Chapter 63 What kind of monster am I?
To be honest, Wei Changtian was actually very surprised by Xu Qingwan's attitude at first.
He has only been here for more than a month, and his ideas have not yet completely changed. He still always feels that men and women must go through a process of dating to get to know each other before talking about marriage.
Are your personalities compatible? Are your living habits compatible? Are your nightlife and relationships incompatible? Even if none of these are necessary, it still takes some time to develop feelings.
So just now he just said "I am interested in Qingwan", but he didn't expect that when Xu Qingwan and Zhou Cheng heard this, it became "I want to marry her".
But after thinking about it for a while, Wei Changtian understood.
This era is different from the past. Marriage matters basically follow eight words - parents' orders and matchmaker's words. In most cases, men and women become husband and wife after only meeting a few times.
Even if two people have feelings for each other privately, there is no such thing as dating first to try it out. They will definitely go straight to the process of proposing, getting engaged, and getting married.
There are also cases where people want to have a romantic relationship without getting married, but they usually happen in brothels.
So for a girl like Xu Qingwan who came from a respectable family, since she had said so, all she had to consider was whether she was willing to get married.
Right now the answer is clear – yes.
Comrade Xiao Xu is willing to marry, and Wei Changtian is undoubtedly willing to marry her, but he is a little worried about one thing.
Now there are already three women in his yard, and there is also Yang Liushi outside. If Xu Qingwan is added...
Hiss, I don’t know if my body can bear it in the future.
…
…
The distance between Nanling County and Beijing is about the same as that between Shanyang County and Beijing, except that one is in the south and the other is in the north.
At dusk, the three of them arrived at Nanling, but did not enter the city. Instead, they continued south along the official road and drove for another quarter of an hour before slowly stopping outside a landlord's compound.
"Whoa!"
The driver parked the carriage and turned around to ask, "My lords, don't you want me to inform the county government?"
"Not now. We can let them finish the job after we kill the monster."
Wei Changtian gave an instruction and got out of the car first, walked straight to the gate of the courtyard and knocked on the door.
"Squeak~"
Soon the side door slowly opened, and a servant poked his head out, looking at the tiger-dragon costumes worn by Wei Changtian and the other two with some confusion.
"Who are you three? What brings you to my Zhang residence?"
Ordinary people don't often see people from the Xuan Jing Si, so it is normal that they don't recognize them.
Zhou Cheng stepped forward and showed his badge: "We work for Liu Ye of Xuan Jing Division, and we are here to exorcise the demon today."
"Xuan, Xuan Jingsi..."
The servant stammered for a moment, and without thinking, he quickly made way for the door: "I'll go and let them know... No! I'll take the three adults to see the master right now!"
"Please lead the way."
None of the three were the type to put on airs, so after a polite word, they followed the trembling servant toward the inner courtyard, taking in the scenery in the courtyard along the way.
Different from the mansions of the wealthy families in the capital, this mansion is obviously much larger, but its scenery and layout are far inferior to those in the capital.
How should I put it...it's a bit like a farmhouse with pretty good decoration.
After walking along the gravel road for about an incense stick of time, a servant had already gone in to report, so the three of them soon saw a middle-aged man with a big belly and shifty eyes.
The man was coming towards this side with his big belly, but Zhou Cheng's eyes suddenly flashed and his hand slowly touched the handle of the knife.
"Brother Wei, this is the rat demon you mentioned!"
"???"
Wei Changtian was stunned, then looked up at the man opposite him, and then couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Hahaha, Brother Zhou, you don't have to be so nervous. He is not a monster."
"Besides, how can a beast with low intelligence like the rat demon transform into a human form after only forty years of cultivation?"
“That… is also true.”
Zhou Cheng reacted after hearing what he said and moved his hand away from the knife a little embarrassedly.
The fat landlord in front of him was definitely not a demon, at least not a rat demon.
Because there is a rule for the transformation of monsters, which depends to a large extent on their own intelligence level.
Take Yang Liushi for example. She actually only had less than fifty years of Taoist practice. However, because of her fox demon's high IQ, or spiritual intelligence, she was able to transform into a human form very early.
Another example is the fifty-year-old ape demon. Although it still looks like an ape, it has obviously acquired human intelligence in a fight. If it doesn't die, it will probably be able to successfully transform within ten years.
As for monsters with low intelligence such as rats, ants, snakes and insects, they basically don't have to think about transforming in this lifetime unless there is some incredible opportunity.
Glancing at the slightly embarrassed Zhou Cheng, Wei Changtian patted him on the shoulder and deliberately joked, "Brother Zhou, don't judge people by their appearance."
"If I can judge based on my appearance and temperament alone, then wouldn't I also be a demon?"
"Um?"
Zhou Cheng was confused: "Brother Wei, what do you mean by that? What kind of monster are you?"
"That's naturally..."
Wei Changtian paused, turned his head and looked at Xu Qingwan: "Qingwan, what kind of demon am I?"
Xu Qingwan thought for a moment, then gave a serious answer: "Dragon demon."
Zhou Cheng: “…”
Wei Changtian: “Hahahaha!”
Two people scattered food and one dog ate it. The three of them soon walked up to the fat landlord.
The landlord in front of him did not dare to ask what they were talking about. He just smiled and said, "I am Zhang Dajin, a commoner. Nice to meet the three Silver Leaf Masters!"
"Huh?"
Wei Changtian glanced at him and said, "Master Zhang has a good eye."
"I dare not."
Zhang Dajin wiped the sweat from his forehead, bent over and smiled awkwardly: "It's just that I was fortunate enough to see a Lord Yinye handling a case before."
"Um."
Wei Changtian didn't dwell on this topic and went straight to the point: "Master Zhang, we received news that there is a monster hiding in your house, so we came here specially to get rid of it."
"I understand! I understand!"
Zhang Dajin nodded repeatedly: "The three adults please go inside and sit for a while, I will present the monster to you right away."
"Hmm? You have captured the rat demon?"
Wei Changtian was very surprised for a moment.
That's not right. According to the novel, no one in this mansion should know about the existence of the rat demon! And now it has been caught?
What's the real purpose behind this?
Wei Changtian walked into the room with doubts and sat down, then he saw Zhang Dajin coming over quickly holding a small wooden box.
"Sir, the monster is here."
"???"
No, no matter how small the rat demon is, it can't be put into this little thing! Wei Changtian took the wooden box suspiciously and opened it slowly and carefully...
But when he saw the three demon pills neatly stacked in the box, his mind suddenly became clear.
Good fellow! You thought we were here to collect protection money?!
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, while Zhang Dajin, who had always misunderstood, nervously introduced: "Sir, there are really no rat monsters here."
"These three demon pills come from a deer demon, a bear demon, and a snake demon. They are all about thirty years old."
"I, what I mean is...why don't you three try to eliminate a different monster this time?"
