Ghost Matchmaking: Ghost Emperor Husband and Campus Queen Wife

And that was precisely why.

Han Sumei was so resistant.

When she faced those choices.

For example, when asked if she was willing to take a blow for the Ghost Lord.

Han Sumei’s subconscious was violently resisting!

She hated Gu Yuan down to her very bones!

So how could she possibly be willing to give her life for him?

If it weren’t for Gu Yuan, Yun Zhenyue wouldn’t have been so smugly successful.

He was the reason she’d had the worst luck in so many instances.

In any case, not only did Han Sumei refuse to take the blow for him,

she even gloated over his misfortune, clapping and cheering from the sidelines.

When the Ghost Lord demanded she hang herself,

Han Sumei flatly refused.

She grabbed the bottle of poison,

and threw it all over the Ghost Lord!

The testing machine didn’t seem to have anticipated such a situation.

Unwilling to give up, it created many more similar Illusion Realms.

But Han Sumei’s choices were all the same!

Expected her to sacrifice herself for the Ghost Lord?

Sacrifice my ass!

Backstab him, curse him, watch him fall, watch him die...

The huge commotion just now wasn’t because she was afraid of the Ghost Lord.

The truth was the exact opposite!

Han Sumei was so thrilled her scalp was tingling!

But after she came to her senses, Han Sumei was on the verge of a breakdown!

She never would have dreamed it!

This SSS-rank Purgatory Factory!

A factory where nearly all the mid-to-high-level staff were fanatical believers—and the object of their worship was actually Gu Yuan!

—Yun Zhenyue’s husband!

"No wonder..."

Han Sumei bit her lip hard.

Her teeth broke the skin, drawing a trickle of blood.

No wonder Yun Zhenyue could have maxed-out loyalty!

Who could possibly compete with her?

After realizing this,

Han Sumei was utterly devastated.

She staggered to her feet in a daze,

ignoring the examiner’s shocked gasp.

Her loyalty was so low the machine couldn’t even detect it!

It had fallen below zero!

—It was a negative number?

If she ever really met the Ghost Lord, she would probably be the first one to backstab him.

CREAK~

Under the incredulous gazes of the few others in the room,

Han Sumei pushed open the door.

Covered in a cold sweat, she walked toward the workshop.

When she saw the Ghost Line Chief’s questioning yet smug gaze,

Han Sumei didn’t say a single word.

She kept her head down, her heart filled with despair.

This was even more hopeless than when Maya had charmed the Ghost Section Chief into assigning her to this workshop!

’Gu Yuan is the Ghost Lord!’

That meant her path to promotion was completely blocked.

If she couldn’t raise her loyalty,

it would be useless no matter how many tasks she completed.

"Well, well, if it isn’t our Miss Courageous?"

"Did you get your loyalty score?"

"Did it even reach 60?"

The Ghost Line Chief taunted, seeing Han Sumei’s devastated expression.

"..."

Han Sumei didn’t answer.

She could barely speak.

There was only one thought in her mind.

’Am I going to be stuck working in this factory for the rest of my life?’

"I told you, didn’t I? What makes you think you can compare to that great one?"

The Ghost Line Chief sighed, shaking their head.

"Since that’s the case, your workload for the week is doubled. A small punishment for your disrespect."

"You don’t have any objections, do you?"

Hearing this,

even though she wanted to ignore the Ghost Line Chief, Han Sumei knew she had to respond.

Han Sumei’s eyes froze. She looked up in disbelief and said, "You—"

"How is that possible? I can’t even finish my current workload. If you double it, I’ll die."

In an instant!

An icy aura enveloped her.

It was as if she had fallen into an abyss.

Han Sumei sensed killing intent.

The Ghost Line Chief’s gaze was as cold as frost. "Either die, or do as I say."

"You have no choice."

...

Seeing this,

the Great Cold Country audience couldn’t take it anymore.

They were completely bewildered.

What on earth did Han Sumei see in the Illusion Realm?

She was so devastated.

Like her husband just died!

Negative loyalty?

Does she have a grudge against that Ghost Lord?

[Miss Sumi, you...]

[Who on earth is the Ghost Lord? Sumi has never provoked him, right?]

[How could she have provoked the Ghost Lord? He must be a Great Evil. Miss Sumi wouldn’t even have a chance to meet him.]

[Then what happened? Why is Yun Zhenyue’s score maxed out while hers is so low?]

[It must be a conspiracy by the people from Dragon Country!]

...

The Dragon Country audience didn’t understand either.

Not knowing the truth, they were itching with curiosity.

Yamada Aiko, Maya, and the chosen one from Kangaroo Country.

Every single one of them was acting like a riddler.

After coming out of the Illusion Realm,

their moods all seemed to turn extremely gloomy.

Their expressions were awful to behold.

They kept muttering things like, "Impossible," and "How could this be?"

Maya and the Kangaroo Country chosen one’s loyalty scores were only around 50.

Only Yamada Aiko’s loyalty barely reached 65.

What on earth did they see?

[I’m really baffled. Is the Ghost Lord super ugly or something?]

[Why are their loyalty scores so low? I don’t think they’re exactly paragons of virtue.]

[Who knows? I really want to see what the Ghost Lord looks like.]

[It couldn’t be that Gu Yuan is the Ghost Lord, could it?]

[Gu Yuan? No way. He wouldn’t exploit these ghosts, acting like some great villain.]

...

Meanwhile,

unaware of the breakdown Han Sumei and the others were having,

after slacking off at the factory for two or three days,

Yun Zhenyue looked worriedly at the three people in front of her.

Two fair-skinned little girls in small-sized work clothes were staring at her curiously.

One, holding a small hammer Ghost Artifact, was extremely enthusiastic.

The other, holding a small axe Ghost Artifact, was a bit shy.

They were the two daughters of a high-level manager at the factory.

There was also a familiar face she had met before.

The cold, red-bowed girl, Li Ruxue.

All three had been assigned by the factory’s upper management.

They all had a lot of potential, and their strength was decent.

But their loyalty still needed to be cultivated, so Yun Zhenyue was tasked with mentoring them, like taking on apprentices.

Yun Zhenyue was a little troubled.

Her loyalty was inherent.

After all, the Ghost Lord was Gu Yuan.

If it were anyone else, her loyalty might have plummeted to the bottom.

Yun Zhenyue had no confidence she could cultivate their loyalty properly.

"Big sister, my dad said you’re amazing, and your loyalty is maxed out."

The girl with the small hammer said in awe, her eyes sparkling as she looked up at her.

"How in the world did you do it?"

"I’ve never even seen the Ghost Lord. I’m so curious."

Yun Zhenyue didn’t know how to answer.

She said subconsciously, "I... I have a very good relationship with him, and then—"

Before she could finish her sentence!

Yun Zhenyue immediately clamped her mouth shut.

’Crap!’

’I let it slip!’

At that moment,

all three of them stared at Yun Zhenyue.

The two children were stunned.

They didn’t doubt for a second that Yun Zhenyue might be lying!

After all, she had maxed-out loyalty!

She might actually know the Ghost Lord!

One on her left, one on her right,

the two little girls immediately hugged Yun Zhenyue’s legs.

Their eyes were filled with longing and adoration!

As if to say:

’Please carry us, master!’

"Big sister, I want to have a good relationship with the Ghost Lord too!"

"Oh, right, I heard you have to do bad things to get promoted."

"Teach us how to become big villains!"

Yun Zhenyue: "..."

’I really don’t want to be a bad influence on kids!’

"Let go first, let me think about it,"

Yun Zhenyue said, troubled.

"By the way, what are your names?"

The little girl with the hammer wouldn’t let go for dear life.

She mumbled, "Big sister, you can call me by my work number, 9527. Or Little Nine for short."

The little girl with the axe was a bit embarrassed, but when she saw Little Nine glaring at her, she also tightened her grip on Yun Zhenyue’s leg.

"Just call me Little Eight..."

Seeing this, Li Ruxue’s aura grew cold.

Fiercely loyal to the Ghost Lord, she didn’t believe what Yun Zhenyue had just said.

"Is what you said true?"

Li Ruxue said coldly.

"What’s true?" Yun Zhenyue asked, confused.

"Your relationship with... the Ghost Lord?" Li Ruxue said after a moment of silence.

Yun Zhenyue didn’t like her.

Li Ruxue had looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze before.

So she said casually, "What do you think?"

Hearing this,

the cold air around Li Ruxue grew even more intense.

"I’ll be watching you."
