My father has the appearance of an emperor

Chapter 37 Return to the Burial Ground

Walking out of the villa, Jiang Chen strolled along the path of the manor.

The sky around him was still dark, and the full moon hanging high in the sky no longer winked at him. Instead, it gave Jiang Chen an inexplicable feeling that it was crying.

Retracting his gaze, Jiang Chen opened the box and took another look. The first thing that hit him was a sour and smelly smell.

It's ghostly breath again, but this time it's 10%.

Ghost power increased to 55%.

Then there were 1,500 banknotes and a small jade pendant.

Discipline resistance item: can resist the punishment after violating the discipline once.

This is good!
Jiang Chen was overjoyed. It turned out that there was such a good thing.
After collecting all his gains, Jiang Chen returned along the same route and came to Gui City again.

This place is still as prosperous and bustling as before.

The ghosts were still walking around in the market like last time, shouting their wares busily, and ignored Jiang Chen's arrival.

Passing through the ghost market, Jiang Chen arrived at the cemetery.

He first stood in front of his own grave, took a look, smiled, and continued walking forward.

He came to the ghost bride's grave.

A red wedding dress floated in front of his eyes, and the ghost bride floated in the air, level with him.

She lifted the veil covering her face, revealing a beautiful face and two canine teeth. But for some reason, Jiang Chen now found these canine teeth somewhat cute.

"You're here." she said softly.

There was actually a hint of joy in her tone, as if she was happy that he came to see her.

Jiang Chen felt an inexplicable sense of weirdness in his heart.

He didn't know why he came here to see the ghost bride, maybe because of her help in the past, or maybe because of something else... He had a thought in his heart that he should come.

Of course, it could also be because of the emperor's father's teachings - being able to cling to someone powerful is actually a skill. Everyone wants to cling to someone powerful, but not everyone can seize the opportunity. You should recite this a hundred times.

Jiang Chen instinctively didn't want to admit that he liked the Ghost Bride. He preferred to view this as a kind of emotional investment.

At this moment Jiang Chen hummed and sat down in front of the grave: "The mission is completed, and I just happened to have some free time, so I came to see you."

The ghost bride also sat down next to him.

At this moment, she is like a quiet girl next door.

They sat side by side like this, and Jiang Chen talked about his experiences after leaving the Ghost Market.

He told his story in the association and how he encountered the immortal blood demon in the bloody space.

The ghost bride laughed softly, "The product of chaos is not truly immortal, it's just that you can't do it right now."

"So the power of chaos can still be immortal?"

"That's not just the power of chaos. You haven't understood it yet, but you will understand it later. Continue!"

Jiang Chen continued to talk about his experience on the second mission, discovering the problem, fighting back, and being betrayed by his companions.

The ghost bride said softly: "You are very smart and brave, although you are not perfect yet."

Jiang Chen was surprised: "What else is wrong?"

The ghost bride said: "There is a secret passage in the kitchen stove. We can sneak out of the villa and complete the task ahead of time."

"Uh... I really didn't find it." Jiang Chen sighed: "But I also have a question."

"what?"

"If I don't have the key, then the door to the third floor can't be opened? Then how can others get in to gamble and get props?"

The ghost bride replied: "There is a gap in the portal, and the ghost form can pass directly through it."

Uh……

Jiang Chen slapped his forehead and said, "The development and utilization of abilities cannot be solved by the brain alone, but requires a combination of methods! That's right, the first time that guy tried to kill me, he passed through in ghost form and then took over the model to kill me. I should have thought of that earlier."

The ghost bride chuckled: "How can you know in advance? Many things are clearer to a bystander. Once you experience it yourself and face the threat of death, it's good enough to discover limited content. You can pursue perfection, but don't demand perfection." "What if I really perform perfectly?"

“You don’t have to choose a box.”

Jiang Chen laughed: "So that's how it is. It sounds like the result now is not too bad at least."

As he spoke, he stretched and looked at the ghost bride: "Can I ask, what is the meaning of us being here?"

The ghost bride turned and looked at him.

With a pair of beautiful eyes blinking in a charming manner, she said softly: "Don't pursue meaning. Pursuing meaning is the most meaningless. The only thing you need to do is to try your best to survive."

As she spoke, she stroked Jiang Chen's face and said, "Go sell those useless items, and then buy what you need."

Feeling her tenderness, Jiang Chen inexplicably thought of Her Royal Highness Princess Christiana, whom he had never met.

Damn, is this considered as having the best of both worlds?
No, it definitely doesn’t count. I haven’t even seen that person.

Who knows if it's some Maradon princess?

So, between a real-life Princess Maradon and a beautiful, tragic ghost, which one would you choose?

It's a bit like choosing between chocolate-flavored shit and shit-flavored chocolate.

No, how could I be so critical of a friend who is so good to me?

Jiang Chen unconsciously raised the ghost bride to the level of "friend".

He blurted out, "What to buy?"

"The Netherworld Aura is the foundation and the only thing you need now. Then work hard to develop it... You already know what it does."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Okay. I'll listen to you."

Hearing this, the ghost bride Lan Xiner smiled.

That smile was like a blooming flower, and Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel his heart beating fast.

Like in a dream.

Then she suddenly whispered, "Do you want to know my experience?"

Jiang Chen nodded gently: "I guess you have been married before."

The ghost bride covered her mouth and chuckled.

She laughed softly, and the entire burial ground was filled with her beautiful and charming laughter.

She said leisurely: "I once had a wonderful life. At that time, I thought I would marry a good husband, have a lot of children, take care of my husband and children, and live a peaceful life."

Jiang Chen listened quietly.

The ghost bride murmured, "My new husband is a scholar. I don't ask him to be successful, I just hope he treats me better. But I never thought... On the wedding day, when the guests left, I sat in my boudoir waiting for him to come, but what I waited for was a nightmare..."

She turned her head slightly and said, "He sold me to a local landowner and used my virginity to repay his debt."

Jiang Chen was stunned: "There are still people like this? Damn it!"

The ghost bride smiled and said, "It's damn right. I fought back desperately that night. I picked up a pair of scissors and castrated the fat pig. My husband came running over and I asked him for help...but he..."

She did not continue.

Jiang Chen's mind had already emerged with a scene of a cruel man committing violence against his newlywed wife.

He murmured, "He killed you?"

The ghost bride did not answer, but whispered: "Do you want to see my original appearance?"

Jiang Chen's heart trembled.

He said nothing, neither accepted nor denied.

Then the ghost bride gently stroked her chest.

The collar turned into smoke and dissipated, revealing a piece of snow-white skin, but on that snow-white skin, there was a thrilling knife scar that almost penetrated the entire body.
