Chapter 38: Enjoying the Love of His Wife
Bee Beast's expression suddenly changed, and his eyes tightened as he looked at Raven, recalling the killers' outings in the past few days.
The gang recently received a big order. A mysterious customer who came from nowhere spent a huge sum of money to assassinate an ugly woman who lived deep in the back of the gang.
All tribes and towns are under unified internal jurisdiction, public security is stable, and unprovoked killings are not allowed.
Assassins like them can only choose the right time and strike in the wild.
In order to kill the ugly woman and get the bounty, the gang sent a large number of people to ambush near the end of the chapter.
Even if they haven't succeeded, those leaders will return to the gang regularly to report on the situation.
But the question is, why has there been no news in the past few days?
He squinted his eyes and asked through gritted teeth, "What do you mean? Are you related to this matter?"
As he spoke, he looked at the female host next to him, and suddenly a terrible guess came to his mind.
I saw this female for two consecutive days, and she had her face covered tightly. Even when she was tasting the food just now, she only lifted a corner of the veil.
If you weren't so ugly, why would you be so afraid to see people?
What's more, the token on her waist was engraved with the end of chapter mark. There couldn't be so many coincidences in the world!
This is the ugly one!
His attitude towards them suddenly changed. "All the assassins I sent out are gone. You guys are really capable. You actually..."
"You're joking." Raven interrupted him abruptly, "What does this have to do with us?"
"I have no way of knowing the movements of your subordinates. I was just trying to trick you. I didn't want you to reveal everything."
"Were they really completely wiped out? It seems the so-called Blood Shadow Gang isn't that great after all."
As he spoke, he used his wind power to blow the badge on Sheng Ran's waist.
Lai Jie's name was engraved on it, clearly visible in the eyes of the bee beast.
This type of token is equivalent to the identity card of the Beast World Continent. It is made with special craftsmanship and cannot be forged.
The bee beast took a closer look, and its angry mind gradually calmed down.
He also knew a little about the assassination target. His name was Sheng Ran, and he was an exiled criminal from Zhangwei. He was not qualified to come to Beining.
Besides, just looking at her clear and bright eyes, this female is not that ugly.
She is still a mute who can't speak, so the information doesn't match up!
It seems that he was really wrong. It was this ignorant male beast who deliberately blew him up with nonsense!
"Don't be so proud." He flicked his sleeves and threatened, "I have something important to do. I'll have plenty of opportunities to deal with you later."
The bee beast was anxious to go back and check the specific situation of the killers and had no intention of wasting time with these country folk.
Seeing him leave, the owner of Shang Shi Fang used his weight advantage to push him aside and asked Sheng Ran in a flattering tone, "May I ask where this female learned her craft and whether she will live in Beining City permanently?"
Ling Rui answered for her, "These are all my wife's original creations. If you like them, we will come to Bac Ninh regularly to sell them and introduce more dishes."
Upon hearing this, the shop owner was even more impressed. "You actually developed it yourself! That's amazing! I'd like to ask if your wife is planning to take in an apprentice. I'm a hardworking person who's willing to learn and work hard. If there's an opportunity..."
They only prepared three baskets today, but thanks to the Bee Beast's reverse publicity just now, they were all sold out in half an hour.
Although the unit price was low and the quantity was large, I made a lot of money.
Ling Rui noticed Raven's unusual attitude and quickly packed up his stall, ending his conversation with the owner. "No chance, no plans. Goodbye, see you again!"
After putting all the things into the animal warehouse, the three of them quickly left the morning market.
There are still many people who are still not satisfied, and they can only lament that they bought too little and were unable to bring some back for their families to taste this delicacy.
The fried food was finished, but there was still a lot of tea leaves that Sheng Ran had given them. They had already trusted this female's craftsmanship, so they carefully put away the tube of tea bags, wanting to taste what miraculous effects it had.
Before counting the money, Ling Rui asked Raven, "Have you ever fought with the Blood Shadow Gang? When?"
Raven no longer concealed the truth. "As soon as I left the end of the chapter, I was met with countless assassins. Their abilities were poor, and they were all land orcs. I easily dealt with them, so I didn't tell you."
Ling Rui's expression became more serious. "It seems they are all targeting my wife."
He snorted coldly, "This time they didn't dare come from Central City to die in person. They spent a lot of money to find someone, but they didn't realize that it was all wasted. They also gave us clues to find out."
Raven nodded, "Let's spare the bee beast's life for now. We can take action later once we find the mastermind behind this."
Looking at the two beastly husbands' careful and cautious appearance, Sheng Ran felt an unfamiliar sense of security.
If she hadn't happened to meet him today, she really wouldn't have known that Raven had done so many things behind her back.
It takes long-term planning to catch the enemy, and there is no time to rush. Today is the first big sale in Bac Ninh, and we should celebrate it.
Sheng Ran grabbed the two of them and suddenly quickened her pace and walked in one direction.
"Wife, where are we going? The clinic is not here." Ling Rui couldn't help but ask.
Sheng Ran didn't rush to the clinic to save Tu Shanyi.
He was just stuck there because he had no money, he wasn't being abused, so there was no need to worry.
Accompanied by two beastly husbands, she stood in front of a clothing store.
The wooden sign of the shop was carved with a blue bird with its wings spread, and colorful clothes were hung at the door: a peacock blue fox fur jacket, a moon-white rabbit fur robe, and a waistcoat decorated with tiny animal teeth.
Ling Rui immediately understood that his wife wanted to buy new clothes.
She used to be like this, and she liked to spend money lavishly whenever she had some money in her pocket.
They have never had the right to comment, not to mention that this is the money earned by the wife herself.
Ling Rui didn't say much, but watched Sheng Ran walk towards the Xiongshou Garment Area.
"Wife, who are you buying new clothes for?" Ling Rui asked uncertainly.
In the six months since they got married, they haven't worn a single piece of nice clothing.
Ling Rui didn't dare to blame himself, and even wondered, could it be bought for Zhou Baiya?
The next second, Sheng Ran took out a brown satin suit and gestured in front of him.
"Did you pick it for me? You want to buy clothes for me!" Ling Rui looked at Sheng Ran in surprise, and confirmed it again and again before holding up the clothes as if they were a treasure.
The shop assistant was very sweet-talking and kept praising Ling Rui for his tall stature and upright temperament, saying that he would be the most imposing beast in the crowd if he put on the suit.
He was flattered by the praise and followed his friend to try it.
Sheng Ran then picked out a set of black clothes with gold weaving and stuffed it into Raven's hand. This was for him.
"No need." Raven's back tensed a little, and he refused stiffly, "I'm not used to wearing these."
Even if the death contract was lifted, he would still be Sheng Ran's slave, and there was no reason for him to wear such gorgeous clothes.
He wanted to hide back, but Sheng Ran was still holding his wrist. The soft warmth was like a vine, gently wrapping around him and making him unable to move.
Sheng Ran looked at him intently, imagining what Raven would look like wearing it, her dark, sparkling eyes seeming to glow.
Raven couldn't resist those eyes.
When the two of them came out after changing into new clothes, Sheng Ran was still picking and choosing in the ready-made clothing area and picked up two more new sets of clothes.
He felt confused, but when he thought about how gentle his wife usually was towards Pei Xiaoxing, it was normal for him to still be thinking about him at this time.
But who does the other set belong to? Could it be for Huaijun?
Ling Rui clenched his fists and became more and more unhappy. He was obviously not his wife's beastly husband anymore, so how could he have the nerve to enjoy his wife's favor!
