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

Chapter 39 Her skin is perfect for making lanterns

"I'm giving you a chance! Don't push your luck!"

"Just a student who got lucky, does he really think he can rise to the top overnight? Without the support of aristocratic families like ours, the official 'Dragon Sparrow' would have dissected you for research sooner or later!"

Her words were vicious and sharp.

Lin Che didn't listen at all.

All his attention was focused on how to appease the jealous woman beside him who was about to explode.

He did something that left Qin Yao speechless.

Lin Che suddenly stepped forward and, right in front of her, tightly embraced the silent woman in red.

He lowered his head and whispered in Su Hongyi's ear in an almost pious, extremely gentle tone.

"Don't be angry, I only love you."

"Those vulgar women aren't even worthy of carrying your shoes."

"In my eyes, all the women in the world combined are not as valuable as a single hair of yours."

His voice wasn't loud.

But in the quiet night, it reached Qin Yao's ears clearly.

This is no longer a rejection.

This is confessing his feelings to another woman in the most direct and cheesy way, right in front of her.

This is humiliating!

Naked humiliation!

"You—you all—"

Qin Yao's face turned pale and then red, and she trembled with anger.

She was about to have an attack.

Sudden.

"Ah!!!"

A piercing scream, not belonging to a human and filled with extreme terror, exploded in her mind.

That was the lament of the succubus within her.

It sensed it.

On that woman in red, there was an aura that made it tremble from the very depths of its soul—an irresistible, absolute, nemesis-like presence.

It's a feeling like an ant looking up at a god.

No, it's even more terrifying than that.

It is dust, gazing up at a cosmic black hole capable of completely erasing it.

"puff-

Qin Yao spat out a mouthful of blood, her face instantly turning ashen.

The contract was severely damaged, and she, as its master, also suffered a backlash.

She stared in utter horror at Su Hongyi, who was being held in Lin Che's arms.

The woman slowly raised her head.

Across Lin Che's shoulder, a pair of deep phoenix eyes glanced at her coldly.

Just one glance.

Qin Yao felt as if her soul had been grasped by an invisible hand and then thrown into an eternal ice cave.

The blood was almost frozen.

She finally understood why the Wang and Liu families had failed.

She finally understood why this man was unmoved by her temptations.

How could someone who possesses divine power possibly deign to look down upon a mere plaything?

After hearing his sweet words, Su Hongyi, who was in Lin Che's arms, slowly lost her dangerous aura.

She reached out and hugged Lin Che's waist, burying her face in his chest and gently nuzzling him.

Like a cat that has been comforted and is content.

[Ding! You have successfully appeased your partner's possessiveness, demonstrating your responsibility as the head of the household!]

[Ding! The "Soft Rice and Hard Food" effect has been overtriggered, reward: Ghostly Affinity +30! Partner's Mood Index +50]

! ]

Lin Che breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally—we managed to fool them.

He didn't look at Qin Yao, who was slumped on the ground, again. He embraced Su Hongyi, turned around, and disappeared into the night.

Qin Yao was left alone, sitting dejectedly on the cold ground.

That bright pink sports car looked utterly ridiculous in the night wind.

Lin Che embraced Su Hongyi and walked into a quiet alley.

Deep in the alley is the old residential building where he rents his place.

He had just calmed the jealous person in his arms and was starting to relax.

However, just as they were about to turn into the stairwell—

"Ugh—!!!"

A sharp, piercing air raid siren, loud enough to tear eardrums, suddenly resounded throughout every corner of Jiangcheng.

The sound didn't come from any particular direction, but rather from the sky, from the earth, from all directions, directly penetrating the person's brain.

Lin Che paused in his steps.

Su Hongyi, who was in his arms, also raised her head.

Both of them looked up at the sky at the same time.

The night sky, which was originally dimly lit by the city lights, was now rapidly covered by a strange, blood-red film of light.

Streetlights, GG brand, building outline lights —

All the light sources flickered violently a few times at that moment, and then went out all at once.

Jiangcheng, a city of ten million that never sleeps, has fallen into a deathly silence of darkness.

Only the blood-red membrane in the sky, radiating an ominous red glow, enveloped the entire city in an apocalyptic atmosphere.

Followed by.

A cold, emotionless electronic synthesized voice echoed in every corner of the city.

Attention all citizens of Jiangcheng, this is not a drill.

Attention all citizens of Jiangcheng, this is not a drill.

[The China Meteorological Administration and the Paranormal Monitoring Center jointly issued a red alert for the "Night Parade of One Hundred Ghosts."]

[It is estimated that in thirty minutes, the main body of the ghost tide codenamed "Patrol" will pass through the "Crying Soul Slope" area on the outskirts of Jiangcheng via spatial warp.]

[Warning: The energy level of this ghost tide has exceeded historical thresholds. The high concentration of Yin energy it carries will cause irreversible damage to the real world.]

The city's defense light barrier will activate in ten seconds. All citizens, please immediately return indoors, close doors and windows, and do not look directly at any unusual light source or listen to any unusual sounds.

[To reiterate: Do not go outside, and do not spy!]

A cold voice fell.

The once-silent city suddenly erupted into chaos.

Countless closed windows were suddenly pushed open, and people peered out in terror at the blood-red sky.

After a brief moment of shock came an overwhelming wave of panic.

"A Night Parade of One Hundred Demons! It's a Night Parade of One Hundred Demons!"

"My God! I saw a post online saying that a neighboring city experienced something similar fifty years ago, it was just a yellow alert, but half the city was ruined!"

"What does a red alert mean? People are going to die!"

"Quick! Go home! Hide in the basement!"

Screams, cries, and the sounds of cars crashing echoed through the dark city, weaving together a chaotic symphony.

Next to the bright pink sports car.

Qin Yao had just struggled to her feet, still reeling from the fear and humiliation, when this sudden—

The sudden alarm startled him so much that he collapsed to the ground again.

Her face was deathly pale as she stared at the blood-red sky, her lips trembling.

Hundred Ghosts at Night.

As a member of a family of ghost tamers, she understood better than ordinary people what those four words meant.

That was a moving natural disaster.

It is the nightmare of all low-level monsters, and the carnival of all high-level beings.

Her phone started vibrating incessantly.

It was an urgent call from the family.

Qin Yao answered the call with trembling hands.

"Xiao Yao! Where are you? Return to the family shelter immediately! Hurry!"

On the other end of the phone was her father's voice, trembling with anxiety.

"The city's defensive light barrier can only block the erosion of Yin energy and low-level wandering spirits, not the big guys in the patrol teams! Once the light barrier is torn open, the entire city becomes their hunting ground!"
