The Rise of the Witch

The courtyard was deathly silent.

After a long pause, Su Qiantong finally exploded: "No way, how did I, a mere Cave Profound Realm cultivator, become the future of the Demon Suppression Division?"

Ren Yanzhu remained silent for a moment before also saying, "This is unreasonable!"

"Exactly!" Su Qiantong exclaimed incredulously, "This ice block and I have neither background nor talent... While the ice block may lack talent, I do possess some, but surely that doesn't make me the future of the Demon Suppression Division?"

Su Wenling looked at the two of them, her gaze falling on Xing Yang's face, and said softly, "Whether one can become the future depends not on background, nor on talent, but on... my husband!"

"My lord?" the two women exclaimed in unison, surprised.

Su Wenling smiled gently and said, "From what I can tell, the two of you are just compatible in terms of personality. One of you values ​​rules but is not rigid, and the other understands human nature but is not immoral. The two complement each other, and once they grow up, they will be able to take charge of the Demon Suppression Division."

Whether or not he can grow up depends on his husband.

Xing Yang seemed to be deep in thought.

The two women fell silent. Both the Spiritual Silver Gourd and the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts were enough to set them apart from their peers.

In addition, Xing Yang gave them all the pills he received, and they could also occasionally enjoy a few meals of spiritual food, so their cultivation resources were not lacking.

Su Wenling continued, "The Emperor's son and daughter somehow got wind of this, which is why they set their sights on you, hoping to use this opportunity to interfere with the Demon Suppression Bureau. However, they didn't expect that the key to the matter would ultimately fall on your husband."

The future of the Demon Suppression Division doesn't belong to you, but to you under my husband's leadership... Husband, does the Great Heavenly Witch intend to hand over the Demon Suppression Division to you?

Xing Yang looked at her in surprise: "I did mention it, but I'm not interested."

Su Wenling smiled lightly, "The Great Heavenly Witch never interferes with the affairs of the Demon Suppression Division; it's the two deputy commanders on the left and right who are in charge."

This woman is truly intelligent and insightful!

  

The two women, Ren and Su, were still in a state of shock and could not come back to their senses for a long time... Two self-proclaimed low-level workers were suddenly told that they would inherit the company in the future.

Who wouldn't be confused in that situation?

Xing Yang pinched his brow in annoyance: "So what do we do about this? I'm starting to feel like killing someone!"

He really didn't want to deal with these troublesome matters, but Ren Yanzhu and Su Qiantong were ultimately his subordinates, and Wa Xin had asked him to train the two of them...

Nuwa's help to him was immense... not to mention saving his life several times, she also gave him divine weapons and armor without hesitation.

It's hard to say whether this is yet another test of Nuwa's heart. Given the tyrannical nature of the War Witch, the only thing he would do in this situation is to kill his way through... If he didn't still have some reason left, Xing Yang would really want to do that!

The consequences could be serious, but it was incredibly satisfying!

The more I think about it, the more frustrated I get. These people who plot and scheme are so annoying!

Fortunately, Su Wenling suddenly said, "If my husband is at ease, then leave their affairs to me!"

Xing Yang sighed and asked, "What are you planning to do?"

Su Wenling chuckled and said, "Given the status of the Yanzi clan, even imperial princes and princesses would give them some face, but such things happen twice."

Today we can get the prince to release General Feng and the princess to give up Miss Ren, but who knows if they will try something else tomorrow?

Therefore, the best solution is for the two girls to grow up as quickly as possible!

The two women finally came to their senses. They were mentally strong enough to understand that if they couldn't get through this, any future would be meaningless.

Su Qiantong muttered, "I want to too, but when it comes to cultivation, you either understand it or you don't. What's the use of rushing?"

Ren Yanzhu was also somewhat disheartened. Immortal cultivation was fine; once you understood it, you could start cultivating. But martial arts required slow and steady progress.

Su Wenling smiled without saying a word, and said, "That's something for my husband to worry about. I'll take care of it for you today."

Xing Yang sighed and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, my lady."

"It is my duty to share my husband's burdens."

After finishing her meal, Su Wenling left the mansion again, probably to deal with the trouble caused by Ren Su and the other two women.

The two women went back to cultivate themselves. The elder woman was right; the best solution was for them to grow stronger on their own.

If they were to achieve the Core Formation stage... no, even if they were to step into the Spirit Guiding stage, the imperial princes and princesses wouldn't be able to force them so easily!

Xing Yang, however, was thinking about how to help the two girls grow up as quickly as possible, as well as his apprentice Yu Xi.

He is a war shaman, and his understanding of martial arts is innate. Guiding Ren Yanzhu and Yu Xi is no problem. The key is Su Qiantong, who doesn't really understand immortal cultivation.

But the problem ultimately comes down to resources!

Thinking of this, Xing Yang immediately got up, told Yu Xi to practice her skills well, and then left the Zhuguo Mansion through the North Gate.

He remembered someone who could always whip up a table of spiritual food whenever he was out and about!

……

Food is the most important thing.

Before Xing Yang entered, he noticed that the restaurant was much quieter, and he immediately felt uneasy.

Upon entering, sure enough, all the tables in the store were empty, and there wasn't a single customer... well, not exactly none, there was one.

At the counter, Madam Cang was chatting with another woman.

The woman had her back to the door, but even just her back view exuded a captivating charm; the tight curves of her dress were incredibly alluring.

In addition, Lady Cang herself was also very charming. When these two women were together, even Xing Yang couldn't help but feel a little breathless.

However, he felt that the woman's back view was somewhat familiar.

Upon seeing Xing Yang, Madam Cang immediately stood up and said with a smile, "Oh, isn't this General Xing... no, I should call him Inspector Xing now? What brings you to my little shop?"

Just as Xing Yang was about to speak, the woman turned around and gave him a seductive smile.

"It's you, you vixen?" Xing Yang blurted out, "Why aren't you in Qingzhou? Why have you come to Chaoge to die?"

Qingqing Huxu, the one who ran the brothel "Qingyuefang" in Qingzhou back then, was also the one who sent Xingyang to the Great Wilderness.

Now that she's put away her fox ears and tail, in Xing Yang's eyes, her charm level is -99!

"So it's you, young man!" Qingqing Huxu's eyes flashed with shock, and she said with a charming smile, "I didn't expect you to be able to return from the Great Wilderness. No wonder you were chosen by that person."

Lady Cang asked suspiciously, "You two know each other?"

"I know him, of course I know him!" Qingqing Huxu chuckled, covering her mouth. "The one in front of you is someone who dared to patronize my business when he was only eleven or twelve years old!"

Madam Cang knew perfectly well what kind of business Qingqing Huxu was in, and upon hearing this, her eyes immediately turned strange: "Going to school at such a young age... tsk!"

"Ahem!" Xing Yang awkwardly changed the subject, saying, "You still haven't told me how you came to Chaoge? I'm now an inspector of the Demon Suppression Division, aren't you afraid I'll arrest you and take you back?"

Putting aside the fact that Qingqing Huxu's stay in Kyushu was approved by Nuwa, just because she knew Mi Xiaoling, Xingyang wouldn't have made a move against her. This is just a joke.

Qingqing Huxu was fully aware of this, her voice filled with a captivating allure: "Inspector, spare my life! I accept the punishment as you see fit, how about it?"

As it spoke, its fox ears suddenly popped out from the top of its head and twitched, while its tail swayed with the movement of its hips.

Xing Yang's eyes lit up, and his charm level increased by 99!

With a wave of her hand, Lady Cang slammed the restaurant doors shut. She rolled her eyes and said, "To reveal your demonic form in broad daylight, you really aren't afraid of death!"

Qingqing Huxu chuckled, "What can we do? Our Inspector just falls for that kind of thing!"

Lady Cang was speechless when she saw the gleam in Xing Yang's eyes.

Xing Yang rubbed his fingertips together, changed the subject, and said, "Let's get down to business. Madam, I need to borrow Wang Er for a bit."

Lady Cang asked in surprise, "What do you want with Wang Er?"

Xing Yang didn't hide anything and frankly said, "I plan to take my apprentice and two subordinates to the Great Wilderness to gather some cultivation resources, kill a few demons, and bring a cook to prepare spiritual food."

Qingqing Huxu suddenly smiled, her eyes sparkling with a hidden meaning.

Lady Cang chuckled and said, "Do you have some misunderstanding about spirit chefs? In your eyes, are spirit chefs only used to process the flesh and blood of demons?"

Xing Yang was taken aback: "Otherwise what?"

"Hehe..." Qingqing Fox finally laughed out loud, saying, "A true spiritual chef uses spiritual herbs and medicines in their dishes, combining them with various spiritual ingredients. The results are no less effective than elixirs. Demon meat is just one ingredient among many!"

Xing Yang asked in bewilderment, "Is there such a thing? The spirit chefs I've encountered before didn't have this custom."

Qingqing Huxu laughed and said, "Because it requires not only culinary skills but also pharmacology. To be proficient in only one is to be either a chef or an alchemist; to be proficient in both is the path of cultivation!"

Xing Yang was greatly intrigued and pressed for an answer: "Where can I find people who cultivate this kind of path?"

Qingqing Huxu gestured to Lady Cang and said, "Far away, yet right before our eyes!"

"You?" Xing Yang asked suspiciously.

Lady Cang chuckled and said, "Otherwise, where do you think the Shi Huang clan, a fallen clan, would have gotten the resources to support four Spirit-Attracting cultivators?"

Wang Er, Zhang San, and Li Si are all at the Spirit Guiding Realm. Although Madam Cang did not show much, she was able to protect the other three with just a bell at Changfeng Ferry, which shows that her cultivation is even higher.

Xing Yang suddenly realized, his eyes burning with desire: "Great Wilderness, shall we go?"

Lady Cang smiled and said, "Go!"
