Accidentally Married A Fox God - The sovereign lord spoils his wife
Chapter 44 It Wants To Eat You

While she waited for them to reach her, Li Meirong opened her pack, grabbed the flask and gulped down several mouthfuls of water. Her thirst and fatigue causing her to forego grace, she drank so fast that water was seeping out of the corners of her lips, trickling down her chin and trailing its way down her pale neck. It really was incredibly hot, even as the sun was already beginning to set.

Bai Qingyue stared hypnotized as the water droplets made their way down Li Meirong’s smooth flesh. How was it that even as she drank water so unceremoniously, she still managed to appear so enticing? His golden orbs darkened intensely as he stood on his hind legs and stretched out to touch his snout to her long, pale neck. His little pink tongue protruded and gently licked the water from her flesh.

She felt ticklish and gently pushed the little fox away to make him stop.

Realizing he must be thirsty, she took a little wooden bowl out of her pack, put it on the ground and filled it with water.

"I’m sorry, you must be so parched! Here you go." She positioned the cub in front of the bowl and gave him a little gentle pat on the head.

Bai Qingyue felt a vein on his forehead pulse with rage. He has never been treated like this before. The proud noble son of heaven, resorted to pretending he was a dumb fox, drinking from a bowl on the ground...Unheard of...

He looked back up at his future wife, glaring her seductive jade like neck, which he just licked a moment ago.

Her skin tasted so sweet, and her intoxicating scent assaulted his senses. She had an addictive fragrance to her, mixed with herbs.

Yes, there it was. Her own special scent, perfectly complemented by the smell of Jasmine and Lavender.

He looked back at the bowl of water placed at his feet.

Fine.

He will let this insult slide. he lapped the water with his tongue for a short while.

There were more important matters to focus on, like this Chou thing she spoke to, or those pesky humans that were now heading their way to disrupt his time with her.

Meanwhile, Chou unthreaded his pouch from the inside, and crossed his vines around his little chubby plant form to make his feelings known to his master. He always used that pose when he was moody, she knew.

Li Meirong grabbed the flask’s cap, filled it with a bit of water, and handed it to her grumpy spirit pet. This satisfied Chou. He grabbed the cap with his leaves, and splashed the water on himself.

Suddenly, sensing a murderous gaze filled with animosity aimed at him, his little plant body shivered involuntarily from a sudden chill in the air.

Bai Qingyue’s eyes narrowed down as he spotted the plant as it emerged from the pouch.

Oh, so this is the menace sticking to his girl, huh....The thought boiled in his mind.

It’d been many years since Bai Qingyue had eaten a vegetarian dish, but suddenly, he craved one!

Chou had no eyes, but he could sense that powerful aura quite well. It was that fox! It was going to kill his precious plant body!

Acting in frightened self preservation, Chou quickly threaded the pouch shut again to hide inside. He attempted to reason with his master again.

’I still think you should listen to me. This fox is especially dangerous! And these seniors...They’re no good, master. Chou is scared!’

"Well, at least we now agree on one thing." She, too, started getting a bad vibe from her seniors, but she did wonder what was passing through her plant’s mind, who usually seemed so fearless, and had a habit of suggesting that he feast on those he disliked. His true form was as tall as an adult tree and he was, in fact, a carnivorous man eating plant. What could possibly make him scared?

’Master is stupid!!! We are in terrible danger! Boohoohoo...’ Chou sobbed.

Li Meirong obliviously concluded; Chou was a very odd fellow. She shrugged as she placed her hand over the pouch Chou resided in and said. "Please quiet now, my seniors are approaching."

’Master, we have to escape while we still can. The fox wants to eat us and the senior’s aura is filled with malice. Not good, master.’

She considered Chou’s telepathic words. The cub was probably just hungry and wanted to eat some meat, but as for her seniors? She waited for them to come back, and hoping that they could part under amicable terms. Otherwise, Chou would be her only defense.

As she pondered this, her eyes staring focused at the ground noticed the finely crafted leather shoes of her seniors come into her field of vision.

They towered over her menacingly.

"What do you think you are doing right now?" Senior Ying Yue asked, a threatening hint in her tone.

Senior Wei stood by her side, his brows knitted in a frown.

Li Meirong lifted her gaze to stare up at them. Noticing their lack of cordial pretense, she replied, "Seniors, my body is not practiced in cultivation like yours is, I think at this point it would be best if we go our separate ways."

Ying Yue’s threatening tone was no longer a hint, her next words were spoken with pure malice,

"No. You will come with us whether you like it or not!"
