Chapter 197 Husband 34
Although the monster maintained its image during the hunting process, it was forced to change its original form and wrap itself around the creatures from another world when they struggled. It was like a slippery and thick python that tightly wrapped around its prey until it suffocated. After swallowing, it cleaned the prey carefully with its tongue like a cat, but there was still blood left.
The smell is not good either.
Wen Hui was the first to open the door. She sensitively noticed that the monster followed in and wanted to reach out and hug her. However, her nerves tensed up. The strong smell of blood filled the air. She frowned slightly in disgust and dodged the monster's arms.
She placed her hands on his chest and said, "Go take a shower first! I don't like this smell..."
After saying this, Wen Hui looked at the monster's expression.
Dealing with inhuman monsters is still fraught with terror and oppression. No matter how many promises he makes or how harmless he behaves in the past, it cannot eliminate the trembling and involuntary submission that arises from the heart when humans face monsters that they cannot control.
In their previous relationship, Wen Hui was gentle and generous. She understood Zheng Song's hard work after a busy day, and patiently took care of Zheng Song's family. While Zheng Song was busy with work, she endured his nitpicking and took care of his parents and relatives. In that relationship, Wen Hui was humble and submissive, hoping that her tenderness would be exchanged for half the treatment from her husband. When her desire was consumed by long-term contempt and taking it for granted, she felt tired and empty.
The monster's disguise was the final straw that broke her back. Her tense nerves suddenly snapped, and her fear and trembling in the face of the monster slowly shifted from one extreme to another.
She no longer wanted to live her life according to other people's wishes, and no longer wanted to compromise herself because of her partner's preferences. Even if she was facing a monster that could devour her at any time, and a monster with an absolute disparity in power from her, it could no longer control her life.
She thought to herself:
If the monster can provide her with a safe environment and respect her, she is willing to give the monster the love he needs in return. If he is arrogant like her ex-husband and uses his identity as a monster to force and tease her, making her like a caged bird, she will leave him even if it means losing her life.
The teardrop mole under Wen Hui's eyes was illuminated by the bright white light, and a misty coldness shrouded her face, and her gentle and weak aura showed a bit of calm scrutiny.
After the monster's intimate behavior was stopped, he fell into inevitable grievance. He kept thinking about Wen Hui's promise and the deep kiss that was forced to end in the bridal shop. After returning to the familiar and enclosed environment, he couldn't wait for his wife to fulfill her promise, but Wen Hui's gentle expression hid obvious disgust.
“Meihui.”
The monster saw himself in Wen Hui's eyes, his muscular figure exposed, his tattered suit hanging from his waist, his honey-colored skin stained with conspicuous blood. He froze, irritated that he had actually asked for a kiss in such a filthy and slovenly state... The monster pursed his lips, feeling awkward, and took a few steps back, putting some distance between them, lest she take the bloody smell out on him.
"I'll take a shower right now." The monster walked towards the bathroom with a droopy head. When he turned the knob to open the bathroom door, he paused slightly and looked back at Wen Hui. "Hui Hui, please don't look down on me. I promise I'll be more careful next time and never show up in front of you like this again."
His expression was pitiful, like a large dog that was drenched by the rain and could be abandoned by its owner at any time. It wagged its tail hard behind it, longing for its owner's mercy.
Wen Hui thought of this scene, and the coldness on her face softened. The monster's behavior was within her expectations, and it had lived up to her trust. She spoke with a genuine smile, "...you must keep your word. I don't like the smell. Next time you eat, you'd better clean yourself up before coming back. You've made a mess of the carpet!"
Wen Hui pointed to the light gray carpet spread at the entrance.
The dark red blood blooms like flowers.
Upon hearing this, the monster quickly said, "Huihui, it's true that I didn't do it well. You go back to the room and rest. I'll clean up the blanket... I'll clean it up now!" He walked towards the door with his torn suit hanging on his shoulders, avoiding Wen Hui, picked up the blanket and walked to the bathroom. He turned back and stared at Wen Hui reluctantly, "...Huihui, I have to restore my original form while I clean it up. Don't come in, you'll be scared!"
The bathroom door closed.
The negotiations with the monster went smoothly. In fact, all their previous interactions showed that the monster in the house had a gentle temper. During the days when he played Zheng Song, his actions made Wen Hui rekindle her expectations for marriage.
——He did a really good job, better than most men.
But a monster is still a monster. Wen Hui looked at the blood splattered on the ground by his movements, and a helpless smile curled up at the corner of her mouth unconsciously. She took a wet towel and half-knelt to wipe vigorously. After wiping away the wet blood, she took the mop and mopped the floor again.
The occasional stupidity of the monster is indeed cute. As long as he is willing to listen to advice and take action, Wen Hui finds it acceptable - even if he is a monster, it doesn't matter, right?
She secretly encouraged herself.
Thinking of the convenience the monster brought her, she was instantly filled with gratitude.
She went back to the house and changed into home clothes. After a moment of silence, she walked straight to the bathroom in the living room. Without knocking, she opened the door. What came into her sight was a body entangled in flesh and blood, a monster-like appearance beyond her cognition.
The monster froze, and quickly regained its human appearance. Its limbs were shaped by the tangled strands of flesh and blood. Before it could even form human skin, a white hand landed on the ugly scarlet flesh.
Red and white.
The contrast is stark under the harsh white light of the bathroom.
The monster's slightly hoarse voice rang out: "Hui Hui...Hui Hui, I scared you, don't be afraid, don't be afraid of me."
"That's it." Wen Hui stopped him from transforming any further.
Despite being mentally prepared, her limbs trembled when she saw the horrific gathering of flesh and blood in front of her. She lowered her eyes, daring only to stare at the sticky substance lying on the tile floor, which looked like a sticky swamp.
"I have to adapt to you. Can you change into a person I can accept more?"
The monster changed its shape the moment the bathroom door opened, creating a human body, but it didn't have time to change into honey-colored skin and facial features, so the body looked particularly strange.
Wen Hui's soft palm touched the monster's real flesh and blood.
The scarlet flesh squirmed restlessly, wishing it could flow to Wen Hui's feet and wrap around her, pressing every inch of her skin tightly against itself. Intense desire rolled in his heart, and the sound of the beating heart in the simulated chest echoed in the bathroom.
The water is gurgling.
Crystal clear water droplets slid down the monster's scarlet skin, and the bones and internal organs made of flesh and blood followed the trajectory of the water droplets, like honey slowly dissolving into liquid and spreading flat on the white porcelain floor.
His eyeballs were a darker color within the scarlet flesh, and like two rubies, he stared at his wife quietly as the flesh surged with waves.
He observed shock, disbelief, fear on his wife's face, followed by calmness and peace after it subsided. Then the monster calmly cracked open, revealing its teeth and tongue from its scarlet flesh, and its tone was as gentle as ever:
"Meihui, can you accept me like this? I don't think I'm scary, right?"
Compared to a human body without facial features and skin, a horrifying form that looked as if the skin had been deliberately peeled off, the sticky swamp-like thing in front of him was obviously more acceptable.
Wen Hui smiled weakly, squatted on the ground, and tentatively reached out to touch the part farthest from the crack. The monster suddenly groaned and pleaded, "Hui Hui, don't touch me. I haven't transformed completely yet. Give me a little while. I'll dissolve your body."
The bulge of flesh, resembling a blister, slowly melted into the surrounding goo. In Wen Hui's eyes, the monster before her transformed into a crimson lake. Unlike a lake, two eyes shimmered on the surface, watching her intently. Their gaze was tender and lingering, and within the cracks between them lay the gleaming white of teeth and tongue.
It's still quite scary.
But it is still within the acceptable range after Wen Hui has done enough psychological preparation.
"That's so rude," Wen Hui gently reprimanded him. "Go to the bathtub, why do you lie down on the floor?"
She used a normal tone to hide her inner nervousness. When the monster obediently surged into the bathtub, she turned on the water valve and asked him, "Where is it dirty? Let me help you clean it."
Then, right before her eyes, the monster suddenly transformed into the color of a burning iron. Even through the color, she could almost sense its scorching heat. If the monster had human form, its cheeks would have blushed, its eyes rolling in its flesh, its gaze fixed on Wen Hui. After a moment, it stumbled and spoke with joy:
"... Huihui! I'm dirty everywhere. The factory is so dirty, the woods are full of garbage, and there are a lot of rotting corpses. I searched for a long time before I found food, and it took a lot of effort... Well, it was easy to swallow it, but it stained my clothes! And my body, Huihui, look here..." A piece of flesh with a torn surface and bleeding gathered into a tentacle-like thing stopped in front of her.
"It's broken here."
Wen Hui stared silently, then grabbed the tape gloves and put them on her hands, applied shower gel on them and began to scrub.
The monster's low moans could be heard from time to time. Sometimes it was an excited voice saying "Huihui! I like you so much! Here, here, and here", sometimes it was a shy voice saying "Huihui, it must be very hard, I can do it myself", and sometimes it turned into a schizophrenic begging "Don't leave, Huihui, just stay with me in the bathroom! You see, I'm not scary at all, just imagine me as a hot spring, Huihui, do you want to take a hot spring bath?"...
No matter how calm Wen Hui tried to appear, she couldn't resist the monster's unrestrained nonsense. She blushed and rubbed and washed it perfunctorily twice. The monster's area was too large, and her arms were sore from exhaustion.
She thought she had been incredibly gentle and considerate in front of the monster, and even if her arms ached, she might not be able to clean his entire body. She simply gave up and said, "...Alright! You can handle the rest yourself. I'm tired. Since you're full, I won't make you dinner."
"Okay, Huihui, thank you for your hard work." The monster climbed to the edge of the bathtub reluctantly and watched Wen Hui leave.
