NOVEL NEXT Chapter 73
“No… no…” the old lady refused desperately.
If she was burned into ashes, she would never be reincarnated. She didn’t want to be burned into ashes, and she would never make such a request even if she died. But then, bang!
Her neck was strangled, her vocal cords completely broken, and her head rolled to the ground with a grunt. Yet her withered hands still struggled, still unwilling to release Yu Qing’s wedding dress.
[Rule 78, The bride cannot lie.]
This bitch broke the rules and would definitely die. As long as she endured it, she would be free until the bitch died, and she wouldn’t have to turn into ashes. But…
In sight, the men surrounding the wedding banquet actually lifted her up and carried her away after a while, and the wedding banquet was dispersed.
The door suddenly became clear.
After a while, someone brought a handful of ashes and spread them all over the black coffin.
Above the high hall, the young man sitting upright smiled gently. “Thank you, uncle, for your hard work. I will see you off.”
After that, in the name of giving it away, he swaggered out.
Live broadcast room…
[??????]
[?????? No, the host lied. He violated the rules. Why is he still fine?]
[Oh oh oh, I remembered. Someone had opened this side mission, but he died within ten minutes. There are more than 700 rules, which seem to be fatal. How can this host… be so comfortable?]
[Fuck ah ah ah ah ah ah! I want to be blown away by my wife’s handsomeness too!!!】
[Please watch VCR!]
In the crazy comment area, someone intercepted a detail that no one had paid attention to before. In the picture, Yu Qing strangled the old lady’s neck fiercely. When he lowered his head, he tried to make eye contact with the old lady. At that moment, his eyes lit up with a dark purple light.
[Host Yu Qing uses skills, charming eyes]
[Skill duration, 3 seconds]
[The countdown starts now…]

Then, the audience saw that in this short period, Yu Qing used the most powerful absolute control. He briefly controlled the old lady’s consciousness and then taught her to say one word in one second.
“I.”
“I…”
2
“Want to.”
“Want to…”
1
“Die.”
“Die…”
[Skill invalidation]
“I want to die; I want to die…”
The old lady had already finished what she said, so everything Yu Qing did afterward was not considered a violation of the rules. At most, it was an elaboration of the established facts.
And Rule 2 stated that one must listen to their mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law said that she wanted to die, so he had to complete this matter.
Therefore, as early as the brief three seconds when Yu Qing lowered his head, the old lady was already destined to die.
But what were the audience doing at that time?
They thought about it for a while. They were very new to this side mission and instinctively read the rules one by one. However, Yu Qing only read a few rules before decisively stepping forward and making this crazy and bold plan.
‘Go eccentric, high risk, high reward’
Now that the mother-in-law was gone, the husband was just a black coffin. All the key rules in the wedding hall were no longer binding on him, and he could move freely.
[Hiss… Is this what is called not being able to solve the rules, but just solving the people related to the rules? The pattern is amazing! (Reward points +50)]
Then, the live broadcast room went completely crazy, and the sounds of rewards came one after another. While the comment rolled, Yu Qing had already followed the uncle who came to deliver the ashes out of the wedding hall.
Returning to the main dungeon, the audience continued to hold their breath and focused their attention on the young man again—could he get out so easily?
It was considered a legitimate reason to send the elders out, but… Yu Qing had already taken three steps out of the wedding hall, and the mission completion tone still didn’t sound.
The uncle left, and Yu Qing continued to move forward. After taking a few steps, he found himself back in the Wedding Hall?!
This time, the cries were more pronounced. Looking toward the door, he saw that the black coffin that had originally lain across the groom’s position had been erected at the door. The ashes were scattered on the ground without hesitation, blocking his way.
The next second, [Ding!]
[The trigger conditions have been met. Congratulations to the host Yu Qing for successfully activating the hidden NPC, “Ghost Groom.” The ghost groom is merging his ashes. His will and the ghost mother-in-law are merging at a rapid speed and are about to be reawakened…]
[The evil ghost takes shape and kills the target, the bride.]
[Please host “Yu Qing” take more precautions!]
“…”
These words sounded strangely familiar.
Perhaps it was the shadow left by the first dungeon. Hearing this, Yu Qing unconsciously cheered up and continued to move forward.
The ashes dissipated on the black coffin, and at some point, some human-like skin appeared.
As Yu Qing continued to approach, the skin slowly fell, and after a while, wow!
As soon as his vision went dark, Yu Qing felt like something was covering his face, making him almost suffocate.
“Ugh…”
Taking a few steps back uncontrollably, Yu Qing hurriedly raised his hand and pulled off the thing covering his face. It was a red veil!
Immediately afterward, he saw densely packed female ghosts. Although they were called ghosts, they were actually… not scary.
They wore the same clothes as him, each of them brightly dressed, but their eyes were gloomy. Each of them lowered their gaze, and their resentful eyes fell on him.
Dozens of ghosts and countless gazes were focused on one point, staring at him until Yu Qing’s breathing became short and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
He stepped back tentatively, and then, boom.
He hit something cool.
He raised his head and saw a ghost bride hanging above him, smiling coquettishly at him.
This face… looked familiar?
Then, “Ah!”
A scream suddenly erupted, and Yu Qing turned over to avoid the woman’s harsh nails.
Fortunately, he shouted, and the ghost bride slowed down her movements; otherwise… he would have really been unable to dodge with his current physical strength.
“Cough, cough, cough, cough!” Unable to calm his breathing, Yu Qing coughed hard several times. His mind raced as he observed the ghost bride. Suddenly, clatter—
The black coffin opened, revealing the thin ghost groom. His greenish black eyes raised with a fierce look, as if he was blaming Yu Qing for killing his mother.
[Ding Dong——]
His fingertips trembled, and the system prompt was close to his ears, [The ghost groom has successfully recovered. Please host “Yu Qing” take more precautions.]
“…”
[Hahahahahaha!]
The live broadcast room laughed again, [Sorry, forgive me, this is just the first time I have seen a host who angers NPCs so often.]
[This seems to be a ghost marriage. The ghost groom was originally dead, but now he is so angry with the host that he woke up? Hahahahaha! (Reward points +100)]
[“Angel Mental Sanatorium” Xu Han cursed and exited the live broadcast room.]
[Hey, I have such a bad taste, why do I like to watch Yu Qing seek death so much? Come more, come more (Reward points +200)]
Then, there was a bang, and the heavy coffin lid was thrown to the ground by the ghost groom. He opened his mouth, and his stiff lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something.
But he had been dead for so long that he finally straightened his tongue and suddenly heard, “Husband.”
A shout rang out in the wedding hall, and the ghost groom paused, a little unsure.
—The guy who killed his mother was calling him?
—Were they… so close?
The ghost groom moved his stiff knuckles slightly and tilted his head. Before he could figure it out, he heard Yu Qing continue shouting in one breath, “Good sisters, I am just a new bride and I don’t understand anything. If you have any grudges or grievances, just report them to me!”
Ghost Groom, “????”
At the same time, Yu Qing’s fingertips were suddenly lifted by an invisible force. The touch felt familiar; it was—
