What to do if you're forced to marry a demon king's daughter in a horror game?

If she really forces Xiaoyu to marry her, there will obviously be a serious marital crisis.

This cunning fox will surely try every means to steal her man.

The Ghost King was heartbroken.

That damn fox should have been beaten to a pulp back then, instead of getting her out of that school.

It's too late to say anything now.

Unfortunately, this fox was also very good at using gentle tricks to deceive the naive Xiaoyu.

Seeing Xiaoyu's pitiful appearance, the Ghost King couldn't bear to bully her, and he was even more reluctant to let her go.

My heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat; it was incredibly painful.

"Hmph! No matter what, Xiaoyu is my wife, she agreed to marry me a long time ago..."

Seeing the Ghost King's depressed look, Su Yu felt a pang of pity.

She subconsciously reached out, about to touch the ends of her hair, but then very cautiously withdrew her hand.

I was incredibly audacious to even try to touch the Ghost King's hair.

Fortunately, the person who was almost touched did not see her move.

Miss Ghost King sighed.

He held his chin in his hands, puffed out his cheeks, and looked furious.

"In short, my wife is my wife, and no one can take her away from me."

As she spoke, she turned back and glared at Ryoko.

"If you try to take it from me, I'll kill you."

Ryoko smiled and said, "I don't like to fight with people for things."

What she likes is waiting for the little white rabbit to come to her on its own.

The Ghost King immediately grasped the underlying meaning of those words.

She nervously held Su Yu's hands in her hands.

"Then, Xiaoyu, you have to promise me you won't elope with this scoundrel fox!"

"Elopement? That's such a ridiculous idea..."

Su Yu's lips twitched slightly.

She didn't know why things had turned out this way.

But the thought that she might not have to be forced into marriage made her secretly relieved.

To be honest, she's really not ready to get married yet.

At the very least, we need to give her some time to calm down and catch her breath in this tense atmosphere.

dong dong dong-

The knocking startled all three of them.

Su Yu just moved in, and someone already came to visit?

At that moment, Si Nan's voice came from outside the door.

Have you all forgotten about me?

"They asked me to buy groceries, but they wouldn't even give me the money!"

"Open the door quickly, I can't hold on any longer!"

When the Ghost King reached the door and opened it, he saw Si Nan carrying two large bags of ingredients, panting heavily.

"You're supposed to be a ghost, yet you're so weak?" The Ghost King easily carried away the two bags of ingredients.

"Please! I am a ghost, that's true, but I don't have the strength to cultivate."

Si Nan stood with his hands on his hips, trying to calm himself down.

"Besides, what kind of beautiful female ghost like me would cultivate strength? Everyone would strive to cultivate charm magic, okay?"

The Ghost King's expression turned sour at the mention of charm magic.

However, Si Nan had no idea what he had said to offend this big shot, and continued talking about the topic of "charm techniques":

"With your beauty, you must have first mastered the art of charm, right?"

"You should know that for beautiful women, charm is just as important as stockings and short skirts."

"If you cultivate strength, you'll grow muscles all over your body, which will look awful!"

Hearing her say this, Miss Ghost's expression had become terrifyingly sour.

She extended a finger and, in front of Si Nan, slowly poked it into the thick golden nanmu wood table.

Despite being incredibly hard wood, it felt as soft as tofu in her hands.

Si Nan choked for a moment: "You..."

The Ghost King looked at her with a forced smile, breaking pieces of wood with two fingers.

Hearing the clatter of the wooden block hitting the ground, Si Nan felt a chill run down his spine.

Mom!

This, this, this!

If she were to pinch my face, she'd probably tear my skin off on the spot.

“That’s right, the first thing I cultivated was strength.” The Ghost King cracked his knuckles.

"What a coincidence, the first skill I trained was also strength." Ryoko added insult to injury at this moment.

puff-

Si Nan, who deeply understood the principle that "a wise man adapts to circumstances," immediately knelt down and bowed to the two of them.

"Big shots, please don't lower yourselves to the level of a useless demon like me."

Fortunately, Miss Ghost King didn't really intend to kill her.

It's rare to see a succubus who has mastered the art of charm to such an unparalleled level, and since we finally managed to get her out of the dungeon, of course we have to take good care of her.

Most importantly, both the Ghost King and Ryoko secretly hoped that Si Nan could train Xiao Yu well.

This is very important; it concerns their future happiness... cough cough cough.

"Alright, stop kneeling. Go pack your things and get ready to come with us to that other world."

"Oh, over there...wait!?"

Si Nan was startled.

"You mean, you mean... you mean..."

She started to stutter.

I was so excited that I doubted my ears, wondering if I was hallucinating.

If I'm not hallucinating, did the Ghost King mean he wanted to take her with him to that other world?

"Why do you look so flattered? I brought you there so you can work, not to play around."

Before he could finish speaking, Si Nan, who had just stood up, knelt down again with a "plop".

Three resounding thuds followed.

"I will never forget your great kindness!"

"Hey, I told you, I'm taking you to work."

"Yes! I will definitely work hard and not slack off at all!"

"...Did you go crazy from working in that cage?"

Seeing her exaggeratedly happy expression, the Ghost King felt somewhat annoyed.

She couldn't help but look at Ryoko.

Ryoko shook her head and said, "For them, there is absolutely no possibility of returning to the mortal world after death."

As she spoke, she looked at Su Yu again.

His eyes became somewhat deep.

"Human beings' longing for family often surpasses the imagination of gods and ghosts."

Su Yu was stunned for a moment.

She realized that what Ryoko had just said was directed at her.

But why would you suddenly say something so ambiguous to her?

Ryoko didn't explain anything to Su Yu.

She knew that Su Yu's parents had passed away, and that Su Yu had no relatives in the other world.

Players who come to this world will try to find their deceased relatives.

Su Yu, however, had never done such a thing, nor had she even entertained such a thought.

Su Yu is a kind person even to strangers, so how could she not miss her parents at all?

Thinking about how she was in love with others in that other world, and then thinking about the vast ruins and scorched earth in her soul's abode, Ryoko had a somewhat unreliable speculation...

"Perhaps, Xiaoyu has lost those most painful memories of her life."

Those memories are most likely sealed within those ruins.

So, is guiding her and opening the mansion of her soul a good thing or a bad thing?

"Well, whether it's good or bad, we should do our best to protect her."

Ryoko closed her eyes.

"This is really a worry for the fox."
