An eerie event occurs, and the protagonist is forced to marry a fierce and cunning woman in red at t

Having gone through so much, Ling Chen no longer harbored any hatred towards the school beauty and class monitor.

She only had a crush on him back then, and she had the right to choose. As for whether she would be happy or not, that was her own business.

So when he saw her crying her eyes out, Ling Chen didn't comfort her, but walked straight towards Liu's Cloth Shop.

The signboard of Liu's Cloth Shop has faded somewhat, and the dark brown patches are hard to tell whether they are paint or dried blood.

Two red lanterns hung in front of the door, emitting a faint light, with liquid dripping from them from time to time.

"You apprentices, get in here right now! I didn't bring you here to just sit around and do nothing. Get in here and get to work!"

The owner of Liu's shop was a pale-faced man wearing ill-fitting clothes, through which one could see segments of white bone.

Ling Chen pretended to be calm and was the first to walk in.

When others saw this, they followed suit.

Before entering the instance, they had all done their homework and understood that ignoring the strange words meant certain death.

If you obey, there might still be hope for survival.

Seeing everyone leave, the school beauty who was sitting on the ground crying suddenly cried even louder.

She didn't dare linger and hurriedly caught up with everyone.

He chased them straight into the cloth shop, and suddenly saw Ling Chen there. The man rushed towards him like a madman.

"It's you! It must be you..."

Seeing the other person acting like a madman, Ling Chen simply pulled away the other person's hand that was grabbing his clothes and pushed the person to the ground.

"Can't you use your brain? If I had that kind of ability, I wouldn't be here."

After Ling Chen finished speaking, he didn't bother to look at the other person again.

As for the others, they remained indifferent and watched from the beginning, without any intention of intervening.

The shopkeeper, who had been watching the two struggling, had his eyes flashing with blue-green flames. But when he saw them separate and the school beauty stop bothering him, she just sat on the ground and cried, revealing a hint of disappointment.

Although Ling Chen noticed the change in the shopkeeper's expression, he simply assumed that the strange creature also liked to gossip and didn't think much of it.

The group arrived at Liu's Cloth Shop. The room was eerily gloomy, sending chills down their spines.

"Everything is here, you can choose for yourselves."

After finishing his sentence, the eccentric shopkeeper went straight back to the counter, seemingly busy with something.

Lingcheng and the others looked at the six red wedding dresses in front of them, each with an introduction.

[A demon lives inside this wedding dress; whoever wears it will be skinned and have their tendons ripped out.]

This is a wedding dress that the bride sewed herself. She believed she would be the happiest person in the world. However, on her wedding day, her husband married someone else. Unable to bear the humiliation, the bride threw herself into a well while still wearing her wedding dress. She desperately needed someone to wear the wedding dress in her place...

【…】

The six wedding dresses were all bizarre, and no one present dared to choose one.

"This is meant to send us to our deaths. How could anyone buy something like this?"

"I don't want to choose this kind of thing, I want to leave here."

"Haha...you're all going to die, Ling Chen, you're going to die too..." The school beauty said viciously to Ling Chen.

Originally, everyone thought that as long as they obeyed, they could leave the eerie instance alive.

But the bizarre wedding dresses before them shattered everyone's expectations; it was simply an impossible task.

Only Ling Chen looked at the wedding dress with a thoughtful expression.

"The cheap wedding dress is only 30 ghost coins each. I wonder if she will like it if I buy it."

While pondering, Ling Chen suddenly heard the words of the cunning shopkeeper.

"Hurry up, someone's coming to our door soon. If you keep dawdling, I'll turn you all into food."

The cunning shopkeeper's threat also worked. Although everyone knew they were going to die, there are many kinds of death, and being able to delay death by even a minute was a good thing.

Everyone was quick; even the school beauty who was crying chose a wedding dress immediately.

By the time Ling Chen realized what was happening, only the last wedding dress remained in front of him.

This is a wedding dress from the woman in red, radiating an eerie charm.

Her wedding night should have been beautiful, but instead, she was met not with her beloved husband, but with the massacre of her entire family.

The wedding procession that was supposed to arrive was instead ruthless bandits; that night, the entire Zhao family was wiped out.

This is a cursed wedding dress; only by giving it to one's beloved can the curse be broken.

[Price: 100 Ghost Coins]

This wedding dress is indeed the most beautiful and the most expensive, and Ling Chen likes it very much.

However, this is a striking red wedding dress, and I wonder if Zhao Ruoyun would dare to wear it after buying it.

She was even worried that he might misunderstand and think that he had ulterior motives for buying the wedding dress.

Ling Chen's mindset was different from everyone else's. He had Ghost Coins, which allowed him to buy the wedding dress himself and give it to Zhao Ruoyun. Therefore, he was not worried about dying in the dungeon at all.

His only worry now is that Zhao Ruoyun might not like it and might misunderstand his motives.

After all, Zhao Ruoyun's satisfaction level is related to Ling Chen's reward.

At this moment, Ling Chen was unaware that Zhao Ruoyun was hiding in the shadows, her eyes fixed on him.

"It seems that his desire to live made him temporarily abandon other ideas."

Zhao Ruoyun believes that Ling Chen's attitude towards the school beauty is simply because he feels that the school beauty might drag him down or even kill him, which is why the two of them have not taken any other actions.

So Zhao Ruoyun privately gave orders to the cunning shopkeeper.

"Give Ling Chen and that woman some hope to live. I want to see something happen between them."

"Yes, sir," the cunning shopkeeper replied respectfully.

After receiving Zhao Ruoyun's instructions, the cunning shopkeeper began to ponder the relationship between Mo Lingchen, Zhao Ruoyun, and the two others.

He knew that Zhao Ruoyun hated men the most, especially scumbags and unfaithful men; she would definitely kill those.

Now that he's being asked to go easy on Ling Chen, and also to go easy on that woman, his mind is starting to race.

"You, and you two, come here with me upstairs!"

After finishing his speech, the cunning shopkeeper called out names directly.

"I'm not going, I'm not going..."

Upon being called out, the school beauty began to resist fiercely.

In her mind, leaving him now would only lead to her death.

Ling Chen didn't even glance at the other person. After being called out, he had already arrived behind the Ghost Shopkeeper.

He has a life-saving charm on him, so he's not afraid of the cunning shopkeeper attacking him.

Moreover, before entering the eerie dungeon, Ling Chen had seen some rumors that as long as a special task was completed inside the eerie dungeon, one could bring out a ghost artifact, which was the only weapon humans had to deal with the eerie.

Ling Chen wanted to see if he had any chance of obtaining the mysterious artifact.

The shopkeeper was very satisfied with Ling Chen's cooperation, but his face was full of disgust for the school beauty who was kneeling and crying.

If the other party wasn't someone Zhao Ruoyun specifically requested to take care of, just the fact that he dared to refuse Gui Zhanggui would have been enough to kill her.

The cunning shopkeeper's face, already pale, now looked even more ferocious.

"If you don't want me to skin you alive and turn you into food, you'd better get over here right now!"

Seeing the cunning shopkeeper's anger, everyone except Ling Chen trembled with fear.
