The Daily Life Of Mei Furen Doting On Her Husband - Chapter 68

Mr. Bai knew that Cat Lord was married, but when they saw someone they liked, vixens would give it a try, regardless of whether the person was married or not. However, he had a good eye and, after a few encounters, saw that Cat Lord wasn’t interested. 

Unfortunately, he really liked women like Wu Zhen. If she were willing, he would be ready to be intimate with her, whether he was a man or a woman. Moreover, with Wu Zhen’s status, if he really hooked up with her, his life in Chang’an would likely become easy.

Feeling quite sorry, Mr. Bai finally gave up on pestering Wu Zhen.

After parting with Wu Zhen, Mr. Bai began thinking about his next target. He wanted to try the Snake Lord Liu Taizhen again, but when he thought about the Snake Lord’s cold attitude and the fact that she was still a giant snake, he hesitated. When Mr. Bai was a child, he nearly died in the mouth of a snake and was almost swallowed alive, which left him with some trauma. Therefore, after thinking it over, he regretfully gave up on Liu Taizhen.

So, where should he go to find the right one next time?

Mr. Bai was walking along a street in Xuan Yang Fang, pondering where to find a suitable partner, when suddenly, he felt a sense of danger enveloping his body. Instinctively, he wanted to escape. However, his reaction wasn’t as fast as the person who attacked him. In the blink of an eye, Mr. Bai was strangled by a slender, thin hand and dragged into an empty alley.

Mr. Bai was stunned. With the Cat Lord and the Snake Lord guarding Chang’an City, how could a monster dare to attack so casually? Soon, Mr. Bai realized that the person strangling his neck was not a monster. The person was tall and thin, appearing human, with no trace of monster aura but instead a bit of Taoist pure and upright energy that was deliberately revealed.

Oh no, it’s a Taoist priest!

 Being strangled by the neck and forced back into his original form, Mr. Bai groaned inwardly. How could he have encountered such a powerful Taoist Priest who could directly suppress his monstrous aura and revert him to his true form? Monsters and Taoist priests were naturally hostile to each other. Although Mr. Bai had never committed any evil deeds, he still felt his heart tremble at the sight of the Taoist Priest, especially when the Priest’s cold expression and the grip on his neck rendered him immobile. It was clear that this Taoist didn’t intend to have a proper conversation.

Mr. Bai panicked but remembered that he was in Chang’an, under the jurisdiction of someone powerful, so he quickly begged for mercy, “Master Taoist, please spare my life. I have never done anything against the law, nor have I ever harmed anyone. I came to Chang’an with the permission of the two in the Monster Market.” His voice was hoarse due to the strangling.

Though Mr. Bai spoke softly, pleading for mercy from the start, there was also a hidden threat in his words. He was a monster who had just passed through Minglu and now resided in Chang’an. As long as he committed no crimes, the two masters of the Monster City would protect him, and even a Taoist Priest couldn’t act recklessly here.

After Mr. Bai finished speaking, he noticed that the young Taoist’s grip did not loosen, and the cold, sharp gaze remained fixed on him. After being stared at for a while, Mr. Bai felt his body growing stiffer, a creeping urge to curl up overcoming him. It wasn’t that he was cowardly; he had simply assessed the situation and realized that the Taoist before him was terrifying. Even if he released just a little of his aura, he would want to flee. If he fought recklessly like those young and impulsive monsters, he would likely end up with only his skin—or nothing at all. His survival and cultivation of three tails had been due to his flexibility.

The fox, frozen in mid-air, softened his voice and said again, “I don’t know how I have offended you, Taoist Priest. If you would kindly tell me, I will certainly change my ways.”

Finally, Mr. Bai heard the young Taoist Priest speak. He said, “From now on, you are not allowed to come within ten feet of Wu Zhen.”

Mr. Bai was stunned and asked, “You are…?”

As soon as he asked, he felt a sharp pain in his throat again. Though young, this Taoist Priest had no mercy, and his strength was terrifying. Had Mr. Bai been an ordinary fox, his neck would have been crushed to pieces.

“Did you hear that clearly?”

Mr. Bai didn’t dare to argue further and quickly replied, “Yes, yes, I understand. Taoist Priest, don’t worry, I won’t dare to see her again!”

After saying so, Mr. Bai finally felt his neck relax as the Taoist tossed him aside and wiped his hands.

At that moment, the Priest restrained his aura, and Mr. Bai noticed that he had lost all his sharpness, appearing like an ordinary person. This only deepened Mr. Bai’s awe. For someone so young to have practiced Taoism to the point of returning to his original nature spoke of amazing talent.

Seeing the fox huddled in the corner, too frightened to move, the Taoist Priest glanced at him again and said calmly, “Go.”

Mr. Bai didn’t dare to stay any longer. He leapt over the wall and hid back in his mansion, not daring to show up for several days.

Several days later, Mr. Bai finally ventured out again, this time using the appearance of a woman instead of a man. The appearance of Miss Bai was even more beautiful and delicate, like a lotus swaying in the wind, evoking pity in those who saw her.

She went out this time at the invitation of a young man. Unexpectedly, in the East Market, Mrs. Bai saw Wu Zhen. When she noticed the tall, thin young man beside Wu Zhen, her face paled, freezing in place. It was the Taoist Priest who had nearly broken her neck that day! Miss Bai suppressed the urge to turn and flee, forcing herself to stand firm. The young man beside her, noticing the beauty’s frightened expression, asked with concern, “What’s wrong?”

Mrs. Bai quickly composed herself, shaking her head and saying, “It’s nothing.” After a moment, she pretended to glance casually at Wu Zhen and the man next to her, asking with feigned curiosity, “Hey, isn’t that Miss Wu? My brother knows her. Who’s the man with her?”

The man who had invited her out happened to know Wu Zhen and Mei Zhuyu and immediately answered, “The man next to Miss Wu is her newly married husband, Mei Zhuyu.”

Miss Bai sighed inwardly. Well, no wonder. So, it turned out he was jealous. If she had known that the Cat Lord was married to such a powerful Taoist Priest, she wouldn’t have dared to provoke him. She had been surprised when she heard that the Cat Lord was married to an ordinary person. A Taoist Priest? How could a dignified Cat Lord marry an ordinary man?

Feeling like she understood the situation, Miss Bai recalled the Taoist priest’s two cold words, touched her neck with lingering fear, and decided to turn and run the next time she saw these two people. 

Beauty was good, but life was more important!

Wu Zhen and Mei Zhuyu strolled around the East Market for a while. As they were examining a stall set up by a Hu merchant, Wu Zhen suddenly noticed her husband staring at something behind him. When she followed his gaze and saw the back of Miss Bai, she immediately raised an eyebrow.

“That’s the lady from the Bai family who has become somewhat famous recently. Why? Does she look pretty?” Wu Zhen asked with a smile.

Mei Zhuyu turned away and shook his head. “No.”
