Chapter 119: Marry the Painted Wife and Give Birth to a Ghost (1)
“Son, it’s not polite to marry one wife and three concubines at the same time!”
“How about this, you marry a wife first. How about taking in three concubines a month later?”
After being stunned for a while, Father Su gave a more reasonable plan.
“Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
After pondering for a moment, Su Mu nodded in agreement to his father’s suggestion.
Some things really couldn’t be rushed. They had to do it step by step.
“Good! I’ll go and find a candidate for you now!”
Upon hearing this, Father Su became excited and prepared to find a virtuous and beautiful wife for his precious son.
..
Great Gan’s marriage paid attention to the rules of etiquette. The six ceremonies of accepting the bride, asking for her name, inviting the bride, asking for a date, and welcoming the bride could not be missed.
Fortunately, Su Mu didn’t need to care about these things, as his father was in charge of everything.
Half a month later, the Su family’s courtyard was decorated with lanterns and streamers.
Today was Su Mu’s big day!
After going through all the procedures and dealing with the guests, Su Mu walked towards the wedding room.
It was funny to say that even now, Su Mu still didn’t know what his new wife looked like, and even when she got married, she would be covered with a red veil.
Su Mu only knew that she was called Yu Hanmei, the daughter of a wealthy merchant in the city, and was fifteen this year.
She was at the age of a third-year female student carrying a gold brick.
However, at least she looked like she had a good figure. She had a big body and a small body.
After walking a little closer, Su Mu could see the red candles flickering in the bridal chamber, the atmosphere charming.
This made him smile.
When he reached the door, Su Mu’s smile suddenly froze.
Through the window, he saw a bride wearing a phoenix crown sitting in front of the mirror. She first lifted the red veil and then lifted her face!
Yes, it was! The entire human skin was peeled off by her, revealing the bloody and hideous face!
This was actually an evil spirit with a green-red face and sharp teeth!
After she took off the human skin, she used a colorful brush to carefully draw the human skin in front of the mirror, as if she was painting.
The human skin painting was extremely beautiful.
However, the more she did so, the more it accentuated the viciousness and horror of her face!
..
“That father of mine is really unreliable! He said that he found a good wife for me, but in the end, he found a ghost!”
This scene was extremely terrifying.
If it was an ordinary person, they would have been scared half to death and fled in panic.
But who was Su Mu?
He wasn’t frightened, but he was speechless. At the same time, he was thinking about how to deal with the current situation.
He would rush in and let the female ghost kill him, then tell his father-in-law.
Your daughter is a ghost. I killed her yesterday!
In that case, would his father-in-law report it to the authorities?
Should, probably, perhaps…No way!
After all, he was doing a good deed of slaying demons…
Just as Su Mu was feeling vexed, a gentle voice called out from within the room.
“Since husband is already outside, why don’t you come in? Do you think I’m ugly?”
Towards the end of her sentence, her voice carried a hint of sobs, and it could not help but make people feel pity for her.
Just by listening to this voice, one would think that it was a beautiful and charming wife.
As expected, women who didn’t show their faces couldn’t be trusted!
They would all be regarded as painted ghosts!
“He’s here.”
Su Mu agreed and pushed the door in.
He saw a charming and beautiful woman sitting by the window, looking at him with a shy smile.
“In this short period of time, she has already put on the painted skin?”
Su Mu looked at his bride and pondered.
“Aiya!”
Just as he was thinking, the beautiful bride suddenly exclaimed.
Then, half of his face fell off, revealing his bloody, hideous, and terrifying face!
This was really half pink and half skeleton. The huge difference made this scene even more terrifying!
The female ghost didn’t have any intention of saving him, her face drooping as she tilted her head to look at Su Mu, a strange smile appearing on her face.
“Husband, my makeup is smudged. Do you mind? Hehehe!”
Accompanied by a series of cold laughter, the doors and windows of the bridal room suddenly opened, and a cold wind blew.
That scene was very frightening!
Anyone who saw it would scream in panic that it was haunted.
However, Su Mu calmly closed the door and windows and sealed the talisman.
Then, he turned to the female ghost and said seriously,
“To be honest, I still mind.”
“How about this, I’ll give you some time. After you fix your makeup, we’ll continue with the bridal chamber.”
“But you have to hurry up! As the saying goes, a moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold. I can’t waste any more time!”
The female ghost was speechless.
..
The female ghost was stunned. This was different from what she had imagined!
Just as he was in a daze, Su Mu suddenly made his move.
Regardless of whether he wanted to kill or sleep, he had to subdue her first!
“Yin Yang Mystic Art, suppress!”
Su Mu threw out a ghost-suppressing talisman and pressed it against the female ghost’s forehead.
However, when he used a talisman, he sensed that something was wrong.
This female ghost’s aura didn’t seem like an ordinary ghost.
It seemed like…It was a little special!
Just as he was thinking, Su Mu saw the female ghost with the talisman on her forehead blink at him, showing no signs of being suppressed.
This time, it was Su Mu’s turn to be stunned.
Why was this talisman useless?
Before he could figure out what was going on with the woman, the female ghost opened her mouth and spat out. In an instant, the green gas became hazy and engulfed the entire room.
Su Mu’s vision blurred and he suddenly felt like he was falling.
This kind of feeling would make people feel at a loss and lose their composure.
Su Mu knew very well that this was a type of illusion spell.
“Break!”
Su Mu hurriedly chanted the Heart Cleansing Incantation and bit the tip of his tongue to spit out a mouthful of blood essence.
At the same time, he took out an ancient greenish-bronze sword and stabbed in the direction of the female ghost.
This ancient greenish-bronze sword was something Su Mu had taken out from the antique shop.
Although he didn’t know whose sword it was, it was an ancient sword that was filled with a murderous aura!
After Su Mu’s refinement, the sword became a magic tool that could break through evil miasma.
At this moment, he used it to deal with this female ghost, which was just the right counter.
..
Accompanied by Su Mu’s shout, a cloud of golden blood sprayed out.
The green miasma dissipated along with it, revealing the original appearance of the bridal chamber.
Su Mu’s face was filled with killing intent as he fiercely stabbed his sword towards the female ghost.
However, just as his sword was about to hit, he suddenly stopped.
The person in front of him was not a hideous and terrifying Painted Skin Ghost, but a delicate lady with a cold face and jade-like skin.
Could it be that he had put on his painted skin again?
No!
The Heart Cleansing Spell he had just cast could break through illusions and see through the essence of things.
Could it be…Was this her true face?
But why was she pretending to be a ghost to scare people?
Su Mu didn’t understand, but he didn’t give her a good look.
“Who exactly are you?”
Su Mu pointed his sword at her neck and asked coldly.
“You… You are a Qi Practitioner?”
Yu Hanmei, who was wearing a phoenix crown, opened her mouth slightly and asked in disbelief.
“Why do you care if I’m a Qi Practitioner or not? Who exactly are you? Or rather… What is it!”
“Hurry up and tell me, or don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
Su Mu shouted.
He used the Observing Qi Technique to look at the woman.
There was 30% human qi, 30% ghost qi, and 30% demon qi on her.
The remaining ten percent seemed to be immortal energy, with a hint of thunder.
Su Mu had never seen such a strange existence before.
What did he marry?
His father was really good at picking people!
“I am indeed Yu Hanmei. However, a few years ago, I experienced some strange things.”
Seeing Su Mu’s baleful aura, Yu Hanmei didn’t dare to waste any more time and quickly told him what had happened to her.
..
The bride that Su Mu had married was indeed the daughter of that rich merchant, Yu Hanmei.
However, three years ago, she had experienced a strange incident, which led to her current state.
That day, Yu Hanmei had gotten rid of her maidservant and was playing alone in the suburbs.
In the evening, he was lost in the forest and could not walk out no matter how hard he tried!
Just as night was about to fall, a huge and terrifying fox demon suddenly came out of the thicket and attacked her.
Yu Hanmei was just an ordinary girl. Although she was somewhat intelligent, how could she withstand the attack of a demon?
In the blink of an eye, he was badly mutilated and on the verge of death.
His internal organs had been dug out!
Just as it was about to die, a bolt of purple lightning suddenly struck down from the sky and killed the fox demon.
Even Yu Hanmei was bathed in the endless lightning, and all she could see was blue-purple lightning!
This attack made her lose consciousness.
When she woke up again, she was already in bed at home.
Miraculously, other than being a little weak, Yu Hanmei was actually fine!
She clearly remembered that she had been attacked by the fox demon and even had her intestines cut open.
However, when she woke up, there was not a single wound on her body. Everything was fine.
It was very magical!
According to Yu Hanmei’s family, when she did not return that evening, her father had sent servants to search for her.
In the end, he found her unconscious in the woods, but there were no wounds on her body.
After sleeping for seven days, Yu Hanmei finally woke up.
After a period of recuperation, Yu Hanmei returned to normal.
She began to suspect that what happened that evening was just a dream, or that she had encountered miasma in the forest and had hallucinated.
However, as time passed, Yu Hanmei gradually realized that something was wrong with her body!
She looked like a human yet not a human, like a ghost yet not a ghost, like a demon yet not a demon.
Moreover, it had some strange abilities!
For example, his body could become transparent and he could pass through walls.
Another example was the transformation of his palm into a fox claw, which was extremely powerful!
It could even grow a fox tail!
The half-human, half-fox appearance was actually quite cute.
There were also some… Charming.
..
Yu Hanmei was just an ordinary girl before, so she didn’t understand these things.
She flipped through many books, but she still could not figure out what was wrong with her.
At the same time, he didn’t dare to ask others, afraid that he would reveal his secret and become a monster in the eyes of others.
However, Yu Hanmei was certain that something was wrong with her body!
Let’s talk about Su Mu and Yu Hanmei’s marriage.
It was the so-called parents ‘orders and matchmaker’s words.
Yu Hanmei didn’t object to the marriage after the parents had decided on it.
Because she knew that she would get married sooner or later, and this day would come sooner or later.
However, Yu Hanmei discovered that she couldn’t be intimate with others for a long time.
Her two personal maids had been injured before and had been weak for a long time!
Yu Hanmei had discovered this early on. Otherwise, if they had spent more time together, who knew what would have happened to the two maids ‘bodies!
In Yu Hanmei’s current state, she really couldn’t become a virtuous wife.
Therefore, she had a little idea.
He decided to use a small spell on their wedding night to disguise himself as a ghost to scare Su Mu away.
Who would have thought that the young master in her eyes was actually a Qi Practitioner with a high cultivation base?
..
After listening to Yu Hanmei’s explanation, Su Mu felt that this situation was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
Whether it was the dungeon world or the world, Su Mu was constantly reading and learning.
He had read a lot of miscellaneous books, so he knew a lot of unpopular things.
After recalling for a moment, Su Mu finally remembered.
He had once recorded in a broken ancient book about an existence that was somewhat similar to Yu Hanmei.
This thing was called a heavenly ghost!
