Bizarre Marriage: I am the Bizarre Emperor, and my wife is a sweet and gentle school beauty.

Chapter 152 Wandering in the Ghostly City of Fengdu: Even in a Strange World, You Have to Take the Civil Service Exam?

hum!
A white light appeared before their eyes.

Yun Zhenyue steadied herself and looked around, exclaiming in surprise, "What a huge city!"

She was in the middle of an unfamiliar street.

The setting sun, like blood, bathed the entire eerie city in a thick, dark red hue.

The red fog in the city grew thicker and thicker, to the point that it obscured visibility.

The streets are lined with all sorts of strange and unusual shops.

Not far in front of Yun Zhenyue.

A strange tavern was bustling with customers. Dim paper lanterns swayed in the wind, casting distorted shadows, and the owner greeted them with a smile at the door.

She saw something strange as the people wandered the streets and alleys.

Vendors riding tricycles and farmers selling their own fruits and vegetables.

The sounds of hawking and bargaining echoed throughout the street.

A huge, peculiar mountain lies behind the ghost city.

Despite being shrouded in red mist, the distant scenery could still be barely seen.

It's bigger than all the dungeons Yun Zhenyue has experienced before combined!

but
There's one thing that's different from what Yun Zhenyue thought.

At first, she thought Fengdu Ghost City was an ancient city.

did not expect.

This is actually a fairly modern city.

The city lord must be a strange figure from the Dragon Kingdom?
"Grandpa, how much is a skewer of candied hawthorns?"

Yun Zhenyue saw an old man selling candied hawthorns standing in the corner and asked him something with interest.

"1 Ghost Coin"

The old man did not look down on Yun Zhenyue just because she was human, but treated her equally and spoke in a low voice.

"I want one, take this one!"

Yun Zhenyue bought a candied hawthorn.

We strolled around this eerie city while eating.

soon.

She discovered the unusual nature of this strange city.

This eerie city seems to have a unique set of operating rules.

The supernatural does not allow reckless actions that could harm people.

At least along the way, Yun Zhenyue passed by various restaurants, small clinics, and schools.
Neither the remnant soul nor the red-clothed figure deliberately made things difficult for her.

This was something she had never imagined before.

The person who made this rule must be the city lord, right?

He must be very powerful, otherwise he wouldn't be able to make all the strange creatures obey him.

Yun Zhenyue's legs were aching from walking, and finally she learned from a kind stranger who was passing by that if she wanted to obtain an official position in the Ghost City, she had to register for the exam at the examination hall in the city center.

Yun Zhenyue was stunned when she heard this.

She's actually preparing for the civil service exam in real life!
I never expected that I'd have to take a civil service exam after arriving in this bizarre world.

Does it also include a written test and an interview?
"By the way, today is the last day to register. If you miss this opportunity, you'll have to wait until next year!" the eerie creature kindly reminded him.

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhenyue's eyes widened, and she forgot all about finishing her candied hawthorn.

After popping the last two into his mouth, saying thank you, he immediately started running towards the city center.

However, they hadn't run very far.

boom! !

Because she was running too fast, she accidentally bumped into something strange!
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, are you alright?"

Yun Zhenyue bumped her head, but felt no pain at all, as if she had hit a piece of cotton.

She quickly went to help the strange creature.

After helping the strange creature up, Yun Zhenyue's eyes lit up instantly!
"So beautiful~"

She murmured to herself.

She was a girl with black hair and red eyes, a head shorter than him.

Her raven-feather-like long hair cascaded down to her waist, her red eyes were like pure amber, and her skin was like thin porcelain with pale blue veins winding through it.

It was just a matter of getting knocked down and standing up.

The girl remained silent.

It resembles a finely crafted doll.

He appeared extremely taciturn, and his face never showed any expression, making it difficult to guess what he was thinking.

Like those emotionless, aloof girls in anime?

Lost in thought, Yun Zhenyue hurriedly asked, "Are you injured anywhere?"

"."

The red-eyed girl shook her head upon hearing this.

"That~"

Yun Zhenyue stared blankly at the girl. Could she be deaf and mute?

"Can't you speak?"

"Sorry, I didn't mean to bump into you. I'm in a bit of a hurry; I need to register for today's exam."

Upon hearing this explanation, the girl raised her head, her pupils shifting slightly.

Then, in a very soft voice, she said, "I'm fine, you can go."

Did she just speak?

If Yun Zhenyue hadn't observed carefully, she probably would have thought she had misheard.

So you're a normal person after all!
Yun Zhenyue breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't just leave it at that.

You can see that the girl's fingertips seem to have some scratches.

Yun Zhenyue was about to use her purifying hand to heal the girl's injuries.

But the latter immediately took a step back, seemingly very wary.

There's really no other way.

Yun Zhenyue could only invite, "Are you free today? If not, come with me to the exam center in the city center. After the exam, I'll accompany you to the hospital for treatment, and you can make any requests you may have."

"."

The red-eyed girl did not answer.

She seemed to be thinking about something.

Finally, she looked up and introduced herself: "My name is Xiaoying."

Ten minutes before the registration deadline!

I finally arrived at the examination hall in the city center.

"Fortunately, I caught up."

A few beads of sweat appeared on Yun Zhenyue's forehead.

Xiao Ying, who followed behind her, was completely at ease, without breaking a sweat, her face neither flushed nor her heart skipped a beat.

And it was all thanks to Xiao Ying who led the way!
He seemed quite familiar with this eerie city.

With clouds as my pillow and moon as my pillow, I passed through several narrow alleys.

Finally, they took the strange bus to the examination hall.

However, a small incident occurred along the way.

Yun Zhenyue encountered a bizarre robbery on the road.

But all the strange creatures ran away as soon as they saw Xiao Ying.

Although I know relatively little about Xiao Ying.

But Yun Zhenyue could still sense that her identity seemed to be more than just a simple one.

However, Yun Zhenyue was too lazy to think about it deeply.

After all, wherever there are people, there will be conflict.

Under the absolute rule of the city lord, it is only natural that there are those who resist.

at the same time.

Looking at Xiao Ying, the red-eyed girl who had been abducted by Yun Zhenyue.

The audience in China were all amazed.

How come Little Yueyue always manages to steal other people away during missions?

[That's probably her personal charm.]

[Damn, these jobs in this eerie city require exams? It's just like in real life.]

[That can't be right, Fengdu Ghost City has rules, so why is there still robbery?]

[It seems some veteran players have mentioned that there's a rebellious organization called "Embers" within this Ghost City. Their goal appears to be to return the Ghost City to a chaotic society, as they crave the survival-of-the-fittest mentality found outside.]

[What the hell? Are they crazy? If they want to exploit the strong, why don't they just leave?]

Who knows? Maybe they're all a bunch of crazy people who went insane because they couldn't pass the civil service exams.

"Wait a moment, I'll go register."

Yun Zhenyue took a breath.

He said to the little oriole beside him.

"Ah."

Little Oriole nodded.

His scarlet eyes watched Yun Zhenyue's departing figure.

She is actually the sister of the leader of the Embers.

He rarely speaks.

It was also because her older sister was worried that her pure heart would be deceived.

She was just about to complete a task assigned by the organization.

As a result, he was accidentally knocked down by Yun Zhenyue.

Xiao Ying is not good at refusing others, so she had no choice but to be dragged along.

But she didn't think Yun Zhenyue could pass the exam.

The chances of passing the exam and becoming an official in the Ghost City on the first try are almost zero!

To become an official in the Ghost City, one must pass rigorous written and oral examinations.

They also have to go through several rounds of screening to ensure they won't betray the city lord.

Yu Jin also had the idea of ​​winning over the officials of Guicheng.

Unfortunately, almost all the officials looked down on the embers, regarding them as a group of rats living in the sewers.

She had taken the exam three times, but each time she was far from passing!

A human, who appears to have just entered the ghost city.

How could I possibly pass the exam?
