Ghost Marriage, the Vengeful Ghost in Red

Just then, the elevator's announcement sounded.

[Ding-dong! The elevator is descending. Please hold on tight!]

The familiar sensation returned. A moment later, Lin Feng pressed the button to open the doors.

A Red-Dressed Vengeful Ghost, huh?

Let's see if she's pretty.

Lin Feng genuinely wasn't afraid of ghosts at all. It wasn't because he possessed some extraordinary skill or anything; he was simply brave. Besides, the system had said that the Red-Dressed Vengeful Ghost wouldn't directly kill humans who entered the floor.

So she probably has to meet certain conditions?

What a lame ghost. A vengeful ghost who still has to meet conditions before she can kill someone.

The elevator doors slowly opened, revealing a bridal chamber before Lin Feng. Double-happiness characters were everywhere, but why were they white?

And judging by her clothes, the Red-Dressed Vengeful Ghost was the bride.

Could this be a ghost marriage scenario?

Pondering this, Lin Feng stepped onto the floor. After he entered, the Red-Dressed Vengeful Ghost, whose head was covered by a red bridal veil, said nothing. Lin Feng ignored her too, first looking around the bridal chamber.

Judging by the architectural style, this should be from ancient times.

However, he still couldn't see outside through the windows. After circling the room and finding nothing useful, Lin Feng went over to the bed and bent down to look underneath.

It was pitch-black beneath the bed, and he couldn't make anything out. But since the system had said there was a treasure chest underneath, there had to be one. Without another word, Lin Feng reached his arm under the bed.

His actions left the Red-Dressed Vengeful Ghost sitting on the bed utterly dumbfounded.

What kind of approach was this??

Why was he feeling around under the bed right off the bat?

"Huh? What's this? It's ice-cold."

Lin Feng frowned and carefully felt around the object.

"Holy shit! Why is there a person under the bed?!"

Lin Feng hurriedly pulled his hand out. He had just fucking interlocked fingers with the person under the bed!

And judging by the temperature and stiffness, it was definitely a corpse!

Could it be the corpse of the Red-Dressed Vengeful Ghost sitting on the bed??

Just then, Lin Feng suddenly felt as though something behind him was staring at him. Even his breathing grew heavier.

A voice in his mind kept telling him to turn around, to turn around right now.

But the hairs standing on end all over his body told him he absolutely must not turn around. Lin Feng had always trusted his sixth sense.

He believed that if he turned around now, he would be close to death. Perhaps that ghost was staring at him right now, and she would be able to attack him as soon as he met her eyes.

Lin Feng had guessed correctly. The Red-Dressed Vengeful Ghost was floating in midair, her body almost pressed against his back. If he turned around now, she would definitely give him a fright, and the condition she needed to fulfill to kill someone was precisely to scare them successfully once.

Don't turn around, don't turn around...

Muttering to himself inwardly, Lin Feng reached his arm under the bed again and continued feeling around.

The treasure chest was right beside the female corpse's head.

"Hmm, nice figure."

After offering that compliment, Lin Feng silently dragged the treasure chest out.

Behind him, the terrifying expression the Red-Dressed Vengeful Ghost had just prepared instantly fell apart when she heard Lin Feng's words.

Damn human!

The Red-Dressed Vengeful Ghost couldn't take it anymore. As soon as Lin Feng dragged the treasure chest out from under the bed and raised his head, she appeared right in front of him, making an expression she considered extremely frightening.

Her eyes rolled white, her veins bulged, and blood streamed from all seven facial orifices.

Lin Feng stared at the Red-Dressed Vengeful Ghost without expression.

That's it?

Any random ghost from the 3D horror movies I've watched would be scarier than you, okay?!

Seeing Lin Feng's expressionless face, the Red-Dressed Vengeful Ghost was astonished. This man was actually that brave!

Then she changed her expression again and let out a miserable shriek.

"Shut the fuck up! You're so damn noisy!"

As he spoke, Lin Feng slapped her.

Huh? This Red-Dressed Vengeful Ghost has a physical body?

Looking at the Red-Dressed Vengeful Ghost he had slapped to the floor, Lin Feng scratched his head.

Whatever. I'll open the treasure chest first.

After taking the Ghost-Repelling Talisman out of the treasure chest, Lin Feng looked at the Red-Dressed Vengeful Ghost.

A Ghost-Repelling Talisman. Naturally, it's for repelling ghosts!

Only then did the Red-Dressed Vengeful Ghost recover from the slap. A human had actually slapped her in the face??

"You're bullying a ghost!"

"???"

Lin Feng looked at the Red-Dressed Vengeful Ghost before him, utterly bewildered.

What was this all about?

Lin Feng ignored her. His time was precious, after all.

Waving the Ghost-Repelling Talisman in his hand, he said, "Do you know what this is?"

Looking at the rather pretty Red-Dressed Vengeful Ghost before him, Lin Feng asked with a smile.

"No."

The Red-Dressed Vengeful Ghost shook her head. She was actually a new ghost and hadn't been dead for long. She had only become a vengeful ghost after death because the resentment from being forced into a ghost marriage had been too great.

"Heh, then let me introduce you to it."

Lin Feng chuckled, then threw the Ghost-Repelling Talisman straight at her.

"Huh? Why isn't anything happening??"

Lin Feng stared blankly at the Ghost-Repelling Talisman that had fallen to the floor. Don't they just fucking throw these things in the movies?

"Beep. Host, please activate the talisman with blood from your fingertip, then shout 'Swiftly, in accordance with the decree!' and throw it."

"You could've said so sooner~"

Lin Feng awkwardly picked up the talisman, then steeled himself, bit through his fingertip, and smeared the blood onto the Ghost-Repelling Talisman.

Once the Ghost-Repelling Talisman was activated, the Red-Dressed Vengeful Ghost sensed the threat it posed to her and hurriedly begged for mercy. "Please spare my life, great immortal! This lowly servant never wanted to become a vengeful ghost and hurt people!"

"Swiftly, in accordance with the decree!"

Lin Feng couldn't care less about any of that. So what if you're pretty? Can being pretty get me a body-strengthening pill?

Hah, women. They only slow down my blade!

At Lin Feng's command, the Ghost-Repelling Talisman automatically locked onto the Red-Dressed Vengeful Ghost and flew toward her.

Boom!

After a deafening blast, accompanied by a miserable scream, the Red-Dressed Vengeful Ghost vanished.

"Beep! Host has completed the mission. Distributing reward..."

"Reward distributed. Congratulations, host. You have received one body-strengthening pill."

[Body-strengthening pill: Enhances your constitution when consumed.]

After collecting his reward, Lin Feng carried the iron treasure chest back into the elevator.

He had to admit that the iron chest was pretty heavy. It had to weigh at least twenty or thirty kilograms.

With how thick it was, stopping a few bullets probably wouldn't be a problem.

After carrying the treasure chest back, Lin Feng set his sights on her bed.

It's a bed! And it has a soft mattress, pillows, and a quilt. Why not see if I can take it away??

Lin Feng looked at the size of the elevator, then at the bed.

"Damn, the elevator seems a little too small."

Lin Feng sighed regretfully. In the end, he could only carry off the mattress, pillows, and bedsheet, without the slightest concern that they were items used in a ghost marriage.
