Chapter 002: Deep Affection Between Couples
Kong Ning led ten constables into the mountains and searched for ten days and nights, ultimately ambushing the so-called giant scorpion.
A trace of astonishment flashed in the woman's eyes
Kong Ning stared intently at the woman before him, while the woman in the wedding room also remained silent, merely observing him with a gentle smile.
He carefully got out of bed, dressed himself, then completed his grooming, and finally sat down opposite his wife, lifting his bowl of porridge.
However, he did not expect that there was indeed a scorpion spirit in front of him, which had laid eggs in his belly
The knife at his waist was gripped tightly, then loosened, loosened, and then gripped tightly again, repeating this process dozens of times
Now he knows that he has no way out and can only plead with the monster before him to spare the two elderly people
He has traversed this world for eleven years, served as a constable for three years, and mastered a set of martial arts. Although he has heard many strange tales from the countryside, he has never encountered a true monster.
Alright, get up and have breakfast, why are you staring at me? Su Yan, who was already seated, picked up one bowl of millet porridge and began to eat it with pickled vegetables.
Kong Ning followed the trail and found the scorpion's nest behind it. Subsequently, a large fire was set, completely incinerating the entire scorpion den, resulting in the death of all thirteen scorpions.
Nowadays, you are so angry just because I laid eggs in your belly... Did you not consider that one day there might be a survivor to repay you for burning my entire family to death when I was young?
The silence on the marriage bed is profound and unspoken
Additionally, my husband, remember not to drink too much
He suddenly turned his head and saw his wife Su Yan dressed in a green gown, graceful and beautiful, with a beaming smile. Her long, jet-black hair was styled into a bun at the back of her head, which made her appear even more playful and charming.
What did you just say? " Kong Ning almost squeezed out such a question from between his teeth, the terrifying feeling of being gutted last night seemed to resurface, sending chills down his spine
My stomach! My stomach!
Kong Ning gritted his teeth in anger, filled with a murderous intent
The smile on the face has vanished
So you still intend to torment me for another six months
This is the keen intuition of a martial artist, which should not be taken lightly
In the vision of tranquility, one's own abdomen remains intact. The completely opened belly from last night now shows not a trace of a scar.
He stared intently at the girl before him, no longer doubting that everything that had happened last night was a nightmare
He turned around in shock and looked at his wife behind him
How could my own wife, who is so adorable, be a monster
We can continue to be a couple for these six months
Kong Ning's expression was dark and uncertain. After gritting his teeth for a while, he ultimately dejectedly released the hilt of the knife at his waist and slowly said: "What exactly do you want to do? If it's just revenge, then killing me would be enough, why waste so much time..."
The porridge and pickled vegetables were placed on the table. Su Yan said, "Hurry up and wash up, then have your meal. Although today is the first day of our marriage, it would not be good if we miss the time for reporting to the yamen."
At that moment, the door was pushed open, and someone walked in
Kong Ning reached out to touch his abdomen, yet no matter how he felt, he could not locate the wound. Focusing his mind, he sensed the true energy circulating throughout his body from his dantian, and as a cool sensation spread, he found no abnormalities.
The creature before me is indeed a vicious and cruel terror.
In the early morning, the rooster crows
The girl in front of Kong Ning is even more cheerful than the lively and adorable girl she was before marriage. She speaks freely and openly, without any barriers.
The woman before me, though charmingly smiling and gentle in demeanor, conceals a terrifying intent to kill beneath her smiling facade
Kong Ning, who has practiced martial arts with his father for eleven years, has already achieved some success and possesses an exceptionally keen sensitivity to his breath.
But in the end, there was still no courage to pull it out
Gradually, Kong Ning's heart settled down
On the wedding bed, Kong Ning stared intently at his wife in front of him, scrutinizing her from head to toe
The woman's words caused Kong Ning to be momentarily stunned with anger, suddenly recalling an incident from two years ago
Kong Ning felt his hand, holding the knife, trembling uncontrollably
Was the horrifying scene he saw last night a nightmare
Mature like a little adult, with a hint of nagging concern, yet occasionally lively and playful, sharing a few amusing jokes that reveal her inability to be truly rigid
Moreover, in this small courtyard, besides him, Kong Ning, there are also his parents who know nothing about this fairy.
Kong Ning stared at her intently and asked, "What happens after the fetus matures? How does it come into the world? Does it just break open my belly and crawl out, then grow by consuming my flesh and blood? Don't tell me that after the fetus is born, I will be completely unharmed!"
But that nightmare was too real ... so real that it felt as if it had actually happened
If you were to die and end everything, wouldn't that be an easy way out for you
... ... ? ! ''
Kong Ning jokingly told his colleagues that if this group of scorpions continued to grow, they might just become spirits
Once he draws his sword and strikes, he will instantly meet his demise on the spot
First torment the will, toy with the prey until despair, and then slowly kill.
It is likely that the recent stress has been too great, leading to nightmares
"At the very least, you should use your essence to help me raise a few children, so that it can be considered a return on investment"
Excessive alcohol consumption during the egg-laying period is detrimental to health
There is nothing strange injected into one's own stomach
Kong Ning's hand instinctively rested on the wooden knife at his waist. His eyes were filled with vigilance and uncertainty.
There is a problem! There is a big problem!
Your parents?" Su Yan frowned as she looked at the man in front of her and said, "You want me to let your parents go?"
The woman indoors shook her head and said, "My husband is truly amusing... Back when you led people to burn my entire family and caused the death of my loved ones, how spirited you were then."
I have truly lost my mind
At that time, the largest scorpion was as big as a calf
You only made such a significant impression yesterday, and the county magistrate personally came to congratulate you. Now, there are countless pairs of eyes outside watching and envying you. The more it is like this, the less you can afford to relax
Kong Ning's complexion was slightly pale
Kong Ning sighed inwardly, unable to help but shake his head. He tilted his head back and finished the last of the porridge in one gulp, mumbling, "Tonight, Old Zhang and the others are treating at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion. I will be back later, so you don't need to wait for me to have dinner."
Just after dawn, in the wedding room where the light had not yet fully brightened, Kong Ning suddenly sat up, his face filled with terror
That is our child conceived together last night; only with my husband can I bear offspring. Does my husband not care at all for his own flesh and blood
The wife, dressed in a green dress, nodded and said: "My husband, take care on your way."
At that time, in the mountains near Shanlan County, there was a nest of enormous scorpions that frequently harmed people in the forest, resulting in several fatalities. The county magistrate, recognizing Kong Ning's exceptional skills, dispatched him to lead a team to quell the situation.
Having finished speaking, Kong Ning set down the bowl and stood up to leave.
The young girl laughed and looked at Kong Ning, saying: "So, my husband... you should just obediently accept reality. The eggs I left in your belly will take about six months to hatch."
However, Kong Ning's request caused the woman to pause slightly.
After a long silence, he slowly said: "If I cooperate with you over these six months and help you hatch the child you desire, then... at the very least, you could spare my parents' lives, right? They are already advanced in age, and even if you do not kill them, they will not live much longer. Killing me would mean that they would have to bury their own child, which would cause them even greater pain, more than simply killing them would satisfy you."
The parents who cared for him deeply after his journey through time are the lingering concern that Kong Ning cannot let go of
Could not help but let out a sigh in my heart
After living a peaceful life for eleven years in this world, I never expected to encounter a true monster in such a form
He began to eat slowly and in small bites
The white cloth laid on the bed sheet, although stained with a few drops of blood, does not belong to him; rather, it is from his wife's loss of purity on their wedding night
As Kong Ning stepped out of the door, he stumbled, his heart suddenly constricting, and a chilling coldness instantly spread throughout his body
The resounding crow of the rooster shattered the tranquility of the early morning
Anyone who witnesses this scene would envy the affectionate relationship of this newlywed couple. They would be even more envious that Kong Ning has married such a gentle, virtuous, yet charming and lovely wife
In the dimly lit bridal chamber, the bride smiled slightly and repeated her earlier words: "Drinking too much during the ovulation period is not good for the body... Husband, is there something wrong with this statement?"
That is a complex emotion brewed from anger, fear, and deep resentment among other feelings
After finishing her words, she noticed that Kong Ning had already walked out the door, and the girl added another sentence
He indeed married a monster as his wife, and on the very night of their wedding, this monster laid eggs in his belly
Husband, you are awake
Now that Jian Kongning has given up resistance, the woman let out a playful chuckle and said: "What are you talking about... you, my husband, have caused the deaths of my entire family, more than ten lives, yet now you wish to exchange one life for all of that? It is not that simple."
She walked in holding a tray with two bowls of millet porridge and a small bowl of pickles
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
One must not be late, as it may provide others with ammunition against you. Otherwise, the hearts of men are treacherous; who knows how those individuals might conspire against you
Isn't her husband an orphan
You... you..." Kong Ning gritted his teeth and stared intently at the woman before him, saying: "Why do you want to harm me?"
It was a black scorpion as large as a grinding disc, frighteningly big, lurking in the forest to ambush passersby with its venomous stinger
That enormous scorpion tail and the eerie stinger, in a daze, injected the eggs into the belly... Those horrifying memories seem to truly be nothing more than a nightmare
He hurriedly lowered his head and looked at his belly
The woman smiled charmingly, yet her expression was dark and gloomy, unable to suppress a cold laugh.
Such a question left the girl momentarily stunned, before she broke into a smile: "What is my husband saying... To pass on the family line, isn't that a matter of course? It's just letting my husband carry the child for me, it's not like it would directly harm my husband's life. Can't my husband even accept this?"
While the two were eating porridge, the girl was helping Kong Ning plan how to express their gratitude to the county magistrate, considering what gifts to present. She emphasized the need to remain humble and composed, avoiding arrogance that might provoke jealousy.
The wife before me still appeared charming and lovely, gentle and virtuous, just as I remembered Su Yan.
Su Yan's face was filled with a smile, a smile rich with meaning
However, Kong Ning still did not dare to relax
The voice of a girl who was once a young girl but is now a married woman rang out, clear and melodious, yet it made Kong Ning shiver all over.
However, no matter how he looked at it, he could not reconcile the image of his charming and lovely wife before him with that of the terrifying and eerie monster from last night
In the wedding room adorned with red double happiness characters, the wife, dressed in a green dress, looked at him in surprise and tilted her head, asking, "Husband?"
Acting rashly by drawing the sword angered the vengeful demoness who came to seek revenge, resulting in a swift death. However, if my parents were to be implicated as well...
Even if she were truly a monster, after harming herself, how could she still speak to him so innocently and naively
Jian Kongning kept staring at her, and the girl couldn't help but tilt her head slightly, feeling a bit confused: "Husband? Is something wrong?"
This world should resemble the ancient times of previous eras, where, despite the presence of feudal superstitions, there were no monsters existing
