My Wife is A Sword God
Chapter 363: Unexpectedly Smooth

After showing the gatekeeper of the Demon Slaying Department the Jade Demon Slaying Order and Chief Zhou’s letter of recommendation, Qin Feng and his companion smoothly entered the Demon Slaying Department.

Without contrast, there is no harm.

Qin Feng had originally thought that the Demon Slaying Department in Qiyuan City was big enough, but compared to here, it might not even be a third of the size.

The demon slayers dressed in green and black were walking in a hurry, and everyone seemed to be very busy.

“This really is the imperial capital. Even the clothes are so exquisite and refined. It looks much better than the green outfits,” Qin Feng sighed.

Demon Slaying Departments in smaller places don’t have a uniform dress code.

In the Demon Killing Department of Heavenly City, the demon slayers are provided with outfits according to their ranks.

In Imperial City, however, everyone wears a uniform dark green and black outfit. It is said that these outfits are made by Imperial Excellance. The costume alone is equivalent to half a year’s salary of demon hunters in other places.

Following a colleague, Qin Feng navigated through the Demon Slaying Department.

During this time, Qin Feng continued to make small talk in an attempt to get closer and strike up a conversation. Unfortunately, his efforts were met with indifference.

Except for the occasional acknowledgement, the other person displayed a high and mighty attitude.

Especially when he asked for information about Chief Deng, the other person showed an expression as if he had expected such a question. He let out a disdainful cold laugh and completely ignored Qin Feng .

Well, I wanted to interact with you as an ordinary person, but all I got was coldness. It seems that I have to lay my cards on the table. Qin Feng sighed softly in his heart, then pulled out a heavy money pouch from his pocket.

“Brother, I am new here and do not know the rules. I hope you’ll accept this small token of goodwill.”

The leading man warned without looking, “I advise you to return your money as soon as possible, or I won’t be polite.”

“Brother, you might as well take a look before you decide, right?” Qin Feng raised an eyebrow.

The man glanced at it and then widened his eyes. There must be at least a few hundred taels in that heavy pouch.

But that shouldn’t be possible. How could a colleague from Jinyang City have so much money?

His expression changed for a moment. Swiftly, he picked up the money bag, and his attitude changed abruptly.

“Your family name is Qin, right? I am Zhan Qingfeng, a refreshing breeze.”

Clearly, your parents’ expectations were not met when they named you. 

Qin Feng smiled, “So you’re Brother Zhan, I’ve heard about you.”

“Ah, just call me Brother Qingfeng. Brother Zhan sounds a little distant.”

“Alright, Brother Qingfeng.”

Following closely behind, Lan Ningshuang showed a somewhat strange expression. If she hadn’t been following, one might think that her brother-in-law and this person were old acquaintances.

“If you want to know about Chief Deng, you’ve asked the right person. I’ve been in the Imperial City Demon Slaying Department for over seven years, and I know a lot about the big and small things here.”

He then began to recount Deng Mo’s past experiences, which were much more detailed than what Qin Feng originally knew.

While he was telling the story, he emphasized one point: Chief Deng has a bad temper!

Zhan Qingfeng complained, “Maybe because he can’t go to the front anymore, Chief Deng is always gloomy. He looks at everyone with a displeased expression. If you ask him to do something, remember not to play any tricks. Chief Deng won’t tolerate any nonsense. Do you understand what I mean?”

“I understand, I understand,” Qin Feng nodded.

Under Zhan Qingfeng’s guidance, Qin Feng and his companion arrived at a loft hall, where they saw an old man dressed in a long gray robe.

The old man’s hair was already gray, and on the right side of his face, there was a scar that reached down to his chin, making it a shocking sight.

The old man mentioned here is the former Eastern Domain Executioner, currently the Chief of the Imperial City Demon Slaying Department, Deng Mo!

“Are you Qin Feng?” the old man asked.

“Huh? Senior Deng knows me?” Qin Feng exclaimed.

“You’re Liu Jianli’s husband, it’s very rare that people don’t know you. I’ve heard about the incident in Shuliang City. You set up a formation to isolate the Death Qi, giving the Spear Immortal Sima Kong a chance to make a fatal strike, well done,” Deng Mo said, showing a satisfied smile, but the scars on his face made it a bit eerie.

“I only did what I could. Solving the corpse demon disaster in Shuliang City was a collective effort.” Qin Feng said sincerely.

The countless graves after that disaster were still vivid in his mind.

Upon hearing this, Deng Mo showed a hint of appreciation.

As the two of them talked, Zhan Qingfeng, who stood aside, felt a buzzing in his head.

He couldn’t believe that this guy was actually Liu Jianli’s husband, the hero of the corpse demon disaster in Shuliang City!

‘Oh no, oh no. At first, I even gave him a hard time and took his money. He won’t hold a grudge against me, will he?’

Mind you, this person’s in-laws are the powerful Liu family, led by Duke Liu. Dealing with a mere Jade Demon Slayer like him would be a piece of cake.

On the other side, Deng Mo said, “I already know your purpose for coming to the Demon Slaying Department, it’s about the gunpowder matter, right?”

Qin Feng was stunned, not only did he know his identity, but he also knew why he had come.

‘Why do I feel like I have no privacy at all? Is there a spy nearby?’ Qin Feng thought before chuckling, thinking that it must be from watching too many spy movies in his previous life to have such absurd thoughts.

“I did come for the gunpowder matter.” Qin Feng continued, explaining his thoughts and conditions.

That is, to provide the Demon Slaying Department with gunpowder in exchange for profits, and in return, the Demon Slaying Department would help limit the source of gunpowder raw materials. In addition, to a certain extent, it would offer protection to the Qin family.

As a savvy businessman, Qin Feng is well versed in the art of negotiation, so the starting conditions were quite favorable for him.

However, what he hadn’t expected was for Chief Deng to agree to all the terms without thinking twice!

“Huh,” Qin Feng was somewhat stunned. He had already prepared his words to explain the power and irreplaceable role of gunpowder.

However, before he could utter those words, they were cut short.

“Chief Deng, don’t you need to consider and discuss with others?” Qin Feng was confused.

For such an important matter, even Chief Deng as the head of the department shouldn’t make a final decision so hastily, right?

However, Chief Deng resolutely said, “No need to think about it. I can accept all your terms.”

“However, after the gunpowder product is produced, I need to see its power and safety with my own eyes.”

“After all, I can’t play around with the lives of our Demon Slayers.”

“Of course.” Qin Feng replied.

The resolution of the matter went so smoothly that it truly exceeded Qin Feng’s expectations. Even as he was leaving, he felt like he was dreaming.

‘Could it be that the other party took my wife’s family background into consideration and agreed to this? ‘

This thought crossed his mind, but it was immediately rejected by Qin Feng. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ NøᴠᴇlFire.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

“The Demon Slaying Department and the military are completely different entities. Even if Chief Deng is showing consideration for Grandpa Liu’s face, he wouldn’t disregard the interests of the Demon Slaying Department and make such significant concessions.”

“But what could be the real reason?”

Qin Feng pondered endlessly, unable to figure it out.
