Chapter 146 Fighting
Shen Yueyao called Jin'er and whispered something in her ear.
After the Queen finished talking to the Master, she focused her attention on her.
There were a few timid concubines behind her who didn't dare to look up at her. They just lowered their heads and shrugged their shoulders, fearing that they would be eaten if they just took one look at her.
Seeing that she didn't seem to be in a hurry, Li Ning felt relieved and stood aside to watch the show.
Shen Yueyao took two steps forward, and the people around her took two steps back. Lady Meng pulled Zheng Cairen to stand beside her and said.
"Sister Shen, I believe you. You are definitely not a monster. You have good cards and a good character. This monk must have played some tricks on you."
Shen Yueyao looked at her with admiration. It was rare to meet someone with brains. Although the reason was a bit far-fetched, she appreciated the kindness.
She smiled and said, "It's not in vain that I played mahjong with you. Today I'll invite you to watch a show."
Lady Meng's eyes lit up and she asked hurriedly.
"What drama?"
Jin'er came over with a tray, on which were placed a stack of yellow paper, whitish water, a brush, a torch, and some sawdust and other items.
Shen Yueyao walked forward with light steps and clasped her hands together.
"Master, since you have determined that I am a demon, these mortals will certainly not dare to touch me. I see that you have great magical powers, so how about we compete in magic power?"
Master Kongzhi looked at her a little bewilderedly. What kind of method is this?
Seeing that he was a little confused, Shen Yueyao sneered in her heart, "How dare you come out and act like a charlatan? You might as well go home and play in the mud."
She looked at him with her big eyes and asked.
"How is it, Master?"
Kong Zhi gathered his spiritual sense and subconsciously looked at the person behind the Queen. Concubine Song Rong felt guilty being stared at and said angrily.
"Why are you looking at me? In my opinion... Master has great magical power and can definitely defeat her."
The queen's face suddenly turned gloomy and she glanced at the person behind her with a warning look. She shrank her neck in fear and said nothing more.
Master Kongzhi looked at Shen Yueyao for a few seconds and said with a stiff face.
"Monster, what do you want?"
Shen Yueyao curved her lips into a smile and looked at him with cold eyes.
"Master, don't be so nervous. Even if I want to eat a human, I have to find a good-looking bite, right? It's not your turn yet."
She turned and said to Lady Meng.
"Take one, and I can tell whether you were a human or an immortal in your previous life. Do you believe me?"
Lady Meng shook her head and said, "My second brother said that there are no ghosts or gods in this world, most of them are just weird and supernatural."
Shen Yueyao nodded and smiled, "Second Master Meng is a gentleman, just treat him as a toy and give it a try."
Lady Meng nodded happily, took out a piece of yellow paper, and said softly.
"All right."
Lady Shu had been a little bit expectant, but before it was her turn, she found out the word "妖" (demon) on Concubine Shen's paper, and she was scared out of her wits.
But when she calmed down and thought about it, how could Shen Jieyu be a monster? They had chatted together before. If all monsters were like her, then there was nothing to be afraid of.
She swallowed and stood up timidly to ask.
"Can I get one too?"
Shen Yueyao smiled faintly and said, "Of course."
Li Ning paused and walked forward to take one. Shen Yueyao frowned slightly.
That one...is not for her.
Forget it, let it be.
Shen Yueyao gave Jin'er a look, and Jin'er presented the case to Kong Zhi.
"Master, please take one too."
Kong Zhi's palms were already sweating. He raised his hand and hung it over the table for a long time, then pulled out a card from the middle.
Shen Yueyao curled the corners of her mouth and picked up the brush and dipped it in water.
"Let's start with Lady Meng."
She walked over, picked up the brush, and painted a few times on the paper in Lady Meng's hand. Just like winning a lottery ticket, the word "fairy" suddenly appeared on the paper.
Lady Meng was shocked. Even though she didn't believe in ghosts and gods, she was still excited when she saw the two words above.
"T-There are real words on this! Fairy? I was a fairy in my previous life."
Lady Shu brought the yellow paper to Shen Yueyao and looked at her expectantly.
"What about me? What about me?"
Shen Yueyao raised her eyebrows, smeared the brush back and forth on the paper twice, and smiled.
"Look."
Lady Shu's eyes lit up and she giggled.
"Little Lucky Star, I am Little Lucky Star."
Everyone was infected by the beautiful Shu Huanxi's laughter. They all stretched their necks to look over there, and regretted in their hearts that they did not go over to get a piece of paper.
Li Ning also spread out the paper in her hand in front of her. Shen Yueyao looked at her, blinked a few times, and hesitantly put the brush on it.
When Li Ning saw the two words "地" appearing on the paper, her frosty face became even colder.
The three people present held their breath at the same time. Shen Yueyao smiled awkwardly and turned away angrily.
Li Ning glanced at Concubine Meng and Concubine Shu with a dominating look. They immediately lowered their heads and turned away, pretending that they saw nothing. They just stared at the papers in their hands, and they were all sweating for Concubine Shen.
Shen Yueyao walked straight up to the monk and smiled at him.
"It's time to master."
The brush fell on the yellow paper, and the words "evil monk" slowly appeared.
Shen Yueyao deliberately read it out loud.
"Ah? The evil monk!"
Everyone was in an uproar.
"This...isn't this the famous Master Kongzhi? How could he be a demon monk?"
"What the hell is going on?"
"..."
Concubine Song Rong stood up and said angrily: "You witch, what kind of magic did you cast?"
The queen glanced at her impatiently and she stepped back.
Shen Yueyao ignored her and only spoke to Kong Zhi.
"Master, can you do anything else? For example...breathe fire to ward off evil spirits? As the saying goes, a sorcerer who can't breathe fire is not a good sorcerer."
Kong Zhi's face flushed, his eyes widened, and he stared at her.
Shen Yueyao raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Why? You don't know how to do it? I'll teach you."
"Jin'er, light the fire."
Jin'er really took a torch and lit it, and Shen Yueyao coughed lightly a few times.
"Master, please watch carefully. I won't charge you tuition today. It is said that this fire-breathing can ward off evil spirits. If you need to ward off evil spirits, please come closer."
Everyone was shocked, and Lady Meng was even more bold as she walked up to her and said.
"Sister Shen, you can do this? You better be careful not to burn yourself."
Shen Yueyao smiled at her confidently, took the torch, and glanced at the case in Jin'er's hand.
She moved closer to the torch and blew suddenly. The fire was like a giant orange-red dragon spewing out of her mouth, shocking everyone.
Concubine Song Rong's jaw almost dropped as she spoke with a trembling voice.
"She, she, she really is a monster?!"
Shen Yueyao choked and coughed twice, then spread her hands towards Jin'er, who quickly handed her some tea for her to rinse her mouth.
This scene also fell into the eyes of the emperor who had just entered Yong'an Palace. He looked at her in surprise and asked Luo Zhong with a serious brow.
"What is she doing?"
Eunuch Luo rubbed his eyes and said, "Spray, spit fire."
