Accidentally Married A Fox God - The sovereign lord spoils his wife
Chapter 21 Drain you dry

"I-it’s quite alright really, I’m not fit to be a concubine.." Li Meirong stammered a response embarrassingly, he was too close for comfort.

The man ignored her response as it was of no importance to him.

The Jiangshi master’s muscular and long limbs traced the air around Li Meirong’s face, as if touching a halo surrounding her.

"You have an aura about you, it’s almost unheard of, certainly not human.."

He gazed back into her doe like eyes. Her eyelashes fluttered gently.

"I’m definitely human." Li Meirong assured him, trying to make sure he wouldn’t take fancy to her, she doesn’t want to be his property.

"You are, you definitely are, but there is something about you. I assume all the surrounding beasts saw you and hid away from view." He chuckled and grasped a few unruly strands of her hair by the side of her cheek.

"Please don’t touch me." Li Meirong’s eyes turned to crescent moons as she smiled and cringed a response.

"Soon you will beg for my touch." After all, he will only give her an option between raising his powers by topping her lithe body, or draining her dry of blood.

"...." Li Meirong wanted to cry, but in her shock no tears came out, a dozen thoughts circled in her head regarding what he could have possibly meant, and none of them were good.

Can’t afford to offend this person, if his weapon would have flown slightly lower, he would have sliced my neck!

Though his previous words did linger in her mind. So the reason nothing showed in their path is because of her?

And then...

When she separated from her companions, that was the time they were attacked.

Li Meirong’s eyes widened in realization and her mouth opened up in in "O" shape. The Jiangshi master liked that silly expression.

Maybe he won’t drain her blood dry just yet.

"Li Meirong." The Jiangshi master voiced her name out loud.

He liked the way it sounded.

His voice was low and made her feel like a tongue just licked her spine, she was repulsed.

"Since we mean no harm to each other, let’s part ways peacefully!" Li Meirong was the perfect example of a proper subordinate, she backed away a few steps, and bowed down respectfully. Ready to rush away at any given moment.

"Haha, who said I mean you no harm? I was going to kill you on the spot, but you are rather interesting. I think I’ll keep you as a pet and drain you of blood bit by bit." The Jiangshi master thought of a new plan, teleporting once again in the blink of an eye to Li Meirong’s side and grasping her thin waist tightly in his hands.

She was young and frail, and quite easy to handle, her soft skin squished easily under his palm.

Li Meirong screamed to the top of her lungs, remembering the signal stone each disciple was given to use in a life and death situation, she quickly grabbed the stone from her sleeve and reached for her bleeding ear. To hell with this test, she’s not going to be this guy’s dinner!

The Jiangshi master quickly caught onto the signal stone she held and right before she had the opportunity to splash her blood on it, he flung it away to the side.

"It will not be so easy to deal with me, stupid girl!" He clamped his hand on her mouth to cease her ear piercing shouts.

It was right at the moment when the Jiangshi master was about to teleport with his new loot that Li Meirong’s old threat came by, the carnivorous pitcher plant.

The plant stood tall and mighty in front of them both, its vines reaching high into the air, if it had eyes, Li Meirong would have imagined a look of determination would have shown on its watermelon colored figure.

Her day must be a whole day filled with surprises because what came next, she wouldn’t have imagined in a thousand lifetimes.

Instead of having to face both of these enemies..One dealt with the other.

The first bane of her existence this day leaped up in a wondrous feat, using his vines as a stepping stone to cover the great distance between them as it positioned its large gaping plant mouth straight towards the Jiangshi master.

It was so unexpected that the Jiangshi master didn’t even have time to teleport, his hands forcibly removed from Li Meirong’s waist and mouth as he got swallowed whole by the man eating plant.

"...."

The killer plant just saved me.
