What to do if you're forced to marry a demon king's daughter in a horror game?

"Even the pickled cabbage noodles were sold out!"

Thinking this, Su Yu stopped a customer she didn't recognize and tried to ask him if something had happened.

The guest hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

However, after seeing the Ghost King's fierce eyes, his attitude became much more cooperative.

"You...you don't know that there's an annual market in a remote town recently?"

He said this to Miss Ghost King.

The Ghost King shook his head.

She hasn't been to the outskirts of town for almost fifty years.

Moreover, I've never heard of any large market in a remote town before.

"That's right, the market in the outskirts of town started after that mayor took office."

"Initially, it was just an exchange of goods within the ghost realm, but later it became an exchange of goods between the human world and the ghost realm."

"Human goods can fetch a high price there!"

"A regular bag of instant noodles can be worth 10,000 ghost money."

As he said this, he glanced at Su Yu again with a nervous look.

"Boss Su's shop is the only shop in the human world that we can enter and exit, so..."

"So you all come here to fleece me, is that it?"

Su Yu's words startled him so much that he knelt down with a thud.

He kowtowed repeatedly, hurriedly explaining, "We bought everything at the price you requested! There was no skimming involved, Boss Su!"

That's actually the truth.

Su Yu had no intention of making things difficult for them.

Of all the information she had just received, the one that concerned her the most was the statement, "Boss Su's shop is the only human shop we can enter and exit."

Is that really true?

"Why is my shop the only human shop that ghosts and monsters can enter and exit?"

"This! We don't know either..."

The guest was so frightened he was about to cry.

"Mr. Su, we are all legitimate customers and have never caused any trouble here!"

Seeing his tearful appearance, Miss Ghost King waved her hand impatiently, telling him to get out.

Ryoko took a serious look at Su Yu's small supermarket for the first time.

She didn't understand why this ordinary little supermarket had become a transit station connecting the ghost world and the human world.

Perhaps it was just a coincidence that the location was chosen well?

"Is the current mayor of Edge Town a human?"

The Ghost King briefly recalled some of the rumors he had heard.

"She looks like a woman who's not even forty?"

Miss Luo looked up and glanced at Su Yu.

That look in his eyes actually has a deeper meaning.

However, Su Yu did not notice.

They rested in the shop for a while, and when the time was right, they prepared to set off for the outskirts of town.

As a human-shaped teleportation array, Sosia had many opinions, but no one listened to her nagging, and no one expressed any willingness to solve her problems.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Don't go too far! What about the new trick you promised me?"

"Master, are you lying to me?"

"How could you bear to deceive a poor nightmare?"

Su Yu turned around and glared at her.

Sosia had no choice but to shut his mouth.

"We brought enough food, right?" Ryoko asked.

"Yeah, I've brought pretty much everything I could." Su Yu patted her backpack. "The supermarkets are all closed."

"Try to get as many good items as possible," the Ghost King reminded him. "The moment you step into Edge Town, you have to start following the rules and bargain hard."

Su Yu: "..."

Why is there a hint of regret in your tone?

So they really can't shake the bad habit of buying things for free!

315. Meeting an old friend in a foreign land

A town on the outskirts of the city.

This small town, as its name suggests, is located on the edge of the area.

This border region is located in the western part of the Ghost Realm.

The moment Su Yu arrived here, she even had a daze, feeling as if she had returned to the village of her childhood.

Golden rice paddies, emerald green camphor trees, and mottled asphalt roads.

Looking around, one can vaguely see some dilapidated farms and large orchards.

Everything here gave her a strange sense of familiarity.

But this is the ghost realm, isn't it?

The large red lanterns lining both sides of the road stretched into the distance.

On the dim, yellowish horizon, there was a setting sun that looked completely fake.

This place merely tries its best to imitate the scenery of the human world, but it will never have the warmth and vitality of human life.

Most of the pedestrians wore masks.

Their clothing and appearance were also very strange.

Some were dressed in modern clothes, some in ancient costumes, and some were even wearing funeral clothes.

Clearly, they are not human.

Looking at this bizarre scene, Su Yu felt a mix of emotions.

The Ghost King patted her on the shoulder: "Xiaoyu, don't think too much. That's just how the Ghost Realm is."

"Ah."

Su Yu lowered her head and continued walking forward.

Soon, the road ahead was blocked.

Instead, there was a dark, murky body of water.

Boats of all sizes were moored along the water's edge.

In the distance, a bright moon was hanging in the sky.

Under the moonlight, pavilions and towers in the style of Tang Dynasty architecture could be vaguely seen. Some heavily made-up women leaned against the railing, singing eerie songs in a low voice.

Su Yu looked back, but the sunset was already gone.

"Good heavens! Just a few steps apart, and it's like two completely different worlds?" Si Nan looked incredulous, as if he had never seen anything like it.

"What are you surprised about, you ghost? Do you think of yourself as a human?" Sosia teased.

"Before I became a ghost, I was still a human!"

As she spoke, Si Nan added angrily:

"Which of these bigwigs present hasn't tried to be a decent human being?"

The Demon King remained silent, and so did Ryoko.

But it's clear that they've all experienced what it's like to be human.

This didn't feel good, so they quickly stopped being human.

"We can call it a day now."

The market in front of us looks absolutely huge.

If you visit them all at once, it's difficult to see everything in the limited time available.

"Xiaoyu and I, you guys figure it out yourselves. Meet here in an hour."

As she spoke, she prepared to lead Su Yu to retreat.
