19: Chapter 19 My Childhood Sweethearts with Shuang'er

Although Xining Prefecture shares the same reputation as Dongning Prefecture, it seems to lack any special privileges regarding the treatment of monster beasts, consisting mostly of small monsters.

"No, this absolutely cannot be so simple. We need to increase the difficulty."

Kang Dalei slapped Leng Yanshuang on the thigh. She merely frowned slightly and handed a slice of orange to his lips, saying:

"Husband, what is wrong?"

Kang Dalei looked up at Leng Yanshuang, and suddenly, he had an idea.

His wife was now a high-ranking official in Xining Prefecture, and her father was the Prefect of Xining Prefecture; causing a little trouble would be a breeze.

"Wife, how about you let me organize this Demon-Slaying Conference?"

Kang Dalei stroked Leng Yanshuang's small hand and said with a fawning expression.

Prefect Leng Feng basically didn't manage anything, and all affairs in Xining Prefecture were handled by Leng Yanshuang, so Kang Dalei's request was, unsurprisingly, rejected by Leng Yanshuang on the spot.

"Not this time, because I am a contestant. How about the next one?"

"Forget it. If that doesn't work, how about we go to Dongning Prefecture to participate in the Demon-Slaying Conference?"

Kang Dalei thought for a long time but really couldn't come up with any good ideas.

If he were the Prefect of Xining Prefecture, he would directly collaborate with Dongning Prefecture for a joint Demon-Slaying Conference, combine the quotas for promotion to Yuanchu Mountain, and just set up two first, second, and third places.

This way the scale would be larger, and who knows, perhaps to kill off their group of geniuses, Li Xiaoxiao might release even more powerful monster beasts inside.

"Shuanger, how about you make a suggestion to your father?"

"What does my husband want to do?"

"Collaborate with Dongning Prefecture. How about we hold a dual-champion Demon-Slaying Conference?"

"Dual-champion?" Leng Yanshuang pondered for a while, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Does my husband want to be a dual champion with Shuanger? Alright, after we return to Xining Prefecture, I will immediately report it to my father."

"So obedient."

Kang Dalei guiltily gave a thumbs up. As expected, Leng Yanshuang was still the easiest to fool.

Not to mention how comfortable Kang Dalei's life was here.

Look at Ruan Mi, who was captured and thrown into the dungeon by Leng Yanshuang a few days ago. At this moment, she was cursing loudly in the dungeon because she was going to be taken to the execution ground at the vegetable market to be beheaded today.

"Kang Dalei, I curse you to have a son without an anus."

"Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you off."

"I'm so pissed off! I haven't killed that bastard yet, how could I die now?"

Ruan Mi was so angry that her chest, which didn't have much to boast about in the first place, was heaving violently.

"Kang Dalei, I..."

"Ugh." After thinking for a long time and failing to come up with any new words, Ruan Mi felt bored and shut her mouth.

Why was she so unlucky to have met such an irresponsible man? It was truly a bad year.

"Prisoner Ruan Mi, it's your turn. After eating this meal, get ready to head on your way."

"I know, I don't need you to remind me."

Taking the final meal, Ruan Mi actually cried this time.

"I hate you, Kang Dalei."

The vegetable market execution ground in Xining Prefecture.

Facing the throngs of people who had come to watch the commotion, Ruan Mi, who was sitting in the prisoner transport carriage waiting to die, played with the long braid behind her.

She had already cried and cursed; having arrived at the execution ground, there was nothing left to say.

She only blamed herself for meeting the wrong person—a coward, a pervert, a bastard.

Thinking of Kang Dalei's sleazy expression, Ruan Mi was filled with anger again.

"It's so sad that I couldn't kill you."

She was escorted to the execution platform, and her head was pressed against the wooden block. The executioner on the side took a mouthful of wine and sprayed it onto a nine-ring broadsword, then shook his body and raised the broadsword, bringing it down fiercely.

Just as the blade was about to fall onto Ruan Mi's neck, a familiar shout of "Stay your hand!" made Ruan Mi's eyes light up.

Could that bastard have come to save her?

She saw Kang Dalei bringing Leng Yanshuang, marching aggressively, walking toward her step by step. That expression, that movement, that stride—all of it left Ruan Mi stunned.

"Kang Dalei, I didn't expect you to be so loyal. I guess I didn't misjudge you."

But the next words out of Kang Dalei's mouth made Ruan Mi start cursing at him immediately.

"Hey there, young man, the deceased should be treated with respect. At the very least, you should wash the vegetable leaves off the blade. Look at my friend, she's fair and tender; aren't you ruining her beautiful skin by doing this?"

"Screw you, Kang Dalei, you bastard! I knew you wouldn't save me, you pervert, coward, profiteer!"

"Alright, proceed with the execution."

Kang Dalei seemed to ignore Ruan Mi's curses. After checking that the broadsword in the executioner's hand was cleaned, he walked over to the side, sat down, and signaled for the big man to proceed.

His words, naturally, made Ruan Mi so angry that she cursed his ancestors back eighteen generations.

As a sharp shout rang out, the executioner who had been performing the execution raised the large ring-blade high and brought it down in one strike.

Ruan Mi's heart softened, and her whole face turned pale. It wasn't until Kang Dalei's shameless voice rang in her ears that Ruan Mi snapped back to reality and carefully examined her surroundings.

She saw that the big man with the blade had disappeared, the surrounding crowd had all dispersed, and only a group of people from the Xining Prefecture Constable Office and Kang Dalei were looking at her with that sleazy look.

This time, no matter how stupid she was, Ruan Mi knew Kang Dalei was playing with her. She lunged forward to bite the scoundrel on the shoulder and face, but before she could bite Kang Dalei, he kissed her directly on the lips.

This made Ruan Mi instantly anxious.

She pointed at Kang Dalei, wanting to duel him.

She also desperately wiped her lips and spat.

"You bastard, you took advantage of me again! I'll fight you to the death!"

However, Kang Dalei ignored her completely and instead put on an expression of endless aftertaste, which instantly made Ruan Mi's pretty face flush red. She secretly cursed Kang Dalei for being shameless, but she stopped causing him trouble.

After rescuing Ruan Mi, Kang Dalei got busy with his real business.

He first returned to Leng Yanshuang's boudoir. Before long, he found the monster cores he had mentioned earlier in her room—there were over a hundred of them.

"Recycle monster cores."

"Ding-dong, recycling in progress"

"High-Level Monster Soldier monster core, obtained 5 points"

"High-Level Monster Soldier monster core, obtained 6 points"

"High-Level Monster Soldier monster core, obtained 5 points"

A total of 137 monster cores, obtaining 635 points.

"Six hundred points, six hundred points are useless right now."

Kang Dalei walked out of Leng Yanshuang's room and happened to run into someone—a man, a very handsome man.

Although he wasn't as handsome as Kang Dalei, he was still the rare kind of handsome.

Dressed in white, with the appearance of an elegant young master, he held a folding fan in his hand, acting especially pretentious.

Seeing Kang Dalei walk out of Leng Yanshuang's boudoir, the Man in White immediately blocked his path and said:

"This brother, why have I not seen you before? Who are you?"

Kang Dalei glanced at the man and then said casually:

"You must be here to find Leng Yanshuang. She has gone to her father's place and it will probably be a while. You can go inside and sit for a bit."

As he said this, Kang Dalei prepared to leave. However, while he wanted to leave, some people wouldn't let him leave so easily.

"I saw you come out of Shuanger's room. If you do not clarify your relationship with her, I cannot let you leave today."

"Whether you let me leave or not, it's not up to you."

Kang Dalei bypassed the man and prepared to walk past from the side.

He didn't have time to chit-chat with him now. After wasting so much time, he needed to work hard to earn monster cores.

But the more he did this, the more the man blocked his path, refusing to let him leave, and even threatened him verbally:

"Brother, Shuanger and I have been childhood sweethearts since we were young, and I have never seen anyone go into her room. If you insist on leaving, don't blame me, Mo, for being ruthless."
