The rules of death for the Ghost Bride are almost unsolvable.
Whether you answer yes or no, it will eat you.
Xia Tianqiong is now in this predicament and doesn't know what to do.
Time ticked by, and my back was soaked with cold sweat; every second felt like an eternity.
According to most bizarre death rules, once a question is asked, an answer must be given within a short time, otherwise the rule will be triggered.
He frantically racked his brains for a solution, but still couldn't come up with anything.
But time is running out.
"Damn it! Let's fight it to the death, even if it means dying a glorious death!"
Having no other choice, Xia Tianqiong suddenly hardened her heart and prepared to make the first move.
He quickly took out a mirror, aimed it at the ghost bride, and cast the "Mirror Devours All Things" spell.
A tremendous suction force enveloped the ghost bride, attempting to pull her into the mirror.
But it remained seated there steadily, completely unaffected.
Even the red veil on her head remained completely still.
"So it really won't work? That makes sense. Even the power of rules can't shake these strange women, so how could the mirror image trickery possibly work!"
Although Xia Tianqiong was mentally prepared, seeing this scene still left her feeling utterly devastated.
"whee!"
The ghost bride suddenly laughed, her laughter like the clear, melodious sound of a copper bell, like that of a teenage girl.
"Just kidding. As the owner of this restaurant, how could I bear to eat such a wealthy customer as you?"
"Joke about the rules of death?"
Xia Tianqiong stared at the other person, feeling more speechless than relieved.
Once the death rule is applied, under normal circumstances, it either kills the target or is broken by the target. In cases like the Ghost Bride, where the rule is terminated by herself, the rule has already been violated.
If any other strange entity dares to do this, it will surely be torn apart by the power of the rules.
But it was perfectly fine.
"Are you kidding me? You almost scared me to death."
Xia Tianqiong wanted to curse, but she held back.
"If you don't like this joke, I can make it real!"
"No, no, I like it, okay!"
"Hehe! You can also seriously consider it. I will ask you this question again in the future, and you must give me a definite answer then."
The ghost bride spoke with a grin, as if joking with a friend.
Xia Tianqiong felt a strong sense of wicked amusement and suddenly realized that this strange bride was teasing her!
I never imagined I'd be teased by such a strange creature, especially such a powerful female ghost.
"I don't even know what the girl looks like, how can I agree so easily? Why don't you lift the red veil and let me see the girl's stunning beauty?"
Xia Tianqiong was basically certain that the other party would not be willing to kill her because of the gold.
So he decided to tease her back, otherwise he would be at a huge disadvantage!
Do you really want to see it?
"certainly."
Xia Tianqiong stared intently at the eerie bride across the table.
Then she saw the other person raise her small hand, grasp a corner of the red veil, and slowly lift it up.
The first thing you notice is her fair, slender, and beautifully shaped swan neck, followed by her round and smooth chin.
Xia Tianqiong's heart was surging with excitement without her realizing it. Suddenly, she had a feeling that this woman was definitely an absolute beauty.
Just as the veil was about to be fully lifted, her little hand suddenly stopped. "What kind of bride lifts her own veil? If anyone should lift it, it should be you."
Xia Tianqiong was taken aback by the words of the ghost bride.
"I'll lift it if I want to."
Lifting the veil might also be a death rule, but he believed that even if the rule was triggered, the Bride of the Ghosts wouldn't kill him.
After all, a human life isn't worth much money, and keeping him around would allow them to pay a thousand taels of rent every month.
Unless someone is mentally deficient, the Ghost Bride wouldn't be willing to let him die.
Xia Tianqiong stood up slightly, stretched out her arm across the table, and reached out to lift the red veil from the ghost bride's head.
The ghost bride didn't dodge, letting him grab the edge of her veil and rip it off.
Xia Tianqiong was filled with anticipation, thinking she would see the other party's true face, but the ghost bride disappeared in an instant.
The red veil was still in his hands, but the ghost bride had vanished without a trace.
"You ran away? Are you too ashamed to face people? Don't be afraid, I don't think you're ugly!"
Xia Tianqiong shouted at the empty surroundings.
The voice of the ghost bride came from all directions, drifting and ethereal.
"I'm giving you the red veil. When you decide to become my groom, you will naturally see my true face."
"That's not a good idea. I was just joking. Can I give it back to you?"
Xia Tianqiong held the red veil as if it were a hot potato.
Strange items aren't easy to take, especially those unique to the creature. Taking one creates a causal link with the creature, and it will haunt you ever since.
"No! This is a token of our love that I gave you, how can I return it?"
The ghost bride spoke in a mournful tone, as if it were the truth.
Xia Tianqiong's face was full of black lines. How did the veil you asked me to lift become a token of love?
Clearly, the ghost bride's interest in him stemmed from her desire to harass him.
The red veil appeared to be made of silk, soft and smooth, and almost weightless.
Xia Tianqiong looked at it and suddenly had a thought: Could the red veil be a strange artifact?
Does this red veil have any special function?
“Cover your head and isolate yourself from the world.”
The wicked bride changed her tone and said with a grin, "You're not going to cover your own head with it, are you? I'd really like to see!"
Xia Tianqiong couldn't help but roll her eyes, feeling that this female ghost was a bit frivolous.
With a flip of the mirror, the red veil was stored in the mirror space; this thing might come in handy later.
After exchanging a few more casual words, the man and the ghost ended their conversation.
