"Looks like they're quite sensible, otherwise I would have had to use the next trick to deal with them." Xu Rurong yawned.
The ancient times were really rudimentary. He still wasn't used to the local schedule and went to bed very late every day. Then Luo Yong and County Magistrate Chen would wake him up early to work, which was really hard for him to handle.
"Your Excellency, there are still files to process!" Luo Yong could tell at a glance that the magistrate wanted to continue sleeping, so he reminded him from the side.
"Stop making noise, let Magistrate Chen handle this first!" Xu Rurong covered her head with the blanket and fell asleep in a second.
Luo Yong: "..."
…
Meanwhile, Wang Qing also finished her heart-to-heart talk with her parents.
"So, I'm actually the child of a demon and my master?"
She is still in shock because the news is simply too unbelievable.
How could a demon possibly have a child with a human? Besides, she's a perfectly normal human, without any demonic characteristics whatsoever!
"So, I'm also a demon?" Wang Qing asked, bewildered.
After exorcising demons for so many years, suddenly learning that I am also a demon is truly devastating!
"No, no, no, daughter, you are not a demon, you are a human!" The male demon quickly explained when he saw his daughter's dazed expression.
"As long as I'm here, I won't let you become a demon!"
The more he explained, the more confused he became, and finally he slapped his own mouth hard.
"Qingqing, come here." Wang Wan's voice was unusually gentle.
"Child, don't dwell too much on your background. No matter where you come from or who your parents are, you are still yourself."
"From now on, you will continue to cultivate with me, and everything will be the same as before."
Wang Qing was still in a daze: "But I am a demon! Those demons are all very hateful; they have harmed many humans!"
"We demon hunters are here to eliminate evil spirits, aren't we? If I were an evil spirit, how could I continue to hunt demons?"
"Who said we can't keep catching demons?" Wang Wan said, both amused and exasperated.
"Even your father, a pure demon, follows me to catch demons, so what about you?"
Wang Qing: (⊙o⊙)?
"Qingqing, there are differences between demons and evil spirits. Some demons and evil spirits can develop self-awareness. They will fight against their instincts, choose the life they want, and live in this world."
"What we need to eliminate is not all demons, but those evil spirits that harm the people and never repent until their deaths," Wang Wan said in detail.
"I didn't explain it to you clearly before because I thought you were too young. Now, does our Qingqing understand?"
Wang Qing nodded absentmindedly.
Wang Wan sighed and spoke again, "Actually, there's something else that Master hasn't explained to you yet."
"I am not actually from this world, but from another world where cultivation is possible."
"The cultivators there all take it upon themselves to exorcise demons. In fact, some of the things that cultivators do are more hateful than many demons."
"In this world, what is right and wrong, what is black and white? Even ferocious demons may have a soft side and help ordinary humans. Cultivators who seem aloof and arrogant may secretly extract the spiritual roots of an entire mortal city for their own use."
“Child, you just need to stick to your principles. We will not harm people unintentionally. We can protect ourselves and deal with evil spirits that harm the people. That’s enough.”
"Yes, yes, yes, Wanwan is absolutely right, that's wonderful!" The male demon couldn't wait to clap his hands.
After clapping, he was completely dumbfounded: "What? Wanwan, you said you come from another world? Will you go back? Will I never be able to find you again? Please don't leave again, okay? Waaah..."
Before Wang Qing could respond, she saw her wicked father crying uncontrollably, on the verge of collapsing.
"..."
"Mother, I understand!" She nodded vigorously.
Wang Wan nodded with satisfaction.
"Now that you understand, it's time for you to officially embark on the path of cultivation."
Wang Qing: "???"
She soaks in medicinal baths for three hours every day and exercises so hard, yet she hasn't officially started cultivating?
