Chapter 14 Marrying into the Family and Cultivating

Qin Shimiao quickly took Su Yu back to the city wall and caught up with him, then flew back into the city.

It seemed that because Su Yu had seen through his identity as a virgin, Qin Shimiao felt a little depressed along the way. The black cat lying on his shoulder occasionally looked back at Su Yu, as if there was some dissatisfaction in its eyes.

As a master and disciple, Su Yu sent Qin Shimiao back home, and then returned to his two thatched houses located in a poor alley.

Looking at the owner's bare "home", the white fox in his arms blinked, seeming to be very curious.

Although mice would cry if they entered this "home", the white fox didn't seem to dislike it at all. After all, this place was definitely much better than the cave among the rocks.

Su Yu put the white fox on the bed and lay down on it himself. He stared at the bare ceiling and couldn't fall asleep for a moment, so he sat cross-legged on the bed.

After relaxing his body and clearing his mind of distractions, he once again sensed the candlelight in the darkness.

This is his soul lamp!

But perhaps because he did not know the method of cultivation, this soul lamp remained unchanged as before.

Qin Shimiao helped him light the soul lamp and found the life object, but did not teach him how to practice.

His current bone-forging realm was all improved by the two pills from the Demonic Record.

It seems that the best thing to do is to continue to put my soul into paper and improve myself.

Thinking of this, Su Yu spread out his limbs and fell asleep on the bed.

The little white fox seemed to be frightened. After whimpering, it glanced at Su Yu who was lying in a big character shape, and then curled up its small body into a ball, with its tail wrapped in front of it to protect itself.

Su Yu took a look at it and suddenly felt curious.

I was so happy along the way that I forgot to check whether this guy was a male or a female.

He reached out and lifted the little fox's tail.

Unexpectedly, the little fox suddenly jumped up reflexively and bared its tiny, sharp white teeth at Su Yu.

"Okay, I won't touch you. Why are you reacting so strongly?"

Su Yu had no choice but to wave his hand and turned around to sleep with his back to the little fox.

The little fox looked at Su Yu warily, and its body shrank into a ball again, with its fluffy tail forming a semicircle in front of it.

……

Early in the morning, Su Yu got up from the bed, glanced at the little fox who was still curled up into a fur ball, turned around and quietly got out of bed.

Fetch water, wash, and tidy up your clothes.

When he looked back at the bed, the little fox had already stood up, looking at him with a pair of dark, shiny eyes.

"You are at home. There are many voles and frogs around here. You can catch them and eat them when you are hungry. But don't run too far or someone will catch you!"

Su Yu left a few steamed buns for the little fox, then waved to it, turned around and walked out of the house.

Chen Wu was the only one running the fried dough sticks stall at the entrance of the alley. His eldest girl didn't come either. He must have been afraid that Su Yu would abduct her away.

"Fifth brother, ten fried dough sticks!"

Although business came to his door, Chen Wu was not very happy. Instead, he looked at Su Yu with some dissatisfaction, then wrapped ten fried dough sticks in lotus leaves and handed them over.

"You little brat, you don't have much ability, but your appetite is getting bigger day by day. Be careful that the two shabby houses in your family are eaten up, and you won't even be able to marry an ugly wife!"

Su Yu took the fried dough sticks and said with a smile:

"It's no big deal if I don't have a house. At most I can just marry into your family!"

Chen Wu's eyebrows immediately stood up, he grabbed the knife for cutting noodles and said loudly:
"You little brat, I'm warning you not to get your hands on my eldest daughter. She's already been promised a husband!"

Su Yu thought that she seemed to be targeting me, but she was too lazy to tease Chen Wu anymore and took out a small piece of silver from her pocket.

When Chen Wu saw the silver, his arrogance immediately diminished, but he still refused to give in:
"There are too many to find!"

"Then leave it here for you. You can talk about it when you've had enough!" Su Yu threw three taels of silver directly into the wooden barrel where Chen Wu collected money, and left with ten fried dough sticks.

Chen Wu picked up the silver coins from the barrel and took a bite of them.

It’s true!
The neighbor nearby smacked his lips:

"This kid seems to be really rich!"

Chen Wu looked at Su Yu's back and spat on the ground again:

"Even if he has some money, don't even think about taking advantage of my daughter, unless... he takes out a... one hundred taels of silver and puts it in front of me right now!"

……

Su Yu naturally has more than a hundred taels on him!

However, he really had no intention of targeting the eldest girl of the Chen family.

You cannot lose your virginity before lighting the six soul lamps, and even if you go to a brothel you can only listen to music.

The practice of the demon painter is like the fried dough stick in his hand, which seems to be very fragrant when you take the first bite, but becomes a bit tasteless as you eat more.

However, I bought the fried dough sticks myself and chose the road myself, so I have to fight even with tears in my eyes.

After a while, they arrived at the Demon Slaying Division. The person in charge today was Mr. Sun. When Sun Dasheng saw him coming out for check-in, his expression was a little more arrogant than usual.

After Mr. Sun checked in, he glanced at Su Yu:
"Su Yu, I heard that you have been accepted as a disciple by Mr. Qin. Congratulations!"

Su Yu bowed and said:
“Thank you, Mr. Sun!”

Sun Dasheng and other young men standing by were very surprised when they heard this.

Although Sun Dasheng has a distant relative, Mr. Sun, who is a demon painter, he himself has never become his apprentice.

However, Su Yu became the disciple of the fifth-grade demon painter Qin Shimiao, which made the young men even more envious.

But after Mr. Sun left, no one asked Su Yu to treat them anymore.

Because Su Yu really had someone backing him up this time, no one dared to look down on him anymore.

There is still nothing happening in the Demon Slaying Division today. After all, it is not every day that a big demon is killed and brought back to the Demon Slaying Division.

Su Yu turned around and went to Qin Shimiao's room.

As master and disciple, the etiquette of greeting each other every day is necessary.

Moreover, Su Yu also wanted to ask him about his method of cultivation. After all, there were no demons or ghosts in the Demon Slaying Division that needed to draw souls these days, so naturally he had not made any progress.

The skinny Qin Shimiao sat at the table, stroking a cat with one hand, looking indifferent.

"The way we practice is actually the same as that of ordinary practitioners. The only difference is that we rely on soul lamps and life objects. You just need to continue practicing according to what Yan Xu taught you before."

Su Yu suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.

Yan Xu didn't teach him any method of cultivation, and he couldn't tell Qin Shimiao that he relied on the Demonic Record to reach the Bone Tempering Realm.

This is a bit difficult to handle!
Qin Shimiao glanced at him, seemed to see his melancholy, and said:

"Don't rush in your cultivation. Haven't you seen that I'm almost forty years old and I've only lit five soul lamps!"

Su Yu's heart skipped a beat.

It feels like the master is still worried about his identity as a virgin being exposed!
"You don't need to ask me about specific things. If you don't understand something, just go to the street and buy a cultivation book and read it!"

"You can only proceed step by step at this stage. When you light the second soul lamp, I will teach you!"

After listening to Qin Shimiao's words, Su Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

I originally thought that I would be able to progress faster if I became the disciple of a master, but it turns out that I still have to rely on myself!
Since you won’t teach me, I can only learn by myself!
