The Daily Life Of Mei Furen Doting On Her Husband - Chapter 113

Wu Zhen and Mei Zhuyu usually didn’t like to bring servants with them when they went out, but this time, because Wu Zhen was pregnant, they discussed and decided to bring two servants with them. The servants were not ordinary people but a pair of brothers found in the Monster Market. They were originally bull monsters, tall and strong, with rough looks. At first glance, they looked like the kind of warriors who would split mountains and open roads to ask passers-by for tolls.

Although they were not very good-looking and did not have any special luck, they were honest and willing to endure hardships. When they heard that they were working for Cat Lord and would be rewarded generously, they were so eager that they almost threw away the two ordinary oxen pulling the cart and transformed back into their original forms to pull the cart.

Another advantage of choosing them was that the two bull monster brothers were not very smart and couldn’t see anything wrong with their “Cat Lord”. Seeing that the “Cat Lord” was not as active and cheerful as before, sitting steadily in the carriage, the two brothers sighed that she was worthy of being the Cat Lord. After leaving Chang’an, she was more stable.

Mei Zhuyu took good care of his wife’s body, cherishing it so much that he was afraid it would be bumped or scratched. He did not move at all while sitting in the ox carriage. As for Wu Zhen, she happily rode the horse and waved the whip. She also carried a bow and quiver on her horse. When the carriage left the official road and entered some lush vegetation, she hunted two rabbits and put them on the carriage to show Mei Zhuyu.

“If we can’t reach the post station today, we’ll find a place to roast these two rabbits.” Wu Zhen lifted the curtain of the carriage and shook the rabbits in the air.

Wu Zhen was always impatient with riding in a carriage. She felt that her husband was uncomfortable being jostled around in the carriage, so she asked him to get off and rest after a while.

“You want to pee? I’ll go with you.”

Wu Zhen walked behind the tree. Seeing that Mei Zhuyu didn’t follow her, she asked curiously, “What’s wrong? Come here.”

Mei Zhuyu: “No need, just wait for me on the side.”

Wu Zhen: “I’m afraid you might run into something in this desolate mountain area.”

Mei Zhuyu pointed to a stone in the distance and said, “You sit there and wait.”

Seeing that his tone showed no room for objection, Wu Zhen sat down as she was told and shouted to Mei Zhuyu, “You really don’t want me to accompany you?”

Mri Zhuyu didn’t even turn his head. He was never as well adapted as Wu Zhen. When he used his wife’s body, every time he needed to bathe it or do something like that, he couldn’t help but feel a little ashamed, as if he had done something inappropriate. Even though she was his wife, he never felt that he could touch that body as a matter of course, and he shouldn’t think of those… scenes before when he saw that body.

Master Mei was extremely ashamed.

Wu Zhen felt no burden at all and felt very fresh. However, she would occasionally look at her lover pressing against her face and would say to him in frustration, “I can’t kiss my face when I look at it.”

Mei Zhuyu: “…No need to kiss.” 

He was already ashamed of using his wife’s body, and he was afraid that he couldn’t get close to her. Even if it was his beloved wife, if she really had such an idea, Master Mei would probably use a talisman to calm her down.

Wu Zhen and Mei Zhuyu were able to stay at the official post station because of their status. If they didn’t find one, they wouldn’t be picky and would just build a fire in the wasteland and rest in the carriage. Mei Zhuyu was used to a simple and poor life. In the past, he had stayed up for days and nights, chasing evil monsters in the mountains and forests. If he was really tired, he would just sit cross-legged with his eyes closed for half an hour to rest.

It was Wu Zhen who surprised him. She grew up in a wealthy town in Chang’an. Mei Zhuyu had seen how particular she was in her daily life and was worried that she would not be able to stand the simple conditions when she came out. However, it seemed that she had adapted quite well and would occasionally sigh and complain, but it was just a pity that there was no good wine to be bought in the wilderness.

Neither of them cared, and the two monsters that served as servants cared even less. They could just find a rock or a meadow to lie on for the night.

If they came across an official inn, the two would go in to rest, wash, change clothes, and replenish water. Mei Zhuyu would also take the opportunity to boil medicine, which was the secret palace medicine prescribed by Liu Fengyu to protect the pregnancy and nourish the body.

Mei Zhuyu did it himself, boiled the medicine, put it in cold water to cool it down, and then drank it. He drank it without changing his expression, which made Wu Zhen pale. She wanted to run away when she smelled the medicine, but her husband was as calm as if he was drinking water.

After drinking, he noticed that her expression was not right, so he asked her if she was feeling unwell.

Wu Zhen laughed dryly, “Is it delicious?”

Mei Zhuyu was a Taoist priest and had some knowledge in that area. He did not comment much on the taste, but he was positive about the medicinal effect.

Wu Zhen sat near the small pot where he boiled medicine like a scoundrel and kicked the pot away with disdain, “If you think it’s good, drink more now. Anyway, I won’t drink a single sip later.”

Mei Zhuyu knew about it, so he didn’t tell her much about it. If it really came to the point where she had to drink, even if Wu Zhen didn’t want to, he could force her to drink. There were some things she could do as she pleased, but there were some things she couldn’t.

Wu Zhen shuddered for no apparent reason and looked at the upright man with suspicion.

It was summer, the sun was shining brightly, the roadside reeds were sprouting, and from a distance, it looked like a vast expanse of white. The wild grass was flourishing, and the wildflowers were equally thriving. The nose could smell the fragrance, and the ears could hear the rustling of the forest waves in the mountains. The sky was high, wide, and blue, and the floating clouds were soft and white, which was a completely different scene from the bustling and lively Chang’an.

The farther away from Chang’an, the more different the scenery became. Although they were on the road every day, interesting things would occasionally happen along the way, such as encountering ignorant little monsters making trouble and blocking the road.

Because the two of them had swapped bodies, Wu Zhen could not use her own strength. Mei Zhuyu only had spiritual power in his body, but she could only stare blankly as she did not know how to use it. So in order to help her protect herself, Mei Zhuyu took the opportunity to teach her some hand gestures and spells to exorcize monsters and ghosts and asked her to practice when she encountered dirty things blocking her way.

Wu Zhen had been curious about these things before, and since she had experienced them herself, she understood even more clearly how terrifying her young husband was. That body of spiritual energy was so strong that it would take an ordinary person a hundred years to accumulate it. Even if he was extremely talented, it was still a bit too much. Wu Zhen guessed in her heart that he might have encountered some strange fate, but she had a keen sense that the reason might not be happy, so she didn’t ask but just followed Mei Zhuyu to learn simple magic and also satisfied her Taoist addiction.

Wu Zhen learned Taoism from Mei Zhuyu, and she wanted to teach her husband how to adapt to the special monstrous power in her body. But when she said it, Mei Zhuyu shook his head and said, “I have already understood it myself.”

He meditated quietly in the ox carriage for a few days and then adapted to the monstrous power in Wu Zhen’s body. He got used to this power much faster than he got used to this body.

Wu Zhen once again witnessed his amazing comprehension. She believed it in her heart but said, “I don’t quite believe it. Why don’t you prove it to me?”

Mei Zhuyu: “How to prove it?”

Wu Zhen immediately said, “Turn into a cat!”

A cat that had been petted would be petted back sooner or later, and Master Mei umderstood this.
