“Uh, well…”

Xu Yang’s tightly closed eyelids uncontrollably trembled a couple of times. He tried hard to control his facial expression and said righteously, “How could the old man do this? Isn’t this a mess of a marriage arrangement?”

But in his heart, he was overjoyed.

Can such good things happen?

But why would the old man want to do this?

Five years ago?

The old man “committed suicide” four years ago. It’s understandable that he would arrange a marriage for himself before his “suicide” in case he couldn’t find a wife in the future. But back then, he was just an ordinary person. What’s the point of having a zombie as a wife for him?

Was he worried that entering the “Underworld” would make him a target for the people of Lu Shan Sect?

So he tried to get Yun Mengxi to protect him?

Yun Mengxi had indeed mentioned this before, but at that time, she had refused to die, only promising the old man that she would protect Xu Yang after she had regained her strength. Why did she change her mind now?

Did she fall in love with him after spending so much time together?

Xu Yang thought narcissistically, “It seems that only this explanation makes sense… It can’t be that she’s just craving for my body, right?”

Yun Mengxi continued with a resentful tone, “Does what you just said still count? Can this unequal treaty be voided?”

“Well… that’s not a good idea, is it?”

Xu Yang hesitated, “After all, you said you made a heavenly oath. What if something goes wrong? Wouldn’t it be bad for you?”

“Besides, it’s our parents’ orders and the matchmaker’s words. This has been the tradition of Da Xia since ancient times. I, Xu Yang, grew up without a father and mother and was abandoned by people in the cold wasteland. It was the old man who gave me a new life and raised me. He’s no longer in this world. How could I disobey the marriage arrangements he made when he was alive?”

By the time he finished speaking, Xu Yang’s tone had become agitated, “If I did that, would I still be human?”

Yun Mengxi fell silent for a while.

There were many Daoist talismans left by the old man in her tomb chamber. Even the coffin nails had the old man’s suppressive methods. It can be inferred that the old man must have visited her tomb chamber in those years.

Now that the old man’s soul has entered the Underworld, only Yun Mengxi knows about this “treaty”.

She came to Xu Yang for just one purpose –

Insomnia; she can’t sleep! Lying in the stone coffin, as soon as she closed her eyes, all she could think of were the “ghost stories” told by Xu Yang!

Logically speaking, with Yun Mengxi’s strength, she could handle most Ghost Kings, and when she saw Yin spirits and fierce ghosts, she would just pick up her watermelon knife and attack… She wasn’t afraid of real Yin spirits and fierce ghosts, but she was scared of ghost stories!

It’s just like how most people don’t believe in the existence of ghosts in this world, but when they hear ghost stories, they still feel scared.

So she said, “Since that’s the case… I can’t sleep, you accompany me to sleep.”

“Huh?”

Xu Yang was taken aback, “This isn’t very good, is it? Shishi and the others are still upstairs. I think we should talk to them about this first…”

“What’s wrong with it?”

Yun Mengxi said, “Since I’m your wife, isn’t it right for you to accompany me in bed?”

With that, she pulled Xu Yang into the bed before he could object.

Then she put on her clothes and went to sleep, burrowing under the summer quilt and sighing, “Finally, I can have a good night’s sleep tonight…”

Xu Yang was at a loss for words.

At this point, how could he not understand Yun Mengxi’s thoughts?

Is this… just to have a good night’s sleep?

Even at the cost of becoming my wife?

Isn’t this sacrifice too big?

However, it was obviously not right to kick Yun Mengxi out of bed at this point… So Xu Yang quietly snuck under the quilt with her.

Yun Mengxi jumped up like a frightened rabbit, and immediately cursed in the tone of a gang leader from Causeway Bay, “What are you doing? Get lost… If you dare touch me, I’ll cut off your third leg!”

“I’m blind, what can I do?”

Xu Yang said, “It’s hot in the summer, and I haven’t slept in a long time… If I get a little closer to you, I’ll sleep better and you’ll feel safer now. Isn’t it a win­win situation?”

He paused and added, “Besides, we’ve already… hehehe…”

Yun Mengxi didn’t say anything more.

But Xu Yang could clearly feel her body trembling…

He first got into the quilt.

After a while, he moved like a caterpillar, making their bodies stick together.

Yun Mengxi’s body trembled again.

She pretended to be asleep, her breathing was steady… The whole person… no, the whole zombie!

She curled up into a ball with her back to Xu Yang-

Xu Yang pretended to be asleep as well.

He turned around and put his body on top of Yun Mengxi’s.

In the darkness, Yun Mengxi suddenly opened her eyes. She twisted her body uncomfortably, feeling something poking her, and couldn’t help but curse – “Damn!”

“Is Xu Yang a pervert… sleeping with his hammer?”

She instinctively reached out to grab that “hammer handle.”

With this grab…

Her body involuntarily shuddered.

And Xu Yang…

As a young man full of vitality, he had already reached his limit. Immediately, he turned over…

“Ah… what are you doing?”

Yun Mengxi panicked and screamed.

“Ding!”

“The zombie is frightened, too merit points added, and physique +1.”

Xu Yang was shocked and scanned with his spiritual power, immediately sensing Liu Shishi, Yue Yuluo, and Yang Yin, the three ghosts, quickly descending from the second floor. They were obviously alarmed by Yun Mengxi’s scream.

“What the hell are you screaming for!”

Xu Yang gritted his teeth…

One minute later.

The door opened.

The three beautiful ghosts peeked in, only to see Xu Yang sitting next to the stone coffin, telling a story –

“Peppa Pig called Suzy Sheep and asked, ‘Suzy, can you whistle?’”

“Just pucker up your lips and blow…”

“Huh?”

He turned his head in surprise and said, “Shishi, Yuluo, Yinyin… you guys aren’t asleep yet?”

Yue Yuluo said, “Husband, what was that sound just now? Were you messing with Mengxi again?”

Xu Yang twitched the corner of his mouth and lied with his eyes closed, “Your sister Mengxi couldn’t sleep, so she asked me to tell her a story to help her fall asleep… maybe I just told a story that was too scary, and it scared her?”

Yue Yuluo seemed to understand, mumbling, “Mengxi is so powerful, is she actually afraid of horror stories?”

However, it was Liu Shishi whose eyes met with Yang Yin’s, showing a hint of doubt, and said, “Since there’s nothing wrong, we’ll go back first… Your eyes are injured, so you should rest early.”

With that, she pulled Yang Yin and Yue Yuluo back to their bedroom.

“Elder sister!”

Once back in the bedroom, Yang Yin said, “Something seems off between the boss and Mengxi.”

Liu Shishi smiled and said, “This is a good thing. After all, Yuluo and I are ghosts, and we can’t have children for Xu Yang… unless one day we manage to cultivate to the legendary Ghost Immortal Realm, shed our Yin Bodies, and rebuild our flesh. But how easy is it to achieve the Ghost Immortal Realm?”

“Yun Mengxi has a unique body. Although she is a zombie, her body is structurally no different from a human’s. If she and Xu Yang can become a couple, it would fulfill one of my wishes.”

Yue Yuluo clapped her hands in excitement, saying, “In this way, we can really become sisters with Mengxi…”

Suddenly.

Her tone turned a bit sad, “It’s a pity that my elder sister is so busy managing the Ghost Market. If she could be with us, wouldn’t it be even better?”

This sentence rendered Liu Shishi and Yang Yin speechless.

Liu Shishi even poked Yue Yuluo’s forehead with her finger, saying helplessly in a tone that hinted she wished Yue Yuluo were more capable, “You… you, this little girl, who else would try to find more women for their husband?”

Yue Yuluo tilted her head and thought for a while, seriously saying, “But that’s my elder sister, not some random woman… moreover, there’s an old human saying called ‘don’t let the water you gain flow to someone else’s field’…”

Liu Shishi was momentarily at a loss for words, not knowing whether Yue Yuluo was referring to Xu Yang or her elder sister as the “water.”

She thought for a moment, looked at Yang Yin, and asked, “Yang Yin, what do you think?”

“All…”

Yang Yin was taken aback, “What do I think about what?”

“Yuluo is right. Xu Yang has given you the Soul Condensing Bead, which shows his sincerity. If you are willing, let’s do this together during the wedding.”

Yang Yin blushed and lowered her head, coyly saying, “I… I’ll listen to my sister.”

On the first floor.

In the nanny’s room.

In front of the stone coffin, Xu Yang patted his chest, “That was close… Almost got exposed!”

The coffin lid silently opened, and Yun Mengxi sat straight up in the coffin, sticking out her tongue, “That was so thrilling, is this what an affair feels like?” What the hell!

Xu Yang couldn’t help but curse, “What the hell are you talking about?”

“You were so close to me, and you won’t even let me scream?”

Yun Mengxi’s face turned red, but who was she?

On the matter of momentum, she absolutely couldn’t lose, so she countered, “Besides, I’m still a virgin, isn’t it normal to be a little scared on my first time doing this kind of thing?”

“Heh!”

Xu Yang provoked, “You brag about being the Gang Leader of Causeway Bay and the Xiangjiang War Goddess… I say you’re just a coward!”

“You dare call me a coward?”

Yun Mengxi got angry.

The thing she couldn’t stand the most was being provoked.

If it were anyone else, she would’ve probably jumped up and chopped them down… But this was Xu Yang, so she couldn’t bring herself to do it. Instead, she reached out and yanked his collar, pulling him into the stone coffin in one swoop.

“What are you doing?”

“Mmm…”

Xu Yang panicked, thinking that she might be getting angry out of shame and want to hurt him.

He wanted to resist, but…

Even though he had gained a lot of “physique +1,” how could he compete with a zombie in terms of strength?

Yun Mengxi held him down and sneered, “Today, I’ll showyou how powerful I am!”

With that said.

Rip!

She tore off Xu Yang’s clothes!

Xu Yang: ”     ”

He suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes!
