Chapter 276: Wedding Invitation
The desolate hills suddenly transformed into an ancient mansion. The Wedding Ghost and the welcoming party disappeared, leaving only Chu Jiang walking stiffly and strangely towards the Ghost Bride.
The Ghost Bride’s beckoning seemed irresistible. Chu Jiang forcefully grabbed his own feet with his dark hands, causing him to fall to the ground.
But his body continued inching forward, moving like a caterpillar. He was determined to get there no matter what.
With great difficulty, Chu Jiang managed to move closer to the Ghost Bride. He stood up spontaneously and felt a strong urge to hold her hand.
However, Chu Jiang forcefully controlled himself because shaking hands requires the use of hands, which he could barely control.
To be honest, both of these ghosts are really strange. The Wedding Ghost’s methods are just too unpredictable. And the terror level of the Ghost Bride seems even higher, to the point where she can completely block the Wedding Ghost from her Ghost Domain.
Speaking of which, is this environment surrounding them the Ghost Domain? What does the Ghost Bride really want? Does she really want to marry a living person??
This is really bad news, considering that anyone kidnapped by the Wedding Ghost as a bride will die.
Now that the Ghost Bride has set her sights on Chu Jiang, if they actually get married, he might also die.
They say that humans match with humans and ghosts match with ghosts. It seems to be some kind of rule.
But Chu Jiang still doesn’t understand what it is about him that the Ghost Bride is attracted to. After all, he’s not some extraordinary handsome boy.
If we simply consider the compatibility in terms of power, the Wedding Ghost would be more suitable for the Ghost Bride, wouldn’t it?
Is it because the Ghost Bride fell in love with herself when she revived and saw the first man?
This "first glance" should be when she was still in the castle, using Michiko’s body to see.
Thinking back now, that baby first held her wrist and then showed a creepy smile. It seemed like he had some evil intentions…
Wait, could it be related to Chu’s Jiang, the ghost?
Perhaps the Ghost Bride is attracted not to his face, but to the ghost inside him…
Seeing Chu Jiang forcibly control his body and not shake hands with her, the Ghost Bride with a covered head didn’t seem to be in a hurry.
It stretched out its right hand and thick red wedding invitation cards appeared out of thin air on top of it. The invitations were blank, but they flew out one by one from the hands of the Ghost Bride, disappearing into the air, destination unknown.
This made Chu Jiang even more confused. What is going on? Calling someone? Could it be that they are really calling parents, relatives, and friends here? They couldn’t possibly still be alive, right?
Chu Jiang hadn’t figured it out yet when he saw a group of people holding wedding invitations immediately enter through the walls outside the courtyard.
The person in front, Chu Jiang, was very familiar. He was a chubby person wearing a big gold chain. He had a sad face and held a wedding invitation in his right hand, looking like he wanted to die.
It was Zhang Dafu, who had previously run to the mountaintop for shelter, along with his relatives and the workers he had hired.
In short, all eight people arrived.
"What are you guys doing?" Chu Jiang asked calmly.
"Big brother, are you planning to marry a ghost? Can you please let us go, at least give us a way out," they pleaded.
Zhang Dafu was initially delighted to see Chu Jiang, but when he noticed that Chu Jiang was wearing groom’s attire and standing next to the bride, he immediately sensed something was wrong. Could it be that his big brother had betrayed them??
Chu Jiang remained silent. He looked at the others, who all had shocked and fearful expressions, but they unconsciously walked in with their wedding invitations and took seats at the empty banquet tables.
There was no doubt that they were being treated as "guests."
They really wanted a grand celebration, huh? Ghost Bride wasn’t satisfied even with fewer people.
Without Chu Jiang asking Zhang Dafu if he regretted digging up this coffin, he was astonished to see the Wedding Ghost walking in.
Chu Jiang thought that this ghost invaded the Ghost Bride’s Ghost Domain, but upon closer look, this ghost also held a wedding invitation in its right hand…
The Wedding Ghost gnashed its teeth, emitting black smoke from its mouth and making hoarse roars from its throat. Its left hand continued to scratch and claw at the Ghost Bride, as if resisting.
However, it still couldn’t break free from some kind of restraint and began to take a seat while holding a wedding invitation.
It’s worth mentioning that the Wedding Ghost’s ghost servants didn’t come in. Perhaps it was because the Ghost Bride didn’t fancy those remnants who lacked even willpower and instincts.
And that’s not all, shortly after, Chu Jiang saw another new ghost entering.
It was a small, withered old man covered in deathly spots. He leaned on a cane with his left hand and held a wedding invitation with his right hand, limping into the courtyard…
This made Chu Jiang realize that these invitations were probably sent to the ghosts; as for Zhang Dafu and the others, they were probably considered the male party’s relatives.
At this moment, all Chu Jiang could think was, "Can this really be happening?!"
……
A little earlier, before Chu Jiang had a conflict with the Wedding Ghost.
On the Tianfeng Mansion side, the lady in white roughly constructed a picture of Chu Jiang in her mind based on Chen Keai’s description:
Calm; handsome; strong and courageous; loving husband; dominant CEO; mysterious family background; seemed to have a slight mental issue when they first met, but has improved recently…
Oh, by the way, this man seems to have no interest in romance or love.
As for the attribute of being a "loving husband," Chen Keai imagined it. She thought that if Chu Jiang really got married, he would be someone who doted on his wife.
Although she had a general image, the lady in white still felt a bit confused. Why did she feel that he resembled the male leads in the romance novels her cousin enjoys?
While the lady was lost in her thoughts, Xu Shengtian, who was casually strolling by, had a strong sense of morality and would never eavesdrop on others’ conversations.
However, as he continued walking, he started to feel that something was off.
But he couldn’t say exactly what was wrong…
Suddenly, Xu Shengtian saw the lady in white turn her head towards a direction, and then she threw her phone over and said, "I’m going to find him!"
Then she ran away and disappeared.
She really vanished in a flash, if someone didn’t know, they would think she had teleported.
"Could it be that big brother has come back?" Xu Shengtian murmured to himself, holding his phone and walking towards the building.
Then he saw a tall figure with nineteen vertical and horizontal lines on its body emerge from the nearby shadows. This figure had no facial features and was holding a deep and dark black chessboard in its right hand.
In that instant, Xu Shengtian froze from head to toe, his scalp tingling. Ghost! That ghost had come back again!!
Xu Shengtian forcefully covered his mouth to prevent himself from making a sound. He trembled all over, wanting to run back to the building to seek help.
But as soon as he turned around, he suddenly remembered something that Master Chu had said. When encountering the Chess Ghost, one must not run away, or they will be killed…
