Chapter 195 Peony Flower Demon
Chapter 195 Peony Flower Demon
Lin Xiaoxiao, a prostitute, came across a wilted white peony on the road. She felt pity for it and took it back to the brothel.
After daily watering and careful care, the peonies bloomed again in less than a month, their beauty overflowing with life.
It turned out that the peony had already cultivated into a spirit, but its cultivation was very shallow. Due to the recent drought, it could not absorb water and was almost dried up.
Fortunately, Lin Xiaoxiao took him home.
After a year, the flower demon was able to transform into a human form, but unfortunately, no one could see it.
Lin Xiaoxiao talked to her every day, "Jiaojiao, I'm going to be a marriage of marriage soon, and my mother will definitely arrange for me to receive customers. What should I do if I don't want to accept it?"
The flower demon had only a tiny bit of skill, and couldn't even defeat a human, let alone rescue Lin Xiaoxiao from the brothel. She could only droop her leaves, her head hanging, and looked unhappy.
Lin Xiaoxiao was excited, "Jiaojiao, can you understand what I'm saying?"
The peony leaves moved.
Later, a scholar, who looked like a decent man, told Lin Xiaoxiao that when he passed the imperial examination, he would redeem her and marry her. As he said this, he was about to kiss her.
The flower fairy was so anxious, "Xiaoxiao, don't listen to his sweet words, hand yourself over!"
But Lin Xiaoxiao, who was immersed in sweet talk, couldn't hear it. The flower demon pounced on the scholar and bit his hand as he was about to take off Lin Xiaoxiao's clothes.
The scholar felt pain, and Lin Xiaoxiao regained consciousness a little. Finally, she had no choice but to leave.
Not long after, the scholar came to see Lin Xiaoxiao again. This time, he wanted to borrow some silver. After another round of sweet talk, Lin Xiaoxiao gave him 100 taels of silver.
Three months later, the scholar passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi, but he still did not come to see Lin Xiaoxiao.
The flower demon knew that he had passed the exam, but because he was afraid that Lin Xiaoxiao would be sad, he did not tell her.
A few days later, the scholar suddenly came to find Lin Xiaoxiao, crying bitterly, "Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry, I betrayed your trust, I didn't pass the exam..."
Lin Xiaoxiao comforted him, "It's okay, there will be another chance in the future."
The scholar suddenly said, "Xiaoxiao, let's run away together. If you don't leave, your mother will definitely make you a guest."
The flower demon wanted to stop Lin Xiaoxiao, but she couldn't leave her body for too long. She watched helplessly as Lin Xiaoxiao took all her savings and followed the scholar away.
The next day, the flower demon heard the news of Lin Xiaoxiao's death. She said the scholar and she had committed suicide by jumping into the river. Unfortunately, Lin Xiaoxiao died. The scholar was still alive.
The flower demon was so angry that she turned from white peony into black peony. At night, the scholar sneaked into the brothel again to steal the remaining things of Lin Xiaoxiao.
Discovered by the flower demon, it still has low spiritual power and cannot kill the scholar.
So they secretly created various small accidents around the scholar. The scholar could not see anyone, but only saw the inexplicably flying handkerchiefs and letters, which scared him so much that he ran away crying.
After that, she fell seriously ill. Later, she met a wandering monk who said that it was an evil spirit causing trouble. He went to her house to capture the flower demon.
"I want my benefactor to live a good life, and I want this scholar to live in poverty and fail to pass the imperial examination!"
"As you wish!" After saying that, Jiang disappeared.
……
On this day, the brothel madam came to see Lin Xiaoxiao again. Seeing her playing the piano, she became more and more satisfied. "Tsk tsk, what a beautiful lady! It's worth it that I brought you back and spent so much money to train you for so many years."
Lin Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and said nothing.
"In three months, you'll be coming of age. When the time comes, I, your mother, will hold an Oiran competition just for you. You must perform well and win first place!"
Lin Xiaoxiao started performing in brothels at the age of 12, playing the piano, pipa, dancing, and doing everything. Although she was young, many people gave her tips.
If she reaches marriage age, she will be able to make a fortune by auctioning her virginity! The madam thought happily.
Jiang thought, isn't it? I'll definitely be able to auction you off for a good price then.
They put a drug that could make people look more beautiful and younger in the water that the madam drank.
The next morning, when the madam woke up and saw her own beautiful face, she was overjoyed.
Ginger transformed into a human form and walked over, "Wow, what a beautiful lady!"
"Who are you? How did you get in?"
The madam looked at Sheng Jiang, her eyes sparkling. "Little girl, do you know where I am?"
"Isn't this a brothel?"
"Yes, brothels are places that serve men. Since you are here, don't leave, stay and receive customers," the madam was very excited.
"Who said I'm here to pick up customers? Is it possible that I'm here to be the boss lady?"
"Just you?" The madam laughed as if she had heard a joke. "Someone come here!"
Two burly men came outside.
"Take her away and teach her a lesson!"
The two thugs surrounded Jiang and beat him to a pulp before they could even reach him. He fell to the ground and wailed.
Sheng Jiang looked at the startled madam and slowly walked towards her. "How many girls have you kidnapped and deceived in these years of running a brothel?"
"I'm not trafficking them! I'm giving them a home! After all, I raised them, so what's wrong with them earning some money for my retirement?"
"Bah! Why don't you just say you took them in? Then why don't you give those average-looking, disabled people a home? That's clearly kidnapping, raising them up and then selling them for a good price!"
Ginger said indifferently, "Call out all the thugs in the brothel!"
Madam: This girl looks like she's quite good at fighting, but isn't she a bit mentally retarded? I have at least a hundred thugs in my brothel.
After beating one or two, why didn't she run away? She actually asked me to call someone over? Okay, I don't believe she could get away with a hundred.
Soon, a group of people gathered in front of the madam's courtyard.
Sheng Jiang took out a 40-meter-long pig-killing knife and started chopping wildly. Soon, blood flowed like a river.
The madam was so frightened that she trembled and could not help but kneel on the ground, begging for mercy.
"Spare you? Did you spare those girls?"
Sheng Jiang lifted the madam's chin and said, "I think you're quite pretty. How about starting today and becoming the top prostitute in this brothel?"
"do not want!"
"What do you mean you don't want to? I think you are good at serving men. Besides, it's not like you haven't served men before."
Jiang's fighting power allowed her to quickly control the brothel and call all the women together, "Starting today, I will build another women's college.
Here, women can choose any profession, such as studying, doing business, embroidering, cooking, etc. Those who want to go home can take the money they earn back, while those who don't want to can stay and learn various skills.
The laws of the time stipulate that women can do these things. When you leave here in the future, you will have a skill to rely on.”
Of the group of women, only a few chose to go home. The majority chose to stay, helping with the work and learning skills.
The brothel was open as usual, but the prostitutes who served customers were usually those who framed others and wanted to ruin the innocence of other women. Sheng Jiang gathered them all and let them suffer the consequences of their actions.
The madam is still the top star.
Not long after, the scholar came to the brothel to seek pleasure, fell in love with the madam at first sight, and soon spent all the money he had saved for the exam.
He wrote sour poems to the madam in an attempt to win her heart, but the madam had seen countless men and naturally would not believe a man's sweet words.
It's okay to flirt with each other, but when it comes to money, there's no talk at all.
"Yue Niang, just consider it as helping me. When I get high school, I will come back to redeem you and take you home in a sedan chair carried by eight people."
"Don't even think about it!" The madam refused bluntly, "Don't think I don't know how fickle you men are. You've already taken the exam three times and failed.
Not only did he fail the exam, but he also didn't think about studying hard and waiting for the next exam. Instead, he went to the brothel to seek pleasure.
"You came here to have fun, but you're pretending to be so polite. Who are you trying to please? You wrote a few sour poems, and you expect me to use my savings to support your studies and exams? You're dreaming!"
An awkward expression flashed across the scholar's face. "Can what scholars do be called pleasure-seeking? It's called pretentiousness. Besides, which scholar hasn't visited a brothel?
Just like a very famous poet in a certain dynasty, who missed his deceased wife, saying "except for Wushan, there are no clouds", but at the same time he was still nostalgic for the brothel.
Yue Niang, you don't know, my teachers and classmates all praised my writing for being so good. If I were given another chance, I would definitely pass the exam!
I swear, when the time comes, I will definitely live up to you and marry you with honor!"
The madam was unmoved, "Bah! How can you believe what a man says? Even a sow can climb a tree! I've been in the brothel for so many years, what kind of people have I not seen?
You want to make promises for me and take advantage of me, but I think you are the one with the wrong idea!
Get out of here! "
"Don't tell me those nonsense, I don't understand. If you come here to spend money, I will definitely serve you well; if you want to borrow money from me, I won't say a word."
Scholar: "You! That's totally unreasonable!"
The scholar turned away in anger and didn't come to the brothel for a long time.
He must have borrowed a few taels of silver from someone and went to Beijing to take the imperial examination.
This time, I didn't have enough money. I had to live frugally every day and could only live in a dilapidated temple. I also had to write for others to earn a few coins every day. I had no time to study.
During this time, a wealthy family took pity on him and invited him to dinner. The scholar wrote another poem and deliberately let him see it.
The master saw that it was "The jade in the box seeks a good price, the hairpin in the box waits for the time to fly."
This man seems quite ambitious. I originally felt sorry for him and thought it would be okay to support him. But now he's so ambitious and arrogant. If he becomes successful in the future, the first thing he'll do might be to eliminate those of us who have witnessed his downfall.
He immediately decided to cut off all contact with the scholar and moved out overnight.
Scholar: ??? He gnashed his teeth in anger.
As expected, the scholar, who had to work hard to make a living every day and had no time to study, failed the exam.
Unable to stay in the capital, he had to return to his hometown.
Passing by the brothel, I thought of the madam again. Bitch! If you weren't unwilling to support me, I wouldn't be worried about making a living!
He came up with a plan. After saving money for a year, he finally saved enough money to have a chance to visit the brothel and meet the top prostitute.
At this time, the madam was already drunk and unconscious. In order to maintain his gentlemanly image, the scholar endured it and took care of the madam all night.
Even when the madam vomited on him, he was not angry at all.
The next morning, the madam woke up with a splitting headache. Seeing the scholar sleeping beside her bed, her clothes intact, she felt a surge of emotion. "You took care of me all night?"
The scholar nodded.
The madam suddenly thought, is this guy really stupid or just pretending?
"I heard you saved money for a year just to see me. Is it worth it?"
"worth"
The scholar asked about the madam's well-being for a while and then invited her to go out for a walk with him.
The madam has been fed up with all kinds of perverted customers over the past year, but she is always under surveillance and cannot leave.
Just then, a wealthy man asked her to go over and accompany a guest. This gave her a chance to go out. So she agreed to the scholar's request and took the opportunity to escape from the brothel.
Ginger pretended not to know and continued eating the melon.
The two of them hid until night, and when they reached the river, the scholar pushed the madam into the river.
Unexpectedly, the madam had been prepared and dragged him into the water as well. Neither of them could swim, so they were soaked overnight and died.
After death, they all awakened their past life memories. They all wanted to seek revenge on Sheng Jiang. But now they couldn't even enter the brothel. They could only wander outside, becoming lonely ghosts.
I happened to meet the wandering monk again.
The monk originally wanted to take them in directly, but when he heard the two men crying and telling him about their experiences, and begging him to avenge them, they were willing to do whatever he wanted with them.
"Master, you don't know who that woman is. Even the 100 or so thugs from my Chunfeng Tower couldn't beat her. Who in their right mind could do that?"
"Yes, Master. She must be a demon! You must capture her and rid the people of this evil."
The self-proclaimed righteous monk found Sheng Jiang and said, "How dare you, a wicked monster, bring disaster to the people?"
"Bringing disaster to the people?" Sheng Jiang sneered, "Bringing disaster to whom?"
"Oh, you mean those two people around you? That woman, where did all those women in the brothel come from? Didn't she trick them all into coming here?
That man, a scholar, pretentious and noble, yet lacking the backbone of a scholar. He wanted to take the imperial examination, but had no money, so he actually had to borrow from a woman? In his previous life, he had passed the exam, but fearing that his reputation would be damaged, he killed the benefactor who funded him.
In this life, no one supported him, and he failed the exam. He was actually resentful that no one supported him and still killed people.
"What right do such ungrateful people have to live? If they live, they will bring disaster to the people, right?"
Monk: "Everything in human affairs has its own cause and effect. But it is wrong for you to interfere."
"Then what are you doing now? Aren't you also interfering with other people's karma?"
"Bald donkey!" Sheng Jiang cursed, "Don't think I don't know. You just want my body, so that you can use it for your mortal wife, so that she can also prolong her life!"
"As a cultivator, you actually have such strong selfish desires. You deserve to never attain enlightenment in your lifetime!"
Sheng Jiang beat the monk up, then took out the purple gold gourd and sucked all three people in.
Each and every one of them is so evil, just wait to be slowly refined! They are not even worthy of reincarnation!
Just as I put away the gourd, Lin Xiaoxiao ran over with red eyes, "Jiaojiao, is that you?"
Sheng Jiang: Huh? Remembering your past life? He returned his body to the flower demon and left.
