Ghost Matchmaking: Ghost Emperor Husband and Campus Queen Wife

L Luo Huan stood at the door.

In her hands, she held a gift box.

Seeing Yun Zhenyue, she immediately waved.

"Miss Yun, long time no see~"

"I came with a special gift for you this time. I worked on it for a long time, so you’ll definitely love it!"

Yun Zhenyue’s curiosity was piqued. "What is it? Can I open it now?"

"No, no, it’s not time yet." Luo Huan clutched the gift box protectively and shook her head.

"Alright then."

Yun Zhenyue wasn’t discouraged. She turned to look at the others.

"Mengmeng, how’s business been lately?"

Mengmeng was wearing a light-colored lace dress.

She was a little nervous seeing so many people, but the thought that they were all members of the group chat put her slightly at ease.

If she hadn’t been able to join this group chat...

...she might have never had the chance to speak with so many important figures in her entire life.

"Oh~ her business is booming! When I went to pick her up, her shop was completely packed." Luo Huan chimed in before Mengmeng could even speak.

Yun Zhenyue sounded a little exasperated. "I wasn’t asking you. Be quiet!"

Luo Huan was the most boisterous ghost she had ever met.

She was always spamming the group chat.

For every one message someone else posted, Luo Huan would post ten.

Sometimes, you’d scroll through and see nothing but her messages.

"Hmph~" Luo Huan looked away with a pout.

"City Lord," Si Qin said in greeting.

Yun Zhenyue nodded.

Then she gestured for everyone to enter the orphanage.

"Everyone, let’s go inside."

Hearing this, the group followed Yun Zhenyue into the orphanage.

Their eyes were filled with curiosity.

Most of them knew this was no ordinary orphanage.

They saw that the orphanage wasn’t particularly large.

It wasn’t the sprawling, immense complex they had imagined.

A few rays of sunlight filtered through the ornate iron gate, which was covered in ivy, casting dappled spots of light on the red brick path.

The group passed through the main building and saw a tall, strange tree rustling as it shed heart-shaped, oval leaves. A little girl with pigtails stood on her tiptoes to catch them, her giggles startling a small dog resting nearby.

The scent of lavender wafted from a small courtyard not far away.

Duvet covers hanging out to dry swayed gently in the breeze, like a warm, rolling wave.

By the sandbox in the backyard, Shoushou held a drawing, showing the other children a picture from his recent trip. About a dozen kids crowded around him curiously, their mud-stained hands from playing with clay gleaming with a healthy sheen in the sunlight.

This place was like a Garden of Eden straight out of a storybook.

The children were carefree, and the atmosphere was peaceful and serene.

Everyone who saw this scene subconsciously slowed their pace, so as not to disturb them.

"So this is your husband’s instance? It looks so beautiful."

Luo Huan’s eyes were filled with the beautiful scenery.

She scratched her head, marveling unconsciously.

"I was planning to act all cool and mysterious, but it looks like there’s no one to show off for."

Si Qin bit her lip lightly. "As expected of the old City Lord’s instance. Even in his absence, it’s managed so beautifully. I still have much to learn from him."

Loli watched the children with envy.

She had once been trapped in a castle, and this was the kind of life she had longed for.

Lin Jiu said in a low voice, "If only all instances could be like the orphanage."

Mrs. Yan coughed twice. "Don’t even think about it. In this world, only Mr. Gu possesses such immense power. The more beautiful a place is, the more easily it attracts malicious eyes."

"Besides him, who else could protect such a large place?"

"I certainly don’t have that kind of ability. Even another Great Evil would likely struggle. It requires not just wishful thinking, but the confidence and power to suppress any and all enemies."

Just as her voice fell,

"Indeed. We have Mr. Gu to thank for all of this, for granting us such a beautiful paradise," came a melodious and gentle voice from the side.

The speaker was Kui.

Sunlight灑 on her white veil, her light-golden hair falling around it, giving her the aura of a holy mother.

Beside her stood another woman with an extraordinary presence. She held a blood-red bone flute, and a single glance at her would make you feel an innate sense of her beauty.

It was as if the word "beauty" was created just for her.

"Hello, everyone. I am Kui, and this is Ling. Welcome."

Seeing the smile on Kui’s lips,

Yun Zhenyue gave a small wave of her hand to greet her.

Kui’s gaze met hers, and she nodded, her smile deepening.

"The birthday dinner will begin at six in the evening. You must be tired from your journey, so please rest for a while."

"If you need anything, you can call me at any time."

Upon hearing this,

the extremely curious Luo Huan immediately turned to Yun Zhenyue. "Miss Yun, Miss Yun, help me get to know the children!"

"And all the things in this orphanage... why do I get such a strange feeling from them?"

Yun Zhenyue nodded. "Alright, I’ll show you around. I’ve heard my husband talk about some of it before, but this is my first time here too. Let’s go take a look."

「...」

When they saw the scene inside the orphanage,

the audience from Dragon Country couldn’t help but be surprised.

This environment!

It was even better than orphanages in the real world!

It felt like something that could only exist in a dream.

[I’ve volunteered at many orphanages. The children there have food and clothing, but there’s no light in their eyes, no hope for the future.]

[Gu Yuan’s orphanage looks amazing. It makes me want to go.]

[Bro, are you an orphan? Why would you go?]

[I can be.]

[What’s the deal with that tree? Why does its fruit look just like hearts?]

[And that dog, it’s made of burlap. How is that thing moving?]

「...」

At this moment,

there was some unusual activity in the several instances surrounding the orphanage.

These instances had all been personally vetted by Gu Yuan.

The lowest among them were S-rank!

With no shortage of SS and SSS-ranks!

There was a bakery, a mini-mart, a clothing store...

Any existences with ulterior motives had long since been purged by him.

Sometimes the children would venture out to play in these instances or use their pocket money to buy things they needed, and the instance shopkeepers would welcome them politely.

Over time,

many of the shopkeepers had become friends with the children.

"Did you hear? It seems the orphanage has guests."

"No way. The orphanage rarely welcomes outsiders. Unless they’re lonely and helpless children, no ghost can get in."

"I saw more than a dozen ghosts, some of them merely Crimson-robed Ghosts, and they all got in!"

"Well, I saw someone carrying a gift. I think it might be someone’s birthday."

"Should I go prepare a little gift and try my luck, then?"

Several of the instance shopkeepers stood at their entrances, watching curiously and murmuring to each other.

They were also thinking of preparing gifts and joining the excitement.

"Might as well give it a try!"

"Even if we get rejected, it’s no loss!"

"But if we can actually get on that great one’s good side, we’ll have hit the jackpot!"

At that moment,

inside their instances,

many of the human players working there were dumbfounded.

They stared blankly at their high-and-mighty shopkeepers, who were now acting like nervous children, desperate to package up every valuable item in their shops as gifts.

"What do you mean, a ten-meter-long, nine-layer cake?"

"A single piece of this meat sells for 1,000 ghost coins, and you’re loading a whole truck of it, boss?"

"These toys are Dark Red Ghost Artifacts at the very least, and you’re packing them all up?"

"Which rich ghost kid is having a birthday? This is insane!"

"Why is the gap between people so huge!"
