NOVEL NEXT Chapter 41: Let’s Get a Divorce!
When Qi Yuan logged into the game again, he felt like making a video.
"Guys, what should I do? My family arranged a ghost marriage for me!"
Then, he would add a watermelon-head effect.
On TikTok, the comments might be, "Sister, stay strong."
On some forum, the comments might be, "Brother, you are blessed."
Of course, these are all stereotypes.
These responses wouldn’t solve Qi Yuan's current problem.
He looked at his bride.
He really wanted to see her face, her eyebrows, her arms, and her legs.
Is it too much to want to see his bride?
However, this bride... had no face.
Not only did she have no face, but she also had no hands or legs.
No... feet.
"Sigh, I just took a nap, and now I’m married to an NPC?"
Qi Yuan was in a place similar to a bridal chamber.
On the window, there were paper flowers with the character "喜" (happiness) written on them.
As soon as he entered the game, he was lying next to his bride.
His bride was a large red wedding dress, in an ancient Chinese style, like those in ghost movies.
If you looked closely, you could almost imagine a delicate and graceful bride.
He looked at the clothing monster, or rather, the wedding dress monster in front of him.
He was helpless: "I really want to solve you with a sword and turn you into an experience pack."
The red wedding dress seemed to understand Qi Yuan's words and shrank back a bit.
However, Qi Yuan ultimately did not kill this NPC.
When fighting the fallen zone lord, the ugly clothing monster emperor, the blood-red gas had entered Qi Yuan's body.
That gas was extremely troublesome for him, continuously weakening his attributes and even attempting to control his body.
And that red gas had been dispelled by this wedding dress monster, Qi Yuan's bride.
Since she had helped him, how could he bear to turn her into an experience pack?
Moreover, this wedding dress monster seemed to have some intelligence.
Unlike other clothing monsters that would attack Qi Yuan on sight.
He looked at the wedding dress monster, now named Little Bride, who was only a step away from him, and slowly said, "Who are you, what's your name?"
The wedding dress monster didn't answer, remaining motionless.
"No name?"
"Don't remember?"
"Then let's call you..."
"Little Red?"
"Little Monster?"
"Little Bride!"
Finally, Qi Yuan decided on a name for the wedding dress monster.
The wedding dress monster's name was temporarily set as Little Bride.
Unfortunately, Little Bride had no face, no skin, no legs, no hands... well, if sleeves and pant legs count, then she did.
"Sigh, I picked up a wife for nothing." Qi Yuan didn't know if he was happy or sad.
This wife still couldn't communicate normally with him.
"Why did you marry me?" Qi Yuan continued to try to communicate with Little Bride, although she didn't seem capable of communication.
To his surprise, Little Bride responded this time.
She threw out a wooden plaque from her red sleeve.
The wooden plaque was very old, with two words written on it.
"Husband?"
Yes, it had the word "husband" on it.
"You want me to be your husband? So you married me while I was offline?" Qi Yuan was speechless.
He had met something more unreasonable than himself.
And it was an NPC.
"No way, we didn't go to the civil affairs bureau, this doesn't count!" Qi Yuan continued.
He didn't want to be married to a piece of clothing.
After all, "Brothers are like limbs, women are like clothes," but it can't literally be clothes, right?
Otherwise, how to manage married life?
Little Bride's sleeve clung tightly to Qi Yuan's arm, not letting go.
She couldn't speak but expressed herself through actions.
Qi Yuan was helpless: "Since you can use wooden plaques to communicate, at least take out more plaques and introduce yourself."
Looking at the limited information about Little Bride, Qi Yuan noticed she only had eight plaques.
"Where did they fall from?" Qi Yuan stared at Little Bride's sleeve, "Can I put my hand in to find them?"
Little Bride didn't retreat, meaning she didn't refuse.
Qi Yuan put his hand into Little Bride's sleeve, reaching her chest, appendix, liver, but found nothing.
Little Bride seemed to react strongly, falling to the ground.
Qi Yuan stopped searching and helped her up, looking at the eight plaques.
One plaque had a man on it, with the word "husband."
One had a wedding dress, with the word "wife."
One had a smiling face.
One had a crying face.
One had a hugging image.
One had an image of holding hands.
One had a sleeping image.
One had an image of lying down.
"Were you a meme creator in your past life?" Qi Yuan couldn't help but joke.
Seeing that Little Bride could express herself with wooden plaques, he tested her.
He made some wooden plaques for her to express her thoughts.
To his disappointment, it didn't work.
Little Bride could only take out those eight plaques.
It seemed her world could only be expressed through these eight plaques.
"Sigh, let's get a divorce." Qi Yuan said, "Our feelings are broken, let's divorce."
Little Bride held onto Qi Yuan's arm tightly, a wooden plaque with "holding hands" image slipping out.
"You can help me?" Somehow, Qi Yuan seemed to understand the meaning of the image, both asking him to stay and implying she could help him.
Qi Yuan became interested, looking at Little Bride.
At this moment, a surprising event occurred.
Little Bride's entire cold body pressed against Qi Yuan's.
A special change happened at this moment.
In the bridal chamber, the blood-red wedding dress turned into red light spots, like red fireflies, falling onto Qi Yuan's body.
In less than a fraction of a second, the red fireflies turned into red armor, covering Qi Yuan's body, leaving only his eyes exposed.
From a distance, the armor appeared blood-red, like flowing blood. Despite this fluid appearance, it gave Qi Yuan a strong sense of security.
Exquisite and beautiful, mysterious and powerful.
Qi Yuan, clad in blood armor, holding his great sword, now stood ten meters tall.
At this moment, he looked like a terrifying demon walking in hell.
Qi Yuan felt a wedding dress tattoo on his chest.
The tattoo was identical to Little Bride.
He realized the tattoo was Little Bride's true form.
The blood armor was Little Bride's defense, not her real body.
Qi Yuan looked at himself and was stunned: "Level 93?"
Combining with Little Bride, or rather merging with her, Qi Yuan had increased by 5 levels, reaching level 93.
However, he vaguely felt this was temporary.
This made him excited.
That's 5 levels!
Gaining 5 levels was a huge boost for Qi Yuan, making monster hunting much easier.
Facing the 95-level ugly clothing monster emperor again, he wouldn't have to run away immediately and might even stand a chance, especially one-on-one.
Of course, this one-on-one meant him and Little Bride against the ugly clothing monster emperor.
At this moment, something unexpected happened to Qi Yuan.
He simultaneously activated two skills.
One major skill and one minor skill.
Every 30 levels, Qi Yuan would get a major skill, usable in reality.
Every 10 levels, he got a minor skill.
Combining with Little Bride, Qi Yuan's level broke through 90, granting him two skills.
The major skill was [Together as One], and the minor skill was [Torn Clothes].
