Chapter 8 is over, and there's been a huge misunderstanding.
After having dinner with Zhao Ruoyun, Ling Chen realized that the mission was not yet completed and asked about it again.
"Do you like these wedding dresses? If not, I can buy more."
"This one will do!" Zhao Ruoyun said calmly, pointing to the wedding dress embroidered with phoenix and peony patterns.
The wedding dress that originally belonged to her was bought by Ling Chen and given to her again, as if the wedding dress had taken on a new meaning.
[Ding! Quest completed, obtained the Locking Yang Technique.]
[The Yang-Locking Technique: Practicing this technique ensures that one's yang energy will not be leaked during unnatural sexual intercourse with a woman.]
Become!
Upon hearing the system notification in his mind, Ling Chen's excitement was palpable.
He discovered that giving the system-rewarded items to Zhao Ruoyun wouldn't generate new rewards; however, he could exchange the system rewards for other items, and the system would then acknowledge them.
Moreover, this system reward is exactly what Lingcheng urgently needs.
The two are already in a ghost marriage relationship, and who knows when they might take things further.
Ling Chen used to worry that his small body couldn't withstand it and that he wouldn't be able to handle it after a few times.
With the penis-shrinking technique, there are no more worries, and I can get closer to Zhao Ruoyun at any time.
After Zhao Ruoyun finished choosing her wedding dress, she saw Ling Chen's excited expression and was somewhat dazed.
Does he really like us that much? I'm so excited just because I'm happy with the wedding dress he gave me. Maybe he's the one destined for me.
"I'll get rid of the other wedding dresses; it's not good to keep these things at home," Ling Chen said cautiously.
"Not good? It's not good to have weird things at home, so it's even worse for me to be here."
Zhao Ruoyun, who was originally touched, immediately became dissatisfied upon hearing Ling Chen's words.
"No, no, no, you misunderstood, that's not what I meant."
Ling Chen explained while thinking to himself.
"Everyone used to say that women are troublesome, and I didn't believe it. Now I do. One second they're all smiles, and the next they're turning on you."
Just as Ling Chen was struggling with how to comfort Zhao Ruoyun, a knock suddenly sounded at the door.
"I'll go open the door first," Ling Chen said, then turned and ran.
Watching Ling Chen's departing figure, Zhao Ruoyun smiled slightly; she had clearly been teasing him.
At the door, Ling Chen looked at the strange woman standing outside with a puzzled expression.
Liu Yiyi looked at Ling Chen, momentarily shocked, but her expression immediately turned gloomy.
What are you doing here?
"This is my home," Ling Chen said. "Do we know each other?"
Liu Yiyi really wanted to say that she was the Ghost Shopkeeper, but in the end she didn't say it.
Instead, she pushed Ling Chen aside and walked directly into the room. Once she saw Zhao Ruoyun, she quickened her pace.
"Miss."
As Liu Yiyi was speaking, she was about to bow, but Zhao Ruoyun stopped her.
"From now on, you'll live here with me, and Ling Chen will cover both of our expenses," Zhao Ruoyun said.
"Him? Miss..."
Liu Yiyi looked at Ling Chen with a suspicious expression.
Zhao Ruoyun knew that Liu Yiyi had many questions, so she waved her hand to signal her to wait a moment, and then gave instructions to Ling Chen.
"The food you just made was delicious. Go buy some more and cook a meal for Liu Yiyi too."
Ling Chen knew that they didn't want him to hear their next conversation.
At the same time, another strange thing came to the house. Ling Chen needed time to calm down, so he readily agreed and turned to leave.
After hearing the door close, Zhao Ruoyun briefly introduced her situation.
"My situation is a bit special. Ling Chen and I are now in a ghost marriage, which cannot be dissolved in a short time."
"Besides, Ling Chen passed all the tests I put him through, so I had no reason to kill him."
"From what I've seen so far, Ling Chen seems like a decent person. Please keep an eye on him for me during this time."
After Zhao Ruoyun finished explaining, Liu Yiyi realized that Ling Chen didn't know Zhao Ruoyun's identity in the dungeon.
Even those strange coins belonged to Ling Chen himself.
"Miss, I misunderstood the young master before. Should I apologize to him?"
Liu Yiyi noticed Zhao Ruoyun's emotions when she talked about Ling Chen, and was surprised that Miss Zhao would accept Ling Chen. This made her want to apologize to Ling Chen.
"No need, he doesn't know your current identity anyway."
As the two were talking, the knocking on the door sounded again.
"Miss, he's quite polite; he knew to knock on the door to let us know he was back," Liu Yiyi said with a smile.
After hearing Zhao Ruoyun's explanation, her misunderstanding of Ling Chen disappeared. In addition, she felt that Ling Chen would eventually become the son-in-law, so her attitude changed accordingly.
Zhao Ruoyun did not answer Liu Yiyi's question, but simply told her to open the door.
"Here it comes, here it comes."
Liu Yiyi opened the door with a smile.
Did you just realize that it wasn't Ling Chen outside the door, but a man and a woman?
Both were dressed in black, form-fitting combat uniforms, looking capable and efficient; they were Zhang Tianyu and Captain Su Qing.
Upon seeing someone open the door, before Zhang Tianyu could even speak, the alarm on his body went off.
"Beep beep beep!"
"Hmm! Weird?"
Upon hearing the alarm, Zhang Tianyu and Liu Yiyi's expressions changed, and they immediately distanced themselves from Liu Yiyi.
Before Liu Yiyi could react, the two attacked.
As the director of the Bureau of Mysterious Investigations, Zhang Tianyu possesses six mysterious artifacts, while Su Qing also has three.
If the two of them were to make a direct move now, they could hold their own against the red-clothed Li Gui, let alone Liu Yiyi.
The moment she made her move, Liu Yiyi was sent flying and crashed into the wall behind her.
Hearing the commotion at the door and seeing Liu Yiyi's miserable state, Zhao Ruoyun was completely enraged.
"Beep beep beep!"
The alarm blared more urgently, and both men's expressions changed simultaneously.
"Oh no, there's a supernatural being of the Red-Clad Demon level!" Zhang Tianyu shouted.
At this moment, he dared not relax in the slightest, and all six of his magical artifacts were fully activated.
"Take care of this weirdo on the ground first."
Seeing that the two were about to kill Liu Yiyi, Zhao Ruoyun was furious.
"Did Ling Chen send you?"
Zhao Tianyu and his companion had serious expressions and did not answer.
In Zhao Ruoyun's view, her whereabouts could not have been exposed. The fact that the enemy appeared here and made a direct attack must be related to the early morning.
Seeing that the two remained silent, Zhao Ruoyun became impolite and spoke in a sinister tone.
"Since you're not going to talk, then go die."
The four fought, and the sound of their collisions echoed throughout the entire building.
Even Ling Chen, who was hiding downstairs in peace, heard it.
"What's going on? It looks like a fight has broken out up there."
"This noise doesn't sound like something a human could make. Could it be that the two guys in the house are fighting?"
Thinking of this, Ling Chen's first thought was to go up and take a look.
At this moment, all he felt was worry for Zhao Ruoyun's safety.
After all, if Zhao Ruoyun dies, his system will also disappear, and he will become an ordinary person again.
This is something Ling Chen doesn't want to see.
Having witnessed the strangeness of this world and realized the power of the system, Ling Chen knew he had to protect Zhao Ruoyun.
