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

Chapter 55 Husband, do you like it here?

He cleaved the chains on the door with a single sword stroke, and led Wang Shao and the others inside.

The villa is much larger inside than it appears from the outside.

The hall was empty and covered with a thick layer of dust. Half of the crystal chandelier on the ceiling had fallen down and was hanging in mid-air, teetering on the verge of collapse.

The light was dim, and there was an atmosphere of decay and death everywhere.

"Where is everyone?" Wang Shao looked around with his phone, the live stream chat was already going crazy.

Where did those two people go?

They searched everywhere but couldn't find Lin Che and Su Hongyi.

Just then.

"whee----"

A girl's laughter suddenly rang out from the second-floor stairwell.

Everyone was startled and looked up.

A little girl wearing a white dress and with her hair down was sitting on the stair railing, swinging her legs back and forth.

Her face was deathly pale, devoid of any color, and her eyes were pure black, with no whites.

"Ghost—a ghost!" The internet celebrity girl let out a piercing scream.

"What's the panic!"

Zhang Tianyu shouted sharply, took a step forward with his peach wood sword in hand, and assumed a fighting stance.

"You mere earthbound spirit, how dare you be so insolent before this Celestial Master!"

"Heavenly decree, vanquish evil!"

He pointed his peach wood sword, and a faint flash of lightning streaked across the tip.

The little girl giggled, and in a flash, she disappeared from the spot.

Zhang Tianyu was taken aback.

What a great speed!

"Master—she—she ran away?" Young Master Wang asked in a trembling voice.

A bead of cold sweat appeared on Zhang Tianyu's forehead, but he remained defiant.

"Hmph, luckily she ran fast! Otherwise, this sword strike would have surely annihilated her soul!"

The voice just fell.

"Bang!"

In the main hall, the sofa covered with a white cloth suddenly had the cloth blown off.

A zombie dressed in Qing Dynasty official robes, whose body was half-rotten, sat up straight from the sofa.

The corpse aura emanating from it caused the temperature in the entire hall to drop even further.

Before anyone could react...

On the ceiling, a female ghost, her body swollen as if she had been soaked in water for a long time, climbed down upside down, her long hair trailing on the ground.

From the kitchen came the sound of a cleaver chopping.

In the bathroom, the toilet seat opened by itself, and a human head slowly rose from inside.

From all directions, from inside the walls and from under the floor, all sorts of ghostly creatures, each with a different shape and a tragic death, crawled out.

They surrounded Zhang Tianyu, Wang Shao, and the others.

"Oh my god!"

Wang Shao and his group completely collapsed.

Screams and cries filled the air.

Zhang Tianyu was completely panicked.

This is no earthbound spirit!

This is a whole nest!

A haunted house made up of countless evil spirits!

The peach wood sword in his hand trembled like a leaf.

"Don't come any closer! I'm Zhang Tianyu from Longhu Mountain! If you come any closer, I won't be polite!"

His threats seemed so weak and ineffective.

The ghosts let out shrill laughter and approached step by step.

Just when Zhang Tianyu thought he was going to die here today.

"It's so noisy."

A calm voice came from the second floor.

All the ghosts froze in their movements.

They all turned their heads in unison and looked towards the second floor.

Lin Che was seen holding Su Hongyi's hand as they slowly walked down the stairs.

Su Hongyi was holding an apple in her hand, eating it in small bites, seemingly uninterested in the scene of a hundred ghosts walking at night.

Those fierce and menacing ghosts froze the moment they saw Su Hongyi.

The black aura emanating from them dissipated rapidly, as if they had encountered their nemesis.

That overwhelming resentment instantly crumbled.

All the ghosts showed expressions of extreme terror.

They trembled as if they had witnessed the most indescribable horror in the world.

"Thump."

The little girl who appeared first was the first to kneel down, prostrating herself in Su Hongyi's direction.

Followed by.

"Splash! Splash! Splash!"

All the ghosts in the hall, whether zombies or hanged ghosts, knelt down.

They lay on the ground, not daring to lift their heads.

The entire villa was deathly quiet.

Wang Shao and the others stared wide-eyed, their mouths agape.

Zhang Tianyu was terrified, and the peach wood sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

He looked at the woman in red, and at the lowly, dust-like demons surrounding her, and an utterly absurd thought exploded in his mind.

This is not human.

This isn't a ghost.

This is—the Emperor!

The King of Demons!

Lin Che didn't look at the ghosts kneeling on the ground, nor at Zhang Tianyu and the others who were already terrified.

He walked to the center of the hall and looked around.

Then, he gave instructions to the system.

"Homeland relocation, right here."

[Ding! New available space detected — Determination: Perfectly meets the upgrade requirements for the [Homestead] module!]

The instant the instruction is completed.

The entire villa came to life.

The vines on the wall bloomed with bewitching blood-red flowers.

The broken crystal chandelier lit up again, emitting a crimson glow.

The cold, decaying smell in the air was replaced by a crisp scent with a faint hint of sandalwood.

Lin Che walked to the French windows and looked at Wang Shao and the others outside, who were already terrified and running wildly down the mountain. His face remained expressionless.

Su Hongyi leaned gently against him from behind.

"My lord, do you like it here?"

"If you like it, then I like it too."

Lin Che drew back the curtains and looked down at the city below, its lights twinkling in the night.

Starting today.

This is his true throne in this world.

The capital city, 300 meters underground.

There are no windows here, and the air is filtered by a separate life support system, carrying a cold smell of metal and ozone.

The enormous circular conference table has a surface material that absorbs all light, giving it an abyss-like black color.

The holographic projection directly above is fixed on a topographical map of the eastern suburbs of Jiangcheng.

One of the villas, labeled "Linjiang No. 1," was emitting an eerie, pulsating red light, like a beating heart.

There were more than a dozen people sitting in the conference room.

There were elderly men wearing dark military uniforms without rank insignia, and middle-aged men wearing simple Zhongshan suits who looked no different from ordinary government officials.

But everyone possesses an air of authority that comes with long-held power.

Qin Shan stood upright, like a javelin.

He had just finished his report, and his forehead was covered in fine sweat.

Here, he, one of the three executives of the Dragon Sparrow Kingdom's Supernatural Bureau, was merely a reporter who was entitled to stand and speak.
