Bizarre: Forced into an arranged marriage, his wife turns out to be a demon emperor?

Lin Che's scalp tingled instantly.

Hungry?

He followed Su Hongyi's gaze.

Outside the car window, in a thick fog, a figure wearing a tattered hospital gown stood motionless, its head drooping at a ninety-degree angle on its shoulders, its pale face revealing two dark, gaping holes where its eyes should have been.

It seemed to have sensed the "tough nut to crack" of the armored vehicle and was hesitating whether to move forward.

I really want to eat it.

Su Hongyi's thoughts came again.

Lin Che's heart pounded wildly.

No!

Absolutely not here!

In front of these Dragon Group members, he'd let her go out to "eat"? Then all his pretense would be for nothing!

"What's wrong? You look terrible."

Yan Feng noticed his unusual behavior.

"I...I'm cold...and a little...I need to go to the bathroom..."

Lin Che clutched his stomach, cold sweat beading on his forehead—half of it was feigned, and half was genuine fear.

He had to find an excuse to get off the bus.

He had to meet this old lady's demands, or heaven knows if she would just go berserk right there.

Yan Feng frowned.

Need to use the restroom?

At a time like this?

He glanced at the eerie B-class building outside the car window, then at Lin Che's deathly pale face.

Perhaps it is a normal physiological reaction of ordinary people under high-intensity, strange energy radiation.

"The strange energy field ahead is stable, and the threat level is controllable."

"Number Seven, take him down there and come back immediately!"

Yan Feng eventually agreed.

"yes!"

The team member called Number Seven responded, holding his gun, and escorted Lin Che out of the car.

The moment the car door opened, a strong stench of corpses and a sinister aura rushed out.

Number Seven exuded a faint aura of masculine energy, keeping out any yin energy. He warily scanned his surroundings and urged, "Hurry up!"

Lin Che hunched his shoulders and scrambled to a patch of grass obscured by thick fog by the roadside.

Su Hongyi also floated over.

My husband, you are so good to me.

A hint of excitement lingered in her mind.

Lin Che had no time to respond to her.

He hid behind the bushes, his heart pounding in his throat, staring intently at the armored vehicle and the team member called Number Seven.

He could only pray that Su Hongyi would act quickly enough and not cause too much of a commotion.

next second.

Su Hongyi's figure disappeared from the spot.

Almost at the same moment, the B-level eerie figure dressed in a hospital gown in the thick fog in the distance suddenly stiffened.

It seemed to sense some kind of irresistible fear from the very top of the hierarchy of life.

Its drooping head suddenly lifted, its dark eye sockets "looking" in the direction where Su Hongyi had disappeared, and it turned to run away.

But it was too late.

A faint red shadow, almost invisible, appeared behind it as if it had teleported.

Su Hongyi stretched out her pale, slender hand and gently pressed it on the strange head of the patient in the hospital gown.

There was no struggle, no screaming.

Under Lin Che's watchful gaze, that B-grade eerie energy melted away inch by inch from head to toe, transforming into the purest black yin energy, which was completely absorbed by Su Hongyi's palm.

The whole process takes less than a second.

Quiet, yet efficient.

[Ding! Your wife has devoured a B-grade 'Wraith', Mood +10! Hunger -5!]

[Ding! Your wife has provided you with a trace of pure ghostly energy, increasing your 'Supreme Ghost Body' experience points by 50!]

A warm current flowed into his body, and Lin Che felt his body, which had been stiff from the cold, instantly relax.

Su Hongyi's figure reappeared beside him.

A touch of color seemed to have returned to her stunningly beautiful face, and her empty eyes appeared to have brightened a little.

She tilted her head and looked at Lin Che like a child waiting for praise.

The system's voice rang out again in Lin Che's mind.

[Ding! Random quest triggered: First Intimate Encounter!]

[Task objective: Comfort your beloved wife, kiss her forehead, and let her feel your love.]

[Quest Reward: Demon Eye (Beginner)!]

Lin Che was stunned on the spot.

Kiss...kiss her?

He glanced at Su Hongyi's face, which was unbelievably beautiful yet cold and lifeless.

Recall the bizarre scene of her devouring a B-grade monster alive.

Lin Che's Adam's apple bobbed up and down.

This is a fucking death question!

But... Demon Eyes!

This reward is too tempting.

In this bizarre world, being able to see through the strange disguises and weaknesses is like having a hundred extra lives!

It's done!

Fortune favors the bold!

"Lin Che! Are you done yet?!"

From afar came the impatient urging of Number Seven.

"Right away...right away!"

Lin Che responded, gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and reached out his trembling hand to support Su Hongyi's shoulder.

He tiptoed, closed his eyes, and quickly kissed Su Hongyi's smooth, cold forehead.

It feels icy cold to the touch, like a piece of ancient, cold jade.

[Ding! Mission complete!]

[Congratulations, host, you have received the reward: Ghost Eye (Beginner)! The ability has been automatically fused!]

Almost the instant the system notification sound ended.

Lin Che felt a cool, stinging pain in his eyes, as if something had shattered and then reformed.

He suddenly opened his eyes.

The world before my eyes has changed.

Before him, Su Hongyi's body stiffened slightly.

An unnatural crimson tinge spread from her cheeks to her ears and then to her neck.

She looked as if she had been boiled alive; her entire body, from head to toe, had turned red.

The flowers and plants within three meters of her withered, turned black, and eventually turned to ashes at a visible speed.

[Warning! Your wife's heart rate is too fast, indicating a potential energy imbalance!]

[WARNING! Please move away immediately!]

Startled by the commotion, Lin Che didn't even bother to experience the power of "Ghost Eyes" and scrambled out of the bushes.

"Alright, alright!"

He ran to Number Seven, his face still showing signs of shock.

Number Seven looked at him suspiciously, then at the patch of grass behind him that had withered instantly, and frowned.

"What happened?"

"I...I don't know, it turned into this as soon as I came out..." Lin Che said innocently.

The instrument on board No. 7 scanned that area and detected no residual energy.

"strangeness……"

He muttered something to himself, but didn't think much of it, and forced Lin Che back into the car.

Yan Feng's gaze swept over Lin Che, then over the withered grass outside the car, his eyes becoming even more profound.

"The target has mysteriously disappeared, and the yin energy field is dissipating."

"keep going."

The armored vehicle restarted.

Lin Che shrank back into the corner, closed his eyes, his heart still pounding like a drum.

So exciting.

He quietly opened one eye and used the ability he had just acquired.

Demon Eye, activate!

In an instant, his world was stripped of color, leaving only black, white, and gray.

Each of the Dragon Group members had a white flame burning on their bodies, representing life and vitality, with Yan Feng's flame being the most intense.

Beside him, Su Hongyi was a dense, impenetrable mass of pure black energy, representing supreme yin energy.

In this world of black and white, Lin Che's lips silently curved upwards.

He knew he had won.
