"I've found a clue."

This time, Lu Xun didn't beat around the bush and immediately revealed his value.

Su Yuan noticed a hint of annoyance on the cute face. "I don't care. You're blocking my way."

"Su Yuan, I really didn't lie to you this time."

"To survive, a sacrifice is necessary; that is to say, only one of the bride and groom can survive."

"As for you, who were paired with this bizarre person... the only outcome will be death."

Su Yuan was so angry she laughed.

Stopping her so early in the morning is like telling her she's going to die.

"Thank you so much." Su Yuan pushed the person away impatiently.

"Once you get to the rose bushes, you'll see I wasn't lying!"

"Su Yuan, I have a way to kill the monster. If you change your mind, you are welcome to come to me anytime."

"boom--"

Kill Igris?

Putting aside the system message that Igoris cannot be killed, let's just ask why Lu Xun would be so kind?

He had previously shown her goodwill in order to get Igris's high heels from her, but now... something's definitely up!

Time passed slowly, and after everyone tidied up, they headed to the back garden to participate in today's wedding rehearsal.

Each of the four had their own thoughts.

Su Yuan still smiled sweetly as she linked arms with Igris. If you ignored Igris's ashen skin and dark blue eyes, the two really did look like the owner and his wife of this manor.

The roses, illuminated by the crimson moon all night, appeared even more alluring. They seemed to have eyes, staring intently at the group.

The gray-checkered woman trembled at the thought of the roses that had turned into a monster and bit off her arm last night.

If Lu Xun hadn't given her a special hemostatic drug, she would probably be dead.

Although it was on the premise of giving him all the mission rewards unconditionally.

Su Yuan looked at the dense cluster of roses. She tilted her head, and the roses tilted their heads too, like a group of curious and exploring elves.

She exclaimed in surprise, "Brother, these flowers seem to be alive; they're looking at me!"

Igris cupped Su Yuan's chin, making her eyes see only him, and said in a seductive voice, "Baby, don't touch those roses, they're dirty."

"It will corrupt you."

As he spoke, Igris glanced at the roses out of the corner of his eye, and the eerie roses instantly wilted.

"Why?" Su Yuan asked.

A dangerous glint, even a hint of warning, appeared on Igris's face. "Don't you trust me, baby?"

Su Yuan said brightly, "I trust my brother!"

The dangerous aura emanating from Igris vanished instantly.

[I have a feeling this SSS-rank, extremely dangerous, and sinister creature harbors ill intentions. Could it be that what that E-rank butler said yesterday was true?]

[The answer lies within the rose bushes; this extremely dangerous plant refuses to let anyone touch the uprooted willow—it must be because it's guilty!]

[Holy crap, wake up! Don't let your love-struck mind fool you with this weirdo. I just saw it threatening those roses with my own eyes!!]

The housekeeper announced the rehearsal content.

"Dear guests, today we are rehearsing a heartfelt vow."

"All you need to do is stand one by one on the vow platform among the roses and say your vow."

"A vow should not be changed by anything."

Good luck to everyone.

"We'll go first," Lu Xun volunteered.

The butler did not refuse, "Of course."

The moment Lu Xun uttered his vow, the roses came to life, instantly sprouting several buds, each with a human face. They allowed the rose thorns to grow wildly, surrounding Lu Xun completely.

Lu Xun's voice did not stop.

About two minutes later, the thorns dispersed, and Lu Xun walked out unharmed.

The oath is a test of one's sincerity in upholding it even in the face of threats.

Su Yuan's eyes sparkled with a smile; she seemed to have just seen Lu Xun and the rose-shaped ghost exchanging something.

The woman in the gray plaid shirt had become much braver after last night and passed through smoothly. On the other hand, the man with black-rimmed glasses came out with wet pants and a trembling voice.

When it was Su Yuan's turn, she stood steadily on the platform, her figure slender and delicate.

The sound rang out, and the vow began.

Strangely, the roses didn't move at all.

Igris stared intently at the little figure on the platform, his blood seemingly flowing again, and he could feel the resonance of a heart in the previously empty space.

Before you, I make my sincerest vow, no matter what...

Su Yuan muttered to herself, but in her mind she silently instructed the system to use the Heart-Questioning Experience Card.

[Ding! The host has successfully used the Heart-Questioning Ability Experience Card.]

The moment the ability was used.

Many sounds entered her ears, but when she applied her power to Igris, the sounds vanished, plunging her into an eerie silence.

But soon, a faint heartbeat could be heard.

"Yes...it's mine, baby."

Su Yuan looked up, but Igoris didn't speak. The sound was... of the heart!

The heart really is in the manor. If it is, why doesn't Igris want to find it?

What exactly happened that made Igris bury his own heart?

Moreover, she discovered that these roses were not plant-based monsters, but real flesh-and-blood roses, they were... people!

Those who die in the final stages may very well become nourishment for the roses, and thus become roses themselves.

"Watch out for Igris!"

"You'll die, you'll die, stay away from him!"

The flesh roses seemed to realize she was listening, and one by one they rushed to warn her to stay away from Igris or she would die.

A wedding is a tomb.

Su Yuan stepped down from the platform and buried her face in Igris's arms, her voice muffled, "Igris, would you lie to me?"

A murderous glint flashed in Igris's eyes, but his voice was calm and reassuring: "I will never deceive my true love, much less betray her."

At the same time, a faint heartbeat could be heard.

"Betrayal, never... Why did you choose to betray?"

To Su Yuan's surprise, Igris, in order to prove his sincerity, also chose to make a vow.

For the first time ever, Su Yuan saw sincerity and passion in a strange creature that was cold and devoid of warmth.

In his daze, he didn't even realize when Igris approached.

"Baby, your heart is beating so fast," Igris said teasingly.

"Is she thinking of how to deceive me?" Igris's fingers slowly traced her earring.

Su Yuan's throat moved slightly.

Nobody told her that her weird personality would change after her favorability rating increased!

[Congratulations, host! Current favorability rating: 90!]

The strange favorability rating is definitely not comparable to that of humans.

Even with a 90% favorability rating, I'm still constantly suspicious and wary of her.

Su Yuan grasped Igoris's hand in return and said sincerely, "Igoris, I will never betray you."

"I'm really looking forward to it."
