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

"Cough, cough!"

Xia Xiaoqin's body went limp and she collapsed to the ground.

She felt a buzzing sound in her ears.

She guessed right.

—In the clues, she saw that the second young master of the Lu family originally wanted to run away with the fourth eldest young master, so she felt that there should be a gate to leave the mansion.

But she walked through the Lu residence again and again, and never found it.

So she gambled that the door was in the most dangerous place, behind Old Master Lu's mansion.

The former second young master of the Lu family has finally escaped the place he once wanted to flee from.

"It's over, it's over... Lu Yang's soul will not be taken away..."

Xia Xiaoqin lay on the ground, her vision blurring.

The suicide note said that as long as the rooster's soul remained, it would continue to reincarnate.

Now, Lu Yang can finally rest in peace.

Thinking of this, Xia Xiaoqin slowly closed her eyes.

But she vaguely heard Old Mrs. Lu saying something, as if she was going to throw her into the well.

At this moment, Xia Xiaoqin's scattered spirit managed to gather a little more strength.

"No, I want to go back to Lu Yang..."

The girl stretched out her little hands and tried her best to climb on the ground.

Bloodstains were left on the ground.

"I want to go back to him..."

When Grandma Lu saw this, she couldn't help but laugh mockingly, revealing her gaping maw.

Want to go back? No way!

"You wretched hussy, you dared to burn down the Lu family's house! May you be forever trapped in this well, never to be reincarnated!"

As she spoke, Old Mrs. Lu suddenly stomped on Xia Xiaoqin's hand.

Xia Xiaoqin struggled, clinging to her last breath, and continued crawling forward regardless of everything.

"Go back, I want to go back..."

But suddenly, she heard a familiar murmur.

"Small quilt".

Xia Xiaoqin raised her head blankly. In the darkness, she reached out her hand tremblingly, her consciousness blurred.

"Lu Yang, is that you?"

A large hand suddenly grabbed her small hand and pressed it against that familiar face.

Xia Xiaoqin closed her eyes, seemingly relieved.

"It's Lu Yang, let's...go home..."

At that moment, a sudden gust of cold wind arose.

His tall figure stood still, then he pulled the girl into his arms.

Looking at the girl's right hand, which was bruised and swollen from being stepped on, a terrifying pressure descended from the darkness.

That was the deepest despair, the most terrifying fear.

At that moment, all the paper figures knelt down in submission, trembling and prostrating themselves on the ground.

But the paper figure turned into ashes in an instant.

Upon seeing this, Grandma Lu staggered backward, her legs went weak, and she fell to the ground with a thud.

"Who...who are you?!"

The next second, a piercing scream tore through the night sky.

The foot that Old Mrs. Lu had just stepped on Xia Xiaoqin's hand was broken at the knee.

She collapsed to the ground, letting out a bloodcurdling scream like a pig being slaughtered.

"Spare your life! My lord, spare your life!"

Grandma Lu kowtowed desperately, her forehead thumping against the bluestone slab.

"I didn't break the rules! It was this wretched woman who disobeyed me; she burned down the Lu family's house first! Sir, who exactly are you?!"

chi chi-

In the darkness, the wind howled.

Grandma Lu's eyes bulged as she stared incredulously at the tall figure before her.

She struggled desperately, but it seemed as if an invisible hand had gripped her throat, causing her mask-like face to contort in pain.

"Help! Help!"

Accompanied by a sickeningly loud cracking sound of bone breaking.

Grandma Lu's legs wobbled mechanically before she fell to the ground.

Moments later, only a pile of ashes remained on the huge bluestone slab.

A cold wind swept by, and even the ashes dissipated.

Standing amidst the desolation, the tall figure lowered his head, silently gazing at the unconscious girl in his arms.

He looked at the little face, stained with blood and tears, buried in his chest, her right hand swollen and red.

Lu Yang lowered his voice and gently brushed his long fingers across the top of her hair.

"Live on, Xia Xiaoqin."

The man's fingertips slowly slid down the girl's forehead, across her brow bone, and finally covered her tightly closed eyes.

"Then, continue your escape from hell."

"I will keep watching you, watching how long you live."

His deep voice carried a cruelty that was almost gentle.

But the girl, still fast asleep, leaned against the man's broad chest with childlike dependence.

Then, in the darkness, the man seemed to laugh.

He leaned down, his thin lips close to the girl's ear, as if whispering a secret that only the two of them could hear.

"The rules between us have been rewritten, Xia Xiaoqin."

"This time, when you discover that I am not Lu Yang and lose your love for me—that will be your death day."

The moment the words were spoken, the system's voice boomed out.

【drop! 】

Player "Xia Xiaoqin" has cleared the dungeon "Lu Family Mansion (Night of Joy)".

[Instance settlement in progress]

Congratulations on obtaining the S-rank item: Eye of Truth!

[The Eye of Truth: In exchange for the color of your eyes, you gain the power to see through all illusions. From then on, the rules seem to have nowhere to hide in your eyes.]

As Lu Yang gently removed the covering from Xia Xiaoqin's eyes, the white film in her eyes quickly dissipated, restoring their clarity.

But this unusual behavior seemed to make Xia Xiaoqin feel somewhat uncomfortable.

And so a soft humming began in the darkness.

His tall figure began to whistle, the sound melodious and languid.

With the crackling of electricity, Xia Xiaoqin fell into a peaceful sleep.

......

"Have you heard? Shen Yan, the strongest player in the world of ghost stories, has also come to this instance!"

"Wow, really? Does that mean if we stick close to him in this game, we can survive?"

"You're overthinking it. He's a lone wolf, always working alone. You're really overthinking it. But I heard from other high-level players that Shen Yan came to the Strange Tales World on his own initiative, apparently to find his missing girlfriend. So there's a rule that if you can provide clues, he'll help you. I think the girl's name is something like Xiao Qin..."

In a daze, Xia Xiaoqin leaned her head against a comfortable and warm spot. Hearing the noisy sounds, she couldn't help but frown and cover her ears.

But just then, a pair of large, slender hands reached out and gently pinched her nose.

A deep, magnetic voice rang in Xia Xiaoqin's ears.
