Chapter 003: The Pitch-Black Pot

Kong Ning feared that his unaware parents would inadvertently anger that demoness, and as a result, he would be treated cruelly by her

This thing ...? ... seems to be the jar that fell from the sky and just happened to hit him on the head, causing him to travel through time

Then... shall we go to the City God Temple to have a look

Kong Ning, with a bitter expression, awkwardly smiled, cupped his hands towards the elder brothers, said a few perfunctory words, and then sat in the corner, filled with worry

After hearing his request, the other party fell silent for a long time, seemingly contemplating whether to let Ning's parents off the hook

After all, there are very few constables in the government office who are qualified to be assigned horses by the authorities

However, he did not dare to tell the truth to the two elderly individuals, fearing that they might be completely shocked. He could only cautiously beat around the bush.

Indeed, I was extremely nervous during my wedding night, so scared that I thought my life was over, but gradually I felt better afterwards

In response, the mother chuckled and said, "Rest assured, Ning'er, you can be completely at ease. We will get along very well with Yan'er."

Could it be that it was injected into his body by that enchantress

Oh... what happened to Kong Ning? Were you exhausted and drained from last night?

Who would be foolish enough to offend a young person who appears to have a bright future ahead of them

However, the vital energy circulated through his limbs and bones again and again, yet it never found the scorpion egg that had been injected into his body. Instead, he discovered a strange object in his energy sea and dantian.

You need not worry, look at me, from the wedding night until now, over twenty years have passed, and I have relied on medication to get by each time... haven't I managed to pull through? Relax, relax, my dear brother has over twenty years of experience, even if you are truly in need, I can definitely help you regain your masculine vigor, no need to worry.

So, should we go to Chunfeng Tower tonight for an experience? Let me tell you, those girls at Chunfeng Tower... are simply extraordinary! Even if you are genuine, in front of them, you will be utterly captivated. Uh... why are you all staring at me? Did I say something wrong?

He is a constable in the yamen, and the government has provided him with a lean, chestnut horse. Although it is not a fine steed, riding through the county town on horseback, dressed in official uniform, he still presents an imposing and spirited figure.

That... the first time in a new marriage, lacking experience, it is quite normal to have a poor experience, so there is no need to worry too much about it

Riding a lean yellow horse, he arrived at the county office with a dejected demeanor. After reporting for duty to the head of the squad, Kong Ning was met with the familiar sound of his colleagues' whistles.

The City God Temple is not far anyway, so I can take a quick look after work without taking up too much time. It would be great if it works out, but if it doesn't, it's no problem; I can think of another way.

The concern of all colleagues for Kong Ning is not only due to Kong Ning's good character, but also because of Kong Ning's bright future, which is why everyone is eager to support her.

It was said to be a patrol, but in reality, it was an opportunity to find a secluded corner to contemplate the upcoming plans

Moreover, since this world has monsters, do practitioners who subdue demons and vanquish evil also exist?

A pitch-black jar, composed of an unknown material, now hovers in the tranquil dantian. He can assure that this object has never existed before

Such a reaction caused the officers to be momentarily taken aback, and then they exchanged glances with one another

But the good news is that although this enchantress did not agree to spare his parents, she also did not say that she would kill them

Kong Ning sat by the river, deeply contemplating and circulating his vital energy, attempting to locate the scorpion eggs within his body.

Today, I am feeling restless and cannot spare the energy to deal with my colleagues. After the roll call, he found an excuse and rode away alone on his chestnut horse from the county office

The voice of the mother, as gentle as ever, brought a sense of calm to Kong Ning's anxious and desperate heart.

Get lost

In an instant, a loud rumble echoed in the brain as the jar within the dantian opened. A cold and strange aura surged forth from the dark jar, spreading throughout the entire body of Kong Ning.

However, Shanlan County is just this big. Although there are a few so-called "experts" in the county town who understand fortune-telling, fate analysis, and feng shui to ward off evil, they have a modest reputation among the common people. However, as a constable, Kong Ning, out of curiosity about the supernatural and the immortal world, had long since tested the depth of those individuals.

He still has six months' time, so there is no need to rush.

He sat alone by the river, watching the gently flowing water. After a moment of silence, he let out a long sigh, feeling somewhat dejected

Kong Ning thought to himself, having made up his mind, he walked out of his home and headed towards the county office, intending to report for duty.

The classroom was filled with incessant noise and laughter, radiating a joyful atmosphere

Therefore, if Kong Ning wishes to seek a master, he can only look elsewhere.

Jian Kongning was dressed in a uniform and carried a simple knife as he headed to the yamen. His elderly mother smiled and said, "Ning'er, are you going to the yamen?"

With wide-open eyes, Kong Ning sensed the pitch-black jar floating in his dantian. Clearly, this object had never existed before, yet for some reason, the more he looked at it, the more familiar it seemed.

However, now the enchantress resides in his home, watching him every day. Without a legitimate reason, Kong Ning is fundamentally unable to leave Shanlan County. Even if there were a legitimate reason, if the enchantress does not agree to his departure from Shanlan County, he would still be unable to leave.

Kong Ning thought back and forth, and found that this method was the most feasible. After all, in ancient tales of the extraordinary, the city god was precisely the local official responsible for managing the disturbances caused by demons and monsters in a region. It is difficult to find a master of the Xuanmen, but everyone knows where the city god temple is

He absolutely cannot accept that the two elderly individuals were killed because of his actions

The mother sat beside, knitting a sweater

The father, with a head full of white hair, sat beside him, his eyes fixed on the yellowed pages of the book in his hands, completely ignoring Kong Ning. When Kong Ning spoke to him, he merely grunted a couple of times without raising his head, his demeanor indifferent

However, Kong Ning has not encountered any demons or monsters in the past eleven years. In such a hurried situation, where can one find a master of the righteous path to help?

However, the old man has always had this indifferent personality; apart from imparting the family martial arts of the Kong Ning lineage, the taciturn father would never utter a single unnecessary word. Kong Ning had long since grown accustomed to it

The father, with a head full of white hair, sits under the locust tree, leaning against it, expressionless as he gazes at the old book in his hands, its pages yellowed.

As I led the lean, jujube-colored horse out of the house, the enormous locust tree at the entrance swayed its leaves in the morning breeze

Kong Ning's expression instantly resembled that of someone who had just eaten a fly, full of vividness

Tsk tsk tsk... This is what I mean, you young people simply do not understand moderation

It is merely a tranquil day today, yet I cannot muster any enthusiasm.

Otherwise, if he runs away, that witch may kill his parents in this world

Having spent eleven years with those two elderly individuals and receiving considerable care from them, Kong Ning has developed a deep emotional bond with the two elders

Kong Ning, who walked out of the wedding house, remained silent, contemplating the possibility of seeking a master to subdue the monsters in her home

Faced with the somewhat renowned constable of Kongning County, those few swindlers from the rivers and lakes did not dare to put on a show, and honestly revealed their backgrounds; they were merely con artists who relied on verbal tricks to deceive others

Go away, go away... I believe Kong Ning does not need your medicine just yet; he needs to enhance his self-control. With such a beautiful lady at home, it is too easy for him to be tempted and lose control, so he must strengthen his willpower and resist temptation... Tonight, let us go to Chunfeng Tower, and let Miss Yu teach Kong Ning well, so he can experience what true desire is like. This way, when he returns to face his wife at home, he will be better equipped to resist.

Kong Ning seems to have established some sort of connection with this strange jar

It is perfectly normal for the first night of marriage to be a complete mess. He is not like someone such as Ma Liu, a regular at the Spring Breeze Pavilion, who follows his father around brothels; people like him are quite rare.

After carefully instructing her mother a few more times, Kong Ning left Huai Tree Alley with a heavy heart

Hehe... Kong Ning, how about I recommend a few medicinal herbs for you? Later, you can go to the pharmacy and get some for yourself to replenish your health. I guarantee it will make you vigorous and full of energy, enjoying lively nights.

Pah! You know nothing! On the night of the wedding, when one experiences the joys of life, one should revel and celebrate all night long to truly embrace the essence of youth. If one can hold a beautiful maiden and feel no reaction, it would be better to renounce the world!

The very瓦罐that killed him actually followed him to this world

On the first day of the wedding, taking someone to visit a brothel and leaving the bride to stay in an empty room... Ma Liu, have some decency!

The yellow horse is tied to a tree by the river, bending its head low, chewing on the grass on the riverbank

Perhaps there is still room for maneuver in this matter

Kong Ning tentatively used his true energy to touch the jar

That thing looks like a pocket-sized ... ? ... jar

In the end, Kong Ning did not receive a response from the woman

Although the City God Temple in the northern part of the city has seen a decline in worship, if there is indeed a City God system and if monsters truly exist in the world, then perhaps the underworld officials of the City God also exist. If there are disturbances caused by monsters at home, seeking the City God could be one way to address the issue

He nodded slightly, forcing a smile on his face, and said: "Hmm, I have to go for roll call... Mother, you and Father stay at home and don't wander around. Also, if Yan'er does something wrong, please do not hold it against her."

Subsequently, everyone spoke in unison

As soon as Ma Liugang finished speaking, he noticed that all the constables in the room were glaring at him with anger

Soon, everyone gathered around and cautiously advised.
