"Ao Yuan from the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, I'm here to meet Master Hongqing." As soon as Fang Jian returned to the sky above Jimo City, he saw a golden dragon with the power of a mysterious immortal flying in front of him, and then transformed into a mighty and handsome young man who stood in front of him and saluted.

Fang Jian returned the greeting and asked with a smile, "How long have you been in Jimo?"

Ao Yuan smiled and said, "My father sent me here after receiving the talisman from Master Hongqing. He asked me to assist Master Hongqing in capturing the Nineteen Dragon Ladies and bringing them to justice."

Fang Jian glanced down at Jimo City and asked, "Did your father really send you to capture the Nineteen Dragon Ladies and bring them to justice?"

Ao Yuan said seriously: "Yes."

After saying this, Ao Yuan hesitated and said, "Also, my father asked me to ask the real person, Nineteen... her crime shouldn't deserve the death penalty, right?"

Fang Jian heard this and said, "The Nineteenth Dragon Girl is not a Celestial Immortal Official, so her union with a mortal is a violation of the Heavenly Law of the Loose Immortals, which forbids immortals and mortals from marrying. Moreover, the Nineteenth Dragon Girl is a dragon, so she cannot marry a mortal, so her crime is not punishable by death."

"Good!" Ao Yuan was overjoyed, "As long as the crime doesn't deserve death."

After saying that, he looked at Fang Jian awkwardly and said, "Master Hongqing, please don't blame me. Nineteen is a Jade Dragon. It's not easy for my dragon clan to produce a Jade Dragon..."

Fang Jian waved his hand to show his understanding, then said, "Although her crime doesn't deserve death, she can't escape punishment. The Nineteenth Dragon Girl committed two grave crimes: one is the crime of combining immortals with mortals, and the other is the crime of sending rain without a decree. You should still remember the Dragon King of the Jing River, right?"

When Ao Yuan heard the name, he felt a chill run down his spine. The Dragon King of Jing River! Of course he remembered that he had tampered with the data of the Heavenly Court's rain-making edict and was beheaded by Wei Zheng, who was sent by Heaven.

"Although the Nineteenth Dragon Girl relieved the people of drought, she did so without a decree. This crime can be serious or minor, depending on her merits." Fang Jian said, "If her merits are over 100,000, it means her several rain-making operations have truly benefited the people, and she can be sentenced lightly. If her merits are less than 100,000, or even less than 50,000, she will be sentenced more severely."

When Ao Yuan heard this, he immediately became a little worried. He didn't know how much merit his sister had now.

If it was any other Heavenly Judge, he might be able to plead for mercy, but for this Taoist Master Hongqing, let it go.

"Then...what about the sin of combining immortals and mortals?" Ao Yuan asked.

Fang Jian said, "That's easy. She's not a Celestial Official ordained by Heaven, so I can give her two choices. As long as she chooses either one, she can be exempted from punishment."

"Oh?" Ao Yuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "May I ask Master Hongqing, what is your choice?"

Fang Jian said, "First, Qiu Lian will live with her in the Dragon Palace, and neither of them will be allowed to return to the human world for ten thousand years. Second, she will shed her dragon body and become a mortal, and then she can stay with Qiu Lian for the rest of her life."

...

In Jimo City, Yuzhu Garden, Shi Jiuniang looked at Qiu Lian tenderly, her eyes full of love.

Qiu Lian felt numb all over when his wife looked at him, but he was also a little confused. "Madam, what's wrong with you today?"

Shi Jiuniang murmured, "Husband, I have something very important to tell you."

Qiu Lian's expression froze for a moment, then she said softly, "Madam, what's the matter?"

"Husband, actually I am the nineteenth dragon girl of the East China Sea Dragon Palace..." Shi Jiuniang stared at Qiu Lian and said, her eyes closely watching Qiu Lian's expression.

Hearing this, Qiu Lian couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief and said, "So that's what happened. I thought you wanted to eat coriander for lunch again."

"..." Shi Jiuniang was stunned. She never expected her husband to react like this. Could it be that her love for cilantro was more serious than her being a dragon girl?

"My husband, I am a dragon girl, the daughter of the Dragon King of the East China Sea!!!" Shi Jiuniang reiterated.

Qiu Lian nodded and said, "I know. I know you are a dragon girl. Last time when you were bathing, your dragon tail was exposed. Fortunately, I suspected you were not human a long time ago, otherwise I would have been scared to death."

"What? You have suspected that I am not a human being for a long time? When?" Shi Jiuniang asked in a somewhat naive tone.

Qiu Lian sighed, "Remember the drought last year? I just told you about it before going to bed tonight, and when I woke up, it started raining. I was so sleepy at the time that I didn't even realize it was raining. I thought it was just the sound of my urination... I stood there for two hours in vain, and then I realized that I saw a dragon flying back to the bedroom and transforming into your appearance... When I woke up the next day, I thought I was dreaming, but this dream was too real."

Shi Jiuniang was stunned by what her husband said. What kind of thing is this?

"I've been waiting for you to tell me, Madam." Qiu Lian's eyes were filled with tenderness and love. "I've finally got what I wanted."

But Shi Jiuniang smiled bitterly and said, "My husband, I had no choice. Three days ago, a god from the heavenly court came and said that I had violated the laws of heaven by marrying a mortal, and he wanted to take me to be punished."

"What?! Is there such a thing?" Qiu Lian was furious when he heard it. He turned back to his room and took out his sword, then shouted, "Whoever dares to touch my wife, I will fight him to the death!"

"Pa pa pa." Just as Qiu Lian took out the sword, a sound of clapping came from the sky outside.

Shi Jiuniang and Qiu Lian immediately walked out of the house and looked up to see two handsome young men standing on the clouds.

Fang Jian marveled and said, "It's really touching. Praise to Namo the Bodhisattva of Love."

...

"This Fang Jian!" In the Purple Bamboo Forest of the South China Sea, Guanyin stroked her forehead and said speechlessly.

Opposite to Guanyin, a Bodhisattva sits on a lotus platform with a solemn appearance and a medicine basket on his waist. He is none other than Medicine King Bodhisattva.

"He owes me another Bodhisattva." Medicine King Bodhisattva said with a smile.
