Chapter 85 The ghosts were making a ruckus...

The ghosts chattered incessantly, their faces filled with sorrow and grief, their lips pressed tightly together, yet their eyes held an unusual determination, as if even if there were a guillotine ahead, they would still rush forward without hesitation.

The young woman lowered her head and gently stroked her belly, the belly of a child that would never be born. From behind the horde of ghosts came a weak voice.

The speaker was a pretty young girl. She said, "But we don't have enough ghosts either..."

The young woman looked up.

The other ghosts quickly realized what was happening, "Two more are still missing..."

The young woman paused, then looked at Lu Hun. Lu Hun seemed to have understood everything the moment he saw the letter. His face was calm as he slowly spoke, "Yes, it's still me and my little brother who are missing."

Wei Yin was so shocked by his words that her hands went weak. She grabbed Lu Hun and asked, "What did you say?"

Lu Hun ignored her and said to the young woman, "I will have someone ask my younger brother if he is willing before making any further plans."

The young woman nodded sadly.

“Lu Hun, what did you mean by what you just said? You want to…” Stepping outside, Wei Yin turned around and glared at the young man who followed closely behind her. As always, the young man kept his head down and did not look at her expression.

"You will vanish into nothingness," she said, her eyes stinging.

The boy finally looked up at her. "Sister, you probably don't know how dangerous our situation is. We're trapped in a magic array by Grandpa He. If we can't get out, he'll definitely make you do 'that kind of thing.' We have no choice."

"That won't let you..." Wei Yin turned her face away halfway through her sentence.

Lu Hun pressed her shoulder, turning her towards him, "Think about those ghosts locked up inside. If this magic array cannot be broken, their grievances will never be known by anyone in the world. No matter what, I have to do this."

Wei Yin continued to glare at him. Seeing that she didn't speak, the young man didn't dare to say anything more to anger her. He simply summoned Po Jun and asked him to take the letter he had given to that ghost boy out.

Po Jun left, and Lu Hun turned to look at Wei Yin. She was still staring at him intently. He closed his eyes sadly, then forced a smile and said to Wei Yin, "Sister Wei, I was never meant to be born into this world. If it weren't for Po Jun, I would have been dead long ago. But I never expected that Heaven would give me another chance to be a ghost, to see you again, and to be with you again. I never dreamed that this day would come. We are separated by life and death. Even if I stayed, I would surely bring you trouble. But now, to hear you say you love me, I have no other wish in this life."

“Sister, Lu Hun cannot bear to watch those who have suffered the same fate disappear from this world silently. The injustices they suffered should be known to others.”

Wei Yin stared at him with deep sorrow, but couldn't utter a single word.

Lu Hun laughed again, but the smile was not sad; instead, it was carefree, as if the melancholy that had accompanied him throughout his life had been released. He saw Wei Yin's cloak slip off her shoulders and fall to the ground. He picked up the cloak and carefully draped it over her shoulders. Afraid of upsetting her, he did not dare to hold her hand as usual, but simply let his hands hang at his sides, remaining silent.

Wei Yin asked, "Have you thought it through?"

Lu Hun paused for a moment, then said, "I've made up my mind, sister."

Wei Yin said nothing more, ignored him, and turned to walk away.

Lu Hun stood behind him, his fist slightly clenched.

The young woman watched them from a distance and shook her head.

Wei Yin went straight back to the strange wedding room that Old Master He had arranged for her and He Wenqing. She looked at the red curtains, ripped them off, and chased away the people who had set them up. They didn't dare say anything and ran away in a hurry.

Wei Yin was in turmoil. She never imagined that this young man would one day vanish into nothingness. All the memories of the past flashed before her eyes, especially the young man's shy, downcast face. He had a very good temper and always spoke to her carefully. Yet he had chosen death so easily, even if it was for her sake. But she was unwilling to accept this debt of gratitude.

The young woman arrived, and Wei Yin looked at her with a puzzled expression. The young woman sat down beside her and chuckled, "Go and see that young boy from the Lu family. After you left, he sat there silently by himself. I wanted to say a few words to him, but he just coldly told me to leave, making it so that no one dared to touch him. When Po Jun returned with the message, he wanted to go up to him, but he was also scolded away. It was the first time I had ever seen him lose his temper, and he looked so pitiful."

"He's always had this eccentric personality."

"Who said that? I think he's acting very strangely; he looks very sad."

What's making him sad?

“Miss Wei,” the young woman chuckled, “Let me tell you the truth, do you really think he didn’t want to live? Even if it meant living as a ghost? To stay by your side? It’s because there’s a barrier between humans and ghosts. He knows that even if he stays by your side for many years, his ghostly aura will weaken your body and cause fatal damage. He understands that he will leave you sooner or later, and rather than bring you trouble in the future, he’d rather use his ghostly body to help you leave this place.”

Wei Yin was stunned and couldn't say a word. She remembered that he had said these things to her when they met again in the desolate state.

"Don't just stand there." The young woman handed Lu Hun a thick coat and urged, "Go and see him. You left without paying any attention to him just now. He thinks you're angry with him and doesn't want to see him again. He's very depressed and almost dying of depression."

Wei Yin nodded gratefully to the young woman, took the clothes, and jogged off to find Lu Hun.

Just as the young woman had said, Lu Hun was squatting alone in an empty house behind the house, his legs propped up, his hands hugging his knees, his face buried in his knees, sitting there stiffly without moving, looking quite pitiful.

Wei Yin unfolded the thick coat and draped it over him. Lu Hun assumed it was another kind-hearted young woman and was about to push the coat away when she stopped him. "Don't take it off. Wear it properly."

Lu Hun abruptly stopped what he was doing and looked up at her unexpectedly.

His eyes were still noticeably red.

Wei Yin was shocked and couldn't believe it. "You're crying?"

"No," Lu Hun said stubbornly, turning his face away.

"Really not?" Wei Yin teased him, "Then why are your eyes so red and wet all of a sudden? Lu Hun, you're so shameful. You're such a grown man, and you're still crying."

Hearing her smiling tone, Lu Hun seemed to be completely moved by her words. Suddenly, he couldn't suppress his emotions anymore and hugged Wei Yin's waist. He buried his head in her chest. Although he didn't say a word, his whole head was trembling, as if he had suffered a great injustice. Gradually, Wei Yin felt that her chest was wet.

Wei Yin was terrified and quickly cupped his face in her hands, asking softly, "What's wrong?"

“I thought my sister was angry with me.” Lu Hun’s voice was hoarse. “Before I leave this world, my sister will never say another word to me.”

"No, my sister won't ignore Lu Hun."

Wei Yin lovingly stroked his thin face. This boy had been unfortunate since childhood, and his body had always been extremely thin.

Lu Hun hugged her waist tightly, burying his face in her shoulder, as if he wanted to embed himself into her body and belong to her completely. The boy's sorrowful voice came from her body.

"Sister, if only I were human, I could be like He Wenqing, able to become an official, marry you, have children with you, and grow old together in love. If I could live a good life, why would I leave you? Why would I separate from the sister who finally fell in love with me? I can't bear it, I really can't bear it..."

“Lu Hun…”

At this moment, the boy completely revealed his true feelings: "As long as I have a normal background, I am worthy of my sister. I can boldly like my sister, propose to her, and ask her to marry me."

“Lu Hun…”

The boy was completely immersed in his grief, his whole body convulsing with pain. Wei Yin quickly ran her fingers through his hair and kissed him urgently, "Lu Hun, don't think like that anymore, you can't take it. Get up, let your sister kiss you, okay?"

Lu Hun's voice choked with emotion, his emotions fluctuating wildly, and a lot of black energy was uncontrollably emanating from his body, but he still listened to her and raised his head.

Wei Yin quickly kissed him, her own eyes reddening.

"Lu Hun, don't be sad anymore. Your sister is still by your side now, isn't she?"

Lu Hun kept his eyes tightly shut, clutching her clothes, and still said, "I want to be a normal person, I want to marry my sister, why can't I be a normal person?"

Wei Yin sighed deeply in her heart. She said nothing more, but kept kissing his forehead, his eyes, and his pale lips.

After a long while, she finally shed tears, "Since Lu Hun wants to marry you so much, how about you get married, sister?"

The boy nestled in her arms suddenly froze, staring at her in utter disbelief, as if he thought he had misheard. But Wei Yin stared intently into his eyes and said earnestly, word by word, "How about Lu Hun and sister get married?"

Lu Hun finally understood what she was saying. After a moment of stunned silence, he suddenly turned his face away, forcibly suppressing his emotions as he said, "No...it can't be..."

Wei Yin turned his face back to him. "Why not?"

Lu Hun sighed, "Sister, I will soon disappear from this world, why delay you any longer?"

"Lu Hun," Wei Yin said with a smile, "Sister doesn't care about these things, but doesn't Lu Hun want to be husband and wife with sister for a day? Doesn't Lu Hun want sister to turn you into a man?"

Lu Hun was moved.

How could I not be tempted?

One-day couple.

These four words.

It was his lifelong dream and aspiration.

Wei Yin didn't try to persuade him any further. She simply helped him up from the ground and led him outside. The young woman and the group of ghosts were all outside, and even Po Jun was flying around anxiously. Wei Yin called Po Jun over and told it, "Po Jun, I'm writing you a letter. Take it to my father and tell him that his daughter is going to marry Lu Hun. Please ask him for permission."

Po Jun was surprised and overjoyed, so much so that he fluttered and flew around wildly.

The young woman was slightly taken aback, then looked at Wei Yin and Lu Hun with a smile and a hint of helplessness. The ghosts were overjoyed and surrounded them to offer their congratulations.
