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

Chapter 52 Next time you encounter SS-rank items, you can handle them yourselves.

Is this a walking natural disaster that surpasses SS-level?

"What are you looking at?"

Lin Che's voice broke the deathly silence.

He pulled out a chair, sat down with an air of authority, and sat right next to Su Hongyi.

"Never seen anyone eat before?"

His tone was very impolite.

A layer of cold sweat had seeped out from Qin Shan's back.

He forced himself to look away, took a deep breath, and bowed solemnly to Lin Che.

"Mr. Lin, on behalf of the Dragon Sparrow Kingdom and the Supernatural Bureau, I thank you and your wife for your help in saving Jiangcheng."

"Get to the point," Lin Che interrupted him. "I don't have time to listen to your nonsense."

Qin Shan straightened up, his expression becoming extremely serious.

"it is good."

"Mr. Lin, we would like to know your and your wife's position."

1

"Standard?" Lin Che laughed. "My wife is hungry, so I cook for her. That's our stance. Is that clear enough?"

'

Qin Shan was speechless.

He felt that all the arguments he had prepared—diplomatic rhetoric, pros and cons analysis—had become a pile of nonsense in front of this young man.

The other party doesn't play by the rules at all.

"Mr. Lin, your wife's power is enough to influence the world order. We must—confirm her controllability." Qin Shan forced himself to state his purpose.

"Controllability?"

The smile on Lin Che's face disappeared.

He reached out, picked up the bowl of noodles in front of Su Hongyi that had barely been touched, picked up his chopsticks, and took a big bite.

Then, he raised his head and looked directly at Qin Shan.

"She only listens to me."

"Therefore, her controllability depends on me."

"And my controllability depends on your attitude."

Lin Che made his point clear.

"What do you want me to do?" Qin Shan's voice became hoarse.

"It's very simple."

Lin Che put down his chopsticks, leaned forward, and placed his hands on the table, crossed.

His eyes sharpened.

"First, from today onwards, Su Hongyi's identity is solely that of my wife, Lin Che. Any form of investigation, research, or recording is strictly prohibited. Her file will only contain four words: Family Member, Top Secret."

"Secondly, we will stay in Jiangcheng. This will be our home from now on. I don't want anyone to disturb our lives."

"third----"

Lin Che paused, looking at Qin Shan and Li Zhen.

"Jiangcheng cannot afford any more incidents. Wang Chonglou is dead, and a new person in charge is needed here."

Li Zhen's heart was in his throat.

Qin Shan's expression also turned serious.

Is this a power grab?

"I'll take responsibility."

Lin Che said something that surprised both of them.

"From today onwards, I will have full authority over all matters concerning the supernatural in Jiangcheng. The Jiangcheng branch of the Paranormal Bureau will be renamed the 'Jiangcheng Abnormal Affairs Handling Office,' reporting directly to me."

"You—" Qin Shan was shocked.

He had anticipated that Lin Che would make demands, such as wanting resources or status.

But he didn't expect that Lin Che's first request would be for absolute control of the entire city!

You can refuse.

Lin Che leaned back in his chair, his tone indifferent.

"But next time something of SS-rank quality comes knocking, you'll have to deal with it yourselves. Don't bother me."

"Besides, my wife has a bad temper. If she's disturbed, I can't guarantee what she might do."

A naked threat.

Without any attempt to conceal it.

Qin Shan's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

He looked at Lin Che's young yet domineering face, then at the red-clad woman beside him who hadn't uttered a word from beginning to end, yet who filled him with endless fear.

He knew he had no choice.

Dragon Sparrow Kingdom, there was no other choice.

"it is good."

After a long while, Qin Shan managed to squeeze out a single word from his throat.

"I agree."

"Jiangcheng, I'll leave things to Mr. Lin from now on."

He wasn't just saying that for show.

He truly entrusted himself to someone.

Because he knew that from this day forward, the safety of Jiangcheng would no longer depend on the army of the Dragon Sparrow Kingdom, nor on the Supernatural Bureau.

It all depends on the mood of the young man before them and his Ghost Emperor wife.

Lin Che, with his own power, used natural disasters to command the feudal lords.

He became the de facto king of Jiangcheng.

He became the city's sole guardian.

No.

As Lin Che watched Qin Shan's respectful departing figure, he mentally corrected the way he addressed him.

He is not a guardian angel.

He was simply a family head who wanted to protect his family.

Qin Shan is gone.

The door closed, completely isolating the chaotic world outside from the narrow space of this one-bedroom apartment.

The air still carried the oppressive aura of a superior that Qin Shan brought, as well as the faint, chilling aura emanating from his shadow guard.

But now, they've all disappeared.

Lin Che turned around and saw Su Hongyi still sitting at the dining table.

She didn't look at him or the doorway, but instead looked down at the bowl of instant noodles that Lin Che had already eaten half of, her eyes filled with a hint of grievance.

It was as if half of her most beloved toy had been taken away.

Lin Che walked over, sat down next to her, and pushed the bowl in front of her.

"Want some more?"

Su Hongyi raised her head, looked at him, then at the bowl, and gently shook her head.

"I don't want anyone to see what my husband has eaten."

As she spoke, she stretched out her slender fingers and lightly traced the rim of the bowl with her fingertips.

The entire bowl of noodles, along with the broth and fried egg, instantly transformed into the purest yin energy, rising gently before dissipating into the air.

Even that ceramic bowl turned to ashes.

Destroying the body and covering up the evidence is nothing more than this.

Lin Che's eyelid twitched.

This possessiveness is truly something else.

The room returned to silence.

Having experienced the great battle on the city wall and engaged in a high-intensity psychological battle with the old fox Qin Shan, Lin Che also felt a bit tired.

He leaned back in his chair, ready to relax.

In my mind, a cold system notification suddenly rang out without warning.

[Ding! A massive amount of high-density, unclaimed, and eerie primal energy has been detected in the surrounding area.]

[System Determination: The energy originates from the dissipation of the SS-level Mysterious Nine-Headed Bird and the divine power dissipated from the divine manifestation of Ghost Emperor Su Hongyi.]

[Absorption conditions met, initiating automatic consumption!]

Lin Che was taken aback.

Before he could react, he "saw" a strange sight.

Centered on this old residential building, an invisible force is frantically pulling at the invisible energy permeating the entire Jiangcheng.

Those are the original fragments left behind when the nine-headed bird was frightened away.

It was the ghostly energy that dissipated after countless low-level eerie things were crushed by Su Hongyi's aura.

Furthermore, Su Hongyi's hundred-foot-tall Dharma form, which existed for only a moment, permanently altered the imprint left by the rules of this space.

This energy is highly toxic and polluting to other supernatural beings or humans.

But for the system, it is the best supplement.
