Yun Zhi hadn't expected that on the last day of the instance, the mysteries would only grow deeper.
However, the most important thing for her right now was to respond to her husband outside the door, so he wouldn't become suspicious.
Yun Zhi obediently replied, "Husband, I'm fine. I'll be right out."
As she spoke, she gestured with her hand for the female ghost inside the toilet to leave quickly.
The female ghost clearly showed a hint of fear, but still mouthed the word "kill" and then pulled out a key to hand to Yun Zhi.
Yun Zhi looked at the key that had been taken out from the sewer.
..She was a bit disgusted.
But in the end, she still took it.
Only then did the female ghoul dive back into the sewer without hesitation.
Yun Zhi: ...She told me to kill someone, but she sure got out of here fast herself.
The bathroom quickly returned to normal. Yun Zhi hurried to open the door, and the next second, she was automatically pulled to the eerie husband's side.
"Wife, were you talking to someone just now?" The eerie husband looked meaningfully toward the open bathroom, which showed no signs of anything unusual.
Yun Zhi shook her head innocently. "No, I wasn't."
The eerie husband stared at her intently, silent for two seconds. He didn't press further, but instead muttered as if to himself, "It doesn't matter. It won't be long now."
It wouldn't be long before she could stay by his side forever.
【Oh my god, this eerie husband's gaze is so sinister it's scaring me】
【I feel like he might have noticed something】
【If I were there in person, I'd already be on my knees from the pressure】
【The streamer's being targeted. Kind of dangerous】
Yun Zhi didn't know if it was dangerous or not; she only felt that the current eerie husband was terrifyingly clingy.
He lifted Yun Zhi onto his lap, holding her like a beloved, beautiful little doll.
Occasionally, he would pinch her face and hands, playing with her silky black hair.
She didn't know if it was because of the closer contact they'd had last night, but the eerie husband was now practically like a pervert obsessively infatuated with Yun Zhi.
Especially since he was wearing Xie Huaijin's face, Yun Zhi always felt a sense of dissonance.
She couldn't help but think back to when she and Xie Huaijin got married, and how he had looked like he wanted to stay as far away from her as possible.
If only Xie Huaijin had died sooner, otherwise Yun Zhi would have eventually been unable to stand it and given him a beating.
Yun Zhi couldn't be bothered with him and just let him do what he wanted.
Her mind was occupied with the information the female ghoul had given her, and how to get the eerie husband away.
Today was the last day of the instance; she wasn't sure if just waiting around would be completely safe.
But the eerie husband just kept pushing further.
So when the husband pinched her little hand and brought it to his mouth, gently nibbling with his teeth, Yun Zhi couldn't hold back anymore. She instinctively raised her hand and slapped him.
"Slap."
A sound, neither light nor heavy, rang out.
Yun Zhi's palm landed on her husband's face.
The air instantly went quiet, the atmosphere awkward.
【Well, well, she just slapped the boss right in the face, huh?】
【Is he gonna kill her on the spot? I don't dare watch】
【My beloved streamer, don't die! Can I revive you with an ad? TT】
Not just the bullet comments — even Yun Zhi was a bit stunned.
She blinked, about to say something to make up for it, when her hand was caught by her husband.
The husband stared at her without blinking. His originally pale face flushed with an unusual redness, even the tips of his ears turning red.
His voice was hoarse: "Wife, so you like touching me. If you like it, can you touch me some more..."
After saying this, he looked at Yun Zhi with such desire.
Damn, he really was a pervert!
Yun Zhi's eyes went wide.
【Well damn, I'm just gonna say 'well damn'】
【Streamer: Slaps the boss
Ghoul: Wife touched me, wife loves me】
【Zhi Zhi, don't reward him!】
【I have a feeling something I'd love to see is about to happen. Please don't cut it off this time】
Yun Zhi's hand was pressed against his slightly cool cheek, and without thinking, she patted him twice more.
So satisfying!
Hehe, she had been annoyed by Xie Huaijin's face for a long time; she might as well enjoy it while she could.
The husband's face grew even redder. Spanking is a sign of affection; scolding is a sign of love.
Now he just felt that his wife really loved him.
Wife, wife, wife... He loved his wife too...
The husband couldn't help but lean in for a kiss.
But before they could get too cozy, a loud noise erupted from outside the door.
It didn't sound like it came from just one person; rather, it seemed to be the sound of many ghouls.
It was as if countless hands were pounding on their door.
Urging something, craving something.
The eerie husband's brow furrowed in deep hostility.
The clingy expression he'd worn, like a puppy, vanished. He glared coldly toward the door.
As if staring at a pile of dead things.
Annoying, annoying, annoying — why did trash always have to try to ruin his time with his wife?
"Husband, what's that sound?" Yun Zhi pretended to be scared, curling up in his arms.
But her eyes flickered discreetly.
Perhaps this was the opportunity she had been waiting for.
The husband immediately soothed her, patting her head. "Nothing. Don't worry."
He set Yun Zhi down on the sofa, then stood up.
"Wife, I'm going to go check it out. Wait for me here obediently."
With that, the husband walked toward the door. But just as he was about to leave, he suddenly turned back.
"Tomorrow. Tomorrow we'll go take our wedding photos, okay?"
His pitch-black eyes, devoid of highlights, stared straight at her.
As if waiting for her answer.
He still remembered the wedding photos they had agreed on that day.
Yun Zhi paused for a moment, then nodded with a smile. "Okay."
The husband, having received the answer he wanted, pushed open the door and went out.
His tall figure blocked the doorway completely, making it impossible to see anything inside.
But Yun Zhi could feel that the moment he opened the door, countless eyes seemed to be fixed on her.
Greedy, desirous, hair-raising.
Running rampant in the darkness.
Though it was daytime, the corridor was pitch black.
Xie Huaijin stepped into that darkness without a moment's hesitation.
【Dunno why, but I feel like what the eerie boss just said was a classic death flag】
【No, no! Is my ship about to sink? I've got a bad feeling】
【Wuwuwu, he stepped into the darkness without hesitation to protect her. He really loves the streamer】
【Don't tell me someone's actually shipping a couple in a strange instance? I think you guys are just trolling】
【Don't worry, it's definitely going to be a tragedy】
