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

Chapter 82 Didnt Mean To Offend You

Having a soft spot for the beasts displayed in chains, Li Meirong chose to avoid those kinds of shops. More often than not, the spirits were purchased only for their cores and rarely because someone took interest in raising them.

Being part of the Bestiary division doesn’t mean one necessarily gets along better with spiritual entities or demonic beings. Their studies leaned towards their usage, whether as mounts, reliable fighting companions or the necessary components of different creatures’ organs that are required for alchemical purposes.

The Bestiary division should have been called "The study and exploitation of mystical beings," at least according to Li Meirong’s thoughts on the matter.

Noticing the way the seller’s eyes leered at Snowball, she used her arms to cover his silver fur from his view.

With a slight bow, Li Meirong kept a pleasant tone as she said, "Is there anything you require of me, fellow senior brother?"

The older senior chuckled heartily and beckoned Li Meirong into the shop, seemingly oblivious to her discomfort.

"Come inside! I have something to show you that will definitely arouse your interest!" The shopkeeper proclaimed enthusiastically.

"I really don’t think-" As Li Meirong was about to reject her request, he cut off her sentence,

"Just a moment. You will not regret it! Hahaha."

Giving in to his demands, Li Meirong sighed and walked into the shop with Snowball in her arms.

The small looking shop turned out to be far bigger the moment one was inside of it. Spirits bound in chains and cages were categorized in different locations according to their types and grades. For some of them, there was even a sign placed in front, describing their attributes, origins and personalities.

A whining bark of a canine cub could be heard from a distance.

Li Meirong was ushered into a deeper part of the shop and already recognized the all too familiar sound of squealing foxes before she had the chance to even see them.

Sure enough, the seller brought her to a cage covered in talismans, containing not one but a whole family of foxes. Caged inside was a three-tailed Fox Demoness with four cubs lying down in front of her slightly swollen belly, breastfeeding.

"Well? What do you think?! It wasn’t easy to catch these sneaky demons. In fact, it took days of stakeout until there was an opportune moment to capture the mother. My hunters weren’t aware at that time but we ended with not only one, but a whole litter! They were sold on the first day of their display. Now, I am only waiting for them to finish their weaning period. I gathered that a Fox Demon owner would know just how valuable these little critters are!"

During the whole speech, the shopkeeper spoke with such pride that in his bout of arrogance, he failed to see Li Meirong’s expression was turning all the more horrified as he continued speaking.

Squeezing Snowball in reassurance, Li Meirong’s brow knitted as she adamantly said, "There has been some misunderstanding between us. I have no appreciation for this and it’s best that I’ll be on my way."

She didn’t linger a second longer and made her way towards the door, leaving the man bewildered, staring at her slender, departing back.

As he saw his plan was instantaneously ruined, the shop owner nervously rushed in front of Li Meirong, blocking her exit.

Bai Qingyue sneered, his gleaming teeth flashed threateningly.

Li Meirong raised her voice and sharply said, "Fellow senior brother, please don’t block my path or else I will have no choice but to be discourteous with you!" A blue flame aura shimmered on the surface of her milk-white skin, emphasizing her threat.

Li Meirong considered herself a patient woman. She always tries to be reasonable and solve a situation calmly but every person would eventually reach their breaking point. After going through hell and back today, she had zero tolerance for nonsense!

Jumping to conclusions, she wondered what the shopkeeper planned to do. Did he think she would sell little Snowball?!

Luckily, the shop was empty from other customers or else the confrontation could have escalated...

Several spirits and demons bounced back from their lifeless disposition after witnessing their jailer being cornered by someone more formidable than himself.

Beholding the massive power emanating from the girl that was far greater than his own, the shop owner cowered in fright!

He waved his hands left and right, hoping to assuage Li Meirong as he pitifully said, "It’s a misunderstanding! I didn’t mean to offend you! I r-regret offending this great aunt! After seeing your Fox Demon’s striking coat, I only wished to offer a breeding program for him after he reaches adulthood with the Fox Demoness I captured!"

The shopkeeper’s shoulders trembled as he explained the reason behind his invitation.

Bai Qingyue wasn’t certain of it before, but after the insults he uttered, the Fox God’s decision was set in stone. This man will suffer!

Yet before he had the opportunity to strike, Li Meirong was one step ahead of him.

Perhaps it was her first experience in this world of being sold as a sex slave that left a mark in her heart that she won’t forget anytime soon that caused his words to only further aggravate her.

Her eyes glowed like glass beads as she glared at the shopkeeper, "You want me to forcibly breed my precious baby just so you could sell the cubs like some....like some products?!"

The shopkeeper really wanted to cry now. He desperately wished he could go back in time and never invite this insane woman into his shop!

Wasn’t it common to breed demons together? What was wrong with his offer? He only wanted the two of them to profit from this deal!

Li Meirong closed her eyes in concentration, focusing her qi to flow out of her body in order to reach all the locks and burn the talismans in the shop. Sweat formed on her forehead as she concentrated on shoving her spiritual essence into the iron binds in hopes of unlocking the chains and cages. It didn’t work.

When he saw the blue flames trailing around his shop like some form of controlled mist, the shopkeeper stammered in alarm, "W-what do you think you’re doing?!"

Snowball’s silver fur bristled in preparation to leap and attack at any moment should the mortal decide to make a move while Li Meirong was focused on controlling her internal energy.

"Ugh!" Li Meirong uttered in exasperation as her idea failed. Instead, she changed her strategy and went for the more aggressive approach, using her qi to strike at the locks, breaking them directly from their source.

Bai Qingyue’s eyes shined with immense pride.

After all, this awe-striking woman was his wife!
