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

Chapter 57 Husband, a guest has arrived.

Lin Che was sitting in the master bedroom on the third floor.

This bedroom, where more than one homeowner had died, has now been completely transformed.

Crimson light streamed in through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, bathing the entire room in a warm, ambiguous hue.

The air was filled with the sandalwood scent that Su Hongyi loved most.

The evil spirits that had been lurking in the villa were now playing a new role.

The zombie dressed in Qing Dynasty official robes was meticulously wiping the stair railing with its stiff fingers.

The water ghost was manipulating the water flow to wash away the dust on the window.

The headless ghost was using his head as a ball to tease the little girl in white.

Everything seemed so strange, yet so harmonious.

Su Hongyi lay on Lin Che's lap, like a lazy cat.

She was holding a tablet computer, which was playing the latest animated film, and she was watching it with great interest.

This is the second great invention of mankind that she discovered after coming to this "home," besides instant noodles.

Lin Che's fingers gently ran through her cascading long hair.

He was closing his eyes and experiencing the changes brought about by the Red Mansion.

His thoughts can encompass the entire villa.

Every tree and every blade of grass outside the villa was under his control.

He could even sense that the underground yin veins were being drawn by the power of the mansion, slowly changing their flow and drawing all the spiritual energy of the mountain towards this place.

This place is becoming a real, living ghost town.

Just then.

Lin Che's eyebrows twitched slightly.

He "saw" three figures passing through the invisible barrier surrounding the mansion and walking towards the gate.

The leader was Li Zhen.

Behind him followed a solemn-looking middle-aged man holding a wooden box covered with red silk.

There was another young man whose aura was restrained, but whose whole body exuded a dangerous aura.

They were not attacked.

Because of Lin Che, they were allowed to come in.

"My lord, we have a guest."

Su Hongyi turned off the cartoon, sat up, and tilted her head to look downstairs.

"Do you want me to eat them?"

"No need, it's a gift."

Lin Che smiled, stood up, took her hand, and walked downstairs together.

The door opened silently.

Li Zhen's breath caught in his throat once again as he watched Lin Che stroll out leisurely, and Su Hongyi, still dressed in red and so beautiful she seemed unreal.

The special envoy from the capital behind him also had a momentary lapse in concentration, but quickly regained his composure.

"Mr. Lin Che".

The special envoy stepped forward and bowed deeply to Lin Che.

He held the wooden box high in both hands.

"By joint order of the Supreme Government and the Paranormal Affairs Bureau!"

"In recognition of your outstanding contributions to the defense of Jiangcheng, and your unparalleled service to the nation and its people!"

"You are hereby awarded the 'Peerless Hero' Medal of Honor! We request that you depart immediately to accompany us to the capital to receive your investiture!"

His voice, loud and solemn, echoed throughout the villa's hall.

The ghosts that were "cleaning" all stopped what they were doing and looked over in unison.

Lin Che didn't look at the box.

His gaze passed over the special envoy and landed on the dangerous-looking young man behind him.

He smelled a scent of iron and blood on the young man, similar to that of Zhao Qingcang.

Lin Che's face remained expressionless.

He simply reached out and took the rather heavy wooden box, casually weighing it in his hand.

Then, he looked at the special envoy, who had a look of anticipation and nervousness on his face, and asked a question.

"Will meals be provided if we go to the capital?"

"Will meals be provided if we go to the capital?"

Lin Che's voice was very soft, drifting through the deathly silent hall.

The envoy holding the wooden box froze on his face.

He prepared countless lines of explanation, anticipating Lin Che's ecstasy, vigilance, and even anger.

I never imagined it would be such a humiliating, flippant question.

Does it include meals?

This is a discussion with an envoy representing the highest power of the Dragon Sparrow Kingdom about an appointment that could elevate anyone to the top in one step.

The young man behind the special envoy, the one exuding an aura of iron and blood, had his eyebrows furrowed into a knot, and his hand had unconsciously gone to his waist.

A faint but palpable killing intent locked onto Lin Che.

Li Zhen stood to the side, his legs trembling.

He tried to speak up and smooth things over, but found his throat so dry that he couldn't utter a single word.

The atmosphere was no longer tense.

It's a sign that it's about to explode.

Lin Che, however, acted as if nothing had happened, playing with the heavy wooden box in his hand, and even opened it a crack to peek inside.

A medal, carved entirely from an unknown type of warm jade, lay quietly on a red silk cloth, with four ancient seal characters engraved on it.

A peerless hero.

It's substantial and shows great sincerity.

Unfortunately, this thing has thorns.

"Mr. Lin."

The envoy finally regained his voice. He suppressed the turmoil in his heart and forced out a formulaic smile.

"You're joking. As long as you're willing to go to Beijing, you'll enjoy the highest level of treatment as a national hero, and we'll do our best to meet any of your requests."

"Any requests?" Lin Che repeated, casually closing the wooden box and tossing it to Li Zhen beside him like trash.

Li Zhen caught it in a fluster, feeling as if he were holding not a medal, but a bomb that could explode at any moment.

Lin Che's self-shine fell on the young man who exuded murderous intent.

"For example, I could make him kneel down and apologize to my wife, is that okay?"

Lin Che pointed at the young man and said calmly.

"He just scared my wife with his murderous aura."

"you!"

The young man flew into a rage, took a step forward, and a crack appeared in the floor beneath his feet.

"How dare you! Do you know who you're talking to?!"

"shut up!"

The envoy sternly stopped the young man, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

He turned his head and bowed deeply to Lin Che once again.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, it was my man who acted rashly. On his behalf, I apologize to you and your wife."

He knew very well that he could only show goodwill today, not take action.

This is the commander's order.

Once action is taken, the nature of the situation completely changes.

Su Hongyi didn't glance at them once from beginning to end.

She tugged at Lin Che's sleeve out of curiosity and whispered, "Husband, what is 'Peerless Hero'? Is it tastier than instant noodles?"

""

Lin Che patted her head: "It doesn't taste good, it's a hassle."

Their conversation wasn't loud, but it carried clearly to everyone's ears in the quiet hall.

The envoy's face twitched uncontrollably.

trouble?

This supreme honor, which countless people dream of and can bring glory to their ancestors and protect their descendants, is, in this young man's words, just a—trouble?

Just when the tension was at its peak and the atmosphere was extremely strange.

An indescribable pressure descended from the sky without warning.
