Eighteen Ghost Emperors of my ancestors, how dare you make me live in terror?

"I...I cleared the game!"

Ghost High School.

Everyone looked at the churning, turbulent clouds overhead and sensed an unusual atmosphere.

All eyes turned to the two figures standing quietly at the end of the playground.

Ling Xin'er.

Lu Ye.

"They actually cleared the A-rank vengeful spirit dungeon alive...!"

"And two people survived at once!"

"Ling Xin'er must have a protective ghost artifact on her, so it makes sense that she was able to pass the level safely."

"But that guy named Lu Ye... what makes him so special?"

"Just lucky?"

Have you ever seen anyone survive an A-rank dungeon by sheer luck?

"Never seen it before..."

Discussions rose and fell.

In contrast, the teachers at Ghost High School were in a much better mood.

"This must be the only time in over a decade that I've survived clearing an A-rank Abyss difficulty dungeon on my first attempt at adulthood, right?"

"Heh, from today onwards, my Ghostly High School will at least receive a lot of attention."

"That guy named Lu Ye..."

"Huh? Headmaster? When did you arrive?"

As the teachers were talking in hushed tones, they suddenly noticed an elderly man in black standing silently in the corner.

"A bizarre A-level instance appeared on my coming-of-age day; I have to come and check it out."

The old man in black was not arrogant at all and waved his hand.

"It's alright, just pretend I'm not here. Let's see what kind of reward these two little guys get in the end."

award........

This brought our attention back to the playground.

Clearing an A-level eerie dungeon will at least reward you with a C-level ghost-controlling ability, and you might even get a ghost artifact!

Don't be fooled by the seemingly low reward of a C-rank reward; it's actually quite significant for a newcomer who's just come of age and is entering a bizarre dungeon for the first time.

This starting point is already high enough!

Each Ghost Master can acquire far more than one ability; they can obtain even more by clearing various eerie dungeons.

The acquired abilities condense into strange patterns on the body, with the highest level among them being used to classify the abilities.

Simply put, a B-rank Ghost Master will have many Ghost Marks on their body, such as D-rank, C-rank... and can also use these Ghost Mark abilities.

But the highest grade among them must be B.

"There's movement!"

The atmosphere in the arena suddenly shifted.

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Ling Xin'er.

.........

[The bizarre dungeon has been cleared and the results are in.]

[Instance Name: Ghost Marriage - Ten Miles of Red Dowry]

[Rank: A-level Vengeful Ghost Series]

[Difficulty: Hell Level]

[Plot involvement: 72/100]

[Dungeon Exploration Progress: 20/100]

[A strange connection has been established: the ghost in the wedding dress; correlation level: medium.]

.........

【award:】

[Rank A Anti-Demon Ability: Wedding Dress]

[Level 2 Ghost Artifact: Red Silk.]

[Level 2 Ghostly Artifact: Bell.]

.........

Haodang's voice echoed in Ling Xin'er's mind.

She slowly opened her eyes, feeling the newly generated, surging ghostly energy within her body.

"A-rank ability to control supernatural beings, huh...?"

Even someone as aloof as her couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in her eyes.

She had previously offered up the pair of earrings she carried in exchange for the identity of a "dowry maid," and had been accompanying the ghost in the wedding dress ever since.

During this period, they naturally encountered many life-or-death crises, which were eventually resolved one by one.

But I never expected that such a high level of participation would result in such a top-tier reward.

Ling Xin'er had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

Because the maximum reward for an A-level eerie dungeon is the A-level ability to control eerie creatures.

Although she tried very hard to participate in the storyline, she didn't actually do much...

In other words, she is actually somewhat unworthy.

Why?

Ling Xin'er gently raised her hand and lowered her head.

The sleeves of her bright red robe, embroidered with mandarin ducks, were pulled down a bit, revealing her fair wrists.

On her wrist was a mark resembling a red silk ribbon.

As soon as the thought arose, the red silk began to wriggle as if it were alive, dancing in mid-air like a small snake.

On her left ankle, a bronze bell, strung with a red string, would ring melodiously with the slightest movement.

【Red Silk】

Level 2 Ghost Artifact.

Effects: wraps around the neck, binds the body, drags on the ground.

[Ringing a bell]

Level 2 Ghost Artifact.

Effect: A summoning medium that can summon 3 paper palanquin bearers. The bell's sound has a "soul-capturing" effect.

These are the two ghost artifacts that Ling Xin'er obtained.

The levels of ghost artifacts, from lowest to highest, are: low-level, medium-level, high-level, and then level one through level six.

Level 2 Ghost Artifact, very rare.

As for the biggest reward, it's the A-level ability to control ghosts—

Wedding dress

She's already wearing it!

........

"A...A-rank ability to control supernatural beings?"

At this moment, Ling Xin'er is how everyone sees her.

He exuded a cold and eerie aura.

Wearing a magnificent bright red wedding robe, with red silk fluttering all around, even her originally cool and light makeup was now painted with a bewitching red ensemble, making her look like a bride on her wedding day.

If it weren't for the fact that she wasn't wearing a red veil, people would definitely think that this was the female ghost in the wedding dress from the dungeon!

But what's even more amazing and shocking is—

When Ling Xin'er appeared in this wedding dress.

Behind her, an even larger, more alluring, and terrifying female ghost in a wedding dress appeared—the very same one from the dungeon!

However, it wasn't the real person; it seemed more like a projection of the A-level demon-controlling ability, "Wedding Dress."

Ring ring ring.

The clear, melodious sound of bells rang out on the wind, and many people in the room looked somewhat bewildered.

I seem to vaguely see a grand and eerie wedding procession, with an eight-bearer sedan chair...

"What a nice view........"

"He actually obtained an A-level ability to control supernatural beings. Is that the limit?"

"Truly worthy of being the second young lady of the Ling family!"

"Those red ribbons and bells must also be ghost artifacts."

"I'm so envious. He got an A-rank on his first try and even obtained a ghost artifact. He's destined to be someone we can only look up to from now on."

The principal, sitting in a corner of the stands, stroked his beard with satisfaction.

"Hmm, this girl will be the future genius of my Ghostly High School."

.........

The crowd sighed with admiration and envy, then their gazes gradually drifted to the figure in the center of the arena who had not yet made a move.

Ling Xin'er was watching too.

Compared to the reward she received, she was actually more curious about what Lu Ye received.

after all........

If we say she was deeply involved in the storyline...

What Lu Ye did definitely changed the plot.

The changes are a complete mess!

Suddenly.

The once noisy playground seemed to have been suddenly silenced.

Someone was speaking, but it was as if their voice was forcibly sealed inside their mouth.

A chilling wind swept across the entire venue, sending shivers down everyone's spines.

Waaah~

Immediately afterwards, a faint red mist rose from the entire Ghost High School.

Lanterns flickered in the red mist, gradually coalescing into a long dragon.

Then a wedding procession appeared from the red mist, with paper money fluttering like snowflakes, and little ghosts jumping and dancing around the eight-bearer sedan chair, playing music and singing.

"It actually triggered an unusual phenomenon?"

The principal of the Ghostly High School suddenly looked at Lu Ye.

"This is........"

Even when Ling Xin'er obtained the A-level ability to control ghosts, there was never such a commotion.

It's as if a scene from a bizarre dungeon has descended into reality!

The end of the road.

A lone figure stood there, eyes still closed.

It is Lu.

The wedding procession arrived in front of Lu Ye amidst all the banging and clanging.

stop.

Then the bridal sedan chair was lifted.

The woman in the wedding dress flew straight out and landed steadily behind Lu Ye, affectionately wrapping her arms around his waist from behind.

A joyful and touching cry came from beneath the floral veil.

"My lord~"

next moment.

Lu Ye gently opened his eyes.

The phantom images slowly melted away.

Only the alluring female ghost in her wedding dress remained, floating silently behind him.

"This is........"

The headmaster felt that aura, and his beard trembled violently.

"S-rank?"
