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

After Ling Ji finished speaking, she left from behind Shen Yuelan. Without waiting for Shen Yuelan's invitation, she turned around and sat beside her, pouring herself a cup of black tea.

Should we say that Ling Ji was once a popular courtesan? Even though she was already old, she still had a charming demeanor and a graceful figure. Most importantly, she had a very good temperament, a kind of orchid-like temperament surrounding her.

In Shen Yuelan's opinion, even some so-called nobles may not have Ling Ji's temperament. It is definitely not something that an ordinary family can cultivate. It seems that the life experience of this top courtesan is not simple.

[Anyone who suddenly comes up behind me like this would be startled. Aren't you asking too much of me? ]

[Alas, the higher the requirements, the greater the expectations. I plan to live with you permanently. If you die halfway, I will be very worried. ]

[Eh? You don't plan to take revenge? Are you just going to retire gloriously like this?]

[Oh? Master Yue Lan, do you want me to go to the auction venue and make a scene? Although I have had this intention for a long time, it is already very lively there, so I plan to wait a while.]

[After all, I heard that the scandal that caused the Bei Empire and the Silver Federation to fight each other seemed to be related to you? I thought that the children in Wuxia Town still had to make a living under your control, so I spared them this time. ]

[Haha, so that's how it is. Then you should rest here for a while. By the way, Ms. Qingji and the others have moved to the Quanxin World. It's very lively there now. Would you like to go and take a look? ]

Ling Ji was silent for a long time after hearing this, and finally rejected Shen Yuelan's proposal. She felt that the dead should look like dead people, and should not cause trouble in front of their acquaintances during their lifetime.

[In that case, you can rest here. Although my place is not big, it has everything you need. If you need anything, just ask the fairies to prepare it.]

[By the way, which room do you like? We can go and choose it now. ]

[Ah, no need. I have already chosen a place to live. It is the cemetery you built behind the courtyard. I like it very much. I see that the residents there all live in the painting. It is very comfortable.]

[After careful inquiry, all the souls said that this was your work, so I came to ask you for a painted coffin. ]

[Hey? Painted coffins are easy to come by. I have several ready-made ones here. You can pick any one you like.]

[However, you just said that there are souls wandering in the cemetery? Is this true? I thought they were all dead and could not die anymore? ]

[It is a soul, or a ghost, not the spirit you mentioned. The people in the past are indeed dead, and what remains in the world is just their obsession that is difficult to resolve. This is true for me, and for the ghost emperor named Dujuan.]

[Lord Yuelan, please don't get lost. ]

Chapter 263 Fishing in Troubled Waters

[I know, but, they are all friends who have left color in my life. Even though I know in my heart that they have long passed away, I still want to reach out and touch them, even if it is just like a moth flying into a flame.]

[Alas, I understand, but it is precisely because of this that I do not want to appear in front of Qing Ji and others. I think your friends should have the same idea, otherwise, how could they hide until now? ]

[I know, I know, I won't disturb their peace, I will wait patiently until the day they are willing to face me.]

[That’s good.]

[I will choose this picture of ice orchid. After all, I and the obsessions behind me were burned to death by the blazing fire. If possible, I still want to find a cool place for myself to settle down. ]

[Humph, I told you to leave with me a long time ago, but you were so stubborn and insisted on keeping a secret. You ended up burning with lust, and in the end you still came here on your own. If you had come back with me earlier, there wouldn't be so many things to worry about.]

Ling Ji's face turned red after hearing what Shen Yuelan said. Although this was the truth, no one was willing to admit that they died from their past stupidity. Therefore, Shen Yuelan was beaten up without surprise.

Although he was beaten, he managed to appease Ling Ji, which was a complete success. At the welcome party in the evening, Shen Yuelan gradually learned the answers to the first two doubts while chatting with Ling Ji.

First of all, the main reason why Luo Xinfu targeted Shen Yuelan was because of Queen Bei’s scandal. If they could catch the contractor of a powerful leader, as long as they handled it properly, Luo Xinfu and her followers would be able to rise to the top overnight.

They thought that the demon king-level fighters were enough to capture Shen Yuelan, but they didn't expect that Shen Yuelan was actually followed by a ghost emperor. This caused Luo Xinfu and others, who thought they had a sure victory, to capsize and lose their lives.

As for the stolen money of Luo Xinfu, although it was not found at that time, among the 50,000 people who were burned to death, there was a trusted maid of Luo Xinfu who survived.

With the help of the maid's memory fragments, Lingji found the windfall in a remote ruin in Wuxia Town.

Lingji did not keep the money for herself, but handed it to Shen Yuelan in person. After all, this was agreed upon before and it was an important condition for Shen Yuelan to accept the residents of Wuxia Town.

Of course, Shen Yuelan's act of unconditionally accepting the refugees from Wuxia Town even without the money was also the main reason why Lingji was willing to give up this windfall.

[Hehehe, Huanyan, did you see that? Your master is indeed a person of both good character and good learning, talented and virtuous. A gentleman loves money but gets it in a proper way. That's what I am talking about! ]

[Hehe, if Master Yuelan continues to brag like this, Lingji will have to reflect on her choice.]

[Uh, no no no, I was wrong, isn't that okay? It's not good to regret it at will, and the money has already been allocated to Quanxin City for the construction of local infrastructure. You don't have it anymore, lelelele.]

Ling Ji rolled her eyes speechlessly. She decided to put revenge aside for the time being and give Shen Yuelan a good beating first. As for how to do it, she already had an idea in mind.

To be honest, Shen Yuelan's temperament is indeed a bit unworthy of her pretty face. After all, she was a male from the working class in her previous life and had never received any physical training, let alone the cultivation of her temperament.

The cold and aloof temperament she had previously maintained was all due to Shen Yuelan's silence. Once she opened her mouth, she was on the verge of breaking it. Ling Ji, who always liked to teach the younger generation, naturally couldn't stand it. She advised:

[Master Yue Lan, please don’t think that what I teach are things that only prostitutes learn. In fact, most of them are the royal etiquette of my country when I was alive.]

[When my country was destroyed and my family was ruined, I was afraid of being bullied, so I gave up the dignity of being a royal princess and taught the royal etiquette, which should have been the glory of the royal family, as an exclusive skill to those prostitutes. I did so much just to hope that I could receive fewer customers.]

[Alas, now, neither I nor my descendants need my etiquette lessons anymore. They don’t need to sell their bodies and can live well with their own abilities, and this is all thanks to you.]

[So, let me repay you with this, okay? I hope that as the last person to learn this etiquette, you can help this long-lost etiquette regain its dignity.]

Although Shen Yuelan was reluctant to accept Lingji's proposal, she finally agreed to Lingji's request to teach after the threat of force and painstaking persuasion.

However, in order to make himself feel more balanced, this guy actually tricked Su Jiu and Huan Yan back to learn etiquette with her. The two kids were very disdainful of this.

However, although Lingji's starting point was good, temperament is something that cannot be cultivated in a day or two, and the conflicting parties at the scandal auction obviously did not give Lingji enough time to complete this task.

Although Hua Liluo and Gan Yuelong, as the organizers of the auction, mediated between the two parties several times, the results were not ideal. In fact, no one had any hope for their mediation.

After all, the Silver Federation and the Bei Empire have been at war for a long time. If the two of them can successfully mediate between the two, they can win the Nobel Peace Prize.

At the moment, representatives from the Bei Empire hope to meet this legendary contractor and convey the will of the Emperor and Queen to her, while the Silver Federation seems to be frantically searching for the true identity of this mysterious girl.

Influenced by the inexplicable behaviors of these two families, all major forces suddenly formed an absurd consensus, that is, as long as they control this mysterious man, they can obtain ownership of the Bei Empire.

Shen Yuelan didn't know how these guys came to such an absurd conclusion, but she didn't think it was worth it. However, after considering it for a while, she still planned to secretly meet with the representative of the Bei Empire.

It was not a good idea to remain in this stalemate. She wanted to find out what these guys' intentions were, because she always felt that she had overlooked something, resulting in the clues not being connected.

However, this move was unanimously opposed by everyone as expected. For now, as long as Shen Yuelan does not take the initiative to show up, no one will know the relationship between Shen Yuelan and the scandal except some insiders.

On the contrary, if Shen Yuelan shows up, what awaits her will be endless assassinations and kidnappings. She will be bound to the Bei Empire for the rest of her life and will never be able to make a breakthrough.

[Master, it's not like we don't have Sister Bei's contact information. I can just ask her what she means later. Why put yourself in danger?]

[Yes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. This is not a situation where one must risk his life to survive. We do not need to take such a risky move.]

[I know, but I always feel that the people of the Bei Empire want to give me something, otherwise why would they create trouble at this critical juncture? ]

[Well, since Master Yue Lan is determined to do so, how about I go and take a look? ]

[How can this be possible? After all, this is my personal affair, how can I let you take the risk? ]

[It doesn't matter. I'm going to make a scene anyway, so why not let me take advantage of the situation.]

Chapter 264: Keep Your Mouth Shut

Ling Ji’s idea was very simple. No matter what the intentions of those representatives of the Bei Empire were, compared to Shen Yuelan, it was not so easy to hurt her who had turned into a ghost.

And she did intend to do something. After all, her enemies were right before her eyes. How could she justify her resentment if she didn't kill a few of them?

[But you haven't trained me yet? Is it really okay to give up halfway? ]

[Ha, this is for you, go learn it yourself, don't delay my work.]

【Mother...mother?】

Seeing Ling Ji changing her self-proclaimed name and disappearing at the door in a swagger, Shen Yuelan's expression cracked for a moment. She lowered her head and flipped through the "Royal Etiquette Tutorial" in her hand.

He looked up in disbelief at the figure that was already out of reach, and began to wonder, which Ling Ji was her true character?

However, these are no longer important, because Ling Ji never came back, and the news sent back by Bei also proved that the so-called imperial representative was fake. The real imperial representative was detained when passing through the Silver Federation.

If Huanyan and others had not tried their best to dissuade her, it would be Shen Yuelan who would never come back. Shen Yuelan felt quite guilty about this. If she had not believed in her sixth sense and insisted on going to the Hongmen Banquet, Lingji would not have disappeared.

But at this point, there is no point in saying anything. What Shen Yuelan wants to figure out now is what exactly happened at the scene?

Why didn't the expected chaos happen? Why did the auction go on as usual the next day? The so-called representatives of the two parties even attended the auction normally? And is Lingji dead or alive?

Shen Yuelan was not worried that she would die directly. As long as the resentment of Wuxia Town was still there, that guy would always reappear in front of her. She was just afraid that she was controlled by someone with special means.

In that case, Lingji's chances of fully recovering would be slim.

Although Shen Yuelan wanted to explore the matter, Hua Liluo and Gan Yuelong remained silent about it. Gan Yuelong even told Shen Yuelan that there was no such person as Lingji in the world and asked her not to mention it again.

But every little thing that happened in the past few days and the huge amount of money that almost filled the warehouse of Quanxin City Bank reminded Shen Yuelan that Ling Ji existed, she had been here, and every fairy here remembered her.

I don’t understand. This feeling of powerlessness and not knowing where to start is really suffocating.

For this purpose, Shen Yuelan even made a long-distance call to Bei, hoping to find out what was going on from this knowledgeable culprit.

But how could Bei, who was billions of light years away, know the cause and effect of this place? Shen Yuelan was desperate and was trying every possible means.

[Alan, I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious. Since Gan Yuelong asked you not to mention this matter again, then just keep silent for a while. She will not harm you.]

[As for the Ghost Emperor you mentioned, based on my understanding of the Silver Federation, as long as you don't reveal your identity, they probably won't do anything to her. They will just imprison her and constantly coerce and bribe her so that she can stab me in the back at the critical moment.]

[So, as long as you are fine, she will be fine. Once your identity is exposed, she will be useless to the Silver Federation. That is when she will really die.]

[Oh, that's it. I know. The main responsibility for this matter lies with me. If I hadn't believed in my sixth sense and hadn't been paranoid that you might be giving me something and had to join in the fun, she wouldn't have chosen to get involved in this mess at this time.]

Bei showed a strange look on her face when she heard this, because she did ask the delegation to bring something to Shen Yuelan, but that thing was still being detained in the Silver Federation and had not yet been released.

[Hiss, I don't know when you, Alan, have such an ability to know my movements at the same time? Is this the legendary telepathy? I did ask the envoy to send something to you, but it was detained by the Silver Federation and the envoy. ]

[But if it had been planned normally, the thing would have been in your hands in the next two days, so, in this sense…Alan, you are not wrong. The one who committed the sin from the beginning to the end was the Silver Federation.]

[Thank you Beibei, I feel much better now that you said that.]

[Bei... Beibei? What... what's this new nickname? It sounds weird. Oh, forget it, call me whatever you want. Anyway, Alan, don't always take all the responsibility on yourself. That will easily drive you crazy.]

[Speaking of which, as the scandal auction is coming to an end, those bastards from the Silver Federation have finally agreed to let the delegation pass. I think it won’t be long before you receive the gift. I hope you like it.]

[I like it. I like everything you give me. If you can kill Silver Federation, I will like it even more.]

[Hahaha, I will try my best. By the way, did Miss Sleeping Beauty take your little fox to the territory of the Silver Federation? ]

[Ah? Sleeping Beauty? Oh, you mean Su Chang, right, that's right, the Yuelong is the technology of the Silver Federation after all, we want to go there to steal some skills and learn how to repair the Yuelong.]

[Eh? Really? But why did I hear that the two of them were secretly helping the Silver Federation transport strategic materials to the front line where we were fighting?]

[Don't tell me that this is their personal behavior. I know Miss Sleeping Beauty better. She is loyal to you and loves you sincerely. How could she not tell you before doing it?]

[Ahahaha, you are clearly here to call me to task, and you are still testing me. Really, I can't do anything about it. Money is a bit tight lately, and I can't go through the Silver Federation to get to you, so I can only make some extra money over there.]

[Really? At worst, after they achieve their goals, I can let them cooperate with you and play a stabbing game.]

[Humph, that's what I've been waiting for you to say. Don't worry, after this battle, the Bei Empire will be able to border the inner world. At that time, you can do whatever you want.]

[Okay, okay, I wish our empress a successful start and great power throughout the world. ]

After finishing the conversation with Bei, Shen Yuelan felt lost. Although Ling Ji was a little strict with her, she also made Shen Yuelan feel the parental care for the first time in a long time.

She would control herself and scold herself, but she would also care about herself and enlighten herself. Shen Yuelan had not experienced this feeling for a long time since Lao Zhao's death.

No matter how bad her mood was, life had to go on. Shen Yuelan planned to go to the auction venue. She understood Gan Yuelong's intention of not letting her mention Ling Ji again. It was simply that a scapegoat had already been found for this matter, so she just had to continue to live quietly.

But Shen Yuelan felt aggrieved by doing so, and she planned to do something secretly to make the people of the Silver Federation look bad, but she still needed to collect some information on how to do it.

Chapter 265 Image Reversal

Of course, she certainly wouldn't dare to show up at the venue blatantly now. Who knows if those dog spies have any special means to monitor the relationship between her and Bei.

Therefore, Shen Yuelan specially asked Gan Yuelong to take over the venue service work for a day. She hid in the private room and ordered the Song imperial guards to transform into waiters and spread out throughout the venue to collect intelligence in the hope of finding something useful.

Looking at Shen Yuelan's busy figure, Gan Yuelong shook his head helplessly. The best time to collect intelligence is when all the people have just arrived at the scene and are unfamiliar with the place. Now they are about to leave, so how can they get anything useful?

But Shen Yuelan, the silly girl, just wouldn't listen, and insisted, "What if there are fish that slip through the net?" Gan Yuelong couldn't persuade her, and the auction items in recent days were all scandals of some small forces, so the venue was relatively peaceful, so she just let her go.

Gan Yuelong's attention at this moment was all attracted by the fairy-like little creature on Shen Yuelan's head. Hiss, this fairy is quite interesting. I don't know when the little girl bought it.

[When did you get this fairy? It's actually a medical fairy. Fairies of this profession are not cheap in the market, right? ]

[Ah, you mean Qing Yi? I didn't buy her. I brought her back from the Fairy Watch World a while ago. If I really wanted to buy her, I might not be able to afford it.]

[Is that so? Oh my, so cute. I want one now. How do you solve their hostility problem? I heard that if this aspect is not solved, the problem will be very serious and defection is also common. ]

[Hmm? I didn't do much? I just treated Qingyi and the others to a meal. I got Qingyi from the fairy tribe not far from the hunting park.]

[Their tribe has been greatly influenced by the park, and their understanding of the inner world is relatively complete, so their hostility towards us is not that serious. As long as we gain their approval, it will be very easy to bring them back.]

While Shen Yuelan was telling about her own experience, she did not forget to feed Qingyi some fruits. Shen Yuelan usually responded to every request of this little ancestor, and it could even be described as flattering. After all, at the critical moment, she had to rely on her to save her life.

Fortunately, Qing Yi is also a very sensible fairy. She will only make some requests to Shen Yuelan when she really needs it. This sense of propriety makes Shen Yuelan like her even more.

[Is that so? Then I'll go find a fairy that suits my taste when I have time. Oh my, this little thing looks pretty cute.]

Shen Yuelan did not say much about this. You know, Qing Yi and other fairies were not very cute when they first arrived. They were all pale and thin, as thin as bamboo poles. No, bamboo poles were even thicker than them.
