In the lab, Shen Mei gawks at the mess in the laboratory. The entire hall looks like another planet to her. There are strange items on the table. Some old books with strange letters are lying around. There are arms and legs (that are supposed to be her spare parts) in the pile of random items lying in the corner. It"s the demon"s lair. Shen Mei swallows hard. The demon kidnapped her and brought her to his world. But the demon isn"t bad. He healed her and fixed her body.
Shen Mei looks down. She"s stark naked. Did the demon leave without giving her clothes? Should she wait for him in this state? But it"s not comfortable like this.
After spending a minute thinking about whether she should wear clothes or not, she decides that she should wear some clothes and look for the demon. Where did her demon husband go?
In the pile of random objects, she finds some rags. Shen Mei wears the black s.h.i.+rt and ties a piece of clothing around her waist. There aren���t any robes here. She has to make do with what she finds.
Now, she must find the demon. She"s his wife now. It doesn"t matter whether he"s a demon or a human. From now on, he"s her beloved. Shen Mei squeals. Her demon husband is good looking. What else does she need? He"s also a magician.
"Mother, not all demonic magicians are bad," Shen Mei mutters to herself as she walks out of the laboratory quickly. The doors are also magical. They open on their own. He must have cast spells on them. Her demon husband is amazing.
Her body feels so good after a long time. She doesn"t feel weak at all. Her legs are stronger. Shen Mei quickens her steps, excited to see her demon. She wants to thank him, and then, she wants to serve him as his wife. Her lord, where is he?
When she manages to come out of his room, she finds herself witnessing a very strange scene. Her demon husband is being kissed by another man.
What is this blasphemy? Shen Mei had heard gossips that there were men who liked men, but it was spoken in a hushed tone.
Why is it her husband? She shakes her head. The man who is being kissed is her demon. She runs in their direction and grabs that man"s shoulder. "Don"t kiss my husband!"

A sudden force pulls Noah from Kai, tossing him on the ground. Noah, still shocked, looks up at the creature who smells neither like a human nor a vampire. He glances at Kai who seems like he"s going to throw up. The woman stands in front of Kai, s.h.i.+elding Kai from his gaze.
Who is this woman and where did she come from?
"Who are you?" Noah shouts at the woman. "Do you know where you are?"
"Are you his concubine?" The woman answers him with a ridiculous question. "I won"t give away the position of the main wife to anyone."
Main wife? Concubine? Why is this woman talking like the people from the ancient era? There"s even a thick accent. Noah frowns at Kai. "What is going on?"
"Malfunctioned." Kai steps away from the woman, inching toward Izo. "I don"t acknowledge this. It didn"t happen to me. No, it didn"t. I refuse to accept this. I didn"t get hitched. No. No. No. No. No. No…"
He continues to deny the truth staring at his face. Kai"s back is held by Izo before it could hit him. Kai looks over his shoulder. "Brother Izo, please help me. Bad things are happening to me."
Izo"s face is expressionless. There"s no sympathy or anger. He meets Kai"s eyes and says, "You have a wife and a concubine."
Shen Mei gasps when she sees Kai and Izo standing too close. "You are also his concubine, aren"t you?"
"When did I become his concubine?" Izo raises his brow. "Who are you, by the way? How did you enter this castle?"
"I am his wife." Shen Mei points at Kai and corrects herself, "I am his main wife."
"I don"t have any wife." Kai hides behind Izo and yells, "I definitely don"t have any main wife."
"Are you giving me the position of a concubine?" Shen Mei wrinkles her nose. "Do you know who my father is? My mother might have a humble origin, but I am raised to take the position of the main wife. Husband, I am fine. A man will always have more than one lover. So, I am totally fine if you take a hundred men as your…" Her voice trembles. "As your concubines or lovers. I don"t mind it at all. Besides, it"s better than taking women as concubines. I want to be the only woman in your household. I will manage your male concubines and serve you wholeheartedly."
Noah mentally counts the times she has said the word "concubine" and yet, he can"t figure out what she"s talking about. He did kiss Kai, but he would never be Kai"s concubine. It"s better to be single for eternity than become this crazy vampire"s concubine. Anyway, why is she even calling herself a main wife?
"No!" Kai covers his ears. "Unacceptable! I don"t even want to get married."
"Goodness!" Izo ma.s.sages his forehead. He studies the woman who looks heartbroken after hearing Kai"s words. She seems to be on the verge of tears. Before she could open her mouth to speak, Izo questions her, "Can you introduce yourself, lady?"
"I am Shen Mei," Shen Mei croaks. "This demon abducted me from my house and took my chast.i.ty."
Izo and Noah don"t question who the "demon" is. But they are very curious how Kai abducted this woman. Izo grabs Kai"s shoulder and pushes him forward. "Explain."
"And also, explain why Noah was kissing you." Izo doesn"t say the words, but the kiss is making his blood boil. Noah isn"t that type of man. Kai must have tricked Noah into doing it. The only reason why Izo isn"t beating Kai up is that there"s a stranger among them. Kai needs to explain who this "main wife" is.
