Ghost Matchmaking: Ghost Emperor Husband and Campus Queen Wife

It was just a tiny fragment of memory.

It seemed to be an effect of the Unity Bracelet.

This allowed her, and her alone, to see it.

She saw Gu Yuan come into being in a place called Evil Soul Street.

Having just transformed into a ghost, his eyes were filled with confusion.

His power was no more than that of the weakest Residual Soul.

Back then, a ghost had already set its sights on him.

A young female Ghost, disguised as someone who was lost.

When he finally managed to slay that Ghost, he was stunned to discover he had absorbed its power and even gained a strange new ability. He seemed to be reveling in his survival.

Gu Yuan had wanted to live a quiet life.

But this dangerous Ghost World showed him no kindness.

Every ghost on the street craved his flesh and blood!

On this street, only slaughter existed!

Every ghost was an enemy!

The old woman who helped him, the seemingly kind girl who gave him food, even a dog he had taken in...

In the end, they all turned on him, choosing to stab him in the back!

To survive!

Gu Yuan had no choice but to kill!

He violently purged that entire Evil Soul Street!

Yun Zhenyue watched Gu Yuan swing his blade, again and again.

His calm eyes gradually turned cold and numb.

It was as if he had transformed from an ordinary person.

Until the very end.

He walked out of the street, all alone.

His clothes were soaked in blood. He had become a ferocious wraith and headed for distant lands.

That was the entirety of the memory.

Yun Zhenyue’s gaze was distant.

She finally understood, at least in part, Gu Yuan.

’No wonder he has so many abilities!’

’Were those skill cards he had before actually the ghosts he’d killed?’

’Just from what I’ve seen, there must have been hundreds of them!’

’Many with all sorts of strange and bizarre powers.’

’And those were just the useless skills!’

’He probably kept even more for himself.’

She couldn’t count all his abilities, and every single one represented the death of a ghost.

Yun Zhenyue was shaken to her core!

’So Gu Yuan wasn’t this strong from the beginning. He climbed his way up, step by step.’

In this Ghost World, the only way to survive is to become stronger.

It was like an ordinary person being thrown into the Ghost World.

’Wasn’t Gu Yuan just an ordinary person back then?’

’He still held on to some hope for this world.’

’It was the world that coldly and cruelly betrayed him!’

That Ghost he had just met, disguised as a lost girl, had nearly taken his life. If he hadn’t been cautious and dodged the fatal blow, he might have died on the very day he came into being.

’Is this his secret?’

Yun Zhenyue’s heart ached for Gu Yuan.

No wonder he never mentioned his past.

Indeed.

There was nothing good to mention.

’If he talked about it, it would just sound like he was playing the victim.’

’So he became the lazy person he is today.’

’Is it actually to hide the pain of his past?’

...

At this moment, unaware of what the dazed Yun Zhenyue was thinking, the Dragon Country audience was simply shocked by Yuan.

[Holy crap, stage one. How many ghosts did he kill?!]

[Isn’t he just copying negative emotions? I’m pretty sure that’s what I heard. Can these inner emotions actually affect reality?]

[You probably wouldn’t see a scene like this unless he’s killed at least a hundred thousand ghosts.]

[If a single Heart Demon is this ferocious, how brutal must Gu Yuan himself be?!]

[I’m starting to believe what those foreigners were saying. Could Gu Yuan actually be the final boss?]

[Stop chatting, that Duke is making so much blood! It’s a sea of blood!]

[HOLY SHIT, wait, did he just drink... drink the sea of blood???]

...

「Meanwhile.」

To trap Yuan, the Blood Race Duke chose to release the blood from his body!

This was his ability.

This crimson blood was what he had previously absorbed and stored in his body. It could trap ghosts of similar strength, and as long as he could temporarily immobilize Yuan, he had a way to deal with him.

The Blood Race Duke clutched his chest, his eyes turning crimson!

"Kneel before me!"

He snarled as he watched Yuan, who seemed to feel no pain, advance toward him like a monster.

WHOOSH~

In an instant!

A thick, churning torrent of blood erupted from his body, instantly flooding the entire castle interior. The sea of blood roiled with murky, dark-red waves, bubbling like boiling asphalt.

The Blood Race Duke held nothing back.

The thick, cloying stench of blood, enough to clog one’s nostrils, washed over them.

"This..."

The Blood Race guards saw the monstrous sea of blood pour out of the castle, and their scalps tingled with fear.

But they could not flee.

They could only block the escape route for Yun Zhenyue and the others.

A few spatters of blood landed on them.

Just a single drop!

It felt as if it weighed ten thousand pounds!

It crushed them, leaving them unable to breathe.

The blood in their own veins instantly stagnated!

"AHHH!!!!"

"My Lord Duke!"

"It hurts so much..."

One by one, they slammed to their knees as if crushed by a mountain. Their iron swords clattered to the ground as they lay prostrate like ants, wailing in agony.

Meanwhile, Shoushou had drawn a giant umbrella.

It was barely able to block the spattering blood.

But the umbrella was making cracking sounds, clearly on the verge of breaking.

Unlike everyone else,

Yuan was not imprisoned by the blood.

The chains on his feet still rattled.

Step by step.

He stared at the Blood Race Duke and walked forward.

Every step sank into the scalding blood.

Every step was slow, yet resolute.

This sight sent a chill through the Blood Race Duke’s heart, his eyes shot with blood!

Even an endless tide of blood washing over him had no effect. This monster... it seemed intent on killing him!

Pain couldn’t stop him.

Neither could this sea of blood.

What in the world could make him stop?!!

Just then,

Yuan seemed to notice something.

He turned his head sluggishly.

He saw that Shoushou and the others were about to be overwhelmed.

Then, his morbid eyes turned to the sea of blood before him.

As if having decided something, he opened his mouth wide.

"Wait, you—"

The Blood Race Duke was in disbelief, his body nearly frozen stiff.

He could only watch the incredible scene that followed!

The sea of blood began to surge into Yuan’s mouth.

Yes!

He began to drink the sea of blood!

The sea of blood was already being controlled by the Duke to surge and entwine around Yuan. The moment he voluntarily opened his mouth to receive it, his mouth became a vortex, sucking the sea of blood into his stomach!

As he drank more and more,

his stomach didn’t swell in the slightest.

It was like a bottomless abyss.

He didn’t stop until the Blood Race Duke could no longer draw out any more blood, leaving the Duke standing there, stunned.

’My entire reserve... was drunk dry?’

’This is the first time someone has ever drunk my blood!’

You have to understand,

every drop of this sea of blood was condensed with the yin energy he had stored!

A single drop weighed tens of thousands of pounds!

How could he dare to drink it all?!!

Wasn’t he afraid his stomach would burst?!

"You’re courting death!" Snapping out of his shock, the Blood Race Duke’s eyes gleamed with malice!

Even though his blood had been drunk, he could still control it!

He just needed to control the blood, and all the yin energy within it would detonate in an instant!

Enough to blow a hole right through this monster’s stomach!

BUZZ!

As the Blood Race Duke used his ability,

something unexpected happened once again.

Yuan was completely unharmed.

It was as if the blood had returned to where it belonged.

The monster closed its mouth.

And continued to drag its heavy feet toward him.

"How could this be..."

The Blood Race Duke was on the verge of collapse!

"This is impossible!!"

’Unless this monster’s power far exceeds my own.’

’Only then could it digest so much yin energy in one go.’

’Even a top-tier Evil Star couldn’t do it.’

’Only... a Great Evil?!!’

Just as the Blood Race Duke broke out in a cold sweat, dazed, his eyes revealing a look of fear,

he suddenly heard Yun Zhenyue’s soft voice:

"Are you ready? It’s time to start stage two."
