Qiu Lian stepped forward, dipped his brush in ink, and wrote on the scroll:

The sky is clear and the clouds are gathering, and the breeze is blowing from the south to the north.

A garden of lotus flowers is bright and beautiful, and their fragrance fills the moonlit tower.

I still remember the first time I saw Hongtai: indigo like mountains, a sea of ​​mist and fog. I saw Su Nu, thinking of her day and night, the clear oath of love.

The years are prosperous and the wild geese fly back and forth from east to west.

The youthful years of spring and autumn are wasted, and now I dance in the sky with my robes lowered.

Today, under the red candle, the beautiful woman weeps in the dew, the rain moistens the lotus. We rub our hairs together, looking back and forth, it is true that "life is like a dream".

When Qiu Lian put down her brush, Shi Jiuniang read it carefully, her face flushing. She bit her jade handkerchief with her white teeth, glanced at Qiu Lian and said, "Were you really thinking about me day and night back then?"

"How could it be false?" Qiu Lian smiled and embraced Shi Jiuniang, saying, "To marry a celestial beauty like you is the blessing I have cultivated for three lifetimes."

Upon hearing this, Shi Jiuniang immediately showed a sweet and innocent smile on her face. She leaned in Qiu Lian's arms, quietly gazing at the picture of flowers and butterflies in front of her.

A breeze blew by, filling the garden with the fragrance of flowers, but Shi Jiuniang's body trembled slightly, and her face immediately became solemn.

"My dear, what's wrong with you?" Qiu Lian asked hurriedly when he felt his wife trembling in his arms.

Shi Jiuniang came out of Qiu Lian's arms and said softly, "Husband, I'm a little cold."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Lian immediately said, "Please wait a moment, my lady. I'll go to the front yard to get you some clothes."

After saying that, Qiu Lian quickly left the Hundred Flowers Pavilion and disappeared among the lush flowers in less than a moment.

After Qiu Lian left, Shi Jiuniang immediately turned around and her eyes fell on a cluster of flowers behind the pavilion.

I saw the cluster of flowers swaying in the wind, and then a fairy light flashed by. Fang Jian was wearing a Qingxia Yudou Qilin robe, holding a fragrant folding fan, and looking at Shi Jiuniang quietly.

When Shi Jiuniang saw Fang Jian's Qingxia Yudou Qilin robe, her pupils shrank immediately, and then she bowed and said, "Shi Jiuniang pays homage to the Supreme God?"

Fang Jian returned the greeting with a bow, then said calmly, "Is it Shi Jiuniang? Or is it Nineteenth Dragon Girl?"

Shi Jiuniang frowned, but didn't say anything. She just looked at Fang Jian quietly.

Fang Jian said, "As the Dragon Girl of the East China Sea, and possessing the true immortality, don't you know the heavenly law that immortals and mortals cannot unite?"

"My husband and I love each other and have treated each other with respect since we got married. I have never displayed my magical powers in front of mortals, so it does not violate the rules of the mortal world. Please see for yourself, God." Shi Jiuniang bowed to Fang Jian.

Fang Jian said, "Immortals and mortals cannot marry. Since you are a dragon girl, you cannot marry a mortal. I am only speaking to you in a gentle way, as I understand that you have never violated the rules of the mortal world."

Fang Jian held up three fingers and said, "I'll give you three days to sever your mortal ties and return to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea to practice in seclusion. I'll forgive you for what happened. Otherwise, the laws of heaven will be merciless!"

Shi Jiuniang frowned, then bowed and said, "God, my husband and I are destined to be together. How can we just break it off? Please have mercy on me. I only wish to accompany my husband through this life. After he reincarnates a hundred years later, I will return to the East China Sea and never enter the mortal world again!"

"Shut up!" Fang Jian shouted, frightening Shi Jiuniang to the point of trembling. Then, Fang Jian continued, "Immortals and mortals have different paths, each with its own destination. This is determined by Heaven, and how can it be changed? As the Dragon Girl of the East China Sea, a Dragon Immortal of the Heavenly Court, you should be cultivating diligently to attain the highest fruit. How could you indulge in love and recklessly enter the mortal world?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Jiuniang immediately retorted, "The Heavenly Law only stipulates that Celestial Officials cannot marry mortals. Although I am a dragon girl, I hold no official position. I have been in the mortal world for four years and have done no evil, nor have I interfered with the laws of the mortal world. Isn't it a bit unreasonable for the Supreme God to force me like this?"

Fang Jian nodded upon hearing this and said, "That's why I didn't arrest you right away, but instead tried to persuade you with kind words. You claim you haven't interfered with the laws of the mortal world, but you're wrong. The Jimo City God reports that you create clouds and rain whenever Jimo City is experiencing drought. Is this true?"

"Yes," Shi Jiuniang said, "The world is suffering from drought and the crops have failed. If locusts swarm again, the people will starve to death. God, am I wrong to send rain?"

Fang Jian said: "Of course it's wrong."

"What's wrong?" Shi Jiuniang asked unconvinced.

Fang Jian said, "The sun waxes and wanes, the moon waxes and wanes. Even the sun and the moon wax and wane, let alone the mortal world? Floods and droughts are natural laws of nature. How can there be a place in the world with abundant weather and no floods or droughts every year? You brought rain during a drought, which violates the natural laws of nature. As a True Immortal, don't you even understand this principle?"

Shi Jiuniang said, "Isn't the purpose of establishing immortal officials in Heaven to protect the lives of the people, ensuring good weather and good harvests on earth, and ensuring that all people can live and work in peace and contentment?"

Fang Jian said, "But you must know that wind and rain are all predetermined, and floods and droughts cannot be controlled by humans. The Heavenly Court governs the three realms, and blesses the world with rain when it is due and drought when it is due. If the world is always prosperous and peaceful, that is not a good thing, but a disaster. Besides, you are not the God of Rain, how can you act recklessly?"

Shi Jiuniang was about to argue again, but Fang Jian pointed at her with his fragrant crisp fan and said, "Don't say anything more. The heavenly rules are here. No matter how much you say, it's useless. I only give you three days. Give me an answer in three days. If you don't reply, you will bear the consequences yourself."

After saying that, Fang Jian turned into a wisp of green smoke and left, leaving Shi Jiuniang standing there. She stomped her feet in the direction Fang Jian left and snorted angrily.
