As an official, what's wrong with raising a few monsters?

Chapter 3: The Young Master is Such a Good Person
"Let's go Fuyao, let's find a city and see what's going on~"

Although the Qihuo No. 5 plan failed, it was not too bad after all because we encountered Qingzhu, an unexpected surprise.

As for the women and children who were tied up, Mingchen didn't even look at them.

These people were of no value to him.

The bandits had been dealt with, and the crude straw rope was not difficult to break free from.

If they need help from others even to untie themselves, they will not be able to survive in the future.

In troubled times, human life is worthless.

There are too many people like this in this era.

Mingchen was a warm-hearted person with a cold heart, and he didn't have any extra kindness. He wasn't interested in gaining their gratitude, and besides...it wasn't certain that he would receive it.

He didn't want to be relied upon or coerced.

The world is like this, it doesn't make sense.

The people are suffering, the people are desperate, the people are angry, the people are resisting...

This itself is reincarnation.

The accumulated anger and despair are enough, and life will find its own way to survive.

Mingchen didn't want to get involved for the time being, as he had his own things to do.

This time he left home, nominally to go to Beijing for the imperial examination, but in fact it was also to go to Beijing for the imperial examination.

Take a look at what this world with demons and ghosts is like, see if there is any room for management in the court and temples, and whether he can get an official position. He is good at being a little corrupt.

Go out and see the world, and stay away from that stupid cheap dad at home.

The feudal patriarch was fine in other respects, at least he ensured that he could live a worry-free life in this not-so-good world, but his desire for control was too strong.

Manipulate life, manipulate the future, manipulate the family.

When he has nothing to do, he uses the principles of loyalty and filial piety to morally blackmail him, and gets angry when he loses the debate.

Look at you, you're anxious again.jpg
If you don't slip away soon, I'll arrange a marriage for him.

Going to the capital to take the imperial examination was also an agreement that Mingchen had made.

"Okay~"

The little bird is naturally 100% obedient. Mingchen doesn't care about others, so she cares even less about others.

Accompanied by the howling of strong winds, the figure disappeared.

It was a dark night, the bonfire was blown out, and the women and children who were tied up had no idea what was happening.

All I saw was the strange green flames that suddenly appeared and lit up one by one, and heard the bandits' terrified shouts.

It seems like someone is coming.

Then, everything returned to calm.

All they could do was feel fear and tension.

They have never had the power to control their own destiny.

Until dawn, when the sun shone on the earth again, they also saw the lifeless corpse on the ground.

Somehow, they were saved.

Thank God, thank you for the blue flame.

People were in tears, filled with gratitude.

……

"This place is nice."

The weather was clear and the sun was shining brightly.

The bird flapped its wings and flew high into the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Mingchen entered the city gate and looked at the city with interest.

This is a county town not far from the capital, called Wangyang.

There was a bustling bustle of people coming and going, and there were wine shops, groceries, markets...business was booming.

Although people are in a hurry to make a living and their clothes are not rich, it is still better than being naked.

This is rare.

After all, Mingchen had just seen the dilapidated and lifeless village not long ago.

"Tell me, what would you order?"

Mingchen leaned against the chair in the inn, weighed the green bamboo in his hand, and asked with interest.

"emmm..."

Qingzhu trembled and replied, "The little demon doesn't know any powerful magic."

"My greatest proficiency is the art of guiding dreams."

"The little demon can simply guide people's dreams and lead them into a certain scene, but it has no real effect. If the other party notices it, the magic will be useless."

"Oh? Born?"

"intrinsic."

Mingchen raised his eyebrows and asked, "What if I want you to give me some sweet dreams?"

Sir, are you so direct in your words?
Chun Meng asked directly. Qing Zhu paused and replied, "This has nothing to do with good dreams or nightmares. Good dreams are the same. Since you already know that I can guide dreams, I can't guide your dreams."

"Well, that's so tasteless!"

Qingzhu: ...

The young master was somewhat hurt.

"What about the others? What else can you do?"

Qingzhu: "Sir, Qingzhu doesn't have any special skills, this is all I can do."

"Tsk~"

He is just a little monster, so the requirements cannot be too high.

Mingchen was playing with the little thing, and seemed to have thought of something, so he asked, "Can you change size?"

Qingzhu said: "Okay."

After saying that, the palm-sized green bamboo in Mingchen's hand grew a section for no reason.

It's not that long, only half the length.

"Oh?"

Mingchen became interested again: "Can it grow longer?"

"No, it will take another hundred years to repair it."

Mingchen was disappointed: "It's too short!"

The ultimate youth version of the golden cudgel.

Qingzhu felt that the young master was a bit impolite.

"Can it be shortened?"

"can."

"Can it change faster?"

"can."

"Can you move a little?"

"Okay."

"Can it change shape?"

"No, but I can't say for sure in the future."

Mingchen nodded: "Yeah, okay, I understand."

"Since you don't want to follow me, do you have any requirements for where to go?"

"Whose rich family's grave shall I bury you in?"

After completing the other party's hint, Mingchen can get the benefits of fulfilling his wish.

My own old ghost is an example. Thanks to the fruit of the other party's wish, he is now in very good health.

Even if it was Guan Erye, he would have to be slapped twice before being killed.

So he still cares about it.

There is no way to deal with Fuyao’s problem in the short term.

When I got to the city, I took care of the matter of the little bamboo monster.

"Uh... Young Master is thoughtful."

This strange person I met is such a good person!

Qingzhu felt warm in his empty heart.

Not only did he not kill me, he also planned a place for me to go and even knew where I wanted to go.

If the bird hadn't been so oppressive, Qingzhu would have really wanted to stay with Mingchen.

"If possible, Qingzhu hopes to be worn by wealthy people."

Finally, he added, "Please rest assured, Qingzhu will not harm anyone's life."

At most it can absorb some of the person's essence.

Rich people have a noble air, eat well, and have abundant energy. Unlike bandits, they are full of evil spirits and are plagued by resentment and disaster.

He didn't dare say the rest.

But even if I told him, Mingchen might not care.

"Okay, that's all I ask for, right?"

"As long as we send it to a wealthy family and let them wear it, that's all that's fine, right?"

Mingchen stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then seemed to have thought of something and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter where you wear it, right?"

"Uh...ok!"

I don’t know how,

Looking at Mingchen's smile, Qingzhu inexplicably had a bad feeling.

Since you are helping him, there shouldn't be any big problems.
