Funeral store.
Store entrance.
Liu Shishi took out the invitation and infused it with Yin energy.
The next moment, the character “Yue” on the invitation wriggled and flew up, before exploding into a cloud of blood-red Yin energy with a “bang”.
The blood-red Yin energy circled in the night sky for a few rounds before flying off in the southeast direction.
“Yang Yin!”
“Let’s go, follow it!”
Liu Shishi grabbed Yang Yin and leapt into the air, closely following the blood- red Yin energy.
As she flew, she looked down at the road below.
However.
She couldn’t find the “wedding procession”.
At this time.
On top of the bridal sedan.
Xu Yang, weak and powerless, felt tears slipping from the corners of his eyes.
“I’m so stupid.”
“Not listening to the old man’s words, I’m suffering now… Elder Wang clearly told me the taboos and rules of the Ghost Market, but I insisted on breaking them. I brought this upon myself!”
“Sorry, Shishi…”
Just then, the bridal sedan trembled.
Xu Yang felt that the wedding procession had halted; outside, the sounds of gongs and drums were louder, and the suona music changed to the tune of “A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix”.
There were also bursts of children’s laughter.
Someone shouted aloud-
“The groom is here!”
“Please get off the bridal sedan, the groom!”
A paper-made old woman flew into the sedan and draped a red veil over Xu Yang’s head.
“!!!”
Xu Yang was too weak to resist; he could only curse in his heart.
Two paper people, “A Da” and “A San”, came into the bridal sedan and helped Xu Yang out.
Outside, firecrackers exploded.
Xu Yang couldn’t turn his head, so he could only rely on his peripheral vision to see that through the veil, there were strings of human head lanterns continuously bursting, emitting a massive amount of blood fog.
Well, damn!
In big cities, people use balloons to simulate firecrackers, but these ghosts were even more extreme, exploding human heads directly.
As the firecrackers stopped, the playful children began singing nursery rhymes.
“The Yue family bride, marries the handsome groom.”
“The groom is Wu City’s handsome young man.”
“Paper people carry the bridal sedan, ants bring the dowry.”
“Bees bring gifts, bringing Hundred Flower Candy.”
“Spiders bring gifts, bringing beaded curtains.”
“Human head lanterns, brightly lit…”
Xu Yang became numb and couldn’t help but think, “Fine, since I can’t resist, I might as well enjoy it…”
He was helped by the paper people, walking towards a brightly lit mansion.
The mansion’s gate was tall and luxurious, with “Yue Mansion” written on it. On both sides of the gate stood two imposing armored guards wielding paper knives.
All around the mansion were human head lanterns holding red candles, the red candlelight casting a bloody hue over the entire mansion.
Inside the mansion, there were many ghosts, and above it, a heavy Yin energy hung like a cloud.
As Xu Yang was escorted into the mansion’s inner courtyard, he saw that the courtyard was filled with round tables, each one filled with various types of Yin spirits, ghostly creatures, and malevolent beings. Some had green faces and sharp fangs, while others bled from their orifices, were covered in sores, or had no heads.
Xu Yang even saw a giant toad.
The toad was as tall as a person, with huge, glowing green eyes, emitting a foul smell all over its body. Its aura, however, was extremely powerful, even stronger than that of the ugly red ghost.
Paper people busily moved between the guests, serving wine and food.
The dishes on the banquet table were filled with various animal innards, bloody and some even infested with maggots.
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, Xu Yang felt a jolt in his heart.
He saw…
Ma Long was sitting at a table.
He was chatting and laughing with a ghostly figure, dressed in an alluring manner, looking very affectionate.
What the hell!
Xu Yang was shocked.
The alluring ghost had long hair and was clearly a male ghost, its power even stronger than the ugly red ghost, making it a formidable red ghost.
Ordinarily, Ma Long’s pure Yin body should have rendered him immune to ordinary Yin spirits and ghostly creatures.
It was known that after his constitution had been fully awakened by the Yellow River female ghost, Ma Long could even see through Liu Shishi’s disguise, even though she wasn’t using any special tricks. This incident alone had proven the power of his “pure Yin body”.
Xu Yang wanted to take a closer look but was already being escorted into the room by the two paper people.
At the banquet table.
Ma Long picked up a “delicacy” and softly said to the alluring long-haired male ghost beside him, “Baby, open your mouth.”
At this moment, in Ma Long’s eyes, the long-haired ghost didn’t appear as it was, but as a delicate and charming girl.
The dishes on the table also didn’t resemble a pile of bloody, maggot-infested animal innards; instead, they looked like a delicious country feast.
Clearly, he was bewitched, both in heart and sight.
And this “girl”…
Ma Long had met her the day before yesterday when he went to a barbecue with his friends in the mountains.
They had fallen in love at first sight and started a relationship that very night.
Now…
Today, the “girl’s” relative was having a celebration, so she even brought Ma Long to the relative’s house for the banquet.
This filled Ma Long with a sense of happiness.
He took another bite of his meal and looked around at the bustling environment, then couldn’t help but say: “Your relatives really got an impressive son-in-law… No wonder you’re having a wedding this late at night.”
The mysterious male ghost suddenly looked up at the distant night sky.
“Such a strong presence… Ghost King?”
“Not good… ”
“My methods can’t deceive the Ghost King. If he finds out this guy’s specialty, won’t my efforts be in vain?”
His face changed slightly, and he quickly got up and grabbed Ma Long’s hand, coquettishly saying, “Darling, I suddenly remembered some urgent business to take care of back home, can you send me out of here first?”
Of course, Ma Long obeyed her request.
A man and a ghost, hand in hand, quickly left.
They had just left.
Swish!
A yin wind blew past.
Liu Shishi appeared with Yang Yin at the entrance of Yue Mansion.
Liu Shishi had a feeling and looked back at the distance, only to see a car quickly driving away in the night.
“Elder sister, what are you looking at?”
Yang Yin asked puzzledly.
Liu Shishi shook her head and said, “Nothing… let’s go in first.”
In her heart, however, she murmured.
That person just now…
Full of yin energy, was it Xu Yang’s friend?
But Liu Shishi’s mind was focused on Xu Yang, so she couldn’t pay attention and wasn’t sure. She could only think, “It shouldn’t be… Why would Xu Yang’s friend come here in the middle of the night?”
“Could it be that a ghost brought him to attend Miss Yue’s wedding?”
Upon entering Yue Mansion,
the women were seated at a table under the arrangement of the paper servants.
The arrival of the two women immediately attracted numerous gazes.
All the yin spirits and malevolent beings present looked over, and some ghosts revealed their greedy desires, saliva dripping from the corners of their mouths as they laughed, “Such beautiful young ladies…”
Slap!
Before he could finish speaking, his head was hammered into his gut by a fellow ghost who shouted in terror and anger, “Are you crazy… Don’t you see that one of them is the Ghost King?”
This was just a small episode.
As Liu Shishi took her seat, a woman dressed in a vermilion jacket with wide sleeves and a bridal coronet entered the room.
She was beautiful.
Her face was rather chubby and round, and she looked about 5.25 feet tall, giving off a petite and delicate appearance. She seemed to be about fifteen or sixteen years old…
Of course,
She was a ghost.
Moreover, she was among the top tier of red-clothed fierce ghosts.
According to her actual “living” age, she was probably several hundred years old.
She walked straight to Liu Shishi and said, “I’ve heard before that a mysterious Ghost King had come to Wu City, and I’ve always wanted to meet her but had no opportunity. I didn’t expect you to grace my Yue Mansion today and attend my wedding, really adding brilliance to this event.”
Then she curtsied and coquettishly said, “Ghost King elder sister, Yukio wasn’t able to greet you from afar and begs your forgiveness.”
Liu Shishi chatted with Miss Yue for a few moments and then asked with a smile, “By the way, Miss Yue, where is the groom?”
Miss Yue replied, “Elder sister, you may not know, but the groom is actually a son-in-law of Yue family. We haven’t had the wedding ceremony yet, so it’s inappropriate for him to show his face in this kind of situation.”
Xu Yang: “…”
How is that inappropriate, huh?!
Shishi, save me!!!
He was in the room and could hear the conversation outside. Although he didn’t know how Liu Shishi and Yang Yin had come to Yue Mansion, when he heard Liu Shishi’s voice, a glimmer of hope ignited in Xu Yang’s eyes.
He wanted to call for help but couldn’t utter any sound, so he could only cry out in his heart.
Miss Yue then exchanged pleasantries with many yin spirits and evil beings, mostly expressing gratitude for their attendance.
She looked at the sky and called a paper servant, asking, “How is my elder sister? Can she make it here?”
The paper servant respectfully replied, “Young Miss is still in the Ghost Market and cannot leave for the moment… I heard that a high-ranking official from the underworld is visiting today, and the young miss and others are receiving him.”
Miss Yue thought for a moment and said, “It’s almost sunrise… In that case, let the wedding start first, and tomorrow when my elder sister arrives, we can have another ceremony. Go and bring the groom!”
At the banquet,
Yang Yin whispered, “Elder sister, have you found Master Xu yet?”
Liu Shishi shook her head, looking calm and composed as she said, “There is indeed a living person’s aura in that room, but there’s also a prohibition set by Miss Yue… I could forcibly probe, but it would alert Miss Yue.”
“She treats us with respect, so we must not be rude… After all, we can’t confirm if that person really is Xu Yang. If we create a misunderstanding, my reputation will be ruined.”
“What should we do then?”
Yang Yin worriedly said, “If it really is Master Xu, isn’t he in danger?”
Liu Shishi laughed, “Since it’s a wedding, there must be a ceremony for them to bow to each other… When the groom bows, we will see his face. If it’s Xu Yang, we can just snatch him away. If not, we can just enjoy the banquet and watch the festivities.”
Yang Yin’s eyes lit up, and she gave a thumbs up, “As always, sister Shishi, you think things through.”
However, in the next moment,
Liu Shishi and Yang Yin were both shocked.
Because they saw… the groom, supported by two paper servants, wearing a veil and his face covered.
As for his figure?
The groom’s wedding attire was a bit loose, but looking at his figure, she couldn’t judge.
Liu Shishi stabilized her mind and looked around the room, then said, “Don’t panic, when they bow to each other later, the groom is bound to bow down… I can see his face then.”
“The auspicious time has come!”
At that moment, a paper servant shouted loudly, “Bring them to the bridal chamber!”

Xu Yang: “!!!”
