She slowly opened her eyes underwater.

It’s weird.

In reality, she can't swim at all, let alone open her eyes underwater like this.

This wonderful feeling is, of course, thanks to the system.

I don't know when, but the bathroom door was opened.

Miss Ghost King, who was secretly observing the situation inside, could only see the bubbles above the bathtub and not Su Yu. She immediately screamed in terror:

"Ah!!! Xiaoyu has drowned! Ryoko, Ryoko, come quick and save her, ahhhhh...!"

Su Yu: "..."

No, no, let me explain, I'm still alive.

Look at me, my eyes can even move!

However, Miss Ghost King didn't have time to listen to any of her explanations and rushed up to pull her out of the bath.

"Stupid fox, come quick and save me!!"

229. I don't want to memorize anything, I just want to sleep!

Su Yu was forced to listen to the Ghost King's wailing and oaths.

"I swear, I really haven't hidden anything from my wife!"

"I swear, I have never been unfaithful, I only love my wife!"

"I swear, from now on I will answer every question my wife asks!"

Su Yu: "...You don't need to do that."

What an overwhelmingly flattering experience!

If I keep making these vows to her, she'll get carried away and start overthinking things.

The Ghost King held her icy little hand and asked earnestly and carefully, "Xiaoyu, could you please stop scaring me like that? You can have anything you want, and you can marry as many as you like..."

Su Yu's lips twitched: "I'm not as bad as you think."

How many can she marry?!

Besides, with her current state of mind focused solely on her career, how could she possibly marry one man after another?

"Little Rain, boohoo..."

The Ghost King, who had only been putting on an act, actually started crying now.

"I admit my mistake, I apologize, please don't die..."

Su Yu took a deep breath and said, "If you keep crying, I might really die."

"Then I won't cry."

As for Ms. Ryoko, who was also greatly frightened, he quietly took her pulse and treated her.

She didn't have the same exaggerated expression as the Ghost King.

She's not good at expressing her love in a loud and garrulous way.

She simply squeezed Su Yu's hand secretly.

When Su Yu turned to look at her, she quickly let go of her hand, pretending that nothing had happened.

"You two are so weird."

Su Yu couldn't help but mutter a complaint under her breath.

"He doesn't act like a big shot at all now."

Miss Ghost King snorted and said, "I don't want to be any big shot."

Ryoko, who had been silent, was kicked across the bed by her.

Ryoko could only agree, "Yeah, yeah, she doesn't want to be the boss."

Seeing that the Ghost King noticed something was wrong with her gaze, she had no choice but to change her words.

"Yeah, yeah, I don't want to be a big shot either."

……

……

So, Su Yu, who was being well taken care of by two big shots who didn't want to be big shots, slept until the afternoon of the next day.

When I woke up, there were snacks on the table, along with tea at just the right temperature, and an absurdly thick book of city lord's rules.

She quickly closed her eyes again, hoping she wouldn't have to memorize anything.

However, it was too late to close your eyes now.

Miss Ghost King immediately took action and pulled her off the bed.

"Xiaoyu, this is something you have to do. Get up and do it now."

"I don't want to! I don't want to be a city lord! I want to sleep!"

Su Yu was as stubborn as a live fish.

"Please, let me go! I don't seem like the kind of person who can stay in this city lord position for long!"

However, begging for mercy was of no use.

Miss Ghost changed her shoes and clothes, then carried her to the desk before combing her messy hair.

"I asked you to help me take a bath yesterday, but you didn't, so I let it go! Can you be a little more obedient now, baby?"

Miss Ghost King tugged at a strand of her hair and carefully tucked it into the hair tie.

"Becoming the city lord and keeping this position will be very beneficial to your future."

benefit?

Su Yu didn't care about such a small benefit.

All she wants to do right now is run away; she has no other thoughts.

She only calmed down after Ryoko told her the truth.

"Once you become the city lord, you only have two paths to choose from."

Ryoko raised her finger and made a two.

"The first option is to honestly fulfill the duties of the city lord and enjoy this honor."

"The second option is death."

Su Yu's heart skipped a beat.

Thinking of Jiang Zhenli's fate, a faint sense of fear arose in her heart.

"If you can't recite the city lord's rules, or if you do something that violates them, you'll be haunted by vengeful ghosts." Miss Ghost patted her shoulder: "Xiaoyu, you don't want to have nightmares every day, do you?"

Su Yu: "I..."

Of course I don't want to!

But can those vengeful ghosts really get past the encirclement of these powerful figures around her and kill her?

She had serious doubts about this.

Although she had serious doubts about this, Su Yu decided to honestly stop giving up and accept her fate.

With a look of deep resentment on her face, she turned to the first page of the City Lord's Rules.

I don't know if the guy who compiled this book has a grudge against couples, but he actually wrote on the first page: "If you want to become stronger, the first thing to do is to cut off all feelings and love."

Not only Su Yu saw this sentence, but Liangzi and the Ghost King also saw it.

They both showed expressions of disgust, which was rare for them.

"This book must have been written by a perpetually single man."

"Otherwise, they're just old bastards who've been abandoned hundreds of times."

Su Yu rubbed her forehead: "I feel like I've been shot in the knee."

Having been abandoned hundreds of times, I'm pretty much one of those old bastards now...

"Anyway, let's start by memorizing the text."

Ryoko calmly took out a pill and held it to Su Yu's lips.

"Eating this can improve memory."

Su Yu glanced at it and naturally took it and ate it.

The taste is somewhat similar to the large hawthorn pills we used to eat as an appetizer; it's quite delicious.

"Then mine should work even better."

Miss Ghost King also took out a pill and held it to Su Yu's lips.

"Try it?"

Su Yu didn't hesitate either, and took it and ate it.

The taste of this meatball is somewhat similar to that of a milk hard candy.

It feels like the food they gave her was just snacks.

Su Yu silently read the rules aloud, and after finishing, she closed the book...

In my mind, the contents of the book actually appeared clearly.

It seems these meatballs are more than just snacks.

However, this super memory effect only lasted for less than an hour before it almost disappeared, and in that hour, Su Yu only remembered less than one-tenth of the content.

To memorize all these books completely, I'd probably have to eat meatballs until I'm stuffed!

Su Yu slumped down dejectedly.
