Rules of the Unusual: My Yandere Husband Pretends to Be Innocent Online

Xia Xiaoqin did not speak.

What Lu Yang said was correct.

While everyone else was fleeing for their lives, only Lu Yang ran towards him.

But the more genuine their past dependence on each other was, the more tiring it felt to her.

A single day in the world of ghost stories seemed more tiring than a year in real life.

Everything is a mix of truth and falsehood, it's hard to tell the difference.

"I...let me catch my breath."

Xia Xiaoqin covered her face, desperately hiding her face in despair.

Lu Yang, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly stood up, grabbed Xia Xiaoqin, and shouted.

"Xia Xiaoqin! I'm telling the truth. From beginning to end, you've been with a monster who stole my face!"

"Haven't you ever suspected Lu Yang even once?! We've been together for so long, haven't you noticed anything unusual?! He was summoned by your death livestream! Liu Ruyan told me everything!"

Xia Xiaoqin was stunned upon hearing this.

She slowly lowered her hand, turned her head, and brought her ear close to the sound.

"Death Livestream... You mean that Lu Yang was summoned by my Death Livestream?"

"I remember the death livestream, where the streamer who lit incense broke the rules and died. If that's true, then why am I still alive! I've had so many chances to be killed..."

A chill swept over her from all sides.

Xia Xiaoqin remembered what she said on the day she was broadcast live.

She said that even if she died in the most tragic way, she would never let Liu Ruyan and Lu Yang go.

Is Liu Ruyan still alive?

What would happen to me if she and Lu Yang both died?

"Ha, what a joke?! What a joke... I clearly believed he was the real Lu Yang, and those memories, those events, were all fake..."

Xia Xiaoqin suddenly reached out and grabbed the man's collar, unable to control her emotions any longer.

"Where is Liu Ruyan now? Tell me quickly! Weren't you just with Zhao Dafeng? Is she still alive?!"

Upon hearing this, the faceless man grabbed her hand.

Immediately, Lu Yang's indignant voice came from above her head.

"Xia Xiaoqin, don't worry, she's dead. I killed her myself."

"It was all because she was jealous of our relationship that I tricked you and then broadcast my death live to you! And it was because she tricked me that that monster stole my face! A woman like that deserves to die! I absolutely did not cheat on you, Xia Xiaoqin! You have to believe me!"

After speaking, the faceless man tentatively glanced at Xia Xiaoqin's expression.

But the girl's expression wasn't the relief he expected; instead, she became even more frantic, even bursting into a breakdown of laughter.

"Ha, ha...you thought that's what I was asking?! No, that's not what I'm concerned about right now!"

Xia Xiaoqin pushed the man in front of her away and covered her face, panting heavily.

"Don't you find it strange? If Lu Yang came to kill us, why did he deliberately let us go? We escaped right under his nose! How could he not catch us?"

The kitchen became deathly silent.

But Xia Xiaoqin became increasingly agitated. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

—The night is still long. Considering the death of more than a hundred people last night, it's definitely not going to be that simple tonight.

And so far, she hasn't seen a single rule; there must be something she's overlooked.

Call ~

A cold wind blew by, and the large red lantern hanging at the kitchen door swayed in the wind.

The enormous chef finally lost his temper and roared, "If you want to argue, go argue outside! Not only will you not lend me a hand, but you're making a scene right in front of me! Do you even want to keep your rooster body? I'm a doctor now; the operating room needs to be quiet. No medical disturbances allowed!"

Xia Xiaoqin was startled, then suddenly came to her senses and walked towards the chef with a worried expression.

"How is it?"

Upon hearing Xia Xiaoqin's question, the cook muttered curses as he pulled out a roll of sewing thread from behind the stove and slammed half a bottle of iodine on the table.

"Young Madam, I already told you I'm the chef! There's only this much left; whether this chicken lives or dies is entirely up to its own fate!"

Hearing this, Xia Xiaoqin was extremely anxious.

She followed the sound into the kitchen, groping her way toward the chef, her voice pleading.

"Chef, there's anything you can do to help me, I'll do anything, please don't let it die, please!"

After a moment of silence, the chef gestured for Xia Xiaoqin to touch it herself.

Feeling the rooster's warm body, Xia Xiaoqin's nose tingled with emotion.

still alive.

"Coo coo..."

The rooster crowed listlessly a few times, then squinted its tiny, beady eyes and examined its wounds.

I only glanced at it, and it swayed and almost fainted.

"It's alright now, isn't it?"

Xia Xiaoqin tentatively touched the rooster's previously injured belly, the crooked stitches on it making her heart ache terribly.

"How would I know? Your belly was ripped open, you big rooster. I just barely managed to sew it back up. As for whether you'll survive, that's all up to fate."

The chef casually wiped his hands with his apron, then picked up the cleaver again and continued chopping the minced meat on the cutting board.

Xia Xiaoqin hurriedly touched her clothes, and finally took off the earrings from her ears and handed them to the chef with both hands.

"Head Chef, I don't have anything valuable here. Please accept this and help me take care of the rooster, give it some food, okay?"

The chef glanced at the earrings and immediately beamed.

"Oh, young mistress, you're too kind! Please forgive my rudeness just now!"

"And you really are a blessed person! There's a curfew tonight, and no one would survive if they encountered that female ghost that came out of the well. I don't even dare to go out! How come you managed to survive with this chicken? This chicken must have survived by sharing in your good fortune."

The moment she finished speaking, Xia Xiaoqin abruptly grabbed the chef's hand, which was about to take her earring.

The chef gaped, unable to believe that the other party had gone back on their word.

But Xia Xiaoqin released her grip again, her tone anxious: "Head Chef, I actually have another question for you. What does 'curfew' mean?"

The chef looked at the girl with a puzzled expression, but still began to explain.

"Young Madam, today is the anniversary of the death of our former, former, former young mistress. So Old Madam Lu has specially ordered that no member of the Lu family is allowed to go out at night. After all, if we accidentally run into the one who crawled out of the well, our lives will definitely be in danger."

Upon hearing these words, Xia Xiaoqin's expression became extremely solemn.

She never imagined that the ghost bride could actually attack monsters from the world of ghost stories? And even Old Madam Lu didn't dare to come out?

Standing there blankly, Xia Xiaoqin recalled what had happened before, and her breathing suddenly became rapid!

Something is wrong!

When the ghost bride was hiding in the house, besides Zhao Dafeng, the faceless "Lu Yang", there was another henchman.

If the rules apply to the players, why weren't Zhao Dafeng and his group, who didn't attack him, killed by the Ghost Bride?

Unless—the rules of the Ghost Bride weren't designed for the players from the beginning, but for these monsters!!!

Xia Xiaoqin's forehead was covered in a fine layer of cold sweat.

The faceless man beside her stared blankly at Xia Xiaoqin's extremely anxious expression.

"Xiaoqin, is that chicken really that important to you? More important than me?"

"I've lost my face, and you don't even care! That chicken only got a cut, and you're this upset?"

Xia Xiaoqin covered her ears, not wanting to hear any outside noise, and tried her best to connect all the dots.

Two "Lu Yangs", the vow she made during her live stream, the ghost bride crying for help, jumping into the well, the rules...

At this moment, Xia Xiaoqin's face turned deathly pale.

The large red lanterns outside swayed in the wind, casting her face in a mixture of blood and sallow light.

The girl grabbed Lu Yang's clothes suddenly and spoke in a trembling voice.

"Lu Yang, you really are Lu Yang, everything you said is right..."

"That monster wearing your face tricked us!!! He didn't kill us before because it wasn't necessary, because the rule for survival tonight is to protect the ghost bride!!!"
