He accidentally bumped into the witch while flying on his sword.

Upon seeing this shadowy figure, who, like Yun Yi in his dream, used the same method of disappearing into the shadows, he began to have some guesses.

In particular, the black energy seen by the Golden Eye Technique was very similar to the magic that Yun Yi had occasionally used, which further confirmed Chen Shun's idea.

In that instant, he already knew what Yun Yi wanted to do and what she was plotting.

She was pretending to be a ghost and playing with herself.

"I only complained once that day..."

Chen Shun released the shadowy figure. He knew that Yun Yi must be inside, but he didn't understand why Yun Yi didn't respond.

Yun Yi looked up at Chen Shun and saw only his gentle smile.

This made Yun Yi even more eager to escape.

"What should we do? Should we try again?" Yun Yi asked hesitantly.

She knew she had definitely been exposed, but as long as she didn't reveal her true face, Chen Shun certainly couldn't be 100% sure.

In Chen Shun's vision, even after he released the ghostly figure, it continued to howl and charge towards him.

The acting was quite convincing.

A black beam of magic contracted in its hand, which it raised high above its head and then thrust towards Chen Shun's face.

Chen Shun just smiled as he looked at it.

The beam of magic drew ever closer, almost piercing Chen Shun's eyes.

Chen Shun remained unmoved, his expression unchanged.

The shadowy figure and the magic beam in its hand indeed stopped in mid-air, not advancing another inch.

"Ah!!!" The dark figure stomped its feet in frustration, letting out a dry howl filled with annoyance and frustration.

"Can't you just pretend to be stupid?!"

A familiar, pleasant voice came from within the shadows, and Chen Shun chuckled to himself.

"As expected, you're such a disobedient child!"

Chen Shun reached out to touch the face of the dark figure, and the raging black aura automatically receded.

Yun Yi's delicate face was naturally revealed, but it was full of frustration.

Chen Shun reached out and pinched it, and the little witch took a bite.

Fortunately, Chen Shun pulled back quickly, otherwise he would have been bitten by this old zombie again.

"Ugh~!!! This is so annoying! Why are you being so smart this time?!" She shrugged irritably, swinging her arms. If this weren't a classroom, but home, she probably would have rolled around on the floor.

"Why don't you just pretend you don't know and then win me over?" Yun Yi took out the talismans Chen Shun had given her from her bosom and stuck them on her face one by one.

"Look, it's like this. Then what kind of magic weapon can you use to suppress me? Wouldn't that make you happy?"

Yun Yi grabbed Chen Shun's large hand, spread his five fingers, and placed it on his own head as if to suppress him.

Seriously, why is it so hard to make this guy happy?

At that moment, Chen Shun took the opportunity to rub her head.

Yun Yi was stunned.

"Why are you rubbing my head at this time? I will not give in to the evil head pat..." Yun Yi's face flushed, and she looked away shyly.

Her voice, which was trying to defend herself, grew softer and softer, clearly indicating that she didn't dislike Chen Shun rubbing her head.

Even after Chen Shun withdrew his hand, she still glanced at him a few more times, seemingly still wanting more.

"So that dream was actually your magic, wasn't it?"

"Pah, it definitely wasn't me, I would never let you have such a wet dream!" Yun Yi denied it outright.

Making a man dream like that, with herself as the female lead—if my sister knew about this, she'd probably laugh at me for a whole year.

However, Yun Yi's flushed face betrayed her.

Chen Shun really wanted to hug her and take a few deep breaths.

Seeing that Chen Shun's gaze was becoming increasingly dangerous, Yun Yi could only apologize repeatedly.

"I'm sorry, I know I was wrong, I shouldn't have lied to you." She lowered her head and subtly shifted her toes back.

Chen Shun smiled and slowly stepped forward.

"Don't come any closer!" Yun Yi made an "X" with both hands, warily guarding against Chen Shun's attempt to approach.

Chen Shun ignored them and continued to press forward.

Yun Yi's face fell, and he slowly backed away.

"I'm telling you, you've run out of credit!" Yun Yi's voice sounded slightly anxious.

However, this could not stop Chen Shun's approaching steps.

"Don't move!" She tore off the talisman stuck to her forehead and, imitating Chen Shun, stuck it on his forehead as well.

Chen Shun froze in place and stopped in his tracks, while Yun Yi's face lit up with joy.

He even mustered up the courage to poke Chen Shun, but Chen Shun didn't react.

Unexpectedly, the talisman used to deal with the old zombie was also effective against Chen Shun.

Chen Shun imitated Yun Yi, blowing away the talisman on his forehead so that Yun Yi could see his disdainful expression.

"You're so adorably naive! How could my talisman possibly work on me!"

"Tch, just as I expected!" She spat, angrily accusing Chen Shun of giving her a fake talisman.

Chen Shun gradually increased his speed as he approached Yun Yi, and Yun Yi was soon pressed against the wall.

She looked left and right, but she was still within Chen Shun's reach, so there was no way for her to escape.

"You're going to pin me against the wall? Hmm?"

Before Yun Yi could finish speaking, Chen Shun pinched her cheek.

With just a gentle squeeze, Yun Yi's cute little mouth was forced to pout, just like the pufferfish she kept at home.

Her eyebrows were raised, and her lips moved with difficulty.

It looks more and more like a pufferfish.

When she saw Chen Shun's head slowly approaching, she knew that Chen Shun wanted to bite her again.

The same thing happened last time; he's getting tougher and tougher now.

Yun Yi felt that Chen Shun could no longer be allowed to be so arrogant.

But he was pinching her cheeks, so what could she do?

In a moment of quick thinking, Yun Yi pursed her lips and spat out a saliva bubble.

The saliva bubble burst, and a few specks of saliva splattered onto their faces.

Chen Shun frowned in disgust.

"Where did you learn such disgusting things..."

"Who told you to pin me against the wall!" Yun Yi retorted confidently!

"Who told you to concoct a ghost to fool me first? I thought it was real!"

Yun Yi was speechless.

This matter has been a thorn in her side for the past few days.

She understood everything, including Chen Shun's somewhat forceful reason for wanting to kiss her at this moment.

Yun Yi only realized belatedly that when she devised this plan to impersonate a ghost to fulfill Chen Shun's intentions, she had already gone down the wrong path from the very beginning.

At the time, I was very excited and thought I was the smartest woman in the world, qualified to be Chen Shun's future wife.

As it turned out, she was wrong.

If things go as she envisions, Chen Shun will finally eliminate the ghost he is disguised as and gain a brief sense of satisfaction.

And after that?

Having tasted the sweetness of success, will Chen Shun stop his search for ghosts and monsters?

Obviously not.

But the current situation is the worst possible scenario.

Because this widely publicized ghost story was, from the very beginning, a complete hoax.

Although Yunyi's starting point was to implement it as part of her plan to pamper her boyfriend.

But after the brief sweetness comes emptiness.

Chen Shun knew that he was the one who had planned all of this, and that he would be overjoyed once he understood his intentions.

But what follows is the emptiness of shattered hope.

Rather than creating a monster to rekindle Chen Shun's hope for demons and monsters, only to ruthlessly shatter it.

He almost truly believed that ghosts and monsters existed in the world, but he shattered his dream with his own hands.

It would be better to let Chen Shun accept the reality that this world is just as ordinary as before.

At that time, Yun Yi had no idea how far ahead he was.

"I'm sorry..." she said sincerely, her head bowed in dejection.

She understood that Chen Shun genuinely wanted to be close to her at that moment, because he knew her good intentions.

But more than anything, he wanted some comfort, to deceive himself and cover up his own sense of loss.

"Why are you apologizing? I didn't mean to blame you at all!" Chen Shun asked, puzzled, and hurriedly explained.

Yun Yi had planned all of this on purpose. He was too busy liking her to blame her.

After all, what girlfriend would actually create a ghost for her boyfriend to exorcise just because he complained nonsensically, "I really want to catch a ghost!"?

Only this little witch in front of me could do such a thing.

"I know you were actually quite disappointed after you discovered that the ghost was me, weren't you?"
