A Little Monster With A Wife Is Amazing – CH68

Chapter 68: The Bloody Butcher’s Adorable Wife

Jian Tang, of course, also saw the lively discussions taking place on the forum.
Everyone loved a good piece of gossip, and he was no exception.

Jian Tang scrolled through several threads and found that the focus of everyone’s discussion was entirely on whether the news of the marriage was true, and who exactly that marriage partner was.

[The Bloody Butcher said he was retiring before, and I thought it was fake news. I can’t believe it’s actually true???]

[Hahaha, over on the task taker forum, everyone is saying that the Grind King truly lives up to his name. Even his speed in falling in love, getting married, and starting a family is incredibly efficient. Plus, I heard the Butcher’s wife is super cute, and the two of them have an amazing relationship. A whole pack of single dogs are crying from jealousy ?v?]

[A rumor, it has to be a rumor!! On what grounds does a brutal Arch-Demon like him manage to find a super good, cute wife so quickly? I don’t even have a wife yet QAQ!!]

[It might not have been a normal pursuit; maybe he forcibly tied them up and brought them back? [dog_head.jpg] Once you’re targeted by the Bloody Butcher, count them one by one, no one can escape [dog_head.jpg]]

[So who exactly is this ultra-powerful warrior? Is it a task taker? It feels like the currently somewhat famous task takers don’t belong to the ‘cute’ category at all. Could it be a total nobody?]

[It’s definitely not a task taker, otherwise why would the Bloody Butcher retire? It must be an ordinary human from the outside world, which is why he needed to retire and run off to the real world to chase a wife.]

[Be bolder. Could it be possible that it’s one of our monster compatriots? A brutal and terrifying Butcher Lord paired with a cute and lovely anomalous monster—enemies to lovers, how thrilling! More, give me more!]

[The person above me, shut up, okay! Stop adding more horror material! A demon with no humanity like him would only kill our anomalous monsters on sight, not love them. He’d even clean out your entire house while he’s at it. It’s a complete nightmare!]

[Stop arguing, stop arguing. No matter who the other person is, I bet 100 points that they definitely don’t know the Bloody Butcher’s real identity. Once they find out, this marriage is 100% off. Just tell me if you believe it or not!]

[Hahaha I believe it, I believe it! I want to see the cute wife run away from the wedding on the spot after the identity is exposed, and the Bloody Butcher go completely insane on the spot! Just thinking about it makes me happy! [jie_jie_jie.jpg]]

Everyone was discussing it with immense fervor. Jian Tang read through a circle of it and exited the forum despondently.

If it were in the past, running into such a highly trending piece of gossip discussed by the entire populace, he would have jumped in regardless to leave a comment or troll around. But with this particular piece of gossip, the more he read it, the more he felt his PTSD acting up—

The moment he saw a screen full of “Bloody Butcher,” he couldn’t help but start shivering violently.

How vexing— Jian Tang bit his lip in grievance—I never expected that the psychological shadow from having my tail yanked off by the Bloody Butcher last time would be so deep. Deep enough to affect my ability to enjoy gossip!

Ugh, just remembering what happened back then makes my butt start hurting again. That guy is simply too terrifying.

Jian Tang slumped limply against his office chair, staring blankly at the sky outside.

However, if the news about the marriage was true, it was actually good news for him.

The other party was busy getting married, so he had definitely long forgotten about what happened back then and wouldn’t come back to this dimension anymore, right? He was perfectly safe.

Then again, he couldn’t help but wonder which brave warrior actually dared to become the Bloody Butcher’s wife—sleeping next to an Arch-Demon like that, wouldn’t they truly have nightmares?

Jian Tang couldn’t help but compare it to himself: these past few nights sleeping next to Feng Xun, he had slept wonderfully well.

The other party’s body temperature was very warm, and the arms embracing him were very powerful, giving him an immense sense of security.

Heehee, if I had known sleeping together would be this comfortable, I really should have slept with my wife much sooner.

His wife had even told him that after the two of them officially got married, they could try out many more new ways of sleeping, which would make him sleep even sounder, sweeter, and more comfortably. Just thinking about it filled him with anticipation~

Cradling his face, Jian Tang smiled sweetly, suddenly not feeling so afraid anymore. He even felt a little smug.

Hmph, so what if you’re the Bloody Butcher? You’re very good at fighting, but is your wife as good as my wife?

My wife is the absolute best in the entire world! [hands_on_hips.jpg]

The phone on his desk suddenly vibrated, popping up a new message.

In the [Let’s Find the Flaws Together] group chat, the Realm Lords surfaced.

Fila: [@Little Jellybean Did that fellow come to the company today?]

“That fellow” referred to CEO Feng.

Ever since he found out Feng Xun was a task taker, based on all the various clues from before, “Feng Xun = CEO Feng” was basically ironclad. Therefore, facing the Realm Lords’ inquiry, Jian Tang suddenly felt like he had become a double agent.

…He felt a bit guilty.

Little Jellybean: [No, he didn’t.]

In reality, the other party came every single day—coming downstairs to the company to drop him off before driving away.

Hiramis: [Damn it, this guy is skipping work again! =?=!]

Actually, the three Realm Lords had long tacitly accepted the Bloody Butcher’s “working state” of fishing for three days and drying the nets for two. After all, what could they do if they didn’t accept it? Pick a fight with him?

The reason they brought up the old matter today with such indignation was mainly because they were also enjoying the gossip—

Holy crap, the Bloody Butcher actually has a partner?

Holy crap, the other party has already started preparing for the wedding??

Holy crap, they actually only just found out about such a major piece of intelligence???

Agne: [Did he always come to the company alone before?]

Hiramis: [Did he bring his wife along with him??]

Fila: [Who on earth is his wife???]

The three Realm Lords’ intense desire for gossip practically overflowed from the screen, and the triple questions directly stumped Jian Tang.

Uh… he didn’t bring his wife, because ‘his wife’ is currently working inside the company. Does this count as him coming alone or not coming alone?

Just as Jian Tang was hesitating over how to reply, the company group chat on his computer suddenly began to flood with messages wildly.

[Thank you, CEO Feng!! CEO Feng is magnificent!!!]

[Happy engagement!! A harmonious union lasting a hundred years!!]

[Wishing CEO Feng and his lady a long, long time together! Perfectly harmonious and beautiful!!]

[When the official wedding takes place, we will definitely go support you!! Wishing you two an early marriage and an early birth of a precious child!!!]

Jian Tang: “?”

The three Realm Lords: “???”

The door to Jian Tang’s office was suddenly knocked on, and Sister Xia from the administrative department walked in with a radiant face, cradling a massive, gleaming golden bouquet. Jian Tang focused his gaze and saw that this bouquet was actually crafted out of chocolates and candy spheres. Placed right in the center of the “bouquet” was a large red envelope.

“CEO Feng said his proposal was successful, so he’s distributing some joyful energy to everyone. There’s a share for every person! Sharing the joy, sharing the joy!”

Jian Tang: “…”

It was clearly me who brought up marriage first, how did it turn into him succeeding in his proposal!

Sister Xia set down the bouquet and continued on to deliver CEO Feng’s happy news to the other colleagues. Jian Tang picked up the large red envelope bearing his name from the bouquet and discovered that tucked inside the candy bouquet, hidden by the red envelope, was actually a small box.

He opened the small box. Inside was a silver ring, with a small hand-written card beside it.

—[Engagement Ring. To: Little Tang]

Wow, he’s really not dropping any pretenses anymore. Although Feng Xun presumably still didn’t know that he already knew his identity as “CEO Feng,” there was no need to go to such lengths, insisting on making sure he knew it in such a high-profile manner, right?

The three Realm Lords in the chat were still demanding to know urgently what the company group chat messages meant. Jian Tang went out to the work area, snapped a photo of the red envelopes and bouquets his colleagues had received, and transmitted it to the Realm Lords to see.

The chat instantly fell silent.

Because the three Realm Lords had migrated over to their private small group chat, activating their frantic trolling mode.

Hiramis: [Heh, it’s just getting married, yet he makes it look like a peacock spreading its tail. Would he drop dead if he didn’t flaunt it??]

Fila: [He did it on purpose, absolutely on purpose! He deliberately did it for us to see! Truly arrogant to the extreme!]

Agne: [Show affection, die fast. Wishing them an early breakup.]

Jian Tang, of course, had no idea about the Realm Lords’ indignation. Once he had some free time, he began to properly admire his “engagement ring.”

This ring was golden, its band twisted out of extremely fine gold wire. The color wasn’t a flamboyant, bright yellow, but a tender pale gold filled with warmth, looking like a sliver of autumn sunshine frozen inside the band.

Jian Tang touched it and felt that the material of the ring was highly similar to the rabbit pendant. Could this also be a high-grade item Feng Xun had forged with his own hands?

It truly delivered a total sense of security.

The youth let out a soft laugh, slipping the ring onto his hand. He looked at it from the left and from the right; no matter how he looked at it, it was beautiful.

He was genuinely happy.

His wife was truly wonderful! He loved his wife so much!

Snapping a photo of his hand wearing the ring, Jian Tang sent the picture to his “Wife”—after their relationship fast-forwarded to preparing for the wedding, Jian Tang had already changed Feng Xun’s remark name back to the affectionate “Wife.”

A reply came from the other side in a split second, which was also a photo of a hand wearing a ring—the version worn on Feng Xun’s hand.

[My Sweet Candy]: Beautiful! [thumbs_up.jpg]

[Wife]: ? You’re not surprised at all?

Jian Tang blanked for a moment, then realized: this was Feng Xun talking about how he had exposed his identity as “CEO Feng,” yet he didn’t find it unexpected.

[My Sweet Candy]: You left entirely too many flaws. When I found out my exam questions were different from the other colleagues’, I was already suspecting you.

[Wife]: Truly smart. [thumbs_up.jpg]

Thinking about the three Realm Lords’ dissatisfaction toward “CEO Feng,” Jian Tang decided to tactfully drop a hint to the other party.

[My Sweet Candy]: Did you open this company together with the other three Vice CEOs?

[Wife]: I opened it. They only hold a minor portion of the shares.

Jian Tang: “?”

Isn’t that backward? Aren’t you the lucky agent chosen by the Realm Lords because of your good luck?

At your core, you’re actually just like me—we’re both workers for the bosses. How could your investment ratio exceed the Realm Lord majority shareholders?

[My Sweet Candy]: You rarely come to the company. Aren’t you afraid they’ll be dissatisfied and propose to divest?

[Wife]: It’ll be even better if they divest. They aren’t anything good anyway; it’ll be more peaceful once they’re gone.

Jian Tang: “…”

Here it comes, here it comes—the familiar segment of a worker venting about the bosses. It’s exactly this flavor!

However, Jian Tang was quite satisfied with these three Realm Lord big bosses. The salary they gave was highly substantial, and aside from needing to report the internal situation of the company every day, they didn’t pry into any other matters. Thus, he faintly spoke up to say a few nice words for the three big shots.

[My Sweet Candy]: I think… they’re actually not bad.

[Wife]: Where are they not bad?

[My Sweet Candy]: Usually their presence is very low, but whenever you hand out benefits, they can follow up every single time, and they’re also very generous. Everyone likes these three Vice CEOs a lot.

Feng Xun: “…”

No wonder every time I set up a private kitchen to distribute perks, those three copycats would follow suit. It turns out they were winning over people’s hearts.

What the other employees thought, Feng Xun was too lazy to care. But winning over hearts to the point of reaching his own wife, he was definitely not going to be pleased about it.

[Wife]: Don’t be fooled by their hypocritical facades.

[Wife]: Their schemes run incredibly deep. You probably don’t know it yet, but they have planted an undercover spy within the company, currently monitoring your every move. It’s extremely insidious.
