Ghost Matchmaking: Ghost Emperor Husband and Campus Queen Wife

Meanwhile.

The audience in the Dragon Country was practically stuffed from all the drama.

[Ah, this... I feel like I’ve seen this scene somewhere before.]

[Did they mess up this marriage annulment? Isn’t it backward?]

[In all those annulment novels I’ve read, isn’t it always the party with the higher status who initiates it? Why is this family doing it the other way around?]

[This is hilarious. I love it! Keep it coming!]

[Yun Zhenyue has really become the villain, backing up Yan Ran to forcibly marry a common girl. LMAO.jpg]

...

「At that moment.」

Xiao Yan, the young mistress of the Nether Flame Clan, ripped off her concealing veil. Her cheeks were flushed red, like ripe strawberries.

It was clear Yan Ran’s earlier words had made her feel ashamed.

Especially in front of so many of her clan members.

Xiao Yan’s feelings on the matter were complicated.

She had said she would marry Yan Ran when they were little, but that was just a childhood promise. Besides, back then, she thought Yan Ran was a boy!

Now Yan Ran was forcing her to honor the engagement and marry her!

This made Xiao Yan’s heart feel like it was burning with a fever.

A little tingly.

Tinged with a hint of anticipation.

And a mortified rage that made her legs go weak!

"You... You—"

Xiao Yan bit her lip, trying to escape Yan Ran’s gaze, but the other woman’s stare was scorching, like a blazing sun that left her with nowhere to hide.

"Yan’er, I really do like you."

"Marry me."

Yan Ran murmured with sincerity.

"I... I don’t like you!" Xiao Yan blurted out instinctively, fighting back her embarrassment.

"No, you do," Yan Ran said, shaking her head.

"What makes you say that!"

"Your expression has already betrayed you. Stop being such a tsundere, be good~" Yan Ran said, her eyes full of affection.

"I’m not a tsundere!!"

Xiao Yan was so angry her cheeks instantly flushed crimson!

「At that moment.」

Yun Zhenyue and the others were all stunned.

’What is going on?’

’How did these two start flirting in front of everyone?’

"Master, want some?"

Hearing Little Nine’s words from beside her,

Yun Zhenyue subconsciously grabbed a handful of popcorn.

’She tried a piece. Hm, caramel flavored.’

’Wait, popcorn?’

"Where did you get this?" Yun Zhenyue asked, bewildered.

"I knew there’d be major drama, so I came prepared," Little Nine giggled.

"Sister, can you please do something useful?"

Little Eight grabbed a handful of popcorn and retorted.

"Hmph, if you’re not going to eat it, give it back!"

Little Nine bared her teeth and grumbled, annoyed.

Li Ruxue: "..."

’So what exactly did we come here for?’

...

Watching Yan Ran aggressively break through the tsundere young mistress’s defenses, the two seemed to have reached some sort of agreement.

Yun Zhenyue then noticed the young mistress, Xiao Yan, looking at her.

"Hey, you’re Ran’s boss, right?"

Xiao Yan asked, her gaze serious.

"Yes. Is there something I can help you with?" Yun Zhenyue asked, confused.

"Ran and I made a bet!"

Xiao Yan huffed lightly.

"She mentioned some three-year pact, saying we’ll have a showdown in three years, and if I lose, I have to marry her. I think that’s too long. We could do it right now, but then she says she can’t bear to hit me."

"So, as her boss, you must be the strongest, right? I want to have a match with you!"

"You can fight in Ran’s place!"

Yun Zhenyue was left speechless and exasperated.

’How did I get dragged into this?’

’However, a small scheme was forming in her mind.’

’As an undercover agent, I should probably sabotage this marriage alliance, right?’

’Knowing the Factory’s MO, they’d probably devour this clan until not even the bones were left.’

’So, should I intentionally lose to this tsundere young mistress?’

But before Yun Zhenyue could agree,

Little Nine couldn’t hold back anymore!

’Someone actually dared to challenge Master right in front of her!’

’They’re completely ignoring her, the disciple!’

"You’re not worthy of fighting Master!" Little Nine charged forward, brandishing her little hammer. "I’ll have a match with you!"

"Just you?"

"Where did this little brat come from?"

Xiao Yan clicked her tongue.

She didn’t take Little Nine seriously at all.

"Damn it!"

Little Nine was furious.

’She hated it when people called her a little brat. She was going to become a supervillain!’

Catching Xiao Yan completely off guard, Little Nine, a top-tier Evil Star, suddenly rushed toward her!

With a single strike of her hammer, she knocked the tsundere young mistress out cold.

Yan Ran saw her chance and caught Xiao Yan, holding her protectively in her arms with a pained expression.

"See that? That’s what happens when you challenge Master!" Little Nine said, crossing her arms.

This scene stunned the people of the Nether Flame Clan.

Several of the elders’ faces turned grim.

"How dare you!"

"Do you think the Xiao Family has no one to stand up for it?"

"The nerve!!"

The elders roared in anger.

Little Nine retorted indignantly, "She’s the one who said she wanted a match. Now you’re blaming me?"

"Master, they’re being reasonable... Ptooey! They’re being completely unreasonable and still won’t back down!"

Seeing this, the Gui Family Head said in a deep voice, "Enough. All of you, quiet down!"

Only then did the elders reluctantly shut their mouths.

The Gui Family Head glanced at Yun Zhenyue fearfully.

After seeing that she wasn’t angry,

he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

’That hammer is no ordinary item!’

’It’s a top-tier Calamity Star Ghost Artifact, at the very least!’

’That’s enough to show that the girl called Little Nine is extraordinary.’

’Even her disciple is this powerful!’

’As her master, wouldn’t she be a Great Evil?’

’The Nether Flame Clan can’t afford to provoke such an existence.’

But just then,

Yun Zhenyue pulled Little Nine behind her protectively.

’Even if she’d gotten this "Master" title under strange circumstances, she couldn’t just stand by and watch Little Nine get bullied.’

Under the Gui Family Head’s intensely watchful gaze,

Yun Zhenyue deliberately put on a cold expression.

"So it is with the marriage contract, and so it is with the bet just now."

"No matter what, this marriage alliance is happening. You have no right to interfere!"

"Whether you want to or not, this marriage will happen. It’s not up to you!"

With that said,

she instructed Li Ruxue, "Keep a close watch on this little young mistress."

"Jie jie jie, she’s a member of the Factory now, you could say."

These words fell on the elders’ ears. She wasn’t giving them any face at all.

The atmosphere instantly became tense and hostile.

"You think you can just take our young mistress?"

"Damn lapdog of the Factory!"

"This old man will fight you to the death!"

Several elders shouted in a fury.

But even though the words were spoken,

not a single one of them made the first move.

It couldn’t be helped. They were still wary of Yun Zhenyue’s status. If they handled this badly, it could truly bring about a great disaster.

Suddenly!

Xiao Yan groggily came to. Her muddled mind registered Yun Zhenyue’s words, and a flicker of dissatisfaction with Yan Ran sparked in her heart. Seizing the opportunity while no one was watching, she bolted.

"Yan’er!" Seeing this, Yan Ran chased after her.

Watching the two of them, the Gui Family Head shook his head and said, "So be it."

"If you can catch up to Yan’er and change her mind, then we will abide by her wishes."

"As long as she is willing to go through with the marriage alliance."

He had already made a concession.

Yun Zhenyue had nothing more to say.

’She was just having a hard time keeping it together internally.’

’Is this some kind of soap opera?’

’Why did a chase scene suddenly start out of nowhere?’

...

Little Eight and Little Nine both went with Yan Ran to find her.

Only Li Ruxue remained behind her.

Yun Zhenyue walked slowly through the back mountains of the Nether Flame Clan estate.

’Should I go after them or not?’

’Her original plan was to sabotage this marriage alliance.’

’In any case, she couldn’t let the Factory get a free dungeon out of this!’

’But Yan Ran’s words had moved her.’

’Did I overact just now?’

’Maybe I should bring that tsundere young mistress back after all.’

’But according to the Gui Family Head, that Xiao Yan is very fast; most people can’t catch her.’

’It would be great if I could just get her to come find me on her own.’

The thought had barely surfaced

when Yun Zhenyue accidentally kicked a stone.

BANG!

The stone hit the nearby mountainside with a sound.

It seemed to have triggered some kind of mechanism.

A white light suddenly flashed, and a cave inexplicably appeared at the foot of the mountain nearby.

"Huh?"

Yun Zhenyue was a bit dazed. She walked into the cave to take a look.

Inside, there was only a single, strange ring.

It was black and ancient-looking.

’What the heck is this?’
