Chapter 216: Ghost King's Husband (1) (High Sugar Content)
When he opened his eyes again, Chen Tian found that he seemed to be sitting in a small space, but his face was covered with something, so he could not see the surrounding scene clearly.
Not only was it small, but the seat he was sitting on was also wobbly. The constant sounds of festive music and drums around him made Chen Tian wonder if he was in a bridal sedan, a bride about to be married.
And it was obvious that this 'bride' was forced, because she was now tied up with thick hemp ropes, making her unable to move at all and could only sit there passively.
Still not knowing anything, Chen Tian decided to hold his ground. Since no one would disturb him, he shouted directly into his sea of consciousness, "009, you can pass on the plot."
Who would have known that what appeared before him was not the little fat fox from the past, but a light white-gold little fox with a pair of huge ears.
The furry little fox jumped a few times, rushed over from the depths of the sea of consciousness, and said to Chen Tian: "Boss, Uncle Jiu and Xiao Wu went on vacation together, and now I am the successor!"
The little wide-eared fox made a playful and pleasant sound, and you could tell it was a cute little girl as soon as you heard it.
Chen Tian suddenly realized that this was indeed the case. The previous small worlds were all thanks to 009's help, but 009 also had a lover.
Having separated 009 from his lover for so long, Chen Tian certainly couldn't keep exploiting his capable subordinate and needed to show some sympathy and care. So he gave him and 555 a long vacation so that the couple could enjoy life.
Originally, they wanted to ask 001 to take over, but 001 was busy helping Bai Xi and the others. 002 volunteered, saying that he was single and didn't have any urgent tasks recently. It would be a good opportunity to watch the boss fall in love and learn from him.
Having said that, as one of the earliest systems of the Plane Management Bureau, 002's capabilities are obvious to all, so Chen Tian is naturally relieved to have her as a partner.
Chen Tian saw that she was also an old acquaintance, so he smiled and said to her, "So it's 002, but I remember you seemed to have given yourself a new name before."
"Yes, Boss!" The little fox twitched his ears excitedly upon hearing this. "Always calling me numbers is so boring. I've seen many systems give themselves other names, so I've chosen one too. You can also call me Youyou."
"柚" has the same pronunciation as "又", which means "two" in short. It is a simple and easy-to-understand name.
Chen Tian nodded in agreement, and then asked the little fox to convey the plot of this small world into his mind.
It was Bai Su who chose this small world, so Chen Tian currently knows nothing about this world. He only knows that his Xiaobai deliberately did not bring his memories with him and asked him to follow him, saying that he wanted to give him a surprise.
Chen Tian is looking forward to the surprise.
After a quick look at the plot, I discovered that the small world they were in was an ancient dimension.
There is a country called Dongling on this continent. Chen Tian’s name in this life is Su Chen.
The original owner, Su Chen, had a very happy childhood. He came from a well-off family, his parents lived in harmony, and he was intelligent and well-educated. Therefore, many people said that Su Chen might not have a bright future. With his talent, he might have become a high-ranking official, bringing honor to his family.
The family was originally harmonious, but who would have thought that when Su Chen was a teenager, his parents went out for an outing in the mountains and had an accident. The couple fell off a cliff and died, leaving Su Chen alone.
Overnight, Su Chen became an orphan, and then he lived with his uncle Su Chengwang.
Su Chengwang took over his sister's family's property and treated Su Chen well at first. Especially after Su Chen passed the imperial examination, his uncle's family treated him even better and kept saying that they would marry his cousin Su Miaoxuan to him.
Su Chen had no feelings for Su Miaoxuan, but according to his parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Since his parents were already dead, such matters naturally fell to his uncle.
What's more, his cousin has always been gentle and considerate to him, which makes Su Chen feel that it would be a good idea to marry such a wife.
Who would have thought that one day when he was out with Su Miaoxuan, they met a few drunks. Su Miaoxuan was molested by those drunks because of her good looks.
Seeing his cousin being humiliated, Su Chen naturally wanted to intervene, but he was just a weak scholar and was immediately beaten up by those drunkards.
Although someone intervened and the drunks were taken to the government and received due punishment, Su Chen was left disabled and had a lame leg.
In Dongling, people with disabilities cannot serve as officials. So Su Chen's lame leg was like ruining his official career.
From that time on, his uncle Su Chengwang's family changed their attitude. His uncle and aunt began to order him around and treated him like a servant.
Even his cousin, who had always been gentle to him, began to ignore him and showed disgust from time to time.
Su Chen was heartbroken, and he saw the true face of this family. So he wanted to leave his uncle's house and asked Su Chengwang to ask for the property left by his parents.
The Su family was considered a wealthy family at the time, and they left behind a lot of assets. He didn't want to take all of it back, but only wanted to take back half, and use the other half as a thank you for Su Chengwang's care over the years.
Su Chengwang reluctantly agreed, but the next night he prepared a table full of food and wine, saying it was a farewell dinner.
Su Chen thought his uncle's family still had some affection for him, but after two glasses of wine, he lost consciousness. When he woke up again, he was already sitting in the sedan chair.
Chen Tian, who has a partial perspective of the world, knows that all this is not that simple.
In fact, the death of Su Chen’s parents was also related to Su Chengwang.
Su Chengwang had been in business for many years, but he was still a small business owner. He had always been jealous of his brother-in-law, who was a successful businessman and lived a wealthy life. So he sought help from an old Taoist priest, hoping that his fortune would improve.
Who knew that the old Taoist actually said that there was a way, but it required taking away his sister's luck.
Su Chengwang was a selfish person, and he agreed without thinking.
But he didn't expect that the method was so insidious that it would directly harm the lives of the Su couple.
At the beginning, he felt a little guilty and was nice to Su Chen.
But later his fortune improved, he got his sister's family property, his life became comfortable, but he became more greedy. Knowing that Su Chen would never become an official in the future, how could Su Chengwang be willing to return half of the family property?
He didn't dare to kill directly, so he had another evil idea and found the old Taoist. The old Taoist actually offered him a way, saying that he could borrow money from ghosts. On the one hand, he could get rid of Su Chen, and on the other hand, he could use Su Chen as a stepping stone to get benefits.
As for this method of borrowing money, it is ghost marriage.
The Bai Mansion in the east of the city was a famous haunted house. Abandoned for years, it looked eerie even during the day, and no one dared approach. For some reason, even the government didn't dare to seize the land.
The person the old Taoist was talking about for the ghost marriage was the Bai Mansion, because the Bai Mansion was where the Ghost King of this place lived before his death. If Su Chen was sent to the ghost marriage, they would naturally gain benefits.
When the original owner woke up from the bridal sedan, tied up, she realized that she had been tricked by her uncle.
He was a conservative man and felt that he could not escape his fate. Unable to bear such humiliation, he wanted to bite his tongue to commit suicide in the sedan chair.
Fortunately, the system appeared in time and made a deal with him, saying that it could allow him to live a safe and wealthy life in his next life in exchange for his identity in this world.
However, Su Chen is not a greedy person, and he doesn't care too much about what blessings he will have in his next life.
He was willing to trade identities, but also expressed his own wishes. He hoped his uncle's family would receive the punishment they deserved. He also hoped that, after all his years of study, he really wanted to be a government official, supporting the people and giving himself a sense of responsibility. Of course, he didn't have to hold a high position.
The system naturally agreed to such a simple request immediately, and thus, Su Chen was taken away to reincarnate. Now the person in the sedan chair was replaced by Chen Tian.
After understanding the whole story, Chen Tian felt that Su Chen's request was not high.
The reason why Chen Tian and Bai Su came to this world is because there seems to be a time traveler in this world who disrupted the fortune of the small world.
However, this time traveler has little connection with the main storyline, and his identity cannot be confirmed yet.
Chen Tian was somewhat suspicious of the old Taoist who acted strangely, but he couldn't be sure since he hadn't seen him.
But now, Chen Tian is very interested in the Bai Mansion with whom he is about to have a ghost marriage.
If nothing unexpected happens, that Ghost King should be his own lover.
I couldn't help but curl my lips. Xiaobai said he wanted to give me a surprise, but I didn't expect it to be such a big deal as soon as I got there.
They were forced to get married, and he liked it!
So, although Chen Tian woke up along the way, he did not resist at all.
After a long while, the sedan finally stopped, and the curtain outside was suddenly lifted. The originally noisy sounds around suddenly quieted down.
In an instant, Chen Tian felt a familiar soul fluctuation. It was his lover, standing not far from him.
It’s a pity that he was wearing a veil at the moment and couldn’t see the scene outside clearly.
Just as he was happily thinking about getting married soon, Chen Tian suddenly felt a cold hand touching his neck. Then his vision went black and he lost consciousness.
When he woke up again, the veil covering his face had not been taken off, but he was very sure that he had changed the scene. He was now lying on a soft big bed, covered with a comfortable quilt.
So, am I in a new house now?
Through the veil, Chen Tian could see the light outside. He was a little excited, wondering if his lover would come over and do something to him. But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement.
Chen Tian could only helplessly lift the veil himself and sit up.
His guess was correct. This was indeed a new house. The surroundings were decorated in red, and there was a sumptuous feast on the table.
He lowered his head and saw that the red wedding dress he was wearing had not been taken off at all, which made him feel a little regretful.
He seemed to be the only one in the room.
But he knew it was just an appearance.
Because on the high table were not only dragon and phoenix candles, but also a black tablet with the words "Bai Su" engraved on it.
His lover must be secretly watching him in the room!
