Chapter 6 Cultivation Improvement, Encounter with a Rat Demon

When Xu Xian married Bai Suzhen, the doctor at the clinic gave him a large red envelope and allowed him to start his own practice.

You don't need to come to the clinic so often anymore.

Xu and Bai bought another large house and moved out of their sister's house.

Xu Jiaorong wept, but she knew that Xu Xian was already married, which was only natural.

Although Li Gongfu was equally reluctant to part with her, he was even more impressed by how generous Bai Suzhen's dowry was.

A large house in Hangzhou, bought on a whim!

That's truly enviable.

Xu Xian looked at his brother-in-law's expression and his lips twitched. He thought to himself that his brother-in-law really had a big heart.

Because he knew that the money Bai Suzhen used to buy the house was clearly from the treasury.

Xiao Qing, who was making a lot of noise in the new house, was the culprit who stole the treasury silver!

Xu Xian couldn't bear to see his sister and brother-in-law worry about the treasury's silver anymore, but he also didn't want to lose Xiaoqing, the money-bringing boy.

Therefore, at the housewarming banquet in his new residence, he led Li Gongfu to vehemently denounce the corrupt officials of the imperial court.

"Your salary and emoluments are the blood and sweat of the people!"

"A bunch of corrupt officials have made life unbearable for the people, and monsters are rising up everywhere!"

"They've certainly eaten their fill and become quite bloated!"

Xu Xian then asked, "Brother-in-law, those corrupt officials don't earn much annually. If they rashly go to the money exchange to exchange silver, wouldn't they expose their scheme?"

"Exchange for silver?"

Li Gongfu's face was flushed after drinking the wine.

"Silver doesn't grow mold."

"They could simply bury it at home, and no one would know. Why would they bother exchanging it for silver?"

"I've heard there are many chivalrous thieves and heroes in the world. I hope they'll visit the homes of corrupt officials and steal their silver to distribute to the people."

"Those corrupt officials knew the money was ill-gotten, so they didn't dare investigate!"

"You'd better share some with me too, after all, I'm not rich either... Why do you keep nagging me? I didn't say anything wrong!"

He does not mean that.

Li Gongfu was dizzy, but Xiaoqing's eyes were bright.

After the banquet, Xu and Bai escorted their sister and brother-in-law home, then returned to their room to enjoy their lovemaking.

At this time, Xu Xian was in excellent health, and Bai Suzhen had developed a taste for the marrow, so the two were quite harmonious.

Xiaoqing, however, has vanished without a trace.

A few days later, Li Gongfu arrived at the door, carrying a gourd of wine, looking quite pleased with himself.

I am amazed by how vast and wondrous the world is.

The missing treasury silver in the government office has been returned to its rightful owner!

The magistrate of Qiantang County considered this an auspicious sign and submitted a memorial to express his congratulations.

At the same time, the constables were given three days off and an additional three taels of silver as a reward.

Li Gongfu was the head constable and received five taels of silver.

Li Gongfu gave Xu Jiaorong three taels of silver and spent another tael to buy some wine and food to distribute to his constables.

He then took some food and wine and went to the Xu residence to drink with Xu Xian, while telling him about the strange things that happened in the treasury.

Bai and Qing, being women, did not sit at the table.

Xu Xian, as a dutiful listener, echoed along, greatly satisfying Li Gongfu's desire to share.

Thus, the matter of the treasury silver was successfully resolved, and Xu Xian did not lose Xiaoqing, the money-bringing maiden.

One day, Xiaoqing found Bai Suzhen and asked, "Sister, it's not good for that Mr. Xu to be an apprentice at the pharmacy. Why don't we just open a clinic for him?"

Bai Suzhen nodded and said, "I had the same idea, but these past few days when my husband comes home, he keeps muttering something about 'studying medicine won't save the people of Hangzhou,' and he's been waving the Realgar White Sword around randomly. He doesn't seem to be interested in opening a clinic."

Xu Xian really didn't want to open a clinic.

Since embarking on the path of cultivation, his time has become precious and he can no longer afford to waste it.

Xiao Qing frowned slightly: "That frail fellow actually started practicing swordsmanship? How is that possible!"

"It was quite clumsy at first, but now it's starting to look decent!"

Bai Suzhen led Xiaoqing to the backyard and quietly hid behind a stone pillar, where she indeed saw Xu Xian practicing his sword.

Xu Xian, wielding the realgar-infused white sword, practiced thrusting and slashing with remarkable skill.

This was something Xu Xian did intentionally.

He concealed his cultivation level, only revealing himself as a mortal.

But they didn't want to waste time at the clinic.

Therefore, he began to practice swordsmanship.

The saying goes, "Great strength makes bricks fly."

With his exceptionally strong physique, Xu Xian became a master swordsman.

However, he initially appeared extremely clumsy, and only in recent days has he slowly begun to reveal a bit of his strength.

From Bai Suzhen's perspective, Xu Xian had made such progress in just a few days.

He's a true kendo genius.

Watching Xu Xian wield his sword, Bai Suzhen's eyes sparkled, and Xiaoqing was also stunned: "This guy, he actually looks quite convincing!"

Bai Suzhen nodded naturally: "Judging from the speed at which my husband practices swordsmanship, I'm afraid that in another month or two, even ordinary little demons will no longer be his match."

At this point, Bai Suzhen suddenly remembered Xu Xian's words, "I will protect you," and her face turned bright red.

Xiaoqing pouted.

She didn't understand human emotions and love, and only found it cheesy.

"By the way, sister, I've been wandering around Hangzhou these past few days and I've discovered some traces of demons. Among them are a few rat demons..."

Let's catch a few rat demons for my husband to test his sword!

This thought flashed through Bai Suzhen's mind.

Of course she wouldn't do that; she couldn't frighten her husband.

Bai Suzhen led Xiaoqing away from the backyard, saying, "If the rat demon dares to come here or approach within three miles of my husband, kill it!"

Bai Suzhen's tone was cold, exuding the aura of a great demon...

Then it suddenly disappeared.

"What should I cook today? My husband seems to like meat. I'll think about it carefully..."

Bai Suzhen bit her slender, green fingers and walked toward the kitchen.

Xiaoqing was left alone, bewildered in the wind.

Love in this world is truly complicated.

She muttered something, then broke off a bamboo stalk and went to duel with Xu Xian with her sword.

Time passed slowly, and April arrived.

There is still one month until the Dragon Boat Festival.

Xu Xian, through his diligent practice every night, finally reached level 5.

After adding the points, he waited for the right opportunity.

Finally, three days later, the rat demons in the city began to stir.

Within a three-mile radius of the Xu residence, the aura of a rat demon could be detected.

While Xu Xian was fast asleep, Bai and Qing left behind a wisp of their magic to protect him before leaving the house to search for the rat demon.

After the two left, Xu Xian opened his eyes and checked his own panel.

Name: Xu Xian

[Level: 5]

[Physical Fitness: 25]

[Mana: 12]

[Divine Sense: 12]

【Perception: 2】

[Luck: 3]

[Technique: Yin-Yang Harmony Technique (Blue)]

[Supernatural Powers: None]

[Treasure: Realgar White Sword (Green)]

[Dao Qi: 3]

"That's enough. We should be able to get two more Rat Demon Skins."

He picked up the Realgar White Sword, bypassed Bai Suzhen's magic, and sped off towards a certain place in Hangzhou!

Xu Xian had a clear goal, and with 25 points of physical strength, his speed far exceeded that of ordinary people.

Furthermore, Qing and Bai dared not use too powerful magic in Hangzhou, and they did not know the exact location of the rat demon, so they were not as fast as Xu Xian.

Under the moonlight, Xu Xian, sword in hand, ran towards the north of the city and finally found two mice under the shade of a locust tree!

The rat was as fat as a dog, with shiny fur and bright, piercing eyes; it was clearly no ordinary creature.

"Little mouse demons, do you want to be swallowed by these two snake demons, or come with me?"

The two mice naturally sensed Xu Xian's presence.

They turned to look at the frail human, their voices sharp and piercing: "What are you, daring to confront our brothers..."

Before the words were even finished, the bodies of the two rats suddenly tensed up!

Their natural enemy is approaching, and their strength is beyond imagination!

Xu Xian, estimating the time, said again, "Either come with me, or die at the hands of those two snake demons!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

The two mice looked at each other and finally caught up.
