Chapter 153 - Hen-Pecked Husband

Li Moyun knew Bai Royun very well, and from her voice, he could tell that she was not actually upset. Thus he could guess that this attitude had something to do with the Undying Sword Sect’s behaviour towards him.

He, too, felt somewhat helpless. He had never asked for the attention of the opposite gender; the only one he wanted special attention from was her, but due to his high rank, his reputation, and his domineering attitude, women would flock to his side, not caring for what his personality was like.

"Dearest, please don’t blame your husband," he said, guessing her wish of letting the world know that they were a couple. His eyes, which could be seen underneath the mask, were full of tenderness as he glanced at her, and the women from the Undying Sword Sect were even more eager to become his concubines, thinking that although he had so much power, he was capable of showing such gentle feelings to a woman.

Some of the men respected Li Moyun due to his strength, and they could not help but raise an eyebrow in surprise. While the women felt that it was romantic, some of them could not help but feel a bit of disdain. What kind of powerful man would be so hen-pecked by his wife that he would let her admonish him in front of others?

Not to mention, this man was the Eternal Shadow Lord. In this world, having just one wife was extremely rare. The more powerful one was, the more concubines and wives one would take.

This woman, who was wearing a black cloak, seemed to feel aggravated that her husband was attracting attention from other women. Such a person would never be popular as it might lead to infighting within their family.

Little did these people know that Bai Rouyun and Li Moyun were not ordinary people. When they had given their hearts to someone, they would not change their opinions, and neither would they be unfaithful.

"My dear, your mask is too pretty. Why don’t we go find the ugliest mask we can come across, and change it to that?" Bai Rouyun was aware that she was being petty now, but she was somewhat disgruntled by the glances that these women were sending towards her man.

If they had merely appreciated his strength and appearance, she would not mind, but the greed within their eyes could not be unseen. She was not happy to know that others were considering how to steal him from her.

"If my wife wants me to use another mask, then let us find another mask," Li Moyun said indulgently as he looked at Bai Rouyun.

Seeing that he agreed to every word she said, Bai Rouyun’s lips curled into a satisfied smile, and her eyes turned to crescent moons. However, none of them noticed her change in expression.

Even so, Li Moyun could feel her aura softening, and a helpless smile appeared on his lips. Although he had intentionally allowed Bai Rouyun to show how important she was to him, this was not an act. She was, in fact, his most adored person, and for her, he would do anything. So what did it matter if he was a hen-pecked husband?

Bai Rouyun did not know of Li Moyun’s thoughts, but she would just laugh it off even if she did. Although she was unwilling to become a person who would be protected by him at every corner, she was equally unwilling to decide his life for him.

They were two individual people, and while they wanted to live their lives together, she did not require Li Moyun to change his views and opinions to suit her.

"Excuse me!" One of the more aggressive women from the Undying Sword Sect had her eyes glued to Li Moyun, her expression appeared to be swallowing him whole, but she herself was confident that she looked attractive and sexy.

Li Moyun glanced at her before his brows furrowed. However, since his face was hidden beneath the mask, no one was able to notice this small change apart from Bai Rouyun.

She did not see his change in expression, but she felt the aura around him turning colder, and the arm around her waist, tightening the grip.

Bai Rouyun shook her head. She had expected the Undying Sword Sect to arrive after then in the tent, but she had also assumed that they would be far too lofty to pay the two of them any attention.

She had forgotten that Li Moyun was not just anyone, but a man who would not be controlled by his body. And even if he was, this woman could not cause any attraction from him. He had high standards afterall.

"Little miss," the ethereal and soft voice of Bai Rouyun could be heard in the tent as she decided to speak up.

"The previous conversation should already have made it clear that this man is my husband. Please don’t be so cheap as to try and seduce a married man."

The woman who had spoken up froze in her place. Her expression turned awkward, and her face alternated between red and purple, while her hands clutched the sleeves of her robe tightly.

Every member of the Undying Sword Sect stared at the cloak-covered Bai Rouyun in shock. How was she able to say such words to a member of their sect?

Even if the young woman had somewhat thrown away the face of their sect by attempting to chat up the Eternal Shadow Lord in public, they did not think too much about it.

However, now that this woman had pointed out her shameless behavior, they all felt as if they had been slapped in their faces. The double standard was extreme with these sect disciples.
