Ghost Matchmaking: Ghost Emperor Husband and Campus Queen Wife

At that moment,

audiences around the world watched as Yun Zhenyue celebrated a very happy birthday.

Not only did a large group of friends come to celebrate with her,

but Gu Yuan himself also made an appearance.

Inside this small orphanage,

the distinction between human and ghost vanished.

Everyone’s face was filled with a joyful smile.

Even the bosses from the surrounding instances who came to give gifts,

and the female players who had been accidentally drawn in,

were all warmly welcomed by the orphanage’s children.

At six in the evening,

a huge cake was brought downstairs by Kui.

She said the children had spent the last two days making it by hand.

Even though the children at the orphanage hadn’t known Yun Zhenyue two days ago,

they were still eager to offer her their handmade blessings.

With all eyes on her,

Yun Zhenyue blew out the candles.

She shared the cake with everyone.

Afterward, she received their gifts.

The children’s presents were mostly small, handmade items.

There were keychains, small cards, gloves...

Luo Huan’s mysterious gift box, which she had refused to reveal, was finally opened.

Inside was a phone case she had made by hand.

It had a cartoon version of Yun Zhenyue printed on it.

Hearing Yun Zhenyue’s soft "thank you," she felt a little proud. It had taken her a full half-month to make the case, from designing the pattern to mixing the epoxy resin...

Finally,

as Yun Zhenyue blushed and her eyelashes trembled slightly,

Gu Yuan gently kissed her forehead.

It was a wondrous gift,

though the present Yun Zhenyue did not yet know it.

Seeing so many presents,

the Dragon Country audience was practically drooling.

[Holy cow, look at all those gifts! Even the ones from the children are at least Blood-red Ghost Artifacts. That keychain can block an attack from an Evil Star!]

[Ghost Talismans, Ghost Incense Candles, Ghost Sachets... The gifts from the adults at the orphanage are nothing to scoff at either. Kui’s sachet can increase luck.]

[Yun Zhenyue has so many friends! A gift from each of them... if you converted that to Ghost Coins, it would probably be worth tens of millions!]

[This is the most lavish birthday I’ve ever seen!]

[Huh? Gu Yuan just gave her a kiss and that’s it? It would’ve been so much better if he’d given her that dog.]

[That’s a Celestial Calamity Ghost Artifact. If she brought that back to the real world, the other countries probably wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.]

[He can make a dog that’s also a Great Evil? What exactly is Gu Yuan’s identity? Even a normal Great Evil isn’t this ridiculous!]

...

Many foreign viewers couldn’t stand to watch anymore.

This was blatant showing off of wealth!!!

Some of their countries’ contestants were still stuck in the manor!

And here was Yun Zhenyue, celebrating her birthday without a care in the world?

All these precious Ghost Artifacts!

She just accepted them as birthday gifts like it was perfectly normal?

Their own countries’ contestants could work on missions until their eyes went black,

and they still wouldn’t be able to collect this many in a lifetime!

They were filled with envy and jealousy, but also with fear.

The resources Yun Zhenyue had accumulated were no longer just a small amount.

Once she truly maxed out Gu Yuan’s favorability to 100 and returned to the real world...

the Dragon Country would inevitably ascend to the heavens in a single step!

The Dragon Country had a proverb.

When one person achieves enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!

Right now, Yun Zhenyue was that enlightened one.

And the Dragon Country, in turn, was the one being carried to new heights by her.

[Is there anything that can stop her?]

[Shibal, is this even the Ghost World anymore, I ask you!]

[This is the first time I’ve ever seen someone brazenly celebrate their birthday in the Ghost World.]

[Isn’t Miss Sumi’s birthday coming up soon too?]

...

Because Yun Zhenyue was doing whatever she pleased in the Ghost World,

her fame gradually spread across the globe.

A craze for learning about the Dragon Country swept the entire world.

With the exception of soccer,

the Dragon Country’s culture, economy, and history became topics of conversation for ordinary people everywhere.

Many foreign viewers held a firm belief: if the Dragon Country were to invade and conquer the world one day, speaking its language fluently could give one a distinct advantage.

Many men from the Dragon Country became incredibly popular internationally.

Countless foreign women dreamed of marrying a man from the Dragon Country.

Forget a bride price; they were willing to pay a dowry themselves.

Some even spun conspiracy theories, speculating that the Dragon Country’s poor performance in soccer was a deliberate ploy to hide its true strength as a great power, lulling others into underestimating it while it secretly amassed power.

This Ghost Marriage was the perfect example!

Of course,

the Dragon Country’s official stance on this remained ambiguous.

Although many foreign reporters at press conferences asked how the Dragon Country planned to develop the Ghost World and whether it would give other nations a chance, the Dragon Country always maintained that its focus was on peace.

Among all the nations,

the Great Cold Country was arguably the most desperate.

Recently, many of their successful cultural heritage claims had been revoked. The Dragon Country hadn’t even asked for them back, but they eagerly returned things like kimchi and printing techniques to the Dragon Country.

They only hoped to win back a little bit of the Dragon Country’s favor.

As for their previous talk of forming a strategic partnership with the Dragon Country,

the Dragon Country had paid them no mind at all.

In the words of many drama-loving Dragon Country netizens,

it was a total joke!!

’What league are you even in?’

’On what grounds does that piece of trash Han Sumei get to sit at the same table as Yun Zhenyue?’

’The only reason she can even be mentioned in the same breath is that this Ghost Marriage event isn’t over yet.’

’Otherwise, she wouldn’t even be qualified to look up at Yun Zhenyue.’

Left with no choice, the Great Cold Country held another press conference.

They completely overturned their previous conclusions!

What was that about Gu Yuan being just a high-level Evil Star who was constantly avoiding the orphanage?

After this latest mission,

those words made them look like clowns.

A small dog casually created by Gu Yuan was a Celestial Calamity Ghost Artifact!

And the food in his refrigerator—every dish was a top-tier overlord from some other instance!

He didn’t even bother to hide his use of Abyssal Organs!

All of this proved one thing!

—Gu Yuan was a Great Evil!

And perhaps not just a low-level Great Evil!

As for whether he was a mid-level Great Evil?

That remained unknown.

Furthermore,

the Great Cold Country’s representative also dropped a bombshell at the press conference!

They speculated,

that Gu Yuan was very likely the legendary Mr. Gu!

The entity who appeared on the exam paper from Chilling Middle School!

The powerful being who had reshaped the entire Ghost World, established the ranking system for ghosts, and created Ghost Coins!

Before, they had been the ones stubbornly refusing to admit it!

They had tried every means to refute the speculations of other nations!

But now, all the evidence was laid bare.

Gu Yuan hadn’t even tried to hide it!

A long time ago, he had personally admitted to creating Ghost Coins.

Dragon Country netizens were baffled by this.

’Gu Yuan is Mr. Gu?’

Hiss~

’It’s a little shocking, but not that much.’

’After all, the things Gu Yuan has revealed so far are already absurdly over-the-top.’

[Wait, weren’t you the ones who kept insisting that Gu Yuan wasn’t Mr. Gu?]

[Have the people from the Great Cold Country lost their minds?]

[What on earth are they trying to do?]

Finally,

the Great Cold Country revealed its true objective.

They admitted that Gu Yuan was Mr. Gu.

But they refused to acknowledge the rumors that he had changed the Ghost World.

They insinuated that those rumors were either fabricated by Gu Yuan himself or spread by other ghosts to curry favor and flatter him.

As for Gu Yuan’s true strength?

They assessed it to be somewhere between a low-level and mid-level Great Evil.

They also told the people of the Great Cold Country not to panic.

After all, the higher one stands, the greater the responsibility, and the more dangers one can see.

It was highly likely that Gu Yuan was hiding from other threats.

He had only been forced to act this time because of the Heart Demon; otherwise, he wouldn’t have intervened personally.

The people of the Dragon Country thought this actually made some sense.

In movies, the more powerful a person is, the more constraints they usually have.

A being like Gu Yuan...

must surely face threats from an even higher level.

[That’s weird, for once I think the Great Cold Country folks have a point.]

[Are you nuts? They pull this crap every time. If you believe them, you’re an idiot.]

[Threats? I’m not buying it. Not unless some villain suddenly pops up trying to destroy the world.]
