Ghost Matchmaking: Ghost Emperor Husband and Campus Queen Wife

"This... Okay—"

Yun Zhenyue hesitated for a moment.

She quickly yielded to Yan Ruyu’s smiling gaze.

"How have the past few days in the hospital been?"

"Has anyone been bullying you?"

"Don’t be afraid. Just say the word. Anyone who’s cursed you out or made you unhappy, just tell me. I’ll take care of it for you!"

Yan Ruyu continued to fuss over Yun Zhenyue.

Her expression was so serious.

It was as if she would immediately go and chop up anyone whose name Yun Zhenyue uttered!

"...I don’t think so."

Yun Zhenyue shook her little head.

She thought back carefully. Aside from the vice director, every single employee at Reincarnation Hospital had been incredibly nice to her. But the vice director was dead now, so there was no one else.

The two chatted for a while.

But it was mostly Yan Ruyu asking questions and a dazed Yun Zhenyue answering.

This continued until Yan Ruyu saw that Yun Zhenyue was about to pass out from all the questions.

She then took out a bag from under her chair.

"You must be curious why I called you to my office, right?"

"Here, take this bag."

"I was asked by someone to give it to you..."

Asked by someone?

Yun Zhenyue froze.

She couldn’t figure it out for the life of her.

’Who in the Ghost World would ask Mrs. Yan to deliver something to me?’

...

Seeing this,

the Dragon Country audience’s anticipation suddenly skyrocketed!

For Mrs. Yan to go through so much trouble to bring something back!

This bag must contain some kind of treasure!

Even in her rage just now, she hadn’t damaged the bag in the slightest. That showed how much she valued it.

[Curious... Could it be some top-tier Ghost Artifact?]

[With Mrs. Yan’s power, could it be something even higher-grade than a Blood-red Ghost Artifact?]

[Holy shit, doesn’t that mean Yun Zhenyue has struck it rich!]

[She’s already struck it rich. Anything she gets now is just icing on the cake.]

[Hurry up and open it! The suspense is killing me!]

...

At this moment,

under the watchful eyes of the crowd,

Yun Zhenyue carefully took the bag and curiously opened it.

From inside, she pulled out...

A pair of pink long johns?

Yun Zhenyue: "???"

’What’s with the long johns?’

’Could this be a Ghost Artifact, too? One that keeps you warm?’

’It has been a bit cold these past few days, but not cold enough for long johns.’

Yun Zhenyue looked completely baffled, a giant question mark practically appearing over her head.

"These are... long johns?"

she murmured, not understanding.

Besides, these long johns looked a little familiar.

Hmm?

Why did they look so much like the cheap ones she’d bought in some "buy one, get three free" online deal for just a couple of bucks?

She had never worn them because the quality was so bad, and had just grabbed them on a whim when she entered the Ghost World.

Yun Zhenyue looked up, a sudden realization dawning on her.

Her eyelid twitched.

’Don’t tell me... my husband, Gu Yuan, asked Yan to deliver these long johns?’

This was too—

Too embarrassing!

Even for someone as naturally dense as she was, a blush crept up Yun Zhenyue’s neck.

’Was this pair of long johns really worth Mrs. Yan going through so much trouble to deliver?’

Sure enough!

Seeing her reaction, Yan Ruyu chuckled. "Mr. Gu asked me to bring these to you."

"He was afraid you’d be cold. The weather’s been chilly lately, and it’s easy to catch a cold."

"He specifically asked me to deliver this pair of long johns."

"I actually tried to persuade him to let me substitute them with a Ghost Artifact that provides warmth, and to be honest, these long johns are... quite ugly. But Mr. Gu refused. I suppose he was just worried about you..."

...

The bag contained long johns?

A gift from Mr. Gu?

The Dragon Country audience was all dumbfounded!

They thought it was some kind of treasure, but it was just this?

Those long johns looked so cheap, the kind you could buy for a couple of bucks on some discount website!

And yet, despite this,

Gu Yuan still made Mrs. Yan go through hell and high water to deliver them?

It was too absurd!!

But right at this moment!

Many people realized something, their faces filled with shock and astonishment!

[Wait, Mr. Gu must be Gu Yuan, right? It seems like the great Gu Yuan knows Mrs. Yan, and from the looks of it, Mrs. Yan does whatever he says?]

[Fuck, no wonder she’s so good to Yun Zhenyue! It’s because of her connection to the great Gu Yuan. I bow down!]

[Going through all this trouble just to deliver long johns... It reminds me of employees trying to suck up to their superiors.]

[No matter how unreasonable the boss’s request, the subordinate has to do everything they can to fulfill it. That’s just how the workplace is!]

[So, you’re saying Mrs. Yan is trying to suck up to Gu Yuan?]

[No way, she’s an Evil Star-level ghost. Sucking up to Gu Yuan?]

The Dragon Country audience was plunged into disbelief!

All because Yan Ruyu hadn’t refused this utterly absurd request!

Quite the opposite!

In front of everyone, she even recounted her difficult journey to deliver the long johns.

First her bike was gone, then the bus broke down!

When Yun Zhenyue gets back and whispers a few words in Gu Yuan’s ear...

his favorable impression of Yan Ruyu would definitely increase!

Of course,

all of this was predicated on one thing.

That Gu Yuan and Yan Ruyu had some kind of superior-subordinate relationship.

Or that he had something that made him worth sucking up to.

But wasn’t that a little surreal?

The invincible Mrs. Yan, in everyone’s eyes, was actually sucking up to Gu Yuan?

And from Yun Zhenyue’s clueless expression, it was clear that Yan Ruyu was deliberately trying to build a connection.

Just what is Gu Yuan’s identity?

For her to go to such great lengths!

Their previous theory—that Gu Yuan might be the Crimson-robed Ghost.

Might have to be revised again!

...

In the end,

Yun Zhenyue accepted the long johns but didn’t put them on.

She glanced at her own smooth calves and just felt that the long johns were a bit of an eyesore.

Just then,

the ghost director who had left earlier returned.

He walked over to Yan Ruyu, then leaned in and said grimly, "Director, your plan has been set in motion."

"The first step of the plan is complete."

"Per your instructions, all people from the Dragon Country have been given top-tier treatment. A few individual foreigners who had previously shown kindness to people from the Dragon Country were specially pardoned and not killed. As for the rest of the pests..."

"Especially the pests from the Great Cold Country—they have all been cleaned up!"

"After your order was issued, all organizations within a ten-kilometer radius responded, treating humans from the Great Cold Country as enemies to be either expelled or eliminated!" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Hearing this, Yan Ruyu nodded in satisfaction. "Good. Proceed with the second step of the plan immediately."

"Hmph. That Piao Dagen fellow pissed me off, and he thinks he can just run away?"

"It’s not that simple!!!"

"Xiaoyue has a good temper and doesn’t hold grudges, but I’m not that nice!"

Hearing this, Yun Zhenyue was dumbfounded.

’The players from the Great Cold Country at Reincarnation Hospital were all killed?’

’And this is only the first step of the plan?’

’Just how many steps are there?!’

’Yan’s temper...’

’Just looking at her the wrong way could make her explode!’

...

「At the same time.」

Seeing that all players except those from the Dragon Country had met with disaster!

The foreign audience completely lost their minds!

The audience from the Great Cold Country, in particular, fell into an absolute panic!

Mrs. Yan’s revenge plan!

It was directly related to every single one of them!

If they were unlucky enough to be chosen to enter the Ghost World and happened to land in Reincarnation Hospital...

wouldn’t that be an instant death sentence?

Even if they weren’t in Reincarnation Hospital, just being nearby probably meant they were in for some serious bad luck!

[Damn it!!! How dare you, you bitch!!!]

[What do we do? Miss Sumi hasn’t been killed, has she?]

[You idiot, can’t you check her stream? She’s already back in Wansheng District!]

[Just how many people from the Great Cold Country did she kill?!]

[Who knows how many steps are in her revenge plan? She’s not going to chase them all the way to Wansheng District, is she?!]

[Impossible! If she shows up uninvited in Wansheng District, is she trying to make an enemy of all the other ghosts?!!]
