"My lord, it's been a long time." Xie Yuntang smiled and bowed slightly to Jiang Yuan to show his respect.

"Thirty years have passed, and I've changed my appearance again, yet you still recognize me," Jiang Yuan said in surprise.

The two talked like old friends who hadn't seen each other in a long time.

"No matter how much the adults' appearance changes, Yunshang can still recognize them, after all..."

"No one else possesses such merits except you, sir."

Xie Yunshang replied.

The Little Yama King was surrounded by a radiant light of merit, making him hard to miss.

"Merit?" Jiang Yuan frowned.

Her merits were completely dissipated when she repaired the lamp spirit, so even if she has merits now, they should be very little.

because--

She could not sense the presence of the light of merit.

If she truly possessed so much merit, then she wouldn't have been so exhausted from dealing with a fox demon and a vengeful ghost that she fell asleep in Jiang Ningyuan's arms.

"Yes, Your Excellency's merits shine upon those around you. Even though Yunshang is some distance away from Your Excellency, she can still absorb Your Excellency's merits," Xie Yunshang nodded in reply.

Even when she didn't get close to Little Yama, she was still enveloped by the light of merit emanating from him.

Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow and activated her internal energy.

I still can't feel the merit that Xie Yunshang mentioned.

What's going on?

Before Jiang Yuan could figure it out, Xie Yunshang spoke up, "Thirty years have passed since we last parted. Yunshang thought she would never be able to thank you in person in this lifetime. I never expected that Yunshang would be able to meet you again after thirty years."

“I never imagined you would actually cultivate into a spirit, transform into a human, hide in the marketplace, and become a boss,” Jiang Yuan replied.

"Not the boss, but... the boss's wife." Xie Yunshang corrected him with a warm smile, her cheeks flushed.

A hint of surprise flashed across Jiang Yuan's eyes, "You're a demon, the other party..."

“He is a human being,” Xie Yunshang replied, as if she knew what Jiang Yuan wanted to say.

“He knows I’m a demon, but he doesn’t mind that I’m a demon,” Xie Yunshang continued, looking intently at Jiang Yuan.

"It's just that... I can't have a child for him."

“If I have a child with him, the child will be half human and half demon. Humans will ostracize him, demons will not tolerate him, and it will disrupt the order.”

Xie Yunshang spoke, her face filled with regret.

If she could, she really wanted to leave him with a child.

But no, that won't work.

Reason told her that she couldn't.

It will not only harm him, but also his own children in the future.

Fortunately, he respected her choice.

He said that if he didn't want to have children, he didn't have to. Anyway, his family didn't have a throne to inherit. He liked her, not the child.

However, she had also thought about it.

If you can't have a child with him, then adopt one.

In short, there are always more solutions than problems.

"What would you like to buy, sir?" Xie Yunshang realized she had gone off-topic and changed the subject.

When Little Yama entered and saw her, he was also surprised, indicating that she did not know she was there and that meeting her was accidental.

So, this means that Little Yama came to buy something.

Little Yama is extremely busy, so she must have taken time out of her schedule to come here. All she said was a waste of her time.

"Pen," Jiang Yuan replied, glancing around at the pens displayed on the shelf.

A dazzling array of pens caught Jiang Yuanyan's eye.

"Pen?"

"The master wants the pen because he wants..."

Xie Yunshang asked curiously.

If she remembered correctly, Little Yama had a pen in his hand.

That pen is really powerful.

“Draw a talisman,” Jiang Yuan replied.

The judge's pen hasn't fully grown yet; it can only be used to poke people and can't be used to draw talismans for the time being.

"Draw...draw a talisman?" Xie Yunshang was stunned.

Little Yama drawing talismans?

"I can't go back to the underworld now either, so I can only make a living by drawing talismans and telling fortunes," Jiang Yuan replied calmly when Xie Yunshang was surprised.

Xie Yuntang then realized that Jiang Yuan was now in a mortal body, unlike when they first met.

Recalling her first meeting with Little Yama, Xie Yunshang felt a pang of nostalgia and thought to herself how incredibly brave she had been back then.

Thirty years ago, she was a weathered red plum tree, but she gained wisdom and was able to speak.

The Little Yama King paraded through the underworld, with various underworld officials following closely behind.

A large group of people traveled through the human world to pray for blessings, eliminate karmic obstacles, and drive away evil spirits.

She immediately noticed the little Yama King at the head of the group.

At first glance, I was blinded by the light of merit emanating from her.

At that time, she wondered how many good deeds she must have done to have so much merit and light around her.

She exclaimed in surprise, which was overheard by the passing Yama King.

The Little King of Hell led his underworld officials to stand before her, staring at her for a long time.

Then, Little Yama raised his hand and broke off her branch.

She thought the little devil was going to kill her, so she recklessly started threatening him.

She remembered her saying, "You, you don't come any closer, I'm not afraid of you!"

As a result, Little Yama chuckled.

At that time, snowflakes were falling.

It landed on her bare branches, and on Little Yama.

The Little King of Hell's smile is like that of an unparalleled beauty.

It's said that gods have bad tempers because they often occupy high positions and look down on little demons and trees like them.

If I see them, I will destroy them.

She thought the same thing before she met Little Yama.

When the Little Yama plucked her flower branch, she truly believed that her words had angered him and that he was going to kill her.

But no.

Little Yama said that the red plum blossoms that bloom in winter are the most beautiful. It's a pity that this plant, which is so sturdy, can't bloom.
