I was held captive by demons

One day passed quickly as Kong Ning read the contents of the Jade Slips of Chuan Gong.

During the whole day, he appeared as usual, had lunch with his colleagues in the yamen, occasionally interrupted to say a few words, and read the novels, but he kept silently reading the contents of "Enlightenment Scripture", feeling that he had control over the demon power. More and more handy.

But after Fangya came home, he stopped reciting the "Enlightenment Scripture" silently, for fear that the monsters at home would notice something.

And Wan'er's retreat also temporarily calmed Kong Ning's life.

Although Kong Ning at this time should have enough strength to kill the monsters in the Xu Mansion.But just to be on the safe side, Kong Ning still planned to call Wan'er along.

Why go solo when you can fight in groups?

During the day, he fished in the yamen, read novels, and silently recited the "Enlightenment Scripture" in his heart, constantly practicing and strengthening his control over demon power.

After dusk, return home, have dinner and chat with the monsters at home without embarrassment.Sometimes the demon girl has a whim, and she has to accompany her to take a walk by the river or go for an outing outside the city.

It seems that the two seem to have returned to the time when they were passionately in love, full of concubine love and concubine love.

But this is just an appearance.

The witch still goes out every night, sometimes she gets hurt when she comes back, sometimes she doesn't.Her fight with the monsters in the city seemed less intense than before.

Probably because the previous ambush fight was too intense and costly, so that both sides were afraid and did not dare to fight too much, lest the situation get out of control.

But the fight between the two sides is not intense, so Su Yan's promise to help Kong Ning catch a monster to kill is naturally far away.

But Kong Ning pretended to be ignorant about it, and never asked Su Yan when she could catch the monster.

He plays the role of Kuaiban headhunter safely and steadily, playing house with the monster at home who is very interested in human life.

The only difference between a human and a demon getting along with before is that the demon girl no longer absorbs Kongning's yang energy, nor does she absorb Kongning's Yuanyang essence.

With this monster's cultivation base, sucking Kong Ning's yang energy is of no help.It was just to toss Kong Ning on purpose before.

Now that the two sides get along well on the surface, Su Yan no longer tortures Kong Ning.

Husband and wife are harmonious and very loving.

Kong Ning felt that if this continued, his bed would probably have to be replaced.

I had to shake it once a day or two, for half an hour, and the bed board couldn't hold it up.

So Kong Ning has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and now he has a base of evil spirit, so he can hold on.Ordinary mortals, if they have such a daughter-in-law at home, they will not be able to withstand wolfberry as a meal.

Time passes day by day.

In the stable days, the seventh month of the lunar calendar is gradually moving away.

The influence brought about by the night parade of ghosts during the Ghost Festival also gradually disappeared in the city.

The most obvious signal is that Ma Liu stayed in Chunfeng Building for three consecutive nights.

——During the time just after Zhongyuan, he was exhausted every day, and he went home as soon as he was released from office.

The complexion of the other city residents who had absorbed a lot of yang energy gradually improved, and the county town returned to its former vitality and bustle.

On July 21st, the Shanlan County Government was even more lively.

Because the police who escorted the corpse of the monster to Hejian Mansion before came back with Shi Gui, and also brought a reward from the adults of Futai, which made the county magistrate grin until his ears.

As for Zhang Rong, the leader of the fast class, he didn't come back this time.

Walking around in Hejian Mansion, and having the honor of killing evil spirits, he finally got his wish and stayed in Hejian Mansion.

So the magistrate of the county accepted his order on the spot, and Kong Ning served as the chief arrester of the fast squad, and commanded all the arresters of the fast squad.

Kong Ning, the headhunter agent, finally became a regular and became the No. [-] person in Shanlan County. He was no longer a commoner, and he had a little power.

That night, Kong Ning invited guests to the Zuixian Building to celebrate with his colleagues.

After returning home at night, he received many congratulatory gifts.

From prominent families in the city like Xu Mansion and Wu Mansion in the north of the city, down to ordinary people like Shi Yong of Shipan Mill and the shopkeeper of Dianyu Book Pavilion, anyone who has friendship with Kong Ning or has a shop in the city, all A congratulatory gift was brought.

The monster at home stood among the piles of congratulatory gifts that filled the courtyard, full of joy.

"Husband, husband, our family has gotten rich."

Su Yan, who was dressed in purple, stood in the middle of the congratulatory gifts and said happily.

Kong Ning looked at her, but in his mind he was calculating how long it would take for Wan'er to break through.

Closed on July 21, now [-].

I don't know what's going on with that girl, whether it will be dangerous to break through the retreat...

Chapter 55 This book is a good read

Facing the smiling monsters at home, Kong Ning was worried about Wan'er in the south of the city.

There is generally not much risk for practitioners to break through retreat.

But this refers to normal circumstances.

And Wan'er's retreat breakthrough this time is obviously abnormal.

Kong Ning didn't know what she relied on to break through, and how safe it was.

So as time goes by, I can't help worrying in my heart.

Although Wan'er is a silly girl with a simple mind, she is a very kind person, and she is the only one who can help Kong Ning in this dangerous world. Kong Ning is really worried.

But it is not important to retreat and break through.

Even though Kong Ning was worried, it was impossible for him to go to the south of the city to disturb him.

If Wan'er retreated well, but she ran to disturb her, causing her to be distracted and insane when she broke through, then Kong Ning would be guilty of a serious crime.

So no matter how worried Kong Ning was, he could only continue to wait for news from the girl.

Now Kong Ning sighed as he looked at Su Yan standing among the piles of congratulatory gifts in the yard happily counting all kinds of presents.

There are too many congratulatory gifts placed in the yard, big and small, all kinds of congratulatory gifts, from many residents of different identities in the city, all of which are congratulations to Kong Ning, the new head catcher.

Wealthy families like the Xu Mansion and the Wu Mansion were the most straightforward, and each gave Kong Ning a red envelope of 20 taels of silver.

And Kong Ning's salary for one year is less than ten taels of silver.

However, except for Xu's and Wu's houses, most of the households who were not wealthy sent congratulatory gifts in kind.

For example, Shi Gui from Shipan Mill sent a bag of wheat flour and two boxes of Ji Laixuan’s pastries, the owner of Dianyu Bookstore sent a small box of books, the old bustard of Chunfenglou sent a small box of rouge gouache, etc...

It is also because these things are too many and too complicated, so the small yard of Kong Ning's house is almost full of piles.

Kong Ning and Su Yan stood in the middle of the pile of presents sorting and counting, but it was a bit difficult to find a place to put their feet.

Su Yan was counting and talking to Kong Ning.

"Husband, this seems to be ginseng...it looks a little old, so it must be very expensive."

"Huh? Is this bird's nest? It's the first time I saw it. It's so interesting. Is it really edible?"

"Wow! Husband, what is this? Come and see, it's so interesting."

Su Yan, who was dressed in purple, was constantly counting and tidying up, and from time to time she cried out excitedly, her face beaming with joy.

This monster obviously doesn't know much about the human world.

Although I have been in Shanlan County for more than half a year, there are still many novelty things I haven't seen before.

Kong Ning patiently helped her explain everything, and together with her sorted out these gifts by category.

Some things, such as Ji Laixuan's pastries, need to be eaten as soon as possible.If you can't finish eating, Su Yan has to take it to the neighbors tomorrow to avoid waste.

And some things, such as the wheat flour sent by Shipan Mill, and the two bacon and pig feet sent by Butcher Zhao, these foods can be left to eat slowly.

Non-food gifts should be placed separately.

The picture of the tiger going down the mountain that Maliu sent, although Kong Ning thinks it is ordinary, it can be hung on the wall for decoration.

In such sorting and counting, the sky gradually darkened.

But the two lit candles in the courtyard and continued to tidy up.

Under the candlelight, the woman who happily shuttled among the piles of congratulatory gifts and kept exclaiming was beaming with joy.

"I've really made a fortune," Su Yan said happily, "After my husband became a head arrester, our family is really different. When I went out this afternoon, many people came to praise my husband."

Kong Ning on the side chuckled, but kept his head down to sort out the congratulatory gifts.

Not far away, Su Yan opened the box of books given by the owner of Dianyushuge, and said.

"Husband, there are a lot of novels here. Don't you like reading novels recently? It's enough for you to read for a long time."

Su Yan said with a smile, making no secret of the fact that she had an eyeliner in the Yamen to monitor Kong Ning.

After all, she had never been to the yamen, and Kong Ning had never mentioned anything about the yamen to her. Without an eyeliner, she would not have known that Kong Ning was reading novels in the yamen every day.

Kong Ning didn't bother to raise his head, he opened the gift box given by Wang Hu, and saw a pair of deer antlers lying in the gift box.

After closing the gift box, he continued to tap the next gift.

However, after a while, Kong Ning couldn't help raising his head, feeling a little weird.

Because the scorpion spirit, who had been chattering and screaming like a magpie with excitement, hadn't spoken for a long time now.

The yard became eerily quiet.

When Kong Ning looked up at the other party, under the dim candlelight, Su Yan, dressed in purple, was holding a beautifully sealed book, staring at it very carefully.

And her face was red.

The body seemed to be twisting slightly.

Kong Ning's gaze subconsciously swept across the book cover and saw the title of the book.

"The Wick Monk"...

The books at the bottom of the press box in Dianyushuge are popular books that many people in the yamen have circulated.

Although in the eyes of Kong Ning, who once owned a treasure trove of hundreds of Gs, this so-called "Monk Wick" is rough in writing, crude in description, and the plot is not exciting enough and unattractive.

But this kind of banned book, which is popular nowadays, is obviously very exciting to a female monster like Su Yan who has never been in contact with such matters.

There seemed to be a layer of mist in her widened eyes.

When Kong Ning looked at her, she raised her head from the book and looked at Kong Ning.

The gazes of the two touched slightly in the air.

At that moment, Su Yan seemed to have been electrocuted, her feet softened slightly, and her eyes were full of mist.

"Husband~~"

The voice that the scorpion spirit exhaled was soft and tender.

She blushed and said, "This book is so good..."

Kong Ning looked at her expressionlessly, then looked at the sky, and subconsciously took a step back: "It's getting late... aren't you going out tonight?"

Kong Ning reminded the other party.

Su Yan licked her lips, and covered her blushing face with the beautifully packaged book, only showing her bright eyes looking at Kong Ning.

"Let's go out later~~"

The witch said coquettishly: "This book is so good to read. Husband, can we read it together?"

The witch blushed and said, "Yan'er really likes it."

"..." Kong Ning was silent.

In the end, when the witch went out in the dark, it was already two more days.

In the old man's weak and hoarse voice, Kong Ning stood at the door of the wedding room in a thin coat, looked at the pile of gifts that had not been sorted in the yard, and sighed a long time.

Tonight is the last time that the witch has gone out these days.

But she didn't go out late tonight.

Strictly speaking, since the Ghost Festival, the two got along well, and the time for this witch to go out has been getting later and later.

Every time after Kong Ning came back from Fangya, she had to get bored with Kong Ning for a long time before going out reluctantly.

This gave Kong Ning a headache.

Wan'er is about to leave the customs, and then they will meet to kill the monsters in the city.
