Ghost Matchmaking: Ghost Emperor Husband and Campus Queen Wife

The sight...

It stunned everyone present.

She had taken a direct hit from what was nearly a top-tier Evil Star!

And she was completely unharmed?

This...

That’s impossible, isn’t it?

Was this the legendary "all smoke, no harm" rule in action?

It wasn’t just the blood-red paper man who was stunned.

Everyone present stared blankly.

Silence!

Utter silence!

The only sound was the pitter-patter of raindrops falling into the crater.

Si Qin swallowed hard. Her usually smiling eyes were now wide and round, her mouth unable to form any words. In the oppressive silence, her rapid breathing was startlingly loud.

’So this is the true value of those nine drops of blood?’

’It can take an ordinary little paper doll...’

’...and instantly grant it such terrifying power?’

’If any of the Evil Stars here got those nine drops of blood...’

’...wouldn’t they break through to the Great Evil realm on the spot?’

’They might even jump straight to being a mid-tier Great Evil!’

’The old City Lord’s blood was truly something else...’

’A hundred million for a single drop... the buyer got an incredible deal!’

Mr. Luo took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on the little paper doll.

The scene just now had set his heart pounding.

He’d nearly had a heart attack!

’These old bones can’t handle this kind of shock.’

Even though he’d long known Yun Zhenyue’s identity, he couldn’t help but feel a lingering fear.

’If it were me...’

’...I would never dare let Luo Huan face such a perilous situation.’

But Mr. Gu didn’t seem to care in the slightest.

’Is this also part of Mr. Gu’s plan?’

’Perhaps a high-level Evil Star paper doll is truly beneath his notice.’

...

At that moment.

"Tsk~"

The little paper doll shot it a disdainful look.

It was a look of pure contempt.

As if to say—’Is that all you’ve got?’

She patted the dust from her clothes, instantly looking pristine and pretty again.

Seeing this, the blood-red paper man felt his composure shatter!

’Honestly... that last kick! That was my strongest possible attack, filled with all my resentment! I held nothing back! Without my Ghost Skill active, even I would have been stomped to death by that blow. And this little paper doll... she’s completely unscathed?’

’Come to think of it... at my peak, I was only a high-level Evil Star! Could this little paper doll be stronger than me? Impossible! My creations could never surpass me; that was a fundamental rule of their existence. Could it be... that robe?’

At the same time.

Si Qin couldn’t help but ask, "City Lord, if I may ask, what realm has your adopted daughter reached?"

"Could she already be a Great Evil?"

"I don’t think so," Yun Zhenyue replied, shaking her head after a moment of thought. "I can sense that her power shouldn’t be greater than the large paper man’s."

"But why, then?" Si Qin asked, confused.

"Wait... I get it now."

Yun Zhenyue suddenly understood.

Her little paper doll was now a high-level Evil Star, on par with the blood-red paper man.

This was the absolute limit the doll’s body could reach.

But it wasn’t the limit of Gu Yuan’s nine drops of blood!

In other words,

the little paper doll could no longer absorb any more yin energy.

A large amount of it had gathered inside her, and all that excess energy was being absorbed by the Ghost Dream Flower Robe.

That robe was capable of converting yin energy into Healing Power!

Which meant...

...until the yin energy from the blood ran out,

the little paper doll now had an infinite health bar!

Hearing Yun Zhenyue’s explanation,

all the specters present stared in disbelief.

’Are you kidding me?’

’Is that even fair?’

’They might be specters themselves, but an infinite health bar was just too ridiculous!’

The blood-red paper man overheard them and lost all will to fight.

He felt like a lone swordsman, looking around in a daze, utterly lost.

’They’re not even trying to hide their conversation from me! Are they just completely ignoring my existence?’

’We’re the same level.’

’But one side has a debuff that’s constantly weakening them.’

’While the other has an infinite health bar and instantly heals as long as they aren’t killed in one hit.’

’How are you supposed to play this game?’

’In any PVP game, the devs would be flamed into oblivion for this!’

’This cheat is just too broken!!’

The blood-red paper man’s aura was gradually weakening; his Ghost Skill wouldn’t last much longer.

What’s more, the paper figures trapped inside his body were still struggling.

Thanks to Yun Zhenyue’s earlier intervention, their despair had nearly vanished.

Even if he tried to control them by force, he would suffer a backlash.

"I... I surren—"

Despair washed over the blood-red paper man as he decided to give up.

But just at that moment!

The little paper doll charged straight at him!

She gave him no room to even speak!

"BANG!"

The blood-red paper man could only brace himself and slap her away!

Perhaps because it was her first fight,

the little paper doll didn’t react in time and was sent flying again!

She smashed into a ruined wall.

But in the next instant,

a red light glowed from her body!

All her injuries vanished in a flash!

Then, she was charging at him again!

Her two little legs pumped furiously!

"Can’t... you just... let me... finish... a sentence!"

The blood-red paper man was at his wit’s end, forced to knock her away again and again!

"BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!—"

The sound was like a giant game of ping-pong.

The blood-red paper man felt increasingly exhausted, body and soul.

It was as if he’d been completely hollowed out.

Despite also being a high-level Evil Star, he no longer had the strength to kill the little paper doll in one hit.

Meanwhile, after being sent flying time and time again,

the little paper doll started to get the hang of it. She grew more tenacious, dodging his attacks and scrambling up his leg like an unkillable fly. It was pure, unadulterated annoyance!

Most importantly,

she seemed to realize her own unique advantage.

She proactively lit herself on fire with the flames of a ghost match—

a self-enchantment!

It’s not like getting burned would hurt her anyway.

After imbuing herself with a Magic Attack,

she began to inflict real damage on the blood-red paper man.

The flames engulfed his right foot once more, searing him with intense pain.

"Are you insane?!"

"That’s not how you use a paper doll!"

Utterly exhausted and with a splitting headache, the blood-red paper man kicked the little paper doll away.

His painted eyes, shot with red, glared as he roared.

"What kind of paper doll plays with fire?"

"Do you even look like a paper doll anymore!!!"

...

Seeing this,

the audience from Dragon Country was left speechless.

’Who’s the real paper doll here?’

’Why does it feel like Yun Zhenyue’s little paper doll is more of a final boss than the blood-red paper man!’

[Having an infinite health bar is a license to be reckless.]

[Careful, playing with fire makes you wet the bed.]

[Those nine drops of blood were enough to create a monster. If the almighty Gu Yuan donated 300cc, could he create a Great Evil?]

[Those were nine drops of essence blood. Regular blood would never be the same.]

[This is insane. Yun Zhenyue has gotten her hands on another amazing treasure.]

...

At that moment,

the blood-red paper man made a decision!

He had to run!

This was no longer about a desperate, mutually assured destruction.

If this kept up, he, the "fish," was going to be roasted alive!

But with the little paper doll attacking him

and so many other Evil Stars watching, he needed to find a way to break out!

Just as the blood-red paper man knocked the little paper doll away, his eyes landed on Yun Zhenyue.

An idea!

He immediately prepared to grab Yun Zhenyue as a hostage!

But just as he moved!

The little paper doll grew frantic, screaming, "Don’t you dare!!!"

But she couldn’t finish the blood-red paper man off instantly!

In a moment of desperation,

she opened her mouth and chomped down hard on the blood-red paper man’s toe!

Instantly,

the little paper doll’s eyes lit up!

Since they both came from the same source,

the blood-red paper man was a powerful restorative for her!

She immediately tore off a huge chunk and swallowed it down.

The taste wasn’t as good as the blood she’d had earlier—

like the difference between braised pork belly and chicken feet.

But hey, every little bit counts!

The little paper doll gulped, murmuring involuntarily,

"You smell so delicious..."
