My God Raising Game

Chapter 28 Wedding!

Have you ever encountered a female ghost wearing a cheongsam?

Li Yinuo, with her strong gossip instincts, couldn't wait to share her recent experience with everyone.

"I found it! I found it!"

Zeng Hong nodded hurriedly: "Their tongues can stick out quite a long way!"

"A ghost? What's that?"

Zhang Shuai put his right hand on Li Dongxuan's shoulder and asked curiously.

They were lucky; after the thick fog rolled in, a lantern-carrying boy found them, so no female ghost bothered them.

"It must be the ghost of a woman who died unjustly; anyway, it's terrifying!"

Zeng Hong still feels terrified when she thinks about it now.

"It's not actually that scary!"

Xu Shaowei glanced at Lu Jiuling.

"Shaowei, are you scared out of your wits? People are dying, isn't that scary?"

Zeng Hong found it hard to believe.

"You can burn them to death with torches!"

Xu Shaowei revealed the information.

"what?"

"How did you know?"

"Have you tried it?"

"You're just guessing, aren't you? Who's out of their mind to have the guts to burn those dirty things?"

The girls were chattering away.

In fact, this kind of discussion is also a way of venting inner tension and fear; it seems that the more lively the atmosphere, the safer it is.

"690 has been burned!"

Li Yinuo gave a thumbs-up and pointed at Lu Jiuling: "Several of them were burned to death!"

"what?"

"really?"

"Does 690 have that much guts?"

The girls all turned their heads to look at Lu Jiuling.

He's very tall, slim, and quite good-looking. Wearing jeans and a simple hoodie, he exudes a delicate and refined charm, resembling a cute little puppy.

Lu Jiuling has always been perceived as a passive type, the kind of submissive person who expects the girl to take the initiative when kissing.

Would he dare to take the initiative and burn the ghost?

The girls didn't ask Lu Jiuling, but instead turned their heads in unison to look at Jiang Shan, waiting for an answer.

"it is true!"

Jiang Shan never speaks carelessly; her character is exceptionally reliable.

"Fuck!"

"So fierce?"

"I can't tell at all!"

The girls were shocked and looked at Lu Jiuling again.

"That's not all! Shaowei was dragged away by a female ghost with a huge tongue. Luckily, 690 intervened in time and saved her, otherwise Shaowei would have been dead!"

Li Yinuo embellished the story of Lu Jiuling rescuing Xu Shaowei, leaving everyone stunned.

Zhang Shuai and his small group standing next to him were also dumbfounded.

Li Jiayao clenched her little fists.
Very happy.

The students finally discovered 690's hidden talents.

"690 was the first to guess that hiding under the red lanterns would deter the female ghosts from coming near!"

Ning Qian truly admired Lu Jiuling; in that unexpected situation, he remained calm and composed, and was able to think things through rationally.

Xu Shuo usually acts like a top student, but compared to Lu Jiuling just now, he looked like a complete rookie, utterly incompetent and unreliable.

As Xu Shuo listened to the girls constantly discussing and praising Lu Jiuling, he felt embarrassed and nervously glanced at Jiang Shan.

really!

Jiang Shan was silently observing Lu Jiuling.

This made Xu Shuo's heart tighten, filled with regret.

If I had been bolder and dealt with those female ghosts, Jiang Shan would definitely have developed a liking for me!
No!

We can't let these girls keep talking, otherwise Lu Jiuling's image will become too lofty.

"Everyone, the crisis isn't over yet!"

Xu Shuo said, "It's too early to feel at ease now!"

This sentence immediately silenced everyone.

Yes!

What should we do now?
There were many lantern-carrying children, who scattered out and brought over all the tourists who were scattered throughout the mansion.

Of course, there were also some unlucky ones who were killed by the ghosts before the Lantern Boy even appeared.

Lu Jiuling observes!
This is a large courtyard with a bluestone floor that is so shiny it reflects your image. On the north side, there is a screen wall carved with lifelike longevity pine and crane, symbolizing good fortune!
Beyond the screen wall lies a tightly closed mansion gate.

On either side, there is a stone sculpture of a Qilin the size of an adult to guard the house. Two children, with their hands clasped in their hands, carry large red lanterns with the character "囍" (double happiness) on them and stand in front of the door to welcome guests.

Judging from this, do we need to go in and attend the wedding inside?
"You need to think of something right now!"

A sharp, shrill noise drew everyone's attention.

Everyone turned around and saw a woman in her late twenties yelling at her boyfriend: "I don't care, I want to get out now!"

The woman was wearing tight jeans, a tank top and a sun-protective shirt, and sunglasses on her head.

"Calm down!"

Her boyfriend tried to persuade her.

"I can't calm down, you need to think of something right now!"

The woman in jeans shook off her boyfriend's hand as he tried to hug her: "Go ask those two kids who they are."

"..."

Her boyfriend fell silent. Who knows if there's any danger in doing this?

"Zhang Chenfan, you're such a coward!"

Women despise jeans.

Zhang Chenfan was embarrassed, and with so many people watching, he couldn't bear to lose face. Not wanting to be looked down upon, he boldly went around the screen wall, went up the steps, and asked the lantern-carrying boy on the left.

"Hello, what do you want with us here?" Zhang Chenfan asked with a smile and a friendly attitude.

It's a pity it's useless.

The lantern-carrying boy glanced at him, then continued to stand there indifferently.

Besides the two lantern-bearing children standing at the entrance to greet guests, the other children who went to guide guests immediately returned to the inner quarters after completing their tasks to prepare for the next step of the wedding ceremony.

"Chen Fan, slap them and see if they'll talk."

Women who wear jeans offer their tips!
Zhang Chenfan was a bit of a coward, but he wasn't stupid. Don't be fooled by the fact that these lantern-carrying children were just little kids. At first glance, they might seem harmless, but who knows if hitting them would cause a lot of trouble?

"690, what do you think?"

Xu Shaowei sized up the two little maids: "Is there any way to get them to talk?"

"690, Li Yinuo and the others just praised you like you're a superhero from a comic book. Don't embarrass yourself. Go for it and pave a way for everyone!"

Zhang Shuai mocked, and the more he looked at Lu Jiuling, the more annoyed he became.

"Given the current situation, we should try to get through that mansion!"

Lu Jiuling pondered.

He estimated that there was a risk of death inside, but if he didn't go in and stayed here, he would probably die even faster.

"The problem is how to get in?" Xu Shuo sneered. "Didn't you see those two boys ignoring everyone?"

Apart from the woman in jeans who was clearly a mentally unstable overgrown child, constantly complaining and blaming, everyone else either remained silent or spoke in very low voices.

One after another, lantern-carrying children led the way, bringing the tourists back.

About twenty minutes later, the last lantern-bearing boy who had gone out to greet the guests returned. He walked up the steps and whispered a few words to the two little lantern-bearers standing at the gate.

Then the two little servants took out an incense stick from their bosom and a small incense burner the size of an apple from their bosom.

They lit the incense sticks with a tinderbox and then inserted them into the incense burner.

The gray incense smoke curled upwards, rising into the clouds.

Crunch!

The last one to return, Xiao Xitong, pressed his hands against the wooden door, pushed it open a crack, and squeezed in sideways.

Crunch!

The door is closed again!
Everyone craned their necks, eager to see what was inside.

Someone caught a glimpse and saw a banquet set up inside, with even the enticing aroma of food wafting out.

"What does it mean?"

Xu Shaowei watched as Xiao Xitong on her left handed the big red lantern to her companion. She then held the incense burner in both hands and closed her eyes.

"Is it a timer?" Jiang Shan frowned. "Will we die once the incense burns out?"

"Huh? Don't scare me!"

Li Yinuo panicked.

"I think Jiang Shan's guess is pretty accurate!"

Xu Shuo sensed something was wrong.

"Let's hurry up and figure out a way to get in, shall we?"

Tang Lei adjusted his round-framed glasses, trying hard to think of a solution, but his mind was a mess, devoid of any ideas: "Brother 69, have you thought of anything?"

"If a wedding banquet is being held inside, logically speaking, we would need an invitation to get in."

Lu Jiuling actually thought of that.

The young man who just asked the lantern-carrying boy was ignored, probably because he didn't have an invitation.

Where did the invitations come from?

Xu Shuo pressed for an answer.

"I think we could try giving money as a wedding gift!" Zhang Shuai, a common man, said, "From ancient times to the present, isn't the whole point of weddings to give money as a wedding gift?"

"Are you going to try it?"

Xu Shaowei made the suggestion.

"Ah!"

Commander Zhang sneered.

Do you think I'm stupid?

But he has his own tricks up his sleeve.

"Hey beautiful, have your boyfriend give that kid some money, maybe he'll get in jail!"

Zhang Shuai called out to the woman in jeans.

Upon hearing this, the woman in jeans immediately told her boyfriend to try them on.

Zhang Chenfan had no choice, and besides, Xi Tong hadn't done anything to him during their conversation, so he wasn't too flustered this time.

"Little friend, I'll give you a hundred yuan, how about you let me in?"

Zhang Chenfan took out 100 yuan from his wallet and handed it to the lantern-carrying boy.

The two lantern-bearing boys didn't even lift their eyelids.

"This method won't work!"

Xu Shuo sighed.

"Hey beautiful, tell your boyfriend to give you more money!"

Zhang Shuai did not give up.

As it turned out, even after Zhang Chenfan increased the price to 500 yuan, the two lantern-carrying children still didn't react.

"It seems we definitely need invitations!"

Xu Shuo was completely bewildered: "But where do we get this stuff?"

Lu Jiuling seemed to be deep in thought. He opened his backpack and took out the red envelope that Tang Weimin had given him before dinner that evening.

The homeroom teacher said that there were some rather sharp comments in the comments, and to avoid making everyone feel awkward, they should read them privately after the activity ended tomorrow.

Lu Jiuling opened the red envelope.

Inside was a folded letter and a yellow copper coin.

Lu Jiuling unfolded the letter, which contained no blessings, messages, or comments as Tang Weimin had mentioned; there was only one sentence.

'You are my new life!'

Tang Lei leaned closer, looking at the elegant, flowing calligraphy on the letter.

The handwriting is beautiful; it's the homeroom teacher's handwriting. But what does it mean?
Lu Jiuling revealed a knowing look. He poured out the copper coins and looked at them from both sides.

The slightly worn copper coin is inscribed with the four seal characters '吉祥通宝' (Jixiang Tongbao).

Lu Jiuling weighed the copper coins in his hand and walked towards the lantern-carrying boy on the steps.

Swish!
All eyes turned to them.
