The possessiveness in her words was almost tangible.

The players watching from afar dared not make a sound, afraid of disturbing the "Queen of Rules'" good mood.

Chu He felt a surge of delight within him.

Damn, is this what it feels like when a "Domineering CEO" falls for me?

He was starting to understand the girls who liked those kinds of books and stories.

But on the surface, he feigned helplessness and sighed, "Alright, looks like we have to go to the dorms together."

He looked towards the female dormitory building, his heart already anticipating the next turn of events.

With Xia Yao around, he could walk sideways.

However, Chu He also felt a bit worried.

Xia Yao's possessiveness was growing at an outrageous pace.

He felt like a player who had just left the novice village and found max-level divine gear. It was exhilarating, but the catch was that the divine gear came with a spirit that had its own consciousness and was extremely clingy. And this spirit was strong enough to flip the entire game server.

What if he encountered other female ghosts later? Given the nature of his "Kiss of the Bewitching Ghost," he might trigger some intimacy checks again.

Would Xia Yao kill him on the spot then, or would she and the other female ghost fight over ownership of him, plunging the world into an apocalypse?

Chu He shook his head, daring not to think further.

Forget it, things will work themselves out. I'll just be more careful in the future and not break rules easily.

The most important thing right now was to deal with this "girlfriend" who treated him like her private property.

As they reached the entrance of the female dorms, Chu He saw a female ghost!

She wore an extremely tight-fitting dorm supervisor uniform that accentuated her voluptuous figure. Her face, however, was deathly pale, with a smear of bright red blood at the corner of her mouth.

She exuded a cold yet alluring aura.

What was most unsettling were her eyes – pure black, without any whites, like two vortices capable of sucking away one's soul.

But the moment she saw Xia Yao, her entire body began to tremble.

"Xia... Madam Xia Yao..." the female ghost's voice came from the depths of the earth, filled with fear and reverence.

Xia Yao glanced indifferently at the dorm supervisor ghost and asked coldly, "Is something wrong?"

Seeing Xia Yao's gaze, the dorm supervisor ghost hastily averted her eyes and said cautiously, "He... he's a man..."

Her voice was weak, as if she had sustained a significant injury!

Xia Yao remained indifferent. "I know. And?"

As she spoke, a wave of pressure was subtly released!

The dorm supervisor ghost startled and quickly said, "N-nothing." She then obediently retreated to the side!

Xia Yao's expression changed instantly, and she smiled brightly at the stunned Chu He, "Let's go in!"

Chu He blinked at her words. "O-okay."

The dormitory building was large, with six floors, and twenty rooms on each floor!

Just as the school rules stated, there was a red button on each door!

A faint smell of mildew permeated the hallway. The paint on the walls was peeling and mottled, and the lights on the ceiling flickered intermittently.

Chu He could clearly feel that behind every closed door lurked various forms of ghostly presences, their whispers and gnashing teeth seeping through the cracks, as if they would pounce and devour him at any moment.

Xia Yao, however, seemed oblivious to all of this, still tightly holding Chu He's hand as they walked upstairs.

"That dorm supervisor seemed badly hurt," Chu He said, trying to probe as they walked.

"She got hurt because I broke the rules she set," Xia Yao replied casually, yet her words contained astonishing information.

Chu He was greatly shocked. "She set the rule about separating male and female students? Then you..."

"Yes, she's SS-Class. I couldn't be bothered to manage the trivial matters of this building, so I left it to her," Xia Yao said as if it were obvious. "As for me... I am the owner of this school."

Xia Yao no longer stuttered when she spoke, and her voice had become increasingly pleasant and melodious.

Chu He could imagine Xia Yao's voice would be as beautiful as a lark's if she were to cry out.

It would make one feel ecstatic.

It would fill one with drive.

And thus, lead to diligent cultivation.

"We're here!"

Xia Yao pulled Chu He along and stopped at the highest floor of the female dormitory building, deep within, in front of a door that was distinct from the others, adorned with three large, gilded characters: "Principal's Office."

Wow, quite the impressive setup.

Chu He guessed that this school instance might have been created by Xia Yao herself!

"This is where you'll live," Chu He said, looking at the door, then feigned confusion and asked, "Then where will I live?"

Xia Yao blinked. "Where you'll live? Of course, you'll live with me!"

"Ah... Aaaah!"

The Dragon Country live stream instantly exploded!

"Holy crap! They're living together! Chu He is amazing!"

"This is moving too fast, isn't it?"

"Ahhh! Living together in the Principal's Office! Is this a plot I'm allowed to see? So exciting!"

Chu He exclaimed in shock, "Ah, we only just met yesterday!"

"But, you kissed me, so I'm yours now. I like you, and when I like someone, I want to be with them all the time."

She suddenly took a step closer, the innocence in her eyes fading, replaced by a cold scrutiny. "What, don't you... like me?"

Chu He's scalp instantly went numb. Was this how romance worked in the ghost world?

And this Xia Yao was truly domineering!

Seeing Xia Yao's displeased expression, Chu He immediately put on his most sincere face, his survival instincts fully engaged. "Like you! How could I not like you! I dream of having a girlfriend as beautiful, cute, powerful, and good to me as you are!"

The coldness in Xia Yao's eyes instantly vanished, her lips involuntarily curling upwards, her eyes smiling into sweet crescent moons. "Then we'll live together!"

"Of course, of course we'll live together!" Chu He affirmed first, then his tone shifted. He put on a deep and gentle expression. "However, Yao Yao, have you ever heard a saying from our Dragon Country?"

Xia Yao blinked curiously.

"True affection isn't about possession in an instant, but about long-term understanding and companionship."

Chu He gazed at her deeply. "Although we just met, I feel like there are countless mysteries between us. I want to understand you, know your past, figure out why you're here, and enter your true inner world. Not just stay on a superficial level like 'kissing' and 'living together' right now."

He paused, his tone becoming extremely solemn. "So, before moving in here, I want to move into your heart first. Can I?"

Every word of this speech precisely struck Xia Yao's heart.

She was stunned. She didn't understand such complex logic, but she could feel the sincerity in Chu He's words, and something deeper and more attractive than "living together."

The reason Chu He dared not agree immediately was a nagging doubt in his heart. Strictly speaking, Xia Yao's figure and appearance far surpassed his ideal type, but his mother had always said the prettier a woman, the more dangerous she was, and this was a female ghost!

A very powerful female ghost.

Who knew what would happen if they lived together!

Xia Yao's small face turned red. After stammering for a long time, she finally asked, "You... really want to understand me?"
