To be honest, Wei Changtian was actually very surprised by Xu Qingwan's attitude at first.
He has only traveled through time for more than a month, and his ideas have not completely changed. He still feels that men and women must have a mutual understanding of each other before they talk about marriage.
Is your personality inconsistent? Are your living habits suitable? Is the nightlife disharmonious?
Even if these are not needed, it still takes some time to cultivate feelings.
So just now he just said "I am interested in Qingwan", but he did not expect that when Xu Qingwan and Zhou Cheng heard this, it would mean "I want to marry her".
But after thinking about it for a while, Wei Changtian understood.
This era is not like the previous life. Marriage basically follows eight words - the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. In most cases, a man and a woman only meet a few times before they become husband and wife.
Even if the two of them were secretly in love, they didn't try to date each other first. They must have gone straight to the process of proposing, getting engaged, and getting married.
There are situations where you still want to fall in love without getting married, but they are all just a matter of hooking up.
So for a serious girl like Xu Qingwan, since she said so, all she has to consider is whether she wants to get married.
The answer is now clear - yes.
Comrade Xiao Xu is willing to marry, and Wei Changtian is undoubtedly willing to marry, but he is a little worried about one thing.
Now there are three women in my yard, and there is a Yangliu Shi outside. If Xu Qingwan is added to this...
Heck, I don’t know if my body will be able to bear it in the future.
…
…
The distance between Nanling County and Beijing is about the same as Shanyang County, which I went to last time, except that one is in the south and the other is in the north.
At dusk, the three of them arrived at the boundary of Nanling, but they did not enter the city. Instead, they continued south along the official road and drove for another two-quarters of an hour before slowly stopping outside a landlord's compound.
"Hush!"
The servant acting as the coachman stopped the carriage and turned around and asked: "You three adults, don't you need me to go and inform the county government?"
"There's no need for it now. We'll just let them finish it off after we kill the monsters."
Wei Changtian gave instructions and immediately got out of the car, walked straight to the door of the courtyard and knocked on the door knocker.
"Squeak~"
Not long after, the side door slowly opened, and a servant stuck his head out, looking at the tiger costumes of Wei Changtian and the others with some confusion.
"Who are the three of you? Why do you want to come to my Zhang Mansion?"
Ordinary people don't often see people from the Xuanjing Division, so it's normal not to recognize them.
Zhou Cheng took a step forward and showed his badge: "I'm on duty at Liuye's office in the Xuanjing Department, and I'm here to get rid of the demon today."
"Xuan, Xuanjing Division..."
The servant stuttered for a moment, then hurriedly stepped out of the door without thinking: "I'll go to Tong right now... ah no! I'll take the three adults to see the master right now!"
"Please lead the way."
The three of them were not the kind of people who could put on airs. They said politely and followed the shivering servant to the inner courtyard, taking a look at the scene in the courtyard along the way.
Different from the mansions of 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 well-decorated farmhouse.
After walking along the gravel road for about a stick of incense, a servant had already stepped in to report, so the three of them soon saw a middle-aged man with a big belly and a sinister face.
The man was leaning towards him with his big belly, but Zhou Cheng suddenly glanced up and slowly touched the handle of the knife with his palm.
"Brother Wei, is this the rat demon you call?"
"???"
Wei Changtian was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the man opposite him, and then couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, brother Zhou, don't be so nervous, he is not a monster."
"Besides, how can a beast with low intelligence like the rat demon transform into another form after only forty years of practice?"
"That's... right."
Zhou Cheng reacted upon hearing this and moved his hand away from the knife a little embarrassedly.
The fat landlord in front of me is indeed not a demon, at least not a rat demon.
Because there is a rule for the transformation of monsters, that is, it depends largely on its own intelligence level.
Take Yangliu Shi for example, she actually only has less than fifty years of practice, but because of the fox demon's IQ, or rather high 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 possessed human wisdom in fighting. If it doesn't die, it will probably transform into success in less than ten years.
As for monsters with low intelligence such as rats, ants, snakes and insects, there is basically no need to think about changing their bodies in this life, unless there is some great opportunity.
Glancing at Zhou Cheng who was slightly embarrassed, Wei Changtian patted his shoulder and deliberately joked: "Brother Zhou, you can't judge a book by its appearance."
"If I can judge based on my appearance and temperament alone, wouldn't I also be a monster?"
"Um?"
Zhou Cheng was confused: "Brother Wei, what do you mean by this? What kind of monster are you?"
"Of course..."
Wei Changtian paused and turned to look at Xu Qingwan: "Qingwan, what kind of monster am I?"
Xu Qingwan thought for a moment, and then gave the answer seriously: "Dragon demon."
Zhou Cheng: "..."
Wei Changtian: "Hahahaha!"
The two spread the grain and the other dog ate it, and the three of them soon arrived in front of the fat landlord.
The landowner in front of him didn't dare to ask what they were talking about. He just said with a smile on his face: "Zhang Dajin, a common man, has met three Silver Leaf Lords!"
"Huh?"
Wei Changtian glanced at him: "Master Zhang is quite discerning."
"Don't dare."
Zhang Dajin touched the sweat on his forehead, bent down and smiled: "It's just that I was lucky enough to see Lord Yinye handling a case before."
"Um."
Wei Changtian didn't dwell on this topic too much and went straight to the point: "Mr. Zhang, we got news that there is a monster hiding in your house, so we came here to get rid of the monster."
"Understood! The villain understands!"
Zhang Dajin nodded repeatedly: "The three of you, please go inside and sit for a while. I will present the monster right now."
"Huh? The rat demon has been caught by you?"
Wei Changtian was surprised for a moment.
That’s not right, according to what is written in the novel, no one in the house should know about the existence of the rat demon!
Now he has been caught?
What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?
Wei Changtian entered the room and sat down with doubts, and then saw Zhang Dajin walking over quickly holding a small wooden box.
"Sir, the monster is here."
"???"
No, no matter how small the rat demon is, it cannot be packed into this gadget!
Wei Changtian reached out to take the wooden box suspiciously, and opened it slowly and cautiously...
And when he saw the three demon pills neatly stacked in the box, his heart suddenly became enlightened.
Good guy! You thought we were here to collect protection money, right?!
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, while Zhang Dajin, who was always misunderstood, nervously introduced from the side:
"Sir, there really aren't any rat monsters here."
"These three demon pills come from a deer demon, a bear demon, and a snake demon respectively. They all have practiced Taoism for about thirty years."
"I, what I mean is... why don't the three adults change the monsters to eradicate them this time?"
