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

Lin Che's heart began to pound. He abruptly looked up, staring straight ahead.

In the center of the room, beside an eight-immortal table covered with red silk, sat a figure.

The person was dressed in a phoenix coronet and wedding robes similar in style to his own, with a heavy red veil covering his head, obscuring his entire face, except for a pair of pale, slender hands resting quietly on his knees.

is her.

That bizarre situation where one has to risk their life to be "married off".

Lin Che's muscles tensed instantly, and every hair on his body stood on end.

He wanted to run, but his feet seemed nailed to the ground, unable to move. He wanted to shout, but his throat was too dry to utter a sound.

Fear, like countless cold hands, gripped him from all sides, making it difficult for him to even breathe.

It’s over.

Is this the world after death?

He was about to be devoured alive by this female monster.

The faces of those villagers and relatives flashed through his mind.

Lin Guofu, Aunt Wang, everyone in the village...

He is not willing!

He hasn't gotten his revenge yet!

Just as Lin Che's will was about to be completely crushed by fear, a mechanical voice devoid of emotion suddenly rang in his mind.

[Ding! Detected that the host has completed a wedding ceremony with an SSS-level anomaly, meeting the activation requirements.]

[The Strongest Clan Head System is activating...]

【Activation succeeded! 】

system?

Lin Che was stunned. What was this? A hallucination?

[Congratulations, host, on successfully binding to this system and becoming the sole host of the Strongest Clan Head System.]

[The purpose of this system: Make your wife happy, and you'll become stronger! As a man, you need to be assertive, and even more importantly, you need to make your woman assertive!]

[New player gift pack has been sent, please check it!]

Before Lin Che's eyes appeared a semi-transparent blue light screen that only he could see.

On the light screen, a golden gift bag is slowly rotating.

[New Player Gift Pack: Supreme Ghost Body (Beginner)!]

[Supreme Ghost Body (Beginner): Your physical structure has been initially modified, making you immune to the mental and physical erosion of most low-level supernatural entities. Now, you can walk sideways in front of supernatural entities (as long as you don't encounter anything too powerful).]

A warm current appeared out of nowhere and instantly flowed through Lin Che's limbs and bones.

The body, which had been cold and stiff from hunger and fear, regained sensation and strength. The suffocating feeling of being suppressed by the unknown entity was also greatly reduced.

Lin Che's breathing became rapid.

This is not an illusion!

He really had some kind of miraculous encounter!

[Main Quest Released: Complete the Wedding Night Quest.]

[Task objective: As the head of the household, please take the initiative to lift the bride's veil and have your first 'friendly' interaction with your wife.]

[Quest Reward: Fear Value +100, one random beginner-level Ghost Technique.]

[Punishment for mission failure: The system will determine that the host lacks the responsibility of a family head, automatically unbind the host, and reclaim the newbie gift pack.]

Looking at the task on the screen, Lin Che's face twitched.

Lift the veil?

To have a "friendly" exchange with this female ghost?

Is this system trying to make him die faster?

However, the penalty for failure is the revocation of the "Supreme Ghost Body".

He had just experienced the feeling of having power, the feeling of being in control of his own body. He didn't want to go back to being a mortal at the mercy of others.

Since we're going to die anyway, we might as well take a gamble!

Lin Che gritted his teeth and stared at the bride who was sitting still.

He held onto the armrest of the chair and slowly stood up.

With every movement, the bones made a cracking sound as they struggled to keep up with the strain.

One step, two steps...

The distance of just a few meters felt longer to him than a lifetime.

He finally walked to the table, standing one table away from the bride in red.

He could smell a faint, orchid-like fragrance emanating from her, but even more delicate and cool.

Lin Che reached out his hand, trembling, towards the red veil.

His fingertips stopped an inch from the veil.

cold.

A bone-chilling cold emanated from the red cloth, spreading instantly throughout his body along his fingertips.

What kind of face is hidden below?

Is it a green-faced, fanged creature, or is it rotting and oozing pus?

He suddenly opened his eyes, a resolute glint in them.

So be it!

He grabbed one corner of the veil and forcefully lifted it upwards!

The red silk cloth drew an arc in the air and floated down to the ground.

The face beneath the veil was now fully revealed to Lin Che.

Lin Che's breathing seemed to stop at that moment.

It wasn't as terrifying or ugly as I had imagined.

It was a face that... defies description.

Her skin was as white as snow, and under the dim red light, it had a jade-like texture. Her nose was high and straight, and her lips were a pale cherry color, devoid of any color, yet possessing a breathtaking beauty.

She kept her eyes closed quietly, her long eyelashes casting a soft shadow beneath them.

This... is the eerie thing that terrifies the entire village?

Lin Che's mind went blank.

Just as he was lost in thought, her eyelashes suddenly trembled slightly.

She slowly opened her eyes.

Its eyes showed no human emotion whatsoever.

Being stared at by those eyes, Lin Che felt as if his soul was about to freeze.

He instinctively took a step back.

But the next second, his image was reflected in those cold eyes, and an emotion he couldn't understand, an emotion that was almost obsessive, surged within them.

She looked at him, and the corners of her mouth seemed to twitch, but she couldn't form any smile.

a long time.

She parted her lips slightly, and a clear, ethereal voice echoed in the deathly silent room.

"My husband."

These two words were uttered.

An indescribable, terrifying pressure descended with those two words.

Lin Che's body stiffened, and his legs, which had just regained some strength, were instantly drained of all their power. He collapsed to the ground with a thud.

He felt as if he were not facing a person, but looking up at a snow-capped mountain that had never melted, a bottomless abyss.

The oppressive aura was so strong that he didn't even have the strength to lift a finger.

Their very souls trembled.

[Warning! Extremely unstable emotional fluctuations detected in the SSS-level eerie entity 'Su Hongyi'. The host is currently experiencing mental pressure, and her life force is being drained!]

A cold, impersonal system notification sounded in my mind.

Lin Che's vision began to darken, and he saw that the skin on the back of his hand was losing color and becoming shriveled at a visible speed.

dying!

This female ghost is trying to kill me!

What kind of bullshit system is this! What kind of supreme ghost body is this! It's utterly useless against such absolute power!

Just as Lin Che's consciousness was about to be crushed, Su Hongyi moved.

She stood up from the chair, her skirt fluttering even without wind, and slowly walked towards him.

Every step felt like it was stepping on Lin Che's heart.

The terrifying pressure increased exponentially as she approached.

Lin Che watched as she walked up to him and then slowly extended her pale, perfectly lifelike hand.

What does she want to do?
