Minglong

Chapter 24 Who are you calling your wife?
At night, the noise in the Princess's Mansion began to rise again:

"Eight ones..."

"I heard there's a young man coming to the government office. He's incredibly skilled in martial arts and very handsome..."

"Don't dream, that's Miss Linghu's dish..."

……

Inside the two courtyards outside the wall, it was dark and silent.

Xie Jinhuan sat cross-legged in his bedroom, his hands flat on his knees. Qi could be seen flowing around his body, and the slightly blown coal balls made their hair fluffy. Beside him was a newly bought copy of "Demons and Ghosts".

After the Lin family, both big and small, left in the afternoon, Xie Jinhuan went out for a walk again to inquire about the government's movements.

County Magistrate Yang did go to the Li Mansion and took away the eldest son Li Zixian. Yang Dabiao was also searching the city for possible behind-the-scenes evil bandits.

However, the threat level of the "Purple Emblem Monster" was too high, and the state government did not send many additional personnel. People from outside the city said that the township and county governments had already begun organizing laborers to search the mountain hand in hand.

Zihui Mountain stretches for more than 700 miles and is quite large. It will take time to search it completely, but since the government is willing to invest so much manpower, it is only a matter of time before the tomb robbers' camp is found in the mountains.

Xie Jinhuan fled the mountains in a hurry the day before yesterday. He was not sure if there were any objects left in the tomb robbers' camp. It would take a day and a night to go back and forth, and the mountains were full of people searching. He did not dare to go back rashly. Now he could only think of a way to "divert the trouble" and put the blame on the bandits or the Li family to divert the attention of the government office.

Because he ran into a demon bandit today, Xie Jinhuan bought a copy of "Strange Stories of Demons and Ghosts" while shopping.

The cover of this book is quite exquisite, with a picture of a fox demon with big breasts and fat buttocks.

Xie Jinhuan bought it and read it in order to learn about monsters.

It was soon discovered that the cover was just a gimmick to sell the book, and the contents were full of records about the period of the Witch Cult Rebellion.

Witchcraft was originally a fairly normal school of thought, involving the preparation of poisons, the refinement of witchcraft, the summoning of gods and the raising of ghosts. It was not something that was publicly acknowledged, but it was not something that would irritate the gods or the people either.

But a hundred years ago, there was a genius from the Corpse Witch Sect who turned to the path of demon cultivation and became a "ghost cultivator". He then relied on puppets to infinitely revive the dead and became what people called the "Corpse Ancestor".

In just a few years, the Corpse Ancestor killed one-third of the world and even destroyed the entire previous dynasty.

At that time, there were also heroes from other sects of witchcraft who came to fight against the Corpse Ancestor, but the Corpse Ancestor was a member of the witchcraft sect, and he had many lackeys under his command.

For this reason, when the Daqian Kingdom was founded, for security reasons, the entire witch cult was expelled to the wilderness to watch the monsters show their fangs, and they have not been able to recover until now.

Xie Jinhuan had learned about this history since he was a child because he wanted to kill the local natives. After searching for a long time but failing to find the vixen with big breasts and fat buttocks, he threw it aside.

While practicing at home, Xie Jinhuan discovered that the landlord's house had started to make a commotion again. In order to find some peace and quiet, he took the Zhenglun Sword again.
"Miss Night?"

"Goo?"

Meiqiu, who was rolling around bored, was so scared when he saw Xie Jinhuan summoning spirits again that he flew out of the bedroom immediately.

And the familiar charming and charming voice of the queen also sounded from behind:

"What? Can't sleep and need your sister to coax you?"

Xie Jinhuan looked back and saw the charming and lovely ghost in red, lying on her side with her hands supporting her cheek, looking at him with a teasing look.

Finding the 'Apia brand earplugs' very useful, Xie Jinhuan continued to sit cross-legged and gather his energy:
"What did you mean when you asked me during the day what it felt like to see you for the first time?"

Ye Hongshang turned over and lay on her side, her hands supporting her chin, her two jade feet dangling slightly in the air:
"It means literally, what did you feel when you saw your sister?"

"Are you sure you want me to say it?"

"Hmm~"

Xie Jinhuan glanced at the red-dressed ghost, and after thinking about it, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly:

"You are so rude."

?

Ye Hongshang swayed his feet and paused, narrowing his eyes slightly. Then he sat up and assumed the posture of a mountaintop ancestor, his eyes like swords, looking down from above:
"Do you like the tone of keeping people at a distance?"

The voice was cold and aloof, like a huge lump of ice that had not melted for a thousand years.

Xie Jinhuan blinked, a trance flashed in his eyes:
"You look a bit familiar..."

Ye Hongshang was delighted and maintained the demeanor of the Lady of the Nine Heavens:
"Oh? You've seen me before? Think about it carefully."

"Um……"

After Xie Jinhuan pondered for a long time, he suddenly slapped his forehead:
"That's right! Fairy Nangong!

"I once wandered around the Imperial Observatory and saw Fairy Nangong from afar. Her aura was similar to yours now."

Ye Hongshang was speechless for a moment, and lay back on the bed, supporting his cheek with his hand:

"Eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, men are really pigs, hum~"

Xie Jinhuan thought that he hadn't eaten it either, so he asked:
"Are you wondering about your origins?"

Ye Hongshang blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "I must be from a prominent family. Perhaps you knew me in your past life, and you came to me in this life to repay me."

Xie Jinhuan must have never seen Ye Hongshang in his previous life, so he shook his head:
"I'm not a fox spirit or a big white snake, what do I need to repay?"

"Then maybe I am. Returning a favor is still a favor."

As Ye Hongshang spoke, nine long, fluffy red tails floated out from behind him, slowly swaying in the curtain, and turned him into a big vixen with big breasts and a fat butt.

I go!

Xie Jinhuan's pupils shrank, and he felt that this was exactly the same as the vixen he imagined. He leaned over Ye Hongshang's butt to examine him:

"Is this a pendant or a plug-in? Is this what you really look like?"

Ye Hongshang turned around so that Xie Jinhuan wouldn't be able to look at him:

"How could my true form possibly look like this? I only transformed myself to show you because you wanted to see a vixen."

Xie Jinhuan felt bored when he found out that his real body had no tail.

Although he had never experienced this before, his curiosity was still piqued:

"You can change into anything? A spider... Holy shit!"

Before he could finish his words, a sharp explosion was heard from the bed!

It’s hard to describe the scene in the room, but the courageous Xie Jinhuan was furious and covered his eyes with his hands:
"Spider! Female spider! Not the big white-haired spider..." "Oh~"

"You're still here! Go away, go away! I'm going to have a heart attack!"

"Are you sure? I'm not the kind of woman who can be summoned and dismissed at will."

“Hurry, hurry, hurry…”

Xie Jinhuan closed his eyes and waved his hands repeatedly until the ambient sounds returned to his ears, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

But before he could sit down, he heard from the back of the house:
"Dang Dang Dang~"

“My dear—~…”

"Come, come, drink!"

?

Xie Jinhuan's face darkened, realizing he had let his guard down. He shamelessly took the Zhenglun Sword.
"Miss Ye? Hongshang? Hello?"

Zheng Lunjian didn't react at all.

Xie Jinhuan didn't expect that the succubus would get angry again. He could only endure the noise, close his eyes and concentrate on practicing.

But the group of crazy young ladies in the Princess's Mansion were really noisy, and their chattering made it impossible to concentrate. Halfway through, I heard:

"The Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival is about to begin. I heard that many talented young men are coming. Even the young master of Jinghua Villa, Bao Fei, is said to be here..."

"A grown man, he chose this name, and he's not afraid of being laughed at. No matter how fat he is, he can't be as fat as you..."

"Tsk~ You shameless person! Lift up her skirt and let me see who is fatter..."

How the hell is this supposed to make people practice martial arts?!
Xie Jinhuan was stunned when he heard this. He didn't run to the back to be the referee. It was because of his extraordinary concentration!

Unable to bear it any longer, Xie Jinhuan picked up the Zhenglun Sword again:

"Sister Ye? Beautiful Ye? Ghost wife?"

"Who are you calling wife?"

"Just kidding, I need to hurry up and practice. Can you help me block out the noise?"

"Humph~"

……
-
As the night deepens, in the study of Danwang Pavilion.

Zhu Wenyuan, the chief steward in his scholar's robe, stood beside the desk, holding a folding fan, his brow furrowed.

"It's a turbulent time. Today, we've visited every household in the counties and checked almost every footprint of a man who fits the height. In Danyang County alone, there are over a thousand similar people..."

Dan King Zhao Xiao was nearly fifty years old and had a rather elegant demeanor. However, he had been preoccupied with state affairs for years, and a few strands of white hair had appeared on his temples. He sat down at his desk, flipping through the files presented to him.

"Zihui Mountain and the Imperial Academy have both sensed the bloody aura rising into the sky, and the government office has also discovered footprints in the mountains. A great demon must be lurking in Danzhou.

“If we still haven’t found any clues by tomorrow, we will write to Luo Jing and ask the Imperial Master to take over this matter.

"Even if I'm called incompetent by the Imperial Censor, and Purple Emblem Mountain and the Imperial Academy are called good-for-nothings, it's better than a demon taking advantage of me and bringing disaster to countless people."

As a frontier official, King Dan holds military, political and financial power. Even if he really encounters a powerful monster, he should let his subordinates deal with it first. Only when it is beyond his ability should he report it to Luojing.

If they were sent to the court whenever something happened, and Danzhou didn't contribute at all, then why would the court still support so many people?
As a staff member, Zhu Wenyuan wanted to resolve the matter on his own within his jurisdiction, but the 'Great Demon of Zihui Mountain' was hiding too deep, and his subordinates really couldn't find it. Upon hearing the sound, they could only change the subject:

"At this critical moment, the Li family also came to cause trouble.

"The Li family first took Li Zi to the county government office. Fearing that the government wouldn't dare torture him, they personally watched over the torture.

"Li Zixian is incredibly stubborn. No matter how hard he's beaten, he refuses to admit allowing his men to profit from selling illegal drugs. He also denies harboring bandits or killing innocent people. He insists that Li Shizhong acted on his own initiative, deceiving his superiors and subordinates..."

The King of Dan had anticipated this. "Death is the last straw. If Li Zixian has any sense, he won't confess. The Li family asked the government to torture him just to show me. As soon as the Sanhe Building incident happened, the Li family sent people to Luojing. If nothing unexpected happens, Li Gongpu's people will be in Danyang tomorrow morning."

Li Gongpu was appointed Huangmen Lang and served the emperor all year round, enjoying his deep trust.

Although the King of Dan is the emperor's younger brother, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. As long as he cannot kill Li Gongpu with one blow, he has to give him some face to prevent the other party from making things difficult for him all day long.

The King of Pills was already extremely busy searching for the 'Great Monster of Zihui Mountain' that might appear at any time, and now he had to deal with the mess of the Li family, which made him exhausted.

After flipping through the files for a while, the Dan King suddenly found a name that appeared repeatedly in the files, and he was a little puzzled:
"Who is this Xie Jinhuan? Both Dongcangfang and Sanhelou were present, so it seems he was the first to make the contribution."

Zhu Wenyuan reported the matter to the Dan King, and he must have done some research beforehand:

"He is the son of Xie Wen, the former Wan'an County Magistrate. Three years ago, Xie Wen was transferred to the south. He followed his master to learn skills in the Hidden Immortal lineage. He just returned recently and is temporarily living in Qingquan Lane.

"This boy may be young, but his martial arts skills are quite impressive. However, his life has been difficult. According to the files, he lost his mother at a young age, and Xie Wen was attacked and killed by a demon on his way to his post. He is the only one left in his family."

"Oh……"

When the Dan King heard that his father had died in the line of duty, he naturally had a better impression of Xie Jinhuan:
"For you to praise him as having 'quite impressive martial arts skills', he must be quite capable. The source of the demonic energy is hard to find right now, so it's time to use someone. This boy..."

At this point, Dan Wang suddenly frowned:
"This boy lives in the alley behind the Princess's Mansion?"

"Uh……"

Zhu Wenyuan knew that the prince regarded the princess as his precious jewel and doted on her since she was a child. He even managed to copy some of the martial arts manual kept in the Imperial Observatory so that Princess Changning could study it more conveniently.

Now Princess Changning has reached the age of marriage. As the elder, King Dan is most worried that Princess Changning will meet the wrong man and be abducted by Huangmao.

But Princess Changning is a beauty, and she is also the apple of the eye of the Dan King. Which man doesn't want to be his wife?
In the past, there were often ignorant young men who would wander around the Princess's Mansion, hoping to see a scene where a rich girl falls for a poor boy.

Seeing that the King of Dan thought Xie Jinhuan was a playboy who wanted to seduce his precious daughter, Zhu Wenyuan quickly explained:
"This boy is an old friend of Wei Shi Yang Dabiao, and he lives in Qingquan Lane. He has no contact with the princess, but is close to Miss Linghu. If the prince is worried, I will pay more attention to him in the near future."

The Dan King carefully read the file, thought for a moment and said:
"Never mind. Although this boy comes from a humble background, his father served his country with loyalty. He is also capable and righteous. If Ling'er takes a liking to him, it wouldn't be too unfair to her. Let nature take its course."

"Yes."
