The Daily Life Of Mei Furen Doting On Her Husband - Chapter 135
Wu Zhen woke up quickly. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw her lover’s face wet with rain. His eyebrows were furrowed, his black hair was stuck to his cheeks, and the curve of his jaw was as sharp as a knife.
Wu Zhen turned over and sat up, wiping the water off her face, and said in disbelief, “Was I possessed just now? Someone took control of my body?”
She looked a little irritable, prompting Mei Zhuyu to comfort her. “You inherited the legacy of the Cat Lord, and you have the Cat Lord’s Yuan Pearl in your body. The one just now was the owner of the Yuan Pearl. You inherited her legacy and got her Yuan Pearl, so she can occupy your body so easily. Ordinary people can’t do that.”
Wu Zhen wanted to curse again but suddenly noticed the wound on Mei Zhuyu’s abdomen. She hissed, raised his shirt, and took a closer look.
“How come you’re still fine when you’re injured like this?” Wu Zhen pushed Mei Zhuyu down and picked him up. Mei Zhuyu was startled and subconsciously lifted his legs, standing back on the ground; his legs were too long.
Wu Zhen glared at him and said, “Be quiet.”
Mei Zhuyu silently glanced at her belly and said, “I’ll walk by myself.”
Wu Zhen replied, “Okay, okay, go on your own. It’s raining so hard; find a place to treat your wound.”
Mei Zhuyu suggested, “This area is a bit deserted. I saw an inn at the foot of the mountain when I came here. Let’s go to the inn and rest first?”
Wu Zhen agreed, “Anything is fine, as long as you quickly seal this hole in your stomach. My stomach is starting to hurt just by looking at it.”
After she said that, Mei Zhuyu became nervous, and the two of them stared at each other’s stomachs worriedly.
The two were about to leave when they were stopped. The shadow cat said in the gradually fading rain, “You guys are leaving like this? What about me?”
Wu Zhen turned her head to look at her, smiling. “You look like you’re about to fall apart, so stop going back and forth, and stay here to accompany the one next to you for the last time.”
Mei Zhuyu also looked at her, said nothing, just nodded at her, and then left without looking back.
The cat shadow smiled, walked to the clean head, lay down, and looked at the dark eyes on the head, as if looking at him. After a while, the cat shadow lowered her head and closed her eyes. The shadow slowly and silently dissipated, and the head quickly petrified into ash, leaving only the skeleton.
Wu Zhen held Mei Zhuyu’s slightly trembling left hand tightly and walked with him on the mountain road in the rain.
“I didn’t expect it,” Mei Zhuyu suddenly said in silence. That monster was the existence he hated the most. He had tortured him for several years since his parents died. When he came, he thought it might be difficult to kill him completely, but he didn’t expect things to end so suddenly. He didn’t feel relieved; instead, he felt speechless and sighed.
Wu Zhen saw through his thoughts and said, “My dear, didn’t you expect that a reinforcement would suddenly appear and take care of the bad guys?” She laughed. “This is not a story. Do we have to fight with the bad guys for several rounds and then kill them with our last breath to make it a normal development?”
Mei Zhuyu was speechless because of her. The sigh in his heart was drowned out by her laughter. He could only look at her without saying a word.
Wu Zhen squeezed his fingers hard, gritting her teeth a bit. “You’ve been injured so badly; you deserve this.”
Unexpectedly, Mei Zhuyu said, “It’s just a wound on the abdomen. It’s not a serious injury. It will be fine after applying medicine and bandaging it. There’s no need to worry.”
The result was that the man who swore there was no need to worry suddenly fainted for no reason half an hour later, and Wu Zhen couldn’t wake him up no matter how hard she tried. Wu Zhen instinctively thought it was the wound on his abdomen and that it was not as simple as it looked.
With no other choice, Wu Zhen had to take him back to Changxi Temple again.
Not counting the last time, this was Wu Zhen’s first visit. Although she brought the fainted Mei Zhuyu back with her, she was treated with a different level of respect than last time. It was the first time in many years that the wife of a Taoist disciple had come to visit the Taoist Changxi Temple.
A large group of Taoist priests, all wearing Taoist robes and sporting Taoist buns, stood in several rows from tall to short, with different ages and expressions, and they all saluted her politely. If her husband were not still unconscious for some reason, Wu Zhen would definitely have chatted with these Taoist priests.
Mei Zhuyu was examined by Taoist Siqing and several other brothers for a while. Wu Zhen was invited over, and a white-bearded old man, one of Mei Zhuyu’s brothers, explained to her, “Evil spirits have entered his body. He is confused and can’t wake up for the time being.”
Wu Zhen thought to herself that the monster was indeed vicious and had a backup plan. It was probably because of the bone spur. She did not show much anger on her face and remained calm. However, she had already decided to return to the monster’s lair in two days and smash the remaining bones into ashes.
“Don’t worry. Although our junior brother is young, his cultivation is not much worse than ours. He has been strong-willed since childhood and will definitely be able to resolve this crisis and dispel the evil spirit quickly,” the white-bearded senior brother kindly comforted her.
He said so, but Wu Zhen was not a girl who believed everything others said. She knew that the situation was not as simple as the Senior Brother claimed. Instead, it was quite tricky. The evil spirit that had entered her husband’s body was not ordinary. The longer it was delayed, the worse it would be. If he didn’t wake up in three days, he might never wake up again.
Taoist Siqing let his disciples do all the talking, pretending to be a mysterious master. He waited for his disciple’s wife to ask him how to make his disciple wake up quickly. After waiting for a long time without her speaking, he couldn’t help coughing and said in a serious voice, “If you want Guyu to wake up quickly, I have a way.”
Taoist Priest Siqing, who acted like an elder, did come up with a solution. “He has been bewitched by the evil spirit in his brain. Just wake him up.” It was easy for the Taoist Priest to say, but it was not as simple as he claimed. He wanted to bring Wu Zhen to Mei Zhuyu’s heaven to help him dispel the evil spirit.
“You were able to exchange bodies before, which shows that you two were in tune with each other and trust each other. This is extremely rare. Otherwise, I would not dare to let you rashly perform such an extraordinary method.” Taoist Siqing’s every move and gesture exuded the demeanor of a dignified old man. If Wu Zhen had not seen him with a rough, bandit-like attitude last time, she would have suspected that she was looking at a fake Taoist Siqing.
“Are you willing to help Disciple Guyu?”
Wu Zhen naturally agreed. After she did, Taoist Siqing spent half a day preparing things before coming over and saying it was okay.
