Bizarre: Forced into an arranged marriage, his wife turns out to be a demon emperor?

Chapter 38 I want to peel it off and make it into a lantern.

same time.

Thousands of miles away, in the capital city.

A huge command center filled with futuristic technology.

On a screen the size of a wall, the crimson "SSS" level mark was displayed in the sky above Jiangcheng.

The data stream refreshes like a waterfall.

A man dressed in a black coat, with a cold face and eagle-like eyes, stood with his hands behind his back in front of the screen.

Behind him stood a row of subordinates, all with equally solemn expressions, not daring to breathe loudly.

"Report, Li Zhen's encrypted report from the Jiangcheng branch has been delivered."

A subordinate projects an electronic document in front of the man.

The man's gaze swept over the document.

When he saw the words "only one person passed the test," "suspected student," and "his partner is an immeasurable and mysterious being," his hawk-like eyes narrowed slightly.

"SSS rating————"

"Unmeasurable————"

He murmured to himself, his fingertips tapping lightly in the air.

The entire command center was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

for a long time.

He turned around, his voice as cold as ice.

"This level of incident is no longer an ordinary S-class event."

"It touched the edge of taboo."

"Pass on my orders."

"Activate the First Squad of Heavenly Punishment."

"Destination: Jiangcheng."

"I need to know about that student named Lin Che—his past, present, and future."

"And the woman next to him—"

The man paused, a look of unprecedented seriousness flashing in his eyes.

"I want her—all the intelligence."

The night wind, carrying the smell of ruins and dust, blew through the streets of Jiangcheng.

The streetlights cast long shadows of the two people.

Lin Che held Su Hongyi's hand and walked slowly.

He could sense that the woman beside him had calmed down and had returned to being the quiet, dependent wife he knew.

The place where their palms touched was no longer the icy cold that had frozen their souls, but a slight coolness that felt very comfortable.

The conditions offered by those powerful families would have driven any ordinary person crazy.

But Lin Che knew very well that those things were nothing compared to the woman beside him.

Wealth, power, status.

He can have everything if she wants.

He is the richest person in the world.

"Husband, shall we go home?" Su Hongyi asked softly.

Her voice, having shed its previous divine and indifferent quality, now carried a touch of human warmth.

"Yes, let's go home."

Just as Lin Che was about to answer, a screeching sound of tires shattered the tranquility of the night.

A bright pink convertible sports car, with an extremely arrogant angle, drifted sideways and stopped in front of the two, blocking their way.

The headlights were so bright that people couldn't open their eyes.

The car door opened upwards.

A long leg encased in black stockings emerged first, stepping onto a pair of frighteningly high red high heels.

Then, a woman wearing a deep V-neck red mini-skirt got out of the car.

She has a stunning figure, exquisite makeup, long wavy hair casually draped over her shoulders, and fiery red lips.

A sweet and alluring perfume scent instantly filled the air.

The woman leaned against the car door, arms crossed, looking at Lin Che with great interest, her gaze unrestrained, as if admiring a product she was about to acquire.

"You're Lin Che?"

Her voice carried an innate sense of superiority, yet also possessed a touch of languid allure.

"Those idiots from the Wang and Liu families couldn't get you to come?"

Lin Che frowned slightly.

He could sense that something was off about the perfume.

It entered his nasal cavity, like an invisible hand, gently stirring the most primal desires in his heart.

A surge of heat was rising uncontrollably within my body.

"And who are you?" Lin Che asked in a calm tone.

"I?"

The woman giggled, her laughter clear and crisp, like the tinkling of silver bells.

"My name is Qin Yao, from the Qin family."

Jiangcheng, Qin family.

A family that is more mysterious and more powerful than the Wang and Liu families.

It is said that their businesses have long since extended beyond Jiangcheng, reaching into certain shady gray areas.

"Those old fogies only know how to use crude things like money and territory to buy people off; it's too vulgar."

As Qin Yao spoke, she walked towards Lin Che with cat-like steps.

Her skirt was very short, swaying with her steps and revealing large expanses of snow-white skin, which was particularly dazzling in the night.

"I think someone as strong as you doesn't need those things."

She walked up to Lin Che, very close to him.

The sweet aroma became even stronger.

Lin Che could even feel his heartbeat accelerating uncontrollably.

"You need someone who understands you, someone who can bring you true happiness."

Qin Yao reached out her hand, painted with bright red nail polish, and tried to touch Lin Che's chest.

"Come with me, and I can give you a bliss they can never give you."

Her eyes became unfocused, and deep within her pupils, it seemed as if pink mist was swirling.

The heat within Lin Che's body was almost breaking through the defenses of his reason.

Some erotic images even uncontrollably surfaced in his mind.

Just then.

A cool sensation came from the hand he was holding.

Su Hongyi's hands had become as cold as iron without her noticing.

The coolness instantly spread throughout his body, extinguishing most of the heat within him.

Lin Che jolted awake.

Almost simultaneously, a cold, resentful, and emotionless voice resounded deep within his mind.

[My husband.]

Lin Che's body froze.

This woman's skin is really beautiful.

I want to peel it off and make it into a lantern.

It would look beautiful hanging in our new house.

"Whoosh—"

Lin Che's face drained of all color, turning deathly pale.

Cold sweat instantly broke out on my back.

He suddenly took a step back and shoved Qin Yao away from him.

The force was so great that Qin Yao, who was wearing high heels, stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

"you!"

The seductive look on Qin Yao's face vanished, replaced by astonishment and anger.

She doesn't understand.

The B-grade succubus she contracted possessed an irresistible allure, and no man had ever been able to resist it.

Even the most determined demon tamer will be momentarily stunned.

But Lin Che in front of me was able to break free in an instant.

"roll."

Lin Che's voice was chillingly cold.

He didn't even glance at Qin Yao again, but instead looked nervously at Su Hongyi beside him.

Su Hongyi kept her head down, so her expression was not visible.

But Lin Che could sense that the aura emanating from her was becoming dangerous.

The air temperature is dropping at a rate visible to the naked eye.

The light from the streetlights became dim and distorted.

"You dare push me? Do you know who I am?"

Qin Yao steadied herself, completely enraged.
