The Daily Life Of Mei Furen Doting On Her Husband - Chapter 94

In the past two years, the Chang’an Monster Market had become increasingly peaceful, with no major incidents for a long time. These monster generals had slept for so long that even grass had grown on their bodies. One day, they suddenly felt a pure and righteous spiritual power that seemed to repel the Monster Market. The spiritual energy stirred the monster generals awake, and they opened their eyes simultaneously. One of the monster generals, whose eyes were as large as copper bells, just woke up and shouted angrily before seeing who was approaching, “Who are you? How dare you come to the Monster Market and act so presumptuous!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a female voice laughed and said, “What are you yelling about? It’s so loud, it’s killing me.”

The giant monster general looked down and saw the little Cat Lord, who had once tortured the monsters to death, standing at his feet and looking up at him with a smile. When he saw her smiling face, the monster general felt a sharp pain in his head, recalling the days when he was tormented by the little Cat Lord, and he wished he could hide in the ground.

Then, he took another look at the source of the pure spiritual energy that had awakened him and the other monsters. Wasn’t it the man whose hand was held by the little cat?

The gatekeepers looked at each other in confusion. The small trees on their heads swayed like weeds as they turned to look at one another. After a moment of silence, one of the monsters hesitated and asked, “Cat Lord, I wonder if the person next to you…”

Wu Zhen had been waiting for them to ask, so she took two steps back with Mei Zhuyu and proudly displayed him to the monsters. She announced, “This is my husband. I got married some time ago, and I’m bringing him here for everyone to see.”

How could anyone dare to marry the Cat Lord? Weren’t they afraid of being tortured to death by her? All the monster generals widened their eyes in shock. Then, seeing the strong spiritual energy emanating from Mei Zhuyu, they suddenly realized that with such cultivation, it was no wonder he dared to marry the Cat Lord. Clearly, he was a man of great skill and courage.

Leading her husband, Wu Zhen walked past the scorching gazes of the monster generals and entered the Monster Market, causing an immediate commotion, with people and horses being thrown to the ground.

On that day, all the monsters living in the Monster Market sensed the approaching aura of a Taoist Priest. Startled, they thought a Taoist Priest had intruded into their territory. As they turned around in astonishment, their shock grew even more.

Some monsters knew the Cat Lord had gotten married, but very few knew who she had married. So when they saw the Cat Lord holding a man’s hand so intimately with a gentle expression, they could not help but be frightened.

When the monsters realized that the Taoist Priest with the fearsome aura had been brought in by the Cat Lord, their fear subsided slightly, but their curiosity increased.

The days had been peaceful, and the monsters were bored. Finally, something exciting was happening. Whether they were eating in the shops or playing at home, they all rushed out and gathered on both sides of the street. Some peered down from the doors and windows, while others squeezed onto the railings on the second floor to watch the spectacle. In an instant, the market was filled with monsters, all with curious and interested faces.

Mei Zhuyu had indeed encountered many monsters before. Due to his special physique, many evil monsters had wanted to devour him since childhood. To have survived this long, he had naturally slain many monsters that coveted him. However, even he had never seen so many monsters at once.

There were weasels wearing short shirts with sweat clothes around their necks, peeking their heads out; the rabbit monsters adorned with hairpins and jewelry, dressed in flowery skirts; the mountain rats with straw hats, carrying large sacks of goods onto carts; the flower monsters with flowering vines wrapped around their waists, hiding timidly behind trees… If not for the slight differences between them and ordinary people, they would look no different from the common folk.

Wu Zhen felt no shame for scaring the monsters; in fact, she walked down the middle of the street with great enthusiasm, loudly introducing the man beside her to everyone around. There were waves of exclamations and wows, followed by a buzz of discussion. The two of them had become the focus of everyone’s attention.

Mei Zhuyu, feeling a bit uncomfortable being stared at by so many monsters, returned their gaze. Suddenly, there was silence in the area where he looked; the monsters, frightened by his spiritual energy, froze in place. As Mei Zhuyu glanced around, the surroundings grew noticeably quieter.

He remained silent, but Wu Zhen, looking between the silly monsters and the man beside her, only smiled more brightly.

However, as more monsters gathered around, Wu Zhen suddenly stopped walking. Her smile faded, and she looked around, saying in a deep voice, “I brought my husband here today to introduce him to you all. Why do you all look unhappy?”

The monsters living in the Monster Market saw her expression and knew something was wrong. An old man with a white beard immediately laughed and said, “No, no, of course, we’re happy! Anyone the Cat Lord values is also an honored guest to us. I own a shop, and my mountain treasure soup is quite good. If you have time, why not bring your husband over?”

With the shrewd old monster fo-ti (root of Polygonum multiflorum) taking the lead, the other monsters were quick to follow, and soon both sides of the street were filled with enthusiastic greetings.

Some of the smarter monsters, noticing how kindly the Cat Lord treated Mei Zhuyu, ran up to offer her a gift. They enthusiastically stuffed a ginseng as thick as their forearm into Mei Zhuyu’s hands, like a simple farmer casually handing over a carrot.

Chaos ensued once again. Mei Zhuyu had only taken five steps when all sorts of things inexplicably appeared in his hands. Those who came later saw his hands were full, so they simply hung their gifts on his shoulders.

Before he could utter a single word of refusal, he found himself decked out like a colorful silk tree. It was the first time Mei Zhuyu realized how enthusiastic monsters could be.

Of course, there were also some monsters who disliked the Taoist Priest and grumbled in the background, “Why are you trying to curry favor with him? It’s embarrassing for the monsters.”

But they didn’t dare say it loudly, lest someone hear. Not to mention whether the powerful-looking Taoist Priest would get angry and retaliate, even if the Cat Lord overheard, she would likely be unhappy and torment them half to death.

Better not to provoke her…

Wu Zhen saw that her husband was loaded up in the blink of an eye and had difficulty walking. She laughed twice and finally spoke to stop him, “Take back the things you’ve stuffed in. Letting my husband carry everything—aren’t you worried he’ll be exhausted?”

The monsters: “…” It seems that the Cat Lord was unable to resist the temptation of beauty. No, look at the Taoist Priest’s face again; he couldn’t be called a beauty at all. On the contrary, it was more like the Taoist Priest was unable to resist the temptation of beauty.
