Accidentally Married A Fox God - The sovereign lord spoils his wife Chapter 277 First Priority

Bai Qingyue quickly shifted into a fox cub within mere moments and chased down his runaway wife, tracking her whereabouts in moments. He caught sight of Li Meirong's slender back at the edge of the island. She had both hands cupped around her small, rosebud lips, busying herself with shouting out his name. Well, the name she dared to bestow upon him, anyway.
He also noticed from the corner of his eye that the hovering turtle he had seen before was floating lazily nearby. The turtle was turned upside down with her stomach facing upwards as she floated in the air.
Bai Qingyue disregarded the new nuisance with a roll of his eyes and set his full attention on his wife.
"Master, were you looking for Snowball?" Bai Qingyue called out in an apparently innocent manner as he came to a stop right behind Li Meirong.
She jumped at the sound of the Fox Spirit's voice and spun around to grab him in a tight squeeze. "You had me so worried!" She placed her chin on the top of his furry head and said, "I'm sorry I left you behind. It was my fault… I was careless."
Bai Qingyue rubbed his long snout against her milk white neck and inhaled deeply. The sweet smelling scent that belonged only to her engulfed his senses, and a strong feeling of contentment washed over him. "It's alright, Master. Wherever Master goes, Snowball will follow, promise."
Li Meirong raised her oval face and regarded him with a frown. "You say that now, but who was it that's been repeatedly disappearing for the past few months?"
"Snowball was a little busy lately." Bai Qingyue answered and blinked, softly tapping a paw on her cheek. He locked eyes with his wife and presented her with the cutest appearance he could muster. "But finally, the unimportant duties are over and Snowball can return to his first priority."
The expression of disapproval gradually relaxed and Li Meirong stared at him with a doting look. Seeing the result of his hard earned work, Bai Qingyue's mischievous looking eyes curved in satisfaction.
"Oh, and what is your first priority?" Li Meirong asked and gently stroked the fur on his head, gracing him with a modest smile.
"You." stated Bai Qingyue matter-of-factly.
A soft sounding giggle escaped her lips. "I thought it would be to play outside and chase after your next meal."
Bai Qingyue's eyes widened in mock horror. "Is that what you think of Snowball?"
His response brought out another peal of laughter. The sound was like music to Bai Qingyue's ears.
A coughing noise could suddenly be heard from the side, breaking the moment. Bai Qingyue turned to confront the Turtle Demoness with a hostile expression. 'This pest dares to interrupt my time with my wife!'
However, the turtle paid him no mind, her blood red eyes were directed to Li Meirong. "I know you have important matters to attend to, but is it really fine to leave that attractive lover of yours in bed with another man? You should have kicked them both out of your house!"
Hearing the turtle's words, Bai Qingyue felt the blood drain down from his face.
