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

Xia Xiaoqin felt cold all over and struggled desperately to hold back the approaching body, using all her strength to push him away.

But the arm that was wrapped around her waist wouldn't budge.

A sticky and damp sensation seemed to spread from the large hand pressing against her lower abdomen, as if something was about to tear her apart and devour her.

"Let me go—I told you to let me go!"

Xia Xiaoqin's face turned deathly pale. She raised her other hand and used both hands to frantically push the man's face. She was like a fish being pulled ashore, struggling desperately in the man's arms.

As her slender white fingers traced across the other person's thin lips, a chill suddenly spread.

—When exactly did "Lu Yang" who was with her become that man?

Xia Xiaoqin slowly raised her unfocused eyes, her expression turning completely terrified.

From the very beginning

Or were they in a three-legged race?

Jingle Bell!

The sound of silver bells rang out again, then grew increasingly urgent.

In the darkness, the tall man lowered his body, his overwhelming shadow seeming to devour the girl.

This time, Xia Xiaoqin saw Lu Yang's face again in her mind with perfect clarity.

That familiar face writhed, as if something not of human origin was bursting forth from it, threatening to devour her completely.

"ah!!!"

Xia Xiaoqin was so frightened that her legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground.

But the man reached out with his long arm and pulled her up, then released her, giving her a brief moment of freedom.

"Don't come any closer... don't come any closer..."

Xia Xiaoqin's face was pale, and she moved backward almost instinctively.

But just then, her fingers touched something cold.

—It's Old Master Lu's hand.

Xia Xiaoqin was so frightened that she quickly pulled her hand back, but a jolt of electricity shot from her fingertips up her arm and into her brain.

The silver bell exploded in her mind with a burst of white light, more intense than ever before.

In the white light, she saw the scene before her in her mind, and what her fingers touched was actually a piece of jade thumb ring on Master Lu's withered finger.

[Congratulations to player "Xia Xiaoqin" for obtaining the main quest clue "Patriarch's Jade Thumb Ring"!]

Main Quest: The Secret of the Lu Family Mansion

[Current Clue: 6/7]

[“Patriarch’s Jade Thumb Ring”: This jade thumb ring symbolizes the position of the head of the Lu family, and only the head of the Lu family can possess it. But now, where is its true owner?]

[Clue Introduction: Old Master Lu has lived most of his life and seen all sorts of demons and monsters, but in the end, the thing that most resembles a ghost is actually his eldest son, who was spoiled since childhood and committed all sorts of evil deeds such as eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring.]

When the eldest son, Lu Jiayao, was twenty years old, he gambled away half of the Lu family's fortune. To cover this debt, he got married, but after receiving a generous dowry, he married a second and a third woman. Then he pretended to be insane, claiming that he was possessed by the spirits of the dead women and demanding that they continue to bring him good fortune.

Such debauchery was too much for Old Master Lu to bear. Before his death, he passed on the position of family head to his youngest son, Lu Yang, who had returned from studying abroad. So when Lu Jiayao was about to kill his fourth bride, whom he had married to bring good fortune, the young family head ordered him to stop and fled with her.

[But the second young master of the Lu family underestimated his elder brother's malice. On the very night that the second young master failed to save his bride for the purpose of bringing good fortune, the eldest young master set up a pot, claiming that the second young master was possessed by an evil spirit and had fallen in love with his sister-in-law. He said he would boil the second young master in hot water to exorcise the evil spirit, and then use a rooster to wake his soul. The screams that day lasted for a long time before the second young master finally breathed his last. When he died, his eyes were wide open, staring intently at the eldest young master of the Lu family, and resentment filled the entire Lu mansion.]

Xia Xiaoqin's eyes widened suddenly.

In the flickering image, a tall figure bent over, casting a shadow that seemed to imprison her in the shadows.

"Xia Xiaoqin, have you guessed who I am?"

Looking at the man in front of her, Xia Xiaoqin restrained her trembling body.

All the clues are connected, and only the last piece of the puzzle is needed to reveal the answer.

Ring ring— Ring ring—

The piercing sound of the copper bell was almost like an explosion to Xia Xiaoqin, and the images transmitted were like a flickering screen, constantly lighting up so that Xia Xiaoqin could spy in the darkness.

The girl curled up on the ground and could clearly see that Grandpa Lu's room was covered with talismans for warding off evil spirits.

The posters were plastered everywhere, on the windows, doors, and even walls, as if Old Master Lu was afraid that some evil spirits might come in.

Xia Xiaoqin turned her head and finally discovered the reason.

"Lu Jiayao".

The body of Old Master Lu lay on the ground, with the three characters of the young master Lu's name clearly engraved on the gold lock around his neck.

Everything has finally come to an end.

"You! So you're not the eldest young master of the Lu family, you're the second young master of the Lu family, Lu Yang!!!"

Xia Xiaoqin spoke in disbelief, her breathing rapid.

"Am I right?! You are the vengeful spirit seeking revenge against the Lu family! And this is the secret of the entire Lu family!" "Old Master Lu was the eldest son of the Lu family back then, a wicked and licentious man. To seize your position as head of the family, he boiled you alive in boiling water! So your resentful spirit lingers, seeking revenge every day, and you have become one with the rooster that called your soul back then!"

"And to appease your resentment, Grandpa Lu found you wives to bring you good fortune, which are the women mentioned later, including me, right?! That's why the Lu family married seven wives to bring you good fortune!!!"

In an instant, the heavy rain stopped, and a cold wind rose from the ground.

At the same moment, all the large red lanterns in the Lu mansion began to shake violently, and blood-red light and shadow flowed on the ground, as if the entire mansion was bleeding.

Meanwhile, the paper figures inside the Lu mansion trembled violently, as if sensing something. Their faces, painted with rouge, cracked inch by inch, and they began to scream.

"Second Young Master—it's the Second Young Master—"

"The Second Young Master is back—the Second Young Master's vengeful spirit has returned—"

The screams rose and fell, startling Xia Xiaoqin.

Immediately afterwards, the paper figures of the Lu family fled in a frenzy, but the sound of paper pieces tearing apart echoed everywhere.

The paper figures' bodies tore into countless pieces of paper in mid-air, and the paper pieces swirled in the air like a white rain.

Looking at the images flashing through her mind, Xia Xiaoqin curled up on the ground, her face deathly pale.

Not far away, footsteps, neither hurried nor slow, came one after another, heading in her direction.

A burst of white light flashed in her mind, followed by a large, pale hand emerging from the wide sleeve of her wedding dress.

"Honey."

"You guessed all of them correctly."
