Demon King's Repayment - chapter 266

The demon waved his tail and looked at Zhang Xun and his wife Dahua.

Dahua felt a little flustered. She couldn’t help but approach behind her husband, holding onto his clothes.

She had just arrived from the kitchen, still wearing an apron, her hands full of flour, and a rolling pin in her hand.

At that time, as a wife, she should hide behind her husband and receive protection. She hoped her husband would not despise his robes from being stained with flour.

That irrelevant thought suddenly turned around in Dahua’s mind.

There was a huge black fish cruising in the air with wide pale fish eyes.

Zhang Xun looked around. In the room, except for the elder brother who had just passed away, all were female. He was the only man. He had read books since he was a child and knew that a gentleman should be brave in danger.

As a man, he should come forward at this time to protect everyone.

What was more, it was his mother, younger sister and sister-in-law who were unconscious, and behind him was his charming wife.

But he was also afraid. He was actually a very timid person since he was a child, and he was really scared to face such a terrifying demon.

At that moment, his legs were shaking uncontrollably, his teeth clucked, his head buzzed, and his palms were full of cold sweat.

He wanted to say to his wife behind him, “Don’t be afraid, I will protect you.” But he couldn’t even say one word..

“You look pretty, it’s your time now.”

The big fish slowly opened his round mouth toward him in the air.

Zhang Xun felt that he was about to cry.

His mother told him since he was a child that a man couldn’t cry, he must endure it.

He couldn’t cry when he was scared, and couldn’t cry when he was in pain, because he was a man.

He was a man, the hope of the whole family. He must be admitted to be a talent and then to Juren. Everyone looked at him with scorching eyes, failure was unbearable, so he didn’t dare to take a break while studying, and was diligent every day to the extreme.

To bear the expectations of the whole family, to make his mother proud, to be a person whom his wife admired and respected… That was what he wanted.

But maybe these were not needed anymore.

Zhang Xun looked at the fish’s mouth that was getting closer, and suddenly felt a relaxed feeling in extreme fear.

Maybe he would never have to think about such a heavy burden anymore. At the end, he could cry, right?

He was embarrassed to find that his face was wet.

A rolling pin still dipped in flour suddenly flew from behind and hit the giant fish’s eye.

The fish tumbled in the air and his bloated body turned into a black-clothed man with a line of scarlet on his eyebrows. The glamorous man covered his eyes and glared at her, “Savage woman, how dare you hit me?”

“What kind of messy ghost are you? Fight…you want to snatch my husband, no way!” In a big rush, regardless of the virtuous image that she had worked hard to maintain in front of her husband for half a year, she pulled Zhang Xun.

She rolled up her sleeves and used the aggressive energy she used when helping her father slaughter pigs and sell meat on the market, “Come on, it’s impossible to take my husband away. If you have the ability, you can step on me first.”

The black-robed man covered his eyes in the air, and suddenly laughed, “Although you look average, I like your character, well, as you wish.”

He leaned down from the air, suddenly approached, and took Dahua’s hand, “Don’t worry, I will let you die without pain.”

…

When Yuan Xiang and the others rushed into the house, the big fish and Dahua were gone.

Lin Shu and her mother-in-law and sister-in-law were in a coma, and Zhang Xun went mad. He smashed the wooden floor of the house desperately, as if trying to find something under the floor.

Dong’er rushed to her mother’s side and shook her, “Mother, mother, what’s wrong with you?”

But her mother was not responding.

“What’s the matter?” Yuan Xiang pulled up the half-crazy Zhang Xun, “Where is Dahua?”

Zhang Xun looked up blankly, wiped his face with his bloody fingers that were pierced by the broken wood, leaving traces on his face.

“No, she is gone. Taken away by the fish.”

Dahua was gone?

Yuan Xiang looked around. There was nothing under the floor. There was a dead man lying on the bed. Dong’er was crying beside her lost mother.

The room was in a mess, a hole was opened in the roof, and a ray of sunlight was projected from the opening of the hole, shining in an ink painting on the wall.

There was a big river in the painting, which rushed straight to the sky. The river was wide and boundless, without boats and fishes, on the opposite bank was a vast mountain with reeds.

Where was Dahua?
