Wow, my husband werewolf

Four: The Disciple

The man rolling on the ground, upon hearing Old Lady Hu's stern rebuke, nonchalantly raised his head to look at her, thinking she was still trying to drive him away. But when he fixed his gaze on Old Lady Hu's expression, as if he had recognized what identity Old Lady Hu had taken on, his whole body suddenly started trembling. He quickly got up from the ground and knelt before Old Lady Hu, his voice full of panic: "Hu... Hu Er Ye, shouldn't you be cultivating in Qingshan Ancient Cave? How... how did you come here?"

"Do I need to report to you where I go? Get lost and don't disturb my peace," the beast said rudely, just like a bandit leader in a TV drama. Truly, humans have human nature, and beasts have their own temperament.

But with just one or two shouts from this beast, it was quite effective. The pig woman, seeing that Old Lady Hu couldn't overpower her and was making a scene in the house refusing to leave, now changed her tone of speech. She seemed reluctant, her lips moving as if she wanted to explain something to Old Lady Hu. But seeing Old Lady Hu's impatient expression, she knew there was no hope and gave up.

Besides, she was the one who harmed others first, so she got what she deserved. She turned around crying, and a gust of wind came out of the man's body and escaped towards the outside of the house.

With the Pig Immortal scared away, a delighted expression immediately appeared on Old Lady Hu's face. She helped the man up from the ground and told him and his wife to wait for her in the east room, as she had another matter to attend to.

Now that the man and his wife had seen Old Lady Hu's ability to drive away the Pig Immortal, they naturally listened to everything Old Lady Hu said. Then, Old Lady Hu pulled me into the west room where I had slept with that beast the night before, telling me she was going to fetch some tea to honor Hu Er Ye. After saying that, she lifted the curtain and went out.

The man from last night got off Old Lady Hu, his posture straight and his face displeased, bending over and rummaging around on the kang bed as if he was looking for something.

If I guessed correctly, this beast was in a bad mood this morning, probably looking for his lost gold chain. Maybe because I never really saw him as a person, when I saw him half-kneeling on the kang bed, rummaging around with an unhappy expression, imagining a wolf with a human appearance, I couldn't help but snicker.

Hearing me snicker, the man must have noticed his own loss of composure, so he quickly straightened up and stood in front of me, a head taller than me. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Did you see a longevity lock last night?"

The longevity lock he had lost was in my bag. Seeing how anxious he was, it must be something important. But I just shook my head at him and said, "I didn't see it."

The man became suspicious again, scrutinizing me up and down a few times, and said discontentedly, "What a loss. I slept with you, and now my lock is gone. You just wait and see. Whatever the lock is worth, I'll sleep with you that many times until it's paid off."

Born a beast, did he think he was visiting a brothel? Last night, he didn't know what it meant to cherish fragility or tenderness. Perhaps he never intended to be gentle and considerate, causing me to still be in pain now.

Who would want to be constantly humiliated by a wolf? I was considering whether or not to return the chain I had found to him. But then, Old Lady Hu came in with tea, and seeing that beast, she cheerfully called out, "Feng Lou, come have some tea. I've also prepared some fine tobacco for you, as a token of my respect."

Feng Lou?

Wolves are surnamed Hu, so could this man's name be Hu Feng Lou?

The name is elegant, but his temperament is crude. Yet he has a handsome face with fair skin. Life is truly unfair.

It seemed that Hu Feng Lou had also resigned himself to the fact that his longevity lock was not coming back. His mood calmed down a bit, but he was still a little gloomy. He sat cross-legged beside the kang table, and Old Lady Hu placed the tea and a pack of golden tobacco on the table. She then picked up a slender jade mouthpiece and handed it to Hu Feng Lou.

Hu Feng Lou glanced at the mouthpiece Old Lady Hu handed him, not immediately accepting it, seemingly torn between wanting to smoke and not wanting to. He then extended a few well-maintained, fair, and slender fingers to take the mouthpiece

from Old Lady Hu, casually holding it with just a few fingers. The slender brown mouthpiece made his hand look even more refined and delicate.

True to his form as a wolf transformed into a human, his appearance was simply not on the same level as ours.

Seeing that Hu Feng Lou had accepted her mouthpiece, Old Lady Hu quickly filled his pipe with tobacco, lit it for him, and said, "Er Ye, you've been cultivating in the ancient cave for a thousand years. Haven't you ever thought of finding a disciple in the human world to help you complete good deeds and achieve enlightenment early, so you can ascend to immortality?"

Hu Feng Lou, who had killed my entire family, still had the chance to attain enlightenment and ascend? I felt somewhat resentful inside. How could I face my deceased parents and grandparents if I helped Hu Feng Lou achieve enlightenment?

Hu Feng Lou took a puff of smoke, and a wispy white smoke rose from his face. The rising sun outside the window shone through, illuminating his face covered in a light haze of smoke, making his skin look translucent and fair.

With just one puff of smoke, he seemed more divine than a living immortal. Hu Feng Lou's frustration dissipated, and he said to Old Lady Hu, "It all depends on fate. I have no karmic connection with those mundane mortals. There must be an opportunity."

"Who says there's no fate? Who says there's no opportunity? Haven't the heavens already arranged it all? Here it is," Old Lady Hu turned her head to look at me.

When I saw the look in Old Lady Hu's eyes, I immediately felt that something was wrong. I hurriedly said to Old Lady Hu, "Grandma, don't trick me. I've always regarded you as my lifesaver. You can't betray your own conscience!"

When Hu Feng Lou heard Old Lady Hu mention me, he also raised his eyes to look at me, scanning me up and down as if trying to see through me, and replied to Old Lady Hu, "Last night, I was thinking about how to deal with her. But she was quite comfortable to play with, making me reluctant to kill her so soon. Now that you, old woman, remind me, it seems to make sense. Old Han set fire to kill my family, and I killed Old Han's family. Now only she and I are left. This is fate. She atones for her grandfather's sins, and I atone for my own. It's killing two birds with one stone."

What does he mean by killing two birds with one stone? Why should I pay for the mistakes my grandfather made? And this beast has already killed my entire family, what more does he want?

"Er Ye, you're right. I know you still hold a grudge against Han Xiu. If you really take Han Xiu as your disciple, it will be good for her in this life, and you can also benefit the people. If you attain enlightenment in the future, please remember to support this old woman."

Old Lady Hu's flattery was almost unbearable to listen to. Hu Feng Lou had said that as long as I married him, he wouldn't kill me. Now why is he going back on his word?

I was so angry with this beast and Old Lady Hu that I couldn't say a word. I simply turned around and walked out, not wanting to get entangled with them any further. If this were ancient times, the vendetta of exterminating a family would be greater than the heavens. If I helped Hu Feng Lou achieve enlightenment, how could I face my deceased family members?

Old Lady Hu chased after me from behind. After I walked far from Old Lady Hu's house, she hurriedly called out to me and scolded, "You're really foolish. Do you really think Hu Feng Lou will let you go just because you marry him? He's just looking for a better way to take revenge on you, making you suffer as much as your family did. You have no interest in him, so why would he let you go with his malicious nature? I'm saving you, not harming you. I could have dealt with that Pig Immortal. I'm providing an opportunity for both of you. Your family is dead, but you need to live. Only by living can you do what you want to do."

"What do I want to do?" I don't even know what I want to do myself.

But at that moment, Old Lady Hu didn't give me a clear answer. She only replied, "You'll understand in the future. If you become Hu Feng Lou's disciple, the benefits to you will outweigh what he gains. I saved you when you were three years old, and I have no reason to harm you now. If you trust this old woman once more, come back with me. I'll pass on the secret techniques of the disciple's initiation to you. After that, you'll be a disciple, renouncing

crooked paths and bringing blessings to the people!"
