Lord Ghost Husband, Please Let Me Go - Chapter 2
Chapter 2 A Trail of Bloody Tears
Although I possessed Spirit Sight, that thing had genuinely given me terrible fright. Moreover, while I had seen little ghosts before, they never spoke to me but the one before me now…
It had clearly been talking to me just moments ago!
Beneath me, the distinct smell of urine arose.
“Young Mistress, it seems you’ve… leaked down there,” the young girl standing closest to me glanced over with extreme embarrassment, her expression utterly awkward…
The atmosphere instantly froze to an icy stillness.
“Haha, ha-ha, you actually pissed yourself from fear!” That ugly lizard ghost with a human face rolled on the ground laughing, even patting its belly in amusement. “My Young Master Wei, how could you pick such a timid bride? Won’t you scare the poor girl to death on your wedding night?”
Wedding night? What the hell?!
The lizard man still coiled at my feet, but at least it grew quieter and stopped speaking… Yet every time I glanced down, a chill ran down my spine.
After what felt like an eternity, a woman finally entered and informed me that the auspicious hour had arrived, urging me to hurry to the ceremony. Without another word, she dragged me away.
She led me through a long corridor, but before my eyes, an entirely different scene unfolded.
I saw…
Countless Fierce ghosts swarmed along the stone walls of the corridor, peering out at me with lewd curiosity. Some lacked feet, others had incomplete left hands, and some had half their ears sliced off. Most of them hung upside-down from the beams, holding suona horns and playing of all things a wedding procession tune?
Though the melody was lively and cheerful, the sound of the suonas was shrill and drawn-out, evoking weeping and sorrow, enough to bring tears to one’s eyes…
The old woman walking ahead of me slowly turned around upon hearing the suonas. A trail of bloody tears streamed from her left eye, scorching the skin in their path and quickly revealing a grayish-black, bluish skull. Her eyeball, lodged in the now skeletal eye socket, spun around…
I was so terrified that I felt my soul had nearly left my body. Instinctively, I wanted to turn and flee, but my feet felt as if weighed down by lead or concrete, utterly immobile!
The next moment, countless rats surged from all directions, gathering at my feet and forming a dense, flowing river that carried me forward.
The old woman stopped at the doorway, half-turned toward me, waiting for me to approach.
Closer, ever closer!
She raised a bony, fleshless hand and shoved me hard, pushing me into the main hall…
The hall was already filled with people men and women, old and young.
In the center stood a black Coffin, and in front of it stood a man around thirty years old. He gave me a stern look, as if his gaze alone could pierce through and see everything about me.
I recognized him.
Wei Changfeng, the pride of Hancheng, a perennial figure dominating news networks and a red-hot legend in the business world.
He was Wei Que’s older brother, my legendary brother-in-law.
Inwardly, I braced myself, fighting the urge to turn and escape…
The old woman stood to the side, her previously half-rotted face now restored to normal. The Fierce ghosts that had been swarming the beams and corridors had vanished. There were no rats at my feet either, as if I had walked here on my own…
Had it all just been an illusion?
I panicked and rushed in without thinking… Though it was only a few steps, they felt incredibly long.
I nearly collapsed to my knees before Wei Changfeng.
But he was quick to react and steadied me.
