Damn, I turned into a monster

Wang Wu did not move to a new place. After feeding Wu Lian a few grain pills and injecting some negative energy into her, he went downstairs to discuss compensation with the boss and have a meal.

The grain pills were not tasty, but they were not bad either. But he would definitely not choose to eat them unless he needed them.

The innkeeper was a nice guy. Although there was such a big commotion outside, he still entertained Wang Wu warmly. He didn't even intend to ask Wang Wu for compensation. In the end, Wang Wu forced him to accept it reluctantly.

"Young man, you will repay a favor. I admire your character very much. I bow down to you."

This is what the shop owner said to Wang Wu, and he also waived the meal fee for Wang Wu. This was something he strongly requested, and Wang Wu finally did not refuse the other party's kindness.

It seems that good people do get rewarded.

After having a meal, Wang Wu felt quite emotional.

But this is normal. After all, everyone is extremely selfish and only cares about benefits instead of feelings when doing things. In a society with the ultimate social development...

To be honest, Wang Wu has always felt that such a society is difficult to maintain.

If there is only selfishness but no altruism, it is hard to say whether human society can develop civilization. After all, even wild animals engage in mutually beneficial and helpful behaviors.

Helping others in nature is often a selfish behavior. After all, mutual benefit and various symbiotic relationships have already illustrated this point well.

Obviously, the character of loyalty and gratitude is also welcomed in this world. As Wu Lian was a monster who saved the life of Wang Wu, a "real warrior", and her tragic life experience did not make these humans dislike her, and many humans even felt that she was quite pitiful.

Although Wang Wu thinks that this is mainly because the other party is so beautiful, and tigers also eat people, but it does not prevent a lot of people in his hometown from liking tigers and wanting to pet tigers, isn't it because tigers are so good-looking?

Wu Lian's injuries had almost recovered by the next day, and she was able to get out of bed and walk. When she regained her mobility, the first thing she did was to kneel in front of Wang Wu and kowtow:
"Young Master Wang, if you don't mind, after this matter is over, I am willing to be branded by you and serve you from now on."

"Fuck you, are you addicted to being a slave? Is it in vain that I saved you?" Wang Wu almost kicked the other person when he heard this. Then he walked up to him, pulled Wu Lian up from the ground, and said unhappily:
"I don't need you to be my slave. I don't need a slave, and you don't need to be a slave to serve someone."

After saying that, Wang Wu looked at Wu Lian and asked, "Besides, don't you still have a husband?"

"Young man said that humans and demons have different paths. If this continues for a long time, it will only bring them misfortune." Wu Lian's expression was gloomy, "And I can't really give him a child, so..."

Wu Lian lowered her head and said softly:
"It's better to have a short pain."

"Whatever you want." Wang Wu scratched his butt. This kind of family matter was not something he needed to worry about.

But there is nothing wrong with this approach. Sun Da's family are just ordinary people. Living with Wu Lian, a monster who has entered the realm of truth, there is indeed a high probability that they will encounter misfortune.

The next morning, after dealing with Wu Lian's request for gratitude, Wang Wu called Shu Niang and the others again to confirm the situation at home.

The female monsters obviously knew that they could not go out, and the situation at home was also good, and no accidents occurred.

It must be a bit lonely without Wang Wu around, but now that I have the skills to practice, I am not so lonely anymore, and there are plenty of ways to pass the time.

Coming to the human city again, although it was winter, it was still quite lively. So, Wang Wu, who happened to have an appointment, took Wu Lian out, mainly to buy some things.

Wang Wu left home at 8:30 in the morning. It was still dark, but the city was already brightly lit and the streets were crowded. He wandered around the county town and bought a lot of stuff.

Wu Lian is very familiar with this place because she is often sent here to do work, and recently she also accepted a task to seduce the young master of the Lin family.

The young master of the Lin family is also a sentimental man, and he means what he says. If he is still willing to take over after this matter is settled, then it would not be a bad idea for Wu Lian to follow him.

Of course, it all depends on Wu Lian's own choice. As for what she will choose, that is not something Wang Wu cares about.

I spent the whole morning strolling around Hexi County and bought a lot of things, including some food, some furniture, and some items that women like.

In fact, Wang Wu didn’t know whether women liked those items, but he bought them because he thought they might like them.

Of course, there are books, all kinds of books. This is indispensable. He needs knowledge now, all kinds of knowledge.

It soon came to noon and the sun finally came out, but the lights on the street remained on because the sun would not stay in the sky for too long.

They arrived at Tianqi Tower, which was where Situ Jin invited Wang Wu to have dinner today.

As soon as he entered the door, a beautiful woman in brocade robe came up and bowed respectfully to Wang Wu.

"Young Master Wang, General Situ has been waiting for you for a long time. Please follow me."

I took Wang Wu to a private room on the second floor. The room was right next to the street, and sitting inside, I could see the bustling street below with people coming and going.

"Young Master Wang." Situ Jin, who was sitting in the box, saw Wang Wu at the door and greeted him with a smile.

"Please take a seat." She pointed to the seat opposite her.

"General Situ." Wang Wu bowed and sat opposite Situ Jin.

Wu Lian stood in the box, with her head down and silent, acting like a typical maid.

Soon, tea was served, along with some appetizers.

"I wonder what sect Brother Wang is from?" Situ Jin asked as he picked up a piece of cake with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

"The Extreme Sky Vajra Sect." Wang Wu replied.

"Oh?" Situ Jin was a little surprised. "This doesn't seem to be a sect in my Great Zhou territory?"

"Indeed." Wang Wu nodded. "The Jitian Vajra Sect is located in the extreme west, which is..."

If you slightly delete and repeat the information about the Jitian Vajra Sect found on the official website, it will be a sect that perfectly fits the style of this world.

"It seems that Brother Wang's sect is a major sect in the Western Wei Dynasty?" Situ Jin asked slowly after listening to Wang Wu's introduction while eating dessert and drinking tea.

This woman really likes sweet things. She eats dessert before meals and her tea is also extremely sweet.

"No, our Jitian Vajra Sect does not belong to any country." Wang Wu shook his head. There was nothing wrong with what he said. Yunguang City was not a country, but just a city.

Situ Jin raised his eyebrows and said nothing more.

For a moment, the box fell into silence.

Wang Wu is not a sociable person, and although Situ Jin, who is sitting opposite him, took the initiative to invite him to dinner, he didn't seem to plan to say anything to him.

Soon, the food and drinks were served. But the two of them ate in silence for nearly ten minutes.

Wang Wudu thought that the other party had called him here just to have a meal with him, but at this time, Situ Jin opened his mouth and said:

"I wonder if my brother is interested in joining our Demon Suppression Division?"

"Huh? Ah?" Wang Wu was stunned.

Without waiting for Wang Wu to respond, Situ Jin continued, "Brother Wang, since you are a disciple of a sect that has left the world, you will not be bound by your country. In this case, why don't you consider working in the Demon Suppression Department of my Great Zhou?"

"Why?" Wang Wu didn't quite understand this woman's train of thought. Why did she suddenly invite a foreigner like him to join that damn Demon Suppression Bureau?

It was precisely because he learned about the concept of the "separate sect" from Zhao Xingyue that Wang Wu was able to tell others about the official website introduction of the Jitian Vajra Sect by simply cutting out some parts.

Anyway, most of the sects that have left the world are very hidden, and it is unlikely that ordinary people can find them without connections.

Even a country is not enough, because those places are often not necessarily hidden in the world, where can you find them?

These departed sects often have intricate ties with the former overlords of this land.

Of course, the existing countries are actually similar, and the connection is even deeper. After all, they were directly vassal states of the Shang Dynasty in the past.

"I think Brother Wang is a very good person." Situ Jin shook the wine glass in his hand and looked at Wang Wudao with a smile, "A meal of kindness must be repaid, let alone a life of kindness?"

“This really touches my heart.”

"Well, thank you General Situ for your kindness." Faced with the woman's remarks, Wang Wu didn't know how to respond, so he could only bow his hands and respond to her praise with this panacea-like gesture.

The main reason was that he felt that this woman was a little weird, and he didn't know why.

"Haha, just a joke, just a joke." Seeing Wang Wu's somewhat embarrassed response, Situ Jin laughed. This General Situ seemed to prefer men's clothing. Although he was not wearing the armor he wore last night, he was still dressed like a young master.

Plus with a face like that, I guess she is also a girl killer.

Wang Wu and this guy don't look the same. He has a more masculine look, so you can't mistake his gender at first glance. Of course, except in some countries in my hometown.

"I came to see you today, not only because I wanted to get to know you, but I also have something else to do." Situ Jin swung the cup in his hand and said, "Of course, but we can put that matter aside for now. Why not solve the problem of the fox demon next to you first? After all, this is also the business of my Demon Suppression Division."

Wang Wu turned around and looked at Wu Lian. He almost forgot that this woman was a vixen because she only said it once.

"Of course." Wang Wu nodded. "What do you want to know, General?"

After the meal, Situ Jin had a general understanding of Wu Lian's specific situation. This matter obviously aroused Situ Jin's interest, so the two demons followed her to the garrison camp in Hexi County.

The Zhou Dynasty implemented two military systems. One was the professional soldier system inherited from the previous Shang Dynasty, namely the recruitment system. The other was the prevalent military system during the Tang Dynasty, Wang Wu's hometown.

The former is a professional army directly controlled by the central government of the dynasty, with equipment and salaries provided directly by the court, and has an excellent level of training and equipment.

The latter are each state's own "local soldiers", a combination of farmers and soldiers, whose equipment and training level depend on the local financial level.

The Zhou Dynasty in this world is obviously different from the ancient Zhou Dynasty in Wang Wu's hometown, and the difference is not small. The most similar thing between the two is probably that they both have the name of "Great Zhou".

This was Wang Wu's first time entering a military stronghold of human civilization in this world. As soon as he stepped into the military camp, Wang Wu could feel an aura that made him extremely uncomfortable.

The impact of this aura on Wu Lian behind him was even more obvious. As soon as the two monsters entered the door, Wang Wu heard Wu Lian behind him let out a painful whine.

"Ah, why did Wu Lian follow in?" At this time, Situ Jin, who was walking in front, turned around and looked at Wu Lian. In addition to surprise, there was also a little surprise on her face.

Situ Jin walked up to Wu Lian, looked her up and down, and sighed, "She can actually hold on. No wonder she can come into our human town with such brazenness. The magical powers of these monsters are really bizarre."

After saying that, Situ Jin produced a porcelain bottle in his hand and handed it to Wang Wu beside him: "Give it to her, it will make her feel much better."

Wang Wu nodded, took the porcelain bottle and handed it to Wu Lian. After taking the pills in the porcelain bottle, the painful expression on Wu Lian's face soon calmed down. "Let's go." Seeing that Wu Lian was stable, Situ Jin waved his hand.

The man and two monsters continued to move forward and finally arrived at the big tent of the Hexi County garrison camp.

"Captain Situ!! Captain Situ!!"

As soon as he entered the door, a man wearing general's armor came up to Situ Jin with an attentive look on his face and nodded and bowed to him.

He was just about to say something to the other party, but his peripheral vision happened to catch sight of Wang Wu and Wu Lian, so his movements suddenly froze.

"Let's talk about it later." Situ Jin made a gesture, and the latter immediately left the tent.

Situ Jin asked Wang Wu and the others to come to the big tent not to discuss anything with them, but just to go through the formalities, mainly for Wu Lian.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was able to accept monsters to live normally in its society as non-slaves, although for ordinary monsters who had no connections, this would take a long time.

You have to make contributions to the empire before it will accept you. It's a simple truth.

"You entered our human town to repay a favor, but were brutally enslaved and became a tool for others. From then on, you were controlled by others and had no control over your own behavior."

Situ Jin sat on the chief officer's chair in the tent, half lying in a lazy posture, looking at Wu Lian who was kneeling on the ground in front of him and said: "Although it is indeed understandable and quite pitiful, it is still a sin of killing too many people."

"Even if there are extenuating circumstances, you should still be forced to work for a hundred years before you can regain your freedom. And if you join our Great Zhou and become a citizen of our Great Zhou, you will have to serve our Great Zhou for another hundred years."

"However, for my brother's sake, I can make the decision and spare you the hard labor."

After saying that, a jade slip was thrown in front of Wu Lian.

"Your deeds have been recorded. This jade slip can prove your innocence. If you want to join my Great Zhou, you should first serve in my Demon Suppression Department for a hundred years."

Situ Jin said.

"I bow to thank you, sir."

Wu Lian knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Situ Jin in front of her.

"Alright." Situ Jin stood up, "Follow me to Hedong County and settle this matter."

"Yes……"

…………

Wang Wu always felt that something was wrong, even though this woman had always presented him with a very positive image since they met:

Honest, but flexible. Kind, and likes to make a little joke. He is open-minded towards the demons, sympathizing with Wu Lian's tragic experience and expressing indignation at Ximen Pei's behavior.

But Wang Wu just felt that something was wrong.

He couldn't tell what was wrong, but... why did he always feel that there was something strange about the image presented by this woman?
Never mind. No matter if it smells bad or not, let's just solve this problem first.

At this time, the sun had already set and the world outside was pitch black, but the Demon-Suppressing Army did not seem to be afraid of the night.

After selecting twelve elite cavalrymen under his command, Situ Jin took Wang Wu and Wu Lian out of the city, and his destination was Hedong County.

The war horses ridden by these Demon-Suppressing Army are extremely fast. Even though they are wearing heavy armor, they can still run at a speed of nearly 180 kilometers per hour.

This has far exceeded the maximum speed of the cheetahs in Wang Wu's hometown, and is almost close to the maximum speed of the swordfish in the ocean.

But this is not surprising, after all, these war horses are monsters.

Hedong and Hexi counties are only a hundred kilometers apart, which is only about half an hour's journey for a war horse like this.

Soon, the group arrived at Hedong County without having to reveal their identities. After seeing the feather decorations on the top of the Demon-Suppressing Army's helmets, the soldiers guarding the city gate notified the soldiers guarding the gate below.

Along with the sound of gears turning, the city gate slowly opened. With the scattered light and noisy voices, a colorful world replaced the previous darkness and appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! The Demon Suppression Army is coming! Everyone, get out of the way!!!"

The soldiers shouted and drove the pedestrians on the road loudly, and soon a wide road was cleared.

The horses' hooves stomped on the ground, making a thunderous sound. A line of cavalry entered the city, and the city gate slowly closed, no longer emitting light.

‘Boom——’

There was a muffled sound, and the outside of the city fell into silence again.

Hedong County, Ximen Prefecture.

"Silkworm Mother, Silkworm Mother!! I, I...I'm almost there...!!!!"

"Master Ximen."

Just when Ximen Pei was on the verge of exploding, a voice was like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the burning flames.

Ximen Pei stopped suddenly and looked outside the bedroom door with red eyes.

"The Demon Suppression Army is here, sir."

The anger on his face disappeared instantly. Ximen Pei threw down the sword he had picked up, walked quickly to the door, and asked in a deep voice:
"Why are they here? Why?"

"I don't know, but they asked you to come over. The two real masters of the clan are also ready, and you are the only one missing." The voice continued to come from outside the door.

After hearing what the person outside the door said, Ximen Pei's expression changed. After a moment of silence, he nodded.

"understood."

Hedong County Government Office.

In an open space, Ximen Pei, two real people from his clan, and the county magistrate were kneeling on the ground. In front of them was Situ Jin, who was sitting on a chair and drinking tea.

Wang Wu stood next to Situ Jin, holding a knife in his hand, looking like her bodyguard. He heard Sun Fei's roar in the distance, but Wang Wu only listened for a while and then stopped paying attention.

After all, it is really hard to accept that your wife is a monster, but you have to accept it now.

Sun Da had no opinion on this matter. After knowing about Wu Lian's situation, he felt quite distressed for Wu Lian.

He could save Wu Lian, a monster he didn't know and might even be dangerous to him. Now he can naturally accept Wu Lian, his "brother's wife", who came to the county town to repay a favor but ended up being enslaved.

Moreover, even though she was enslaved, Wu Lian never forgot to repay her gratitude.

After Wu Lian married into the Sun family, the Sun family's life was indeed getting better and better. Sun Da had told his wife Ruoniang more than once that he thought Wu Lian was a good wife, and it was a great honor for his brother to marry such a wife...

That's it, that's it.

But Sun Fei is different from his brother. He hates monsters because one of his brothers died in the mouth of a monster. He once vowed to avenge his brother, but he was just an ordinary warrior and there was no hope for revenge.

Now that his beloved wife has turned into a monster, one can imagine the devastation he has suffered.

"Simon Pei?"

After returning to the open space and drinking tea for a while, Situ Jin put down the teacup, looked at Ximen Pei who was kneeling in the front, and spoke.

"The subordinate is here."

Although he was kneeling, Ximen Pei's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Drag him away and kill him." Seeing Ximen Pei's attitude, Situ Jin immediately lost interest and gave the order with a wave of his hand.

Immediately, two demon-suppressing soldiers came forward and grabbed Ximen Pei, trying to drag him down. Ximen Pei panicked and begged for mercy:

"Big, my lord! My lord!!!"

"Ha ha……"

At this time, seeing the extremely terrified expression on Ximen Pei's face, Situ Jin also laughed.

Her smile made Wang Wu look at her a few more times. It was not because she was beautiful or attracted to him, but he felt that at this moment, she was probably what a woman really looked like.

Sure enough, after laughing for a while, Situ Jin picked up the teacup on the table in front of him again, swaying it, staring straight at Ximen Pei, and asked:

"Where did the group of monks who entered the Dead Soul Mountain go after they came out?"

After this sentence was spoken, Wang Wu immediately understood.

Of course, she came here not just to help Wang Wu, whom she had known for less than a day, solve his problem. In other words, whether Wang Wu showed up or not, it would not affect her coming to Hedong County to capture Ximen Pei for interrogation.

Of course, she did solve Wu Lian's problem, but that was clearly not the main goal for her.

For example, if a side quest is triggered during the main quest, and you can solve it easily, then you can solve it naturally. It costs little and can also improve your favorability, so why not?

Of course, no matter what the other party's original intention was, she did help Wang Wu. After all, if Wang Wu were to handle this matter by himself, it would be quite troublesome.

So Wang Wu didn't care about this matter and still felt grateful to her.

only……

Hearing Situ Jin mention "that group of monks", Wang Wu couldn't help but think of Zhao Xingyue and the others. But combined with the following words, this was obviously not that group of people.

Looking at Ximen Pei's terrified and confused expression on the ground, Situ Jin narrowed her eyes, and a strong sense of pressure pressed on Ximen Pei along with her words:
"Half a year ago, the group of Luo family monks entered the Dead Soul Mountain."

After hearing this, Wang Wu now knew who it was.

They were the group of people who robbed Yuan’s tomb before Zhao Xingyue and the others.
