The Daily Life Of Mei Furen Doting On Her Husband - Chapter 129

Ying opened his eyes in the darkness. The moment he opened his eyes, he smelled a rotten smell that came from his body. This smell had been with him for a long time.

His body was severely injured by the father and son of the Mei family. He had been unable to transform back into human form for so many years and could only appear in such a half-rotten and horrible appearance. He had been severely injured and trapped for so many years, making him become like that. He must get it all back.

He also had to get the thing hidden by the Mei family.

There was a rustling sound, and the huge, half-rotten body shrank in the darkness. Finally, it became about the height of two people and slowly walked out of the darkness.

Ying left the cave and came to the barrier he had created. In the barrier that belonged to him alone, he built a magnificent manor and imprisoned a group of monster servants. But even though there were so many monsters living here, it was always quiet because no one dared to make noise and disturb him. Every one of them was afraid of him, fearing that he would kill them in a fit of rage, just like he had killed those monster servants before.

But that time, Ying found that something was different in the manor. As soon as he came out of seclusion, he heard a burst of music. There were pipa, zheng, qin, flute, and konghou, all mixed together; it was very lively. There were even several soft female voices singing poetry. They were singing “Crane’s Singing” from the Book of Songs.

“The crane cried in the nine dales, and its voice was heard in the sky…”

The strange-looking monster just stood there quietly, listening to the distant singing brought by the breeze.

“Fish are on the shore, or they are hiding in the deep…”

Ying thought of that man. He loved to sing poems from the Book of Songs. He had sung “Crane’s Cry” to him before, but he often sang another poem, “The Green and Green I”. He loved to sing to him the line, “The green I am, in the middle of the pond. When I saw the gentleman, my heart was filled with joy.”

Wu Zhen was listening to the song leisurely when the servant beside her handed her a plate of snow-white milk cake. The cake was well made, soft and fluffy. She didn’t know what was added to it, but it was particularly fragrant.

Motioning to put the plate on the table beside her, Wu Zhen ate one piece and was about to get the second piece when she suddenly heard a thunderous roar. The voice was hoarse and terrible, filled with tremendous anger and hatred, like the roar of an enraged wild beast.

Were there any large wild animals raised in this place? Wu Zhen wondered, and saw the faces of the monster servants who were smiling just now change. They fell to the ground with weak legs and trembled. The little monster who handed her the plate with a smile almost fell to the ground, his face pale, sweating like pulp, and he didn’t dare to raise his head.

After the singing and music stopped, the roar sounded even louder and more terrifying. Wu Zhen paused but still stuffed the cake into her mouth, wondering in her heart if this could be the cry of the kidnapping monster. There was no one else who could have frightened these monster servants so much, except for the Master.

Wu Zhen was just thinking about it when she heard the roar stop and a figure ran towards her.

As they got closer, Wu Zhen hissed, thinking that the thing looked even scarier during the day. Half of its body was rotten, and except for the scaly legs and the horned head, its body was basically a bulging mass of unknown objects, with bones visible in many places. It looked bad, but it also smelled bad, and the incense she had used was instantly dispersed.

Wu Zhen watched as the creature rushed towards her with fierce eyes, and opened its mouth to spray a stream of purple-black gas toward her. She immediately picked up the plate of milk cake in front of her and jumped to the side to avoid it. She did avoid it, but the couch she was lying on, along with the tables around her and the food on it, were all destroyed. The purple-black gas corroded and melted them, turning them into a pile of rubbish in the blink of an eye.

“Hey, this guy… Why don’t you calm down? You brought me back and I’m still useful to you. Are you going to kill me to silence me when I haven’t even been used yet?” Wu Zhen said.

It was a pity that the monster was so enraged that it seemed even angrier when seeing her smiling face. It sprayed several streams of black air at her one after another. Wu Zhen was agile and dodged several times, then threw the plate in her hand out, which almost hit the monster under its hoof. The creature finally seemed to regain some reason and stopped attacking.

Wu Zhen landed lightly on the ground and glanced at her stomach with fear, wondering if the little thing in there would just jump out like that.

Being pregnant was not a job for everyone. She felt uncomfortable everywhere and was hesitant to do anything. She had to worry about this and that every time she jumped, and dared not drink too much. Wu Zhen even wanted to ask Cousin Pei to give the baby back to her husband.

Wu Zhen was thinking aimlessly and looked at the monster with a smile on her face.

The monster—Ying—regained his sanity, stood opposite Wu Zhen, and stared at her as if he had finally seen her clearly. Indeed, Wu Zhen was abducted here before, just as a thing of exchange, thrown into the manor for people to watch. As long as she didn’t die, it would be fine; Ying had really never seen her clearly.

She was just an ordinary woman, there was nothing to worry about. If she was not an enemy, Ying would not even look at her.

Moreover, when Ying brought her back before, he only thought she was a silent woman, which seemed a little different from now.

That woman, with her nonchalant smile, reminded Ying of that man, and a fierce light appeared in his eyes again.

Wu Zhen was keenly aware of the monster’s disgust towards her, and she couldn’t help but stop smiling. Although she didn’t know what the monster was thinking, she found that when she smiled, the monster would become angry and want to kill her. But it was her desire to survive that made her become an expressionless person.

Wu Zhen stopped smiling and silently observed the monster’s movements. She rubbed her fingers behind her back, contemplating her next move. If she didn’t have the child in her belly, she would have wanted to fight the monster in front of her. Even if she couldn’t win, she could always seize the opportunity to escape.

But with the child inside her, she couldn’t afford to lose it. Her husband would be very upset. Although he seemed calm, he was deeply attached to that child. If the child were to die, how could she explain it to him?

Never mind. When you’re under someone’s roof, you have to bow your head. Wu Zhen thought calmly and took a step back.

The monster, observing her, slowly moved. He stopped looking at Wu Zhen and addressed the monster servants lying on the ground, “Lock her up and don’t let her out again.”

The frightened and shocked monster servants were dumbfounded, especially the few field mouse monster women responsible for taking care of Wu Zhen. They had thought Wu Zhen was the mistress their master had brought back with great difficulty and that she would be his future wife, so they had taken care of her diligently. But now, it seemed something was amiss.

Several women glanced at the oldest woman, who lowered her head and groaned silently. She had heard from her mother that she was recruited to serve here when the farm was just built. It was said that the Master had built this farm for his mistress, but no woman had come here for many years. So when a woman finally arrived, people thought she was his mistress.

After Ying finished giving the order, his huge and bloated body slowly disappeared, and Wu Zhen was led into the house.

Wu Zhen turned around and sat on the couch with her legs crossed. There was no music to listen to now. The monster had finally appeared, and she needed to devise a plan to escape. Unfortunately, despite her careful observation and inquiries, she found no obvious loopholes and was unsure how to leave the “cage”.
