zilanxuan is short of money; they can just give her some gold and silver to get rid of her.

Besides, there are only a few male servants, just those who are responsible for taking out the trash, cleaning the toilet, carrying firewood, and starting the fire. Even if they lose their jobs at Zilan Pavilion, there will still be places that will take them in. At most, their treatment may not be as good as at Zilan Pavilion, and they may not be able to see as many women as they do at Zilan Pavilion.

It's not difficult to deal with.

Before long, Zi Nu dismissed the male servants and led the women of Zi Lan Xuan to the hall, where they lined up to await Ishihara Zhang's audience and arrangements.

Then Ishihara Akane came down from the rooftop and appeared in front of all the women of the Purple Orchid Pavilion.

"I believe Zi Nu has already told you her choice and your future. Now, I will ask you one last time: who among you is unwilling to go with me? Step forward now, and I will have Zi Nu provide you with a settlement allowance and send you away. Otherwise, once you are a member of my sect, you will be a member for life. You cannot leave Baiyujing without my permission, and if you want a man, you will have to serve me until you die. I will give you a quarter of an hour to consider. Those who have not made a choice after a quarter of an hour will be considered to have accepted everything. If you want to go back on your word then, don't blame me for not giving Zi Nu face." Shi Yuanzhang's gaze swept over the women before him like a sharp blade as he declared. www.zwwx.com

"I...I want to leave." At this moment, Princess Honglian, who was standing to the side and would also be taken to Baiyujing this time, immediately jumped out and said.

“You are not within the permitted scope,” Ishihara Akira refused bluntly.

"Why should I?!" Honglian demanded.

"Just because you are someone I, Guan Han Wang, want," Shi Yuanzhang said with a light laugh.

"Damn it! Why did Father entrust me to someone like you!" Honglian didn't care at all about Ishihara Sho's reaction after hearing her words, and continued to complain loudly without any attempt to hide her feelings.

"Alright, Honglian, perhaps your father has his own reasons," said Consort Hu, who was standing next to Honglian, gently patting her shoulder in comfort.

As people who share the same fate, Hu Meiren did not want Honglian to be blamed by the immortals because of her true nature.

After all, they would be living with immortals in the future. Although that situation might not be exactly the same as the situation in the royal palace, having a helper or friend was better than being all alone.

Therefore, she didn't want anything to happen to Honglian.

……

Fifteen minutes later, apart from a few women who seemed to have someone they liked or who had their own ideas and chose to leave, the others were already homeless and didn't have any lovers outside. If they left Zilan Pavilion, they would really have nowhere to go.

Unlike the other women who chose to leave, she also knew martial arts and could live well even without the protection of Zilanxuan. Therefore, it was inevitable that she would follow Zinu and become Shiyuan Zhang's subordinate.

Then Shi Yuanzhang didn't waste any more words. He simply waved his hand and led the women of Zilanxuan who had chosen to stay, along with Zi Nu, Nong Yu, Xue Nu, Hong Lian, and Hu Meiren, back to Baiyujing.

"Snow Woman, show them around Baiyujing, then help Purple Woman settle them in," Snow Woman, who seemed unfazed by the sudden change in environment, instructed Ishihara Shoko.

"Yes," the snow woman replied.

"Miko, after you've settled the others, think about their future work and life, and then report back to me for review," Ishihara Akira said to Muriko, whose face showed a strange expression of shock.

"Yes, Master." Zi Nu snapped out of her daze and quickly replied.

"You may all leave." Ishihara Sho waved his hand, and with another flash, he left Baiyujing again.

However, this time he did not appear in the now empty Zilan Pavilion, but in a cave. He stood in front of a huge wall made of a huge piece of crystal, looking at the interior behind it filled with liquid, and a beautiful woman swimming around in it like a mermaid.

The woman also noticed the sudden appearance of Ishihara Yu and swam over, meeting Ishihara Yu's gaze through the crystal wall that was as transparent as glass.

"I can release you, but in return, you must become my woman and obey my orders. If you agree, blink; if you disagree, pretend I was never here, and I'll leave immediately," said Yan Lingji inside the Ishihara Shoko.

Furthermore, to prevent the sound from being blocked by the water and crystal walls and thus failing to reach Yan Lingji, he even used his ability to transmit it directly into Yan Lingji's mind using telepathy.

Unable to speak while submerged in the water, Yan Lingji still blinked her eyes in a very cooperative manner.

"Don't think you can escape my grasp just because you've come out. I'm not as simple as you think." Ishihara Sho, who had also heard Yan Lingji's thoughts due to his telepathic abilities, chuckled.

Yan Lingji couldn't speak, but she stared at him with her big, bright eyes to show that she didn't have such thoughts.

"Let's just pretend you didn't have it. Step back a bit," Ishihara Akira said with a smile.

Yan Lingji obediently swam a little further inside.

Without further hesitation, Ishihara Akira clenched his fist and smashed it against the crystal wall in front of him.

"boom!"

After a tremendous roar, the crystal wall was instantly pierced by Ishihara Sho's fist, and water flowed uncontrollably from the sloping edge, gushing out like a fountain as Ishihara Sho withdrew his arm.

"What's that noise?" At the same time, outside the water prison, one of the two guards suddenly said to his companion.

"A commotion? What commotion? Is there any noise?" the other person asked, puzzled.

"It seems to have come from inside."

"Inside? There's not a soul in here except for you and me, so where would any noise come from? You must have misheard."

"No, I'll go in and take a look." With that, the guard took out a key, unlocked the chain hanging on the gate, removed the chain, opened the gate, and walked towards the water dungeon.

Chapter 700

Before long, the guards arrived at the cave where the water prison was located.

"Who goes there!" the guard shouted at Ishihara Sho, who was standing in front of the water dungeon.

Ishihara Akira didn't bother to answer. He simply turned his head and glared at the latter, who immediately opened his eyes wide as if he had seen a ghost. His face turned pale and he fell backward to the ground. He twitched a couple of times and then completely lost consciousness.

Yan Lingji witnessed the entire process, and her expression changed slightly as she finally took Ishihara Sho's earlier warning to heart.

Perhaps, I've really messed up this time...

After a short while, the water in the water prison finally drained away. Yan Lingji no longer needed Shi Yuanzhang's assistance and used her internal force to shatter the crystal wall in front of her, emerging from the water prison.

"Let's go, I'll take you back," Ishihara Akira said indifferently.

His seemingly unmoved demeanor, completely unaffected by Yan Lingji's undisguised figure, made Yan Lingji's heart sink even further.
