The Daily Life Of Mei Furen Doting On Her Husband - Chapter 132
Mei Zhuyu didn’t expect to find such a thing in the wooden box. He was pondering, but when he saw Wu Zhen holding up the cat and saying it was fat, he felt a strange sensation in his heart, not knowing what to say.
At that moment, the four-legged beast, which was more rotten than before, had already rushed toward Wu Zhen and Mei Zhuyu. He should have calmed down a little on the way, but when he saw what Wu Zhen was holding, he became manic again. He opened his big black mouth, drooled, stared at the cat’s corpse, and shouted in a panic, “Give it to me! Give it to me! This is mine!”
Wu Zhen looked at the strange creature, then at the cat in her arms, raised it up, and gestured, “Oh, could she be the one you like?”
She just made a random guess, and unexpectedly, she guessed it right. The manic Sibuxiang actually regained his sanity and answered her question, “Yes, I used to like her very much.”
“I used to like her very much.” Wu Zhen heard other meanings in these words and said, “It sounds like you don’t like her anymore. You’re trying so hard to get this body. You can’t be trying to relieve your longing for her or to bury her in peace. Otherwise, tell me why you want this body. Maybe I will give it to you if I think the reason is good enough.”
The eyes of the Sibuxiang looked coldly at Wu Zhen from inside his rotten skull, but Wu Zhen stood still under his oppressive gaze. Finally, Sibuxiang laughed softly, and for the first time, his voice showed some softness of a normal person, but the content of his words was not soft at all, “As long as I eat her, I won’t be like this anymore. I can live forever and live well!” At that point, Sibuxiang’s tone became fanatical, and he couldn’t wait to drool. “I’ve been looking for her for so long, I’m tired of this body. Quick, give her to me. As long as you give her to me, I promise not to kill you.”
Wu Zhen was not surprised at all. Seeing that he wanted to pounce on the cat and grab it, she calmly touched the cat’s fur and found that it felt unexpectedly nice. So she slowly stroked the cat and said with a smile, “If I give you the thing, you won’t kill us? Why, do I look like a fool? Do you think I’ll believe everything you say?”
She displayed a malicious smile that didn’t make her look like a good person. “It seems that you don’t understand the current situation. Now it’s not you who is threatening us; it’s me who has what you want.”
Sibuxiang had very little patience. Upon hearing this, its huge body leaned forward, ready to move, and it said with murderous intent, “Then I will kill you and take her back.”
Mei Zhuyu had been silent all along. According to his habits and ways, it was impossible for him to talk so much to the enemy. Normally, when he met the enemy, he would fight without saying anything, battling to the death. Wu Zhen was beside him, so he had no choice but to follow her gaze and stand aside, silently watching the enemy’s every move, his whole body tense and his eyes focused.
Seeing that Sibuxiang was about to attack, Mei Zhuyu immediately prepared to retaliate. However, Wu Zhen spoke again to break the tension. She grabbed the cat corpse and said, “I advise you to calm down. Look, the thing you want is in my hand. Do you believe that if you mess around, I will destroy it immediately and turn it into ashes to scatter? Do you want to swallow the soil within a few miles?” She seemed to find amusement in her words, glancing at the cat corpse as if eager to try.
Sibuxiang obviously didn’t expect her to say that. He was momentarily stunned and responded angrily, “You are threatening me!”
Wu Zhen shook the cat corpse nonchalantly and replied, “Smart, I am threatening you.”
Sibuxiang was hit in a soft spot. Although he continued to glare fiercely at the two of them, his momentum weakened. The person who was supposed to threaten them had become the one being threatened. Mei Zhuyu didn’t expect the situation to change so quickly; he had never played the role of threatening others in his life. Only Wu Zhen was very accustomed to her current role, her appearance and tone revealing her nature as a bully.
Mei Zhuyu hesitated for a moment but still cooperated with Wu Zhen.
Sibuxiang was silent for a while, then suddenly calmed down and said, “You just turned into a cat, and then I realized that you are the current Lord.”
Wu Zhen replied, “You don’t need to say nice things. I won’t give you any face.”
Blocked by her, Sibuxiang seemed to be in a bad mood, and his tone dropped even further. “Then you should know that the one in your hand is the first Cat Lord of Monster City. Chang’an Monster City started with her.”
Wu Zhen was genuinely surprised; she was momentarily at a loss while Sibuxiang continued, “The boy from the Mei family next to you, his father was the previous Cat Lord, and he died protecting the first Cat Lord’s body. Since you succeeded as the Cat Lord, you are also her descendant. In this case, you still dare to say that you want to destroy her body?”
What surprised Wu Zhen more than the fact that she was holding the first Cat Lord was another realization: her husband’s father was the previous Cat Lord? She remembered her father saying that Langjun’s father was previously the governor of Quzhou. How could he become the previous Cat Lord?
Wu Zhen frowned unconsciously as memories resurfaced. She recalled the last Cat Lord from her childhood; she was only a few years old at that time. The enormous cat had given her a bead to save her life and brought her to Monster City, telling her that as the price of saving her life, she would be the Monster City Cat Lord from then on and would be responsible for the city.
Wu Zhen, who was only a few years old, had met the previous Cat Lord twice: once when he saved her and once to say goodbye. He seemed to have mentioned that he was no longer a Cat Lord and was leaving Chang’an in a hurry. However, Wu Zhen wasn’t familiar with him at the time and didn’t care much. She found it interesting that she could become a cat. Over time, she forgot about the previous Cat Lord. In those two encounters, he appeared in the form of a cat.
Her husband once said that he heard his parents mention he was in Chang’an before he was three years old, and later he followed his father to Quzhou, so the timing seemed to match.
Another loud thunder rumbled in the sky, startling Wu Zhen. Suddenly, she felt a chill as Mei Zhuyu reached out and pressed her forehead; his fingers were very cold.
Wu Zhen looked at his expression, relaxed her frown, and sighed with a smile. “Isn’t this also considered an alternative way of following in your father’s footsteps? It turns out that your father helped you find me, your wife. It shows that he was a man with vision, seeing the right person so early.”
Mei Zhuyu was stunned and suddenly smiled. Wu Zhen had never seen her husband smile like that before. It wasn’t the kind of laugh that slightly curved the eyes and the corners of the mouth; he seemed to smile genuinely and happily. When he smiled like that, he truly looked like a young man a few years younger than her. Wu Zhen didn’t know which of her casual words had caught her husband’s attention and made him smile like that, but she couldn’t help but smile too.
The two of them smiled happily, but the weirdo over there wasn’t so pleased. Although his head was rotten and his expression was difficult to discern, Wu Zhen sensed that he might genuinely want to rush over and beat them to death for flirting and discussing love in front of a powerful enemy.
