Weird Rules: I'm so handsome, they all want to seduce me.

Jiang Hongyi stood there, looking at the empty air, the red rose (scissors) in her hand gleaming slightly.

Su Xiaobai walked to her side without saying a word.

A while later.

Jiang Hongyi said softly, "It's over."

"Mm." Su Xiaobai nodded.

"It's really over," Jiang Hongyi said again, as if to confirm.

She looked down at the whole red rose in her hand, then put it into Su Xiaobai's hand.

"Here you go." Su Xiaobai took the rose, a little bewildered: "Senior, this is the third rose you've given me as a token of our love. I can't fit any more on my chest."

"Who told you this was a token of love?" Jiang Hongyi turned her face away, her ears slightly red. "This is... a contract."

"contract?"

"Yes." Jiang Hongyi turned around, staring at Su Xiaobai with a fierce look in her eyes, but her voice wasn't so harsh. "You kissed me, hugged me, and saw so many of my past experiences."

"so what?"

"So you have to take responsibility!" Jiang Hongyi said matter-of-factly. "We vengeful spirits... believe in cause and effect. You provoked me, so you have to take full responsibility!"

Su Xiaobai chuckled: "How can I take responsibility? Marry you?"

"Dream on!" Jiang Hongyi's face turned even redder. "It's a contract! An exclusive contract! From now on... from now on I'll be your exclusive ghost. You have to take care of me, protect me, and you're not allowed to look at other female ghosts... no, you're not allowed to look at other ghosts!"

She spoke quickly and urgently, and after finishing, she took a breath, then raised her chin with an expression that said, "Try not to agree."

The live stream chat exploded with comments like, "??????"

"What kind of development is this?"

"Is this senior... confessing her feelings?"

"No, this is signing a contract of servitude!"

"Su Shen, hurry up and say yes! This is a huge win!"

"A bizarre version of a domineering CEO's contract wife?"

Looking at Jiang Hongyi's seemingly shy yet fierce demeanor, Su Xiaobai felt all the sadness she had felt for the demise of Lu Yunshen and Shen Qinghe vanish in an instant.

He laughed, then tucked the red rose in his hand back into his bosom, placing it next to the two he had already adorned.

"Sure," Su Xiaobai said. "I'll take responsibility, but senior, I'm a picky person. Once I sign, there's no going back."

"Who wants to go back on their word!" Jiang Hongyi snorted, but her eyes were bright.

She stretched out her hand, palm up.

Su Xiaobai understood and placed her hand on it.

The moment their hands clasped together—

Buzz! A soft, crimson light rippled outwards from the two of them!

Wherever the light swept, the dilapidated playground automatically repaired itself, the collapsed walls rose again, and even the dark hole of the old school building in the distance slowly closed.

The entire Midnight Girls' Academy scene seemed to have been refreshed; all the damage and signs of battle were disappearing.

It's not about restoring it to its original state.

Instead, it... became something else entirely.

The sky was no longer perpetually dark, but had turned into the warm hues of dusk.

The dilapidated school building has become clean and tidy, the window glass is intact, and warm yellow lights are even lit inside.

Green grass grew on the playground, and clusters of red roses bloomed in the corner.

[Target: Senior in Red (Jiang Hongyi)]

[Favorability: 100/100]

[Exclusive contract successfully signed!]

[You have successfully recruited your first "exclusive partner": Jiang Hongyi (Senior Sister Hongyi)]

[Gained Ability: Physical Slash (Jiang Hongyi Exclusive)]

The rules of the Midnight Girls' Academy instance have been distorted, transforming into "Jiang Hongyi's Domain."

You can access the power of this domain at any time through Jiang Hongyi.

A series of system notifications rang in Su Xiaobai's mind.

Before he could even process what was happening, things had already changed on Jiang Hongyi's side.

The blood-stained red dress she wore became even more vibrant in color, but no longer dripping with blood; instead, it resembled the finest silk, possessing a unique and beautiful quality.

1!

The scissors (representing roses) in her hand solidified into the shape of a red rose, which she then tucked behind her ear.

Long, straight black hair; red dress; roses by her ears.

It's so beautiful it's almost unreal; seeing Su Xiaobai makes me feel all bloated.

"What are you looking at!" Jiang Hongyi said fiercely, feeling embarrassed by Su Xiaobai's stare.

"Look how pretty my girlfriend is," Su Xiaobai said with a sly grin.

"Who's your girlfriend! She's your contract partner!" Jiang Hongyi corrected, but couldn't help but curl her lips upward.

She gripped Su Xiaobai's hand tightly: "Let's go."

"Where to?"

"Go home," Jiang Hongyi said. "Go back to your world."

As soon as she finished speaking, a red teleportation array lit up on the ground beneath their feet.

The moment the light engulfed them, Su Xiaobai heard Jiang Hongyi add very quietly:

"Please guide me in the future."

Su Xiaobai gripped her hand tightly, lowered his head, and kissed her ear. "Nice to meet you, my girlfriend."

The light completely engulfed the two of them.

The last frame in the live stream showed Su Xiaobai and Jiang Hongyi embracing in the light, with Jiang Hongyi's bright red ear tips and slightly upturned lips.

The screen went dark.

Then a system message pops up:

[Su Xiaobai, the chosen one of the Dragon Kingdom, has successfully cleared the S-rank dungeon "Midnight Girls' Academy".]

[Rating: SSS]

[Rewards being processed...]

The global live stream was silent for a full ten seconds.

Then, the comments section went completely crazy.

"That's... it's over?" "SSS rating? First time ever, right?!" "Is the point just about clearing the game? The point is, he kidnapped my senior!"

"Is this some kind of weird rules show? This looks like a dating reality show!"

"Su Shen! Teach me! How can I turn a female ghost into my girlfriend!"

"China has made a killing this time!"

"While the chosen ones from other countries are still avoiding the rules, this one from the Dragon Kingdom has already started building a harem?"

"Comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable!"

In the Dragon Kingdom's strategic command center, a group of elderly experts with gray hair looked at the screen, exchanging bewildered glances.

"Um... Xiao Zhang."

An old general rubbed his temples. "Is our previously drafted 'Chosen Ones' Psychological Counseling and Post-War Rehabilitation Plan'... no longer needed?"

"It seems...yes."

The young assistant beside him looked at the replay of Su Xiaobai kissing Jiang Hongyi on the screen with a complicated expression. "Chief, we may need to draft a new plan."

"What plan?" "The 'Management Measures (Trial) for Chosen Ones to Establish Long-Term and Stable Partnerships with Strange Creatures'."

The old general: "..."

At that moment, Su Xiaobai felt his feet become solid.

He opened his eyes.

I found myself standing in a pure white settlement space.

Beside him, Jiang Hongyi held his hand tightly, and the red roses by his ear were vibrant and beautiful.

She looked around the space curiously, then looked at Su Xiaobai.

"This is...your world?"

"It's like a transit point." Su Xiaobai looked at the settlement panel that appeared in front of him, and then looked at Jiang Hongyi, who was alive and well beside him. He had only one thought in his mind.

This is a huge profit!
