#157 - Make a fortune

Chapter 157: Earning Big Time

Demons.

Not only Qing Xian, but even Qin Zhengqiu and Yang Liushi didn't expect Wei Changtian to propose such a condition.

Asking the Demon King for demons?

What does he want demons for?

"Young Master Wei,"

Qing Xian frowned, puzzled, and asked, "Please explain more clearly, what exactly do you want to do?"

Asking the Demon King to send demons for him to kill was undoubtedly excessive, but it wasn't unacceptable to Qing Xian.

After all, those demons that hadn't yet transformed were not under her control, and she didn't care about their lives.

However...

"Young Master Wei, this matter is not impossible."

Qing Xian pondered for a moment, and finally asked, "But I wonder why you want to kill so many demons?"

"Why doesn't Your Majesty the Demon King need to worry about it."

With Qin Zhengqiu backing him, Wei Changtian's tone was also firm, "A mere hundred or so demons with less than fifty years of cultivation are nothing to you."

"But rescuing a great demon from the Demon Suppression Prison is not something anyone can do."

"I believe Your Majesty the Demon King understands this."

"..."

There was another brief silence.

If it weren't for Qin Zhengqiu, Qing Xian would definitely have asked for a reason, but now...

"Forget it, since that's the case, then I won't ask."

Nodding, Qing Xian said seriously, "I agree to your request, Young Master."

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Demon King."

Wei Changtian cupped his fist calmly, but he was still a little excited in his heart.

He had been thinking about how to quickly improve his realm, and after thinking about it, he still felt that relying on the supernatural power "Demon Capture" to absorb cultivation was the most reliable.

But he wasn't Xiao Feng, and without the Demon Identification Compass, it was difficult to find demons, and the source of "experience points" was too unstable.

So he came up with this trick.

With a demon delivered to his door every three days, he could basically ensure that "Demon Capture" was always running at full capacity. If he persisted for a year... tsk tsk tsk, not to mention directly reaching the third rank, reaching the peak of the fourth rank shouldn't be a problem!

Awesome!

Wei Changtian instantly stopped envying Xiao Feng.

So what if you can find demons? A "rich and handsome" guy like me just waits for demons to come to my door!

After that, Wei Changtian discussed the specifics of the "cooperation" with Qing Xian.

Wei Changtian promised to rescue Qiongqi within half a year, while Qing Xian guaranteed that the first demon would be sent to Yanyun Mountain outside Shuzhou City in five days.

After all, it wasn't realistic to really "deliver to the door." It would cause too much commotion, so it was more reliable to arrange the "delivery" location outside the city.

With this matter settled, Wei Changtian's main purpose for this trip was achieved, but in addition to this, there was also a small matter.

He glanced at Yang Liushi, who was standing aside, and suddenly said:

"Your Majesty the Demon King, I have another matter."

"Young Master Wei, please speak freely."

Now that a preliminary cooperative relationship had been established, Qing Xian's tone was a little more casual than before.

She noticed Wei Changtian's gaze and couldn't help but smile, "I'm afraid this matter is related to Liushi, right?"

"Yes."

Wei Changtian didn't beat around the bush and took out a small jade box from his sleeve in Yang Liushi's somewhat surprised gaze.

The lid of the box was opened, and inside was a golden dagger.

"Your Majesty the Demon King, I believe you already know about the matter between me and Liushi."

"I do intend to take her as a concubine, and I hope you will grant my wish."

"Liushi once told me that there are no such formalities in the demon clan, but I want to consider things more carefully. This dagger is called Fallen Leaf, and it is made of dark gold. I hope Your Majesty the Demon King will accept it as a betrothal gift."

"..."

The cold wind howled, blowing the robes and skirts of several people.

After Wei Changtian finished speaking, not only Qing Xian was stunned, but Yang Liushi was also instantly stunned.

She never expected that the second thing Wei Changtian said was about this!

The last time she returned from the Hundred Thousand Mountains, there was a misunderstanding because of this matter, and Wei Changtian's performance at that time was as heartless as possible.

Although Yang Liushi didn't say anything at that time, she was actually very frustrated in her heart.

She thought that Wei Changtian only regarded her as a plaything and never thought of really marrying her.

But who knew that now...

With a pair of big eyes staring blankly at Wei Changtian, Yang Liushi's eyes suddenly became moist.

Although Wei Changtian looked calm on the surface, he was already ecstatic in his heart.

If it weren't for the presence of so many people, he could have even laughed out loud.

【Ding~】

【Detected a change in the plot】

【Reward system points: 200】

Another 200 points were credited!

Yang Liushi, who had always been "verbally obedient but not truly convinced," was finally as convinced as Lu Jingyao!

Wei Changtian hadn't expected this kind of unexpected gain.

The main reason he said these words today was because he felt he owed Yang Liushi something.

Objectively speaking, Yang Liushi was the woman who had helped him the most so far.

Whether it was the previous plan to frame Xiao Feng, or following him to Shuzhou without hesitation, or now using her to get in touch with the Demon King.

Even the daily "exercise"...

Yang Liushi had always been obedient to his requests, but his attitude towards her was no better than his attitude towards Lu Jingyao.

Although Wei Changtian had transmigrated into the body of a villain and had reluctantly done many "villainous" things, it didn't mean that his values only included words like "utilization," "deception," and "playing with."

That's why he gave Yang Liushi such an explanation in front of Qing Xian.

As for the "Fallen Leaf" dagger, it was originally intended as a gift for the Demon King, but Qin Zhengqiu's initial performance was strong enough, so it wasn't needed.

"It is not easy for Young Master Wei to do this."

Qing Xian took a deep look at Wei Changtian, closed the jade box, and then turned to look at Yang Liushi, who was teary-eyed.

"Liushi, sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Demon King..."

Yang Liushi wiped the corners of her eyes and sat down at the Eight Immortals table for the first time.

She secretly glanced at Wei Changtian, her small hands clenched tightly.

"..."

Qing Xian looked at her appearance, shook her head helplessly, and turned her gaze to Wei Changtian.

"Young Master Wei, although our demon clan does not emphasize etiquette, we also know the principle of reciprocity."

"I have accepted this dagger. Feel free to ask for any natural treasures you want, and I will consider them as my dowry for Liushi."

"This..."

Wei Changtian's breathing stagnated.

If it were Xiao Feng, he would definitely say something like "I only need Liushi" or something similar.

But wouldn't it be foolish not to take advantage of the opportunity?!

"Since Your Majesty the Demon King has said so, then I won't be polite!"

"Jade Marrow Fungus, Purple Monkey Flower, Heavenly Spirit Fruit, Seven Star Grass, Xuanbing Flower, Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng..."

Qing Xian: "? ? ?"

Yang Liushi: "? ? ?"

Qin Zhengqiu: "Good! Grandson, the Bodhi Flower and Heavenly Thunder Bamboo are also good. Oh, and you can also ask for some Wood Butterflies. I have great use for them!"

Wei Changtian: "? ? ?"
