Monster No. 1 Just Wants to Be a Locksmith

He was nothing more than an ordinary locksmith. Though he could change a lock in a second, that was just so customers wouldn’t have time to change their minds before paying up. Though he could subdue a monster in an instant, that was just so customers wouldn’t die before they’d paid. Though he could shove a monster back behind the door, change the lock, and keep it under house arrest, that was only… one way he protected customers until they paid! Two hundred yuan for a lock change and peace of mind? A bargain that couldn’t possibly lose. His customers loved him! In short, he was just an ordinary locksmith, definitely not some big shot in an infinite-flow story! What? What big shot? A locksmith big shot, that’s all. Cheng Li’s greatest good fortune in life was marrying the gentlest, most handsome husband in the world, though his husband was only the gentlest in his eyes. And his husband’s job wasn’t actually selling insurance, despite what he said. After all, no insurance salesman goes around hacking all his clients to pieces with a sword… Everyone at the Bureau of Anomalous Affairs thought Cheng Li was a hero for marrying Captain Pei, the most brutal and ferocious man around. Cheng Li was an ordinary person, but that didn’t stop their admiration for him from growing day by day. For Captain Pei’s happy marriage, the Bureau of Anomalous Affairs had no choice but to do its best to pose as an insurance company. Unfortunately, they lacked experience and made one blunder after another. Luckily, Cheng Li never noticed anything amiss. Only later did they realize that there was something very wrong, all right. The locksmith was the one who was really strange. Cheng Li: You sell insurance? Pei Su: You’re a locksmith?
