Yun Zhi quickly nodded, afraid that if she delayed even a second, the ghoul would become suspicious.
She even proactively leaned in and kissed her husband on the lips: "Husband, rest assured, I will never leave you!"
The eerie husband stared at her steadily, then raised the hand holding the letter in front of her eyes.
The letter was instantly enveloped by a mass of blackness and disappeared.
While doing this, the husband's eyes were fixed on Yun Zhi's reaction.
Yun Zhi gave him a sweet smile: "Husband, well done. This kind of thing that deliberately tries to destroy our couple's relationship shouldn't exist."
The husband confirmed that her expression showed no reluctance, and after a moment, he wrapped an arm around her lower back and led her out of the study room.
The door of the study room was tightly shut behind Yun Zhi.
Even the things in that dark passage were sealed off.
【That's it? How come this eerie husband seems so easy to fool?】
【Pfft, I saw through it long ago, just a love-struck brain, that's all.】
【He can even forgive being openly cuckolded, or is it that the streamer is just too good at coaxing him?】
【Not that—so what if our Zhi Zhi cheats? Isn't it just a mistake that every woman in the world might make? Can't we just pretend we didn't see it?】
【You there, do you dare say that to the boss's face?】
【Haha, I don't have the guts, I dare not.】
【Poor ghoul, just being toyed with by our Zhi Zhi.】
Even Yun Zhi, like the bullet comments, thought she had dodged the disaster.
Who knew that when it was time to sleep at night, the eerie husband wouldn't simply hold her like usual.
Instead, he pressed her down beneath him, an ice-cold and overpowering aura enveloping her completely.
"Husband?" Yun Zhi asked in confusion, only to have her mouth sealed by lips devoid of warmth.
An overwhelming rain of kisses came, and she could barely breathe.
Her husband's kiss was different from the simple touches of the past few days.
He gave Yun Zhi no chance to speak, kissing her incessantly, full of aggression.
As if he really wanted to swallow her up, bite by bite.
【Excuse me, is this something I should be watching in a sinister game stream?】
【Hehe... this is the youth education I should be watching hehe... can we make it HD and remove the mosaic...】
【Why do I find this kind of ship appealing all of a sudden?】
【Divine cuisine, it's truly divine cuisine!】
Only when Yun Zhi couldn't breathe and forcefully pushed against her husband's chest did he finally let her go.
But those dark eyes still stared at Yun Zhi: "Wife, you can never think of leaving me, never..."
"I..." Yun Zhi was about to start making promises when she was silenced again.
Yun Zhi: ...Haha, at least let her speak first.
Her husband's kiss grew deeper and deeper, and Yun Zhi gradually pushed other matters to the back of her mind.
Even her hands were guided by her husband's to rest on his waist.
She wondered if the eerie husband was an exact copy of Xie Huaijin.
But his abdomen was tight, and Yun Zhi could feel the ridges and grooves rising and falling beneath her touch.
It was an ice-cold yet somewhat elastic feel, and as she kept touching, she even started to get a bit into it.
She had never touched Xie Huaijin, so she couldn't compare.
Still, at least she got to enjoy a substitute meal in this sinister game.
"Feels good, wife?" Her husband seemed to be deliberately tempting her, trying to make her drop all her defenses.
Yun Zhi could feel a large palm slowly gripping her waist, vaguely hinting at moving upward.
Could it be that tonight she would...
"Bang——"
"Bang bang——"
The sound of heavy objects hitting rang out, snapping Yun Zhi out of her dazed state.
Her husband frowned irritably, wanting to lower his head and continue.
The pounding from outside seemed to become even more urgent.
Yun Zhi couldn't ignore it and asked softly, "Husband, what's that sound?"
"Maybe it's a rat," her husband said, his eyes darkening.
Yun Zhi: ?
You're telling me what kind of rat can make such a loud noise, a mutant rat?
But in the end, Yun Zhi didn't voice her doubt, merely letting out a dry "Oh."
The pounding continued.
The eerie husband reached out and patted Yun Zhi's head, comforting her: "Wife, you go to sleep first. I'll go chase away the rat."
Yun Zhi wanted to say that with such a loud noise, there was no way she could fall asleep.
But as soon as she closed her eyes, her consciousness began to grow hazy, and she actually did fall asleep.
Once Yun Zhi was asleep, her husband walked toward the door with slow, unhurried steps, not forgetting to pick up the kitchen knife from the kitchen as he headed toward the study room.
The bookshelf slid open on both sides, and the husband leisurely stepped into the passage that Yun Zhi hadn't entered during the day.
"Why are there always trash that won't learn their lesson, trying to steal my wife from me?"
In the darkness, his voice was ethereal, somehow eerie.

When she woke up in the morning, Yun Zhi realized that the instance had only three days left, counting today.
The eerie husband seemed to be in a good mood, with a hint of a smile at the corners of his eyes.
He even asked Yun Zhi with concern: "Wife, you haven't used the black card lately. Is there nothing you like?"
Yun Zhi's eyes flickered, and she tested the waters: "I can't even go out, so there's nothing much to use it for."
Staying at home, where could she use the black card? To top up her phone bill?
But her husband clearly had no intention of taking Yun Zhi out.
He stroked Yun Zhi's head and said with a smile: "It seems I've let my wife get cooped up. Don't worry, when we go to take our wedding photos, we can go out. Then you can buy whatever you want."
At this moment, the eerie husband looked very gentle—a gentleness that had never appeared on Xie Huaijin's face.
"Okay, love you, husband." Yun Zhi gave him a sweet smile, but as soon as the door closed, her expression turned ice-cold.
The eerie husband's happiness today was not a good thing for her. Something must have happened last night.
She had planned to follow the eerie husband out to see what was going on, but somehow she had fallen asleep.
Yun Zhi was certain that wasn't normal sleep.
So what exactly had happened to make the eerie husband so happy?
Yun Zhi didn't know, but she knew she had to keep looking for clues.
The whole house was only about a hundred square meters, and she had already searched every inch these past few days. The only thing left was the passage she had found behind the study room yesterday.
Although the eerie husband was strictly guarding against it, Yun Zhi decided today that she had to go take a look.
Yun Zhi went to the study room and, using the method from yesterday, slid the bookshelf open on both sides, revealing the pitch-black passage inside.
The smell of blood hit her again. Yun Zhi picked up a flashlight and went in, finally getting a clear view of the entire space.
【I dare not look, I feel like there's something terrifying inside.】
【Ugh, gotta say, the streamer is really brave going into this pitch-black place.】
【This is giving me claustrophobia just watching.】
"Tap—tap—" The only sounds in the space were Yun Zhi's own footsteps and breathing.
She found the button on the wall and turned on the light.
The light flashed on, instantly illuminating the space.
