Starting with a demon-slaying manual, and the top scorers are all your bedmates...

Chapter 1 Whose beautiful wife is left alone in her room?

What kind of mentality does a man have when he has a beautiful and charming wife at home but never comes home?

Guan Buping looked at the handsome young man in front of him and said seriously, "Lin Yi, you have been on night patrol for three months in a row. You don't need to participate in the case in Qinghe Village this time. I'm granting you three days off. Go home and spend some quality time with your younger siblings."

"No need. The world is not yet clear, and the long night is not yet over. As a patrolman of the Jingye Division, how can I let personal feelings interfere with matters of state?"

At this moment, Lin Yi's face seemed to radiate the light of righteousness.

Guan Buping thought that it must be green light.

Lin Yi's wife, Guan Buping, had met her once. In terms of looks, no one in the entire Xingsha County could find anyone more beautiful than her.

Her captivating peach blossom eyes were particularly alluring, seemingly capable of mesmerizing the soul. Her figure was exquisite, with a slender waist and a graceful curve; her gait was like a gentle breeze swaying a willow branch, creating ripples in the water.

When Guan Buping first saw her, he felt that the woman was born to arouse men's desires, and if he didn't keep a close eye on her, he didn't know how many suitors she would attract.

Unfortunately, his subordinate was too honest and straightforward. After falling into the water three months ago, he became even more enthusiastic about slaying demons and monsters, and ended up guarding the Jingye Division for three consecutive months.

Leaving such a charming woman alone in an empty room for three or five days would be one thing, but after three months, the starving wolves would have to find their own food.

Yesterday, Wang Liang, the second son of the prefect, brought a portrait to inquire about information, but Guan Buping declined. Today, he hurriedly came to hint to Lin Yi.

"Xiao Lin, let me tell you a story. There was a tenant farmer named Lao Lin. He had one mu of good private land and rented several mu of public land. In order to take care of the public land, Lao Lin neglected his private land. Lao Wang next door took the opportunity to plant seeds in his land. Later, the government even determined that the private land belonged to Lao Wang. Do you think Lao Lin lost out?"

Therefore, you must take good care of your own land, otherwise it will be too late to regret it if someone else takes it away.

Guan Buping's words were almost explicit, and Lin Yi immediately understood, but he was also feeling bitter inside!

The fields at home looked very fertile, but he dared not sow any seeds in them.

Lin Yi was originally a policeman in the 21st century, about to finish his probationary period. Three months ago, on his way home from get off work, he encountered a woman who was contemplating suicide by jumping into the river due to relationship problems.

He was on the scene and had a duty to protect the lives and property of the people. In addition, he knew he was a good swimmer, so he jumped into the water without hesitation.

Unexpectedly, the suicidal woman was very uncooperative. Lin Yi tried to help her ashore, but she struggled wildly. Lin Yi dragged her ashore regardless, and she then elbowed him hard in the temple.

Lin Yi felt his head buzzing, but he maintained his previous posture, holding the other person tightly.

The suicidal woman was extremely agitated. Seeing that Lin Yi wouldn't let go, she hit his head several more times.

Lin Yi choked on some water, his mind went blank, and he slowly sank down.

When he woke up again, he found himself naked, surrounded by several men. They told him that he had fought with a water ghost and was dragged into the river by it.

Lin Yi knew something was wrong as soon as he heard this. Seeing that they were dressed like people from ancient times, he quickly claimed to have amnesia and then managed to find out his identity from them.

The person he replaced was also named Lin Yi, a constable from the Jingye Division of Xingsha County.

This world is filled with ghosts and evil spirits, and the Jingye Division is a department dedicated to capturing ghosts, exorcising evil spirits, and eliminating demons.

At that time, Lin Yi was both bewildered and excited. He was afraid when he first arrived in the unfamiliar environment, but the world sounded wonderful. He could cultivate immortality and seek the Dao, and there were beautiful ghosts and fox demons. This was the dream of many men.

Even without a cheat code, he believed that he could achieve something with his own wisdom.

Then, Chief Constable Guan Buping sent him home. When he got home, Lin Yi learned that he had a wife, a woman who was perfectly installed on his XP system.

The moment Lin Yi saw that woman, an image of a picture book flashed into his mind. The cover of the book had three ancient characters that read "Demon-Slaying Manual." The first page of the book showed his charming and beautiful wife.

"He Dong is a thousand-year-old vengeful ghost who loves to consume yang energy. He hides himself by using a painted skin. Killing him will grant you five hundred years of cultivation."

Lin Yi was stunned on the spot, but Guan Buping was completely unaware and simply left Lin Yi behind.

Before leaving, he granted Lin Yi three days off so that he could get some rest.

That's a great leader, if only he didn't have a wicked wife at home.

After that day, Lin Yi never went home at night again. Even if he wasn't assigned any tasks, he would find someone to take his shift.

Three months passed peacefully.

Using the basic Taoist techniques he learned in the Jingye Division, Lin Yi slew many vengeful spirits and ghosts. For each one he killed, he gained one-third of its cultivation level. Lin Yi was aiming to level up by defeating monsters until he could fight bosses.

Unfortunately, those ghosts are often relatively weak, with at most a dozen or so years of cultivation, and most only a few years.

After three months, although Lin Yi was dedicated to his job and obsessed with working overtime, he still rarely encountered ghosts in the city, and his cultivation level only reached sixty years.

Lin Yi set a small goal: he would never go back to farm until he had cultivated for a thousand years.

Unexpectedly, only three months later, his wife at home showed no reaction, but his boss started to worry.

Lin Yi figured that the leader must have heard something to warrant such a direct instruction.

For a moment, Lin Yi felt conflicted.

He and He Dong had no emotional foundation, and Lin Yi was afraid of her, wishing he could stay as far away from her as possible.

However, He Dong is at least nominally his wife. If he really absorbed someone else's yang energy because he liked to eat yang energy, Lin Yi, as a pure love god of war, really couldn't understand his thoughts.

Seeing Lin Yi's face turn green, Guan Buping couldn't help but feel sympathy. Just as he was about to say a few words of comfort, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Come in."

After Guan Buping responded, the door slowly opened, and a beautiful woman stood in the doorway.

The woman looked resentful and said, "I apologize for disturbing you. I have something I want to discuss with my husband, but I'm afraid he won't come home all night again, so I came to bother you. Please forgive me, Constable Guan."

The woman speaking was, of course, He Dong.

Seeing He Dong in this place sent chills down Lin Yi's spine.

He had assumed that the Jingye Division, as an official government office specializing in exorcising ghosts, should be an absolutely safe zone. He never expected He Dong to be so bold as to walk directly into the Jingye Division.

The safe zone doesn't exist at all!

He Dong had been quiet for three months, and his sudden visit today made Lin Yi feel even more uneasy.

Dangerous!

Lin Yi's mind raced, but Guan Buping preemptively agreed to He Dong's request: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I've already taught him a lesson. Lin Yi will definitely accompany you home tonight. However, please go out for a moment; I have some things I'd like to discuss with Lin Yi."

"Yes, thank you, Officer Guan."

He Dong bowed slightly, then slowly withdrew and closed the door behind him.

Guan Buping couldn't help but sigh. This woman was quite gentle and polite, but unfortunately...

Guan Buping patted Lin Yi on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Little Lin!"

"what happened?"

“I also want to tell you a story. I have a horse named Feidu. One night, someone rode it away and it didn’t return until the next morning.”

Lin Yi watched Guan Buping quietly, waiting for what would happen next.

Did this horse become a spirit after going out for a while?

Seeing that Guan Buping remained silent, Lin Yi assumed he needed a straight man to answer the question, so he played along and asked, "And then?"

"There's no 'then'. I just wanted to tell you that it's okay if your horse gets lost, as long as you know it will come back."

Lin Yi: "..."

He realized that Guan Buping was ostensibly talking about horses, but actually he was talking about oxen!

As a pure love warrior, Lin Yi felt he had to make his stance clear and not give the minotaur any chance to be overjoyed.

"I believe in my wife!"

As Lin Yi firmly uttered those words, he felt as if he had undergone a spiritual transformation.

Guan Buping seemed to be blinded by the light emanating from him, and, unable to persuade him any further, waved his hand and let him go.

Lin Yi came out of the house and saw He Dong standing under the tree waiting.

As the setting sun cast its slanting rays, He Dong stood there in the dim light and shadow, and a sense of tranquility and peace arose within him.

If only she weren't a ghost.

Lin Yi sighed inwardly, walked up to He Dong, and calmly said, "Let's go home."

He Dong nodded and followed behind Lin Yi.

After leaving the Jingye Division, it's still five miles to walk home.

As they walked, Lin Yi asked, "You said you needed to talk to me about something, what is it?"

He knew there was no way to escape anymore, so he decided to face the challenge head-on and confront it bravely.

"I have come for Wang Liang, the second son of the prefect."

Lin Yi's expression changed slightly, and he asked in surprise, "What happened to him?"

He had been in this world for three months, which wasn't a long time, but he had heard quite a bit about Wang Liang's deeds.

Wang Liang, the second young master of the Wang family, was a notorious playboy. He was lecherous and had a particular fondness for married women...

He Dong calmly said, "Someone offered five hundred gold coins to kill him. The Wang family has the imperial court's fortune protecting their home. I am a ghost and cannot get close to the Wang family members, so you are the only one who can kill him. If you can castrate him before killing him, you can get another five hundred gold coins."

"Oh, I see."

Lin Yi subconsciously responded, but then suddenly realized what he had done.

Wait, what did you just say?

Are you a ghost?

You just revealed your identity like that?
