My wife is a magical girl, how can I be the villain?

Tang Ming lunged to the ground, hoping to avoid a fatal attack. But the Crimson Spear, imbued with magical power, was impossible to dodge by simply moving.

A whooshing noise came, and Tang Ming had no time to distinguish it, only despairingly thinking it was the sound of a spear cutting through the air.

lb!

The clanging of metal rang in Tang Ming's ears, causing his entire body to tremble. Tang Ming was thrown hundreds of meters away by the shockwave, and after rolling on the ground, he actually caught up with Hua Lingyou.

After a brief period of ringing in his ears, Tang Ming realized that the whistling sound came from the right side of the woods, and at the last moment, it knocked the spear of death away.

"What's going on?!" Hua Lingyou looked behind her in disbelief, but her hands didn't stop. She immediately picked up Tang Ming and left the spot without stopping.

"I don't know either... something else bumped into that gun from the side, otherwise it would have pierced me through the heart."

Tang Ming was somewhat weak, his body covered in cold sweat from surviving the ordeal.

"Was it one of our people who saved me?" it wondered.

"Impossible." Hua Lingyou shook her head: "You're still new here and not familiar with the place. Even our strongest leader didn't have that kind of aura just now."

"He's a good person after all, he saved me." Tang Ming's voice grew lower and lower, and his eyes closed slightly inside the purple crystal shell.

"Don't sleep! If you lose consciousness, you'll revert to your physical body." Hua Lingyou shook Tang Ming.

Tang Ming, feeling drowsy, said, "Let it change then. You know my identity."

"My hands are spikes; once they turn into flesh, I'll slice them into three pieces," Hua Lingyou said playfully.

Tang Ming was jolted awake by those words...

After confirming that there was no danger nearby, the dozen or so magic circles covering the area gradually disappeared. The girl took a deep breath and then sighed heavily.

Although his movements have a very mature, uncle-like feel, they appear charming and coquettish on the cute magical girl.

Before the gun-red eyes, her scarlet spear and... a penholder? They lay peacefully together, with several cracks appearing on the spearholder.

Looking up, a smooth hole shot diagonally into the sky from the spot. The vegetation and trees in the hole were plowed clean. Clearly, this "pen" cut horizontally into the forest from the air, sweeping away everything in its path and knocking the spear away.

"This terrifying magic... no, it's not even magic, what is it? And now I can't feel anything at all..."

The girl frowned her cute brows for a moment, then shook her head, too lazy to use her brain cells anymore.

"Go back and ask Xingyu."

The girl picked up the spear and the pen-like handle, which was only four fingers long, and prepared to continue the pursuit of the two phantom beasts. She would not allow the mission to end halfway.

With a loud bang, a low cracking sound came from several kilometers behind, accompanied by the collapse of rocks and soil.

"The mountain near the site of the battle?"

Qiang Hong frowned, looking back and forth in opposite directions, somewhat hesitant.

Ultimately, the magic emanating from the collapsed valley drew her in.

"Purple Void Beast, next time I'll definitely catch you and chop you to pieces!"

After uttering those harsh words that only she could hear, Qiang Hong immediately flew away from the chaotic scene.

Did you hear a loud bang?

"I heard you, so... mission successful."

Tang Ming and Hua Lingyou stopped at a parking lot near the city outskirts. After deactivating their transformations, they got into Hua Lingyou's car.

Tang Ming tossed the silver safe in his hand onto the back seat and gulped down a bottle of water.

Hua Lingyou leaned against the driver's seat, one hand sticking out of the car window, her index and middle fingers holding a thin cigarette.

"Why are you dressed so formally? Even though you don't need to be naked to transform, there's no need to wear a suit."

Hua Lingyou looked Tang Ming up and down. He was still wearing the same corporate work clothes he had on when he left home that morning. Apart from the messy wrinkles everywhere, there was no difference from when he left.

On the other hand, Hua Lingyou was dressed in a fresh and sexy tank top and hot pants, with a large SpongeBob SquarePants logo on her chest. Coupled with her mature smoking posture, Tang Ming really couldn't tell how old she was.

"Being more casual like me will also help you in the fight."

Hua Lingyou turned around and drew an arc with her hands, showing off her clothes from top to bottom.

"Sister Hua, the cigarette ash fell into the car."

"Oh, her name is Lingyou." Hua Lingyou hurriedly stretched her left hand out of the window and patted the cigarette ash off her body with her other hand.

"...Sister Lingyou, the company's background check couldn't possibly be unaware that I'm married. If I don't dress formally when I go out, my family will think I've lost my job and gone off somewhere."

Tang Ming finished speaking in a bad mood and threw the empty bottle in his hand into the trash can not far away.

"You were indeed unemployed before, otherwise we wouldn't have had the opportunity to fight side by side."

Hua Lingyou leaned closer to Tang Ming:

"How was it? Was it enjoyable?"

Tang Ming nodded without changing his expression.

"It's really great. Not only do you get a salary, but you can also transform. If I were ten years younger, I probably would have paid to join our company."

"Why aren't you blushing?" Hua Lingyou felt awkward and shrank back into her seat.

"The smoke is too strong, stop smoking." Tang Ming pointed to the cigarette butt in the other person's hand.

"We'll see. This can calm me down after I'm emotionally agitated. By the way... don't you have any reservations about being a bad person?"

Hua Lingyou changed the subject, while also expressing her curiosity.

"After all, Void Beasts are absolute villains to society, leaving no room for exceptions, just as Magical Girls are absolute justice."

"It's alright. After all, I'm a man. I can't become a magical girl, but becoming a Void Beast is also a way to control magic. At least when I encounter disaster, I won't be helpless like an ordinary person."

Tang Ming spread his hands and said helplessly, "As for society, it's too complicated. It's none of my business, and I'm too lazy to think about it."

"Using public office for private gain, that's a pretty frank reason. I hope you can achieve even greater success for the company."

"Just keep paying salaries as usual. Don't think about using public office for private gain. The right thing to do is to keep the monthly mortgage payments in place."

Hua Lingyou threw away her cigarette butt, put on her sunglasses, and drove her car out of the parking lot, heading into the city along with the traffic on the highway.

Two silver metal safes lay on the back seat of the car.

"If we're short on cash, how about we rob a gas station we pass by?"

"Then let's not..."

"Tch, pretending to be a gentleman, what a joke."

"Finish your work early and go home early."

……

Ding Dong!

"I'm back."

When Tang Ming returned home, he turned on the living room light, but no one responded.

As darkness fell outside, the starlight and lights outside the balcony accentuated the desolate emptiness of the empty house.

Tang Ming saw the unfinished snacks on the coffee table, the bag still open, and casually tossed on the table. A pair of slippers and boots were lying haphazardly by the balcony door.

"Why leave your shoes by the balcony door instead of keeping them in the entryway?"

Tang Ming frowned, picked up the shoes and placed them neatly in the shoe cabinet. Then he went back to the living room, tied up the snacks on the table with clips, and wiped the table clean with a rag.

A bag of cookies fell on the table. Tang Ming picked it up, popped it into his mouth, ate it in a few bites, folded the empty bag, and threw it into the trash can.

The trash can wasn't lined with a bag...

Tang Ming took out the empty packaging again, put it in a garbage bag, and then threw the garbage into the bin.

Lying on the sofa, Tang Ming rubbed his sore and numb forehead, occasionally letting out a few sighs.

The sounds of my neighbors cooking drifted into the house from the balcony, finally making the house feel less deserted.

...or it becomes increasingly deserted.

When Lin Ruoyu returned, she was quite startled by the man who was sleeping on the sofa.

Why didn't you turn on the light?

Lin Ruoyu put down her things, walked to the sofa, touched Tang Ming's forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Get up, are you going to sleep now instead of tonight?"

Lin Ruoyu shook Tang Ming's arm. Tang Ming opened his sleepy eyes and looked at the woman in front of him in a daze.

"Lin Ruoyu? Oh, you're back. What time is it?"

It's eight o'clock.

"It's so late, how about we go out to eat?" Tang Ming rubbed his dizzy head.

"I... came back after work and having dinner."

Lin Ruoyu put down her handbag and placed the contents of her pocket on the shoe cabinet.

After a while, Lin Ruoyu heard no sound, turned her head and saw Tang Ming with his head down, staring at the trash can at his feet without responding.

"Tang Ming?"

"Didn't you come home to rest after working all night? Why are you going out to work again?"

Tang Ming kept his head down and didn't mention dinner again.

"The company had another order that I needed to keep an eye on, so I went over there this afternoon."

Lin Ruoyu realized that the atmosphere was a bit off, and secretly stuck out her tongue.

Did you do laundry this morning?

"Yes, I did wash them. I told you I would do laundry at breakfast."

Lin Ruoyu was a little puzzled. Had she ruined his clothes in the wash?

After a long pause, Tang Ming finally spoke:

"You did the laundry this morning and left in the afternoon, why are the clothes still in the washing machine after all this time?"

"Oh, I forgot..."

Tang Ming interrupted the other person.

"A messy table full of snacks will attract ants, the trash can needs a trash bag, and the balcony door isn't a place to throw slippers..."

Tang Ming spoke more and more slowly, his tone becoming increasingly low. Although Lin Ruoyu didn't know much about Tang Ming, she knew that his calm demeanor didn't mean he wasn't angry.

I'm very angry right now.

Tang Ming rubbed his hair impatiently until it became a mess.

"Is your job really that important?"

"Or is the clothing job a complete scam?"

After saying this, Tang Ming didn't give Lin Ruoyu a time to respond and went into the restroom.

Lin Ruoyu was left alone in the living room. She scratched her head and walked to the balcony door.
