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

Chapter 35 Darling, Protect Me

Behind Su Hongyi, a gigantic phantom that blotted out the entire sky slowly emerged.

She was also dressed in red.

But that red robe was woven from the deathly silence of billions of stars and the churning of a sea of ​​blood.

That face, blurry and indistinct, yet capable of captivating the soul with a single glance.

That is Su Hongyi's true form.

A similarly enormous, blood-red demonic hand, composed entirely of the concepts of pure destruction and annihilation, extended from the Dharma body.

It ignores spatial distance and dimensional barriers.

He directly probed into that space of flesh and blood, and with one swift motion, grabbed the monster's main body, which resembled a mountain of flesh.

"No--!"

The monster let out a mournful, desperate spiritual roar.

The ghostly hand slowly tightened.

"Pfft."

There were no earth-shattering explosions.

It's like crushing a ripe tomato.

The powerful Lord of the Ghost Realm, who had occupied this place for hundreds of years and devoured countless souls, along with the flesh and blood space where it hid, was crushed into a pool of pure nothingness.

All its power, all its resentment, all its traces of existence were erased.

The root cause has been solved.

The terrifying Dharma image behind Su Hongyi slowly dissipated.

Her gaze shifted from divine indifference back to her affection for Lin Che.

However, without the support of its master, the Ghost Realm could no longer be maintained.

The real collapse has begun.

The sky turned into quicksand and fell, the earth cracked into countless fragments and sank into darkness.

Teaching building, administration building, canteen, playground —

Everything was rapidly turning into dust.

An apocalypse has arrived.

Lin Che stood on the shrinking ground, looking at the devastating scene around him, without a trace of fear on his face.

He simply reached out and pulled Su Hongyi back into his arms, tidying her slightly disheveled temples.

"I'm sorry, my husband."

Su Hongyi leaned against his chest, her voice tinged with grievance and unease.

"I think I've ruined your new house."

"It's okay."

Lin Che smiled, lowered his head, and kissed her forehead.

"Oh no, let's just steal another one."

[Ding! Your partner Su Hongyi has completely annihilated the SS-rank Ghost Realm Lord, Thousand-Faced Remains. You have gained 50000 experience points!]

[Ding! Your level has increased to LV8! All attributes have been greatly improved!]

[Ding! Your partner's emotions have stabilized after a period of intense fluctuation. The "playing hard to get" effect has been triggered, and you have received a special reward: the nascent realm of [Red Dust]!]

【Red Dust】: Centered on the host, a realm shrouded in the mortal world unfolds. Within this realm, you and your partner will gain absolute control over the environment.

The last piece of land beneath our feet has also turned into nothingness.

Lin Che held Su Hongyi in his arms as their bodies plunged into endless darkness.

But the next second, the light in front of me changed.

My feet were firmly planted on the ground again.

A whiff of air mixed with the smell of dust and mildew rushed into my nostrils.

They returned to the real world.

Before me was a long-abandoned school classroom, with desks and chairs overturned and covered in thick dust. Moonlight streamed through the broken windows, casting a few cold, silvery rays.

This is the real-world anchor point of that eerie realm of the "Top Private High School".

The Ghost Realm was destroyed, and the anchor point lost its function, turning into an ordinary, abandoned building.

it's all over.

Lin Che stood in the center of the abandoned classroom, his feet on the solid concrete floor.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of dust and rotting wood.

Moonlight streamed in through the broken window frame, casting pale streaks on the ground.

Everything has returned to reality.

Su Hongyi in his arms stirred and raised her head. Her phoenix eyes, which had regained their clarity, held a hint of unease.

"My husband, our new home—"

She was referring to the eerie realm that she had just crushed with her own hands.

Lin Che smiled, reached out, and tucked a stray strand of hair from her forehead behind her ear.

"It's just a run-down school, what's there to regret?"

"Your safety is more important than anything else."

His voice was gentle, as if he were soothing a frightened kitten.

[Ding! Your comforting actions have pleased your partner, Su Hongyi, and her mood index has increased by 10!]

[Ding! "Eating a Soft Rice While Holding a Hard Position" effect triggered, your Spirit Power permanently +20!]

The system notification sound made Lin Che's smile widen even more.

Destroying an SS-level Ghost Domain in exchange for my wife's good mood and attribute bonuses—this deal is a steal!

He was preparing to leave the abandoned, dilapidated building with Su Hongyi.

Just then.

A cold, emotionless mechanical voice boomed across the entire real world, not in my mind.

[Announcement: The "mysterious domain" at Private No. 1 High School has been completely eradicated.]

[Removal method: brute force.]

[Purger's identity: ???]

Overall rating: SSS rank!

[Generating completion rewards based on evaluations]

The voice was loud and majestic, carrying an unquestionable power of authority.

As the sound faded.

The world before Lin Che's eyes had undergone a dramatic change.

The classroom roof disappeared like a transparent phantom.

In its place lies the deep night sky.

A massive, blood-red "SSS" mark, composed of countless mysterious runes, hung high in the sky, emitting a chilling red light that stained the night sky for miles around with an ominous crimson hue.

Followed by.

A beam of pure black light tore through the night and descended from the sky.

Its target was precisely the classroom where Lin Che was.

The beam of light was thick and filled with an aura of destruction and end, but it became gentle the moment it touched Lin Che and Su Hongyi.

It did not cause any damage.

The light dissipated.

Something new appeared on the ground in front of Lin Che.

It was a fist-sized, pitch-black, multifaceted crystal with countless star-like points of light flowing across its surface.

It floats silently in mid-air, and every slight pulsation creates ripples in the surrounding space.

[Ding! Detected the Ghost Bead of "Thousand Faces' Remains," an energy core with an extremely high concentration!]

[Item Description: This is a crystallization of the lifelong resentment and power of the SS-rank "Thousand-Faced Remains, Lord of the Ghost Realm," after its fall. It contains immense primordial ghost power; directly absorbing it can significantly enhance one's ghostly rank.]

[WARNING: This item possesses extremely violent energy. Forcibly absorbing it, unless you are an S-rank or higher Ghost King, has a 99% chance of resulting in your soul being completely destroyed!]

Lin Che ignored the system's warning.

In his eyes, there was only this ghost bead that represented a massive amount of experience points.

He turned to Su Hongyi and said.

"My dear, protect me."

"it is good."

Su Hongyi didn't ask why, she just nodded obediently.

She stepped forward, blocking Lin Che's path, and slightly opened the red paper umbrella that had somehow reappeared in her hand.

An invisible barrier completely enveloped this small classroom.

Lin Che took a deep breath, no longer hesitated, reached out and grabbed the floating ghost bead.

"boom!"

An indescribable surge of violent power flowed down his arm and into his body.

It was an energy torrent formed by the resentment, despair, and pain of thousands of souls, combined with hundreds of years of yin energy.

It was like a ferocious beast that had broken free of its shackles, raging and crashing inside Lin Che's body, tearing him to pieces.

Black cracks appeared on Lin Che's body and skin, making him look like a piece of porcelain about to shatter.

The excruciating pain shot straight to my soul.

But a hearty smile appeared on his face.

"Good timing!"
