Hearing this, Mu Shuiqi turned around and saw that the person coming was a young man with a good figure and appearance.

The young man was probably about the same age as her. He was dressed elegantly, wearing a snow-white fox fur cloak, and was followed by a group of soldiers.

She was holding a lamb chop in her hand and biting some meat in her mouth. "I'm Mu Shuiqi, who are you?"

The man looked at her and smiled, then bowed and said, "I am Qi Lie. I heard on the street that Miss Mu appeared here, so I came to visit her in person."

"Qi Lie?" Her expression seemed to say I have never heard of you.

Qi Lie's attendant stepped forward and scolded her: "How dare you! How dare you call the Third Prince by his honorific name?"

"Third Prince?" She shrugged, looking nonchalant. "I don't know you."

In her dictionary, there is no such thing as a prince, let alone the idea of ​​bowing down to a prince.

"You arrogant fellow, what do you mean by demon-catching master? I think you are just a wild girl." The servant said rudely.

She glared at the servant with a sword unhappily. She was not afraid of monsters, so why should she be afraid of a mortal like him?

"Don't be rude, get out!" Qi Lie sternly dismissed the servant.

If they continued arguing, she bet that the impatient servant would draw his sword on her.

"Qi Lie, I don't know who you are and I'm not interested. What do you want from me?" Her mood for eating lamb chops was ruined and she felt disappointed.

"I am the third prince of the Xiwa Kingdom. Recently, a demon has been harassing Tuo City, and the people are suffering. I and many soldiers have been hunting for it, but we have been defeated and suffered countless casualties." Qi Lie said, clasping his fists and bowing to her. "Thankfully, you subdued the demon and restored peace to Tuo City. Qi Lie is deeply grateful to Miss Mu and has always wanted to thank her in person."

I see. Her portrait was posted on the notice board so they could find her and thank her? A world without cell phones is really inconvenient. If she left Tucheng and never came back, they might never find her in their lifetime.

"You're welcome. It's just a small favor." Her attitude softened and she let down her guard.

"Miss Mu, Qi Lie actually has something to ask of you."

"Oh? Tell me, I may not agree to it."

Qi Lie said, "Miss Mu killed a baby-eating beast, but little did she know there were six of them, and they often appeared together. Qi Lie would like to ask my father to appoint Miss Mu as the Master Monster Hunter of Xiwa Kingdom, and ask her to help me eliminate the other five baby-eating beasts."

She finished chewing the lamb chop in her hand and threw the bone to the stray dog ​​that was drooling at her.

"Is it so easy to get a job in your country? No exams required? How much salary do you get per month? Is there a year-end bonus? How are your working hours arranged daily?"

A series of questions came like a machine gun, leaving Qi Lie stunned.

"I don't care about being a monster catcher," she raised an eyebrow. She found a rag on the table and wiped the grease from her hands. She wanted to eat some candied haws later.

If the ice on Zishang Lake thawed in a few days, she would return to her own world. Go back to school, take exams, get a national scholarship, and work part-time to support herself.

After graduation, if I want to start a business, I can do so. If not, I can join a large internet company and write code. After a few years, I can easily buy an apartment and a car in Yicheng.

Life will definitely not be bad.

Why bother chasing monsters here? You might even lose your life in the Xuanyu.

"Miss, you're asking about how to reward people, right?" Qi Lie said with a smile, "My Xiwa Kingdom will definitely not treat talented people unfairly."

"Oh..." She looked indifferent. No matter how much reward she received, it would not change her mind about going back.

"You will be granted the title of Monster Catcher Master, a noble title, a mansion, and a reward of ten thousand taels of gold..." Qi Lie said.

"Huh?" She became more and more excited as she listened. "Seriously?"

"If you think this is too little, I can offer you a thousand pieces of silk. I offer you my sincere gratitude. I only hope you can help me strangle the baby-eating beast and restore peace to my royal city."

The country of Siva is powerful, rich, and generous!

"If I have already killed the remaining five monsters, will your rewards still count?" she asked anxiously.

"Uh..." Qi Lie didn't quite understand what she meant, "Could it be that the young lady has already wiped them out?"

"..." Should I tell the truth? Would telling the truth mean I would lose my bargaining chip? She was so anxious that she wanted to stamp her feet, as if the rewards were about to fly away.

The quiet Chouchou suddenly spoke up proudly: "My master has already killed those five monsters. He fought one against five! Isn't that amazing? Being your monster catcher is no big deal!"

“…” She felt as if everything in her eyes went dark and she was about to faint from anger.

Stupid stinky thing, she gave it a look that seemed to want to gouge it out.

When everyone heard that she had strangled all the baby-eating beasts, they looked at each other in disbelief. She looked young and slender, so how could she be so powerful?

It’s true that people cannot be judged by their appearance.

Qi Lie was shocked and delighted, his excitement beyond words. Those monsters had been weighing on his heart for a long time, and now, all at once, they were all dealt with.

The hanging stone finally fell to the ground.

"Are you serious? Are the remaining five monsters really all dead?" Qi Lie asked.

"Don't believe it? Just go to the forest in Woshan and you'll see for yourself," she said.

The soldiers behind began to talk. They did feel a big movement in Woshan half an hour ago.

Many people on the street heard it.

Some people heard the roars and screams of the baby-eating beast, but no one dared to go and check.

In order to confirm this matter, Qi Lie immediately sent people to Woshan to check.

By this time, it was already dark.

Qi Lie said, "Miss Mu, I just saw scratches on your clothes on the back. They're stained with blood. Is that from the fight with the baby-eating beast?"

She nodded in agreement. She was so hungry when she got back from Woshan that she came here to eat first. She hadn't had time to go to the clothes shop to buy a new set of clothes.

If Qi Lie hadn't delayed her for some time, she would have put on her new clothes by now.

"How is Miss Mu's injury? I will ask someone to treat her." Qi Lie was sincere and did not have the condescending attitude of a prince at all.

She waved her hand and refused, "No need, my injury is healed. Thank you for your concern."

"But you lost so much blood." The red dress was dyed a deep crimson. Qi Lie could imagine how brave she must have been when fighting the monster. He felt a little more respect for her.

Many girls of her age, especially such a beautiful girl, mostly live in seclusion and never have to do any social activities.

Yet, she was so brave and invincible that she single-handedly eliminated the monster that had plagued Tucheng for half a month. This was something that many brave soldiers could not do, not even he.

Qi Lie said, "Miss Mu, will you please come with me to the palace tonight? I'll have someone send you some new clothes. You can stay in the palace for now, and tomorrow I'll ask my father for a reward."

"Enter the palace?" She hesitated.

She was just here for a few days, and didn't want to leave too many ties here. She didn't want to get involved in these social customs.

The relationships in the palace are complicated, and she is a time traveler. How to explain her origin?

In fact, it didn't matter to him whether he wanted the rewards or not. She wouldn't live here for long, and she couldn't take the money back with her.

Even if I bring the money back, it will be very troublesome to cash it out. How can I explain to others the source of the money?

The gold and coins here all have official seals, and you can't take the house away. At most, you can take some silk back and make it into beautiful clothes. It doesn't make much sense when you think about it. In modern society, as long as you have money, what kind of beautiful clothes can't you buy?

"Forget it, I won't go to the palace with you." She really found it too troublesome. "I don't want those rewards anymore."
