The Daily Life Of Mei Furen Doting On Her Husband - Chapter 40

Liu Taizhen stretched out her hand and unfolded the painting that Ling Xiao had given her. Dozens of evil ghosts with ferocious expressions came into view. She looked at it carefully and praised, “This painting is good, and quite spiritual.”

Wu Zhen looked at it for a while and suddenly asked curiously, “This painting style is very familiar. Why do I feel like it was painted by Mei Si?”

Liu Taizhen put her hand on the painting to feel it, then took her hand back and said, “Wu Zhen, do you feel it?”

Wu Zhen nodded, saying, “I feel it. This thing is clearly ominous, but it is too ‘clean’. Even if it has some strange evil power, it is very weak.” She turned her head to look at Ling Xiao and the others, then asked, “How did you catch this thing?”

Madam Zhu, who was taller and fuller than most women, said, “We saw these creatures riding on a black cloud heading towards the palace, so we stopped them. We thought they were evil ghosts, but they didn’t have any ghost aura. My husband said he smelled ink on them, so we guessed they might be ink ghosts. We used a talisman scroll to arrest them.”

Ling Xiao nodded and added, “That’s right. After these things were put into the scroll, they became a picture of an evil ghost. But we studied it carefully over the past two days and felt that it didn’t seem to be a black ghost, so we brought it to Yan Tower for you to take a look.”

Wu Zhen’s attention was not on that, but on… 

“Heading towards the palace?”

“Yes, what do you think is wrong, Cat Lord?”

Wu Zhen inexplicably thought of the Princess’s white camellia tree. Although the spirit didn’t say anything, he had obviously gone through a fierce battle to become like that. Wu Zhen had previously wondered what had entered the palace without attracting any attention. Even when she went there in person, she didn’t notice any ominous aura lingering nearby.

She suddenly rolled up the scroll and said, “Lend it to me first. I’ll go find Mei Si and see if it’s something he painted.” 

Every time Mei Si painted a new picture, he would bring it to her for appreciation. After seeing so many, Wu Zhen was almost certain that the painting in her hand was painted by Mei Si. So how did Mei Si paint something with such evil power?

Mei Si, who was thought of by Wu Zhen, was in the Monster City at the moment. However, the ‘Mei Si’ at this moment was no longer the same Mei Si as before. His body was occupied by a monster spirit, and his soul temporarily fell into a coma, squeezed into a corner of his body.

The monster spirit that occupied Mei Si’s body was hiding from a man who had captured him, cut him into two parts, and locked him in a specially made brush and paper. The man looked like an ordinary sick man, but his methods were strange. He had been living well in Yangzhou, but the man had brought him there in such a state and forced him to let a human use his power. He felt very aggrieved.

He had never been to Chang’an City and was unfamiliar with the place, but he could feel that the place was filled with evil spirits and inhuman creatures. If he hid there, the man would probably not be able to find him in a short time. He decided that after hiding for a while and avoiding the limelight, he would leave the place and return to Yangzhou.

The monster spirit made plans and searched the Monster Market for a while, trying to find a suitable place to recuperate. His monster spirit was drained by the painter who threw the paper and brush that bound him into the fire and burned it. Although it indirectly set him free, it also hurt his vitality, and he needed to recuperate well.

After a round, the monster spirit chose a building in the Monster City that was shaped like a wild goose with its wings spread, which was the Yan Tower. This outsider sneaked into the Monster City without knowing that there were rules, and he didn’t know that there were two women in the Monster City who couldn’t be offended in the Yan Tower. He just found that the Yan Tower was in a very good location and would be beneficial to his injury, so he sneaked into the Yan Tower without hesitation.

In Yan Tower, Wu Zhen left, Ling Xiao and Zhu Niangzi also went home, leaving Liu Taizhen alone. As the child of a human and a monster, she had some physical defects and had to stay in the water for a while every once in a while because her mother was a water-loving aquatic snake monster. For Liu Taizhen, staying in the water also made her more comfortable.

There was a huge pool in the lobby of Yan Tower. The water in the pool was warm all year round and filled with mist. From time to time, Liu Taizhen would transform into her original form and soak in the pool. That time was no exception. She transformed into a snake and soaked in the water, quietly sinking to the bottom.

Yan Tower was very quiet; it was always so quiet. Suddenly, Liu Taizhen felt a strange aura invading Yan Tower. That was her territory; even if the intruder was very careful, she would still find out in the first place. Liu Taizhen did not rush out but continued to stay in the pool, waiting for the intruder to approach. It had been a long time since a monster dared to sneak into Yan Tower. This one dared to sneak in like this, which made her conclude that the person was either too brave or too stupid.

The monster spirit who sneaked into the Yan Tower was overjoyed to find that there was no one in the building. Since there was no one, it was much more convenient for him. The building was decorated gorgeously, with a large pool in the center, a long bridge across the pool leading to the platform behind, and two spiral staircases on the left and right sides.

Because he was occupying the body of an ordinary person and his vitality was severely damaged, the monster’s senses were much dulled. He walked onto the suspended long bridge and did not notice that there was a pair of green eyes in the water under the bridge, sizing him up from the bottom of the water.

Is this Mei Si? Liu Taizhen swam slowly under the water, observing the person walking on the bridge. She had seen Mei Si before, and she was familiar with the people who often went out with Wu Zhen. There was nothing she could do. When those energetic teenagers saw the group of girls on her side, they had to come over and curse at each other. It was noisy, and they naturally became familiar with each other after many times.

However, Mei Si seemed to be a little strange. Not long ago, Wu Zhen left with the painting that was said to be his, and he suddenly appeared here. How could an ordinary person enter the Monster City and the Yan Tower?

When the monster spirit reached the middle of the bridge, he finally noticed something was wrong, but it was too late. He couldn’t even run away. A giant snake suddenly jumped out of the water and grabbed him, throwing him into the water. The monster spirit was caught off guard and fell into the water. His body twitched and he suddenly vomited a large amount of ink.

The original form of that monster spirit was a scroll of ink painting that was ever-changing, and it was most afraid of getting wet. Liu Taizhen used her tail to wrap around Mei Si’s body and swung it, and he immediately spat out a large amount of ink. Seeing that it was almost done, Liu Taizhen put her head in front of Mei Si and opened her bloody mouth to bite his neck. No blood was seen, but as Liu Taizhen’s snake head moved away, a ball of twisted black ink, wrapped in a layer of purple smoke, was forced out of Mei Si’s body by her.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the monster wanted to escape, but the snake opened its mouth and sucked the monster directly into her stomach. The snake’s body bulged, and it bulged twice at first, but soon calmed down, and then the bulge slowly subsided.
