Chapter 78: The slutty fox who climbed into bed on the first day of her marriage
Ai Chiji hadn't intended to cry, but the two words Sheng Ran said really made him angry.
The more he thought about it, the more his nose sore. Ai Chiji resisted the urge to cry and continued his verbal attacks.
"Don't think I don't know how much those beastly husbands hated you in the past! They're only after your temporary fame and fortune! After you fall, they'll surely run away faster than anyone else!"
"By then, a mute with no special abilities like you will not be able to survive in the beast world. Sooner or later, you will be crushed to ashes and left without a burial place!"
His eyes were bloodshot as he swore curses until the wooden railing of the prison van clanged against his waist.
Ai Chiji howled in pain and struggled to turn around. Seeing that it was the owner of Shang Shi Fang, he became even more furious: "Zhu Bajie! You're a traitor! In the past, you ran a restaurant and I ran a wine shop. I was kind enough to give you some of my resources, but now you're trying to seize my market and sell alcohol for a living. Sooner or later, you'll be struck by lightning!"
No matter what Ai Chiji shouted, it was already a dying struggle.
The orcs around him couldn't stand it anymore, so they picked up the rotten vegetable leaves on the ground and threw them at his face.
"Bah! Black-hearted thing!"
“You deserve to go to jail!”
The rotten vegetable leaves were stuck to Ai Chiji's heavily made-up face, mixed with his rouge, saliva and sweat, making him look as miserable as if he had fallen into a mud pit.
When the guards finally stuffed him into the prison van and locked the wooden bars, Ai Chiji was still clutching the railings and shaking them frantically: "I'll remember you! Everyone in Beining City! When I get out, I'll burn this wrecked city to the ground! I'll scratch that dumb guy's face blacker than the bottom of a pot!"
His voice was getting farther and farther away, but it still echoed at the end of the alley, like a mad dog with its tail stepped on, howling miserably and ridiculously.
But no matter how strong your mental state is, your emotions will be affected to some extent if someone points at your nose and scolds you like this.
Sheng Ran stood there, suddenly feeling powerless and forgetting what she should do. She just watched the prison van disappear around the corner, her fingertips unconsciously clenching the corner of her clothes.
Ai Chiji's scolding was like a thorn, piercing the softest part of her heart - without the beastly husband protecting her, she really did not have the basic ability to survive.
For example, just now, everyone was helping to serve wine or was busy with other things, and no one was by her side.
After being scolded so much, Sheng Ran couldn't even utter a word in response.
"Ignore him." Pei Xiaoxing hurried back, nervously covering her ears, looking into her eyes gently and concernedly, "The words of a mad dog are not good for your ears."
Sheng Ran looked up and met the worry in his eyes. The wind from the alleyway carried the aroma of sake, mixed with the faint curses in the distance, but it strangely calmed her mind.
"My dear wife, at least I won't leave." He seemed to see what she was worried about at a glance and promised bluntly, "Didn't I tell you that Xiaoxing will stay by your side and protect you until I die?"
When she heard the word "death", Sheng Ran glared at him anxiously. Why was he joking with her life again?
Seeing that her expression finally became a little more lively, Pei Xiaoxing felt relieved and chuckled. He loosened his broad and gentle palm from the side of her ear and touched Sheng Ran's head affectionately.
With a look of cherishment as if treating the most beloved thing, he continued, "But for my wife, I will try to live as long as possible."
Even though his hand had left her, the area at the base of her ear that he had touched suddenly started burning.
Sheng Ran nodded with a blush on her face.
Pei Xiaoxing then took out a small piece of wrapped cloth and said, "This is the Heart Protecting Scale. I just found it in the secret room of Zuixian Tower."
Sheng Ran took it with surprise, then looked around and waved to Huai Jun in the corner to come over.
Finally, the item could be returned to its rightful owner. Sheng Ran stuffed this seemingly insignificant piece of cloth into Huai Jun's palm.
He unfolded it and looked at it. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, his heart beat violently, and something took root in the softest part of his heart.
During the few days that Huaijun spent with Sheng Ran, he witnessed with his own eyes how busy and concerned she was.
He didn't expect that he could really find his heart-protecting scales back. Huai Jun seemed to feel that these two things that fell from his heart were given new and more important meanings by Sheng Ran.
He couldn't help but look up and look seriously at this female who was so good that he couldn't believe it.
"Thank you... my wife."
Huaijun paused for a moment, and finally followed his heart and completed the last two words.
But he spoke very quietly.
"Little Prince, be careful with your words." Pei Xiaoxing corrected dissatisfiedly, "She is your ex-wife. Now, you can just call her Miss Sheng."
Miss Sheng...
So unfamiliar.
He used to find it difficult to say the word "wife master", but now he feels that it is this strange and distant name that is really hard to say.
It seemed that once he opened his mouth, the connection between the two of them would be completely severed and could never be restored.
Zhu Bajie, the owner of Shangshifang, took care of the remaining matters and just happened to come over to the few people.
"What did you say your wife's surname was?" He touched his round head and smiled at Sheng Ran with a simple and honest look. "I have been calling you a dumb girl before. It's really rude."
The cooperation had been agreed upon, and there would be many opportunities to meet in the future. Zhu Bajie introduced himself seriously, "The matter of Zuixianlou has come to an end, let's get to know each other again. My last name is Zhu, and my given name is Bajie. May I ask how the young lady and the two here are...?"
Pei Xiaoxing raised the corners of his lips and smiled faintly, "My wife's surname is Sheng, so Boss Zhu can also call her Miss Sheng."
"We're not worth mentioning. You can call me Pei Lang. The talkative blond orc is Ling Shi. That bird dressed in black all day doesn't even have a name, just call him Raven. As for him, he's no longer my wife's beast husband, and we probably won't have the chance to meet again."
Huaijun frowned unhappily when he was introduced like this, but didn't say anything.
This was the truth, he couldn't argue with it.
After listening to Pei Xiaoxing's words, even if Zhu Bajie was a pig, he could clearly see that they attached great importance to privacy and were unwilling to disclose too much personal information.
Although he felt it was strange, he didn't force it. He nodded awkwardly and muttered to himself, "Sheng is an extremely rare surname in the north... but I always feel like I heard somewhere a while ago that the Saint Female of Central City also has the surname Sheng, right?"
Sheng Ran's breathing stopped. She didn't expect that such vague information could still make Zhu Bajie think of Central City.
She was a little annoyed and was worrying about how to change the subject when she saw a raven suddenly fly over from a distance on the strong wind and speak a sentence at a very fast speed.
"Master, hurry to the north of the city! Ling Rui and Tu Shanyi are fighting!"
Sheng Ran's heart skipped a beat. Damn, how could she suddenly forget about this?
Why did Ling Rui really fight with Tu Shanyi? When will he be able to stop worrying?
Pei Xiaoxing didn't understand for a moment, "Tu Shanyi? You mean-"
"Yes, that slutty fox who wanted to climb into her master's bed on the first day of her marriage. She suddenly appeared again out of nowhere!"
"Hurry! Let's go to the north of the city!"
