[Okay, okay... this is exactly how it went:)]
How... how was he killed? What exactly happened to Zhou Yize?
" Jiang Nuo, are you crazy?! Why would you kill someone for no reason?! You scared me to death!"
What did Jiang Nuo do to you all? Why does she get criticized for everything she does?
" The Guiding Souls arrives at the sixth person, where love and hate intertwine, turning the soul into a wronged being."
Jiang Nuo straightened up, looking at the Ghost Bride with a composed expression. "Is that what you mean? You want to use Zhou Yize to kill Si Yan?"
The Ghost Bride visibly became extremely gloomy, her teeth grinding together, filled with rage, and her whole body emanated black energy.
But for some reason, he didn't make a move. Instead, he glared angrily at Jiang Nuo and then started applying his makeup.
Tonight, I'll be the first to eat this liar alive!
Zhou Yize slowly stood up, his hands stiff as he walked out, his steps unusually slow, just like the Guiding Souls who had followed the bridal sedan chair away the night before.
"A sixth person has appeared too."
Jiang Nuo murmured, "It seems the Ghost King will only appear once the wedding begins."
Clatter
The sound of the bottle hitting the ground brought Jiang Nuo back to her senses. She saw Si Yan standing there looking aggrieved, still heartbroken because of what had just been said.
Although Si Yan knew it was all fake just now, and he had received Jiang Nuo's gaze, hearing Jiang Nuo say those words to his own ears was more painful than being torn to pieces.
Jiang Nuo instinctively reached out to comfort him, but was instead pulled into a tight embrace, so suffocating he almost couldn't breathe.
Si Yan held the person in his arms tightly, his breathing heavy, his arms almost using all his strength.
I tried desperately to forget everything I had just heard, but the more I tried, the clearer it became.
" Nuonuo, it's fake! Tell me, tell me yourself, everything you just said is a lie."
They were stubbornly insistent, as if they wouldn't give up until they heard it with their own ears.
Jiang Nuo managed to free her arms, hugged him, and patted his back. "Okay, okay, it's all fake!"
"I don't like him. If I hadn't said that, one of us would have died."
Among the guests, only he and Si Yan could be described as having a complicated love-hate relationship. Coincidentally, Zhou Yize was bewitched by the Ghost Bride and tried to choose a sixth person from among them.
"I know... but it just hurts."
Si Yan's expression fell, and she murmured, " Nuonuo... even if it's fake, you can't say that anymore."
"My heart can't take it."
"Alright, then I'll reluctantly agree?"
Jiang Nuo pinched his cheek, deliberately keeping a straight face, and said, "Don't push your luck, I haven't forgiven you yet."
Si Yan lowered her head, her melancholy burying itself in Jiang Nuo's neck. "A cold war is fine, as long as no one else comes along."
"I'll ask Grandpa to figure something out after this variety show ends."
[ Si Jiaojiao has appeared! So cute and so pitiful!!]
It's all a misunderstanding; they're just shamelessly predicting a stable and happy future!
At times like this, I just want to make a promise O_o
The Ghost Bride behind them. "..."
Can't you show me any respect?! I'm pregnant! I can't stand seeing you two being all lovey-dovey!
She glared out the window, her face darkening.
Why isn't it dark yet?
Jiang Nuo noticed his gaze, and he also glanced out the window.
Now we need to find a seventh person to become Guiding Souls as soon as possible in order to find the Ghost King and escape from here.
" The Guiding Souls reached the seventh person, who fell from the high platform and revealed his true form..." Who could this be referring to?
As if knowing what he was thinking, Si Yan whispered in his ear, " Lin Yu's sudden resurrection is strange."
He lowered his voice, Jiang Nuo, after hearing it, seemed to understand something. "You're right, I need to go and take a look."
Releasing her embrace, Jiang Nuo kissed Si Yan's cheek. "Stay here obediently. The Ghost King Illusory Realm has its own unique order. The female ghost shouldn't make a move during the day. It's safe here."
"... Okay, then I'll wait for you to come back."
Si Yan bit her lip lightly, and a few glimmers of light finally appeared in her dull eyes.
Ghost Bride: "... I'm not deaf."
Watching Jiang Nuo leave, Si Yan coldly looked up, ignoring her, and continued to play with the brush on her own.
" Nuonuo likes me? You were just talking nonsense."
The Ghost Bride was so angry that her beautiful face contorted, and her stomach twitched several times.
Meanwhile, Jiang Nuo inquired with several villagers and eventually found out the task Lin Yu was in charge of.
Pick locust leaves for the Ghost Bride and put them in her coffin.
There was only one lush locust tree in the village, near the stream, its branches growing strangely, like a menacing monster.
Moreover, the terrain here is strange; on one side is a stream, and on the other side is a deep pit that is seven or eight meters deep.
Jiang Nuo glanced at the deep pit, then silently looked at the person under the locust tree, who seemed to be doing something.
Lin Yu noticed someone approaching, immediately lowered his sleeves, and turned around warily.
What are you doing here?!
Jiang Nuo mimicked his tone, not answering but asking in return, "And what are you doing?"
He laughed, "You're not Lin Yu, are you? He's not as cautious as you."
Lin Yu's expression was cold and stern. "None of your business."
A red string appeared in Jiang Nuo's hand, which was behind his back. He twirled it around his fingertips and said, "No matter who you are, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, the branches of the locust tree behind Lin Yu seemed to come alive, twitching wildly in the air as if trying to entangle him.
Lin Yu dodged the locust tree branches. With Jiang Nuo there, he couldn't directly use the power of the Ghost King within him, otherwise he would definitely be discovered.
The coffin under the locust tree opened its lid without any wind, revealing a skeleton inside.
This approach is clearly not intended for Ghost Bride.
Lin Yu noticed the coffin, then glanced at Jiang Nuo watching the scene from the corner, and a plan formed in his mind.
He rushed towards the coffin, and Jiang Nuo quickly stepped back. Watching his nimble figure grow more determined, she guessed what he was doing, but then suddenly realized that he was actually charging straight towards her!
He swung the red rope in his hand, but Lin Yu, who had anticipated his use of the red rope, dodged it instantly. Both of them were pulled into the attack range of the locust tree branches.
Jiang Nuo's expression changed slightly, and a hint of ruthlessness appeared between his brows. After being pulled into the attack range, the red rope immediately bound Lin Yu, and they once again unanimously wanted to throw him into the coffin.
"You know me quite well."
Jiang Nuo's tone was smiling, but there was no hint of amusement in his eyes, which were rather terrifying. "But when it comes to underhanded tricks, I probably can't compete."
He gripped Lin Yu's head tightly, his palm gleaming with dark patterns. "No matter who you are, now that you're Lin Yu and the seventh Guiding Souls, you're going to die whether you like it or not."
"Yeah."
Lin Yu knew Jiang Nuo's every little move all too well. The silver needle that should have been on the back of her head was tucked into her sleeve, and for a moment the two were evenly matched.
In the end, Jiang Nuo came out on top.
He grabbed the swaying vines in the air, used the momentum to land, and directly knocked Lin Yu into the coffin. Then, with lightning speed, before Lin Yu could react, he completely closed the coffin lid and affixed the suppressing talisman in one swift motion.
