Ghost Matchmaking: Ghost Emperor Husband and Campus Queen Wife

"Mmm~"

"Ah, this is so nice. Why does the sunshine feel so plentiful here?"

Luo Huan lay on the lawn, relaxed and languid, like a napping kitten.

The sunlight warmed the side of Yun Zhenyue’s face, feeling cozy and comfortable, but she couldn’t help feeling a bit exasperated. ’Do ghosts even like sunbathing?’

She lifted her head and squinted at the sky.

Yun Zhenyue could see the blazing sun.

Even from such a great distance,

she could still feel its light purifying her body and soul.

This particular sun felt familiar, as if it were the same cultish little sun Shoushou had drawn before. A strange suspicion formed in Yun Zhenyue’s mind.

’This sun...’

’It couldn’t have been drawn by Gu Yuan, could it?’

She shook her head, casting the stray thought aside.

"Didn’t you ask me to walk around with you? Why did you just come over and fall asleep?"

"Oh, right," Luo Huan said with a yawn, sitting up. "It’s just too comfortable here. I’ve been to so many places, and none of them are as cozy as the orphanage."

"By the way, does the orphanage need any extra help? I could lend a hand."

"You’ll have to ask Kui about that."

"Kui? Forget it. I think she’s terrifying. It might be rude to say, but she really has the air of a final boss," Luo Huan said with a shudder.

"You know the type. All smiles on the surface, but just when you think you’ve finally beaten the main boss, some even more intense background music starts playing, and she pops out saying, ’Finally, it’s my turn.’"

"..."

Yun Zhenyue had no desire to delve into the reasons behind Luo Huan’s fear of Kui.

Her gaze shifted to the children in the distance.

They were playing hide-and-seek with Loli and Mengmeng.

But the way they were playing...

was rather peculiar.

Loli and Mengmeng were the seekers.

But they’d been searching for a long time and couldn’t find any of the children.

Unlike a normal human game of hide-and-seek, where you’d find a hidden spot to hide,

the children were all using their individual abilities.

Yun Zhenyue saw one child’s body silently turn to dirt and sink into the ground.

Another altered the rules, standing right beside the two girls without them noticing at all.

And another transformed into a small insect, chirping on a tree branch.

They had already been playing for half an hour.

Despite searching everywhere from the trees to every corner, the two of them ended up empty-handed and utterly bewildered.

"I’m exhausted."

"Where did this bunch of brats run off to..."

Mengmeng pouted and complained, beads of sweat trickling down her forehead.

"I swear I looked everywhere. It’s so weird. I’m supposed to be really talented at finding people."

Loli remained silent.

But a flicker of unwillingness to give up shone in her eyes.

It seemed she hadn’t abandoned the game just yet.

"Who knows? Maybe they’re in the sky or in the ground."

Yun Zhenyue hinted quietly, handing two bottles of water to them.

"You two take your time."

"I hope you find them before sunset."

Mengmeng crossed her arms and declared proudly, "Of course I’ll find them! Otherwise, I’d be a super-duper idiot!"

Loli nodded. "Thank you."

...

"Miss Yun, I feel like you’ve changed so much."

"You seem more mature than before."

The two of them were walking through the main building, and Luo Huan spoke casually as they went.

"I miss the days when we were in school together. You used to take me around to act all cool, and you even broke through my dad’s defenses, hehe~ I can still remember his dumbfounded expression."

"Hasn’t it only been a short while?" Yun Zhenyue retorted. "It’s only been a few months."

"Besides, people change."

Luo Huan nodded. "The first time I met you, I thought you were a total airhead. The ’airhead’ part is mostly gone now, but you’ve also become quieter."

"You must have been through a lot, haven’t you."

’A lot of things?’

Yun Zhenyue thought back for a few seconds.

Fierce Ghost Mall, Fengdu Ghost City, Eternal Night Manor...

In reality, she had always been in a very safe environment.

Even when she ran into trouble, a single phone call from Gu Yuan would solve everything.

But at the end of the day,

before she participated in the ghost marriage, she had just been a student who hadn’t even graduated yet.

That was her only label back then.

Now, she had many more.

Gu Yuan’s wife, a Blood Race Duke, the City Lord of a ghost city...

These labels were a kind of honor and status.

They were also a responsibility.

These responsibilities had changed parts of her personality.

They made her subconsciously think more deeply about things.

She would never again be like she was when she first moved into Wansheng District.

Moving in with a box of "treasures"...

The person she was now would never do something like that.

’I wonder what Gu Yuan thought when he saw me back then?’

Yun Zhenyue’s neck turned slightly red as she cringed at the memory.

"Ooh~ you’re blushing! What are you thinking about? Are you thinking about your husband!" Luo Huan exclaimed in surprise.

"No!" Yun Zhenyue denied.

"Hmph~ I bet you are! You’re definitely thinking about something naughty. Let me see!"

"I’m not talking to you anymore."

Laughing and joking, the two made their way to the toy room on the second floor.

Through the window from the outside,

they could see a pile of all sorts of toys inside: building blocks, spinning tops, porcelain dolls, wooden knives and swords...

Luo Huan’s interest was piqued. "Hey, look at all the toys! Should we go in and take a look?"

"How old are you? You still want to play with children’s toys."

Yun Zhenyue said with a sigh.

Just as the two were about to enter,

VWOOM!

A white light flashed beside them!

Several unfamiliar figures appeared abruptly.

"Huh? Where did these people come from all of a sudden?"

Luo Huan’s eyes widened as she suddenly realized something.

"Are they humans again? You know, I’ve always found it strange. Why do these people suddenly appear, do a bunch of random stuff, and then disappear again? They’re like a bunch of idiots."

"Are you calling me an idiot?"

Yun Zhenyue asked softly.

However, she also turned her gaze to the people who had just teleported in.

’The orphanage is an instance, so it’s normal for players to get teleported in, I guess?’

She had simply forgotten about that possibility.

"Outsiders?"

Kui walked over from a distance.

Her eyes were downcast; she clearly disliked the arrival of strangers.

It was because these people would disrupt the peaceful lives of the children.

In the beginning,

the orphanage also had these people who called themselves "players" show up.

But later, Gu Yuan concealed the orphanage’s existence, and those players disappeared.

’Is it because too many people came to the orphanage today? Which led to it being discovered?’

In an instant!

An eerie, cold aura emerged from Kui’s side.

It made the five players who had just teleported into the new instance tremble in fear.

Some of the veteran players shuddered.

They had never experienced such an intense, oppressive feeling before.

It was even more terrifying than a Fierce Ghost or a Crimson-robed Ghost!

’But this is a system quest! We didn’t want to come here!’

"Um, Kui, I’ll keep an eye on them."

"Please don’t be angry yet."

Yun Zhenyue spotted a familiar figure among them and immediately tried to placate her.

Luo Huan’s eyes darted around as a mischievous idea seemed to pop into her head. She chimed in, "Right, right, I’ll help watch them too. There won’t be any problems."

Hearing the two of them speak,

the players hurriedly said, "Ma’am, we’ll only be here for one day!"

"You can just treat us as free labor."

"We’re begging you..."
