Douluo: Martial Soul Ghost Emperor of the Wedding Dress, All Spirit Beasts Sacrifice

The laughter of the Ghost Bride accompanied the attacks of her iron chains, echoing incessantly in the surroundings like a whisper of death. It permeated the air with a deep chill that struck straight at the soul, making one's scalp tingle.

"Mommy, there's a ghost!"

A small child clung to an adult's leg, his face full of fear as his tiny body trembled uncontrollably.

"Let's go, let's go. I just wanted to watch the show, why is it so terrifying!"

Seeing the Ghost Bride drifting back and forth while emitting strange laughter from time to time, those afraid of ghosts dared not linger any longer.

Only the bold felt a sense of novelty: "Is this that kid's Spirit? She still has quite a charm to her!"

"Ah, damn it!"

The iron chains bound Yan tightly, and the Qingming-colored flames upon them burned him so badly he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan of pain.

"Are you... actually a human or a ghost?"

Yan was tossed onto the ground, trussed up like a dumpling.

He endured the pain, and as he looked at the Ghost Bride, his heart felt a sense of palpitations.

If she were human, how could she produce such a hair-raising laugh?

"Hongdou!"

Su Wen reached out his hand, and the Ghost Bride instantly transformed into a cloud of red mist, drifting back into the red Oil-paper Umbrella.

The red umbrella landed in his palm and then vanished in an instant.

"You couldn't even beat my dowry... ahem, my little follower. Go back and practice some more!"

Seeing more and more people gathering around, Su Wen feared attracting too much attention. He didn't engage further, dropping a casual remark before turning to leave.

However, he was also shocked internally; he hadn't realized Hongdou could laugh.

Although it was a bit...

This was also Su Wen's first time witnessing Hongdou's combat prowess.

Although her first Spirit Skill was merely binding, she played with the iron chains as if they were flowers.

She could mold them into any shape she desired at will.

"Yan, are you alright?"

Xie Yue breathed a sigh of relief as he saw Yan being released.

But seeing him covered in rags and his skin scorched in streaks, he felt a jolt of shock in his heart.

Yan possessed the Flame Lord Spirit; logically, he should be immune to a certain degree of heat and not be easily burned.

Yan was equally shocked; he had never seen Su Wen's Spirit before.

There was an umbrella, and there was a woman dressed in red.

Which one was his actual Spirit?

"Senior Brother, Hongdou is so amazing."

"Senior Brother is even more amazing!"

Hu Liena followed by his side, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Su Wen.

Yan's Spirit had awakened a year earlier than theirs.

He was about to reach the second ring, yet Senior Brother had managed to cross levels... no, that wasn't right. Senior Brother hadn't even made a move, and Yan had already been defeated.

"I hope today's events don't spread, and certainly don't reach the ears of Spirit Hall."

Compared to Hu Liena, Su Wen felt a hint of worry.

"Why?" Hu Liena blinked her eyes in confusion.

"If rumors spread in Wuhun City that I have an improper relationship with a ghost, then the rumors in Spirit Hall will become established facts!"

"Hee hee!"

"Let's go. We need to buy some things first; I still need to burn them for them when we get back."

"Burn them? Who are you burning them for, Senior Brother? The teacher?"

"For those down below."

Hu Liena subconsciously looked down at her feet, finding nothing, and the confusion in her eyes deepened.

Su Wen didn't reply. He was pondering whether there were any paper-craft shops in Wuhun City.

Chapter 33: Explosion is Art

Su Wen took Hu Liena around Wuhun City.

He didn't find a paper-craft shop.

However, he did manage to buy two wooden combs and some flower seeds.

Su Wen prepared to test whether he could burn them over to them tonight.

"Do you have any ten-thousand-year Whale Glue?"

Su Wen took Hu Liena and ducked into the largest shop in Wuhun City.

"Ten-thousand-year Whale Glue is liable to make a person explode..."

The shop assistant glanced at Su Wen, and before he could finish his sentence, Su Wen tossed over a bag of gold coins.

"Can you get it or not?"

Seeing the little fellow was so generous, the assistant's eyes brightened slightly: "Of course I can. To obtain Spirit Rings, Sea Spirit Masters over in Hanhai City hunt countless Sea Spirit Beasts every year. The one thing they have in abundance is Whale Glue, it's just that we don't have the connections here..."

"Little brother, I have to warn you, ten-thousand-year Whale Glue will make you explode, and I mean that kind of explode. Are you sure you still want it?"

Su Wen nodded with great certainty, and after settling the details with the other party, he left with Hu Liena.

"Senior brother, can eating Whale Glue really make a person explode? Which 'explode' did they mean?"

Once they were out of the shop, Hu Liena couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, thinking back to the warning tone the assistant had used.

"Nana, ask me again when you're older. For now, you just need to remember that explosion is art; if you don't explode, just keep eating."

Su Wen felt that his business was finished, so he immediately took Hu Liena to buy gifts.

He also bought a small purple-red bracelet for Bibi Dong; regardless of whether she wanted it or not, buying it was the right thing to do.

On the way back, Su Wen looked at his empty coin purse and sighed inwardly, forming a stark contrast to the excited-looking Hu Liena beside him.

"Senior brother, in the future, Nana will earn money for you to spend, too."

Hu Liena, clutching the pile of things her senior brother had bought for her, suddenly spoke in a low voice.

"Hm?"

Su Wen glanced at her.

Hu Liena lowered her head, a faint blush spreading across her face.

"Alright then!"

Su Wen raised his hand and ruffled her hair.

Hu Liena's face felt hot, and she suppressed the urge to nuzzle against his hand.

A look of satisfied joy appeared on her small face.

After parting ways with Hu Liena.

Su Wen returned to the courtyard and rubbed his hands together.

He took two wooden combs and a bag of flower seeds out of his Soul Tool.

He then retrieved a watering can from the house and placed everything together on the ground.

"Hum!"

Su Wen summoned his Spirit Rings, and the moment they flickered, two figures flew out from within.

A Yin and A Rou stood before him.

They looked at Su Wen.

Both spoke almost simultaneously.

"Husband?"

"Master?"

"A Rou, from now on, you can address me the same way as A Yin!"

"Understood, husband!"

"Is it alright if I just burn these for you?"

Su Wen pointed at the items on the ground; he couldn't find a paper-offering shop, so he had to burn what he had on hand.

Seeing them nod gently, Su Wen didn't waste any more words, found something to start a fire, and lit them.

As the flames burned and the items turned to ash, a cold wind blew into the courtyard, and a Ghost Hand suddenly reached out from the ground.

To Su Wen's shock, the ashes were dragged entirely into the ground by this Ghost Hand.

"Husband!"

"Master!"

"We have received them!"

Over a year later.

In the quiet courtyard.

Bibi Dong was dressed in a tight-fitting purple gown with gold patterns.
