My God Raising Game

Chapter 61 Beautiful Bride, My Lord, Greetings!
"Ok!"

Lu Jiuling ate his noodles, but he couldn't taste them. He wanted to ask, "When are you leaving?"

There's only one double bed in the house; there's no room for you.

The ghost bride lowered her head.

A white porcelain bowl in front of me was filled with braised beef noodles, topped with a poached egg with a slightly browned runny yolk. The aroma was irresistible, and it looked delicious.

Your cooking skills seem quite good.

The morning sunlight streamed through the glass windows and fell on the living room floor, as if a golden carpet had been laid out.

People in the neighborhood gradually got up, and you could hear the noise outside: people dropping their children off at kindergarten, going to work, and elderly people doing their morning exercises...

The atmosphere suddenly became more lively.

The ghost bride turned her head and glanced out the window, probably wanting to see what the neighborhood looked like.

“I rented this place,” Lu Jiuling explained. “I’m still in school and will be taking the college entrance exam in three months, but the principal has already promised to recommend me to a university.”

"I'm leaving here after summer vacation!"

The ghost bride listened attentively.

"Is there anything you want to say to me?" Lu Jiuling looked at Luo Yuzhen: "Don't be shy, just say what you want to say!"

The ghost bride has a wonderful figure. Even in a horse-face skirt and wide-sleeved shirt, her graceful and slender curves are visible. Paired with this bright red wedding dress, she exudes an aura of wealth and good fortune.

It immediately brings to mind two words.

She's a lucky charm for her husband!

"My lord, I have retrieved the things you left behind in the mansion for you!"

The ghost bride spoke.

"Huh? Lost?"

Did I lose something?
Lu Jiuling paused for a moment, then suddenly realized: "You mean things like gold hairpins and Buddha masks?"

The ghost bride nodded.

"..."

No,

How did you find it?

I carefully chose the burial location.

Lu Jiuling originally wanted to go and take a look as soon as possible, since he would need to use these forbidden items in the next game of gods, and he could not afford to lose them. However, being so hasty would make him seem impatient.

Without thinking much, the ghost bride got up and went into the room where Lu Jiuling's crazy roommate used to live.

Soon, she came out carrying a golden hairpin, a headless Buddha face, a Buddha intestine sword, and a golden magic bell, and placed them one by one on the dining table.

Lu Jiuling glanced at it.

It really is my own stuff, and it even looks like it's been wiped clean and looks brand new.

"Thank you so much, my lady!"

Lu Jiuling originally wanted to pick up the Buddha Intestine Sword to examine it, but after thinking about it, she picked up the gold hairpin instead: "This gold hairpin is so beautiful!"

"I didn't prepare a ring for my wife on our wedding day, and I'm sorry you had to suffer!"

Lu Jiuling sighed, trying to show some guilt and self-blame, but to be honest, he didn't act well enough.

After all, he's not a professional scumbag.

"I am content with your kind intentions, my lord!"

The ghost bride spoke sincerely; she wasn't the kind of gold digger who would ask for a house, a car, and three gold pieces, and then demand all sorts of other fees on the wedding day, like a door-out fee or a car-getting fee.

This made Lu Jiuling feel embarrassed.

I'll make it up to you in a few days!

Fortunately, Lu Jiuling had 50,000 yuan in his pocket, otherwise he really wouldn't have dared to make such a bold claim.

The ghost bride glanced at the golden bell and explained in a low voice, "When you cut someone's throat, shake this golden bell three times within ten breaths, and that person will turn into a zombie and be used by you!"

"You understand this?"

Lu Jiuling was quite surprised.

He planned to retrieve the two forbidden items and then consult the divine servants at the Council of Gods, but unexpectedly, the ghost bride knew their properties.

Moreover, these words sound very convincing, so they must be true.

"I know a thing or two!"

The ghost bride is humble.

"In addition, this bell can temporarily scare away and dispel monsters, especially zombies and undead."

"However, this bell cannot be used frequently, otherwise you will have the urge to sleep in places like mortuaries or mass graves where the dead are buried, and you will become addicted to collecting corpses, and even develop a habit of spending all your time with corpses."

The ghost bride gave instructions, her words tinged with disdain.

She clearly didn't like the golden bell, but since it belonged to her husband, she still helped retrieve it; otherwise, such an evil object would have been discarded long ago.

"I got it!"

This must be what is meant by taboo contamination.

However, in modern society, without mortuaries and mass graves, if one were to become corrupted, one would probably go to a hospital morgue or funeral home to sleep, or even steal a corpse, right?
It's terrifying to think about, and it's also disgusting.

"This golden hairpin is a family heirloom left to me by my mother. Please keep it safe." The ghost bride instructed, "If I am away from home and you are anxious to see me, then stain this golden hairpin with your blood, and I will receive your message!"

"Also, if any evil spirits try to harm your husband, you can throw out this golden hairpin to track them down and repel the enemy."

"My wife is so kind!"

Does this mean the golden hairpin is a prop for summoning the ghost bride? However, Lu Jiuling is more concerned about the phrase 'away from home'.

It seems that Luo Yuzhen will still leave.

The ghost bride fell silent, bowing her head slightly. Lu Jiuling looked at the swaying gold tassels beneath the red veil, and for some reason, he felt that Luo Yuzhen was hesitant to speak.

"My wife, we're family now. You can tell me anything, don't worry."

Lu Jiuling pursed his lips and gave a perfectly timed, slight smile. Combined with his good looks, he was not only sunny and handsome, but also incredibly approachable.

When Lu Jiuling was interviewing for jobs after graduating from university, she would smile in front of the mirror for five minutes every morning and even studied acting skills in order to cultivate good manners.

The days when you could make a name for yourself by quietly contributing and others would notice you are long gone. Now, the focus is on exposure, or traffic.

As the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face. A smile that can convey a variety of emotions is itself a business card, a way to make yourself memorable.

Lu Jiuling's mother always told him that people should smile more. If you always have a long face, your mood will become gloomy and depressed, like being soaked in the continuous plum rain, and your life will rot away.

In fact, Lu Jiuling understood that what her mother was talking about was a mindset for facing life. This was also why, after being hit by a ride-hailing car and ending up in this situation, Lu Jiuling was not pessimistic or dejected, but immediately picked up her textbooks and began to study hard.

His mother once said that standing up is always harder than lying down, so son, even if you only take one step forward, your mother will be proud of you.

"Husband..."

When Lu Jiuling heard the address change from "official" to "husband," which sounded more formal, he put down his chopsticks and sat up straight.

"My lord, I see there is a spare room over there. May I borrow it to store my dowry?"

The ghost bride's voice betrayed a hint of nervousness, clearly worried that Lu Jiuling would not allow it.

Use it freely!

The ghost bride was referring to the room where her former roommate lived; at this time of year, the landlady couldn't rent it out at all.

"Thank you husband!"

The ghost bride stood up and curtsied to Lu Jiuling.

"Why are you so polite?"

After Lu Jiuling finished eating his noodles, the ghost bride immediately reached for the bowl.

"My lord, go and rest. I'll take care of things!"

"No need, no need, I can do it myself!"

Lu Jiuling, holding the bowl, dodged the ghost bride's hand.

A pair of fair and slender right hands peeked out from the wide sleeves of her shirt, her index fingers painted with red nail polish, exuding a pure yet bright charm and a touch of sexiness that made one want to grab them and kiss them.

That day at the wedding, when they drank the nuptial wine, Lu Jiuling caught a glimpse of the ghost bride's right hand, which was incredibly beautiful. Now, seeing it again, he still felt the same way.

It's breathtakingly beautiful!

One can imagine that the owner of these hands must have enjoyed appreciating Li Qingzhao's poems, writing Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, playing the Fisherman's Song at Dusk, and copying the Fushan Spring Residence painting.

These hands have definitely never done housework before. Now that someone else is washing dishes for them, their ten fingers are constantly wet with water...

Lu Jiuling suddenly felt like he had ruined a beauty!
Aside from not being able to see her face, her graceful figure, angelic voice, refined demeanor, and delicate hands...

To be honest,
Lu Jiuling gives it a perfect score.

Hey!
What a pity, it's not human!
Lu Jiuling cleared away the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them. The ghost bride followed him, quietly standing at the kitchen door watching him work.

The atmosphere had actually become a little more harmonious.

After Lu Jiuling finished tidying up, she began to struggle with her decision.

Normally, I'd be at school, but now that I'm on a long holiday, should I go out and wander around, trying to avoid this ghost bride? Or should I stay here and try to reconnect with her?

Perhaps if we get closer, she won't corrupt herself.

"Would you like me to make you a cup of tea?"

After Lu Jiuling finished speaking, he realized that he didn't seem to have such a thing at home. After all, what would a high school student drink tea for no reason? Instant coffee would be enough to keep him awake.

"Sir, there's no need for such formalities. Please make yourself at home!"

The ghost bride stepped aside at the kitchen doorway and watched Lu Jiuling come out. She hesitated for a few seconds before speaking, "My husband, I miss my mother very much. I may have to visit my parents' home more often than usual. Please understand!"

"It's alright, go ahead and drive safely."

Lu Jiuling couldn't be happier that the ghost bride would go back to her parents' home and not come back.

and many more!

The ghost bride has a mother?
Isn't that my mother-in-law?
Would she also come to visit her daughter at her home?

Thankfully, the ghost bride didn't mention she had sisters. Otherwise, with several more sisters-in-law and ghostly creatures floating around the house, who could stand it?

Luo Yuzhen bowed to Lu Jiuling again, then walked back to her room and closed the door.

Lu Jiuling sat on the sofa, scrolling through his phone while listening intently to the sounds coming from the room.

There was a slight sound at first, like wood clattering together, then it stopped and became completely quiet.

Twenty minutes later, Lu Jiuling scratched his head.

Sitting on the hard, old sofa that hurts my bottom, listening to the clattering of high heels on the floor upstairs, and watching the little goldfish swimming carefree in the fish tank on top of the refrigerator...

To be honest, this peaceful and uneventful daily routine made Lu Jiuling wonder if he was still dreaming and that his morning encounter with the ghost bride was just an illusion. So he pinched himself hard.

hiss!
It hurts!

Lu Jiuling got up and walked towards his former roommate's room, where he tapped on the door with his finger.

dong dong!

No one answered.

Lu Jiuling knocked again!
dong dong!

Still no one answered.

"Haha, am I going insane?"

Lu Jiuling chuckled self-deprecatingly, grabbed the doorknob, turned it, and pushed open the door.
In the quiet room, besides a single bed and a desk, there was something else...

　The headless bride has arrived! I need a monthly pass as a dowry!
