343: Corpse breath

Corpse breath

Mo Qiang followed Yin Fu to the house. She did not know what he was trying to do by calling her alone but she remained vigilant till the end, she couldn't drop her guard lest he did something to her where would she go?  0

Would she even get a chance to reincarnate again? 

Xiao Jiao who could sense Mo Qiang's worries did not know what to say, she was speechless but she had been speechless so many times because of the dynamics of this husband and wife pair that Xiao Jiao thought that if she allowed Mo Qiang and Yin Fu to drive her into speechlessness again, then she was the one who was a fool. 

"Qi Qi, I don't have a lot of time to prepare for your trip but I did get you this," Yin Fu took out a large box that was filled with blue balls. They were so beautiful that they shimmered under light attracting the attention of Mo Qiang and Xiao Jiao. " I had to pay in advance for these but the place where you are going is full of dangers. You should keep them with you lest you don't leave yourself a way out." 

Mo Qiang looked at the beautiful balls and did not know how they might come into use at the time of danger. How can something so pretty be used in a time of danger? Should they not be kept at home and be used to decorate the Christmas tree or something of the sort? 

She raised her head and looked at Yin Fu before asking, " What are these ?" 

" These?" Yin Fu smiled calmly as he looked down at the box of blue balls. This was something that he bought after discussing long and hard with his brothers online, his brothers mentioned that women liked gentle but useful mers. However, Yin Fu did not know how to be useful to his wife. 

He was a law student but he couldn't wish that his wife ended up getting entangled in some mess such that he would be able to showcase his usefulness, could he? 

And he was not a good cook either, there might be chefs who could create something out of nothing but he wasn't that skilled.

However, there was one thing he was very skilled at—— creating weapons. Even his mother had to bow down in front of him when it came to his weapon-creating skills. 

So he made use of these skills, he was sure that as long as his wife saw how skilled he was in weapon making she would realize that she was not short-changed! 

Even his brothers agreed with him. 

" These are called Corpse Breath," Yin Fu explained with a smug look on his face. " I spent a lot of time making these ever since I found out that you were going to another hunt. I was worried that you would meet another monster like the turtle tuber was I thought of making something that would help you greatly. If you ever run into trouble similar to the last time, all you need to do is to throw a ball of Corpse Breath at your opponent." 

As he spoke he pushed the box towards Mo Qiang who took it instinctively, she was also charmed by the beautiful colour and couldn't help but ask, " Will these freeze my opponents or something?" 

The name Corpse Breath did sound like it would release cold air or something upon being thrown on the ground. 

" Oh no," Yin Fu covered his cheek as he shook his head and explained, " This is not something so simple. If you throw these balls at your opponents, no matter whether human or monster—— they will dry up in an instant. All the moisture and water will be sucked out of their bodies before they slowly wither away like a corpse." 

Mo Qiang almost dropped the Corpse Breath balls, seeing this Xiao Jiao immediately went to help her steady her hands. If these glass balls dropped to the ground they will all become mummies within seconds! Who could allow that to happen? 

" Wh..What?" Mo Qiang was jolted awake by Yin Fu's words, was this man serious? How could he say something so dangerous and scary so seriously? 

Seeing that Mo Qiang was swept off her feet by his words, Yin Fu smirked inwardly before lowering his head. He then pitifully spoke, " You see, even though I am your official husband there is nothing I can do. I don't have a maternal family nor do I have a degree that could help you, I don't even have any money." 

His brothers told him that a mer who preserved despite being clumsy and unskilled was well-liked by women. The same could be said about all the dramas that he had seen, didn't the female lead fall in love with the shy yet unskilled mer lead instead of following the scheming mer? 

He needed to put forth an innocent persona while acting like he was doing his best to help Mo Qian. 

Something like this was popular with the women of the Imperial Star as the ratings of all those dramas were really high. Then doesn't it mean that it might work on Mo Qiang as well? 

More importantly, he needed to apologize along with subtly reminding Mo Qiang of what happened between them. 

" I … I am sorry," he sniffed delicately before raising his hand and then tugging Mo Qiang's sleeve. " I am really sorry that I am so unskilled if I was a bit better then I could have bought you a wonderful weapon which is why I had to use my skills to make up for my lack of abilities." He then paused before saying, " And I am really sorry about what happened that night…" 

" You were drunk and even though I was the one who suggested that we should get along like a real husband and wife —— I may have done something really wrong causing both of us to be troubled…" he then brought his hands up and covered his face. " I teased you and you retaliated causing us …us to do that, though you were really harsh, it was something that I deserved." 

After he was done speaking, he peeked at Mo Qiang with a wronged expression.
