I’m Being Held Captive by Demons - Chapter 23

[Chapter 23 Su Yan exhorts]

After tying up the jujube yellow horse, Kong Ning walked into his own wedding room.

Under the dim yellow oil lamp, a beautiful woman dressed in purple was sitting beside the bed sealing a paper bag.

Although there are still more than ten days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the atmosphere of the festival is already very strong.

Many shops in the county have begun to sell paper money and paper ingots, and some colorful paper figures and horses have also appeared on the streets as the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching.

Every household has started the work of wrapping paper bags in the spare time after tea and meals.

Although there is no definite quantity requirement, the more paper bags prepared for the ancestors, the better.

In the old days when there was no glue, the villagers used to cook a pot of paste by themselves.

Many children were jubilant, clamoring to eat the paste when it was just out of the pot.

As long as there is free time during the day, people will gather in the cool shade of trees and under the eaves, chatting while wrapping their own paper bags.

In the past few days, when Kong Ning was walking on the street on a jujube yellow horse, he looked around, almost the whole county was like this scene.

Even the monsters at home started to seal the paper bags.

Stacks of thick yellow paper were sealed by Su Yan into paper bags, and then they were sealed with paste.

This female monster showed great enthusiasm for the festival of mankind, and sealed it very seriously.

When Kong Ning came in, there was already a small stack of paper bags beside her.

Seeing Kong Ning coming in, the female goblin who was sealing the paper bag raised her head and smiled, “Husband is back… Are you hungry? Yan’er will cook for you.”

Kong Ning shook his head and said, “Ma Liu and I have eaten at Zuixianlou.”

Su Yan just nodded and continued her work.

While sealing the paper bag, Su Yan asked, “How many bags did my husband seal in previous years? Let Yan’er help my husband seal them this year.”

This female monster with an inexplicable origin is very virtuous.

Or rather, she has always been virtuous.

Three meals a day, never treat Kong Ning badly, all of them are delicious and delicious delicacies.

In addition, doing laundry, cooking, cooking, feeding chickens and ducks… all the housework at home, Kong Ning does not need to worry about it, and is served properly.

Even every time he sucked Kong Ning’s yang energy, he had to act like a spoiled brat to ask Kong Ning’s approval.

Even the bed lover’s love was active and seductive, making Kong Ning ecstasy – Kong Ning had a great psychological shadow on this monster and didn’t dare to touch him at all.

So it’s the monster that takes the initiative every time.

But such kindness is nothing but a false pretence.

After 70 years of demonic practice, Kong Ning could clearly feel the demon eggs in his stomach.

The demon egg grows and grows day by day, absorbing Kong Ning’s blood, and when the demon egg matures, it will be the day of Kong Ning’s death.

Although the scorpion beauty in front of her looks beautiful and gentle, there is a cold viciousness hidden under her gentle appearance.

Kong Ning will never be paralyzed by it.

Shaking his head, Kong Ning said, “My family is only on the Mid-Autumn Festival, so you can make your own.”

In Kong Ning’s memory, his parents broke up with their relatives and moved to the small county town of Shanlan alone.

Every year during the Chinese New Year’s Day, parents are not enough.

Every year when the rest of the city started burning paper, his parents urged Kong Ning to go to bed early.

Therefore, although Kong Ning has been in this world for eleven years, he has yet to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival seriously.

Seeing his answer, Su Yan was not surprised, she nodded and said, “So that’s how it is… Yan’er knows.”

After speaking, the demon girl lowered her head and continued to seal the paper bag, without speaking any more.

Kong Ning saw that she was so serious about sealing the paper package for the dead family member, and couldn’t bear to ask if the monster could really receive the money when he died?

After all, Wan’er had said that something was wrong with the City God of Yinsi.

Even a rookie like Wan’er knows something, the monster in front of her must also know.

But in the end, Kong Ning resisted the urge to die and didn’t dare to talk nonsense.

He hung Pu Dao on the wall, took off his fast-catching suit, and went to the backyard to take a bath with a clean suit.

When Kong Ning came back from the shower and was about to go to bed, he found that the paper bags in the wedding room had been piled up in the corner of the yard.

Su Yan, who was dressed in purple, was about to go out.

Seeing Kong Ning coming, Scorpion Beauty smiled and said, “Husband, Yan’er can’t accompany you to sleep tonight. Rest well, and Yan’er will try not to wake you up when she comes back.”

The monsters at home still go out every night and don’t come back until almost dawn.

When she came back several times, Kong Ning found that her dress was damaged, obviously there was a fight, and the opponent’s strength was not weak.

After the demon girl came back, when she took off her clothes and lay in Kong Ning’s arms, Kong Ning would smell the faint smell of blood from time to time.

Some of the bloody smells belonged to other monsters, with mixed auras, but some belonged to Su Yan.

Several times, Kong Ning accidentally saw the wound on her hand.

There was a vicious demon aura in those wounds, which prevented the wounds from healing quickly.

Kong Ning understood that the female monster at home did not get along well with the monsters in the county town.

In other words, the battle is getting more and more intense.

Although he didn’t know what they were fighting for, Kong Ning wisely chose not to ask.

Nodding as always, Kong Ning said hypocritically, “Be careful.”

Although he wished that the demon girl would die outside, but the other party had done a good job of superficial skills, and he could not break this false superficial peace.

Su Yan smiled slightly and said, “Don’t worry, husband, Yan’er is fine. Those guys are just chickens and dogs, they’re not worth mentioning.”

With that said, Su Yan prepares to go out.

But before going out, he suddenly thought of something and said.

“By the way, husband, if you have nothing to do these days, don’t stay outside when it’s dark.”

“The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the city is getting more and more dangerous.”

“Those monsters are limited by the rules, and they may not easily shoot at you, but not necessarily other things.”

“So you must go home before dark, and don’t socialize outside like tonight.”

“Yan’er is worried about you.”

The scorpion beauty is gentle and concerned.

Kong Ning sneered in his heart, but his expression remained the same, and said, “Okay, I understand. Don’t worry, I will be home before dark before the Mid-Autumn Festival.”

Watching the purple-clothed woman disappear outside the door, Kong Ning pondered.

There seems to be some kind of ominous message in the reminder from the demon girl just now.

What is “other stuff”?

Could it be that there are other evil beings in Shanlan County besides those evil monsters?

And deliberately emphasized that before the Mid-Autumn Festival, could it be… a ghost?

When the Chinese New Year Festival is approaching, will there be evil spirits ravaging the city?

Standing at the door of the wedding room, Kong Ning took a deep breath and felt the pressure.

This small Shanlan County seems to be getting more and more lively… It’s an immortal cultivator and a monster, and now even evil spirits seem to be appearing.

It seems that tomorrow I really have to meet that girl named Wan’er.

See if she knows about the Mid-Autumn Festival.
