Ghost Matchmaking: Ghost Emperor Husband and Campus Queen Wife

Meanwhile.

Deep within an apartment on the fourth floor of Wansheng District.

Piao Dagen was hiding in his home.

He sat restlessly on his bed, like an ant on a hot griddle. A thousand thoughts raced through his mind. One moment his face was deathly pale, the next he was panting with frustration.

Back at Reincarnation Hospital, after provoking the deputy director to move against Yun Zhenyue, he had secretly followed him.

He’d hoped to get a piece of the action after Yun Zhenyue was killed.

But out of fear of the panda doll, Piao Dagen hadn’t shown himself, instead remaining hidden in the shadows.

And it was a good thing he did.

He was able to witness the panda doll unleash its true power in a rampage, leaving even the deputy director at a disadvantage.

Piao Dagen paled at the sight, his heart freezing with terror!

Because no matter who won, he was screwed.

If the panda doll won, he would definitely be killed.

If the deputy director won, Reincarnation Hospital was practically destroyed, so he’d be killed for that, too.

So, Piao Dagen had hurried back.

After thinking it over, he concluded that Wansheng District was the safest place to be.

It was a long way from Reincarnation Hospital.

The deputy director certainly wouldn’t go to all the trouble of coming here just to get revenge on him.

And Yun Zhenyue probably didn’t know he was the one pulling the strings behind the scenes.

As for Mrs. Yan’s subsequent return, and the matter of Reincarnation Hospital’s restoration?

He was completely in the dark.

Piao Dagen now looked at an ancient mirror in the corner of the room.

Two faint lines of bloody writing remained on its surface.

"That bastard. He still thinks he can fool me?"

Piao Dagen sneered under his breath.

’Does he really think I’m an idiot?’

’Looks like the deputy director must have found my other business.’

’And he’s trying to trick me into going there?’

Not a chance!

In any case, he wouldn’t dare go to that bun shop!

’If it’s gone, it’s gone. It’s not like I could squeeze much profit out of it anyway.’

A single bun was only 1 Ghost Coin, and even then, customers who could afford it were few and far between. How long would it take to earn 10,000 Ghost Coins that way? An eternity?

’It’d be better to find another chance to go after Yun Zhenyue.’

That ten thousand Ghost Coins!

Piao Dagen already considered it his for the taking.

’The panda doll is powerful, but it’s not Yun Zhenyue’s own strength. I don’t believe she can carry it with her at all times. As long as I wait for the right moment and catch her off guard, I’ll find an opening.’

But just then.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK~

There was a knock on Piao Dagen’s door.

He thought it was Han Sumei returning from work.

But as he reached the door, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

The Shadowy Shop probably wouldn’t have let her come back this early.

After all, she still owed a lot of Ghost Coins.

’It couldn’t be the deputy director from Reincarnation Hospital, could it?’

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Piao Dagen’s temple.

But on second thought, Wansheng District was full of Fierce Ghosts and Crimson-robed Ghosts.

’No matter how strong the deputy director is, would he dare take on the entire district by himself?’

"—Open up! Water meter check!"

A deep male voice called out unexpectedly.

Piao Dagen was taken aback. ’I’ve never heard of water meter checks in Wansheng District.’

He ducked his head and looked through the peephole.

An unfamiliar, middle-aged ghost was standing impatiently at the door.

The ghost looked to be in his early forties and wasn’t carrying any weapons. ’He can’t be very strong,’ Piao Dagen surmised.

Piao Dagen had been looking for a way to vent his anger!

Seeing this, a sinister glint appeared in his eyes!

’Is this ghost trying to start trouble with me because he sees I’m missing two arms?’

’Does he really think the name Midnight Butcher is just for show?’

"Where did this idiot come from..."

Piao Dagen balanced on his right foot and used his left to open the door. His face was immediately hostile.

The middle-aged ghost saw the door open and looked Piao Dagen over carefully.

Then he asked contemptuously, "You’re Piao Dagen?"

"What if I am? Looking for a fight?"

"Don’t think I can’t still kill ghosts just because I don’t have arms anymore!"

Piao Dagen said coldly.

VWOOM!

In an instant!

A wisp of sinister energy emerged from his body!

Under the dim light, the frigid, baleful aura seemed to solidify the very air.

An ordinary Ghost or resentful spirit would have been scared stiff by this display.

But this middle-aged ghost just gave a disdainful smirk.

"Then we’ve got the right one!"

"Stop hiding! Everyone, come on in!"

’Everyone, come in?’

’What does he mean?’

As Piao Dagen stared in bewilderment!

BOOM!

A sudden, violent storm of movement erupted from all around!

In the blink of an eye!

Ghosts hidden on the staircase, in the corners, and behind flower pots all swarmed toward the door!

Nearly twenty ghosts stormed into Piao Dagen’s home like a gang of bandits!

"MOTHERFUCKER—"

Piao Dagen had no time to react.

He’d just spat out the curse and tried to kick the door shut, but it was already too late!

The door was forced open, ravaged like a delicate flower!

The pack of ghosts swarmed in like piranhas!

The middle-aged ghost even took the opportunity to clap a hand over his mouth.

A foul, bloody-smelling hand silenced Piao Dagen just as he was about to scream.

"Mmmph, mmmph..."

Piao Dagen’s eyes went wide, his pupils shrinking to pinpricks as cold sweat rolled down past his messy bangs.

Finally, a cold-faced Yan Ruyu entered the room.

CREAK~

As Piao Dagen watched in utter despair,

She closed the door with her own hands.

Just then,

The Ghost Director removed his hand from Piao Dagen’s mouth.

The latter immediately shouted in a panic, "Who the hell are you?!?!"

"Don’t kill me! I’m a resident of Wansheng District! If you kill me, Wansheng District won’t let you get away with it!"

The Ghost Director thought his voice was a bit loud.

He swung a powerful hand and brought it down hard on Piao Dagen’s head!

This casual blow,

Nearly knocked Piao Dagen’s brains out!

The force of the blow made his vision go black, and his legs gave out, causing him to kneel.

"Keep it down!"

"Don’t disturb the neighbors."

Only then did Piao Dagen hear the Ghost Director’s dissatisfied words.

The ghost was completely dumbfounded!

’These thugs and bandits broke into my home uninvited.’

’And they’re worried about disturbing the peace?’

’What kind of considerate bandits are these?!’

’Could it be they’re afraid of the other residents in Wansheng District?’

Seeing that Piao Dagen had quieted down, the Ghost Director reported to Yan Ruyu, "Mrs. Yan, this is Piao Dagen."

"Should we finish him off here, or take him back to the hospital to torture for a while?"

’D-Director?’

Piao Dagen heard the key word!

He then suddenly noticed the identity badges hanging on the chests of many of the ghosts!

He was instantly struck with terror. His ashen lips began to tremble, and the chattering of his teeth echoed starkly in the silent room.

When he raised his head,

and saw the small clock on Yan Ruyu’s forehead, his gaze froze as if pinned by an invisible terror, and his mind went completely blank!

’It really is the Director of Reincarnation Hospital!’

’I’ve heard about this! Mrs. Yan has a clock on her forehead!’

’How could this be?’

’Why would a big shot like her have the time to come all the way out here?’

’And from the looks of it, she’s planning to deal with me personally!’

’Was it... did she find out what I did at Reincarnation Hospital?’

’But that’s impossible!’

The Ghost Director saw that Piao Dagen still didn’t understand what was happening.

He couldn’t help but click his tongue. "I really don’t know whether to call you stupid or just unlucky."

"Did you think your little scheme was seamless?"

"Don’t be a fool. Mrs. Yan knows everything!"

"If you’d messed with anyone else, you might have had a chance to live. But of all the people to cross, you had to provoke Mrs. Yan’s sister. You even tricked the deputy director into trying to kill her, nearly causing a catastrophe!"

Hearing this, even though he was terrified to his core, Piao Dagen still desperately tried to refute it.

"Sister... I didn’t know... The deputy director told me before, the Director doesn’t have any relatives!"

"She didn’t before, but she does now, doesn’t she?" the Ghost Director said lightly.

Piao Dagen was incredulous.

’Can you just pick a sister on the spot?’

’Isn’t that just randomly claiming connections?’

His mind was in turmoil, but then a sudden flash of insight struck him.

’No!’

’That’s not right!’

’The key to this isn’t that woman!’

’She’s just a human. On what grounds could she make the Director of Reincarnation Hospital want to claim a connection with her?’

’The core of all of this has to be related to that woman’s husband, Gu Yuan!’
