Chapter 32: What are you looking at?!

Identifying the demon.

There was only one toad in the entire stone cave, so there was nothing to identify. Therefore, Wei Changtian's words meant nothing more than sending Zhang Hongwen into the demon's mouth.

It's no wonder Wei Changtian had such an impulsive thought.

The reasoning behind this is similar to the ban on chemical weapons in the wars of the previous life.

Killing people with real swords and guns is acceptable, but being anti-human is too much.

Obviously, many people at the moment had the same idea as him, so as soon as he said this, he immediately received a response from many yamen runners around him.

However, Commander Huang was still calm. After thinking for a moment, he advised in a serious tone: "Young Master Wei, if Zhang Hongwen uses humans to feed the demon, he will definitely be subjected to extreme punishments such as being sliced into a thousand pieces. Dying in the demon's mouth would be letting him off easy."

"Moreover, if he dies now, it will inevitably give people something to talk about, and he may be used by villains in the future."

"So, what do you think…"

Commander Huang was a little nervous at this time.

In fact, he also wanted to kill Zhang Hongwen immediately, but he knew very well that doing so would only bring more trouble besides a moment of pleasure.

He just didn't know if Wei Changtian would listen to him.

The stone cave suddenly became quiet, and even the locked toad demon seemed to understand human speech, staring at Wei Changtian with its eyes.

"…"

After a long silence, Wei Changtian finally shook his head: "If that's the case… then let's forget it."

"The young master is wise!"

Commander Huang breathed a sigh of relief, but the others felt a little aggrieved.

However, at this moment, two sounds of metal clashing and a roar suddenly resounded through the stone cave.

"Clang!"

"Whoosh!"

"What the hell are you looking at!"

The peace just now disappeared instantly. Wei Changtian shouted violently, drew his saber from Xu Qingwan's waist, and then suddenly threw it towards the toad demon's left eye.

This time, he used all his internal force. The blade "hissed" as it cut through the air, and in the blink of an eye, it was less than a few inches away from the demon's eye.

But the toad's reaction was quick enough. At the last moment, it finally closed its eyelids.

"Clang!"

As if hitting a shield, the sharp tip of the blade failed to penetrate the eyelid. The blade paused for a moment and then lost its momentum, showing a falling trend.

There was no way around it. This toad demon had fifty years of cultivation, and if it weren't for the chains binding it, its combat power would be almost equivalent to a fifth-rank expert.

Although the eyelids should be the most fragile part of its skin, it was not something that Wei Changtian could break through with a single throw.

The toad with its eyes closed, the countless scattered limbs and bones around it, and the precarious willow-leaf saber.

Alas…

Someone sighed, seemingly regretting Wei Changtian's failed sneak attack.

However, in the next moment, everyone saw a black shadow that had somehow leaped high above the toad's head.

"Damn it!"

Wei Changtian looked at the ugly toad head close at hand, gritted his teeth, and kicked the hilt of the saber hard.

The foot as a hammer, the saber as a nail.

Dozens of iron chains suddenly tightened. After the toad demon felt the pain, it instantly opened its bloody mouth and struggled frantically.

At this time, Wei Changtian had already used the recoil force to land steadily back to his original place.

Feeling the surprised gazes from everyone, including Xu Qingwan, he felt a burst of joy in his heart.

Damn it! I'm just too handsome!

No wonder Xiao Feng in the novels loves to pretend so much!

It's so damn good!!

…

Half an hour later.

After struggling in vain for a long time, the toad demon returned to calm again, and there were no dog-blood scenes like breaking free from the chains.

After Wei Changtian calmed down, he also reflected on his actions just now.

Impulsive!

Still impulsive!

He shouldn't have gone up to make that kick at the end!

Although this way he failed to show off, what if the big toad had suddenly swallowed him in one bite? Who would he reason with then!

The more Wei Changtian thought about it, the more afraid he became, and he instantly decided never to do this again in the future.

Showing off is okay, but it must be done under sufficiently safe circumstances…

His expression was extremely serious, but Commander Huang next to him didn't know what he was thinking. After holding back for a long time, he finally couldn't help but shout twice.

"Young Master Wei… Young Master Wei?"

"Ah?"

Wei Changtian came back to his senses, looked at the crowd waiting for his orders, and suddenly remembered that he still had something to do at the Zhang residence today.

"Lord Huang, take people to deal with this toad demon. Kill it if you should, and take it back to the Demon Suppression Prison if you should."

"I'll go out and get some fresh air first."

"Yes, young master, please feel free to go."

Commander Huang bowed and responded, took over the command, and began to deal with the big toad.

Wei Changtian took a look, then took Xu Qingwan out of the secret room, said a few words to the yamen runners guarding outside, and then went directly out of Zhang Hongwen's bedroom.

Standing in the courtyard and taking a deep breath, he then walked seemingly casually towards the outside of the courtyard.

Xu Qingwan still followed closely beside him, the red rope tied in her hair swaying slightly in the wind.

The two walked side by side for a while, and Wei Changtian suddenly asked casually: "You usually work at Willow Leaf, do you often encounter cases of feeding demons?"

"I have encountered a few, not many."

Xu Qingwan thought for a moment and said softly: "I have seen many cases of demons eating people, but using humans to feed demons… today is the first time I have seen it."

"I don't know what the purpose is of raising such a demon with such means."

"To prolong life."

Wei Changtian glanced at the somewhat surprised Xu Qingwan and replied: "Zhang Hongwen contracted a strange disease and should have died long ago, but later he accidentally obtained a partial prescription and found that he could use the venom secreted from the toad demon's corner of the eye to prolong his life."

"However, this venom must be obtained by feeding the demon with human flesh."

"At first, he would go to find the corpses of some dead people to feed it, but where are there so many fresh dead people? Moreover, bringing dead people into the mansion is not as convenient as living people."

"So gradually, he has come to this day."

"…"

Because it was close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon today was already full and round. The entire Zhang residence was quiet, as if it was colder than anywhere else in the world.

Xu Qingwan was stunned for a long time before nodding her head gently.

"I see."

She didn't ask how Wei Changtian knew, and Wei Changtian didn't say anything more.

The two were silent for a while, until they stopped in front of an ancient willow tree.

Xu Qingwan looked at Wei Changtian, who was looking around, and was a little curious: "What's wrong? What are you looking for?"

"Looking for… Found it!"

Wei Changtian's face lit up, and he reached out and pressed on a raised part of the tree trunk: "Hahahaha, I'll take you to a good place!"

"Huh?"

Xu Qingwan was confused at first, but she soon knew where the "good place" that Wei Changtian was talking about was.

Looking at the square hole that suddenly appeared on the ground, she opened her mouth in surprise: "Another secret room?"

"Yes! But this one doesn't have any monsters!"

Wei Changtian had already put half of his body into the hole, holding onto the wooden ladder. His joy was overflowing: "Hurry up! It's full of your favorite things inside!"
