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

The night wind squeezed in through the crack in the door, making the oil lamp on the stove flicker.

In the swaying light and shadow, the girl stood stubbornly in place, her slender figure stretched extremely long.

Looking at the girl in front of him, Qin Bufei finally sighed, propped himself up on his hands, took something out of his pocket, and handed it to Xia Xiaoqin.

It's that butterfly knife.

"Here you go," the boy said in a low voice, his tone somewhat helpless. "The last time I saw your boyfriend, he ran towards Grandpa Lu's bedroom. Go out from here, turn right along the wall, and go through two moon gates. But I still have to remind you, it's not worth it for someone like that."

"Sister, perhaps the person you remember is wonderful, but now, you're just clinging to outdated ideas..."

Xia Xiaoqin took the knife, her heart filled with mixed emotions, and remained silent.

At that moment, the properties of the butterfly knife unfolded in her mind.

[S-Rank Item: Butterfly Knife]

[Source: SSS-rank dungeon "The School You Can Never Escape"]

[Item Description: Offensive Item]

This item allows you to physically attack any non-human NPC in the dungeon, dealing true damage, without violating the rules.

"This, this is..."

Xia Xiaoqin gripped the butterfly knife in her hand with utter astonishment.

She hadn't expected that the butterfly knife Qin Bufei always carried was such a valuable prop.

And he was so generous in lending it to her.

"Sister, relax. I'm only lending you this valuable prop temporarily. You have to return it."

Qin Bufei lay back down, his voice returning to its previous carefree and irreverent tone.

"So go, sister, find that boyfriend you picked up from the trash heap, and come back alive to return the butterfly knife to me personally."

Xia Xiaoqin carefully tucked the butterfly knife into her sleeve and solemnly thanked Qin Bufei.

Even if it started with taking advantage of her, this eighteen-year-old boy genuinely helped her a lot.

"Qin Bufei, didn't you say that in the future you saw, we would definitely not die here, right?"

"So I will definitely try my best to survive, find the hidden rules you violated, heal you, and leave this instance with you."

Qin Bufei smiled, said nothing, but simply raised his hand as a farewell.

But as soon as he raised his hand, he realized that Xia Xiaoqin couldn't see him, so he had no choice but to put his hands back behind his head again with some helplessness.

But the rooster got anxious, squawking loudly and flapping its wings frantically, trying to stop Xia Xiaoqin from leaving.

"Ooh ooh! Ooh ooh ooh!"

Holding up a chicken wing, the rooster looked out at the heavy rain with its tiny, beady eyes, then gave the window a rather human-like pat, before giving Xia Xiaoqin's head a few hard slaps, looking as if it were disappointed in her.

The meaning is quite obvious.

The rain is so heavy, it's so dangerous, are you out of your mind?!

"I'm sorry, rooster... it's too dangerous. I can't take you with me; you're still seriously injured."

The moment Xia Xiaoqin finished speaking, Qin Bufei reached out and grabbed the rooster into his arms.

"Go early and come back early, sister."

The boy covered the rooster's beak and whispered.

Chi Chi!

The firewood flickered again.

Ashes fell from the stove with a soft rustling sound, like someone was laughing.

"..."

Xia Xiaoqin frowned, but still comforted herself that it was just an auditory hallucination. She took a deep breath and slowly walked out.

The moment she stepped outside, a torrential downpour soaked her through.

The rain outside was much heavier than she had imagined, so Xia Xiaoqin gritted her teeth, felt along the wall, and carefully moved in the direction Qin Bufei had indicated.

Coincidentally, the direction Lu Yang ultimately went was exactly the same as the direction indicated by the clues in his hand.

Could it be that Lu Yang has some kind of plan?

Thinking of this, the face of "Lu Yang" actually appeared in the girl's mind.

—Under the bright red lanterns, the groom, dressed in fine clothes and riding a spirited horse, had his sharp face divided in two by the dark red light. His handsome face was so striking that it was almost aggressive, and it was impossible to look away.

"Damn it, why did I think of him? That thing... it should be gone by now, right?"

The thought of that monster wearing Lu Yang's face still made Xia Xiaoqin feel a little scared.

After all, his voice is the same as "Lu Yang's," so if she encounters him, she will really have a hard time telling the difference and will definitely be fooled again.

But Xia Xiaoqin had a vague feeling that he was no longer there.

After all, according to the rules of the Ghost Bride, the Ghost Bride must have faced off against the fake "Lu Yang" just now, and she had just met the Ghost Bride a few hours ago.

So does that mean the ghost bride won, and the monster has been defeated?!

Thinking of this, Xia Xiaoqin smiled slightly.

Just then, the rain suddenly lessened considerably, with only a few light drizzles falling on Xia Xiaoqin's face before finally stopping completely.

"Ah, it seems the rain has stopped?"

Xia Xiaoqin stretched out her hand, but not a single raindrop fell.

But the rain was still pouring down in the courtyard.

A pale, slender hand raised an umbrella and gently tilted it towards Xia Xiaoqin.

At that moment, the girl, who had been smiling, suddenly froze.

In the darkness, an enormous figure lowered his body slightly, his eyebrows and eyes hidden under the umbrella, like an abyss.

His shadow descended, trapping the girl within its depths.

A cold wind blew by, and a large, slender hand gently brushed aside Xia Xiaoqin's hair, like a gust of wind.

"..."

Xia Xiaoqin pursed her lips and slowly touched the butterfly knife in her arms.

It's him!

It was that "Lu Yang" who had come to his side.

Realizing her bell bracelet hadn't rung yet, Xia Xiaoqin's face turned pale. She suppressed her fear, pretended not to have noticed anything, and continued walking forward.

The torrential rain continued to pour down, as if the whole world had been submerged by the flood.

Only this small world under the umbrella isolates it from everything else in the world.

Xia Xiaoqin clenched her fists, not understanding why the other person was following her.

At this moment, as Qin Bufei had instructed, she had supported herself against the wall, crossed two moon gates, and arrived at Old Master Lu's bedroom.

We must find a way to shake them off.

But just then, the bedroom door creaked open slowly, as if inviting Xia Xiaoqin in.

Xia Xiaoqin didn't dare to move, but just then, her fingers touched the bedroom door, where there was a note stuck to it.

[Bedroom Taboos]

【1. This is the bedroom of the Lu family patriarch. Please do not make any noise to disturb the peace.】

[Second, there is only one head of the Lu family. If you see another person in the bedroom, please leave immediately.]

3. Don't look back.
