My Wife is A Sword God

In the city of Qiyuan, the two biggest bosses unexpectedly took an interest in the same person, leaving everyone present astonished.

Qin Feng himself hadn’t expected to be in such high demand. However, upon careful consideration, he understood. Truly outstanding men are like fireflies in the dark night, remarkable wherever they go.

Li Mingxuan looked towards Zhou Kai, and the two locked eyes in mid-air, seemingly creating sparks.

The atmosphere became tense for a moment.

Li Mingxuan was the first to speak, smiling slightly, “Young Master Qin is a renowned physician, following the path of literature saint traditions. Joining the officialdom to benefit the people is his way of cultivation. On the other hand, the duties of the Demon Slaying Department involve combating demons and evil spirits, which are incompatible with his pursuits. Lord Zhou, both in sentiment and reason, should let him join our governor’s office.”

“Governor Li, your words are incorrect. You also know that members of the Demon Slaying Department often suffer severe injuries in the course of battling demons. A highly skilled physician is irreplaceable for us. Moreover, who says practitioners of the literature saint path cannot showcase their talents in the Demon Slaying Department? As far as I know, many practitioners of the literature saint path have excelled in the military, rapidly advancing in their cultivation. It is the same in our Demon Slaying Department.”

“Governor, I implore you to relent and not compete with me for him again.” Zhou Kai stood up and respectfully bowed.

Li Mingxuan naturally would not agree and presented various arguments to prove that Qin Feng should join the governor’s office.

Zhou Kai, unwilling to back down, raised many points, believing that Qin Feng was more suitable for the Demon Slaying Department.

The two argued fiercely, each unable to persuade the other. Behind their amicable smiles, the scent of gunpowder was unmistakable.

Old man, Li Mingxuan, cursed inwardly. You dare try to snatch someone from me?

Still holding a grudge about the incident with the Dragon Protection Monument, Zhou Kai was not letting it go.

Realizing that continuing this way would lead to no resolution, the two, who had understood this, looked at Qin Feng together and asked, “Young man (Young Master Qin), which side are you willing to join?”

Why is the fire burning in my direction again?

Qin Feng swallowed hard, hesitating before responding.

The question of choosing which side to join seemed like a multiple-choice question, but in reality, it was a life-or-death proposition.

It’s similar to a situation in a past life when your girlfriend forced you to answer, “If both your mom and I fell into the water, whom would you save first?”

Regardless of which side you choose, the answer is always wrong!

So when faced with such a question, if you want to escape unscathed, you must be tactful and ensure you don’t offend either side.

Realizing this, Qin Feng took a deep breath and said, “Thank you both for your kindness towards this junior. However, I’m sorry to disappoint, but I must decline the goodwill of both esteemed individuals.”

Upon hearing this, the onlookers widened their eyes. This guy was incredibly audacious, daring to reject both sides simultaneously!

Li Mingxuan furrowed his brows slightly, while Zhou Kai had a half-smile on his face.

Both were waiting for Qin Feng’s explanation.

“In Jinyang City, there are family and friends that I care about. Whether I choose to join the Governor’s Mansion or enter the Demon Slaying Department, it’s destined that I’ll have to leave Jinyang City and part ways with them. In such turbulent times, no one knows what will happen tomorrow. Therefore, I just want to stay with them in Jinyang City.”

“But please rest assured, if there’s ever a need for me, I will definitely go through fire and water, without hesitation.”

Qin Feng spoke sincerely, and Li Mingxuan and Zhou Kai exchanged a glance, both shaking their heads.

“Well, since your aspirations lie elsewhere, I won’t say much. When you come to your senses in the future, feel free to visit the Governor’s Mansion and look for me.” After leaving these words, Li Mingxuan departed with his officials without any hesitation.

It had to be said that Qin Feng had a favorable impression of this Governor. His tone was amicable, and he was straightforward.

“Kid” Zhou Kai suddenly shouted.

Qin Feng, upon hearing this, was startled. Was this grudge-holding old man going to seek revenge on the spot and make things difficult for him?

“Why are you so afraid?”

“Nothing, really” Qin Feng felt a bit guilty.

Zhou Kai raised an eyebrow, casually throwing a white jade token to Qin Feng.

This wasn’t the Demon Slaying Token, but a white jade token with the character “阁” (Ge) engraved in the middle.

“Lord Zhou, what is this?”

“Earlier, to protect the Dragon Protection Monument, you consumed one of your life-saving treasure. Technically, I should compensate you with something equivalent. However, life-saving treasures like True Manifestation Of Life Source are too precious, and we, the Demon Slaying Department, have limited quantities. Each life-saving true manifestation is at least equivalent to the combat power of a Sixth Calamity Cycle. I can’t give you one. So, I’m giving you this token. Go to the Demon Slaying Department’s treasure vault and choose a treasure for yourself.”

Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Although most treasures were not as valuable as life-saving true manifestation, it was better than nothing.

“Lord Zhou.”

“Speak.”

“Can I choose a few more treasures?”

“What do you think?” Zhou Kai smiled kindly, then gave Qin Feng a meaningful look, leaving him to interpret it.

Really stingy. Qin Feng smirked and respectfully took his leave.

As the few people left the hall, Zhang Tiannan also emerged not long after. He said to Qin Feng, “Follow me,” then directly quickened his pace, walking ahead of the group.

Qin Feng understood that Zhou Kai wanted him to lead himself to the treasure vault, so he followed closely.

During the journey, Qin Feng asked the accompanying Si Zheng and Cang Feilan, “Do you have any suggestions for choosing treasures?”

Cang Feilan pondered for a moment and shook her head, “High-level treasures have spirituality and will actively recognize their owner. It’s not about you choosing them; they will let you use them. As for low-level treasures, I haven’t used them.”

Qin Feng opened his mouth, mentally rephrasing her words – Sorry, I don’t have much experience with low-level treasures; I can’t give you any advice.

But if I can find a high-level treasure in the treasure vault, it seems like a good deal?

Si Zheng saw through Qin Feng’s thoughts and poured cold water on him, “Don’t even think about high-level treasures. Those things have long been plundered by the Demon Slaying experts above the Red Lotus. You won’t have a chance. Be satisfied if you can find a handy treasure.”

Exactly as expected. Qin Feng sighed.

Si Zheng spoke again, “Since you cultivate the Literature Saint Dao Lineage, it’s best to choose treasures activated by Literature Qi. Treasures can be categorized into four types: offensive, defensive, sealing, and puppetry. Let’s not talk about puppetry; it’s too rare, and I’ve only seen people from the Divine Craftsman Workshop use it. As for the remaining three types, there’s no inherent ranking; it depends on what you need the most.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng fell into contemplation.

Choosing a defensive treasure could enhance his self-defense ability, complementing the characteristics of the Literature Saint Dao Lineage. However, he might end up turning into a living turtle shell.

A sealing treasure would control the enemy, which was not bad, as immobilized enemies posed no threat. However, such treasures usually had a casting delay. What if the enemy was too fast and could eliminate me before I finish casting?

Imagining that scenario, Qin Feng couldn’t help but shudder.

Thinking about it, an offensive treasure seemed the most suitable. After all, for a man, offense is the best defense!

Wait, no, there seems to be another saying: If you don’t understand defense, how can you attack?

Qin Feng smirked, his face showing a complicated expression.

“Master Si.”

“What’s wrong? Have you decided on the type of treasure?”

“No, I just wanted to ask if there’s a treasure that combines offense and defense, with a built-in sealing effect.”

“Get lost.”

“Okay.”
