Ghost Matchmaking: Ghost Emperor Husband and Campus Queen Wife

Meanwhile.

Seeing that Gu Yuan still hadn’t given a gift—and that Yun Zhenyue hadn’t even taken the initiative to ask for one—the audience from Dragon Country was going frantic.

[Doesn’t Gu Yuan have anything to give her? He was just bragging about that orphanage earlier.]

[Sigh, forget it. What kind of good stuff could a vengeful spirit possibly have?]

[I’m guessing it’s a minor Ghost Artifact at best, maybe even something worse.]

[Didn’t he give her a membership card during the last mission?]

[Who knows if that card even works? The Ghost Manager comped Yun Zhenyue’s meal, so she didn’t even use it.]

[Honestly, I’m jealous of the Great Cold Country. To think Piao Dagen had something as good as an identity card!]

...

At that moment, Yun Zhenyue was in a frantic hurry, cooking a meal.

She was about to go work at the Blood Moon Restaurant for three days.

She worried that Gu Yuan might go hungry while she was away.

So, she decided to cook up all the remaining ingredients in the house and put the dishes in the refrigerator. That way, whenever Gu Yuan felt hungry and wanted to eat, he could just take them out and heat them up in the microwave.

’As for needing a gift to raise his affection level?’

She had completely forgotten about it.

In her eyes, doing things like grocery shopping was just part of her duty. Gu Yuan had already provided her with a home; how could she have the nerve to ask for gifts on top of that?

"Husband, these three dishes are for tomorrow."

"I made your favorite pork rib and lotus root soup. Oh, and remember to eat your vegetables and drink lots of water."

"These dishes should be fine in the fridge for three days. Just make do for now. I’ll make you something delicious when I get back."

Yun Zhenyue bustled about for quite some time.

She laid out dozens of dishes on the table.

Then, she sealed them all with plastic wrap.

Before leaving, she didn’t forget to give Gu Yuan some final instructions and reassurances.

She had been calling him "Husband" so much these past few days that she no longer felt embarrassed about it.

A warm feeling spread through Gu Yuan’s heart, though he also felt a little ashamed.

’Honestly, he didn’t even need to eat.’

But she had already gone to such lengths, so Gu Yuan didn’t have the heart to refuse.

Watching Yun Zhenyue’s busy figure, Gu Yuan’s eyes took on a distant look. For a moment, he felt the warmth and beauty of a home.

Suddenly, he remembered that he hadn’t given her a gift yet.

He had accepted the Yin Qi Elixir, and according to the rules of the marriage system, he needed to give her a gift in return.

’What could I give her that would help with her next mission?’

Gu Yuan pondered for a moment before remembering that there might be something in the nightstand that could help her.

"Wife, what kind of reward would you like?"

"A reward?" Yun Zhenyue wrinkled her nose, asking blankly, "What reward?"

"You gave me a gift, so of course, I have to give one in return," Gu Yuan chuckled.

"No, no, that’s not necessary. Be-between a husband and wife, why keep such a clear tally of things? My parents never gave each other gifts, but they’ve always had a great relationship."

Yun Zhenyue muttered, shaking her little head.

Gu Yuan didn’t give up. He just said softly, "But what if I want to?"

"The ghost next door already gave his wife a gift. If I don’t give you anything, wouldn’t that make me seem stingy?"

"Besides, this is just a little romantic gesture for a couple to strengthen their bond. Don’t you want our relationship to become a little more intimate?"

"More intimate—"

Hearing this, Yun Zhenyue’s clear eyes darted away like those of a startled fawn. She bit her lip, leaving a faint indentation, as a blush like the evening sky spread across her cheeks, even tinting the tips of her ears a coral pink.

She might be a natural airhead, but she wasn’t completely clueless about matters between men and women.

’She and Gu Yuan were already sleeping in the same bed.’

’Wasn’t that intimate enough?’

’M-more intimate?!!’

’Things that were even more intimate...’

Yun Zhenyue’s face instantly turned bright red as she got lost in her own imagination.

Seeing Yun Zhenyue’s bashful reaction, Gu Yuan chuckled softly.

He then patted her head and said, "I think it’s in the nightstand."

"On your side of the bed. The cabinet has three drawers; open the top one."

"There are a bunch of little booklets inside. Just pick whichever one you like."

...

Little booklets in the nightstand.

Yun Zhenyue still hadn’t recovered from her bashfulness.

Her mind felt a little fuzzy.

It wasn’t until she entered their bedroom and her gaze fell upon the nightstand that she began to focus.

The nightstand was on her side of the bed. She saw it every day, but since it held Gu Yuan’s things, she had never opened it.

’Could his little secrets be inside?’

Yun Zhenyue felt both curious and hesitant.

’What if Gu Yuan gives me a gift that’s too valuable?’

’A little booklet... it couldn’t be a marriage certificate, could it?’

... 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

「At this moment.」

Gu Yuan had piqued the curiosity of the global audience.

Ghosts from other countries had given identity cards, Ghost Artifacts, and even skills.

This was the first time anyone had seen one give a little booklet.

’A booklet? Even if it’s a Ghost Artifact, it probably doesn’t have much offensive power, right?’

[HAHAHAHA, what a stingy ghost, giving her just a booklet. I’d love to see how the woman from Dragon Country is going to use a booklet to go to work.]

[Maybe he’s giving her a Death Note? If something like that even exists!]

[That Dragon Country woman should just dump him. In the Ghost World, strength is all that matters. What’s the use of being good-looking if he can’t even produce a decent gift?]

[Yeah, dump him and come find our Lord Piao Dagen from the Great Cold Country. The two of you can serve one husband.]

[Our Great Cold Country is magnanimous. We’ll let you be a female slave. You should thank us!]

The audience from the Great Cold Country jeered.

This put every viewer from Dragon Country in a foul mood.

But they couldn’t find a good way to argue back.

Gu Yuan himself had said it was a booklet.

At its absolute best, a booklet couldn’t be even one-tenth as valuable as an identity card!

...

Every viewer’s eyes were fixed on the drawer.

But as Yun Zhenyue pulled open the drawer and saw what was inside, her eyes filled with confusion.

Neatly stacked inside were various little booklets with dark red covers.

There must have been more than a dozen of them.

Yun Zhenyue took out the one on top.

She saw three words written on it.

[Ghost Property Deed]

"A property deed?"

Just as Yun Zhenyue was wondering why the Ghost World would even have property deeds, her delicate fingertips touched the cover. A cold, sticky liquid suddenly oozed out from it.

The blurry, blood-red characters began to writhe and reassemble, eventually forming a few new words.

[Forbidden Cinema]

[Owner: Gu Yuan]

"Forbidden... Cinema?"

Yun Zhenyue was confused. ’Wasn’t my husband’s domain the orphanage? How does he own a cinema now?’

BOOM!

It was as if a giant boulder had been dropped into a deep pool!

Every single viewer who saw this scene went wild!

The viewers from Dragon Country were stunned, their eyes wide with disbelief!

[A property deed? The Ghost World has property deeds?]

[The S-Rank Forbidden Cinema, widely recognized as one of the ten most terrifying dungeons, is Gu Yuan’s property?]

[*Hiss*... I’m speechless. That cinema is also known as the Evernight Theater. Even Crimson-robed Ghosts don’t dare set foot in there lightly.]

[I remember a player from the Sun Country went in once. He came out completely insane, unable to tell the difference between the cinema and reality.]

[My skin is crawling. They say that place has 36 rules, and not a single one can be broken. Otherwise, you’ll be absorbed into the screen, going from a member of the audience to an actor in the film.]

[So the ’little booklet’ he mentioned was actually a property deed?]

[Wait, that whole stack of booklets... don’t tell me they’re all...]
