I’m Being Held Captive by Demons - Chapter 55

[Chapter 55 This book is a good read]

Coping with the smiling monsters at home, Kong Ning was worried about Wan’er in the south of the city.

A practitioner’s retreat breakthrough is generally not too risky.

But this refers to normal conditions.

And Wan’er’s retreat breakthrough this time is obviously an abnormal situation.

Kong Ning didn’t know what she was relying on to break through and what the safety factor was.

So as time goes by, I can’t help but worry.

Although this girl Wan’er is stupid and has a simple mind, she is a good person, and she is the only fellow Kong Ning who can help each other in this sinister world. Kong Ning is really worried.

But this kind of retreat is absolutely important.

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

In case Wan’er went into seclusion well, but ended up running to disturb her, causing her to be distracted and obsessed when she broke through, then Kong Ning would have sinned too much.

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

Now looking at Su Yan standing in the yard among the piles of gifts, happily counting all the gifts, Kong Ning sighed.

There were too many congratulatory gifts in the yard, large and small, all kinds of congratulatory gifts, from many residents of different identities in the city, all congratulated Kong Ning, the new head of the head.

The wealthy families like Xu Mansion and Wu Mansion were the most direct, and each gave Kong Ning a red envelope of twenty taels of silver.

And Kong Ning’s annual salary is less than ten taels of silver.

However, with the exception of the Xu residence and the Wu residence, most of the wealthy families sent gifts in kind.

For example, Shi Gui from Shipan Mill sent a bag of wheat flour and two boxes of Ji Laixuan’s cakes, the owner of Dianyu Bookstore sent a small box of books, and the maid from 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.

Standing in the middle of the pile of gifts, Kong Ning and Su Yan sorted and counted them, but it was a little hard to find a place to go.

While Su Yan counted, she talked to Kong Ning.

“Husband, this looks like ginseng… It looks a little old, so it must be expensive.”

“Huh? Is this a bird’s nest? It’s the first time I saw it. It’s so interesting. Can you really eat this thing?”

“Wow! Husband and wife, what is this? Come and see, it’s so interesting.”

Su Yan, who was dressed in purple, kept counting and sorting out, and from time to time she made excited screams, showing joy.

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

Although it has been more than half a year since I came to Shanlan County, there are still many novelties that I have not seen.

Kong Ning patiently helped her to explain the same, and together with her, organized these gifts into categories.

Some things, such as Ji Laixuan’s pastries, need to be eaten as soon as possible.

If you can’t finish eating it, Su Yan will have to give it to the nearby neighbors tomorrow, so as not to waste it.

And some things, such as the wheat flour sent by Shipan Mill and the two bacon and pig feet sent by butcher Zhao, can be eaten slowly.

Non-food gifts should be placed separately.

The picture of the tiger descending from the mountain that Ma Liu sent, although Kong Ning thought it was normal, it could be hung on the wall for decoration.

In such a sorting and inventorying, the sky gradually darkened.

But the two lit candles in the courtyard and continued to organize.

Under the candlelight, the woman who happily shuttled among the piles of congratulations and kept exclaiming, beamed with joy.

“I’ve really made a fortune,” Su Yan said happily, “After my husband became the head of the police, our family is really different. When I went out this afternoon, many people came to me and praised my husband.”

Kong Ning, who was on the side, smiled, and continued to lower his head to organize the congratulations.

Not far away, Su Yan opened the box of books sent by the owner of Dianyu Bookstore and said.

“Husband, there are a lot of novels in here.

Haven’t you been a fan of reading novels lately?

Enough for you to watch for a long time.

”

Su Yan said with a smile, not concealing the fact that she had eyeliner to monitor Kong Ning in the yamen.

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

Kong Ning was too lazy to lift his head, opened the gift box given by Wang Hu, and saw a pair of deer antlers lying in the gift box.

Closing the gift box, he continued to tap the next gift.

However, after a while, Kong Ning couldn’t help but raised his head, feeling a little weird.

Because the scorpion sperm, who had been chattering all the time and was so excited that he kept calling like a magpie, did not speak for a long time now.

The yard was eerily quiet.

When Kong Ning looked up at the other party, he saw that under the dim candlelight, Su Yan, who was dressed in purple, was holding a beautifully packaged book, staring at her, looking very carefully.

And her face was red.

The body seems to be twisting slightly.

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

“Wick Monk”…

There are books at the bottom of the press box of Dianyu Bookstore, which are popular books that have been circulated by many people in the yamen.

Although in the eyes of Kong Ning, who once owned hundreds of G’s of fine treasures, this so-called “Monk Wick” is rough in writing, simple in description, and the plot is not exciting enough and unattractive.

But such a popular banned book is obviously extremely exciting for a female monster like Su Yan who has never been exposed to such matters.

There seemed to be a mist of water in her wide eyes.

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

The eyes 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 misty mist.

“Husband~~”

The voice exhaled by the scorpion essence is soft and lovable.

She blushed and said, “This book is so good…”

Kong Ning looked at her expressionlessly, looked at the sky again, and took a step back subconsciously: “It’s a little late…Aren’t you going out tonight?”

Kong Ning reminded the other party.

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

“Go out later~”

The demon girl said coquettishly, “This book is very good to read. Husband, shall we read it together?”

The demon girl blushed and said, “Yan’er really likes it.”

“…” Kong Ning was silent.

In the end, when the demon girl stepped out into the night, it was already two watch.

In the weak and hoarse voice of the old man playing Geng, Kong Ning was standing at the door of the wedding room wearing a thin lingerie, looking at the pile of unorganized gifts in the yard, he sighed a long time.

Tonight was the last time the demon girl went out these days.

But she didn’t just go out tonight.

Strictly speaking, since the Mid-Autumn Festival, the two have gotten along well, and the time for this demon girl to go out is getting later and later.

Every time after Kong Ning Fangya came back, she would have to be with Kong Ning for a long time before she went 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.

If this demon girl goes out so late every night, the time when Kong Ning and Wan’er can go to kill the demon together will be very short.

The possibility of Wan’er’s exposure will also increase.

This is not a good thing for Kong Ning.

So, do you have to find a way to fool this demon girl to go out earlier?

If it goes on like this, it’s not a problem.

Kong Ning couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.
