Chapter 42: Chapter 42: The Ghost Coins Were Made by Gu Yuan? One Drop of Blood for 100 Million Ghost Coins

Meanwhile.

With a flash of white light,

Yun Zhenyue found herself back home.

Before she could even get her bearings,

Lily, who was nestled in her pupils, was already growing impatient.

With a WHOOSH, she shot out.

When she spotted Gu Yuan on the sofa watching TV,

she let out a meow.

In just a few quick steps, she burrowed into Gu Yuan’s arms,

and began to purr contentedly.

She even craned her neck to rub her little head against Gu Yuan’s chin.

"Honey, you’re back?"

Gu Yuan placed Lily on his lap and smiled at Yun Zhenyue.

He had actually been keeping an eye on the situation at the Blood Moon Restaurant the whole time.

He’d been thinking that if Lily lost control, he would have to personally intervene.

Thankfully, Yun Zhenyue was quick-witted and realized her clothes carried his scent, which was how she had managed to subdue Lily.

"Mhm!"

"This was all thanks to you, honey. I’m so glad I called you."

Yun Zhenyue said joyfully as she sat down on the sofa,

joining Gu Yuan in stroking Lily’s back.

"It was nothing," Gu Yuan said, shaking his head. "All that matters is that you’re safe."

The two of them chatted for a while.

Soon,

Yun Zhenyue stood up and headed to the kitchen.

"I’ll go make dinner, then. You’ve probably finished most of the food in the fridge."

But when she opened the refrigerator, she saw it was piled high with fresh groceries.

Yun Zhenyue, her eyes wide with surprise, turned her head.

Seeing her reaction, Gu Yuan chuckled. "The manager of the Shadowy Shop downstairs sent those over."

"I’ve already paid. Just cook whatever you want."

"Oh, I see..."

Trusting him completely, Yun Zhenyue soon whipped up a feast.

She brought plate after plate of fragrant dishes to the dining table.

The two of them ate heartily and were full within minutes.

Just then,

Yun Zhenyue suddenly remembered the million Ghost Coins. She pulled the bankbook from her pocket and also withdrew the additional bonus portion from her system!

CLATTER~

In the blink of an eye!

Ghost Coins, imprinted with black patterns, piled up on the living room floor like a snowdrift.

The corners of Yun Zhenyue’s eyes crinkled into a line. Her expression was one of pride, as if she were waiting for Gu Yuan’s praise.

"Honey, this bankbook holds the profits from the Blood Moon Restaurant."

"And all this—I earned it!"

"It’s almost a million Ghost Coins!"

Seeing this, Gu Yuan smiled faintly.

He had no use for Ghost Coins at all.

Besides, if he ever needed them, he could create trillions of Ghost Coins in an instant!

But Gu Yuan still patted Yun Zhenyue’s head and showered her with praise.

"Hee hee~"

Yun Zhenyue was overjoyed, her almond-shaped eyes curving into tiny crescents.

"Honey, you should save these Ghost Coins. Once we have enough, we can get a bigger house."

"My favorite is the kind with a small courtyard, with fruit trees and a lawn. Butterflies in the spring, and pure white snow in the winter. I’ve always dreamed of living in a place like that."

"A small courtyard, huh?"

Gu Yuan nodded.

However, he didn’t take Yun Zhenyue’s Ghost Coins.

He said softly, "You should hold onto them for now."

"I’m not short on Ghost Coins."

"Let me tell you a little secret of mine..."

Yun Zhenyue was very curious when she heard this.

She leaned closer to Gu Yuan, pressing her ear toward him.

When she heard Gu Yuan’s so-called little secret,

her eyes instantly shot wide open!

She clapped a hand over her mouth, her expressive eyes filled with utter disbelief, as if she had heard something completely impossible. Even her breathing grew ragged.

Because what Gu Yuan said was...

...he was the one who created the Ghost Coins of the Ghost World.

As for how, exactly?

A single drop of his blood could be turned into one hundred million Ghost Coins!

And depending on the concentration, they could be divided into Ghost Coins of different denominations!

In other words,

the Yin energy within the Ghost Coins was, in fact, his power.

And Yun Zhenyue believed him!

...

However,

the global audience was dumbfounded when they heard this.

Was this some kind of joke?

That was the most ridiculous brag ever!

Was there no limit to his boasting?

Even the Dragon Country audience thought it was too absurd.

One drop of blood for one hundred million Ghost Coins?

If he gave a few hundred milliliters of blood, wouldn’t that be hundreds of billions of Ghost Coins?

Wasn’t he afraid of causing hyperinflation in the Ghost World?

[I can hardly believe it. If this is true, could he be an Evil Star?]

[Evil Star? Even a top-tier Great Evil probably couldn’t do that!]

[Could Gu Yuan mean he can counterfeit Ghost Coins?]

[How could you counterfeit Ghost Coins? They all have Yin energy inside. If they could be faked so convincingly, every country would have done it by now.]

[Why are you all taking this so seriously? Gu Yuan is just teasing his wife!]

[You scared me! My heart almost stopped just now!]

...

Yun Zhenyue went to take a shower.

Lily was dozing on the sofa.

Gu Yuan took the initiative to clear the table.

Just as he was pondering what kind of gift to give Yun Zhenyue,

he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Gu Yuan stopped what he was doing and opened it.

He saw a strange woman standing timidly at the entrance.

She wore a silk slip dress, revealing a large expanse of pale skin on her chest. Under the light, it shimmered as if coated in honey, and a glistening light swam in her alluring eyes.

Gu Yuan’s brow furrowed slightly. He recognized this woman.

Her husband also lived on the third floor.

He was a genuine Resentful Soul known as the Suturing Doctor.

He was also the weakest of the supernatural partners assigned to the female players.

However, due to his special ability to heal the supernatural, he was well-connected and quite popular.

Gu Yuan had even spoken with the Suturing Doctor before and had a good impression of him.

At this moment,

noticing Gu Yuan’s gaze,

Ruan Chunxiang from Monkey Country bit her lower lip, deliberately putting on a pitiful expression.

She was here to seduce Gu Yuan!

She couldn’t stand how poor and weak her own matched partner was,

so she had set her sights on Gu Yuan, who lived on the same floor.

Although she assumed Gu Yuan was also a Resentful Soul, he was far more mysterious than that weak doctor.

Hadn’t she seen Yun Zhenyue living it up at the Blood Moon Restaurant?

Besides,

the supernatural matchmaking didn’t say you couldn’t switch husbands, did it?

And there was no rule saying she couldn’t cheat.

"Sir... may I please come in?"

"My husband doesn’t treat me well. I was hoping to stay at your place for a few days, if that’s okay?"

Seeing Ruan Chunxiang’s artificial and affected mannerisms,

Gu Yuan could feel goosebumps rising on his skin.

Besides, compared to the other supernatural beings, the Suturing Doctor could be considered a great philanthropist.

’She’s just betraying him like this?’

This woman couldn’t even compare to a single strand of Yun Zhenyue’s hair.

Gu Yuan wouldn’t give her a second glance.

"No."

Gu Yuan’s expression was icy as he immediately rejected Ruan Chunxiang’s request.

"I already have a wife. Please have some self-respect."

"If you don’t want me to tell the Suturing Doctor about this, you’d better leave right now!"

Upon hearing these heartless words,

Ruan Chunxiang was unwilling to give up.

’I’ve already put on my most beautiful face.’

’Any man’s heart should be pounding by now, right?’

’I was a beauty crowned "Miss International" of Monkey Country!’

’How could he not be tempted?’

Ruan Chunxiang thought Gu Yuan was just pretending.

So she swayed her chest and reached a hand through the doorway, as if to push her way inside.

"BANG!"

And just then!

Gu Yuan instantly slammed the door shut!

He almost crushed Ruan Chunxiang’s fingers!

If she hadn’t been quick to snatch her hand back, she would probably be screaming in pain right now.

Having had the door slammed in her face, Ruan Chunxiang’s own face flushed red with humiliation.

She knew Gu Yuan felt nothing for her.

Her expression turned resentful.

"Cowardly man."

"Won’t even eat what’s served to him on a platter."

She took a deep breath and had no choice but to return, defeated.

...

Seeing Gu Yuan act so heartlessly,

the Monkey Country audience, who had just been discussing whether Ruan Chunxiang would succeed, became furious!

In their eyes, Yun Zhenyue only had a pretty face.

When it came to figure, Ruan Chunxiang was a Miss International, curvy and voluptuous—infinitely better than her!

How could he reject her when she offered herself up like that?

The Monkey Country audience, already feeling humiliated, exploded with rage!

[He must have a problem down there. Who wouldn’t like Miss Ruan Chunxiang?]

[Miss Ruan Chunxiang, how could you cheat!!]

[What cheating? Are you really taking this supernatural matchmaking seriously?]

[People from Dragon Country are just cowards! They won’t even take what’s offered for free!]

[Just you wait, the people of Dragon Country will regret this!]
