Accidentally Married A Fox God – The Sovereign Lord Spoils His Wife

Chapter 20 Jiangshi Master

Having been mounted on top of a screaming carnivorous plant without the ability to hop off, Li Meirong pounded against the wobbly flesh of the plant to no avail.

Its stinky scent disintegrated as it stopped digesting living creatures.

The plant was much stronger and bigger than her, and it made quick work of leaping in between the vines and hopping over troublesome terrain.

In fact, if it didn’t try to eat her friends a second ago, she would have probably complimented this plant. It was pretty smart!

By now Li Meirong no longer recognized her location. She wasn’t certain but she assumed it was already the morning of the second day.

The scenery didn’t change much, but she was definitely in a deeper part of the jungle. Nobody showed up around her, but she sensed more movements. At times, the feeling of someone watching her was so intense she felt her fine hairs rising up.

The plant heaved, running took its toll on this agile body of his...

She wasn’t honestly sure what it was. It was definitely not a regular plant, it ran off, felt fear, screeched in alarm..

Whatever it was, the plant settled down, Li Meirong climbed down from it and distanced herself a few feet away, making sure the plant stayed well in her field of vision.

It stood there in front of her, and its open mouth puckered and heaved..

Like it was panting.

"..." Li Meirong was speechless, but her nerves were still on high alert.

It probably ambushed her friends when they least expected it, she had to stay vigilant.

Expecting the worst from the wildlife around her, she was prepared for sneak attacks from animals or killer plants now.

"I can’t believe I have such rotten luck to deal with killer plants on my own of all things.." Li Meirong sighed depressed. She was wondering when would the opportunity occur to have a nice relaxing day.

She wanted to be strong so she could have it easy, not harder!

This is not worth it.

That was her conclusion.

However, the unexpected happened yet again for her, the feel of cold metal slicing against her flesh made her yelp in pain.

She quickly clutched her source of agony. The tip of her ear nearly got sliced off! Her fingers got coated with her blood. The assailant’s weapon was a disc shaped metal with several teeth.

Before she had an opportunity to glance back, she felt a hot breath on her ear. Strong arms pulled her hand away and a warm slippery tongue enveloped her ear, soon after, a mouth clamped shut on her wound and sucked on it harshly.

"Let go!" She looked back and pushed her assailant with the last of her strength, the attacker barely moved, but she had enough space to get away from his clutches.

She scrambled forth on all fours towards where the carnivorous plant was. With the sudden event of the attacker taking place , the plant soon disappeared.

"You look so ugly, but taste so good!" The dangerous man behind her declared, he laughed maniacally.

Li Meirong glaringly faced her opponent. He wasn’t too young nor too old looking, a young adult standing at 6"3 feet, he wore pitch black robe with a pattern of red snakes crawling on the long sleeved shirt atop his shoulders, like a crest.

His otherwise handsome young features and jade like skin were marred by the psychotic look in his eyes, and his abnormally large mouth that stretched wide across his face, revealing a pair of sharp vampiric looking fangs.

"Who are you?! What do you want from me??" Li Meirong questioned angrily at her wits end.

She moved her hand about the ground, hoping to find something to protect herself with, anything..

The assailant barked another laugh, unlike his actions, his voice was soft and even soothing.

"I am the Jiangshi master, second in command to the demonic path in all this realm, you should feel honored meeting the likes of me." He edged closer to her as he spoke. His whole being gave off a reptilian feeling, luring its prey before consuming it.

She preferred having a showdown with the pitcher plant instead!

I regret complaining about my predicament, please god of luck, help me out here!

Finding nothing to use as a weapon to protect herself with, and feeling physically drained after her escapade with the carnivorous plant, Li Meirong consented to debasing herself, again.

"I really don’t know you, mister Jiangshi master. We probably got off on the wrong foot here..Hehe...I’m Li Meirong, I’ve been placed here in the wild lands in hopes to learn to cultivate in a sect." Li Meirong responded as sweetly as possible. She stood up and dusted her backside.

When all else fails, aim for diplomacy, even against the devil.

The Jiangshi master raised his eyebrow in amusement.

It was in the blink of an eye that the Jiangshi master disappeared and once again appeared right in front of Li Meirong, he bent his back and stared at her, their noses touching.

"You’re a furnace, aren’t you? I could tell by your sweet blood.."

Li Meirong’s eyes widened in alarm. That word again..

The people in this world did not hear about personal distance!

"I wouldn’t have minded taking you in as a concubine if your face was at least presentable." The Jiangshi master explained, his expression twisted, expressing his disappointment.

Excuse me sir, I don’t want to be your concubine. I don’t want to be your anything!

Li Meirong was full of grievances, but there was no shoulder to cry on.
