Monster, come to my bowl

Since her husband and daughter are both demon-suppressing guards, Mrs. Xue understands the risks of this job better than anyone else.

People like Xue Xiong, who are "forced" to return to their hometown to retire due to injuries and disabilities, are considered the luckiest.

Most of the Demon Suppression Guards don’t even live to retire!

The higher Xue Yi's talent for martial arts became, the more worried she, as a mother, became.

As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility!

As a combat member of the Demon-Suppressing Guard, Xue Yi's higher martial arts skills mean that the more powerful the demons he faces, the greater the risks he faces.

As a mother, what Mrs. Xue least wants to see is her precious daughter risking her life every day to fight those powerful demons.

Even if her daughter might achieve great success in the future, the lady wouldn't care.

What she hoped most was that her daughter could find a reliable and ideal husband, become a rich lady like herself, and live a peaceful and stable life.

Previously, Mrs. Xue accidentally heard two servants discussing privately that the eldest daughter had an ambiguous relationship with Manager Cai. She was furious on the spot and ordered people to beat up the gossiping servants.

But today, she unexpectedly discovered that Cai Ji was a hidden master, and had not yet joined the blood-thirsty Demon-Suppressing Guards. The lady's thoughts immediately took a 180-degree turn.

Isn’t someone like Cai Ji the son-in-law she has always hoped for?

He has no money?

What is money?

The Xue Mansion has plenty of them!

He has no background?

What do you need a background for?

It’s better to be a live-in son-in-law!

Is he bald?

What's baldness?

You can wear a green hat!

Oh no, the green one is too conspicuous...

Tuk-tuk-tuk!

"Master, Madam, I'm back."

While he was pondering, the servant who had just been sent knocked on the door.

"Come in and talk." Cai Xiong ordered casually.

Squeak!

The door opened and the servant came up to the two of them in small steps.

As Mr. Xue's confidant, this servant obviously holds a senior professional title and is quite capable.

"Master, I went to see the old camphor tree, and one of its branches had indeed fallen down. The branch was as thick as a bowl, and together with the branches and leaves on it, it was about six feet long and weighed about one hundred kilograms. The broken end was as smooth as a mirror, as if it had been cut by some magical weapon. There were also two wormholes at the broken end, and there was a worm in one of the wormholes. Unfortunately, it was cut into two pieces, the upper half was still alive, and the lower half was dead." Without the boss asking any questions, the trusted servant recounted in detail what he had seen.

"What did you say? The broken end is as smooth as a mirror?" Cai Xiong used to be a demon-suppressing guard and was good at grasping the key points. His expression changed immediately.

"Yes, sir! How about I go and move the broken branches over here?" The trusted servant took the initiative to ask.

"No need! Just find a place and bury the branches! Don't disclose what happened today to anyone, go quickly." Cai Xiong trusted his confidant very much and gave the order directly.

"Yes!" The trusted servant took the order and went down to carry it out immediately.

The old couple were left in the study again.

"Do you believe it now?" Mrs. Xue spoke again.

"I believe it!" Mr. Xue nodded and said to himself solemnly, "Not only did I believe it, but I was also scared."

"What scared you?" the lady expressed confusion.

"The fracture is as smooth as a mirror..." Xue Xiong touched his chin and muttered to himself, "As far as I know, although the fifth-rank demon-suppressing guard can release spiritual power, the sword energy and knife energy released cannot be condensed into a line!"

"What do you mean?" the lady asked, not understanding.

"What I mean is, if a fifth-rank demon-suppressing guard uses a demon-slaying sword to attack a demon from a distance, the sword energy he releases will lash the demon like a whip. The reason is that the spiritual power is not concentrated enough to achieve the same cutting effect as a blade! Only when one's cultivation reaches a higher level and condenses the spiritual power into an extremely thin line, can it be called cutting!" Master Xue explained, his eyes rolling around.

Although he is a rough and crude warrior, he is meticulous.

After Xue Xiong was sure that his wife was not telling a ghost story, he had a completely different understanding of Cai Ji's true strength and identity.

When Cai Ji was unconscious, he personally checked Cai Ji's body and found that this kid had never learned martial arts or cultivated spiritual power, and his body bones were no different from those of ordinary people.

But now, the facts destroyed his judgment!

Master Xue had to rethink a completely new and awe-inspiring possibility - Cai Ji had practiced cultivation before, but had already reached the realm of "returning to nature"!

Cai Ji not only lived in seclusion in the city spiritually, but also returned to simplicity physically.

If his wife hadn't discovered it by accident, it would be almost impossible for ordinary people to see through his true level of cultivation!

"You mean, Shopkeeper Cai is not even a fifth-rank official?" Mrs. Xue was even more frightened when she heard her husband's explanation. She asked repeatedly, "Is he a fourth-rank official? A third-rank official? Or a first-rank official?"

"First-grade is impossible!" Xue Xiong shook his head upon hearing this. "How many first-grade are there in our human race? Apart from the five great deities in charge of the five main cities, there are only a few old seniors in seclusion. Although I have never seen them in action, according to the public battle reports of the demon-suppressing guards, the great deity of our Tongtian City once shattered a cave occupied by a great demon with one sword."

"What's the point of breaking the cave into pieces? That doesn't condense the spiritual energy into a line!" Mrs. Xue learned and applied it immediately, and subconsciously began to speak for Cai Ji.

At this moment, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Cai Ji was suitable to be a son-in-law.

"It's not that it can't be done, but that it's unnecessary!" Master Xue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked back: "The Great God of Destiny wants to destroy the Great Demon Cave, and what he wants is to reach everywhere with his power. What's the point of cutting a line?"

"Humph! You are the only one who knows more!" Seeing her husband dare to argue, the wife snorted in dissatisfaction: "Then tell me, how should we entertain Manager Cai in the future?"

"How to entertain..." Xue Xiong thought for a moment and said seriously, "How to entertain now is how to entertain in the future, no need to change!"

"Why?" the lady asked.

"Think about it, Manager Cai has such a high level of cultivation, but he neither works as a demon-suppressing guard nor accumulates wealth for pleasure. Instead, he runs a small restaurant in our Nanshan Town and leads an ordinary life away from the world. He does this simply because he doesn't want to show up in public and just wants to live in peace! If we treat him differently, wouldn't that be contrary to his original intention?" Mr. Xue, who is rough but meticulous, explained confidently.

Although Mrs. Xue was very satisfied with her husband's explanation, she was still a little confused: "What you said does make sense. But as far as I know, in recent days, Shopkeeper Cai, in addition to eating and drinking lavishly every day, has also used the money given by Ayi to show off on the street whenever he has time..."

"Hey, this is what you don't understand!" Xue Xiong interrupted his wife and explained, "Think about it, from the perspective of outsiders, Shopkeeper Cai got close to our Xue Mansion by chance and took the opportunity to show off outside. Doesn't that look like a tiger's skin and a big banner? Or like a villain getting ahead?"

"Yeah, that's a bit like that." Mrs. Xue nodded.

"Then tell me, what kind of person would do this?" Mr. Xue asked with a smile.

"A vulgar villain!" the lady answered without hesitation.

"A vulgar villain, that's right!" Xue Xiong chuckled and said complacently: "What Shopkeeper Cai wants to be is just an ordinary and vulgar person, right?"

"Eh?" Mrs. Xue thought for a moment and said with surprise, "Old man, when did you become so smart? You can actually think of this?"

"This is called coarse yet delicate!" Mr. Xue answered proudly.
