Hell Emperor

Chapter 8 Sister Lan
While Nan Linghe posted the notice, Ye Jie also walked into a magnificent, neat and elegant restaurant.

Stepping into this restaurant is like stepping into a palace that does not belong to this world. The tall gatehouse is engraved with exquisite reliefs, the marble floor is glowing with crystal clear light, the walls are hung with dragons and phoenixes, and the calligraphy of literati is displayed in the windows. Wearing beautifully shaped painted porcelain.

The floor of the restaurant is hollowed out, and the center of the first floor is made of smooth jade stones, which are built into three-foot-high steps. On the stage, there are flocks of orioles, dancing sleeves, singing, dancing and playing music.

"I want to book a private room for the three of us to have dinner at noon tomorrow."

Arriving at the front desk of Aunt Meng's Wine Country, Ye Jie spoke.

The decoration of the restaurant is so luxurious and lavish, which also means that a meal must cost a lot of money, which makes his already low moral character even worse.

Then I thought about it, who made him promise to treat Guizamei to dinner? However, he took advantage of this opportunity to get the last recommendation order for Nan Linghe from Gui Chamei.

"There will be three people in the private room tomorrow. For the private room, the minimum purchase is 3,000 Yin De. Please leave a deposit in advance. If it is not enough, we will make up for it tomorrow."

"Three thousand Yin De..." Ye Jie took a deep breath and had no choice but to leave three thousand Yin De as a deposit. After the 3,000 deposit was gone, he only had 1,200 Yin De left, which was less than Nan Linghe's Yin De. How could he exchange a good technique for his disciple Xia Wei?

While he was worried, Ye Jie's eyes suddenly fell on the maid at the front desk, and he saw that the person had round hair and a round face. She was wearing an elegant azure off-shoulder skirt, with a light yellow transparent silk gauze hanging on her shoulders, and her fair jade arms were holding Wu Xia. Ivory Pipa's eyes looked tired and haggard, as if he was recovering from a serious illness.

Seeing this person, Ye Jie cupped his fists and said, "It turns out to be Sister Lan. What a coincidence. Seven days ago, my friend Short-lived Sun wanted to hear you play a pipa to see you off when he re-entered reincarnation. Come on. I was looking for a good omen, but it’s a pity that I didn’t get it.”

Sister Lan smiled apologetically: "I let her down... Now, as long as I play the pipa, the sound of the pipa will reveal only endless bitterness and sorrow. The guests will burst into tears and lose their appetite after listening to it. It is not in line with the wine country." The cheerful and joyful atmosphere is totally unfit for stage performance.”

Ye Jie asked with concern: "Sister Lan, how are you? Last time I heard from Guazi that you seemed to be seriously ill. If anything happened to you, it would be a big loss to the wine country..."

Sister Lan raised her eyes and smiled calmly: "My body is fine, but the disease I have is a heart disease."

"Appreciate further details."

Sister Lan put down her pipa, crossed her fingers, and her memory seemed to return to the past: "I was born in a poor family, so my parents lived frugally and sent me to a music studio to learn music. When I was twenty years old, in order to I broke through the second level of Shinto Spirit-Building Realm, forced my kung fu, and even went crazy. My heart was broken and I died. I didn’t have time to repay my parents for their upbringing. I pity my parents, they only have me as a daughter..."

As she spoke, Sister Lan's eyes also filled with dim tears: "Now, another ten years have passed. A few days ago, I suddenly felt something in my heart. I always felt that there was no reason for sadness. It seemed that my parents were about to pass away... ...It's a pity that they gave birth to an unfilial daughter like me. Every time I think about this, my heart is filled with sorrow. The sound of the piano will convey the deepest emotions of the performer, and I'm afraid I won't be able to perform again in the future."

Ye Jie thought deeply: "In this case, why don't you return Yang Tuomeng, go see your parents for the last time, and tell them everything you want to say in your heart?"

Sister Lan raised her hands to wipe away her tears: "I tried. I went back to my old house to look for them, but they moved away shortly after my death, and now there is no news. The sea of ​​people is huge, even if ghosts can use shrink The earth and rocks move freely, and trying to find my parents among billions of living beings is no different than finding a needle in a haystack." Ye Jie was silent for a long time, and after a while, he suddenly said: "Maybe, I can help you."

"You?" Hearing this, Sister Lan smiled politely, "You are just a ghost at the early stage of the second level, and your strength is not as good as mine. How are you going to help me? In order to find the whereabouts of my parents, I asked the fourth level black and white impermanence for help, but I still can't help you." Nothing.”

At the end of the day, Sister Lan didn't give any hope, but still whispered: "However, you do have a way to help me. You are called Gui Cha Jie, right? In the future, when you perform tasks, Please pay more attention to the two names "Yugui" and "Zhang Xun", they are my parents.

Ye Jie didn't think so: "What if I said, I have a way to find the exact whereabouts of your parents?"

Seeing that Ye Jie was still stalking her, Sister Lan's eyes became cold and cold. As one of the seven chief maids in the wine country, many ghost servants were very attentive to her, including four. They all claimed to be able to find the whereabouts of Sister Lan's parents, which ignited Sister Lan's hopes again and again, but then her hopes were shattered again and again, making her already sad heart even more riddled with holes.

There is no doubt that Ye Jie must be the one with the lowest strength among the ghosts who came to show their courtesy. Seeing this, Sister Lan couldn't help but feel a little amused. A mere ghost at the early stage of the second level dared to talk nonsense in front of her. She was really being underestimated.

"So, if you really find my parents, what reward do you want?" Sister Lan shook her head.

"Ten thousand virtues, or a skill." Ye Jie then spoke and revealed the reward he had thought about for a long time.

"Oh?" Hearing this, even Sister Lan was slightly startled. Those ghost servants who came to show their courtesy either said they didn't want anything in order to show their grace, or they just said sweet words, which was as annoying to her as flies. This is the first time I've seen someone like Ye Jie who has clearly stated the price and doesn't want to have a romantic relationship, but only wants to be virtuous.

"My time is very precious." Sister Lan opened her red lips lightly and said in a cold tone, "The price of one of my songs used to be 8,800 Yin De. If you waste my time, just treat it as if you have one of my songs." How about you give me eight thousand yin virtues for a piece of music, and I’ll wipe out the change for you?”

Logically speaking, most people who are just talkative people would give up after hearing such a price. To Sister Lan's surprise, Ye Jie not only did not back down, but instead patted his chest and said, "You won't." If you are disappointed, leave it to me!”

Seeing this, Sister Lan also became interested. She took out a white dragon jade pendant from her arms, her eyes were slightly closed, and soon she saw the shark-toothed and triangular-eyed maid melon seeds shrinking into inches and moving over.

Same as the last time I saw her, Guazi's eyes were dull and she still had a world-weary look that was worse than death. The thick dark circles around her triangular eyes made it seem like she hadn't slept a wink for several years, and she didn't know what she had gone through.

Feeling the pressure of the fifth-level Immortal Realm, Ye Jie couldn't help but take half a step back and said helplessly: "Is it necessary to alert the judge-level existence about this matter?"

"Now you know you are afraid?" Sister Lan glanced at Ye Jie, "You are not afraid of me, but you are still afraid. What if you play some trick and abduct me into the wilderness? With melon seeds to help, let me see what you can come up with. The waves are coming.”

At the end of the sentence, Sister Lan did not forget Ye Jie's embarrassment when they were in the private room. She snorted and said jokingly: "The contract has been completed, and there are melon seeds as witnesses. Now it's too late for you to regret it. If you don't have enough virtue, just Just stay in the kitchen and wash dishes in the wine country."
