Ghost Matchmaking: Ghost Emperor Husband and Campus Queen Wife

Upon learning that the Duke was dead, that the Blood Race guards had been killed by Gu Yuan, and that Loli was safe, the Blood Race Marquis looked both overjoyed and constipated.

Since the Duke had kicked the bucket and that Elaine had also been dealt with, he was now the highest-ranking person among the Blood Race.

Logically speaking,

He could now automatically take over the Duke’s power and become the new ruler of the Blood Race.

The children were astonished when they heard this.

"Congratulations, Uncle Marquis! No, I should be calling you Uncle Duke now," Meimei said with a smile.

"Wow, does that mean I can come play anytime I want from now on?" Pangpang’s eyes went wide. "After all, in your territory, no one would dare bully us."

The Blood Race Marquis: "..."

’As if anyone would actually dare to bully you.’

’Besides, if you came a few more times, the humble Blood Race truly wouldn’t be able to handle it.’

He took a deep breath, his mouth twitching. "I’m afraid I’m not qualified."

"The former Duke made too many enemies. If I take this position, I might not even last a month."

"It would be best to choose someone powerful enough to intimidate all the ghosts."

"And this person must also have powerful connections, letting other ghosts know that if they dare to attack us, they will surely face joint retaliation from other powers."

Hearing this,

Meimei asked doubtfully, "Where are we going to find someone like that?"

"Powerful and well-connected... we have people like that at the orphanage, but the big sisters wouldn’t be willing to come help you."

Pangpang chimed in, "Yeah, don’t tell me you want Brother Gu Yuan to do it?"

The Blood Race Marquis said nothing.

At that moment, Loli blinked and looked at Yun Zhenyue.

Noticing Loli’s gaze,

the other children subconsciously looked at her too.

Wait!

’Sister Yun Zhenyue seems perfect for the job!’

’As Brother Gu Yuan’s wife, her strength is beyond question.’

’Gu Yuan’s power is her power.’

’Once that giant eyeball makes an appearance, who would dare to mess with Yun Zhenyue?’

’And it seems she has extensive connections, too.’

The children had all heard Yun Zhenyue say that she had connections to a series of powerful instances—the hotel, the hospital, the school, the mall, the Ghost City... and she held high-level positions in all of them.

If she ran into trouble, she could make a single call to arms and countless friends would come to her aid.

"Why are you looking at me?"

Seeing this, Yun Zhenyue blinked and pointed at herself in confusion.

"You don’t expect me to be the Duke, do you?"

"I’m not even from the Blood Race."

"What about my hair or my eyes looks like the Blood Race?"

"Besides, I was involved in the death of the last Duke. It really wouldn’t be right for me to take over."

The Blood Race Marquis cleared his throat. "You can be of the Blood Race."

"You’ve never used your powers anyway, so no one can tell the difference."

"Furthermore, the Duke brought his death upon himself. His forceful abduction of our own people had already drawn public outrage. Those guards loyal to him are all dead, and the remaining members of the Blood Race will all support you."

"My Lady, I beg you, please help us and become the Blood Race Duke!"

"For the future of the Blood Race, and for Loli’s sake... after all, you wouldn’t want to see a great enemy invade and Loli die for no reason, would you? She hasn’t even seen the cherry blossoms yet."

Yun Zhenyue: "..."

’Has this old geezer been corrupted by the kids?’

...

「In the end.」

At Loli’s repeated requests,

Yun Zhenyue reluctantly agreed.

’I’ve been a Count, so I might as well be a Duke.’

’In for a penny, in for a pound.’

’You get numb to it after collecting so many titles.’

’Anyway, every time I enter an instance,’

’I always manage to worm my way into a high-level leadership position.’

However, since she still had missions to do, she couldn’t stay here forever.

The Blood Race Marquis said that didn’t matter.

She just needed to be the ruler in name.

As for handling official business, he could help. Besides, there usually wasn’t much to do. The members of the Blood Race each had their own territory and only gathered when something major happened.

The moment Yun Zhenyue agreed,

all Dragon Country players in the Ghost World received a system notification!

[Ding! Yun Zhenyue detected as the new Blood Race Duke!]

[All Blood Race territories have become Dragon Country Loyalty-Type Instances!]

[Dragon Country players may now choose to directly enter any Blood Race territory and will be treated with respect by the Blood Race!]

...

Seeing this,

the Dragon Country audience was a bit stunned.

Loyalty?!!

What kind of level was that?

They had seen Friendly and Shelter-Type Instances before.

The former could provide some support, while the latter could protect Dragon Country players.

But Loyalty-Type?

No one in the world had ever heard of it!

It must be the highest level!

After all, no human had ever become the supreme leader of an instance!

And with absolute authority, the kind where if you want someone dead, they die!

Although Yun Zhenyue just lucked into the Duke title,

the Dragon Country players would receive unimaginable benefits!

From now on, they could walk sideways through Blood Race territory without any problems.

[LOYALTY! LOYALTY!]

[Ah, I think I’m seeing the sun! Yun Zhenyue is the sun of this Blood Race!]

[Whoa, so we get to ride her coattails? In the future, when we go to these instances, the Blood Race will respect us?]

[From ghost-friendly, to shelter and assistance, and now to respect... this small change will make a huge difference for Dragon Country players.]

[Damn, so in the future, if we have a mission, we can just ask a member of the Blood Race for help?]

[Yun Zhenyue is awesome! Boss Gu Yuan is awesome!!!]

...

In contrast,

many foreign viewers found it unbelievable.

They were even getting completely triggered!

[Yun Zhenyue is the Blood Race Duke? She’s a foreigner! What right does she have to be a Duke?!]

[This Blood Race has no shame!]

[How can they let her be the ruler of the Blood Race? She’s not even one of them.]

[Shibal, you idiots! She’ll bring ruin upon you!]

[Leave some for the rest of us! Stop snatching all the high positions!]

...

「A short while later.」

A group of players happened to arrive outside the Blood Race’s old castle.

There were 10 people in total.

Nine of them were from the Great Cold Country.

Only one was a female player from Dragon Country.

The latter was a female student, dressed in a school uniform, with a rather innocent demeanor.

She had only completed a few missions and was still a newbie.

Everyone’s mission was to survive in this old castle for seven days.

"Hmph, a Dragon Country person?"

"You’re out of luck this time, getting matched with us."

"Go tell those Blood Race members that we’ll be staying in the castle for seven days. Use these Ghost Coins as rent."

The leader of the Great Cold Country group sneered.

Hearing this,

the female Dragon Country student was filled with despair.

She looked at the pitifully few Ghost Coins.

She knew this was tantamount to sending her to her death!

The Blood Race was very proud.

Asking to stay in their castle and only offering this paltry sum was a complete and utter insult!

But, left with no choice,

she could only take the Ghost Coins and steel herself to approach the castle.

When she saw the Blood Race butler and stated her purpose, holding out no hope,

the seemingly cold and heartless butler instead sized her up carefully for a few moments.

Then, he broke into a smile.

"You must be from Dragon Country, miss?"

"Huh?" The student was stunned for a moment. "Y-Yes..."

"Excellent. Please, come in. Since you’re from Dragon Country, you can stay as long as you like. Make yourself at home. No payment is necessary."

"After all, this place can be considered Dragon Country’s territory."

The Blood Race butler welcomed the utterly confused girl inside.

’Since when was Dragon Country so awesome?’

’We have our own territory in the Ghost World now?’

"Aren’t those people your friends?"

The Blood Race butler had noticed the Great Cold Country players hiding outside the castle.

"No..." the student said.

"Understood. I will dispose of them now. We don’t welcome anyone here except for people from Dragon Country."

"However, please try not to frighten the children in the castle."

"I don’t quite understand..." the student stammered, bewildered.

"Well, there are stories going around that people from Dragon Country are quite terrifying. Some have infinite strength, some can draw a sun, others bring death just by crying..."

"And then there’s the one with the big eyes that can kill with a single glance. That story has terrified many of the Blood Race children. It’s now become the best story for many Blood Race mothers to scare their kids," the Blood Race butler said apologetically.

WHAT?!!

The student was completely and utterly shocked.

’Where did these stories come from?’

’People from Dragon Country can scare ghost children into crying?’

’You’ve got to be kidding me!’

’And those descriptions!’

’Those aren’t even humans!’
