Taming the Demon: A Guide to Raising a Great Sage

Chapter 16 016, the little rich woman with a cold face and a warm heart

Sure enough, Shen Lang will soon have money.

In the evening, after practicing kung fu all afternoon, Shen Lang, who was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, was rolling up his sleeves, bowing his head at the table and burying his head in cooking, when Mu Qingxue came over with Xiao Zhao in his arms.

Shen Lang quickly swallowed his mouthful of food, and was about to get up to greet him, when Mu Qingxue said lightly:
"Sit down and continue eating, don't worry about me."

Although they didn't get along for a long time, Shen Lang could tell that this third-rank headhunter was not the kind of person who put on airs.

When discussing matters with her subordinates, she always sullenly put on a cold and serious look, but that was only for work.

The leader, especially the leader of a violent law enforcement agency like the "Shenzhentang" of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, is still a young and beautiful female leader, so she can't be joking and out of shape with a group of male subordinates, right?
But in private, Shen Lang felt that this Mu Daren was quite easy to get along with.

So he sat back as he said, and continued to eat and eat.

Sure enough, the maid who delivered the food did not fool him, and the dinner was much richer than the lunch.

In addition to a bucket of rice, there is also a large plate of oily braised pork, a plate full of roasted lamb legs, a pile of scrambled eggs with leeks, and a bowl of lamb bone soup with a thick layer of oil.

Although there are only three dishes and one soup, for Shen Lang, who is physically exhausted, such a hard three dishes and one soup is enough for him to fill his stomach and restore his strength.

Well, by the way, you can also feed the little fish some minced meat.

Shen Lang continued to rave about and devour, while Mu Qingxue found a chair and sat down, with a smile on her lips, teasing Xiao Zhao intently.Xiao Zhao also playfully played the cute kitten, playing happily with her.

After playing for a while, she looked up at Shen Lang and saw that he was almost done eating, so Mu Qingxue said leisurely:
"I heard from Zhu Hu that you have started practicing martial arts? It only took half a day to find the right strength?"

Shen Lang nodded:

"Brother Zhu is right. I have indeed started to practice martial arts. As for whether I have found the strength, I am not sure. I just feel that the strength seems to be much more comfortable than before."

Mu Qingxue frowned slightly:
"You're practicing the 'Ten Steps, One Kill' Ninth Grade Strength Training Chapter?"

"Correct."

"Didn't I tell you that even the secret books of the ninth and eighth ranks have some ambiguous code words, so you can't practice rashly?"

"I know that Mr. Mu has good intentions, but I thought, after all, the ninth-grade exercises are just external exercises for strength training. I will practice casually. If I feel wrong, I will stop quickly. This way, at most it will Pull a muscle..."

"Strain a muscle at most? To put it bluntly." Mu Qingxue said calmly, with no expression on her face, "Do you know how many people in the world have found this secret method and hurriedly practiced it, only to end up with muscle deformities?" , an extremely ugly guy?"

Shen Lang thought for a while and asked:
"Didn't your lord say that the head arresters in your criminal department don't judge people by their appearance? As long as you have good skills, it doesn't matter if you are ugly?"

"The muscles are deformed and the body is out of balance. Where do you think kung fu can go?"

"Your Excellency is right. Muscular deformities and body imbalances will inevitably greatly reduce body skills, and kung fu will not be much higher. But I shouldn't hurt myself to that extent, because I didn't feel any pain when I practiced. inappropriate……"

Mu Qingxue snorted softly and rolled her eyes a little:

"Even if you are really like what Zhu Hu said, you are a martial arts genius who can find the strength after practicing for half a day. Without the guidance of the master, it is easy to make mistakes in your practice. By the time you realize something is wrong, it will be too late! If your body is damaged, it will be too late." It has accumulated to the point of irreversibility! Forget it, you are not someone like me, if you don’t listen to persuasion, why should I bother to tell you so much?”

She put her hand into the cloak that was tightly sealed from neck to toe, making Shen Lang suspect that it was no less than a dozen heavy, and when she took it out again, there was already a small cloth bag in her hand.

She will throw the cloth bag on the table, and there will be a crisp sound, which looks very important:

"I received a message from Feiying that I need to return to Yingzhou Mansion as soon as possible to deal with a big case. So tomorrow morning, I will leave. I promised to help you gain a foothold in Changsheng County, and I will not break my promise.

"There are 20 taels of gold in the bag. Based on today's gold-silver ratio, it can be exchanged for two hundred silver dollars. This amount is enough for you to buy a house with a small courtyard in Changsheng County, and live well for the first half of the year."

With that said, he put another envelope on the table, and pushed it in front of Shen Lang with two slender and fair fingers:

"This is a letter of recommendation from me to the county magistrate of Changsheng. You take this letter to see the county magistrate, and he will arrange for you to work in the yamen."

Shen Lang stood up and clasped his fists at Mu Qingxue:
"Thank you, Master Mu!"

Mu Qingxue said leisurely:

"You don't have to thank me. There is no inheritance in this world, and it is probably a third-grade exercise from the previous dynasty. If it is true, its value is much higher than what I gave you. If you can successfully interpret it in the future, you will receive more. much in return.”

Shen Lang smiled and said:

"In any case, I am now in the most difficult time, and the help you have given me is very important to me. Maybe this matter is just a little effort for you, and you don't take it to heart, but I will never forget it. In the future, if If there is an opportunity, it will be rewarded.”

Mu Qingxue hummed noncommittally, stroking Xiao Zhao curled up on her lap with her palm, and said:
"Speaking of which, I wanted to take Xiao Zhao away..."

"My lord, you can't do it!"

"Hmph, 20 taels of gold is enough to buy a BMW, let alone a kitten!"

"To me, a kitten is more precious than a BMW. Besides, didn't we agree that the 20 taels of gold was your subsidy for me? There is also a certain amount of reward for me to offer the element of 'ten steps, one kill'..."

"Then what if I give you another 100 taels of gold?"

"My lord, you are so rich, why can't you buy a cat? Why do you keep staring at my Xiao Zhao?"

"Although I like other cats, they are not as cute as Xiao Zhao. It is strange to say that this little guy seems to have a special charm, which makes people love it and pity it from the bottom of their hearts. ..."

Because it is a cat demon!
The little milk cat is already very cute, plus the special charm of the goblin, of course you can't resist it.

When Shen Lang was muttering in his heart, Mu Qingxue suddenly changed the topic:
"Forget it, you don't want to sell Xiao Zhao even for 100 taels of gold, so it shows that you are just like me, and you love it from the bottom of your heart. If that's the case, I won't take your love away."

Shen Lang breathed a sigh of relief:

"Thank you, my lord, for raising your hand high."

To be honest, if Mu Qingxue really wants to bully the weak and grab Xiao Zhao by force, then Shen Lang really has nothing to do.

Of course, if Mu Qingxue really did this, then when he achieves his magical skills in the future, he will definitely snatch Xiao Zhao back and take revenge mercilessly.

Besides, Xiao Zhao is a goblin, so Mu Qingxue might not be able to keep an eye on it all the time.Maybe one day, if one doesn't pay attention, it will slip back to Shen Lang's side.

Now that Mu Qingxue understands righteousness so well, of course everyone is happy.

"Let Xiao Zhao stay with me for one more night today." Mu Qingxue said, "I'll return it to you tomorrow morning before I leave."

"Okay, just as your lord said."

"Don't continue to practice tonight. I will spend some time in the evening to interpret the ninth-rank and eighth-rank exercises of 'Ten Steps, One Kill'. Believe me, even if you don't know the unique code words of the founder of this exercise, you can do nothing. The external skills at the low-level stage are still not difficult for me."

Shen Lang had no choice but to bow his hands again to thank him.

After Mu Qingxue left with Xiao Zhao in his arms, Shen Lang rested for a while, and practiced again without heeding orders.

No way, who told him that he has fully comprehended the technique of ten steps and one kill, so it is impossible to practice it wrong?

Of course, Mu Qingxue helped him understand the favor of the exercises overnight, he still has the essentials, and he will repay him if he has the opportunity in the future.

Before dawn the next day, Mu Qingxue sent Xiao Zhao back, and at the same time handed him a thin booklet.

It was she who took the time to decipher at night, "Ten Steps, One Kill" exercises to train strength and muscles.

After reluctantly waving goodbye to Xiao Zhao, Mu Qingxue turned over and rode on a tall black horse, and galloped away.

Another hour later, when the sun was high, the police and soldiers of Changsheng County also escorted a long line of criminals, and brought the rescued low-level maidservants, servants, and people's tickets, and drove more than 20 vehicles to search The supplies left Wang's Villa.

Of course Shen Lang was also in the team, following Zhu Hu out of the village on foot, heading towards Changsheng County.
