Chapter 94 -94: Marrying Off in a Ghost Marriage
Watching Zhao Yazi’s anxious expression, Zhong Niangyao shook her head and spoke indifferently, “There’s no need to rush; he’s not going to die, at least not yet.”
Such words, when spoken, didn’t sound like good news. Yet, in the hearts of Ou Liyan and Zhao Yazi, it brought a wave of relief.
Zhong Niangyao’s gaze hardened as she looked at the bedridden Ou Xuanhan. Instantly, her demeanor underwent a dramatic transformation; the languid aura vanished, replaced by a piercing chill. She lifted her hands, fingers forming a Seal.
“Heaven and Earth are mysterious and primeval, may the Hundred Demons not invade, all evil retreat, begone—”
As her voice trailed off, the Seal’s formation ended too. A beam of golden light shot directly towards Ou Xuanhan, who lay in the bed, and then descended upon him.
“Cough, cough, cough—”
...
After several coughs, Ou Xuanhan opened his eyes, touched his face, looked around at the familiar surroundings, and then scrambled up with a grunt. As he looked up, he saw Zhong Niangyao standing not far from the bed, regarding him with a look of disdain.
“Master, save me!”
The moment he saw Zhong Niangyao, Ou Xuanhan immediately tried to throw himself at her, only to embarrassingly miss.
Zhong Niangyao instinctively dodged to the side, “Talk properly, no need for any physical contact, or else I might just finish you off.”
Hearing her chilling words, Ou Xuanhan froze, but then quickly recovered and pleaded, “Master, I promise I won’t touch you again. Please, save me!”
On the side, Ou Liyan and Zhao Yazi also came back to their senses. Seeing their son’s lively state, the weight in their hearts finally lifted.
They approached, and after making sure that Ou Xuanhan was fine, their minds were free to inquire about what had actually happened.
Zhong Niangyao walked over to the sofa, sat down directly, then leaned back lazily, looking towards Ou Xuanhan, “What exactly happened, he knows it better than anyone.”
Suddenly called out, Ou Xuanhan was still bewildered. He pointed at himself with an innocent look, “Master, I really didn’t do anything! I don’t know why that female ghost kept chasing me, calling me ‘husband.'”
He was still shaken by the events of the past few days in his dreams. He knew clearly that he was dreaming; a female ghost in red had been pursuing him, insisting on marrying him, calling him ‘husband’ incessantly.
He wanted to wake up but couldn’t open his eyes no matter what. Just when he was in despair, he suddenly felt an intense heat in his chest, which briefly awoke him. He remembered the talisman paper he had kept close to his heart and, seizing the moment of clarity, had his parents quickly find Zhong Niangyao.
After that, he fell back into the terrifying dream until a golden light suddenly appeared, enveloping him and bringing him back.
“Master, is Xuan Han safe now?” Zhao Yazi’s face showed concern, “Will that female ghost come back for him?”
“How could he be safe!” Zhong Niangyao looked at Ou Xuanhan and chuckled coldly, then continued, “He has already agreed to the female ghost’s marriage proposal; now she wants to come and bond in marriage. You tell me, will she come back?”
“What?”

Hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, Ou Liyan stepped forward and smacked Ou Xuanhan on the head, “You little fool, what have you done? How dare you agree to a ghost’s marriage proposal—are you out of your mind?”
“I’m innocent!” Ou Xuanhan quickly protested, “I really don’t know anything. Besides, even if I were stupid, I wouldn’t agree to a ghost’s marriage proposal!”
“Do you remember what I have always cautioned you?” Zhong Niangyao spoke softly.
“I remember!” Ou Xuanhan nodded, “Not to go to graveyards, not to pick things up—”
His voice halted abruptly at this point.
“It seems you remember now.” Zhong Niangyao continued, “You didn’t go to a graveyard, but when you passed by that crematorium, did you pick something up outside?”
“It was just a purse.” Ou Xuanhan looked like he was about to cry, “I thought the purse was too exquisite to be simply discarded on the road, and there was a bracelet inside that seemed to carry some memories, almost like an antique. I was worried that someone was in distress over losing it, which is why I picked it up.”
“And I didn’t keep it for myself—I took it to the police station!”
“Didn’t you consider what it meant for a lady to give a man a purse in ancient times!” Zhong Niangyao spoke languidly, “By picking up that purse and opening it, you accepted her token of engagement. The two of you are now bound in a betrothal, so of course she wants to pursue you to consummate the union.”
“That’s why you mustn’t casually pick things up. I reminded you, but you didn’t keep it in mind.”
“Such a fool you are,” Zhao Yazi couldn’t help but poke a finger at Ou Xuanhan’s forehead, annoyed, “What on earth does your brain usually retain? You forget such important things, yet how come you never forget to eat or sleep?”
Ou Xuanhan, feeling wronged, was unable to retort.
“Master, what should we do now?” Ou Liyan stepped forward, earnestly asking, “How can we resolve this now? No matter what, Xuan Han is a living person; he can’t actually marry a ghost!”
“How to resolve this isn’t easily said,” Zhong Niangyao shook her head and replied, “Wait and see! Marriage is a matter for two parties; breaking it off requires both to be present and clear things up.”
“We’ll just wait for that female ghost to show up, and then we’ll clarify everything face to face!”
As she spoke, as if remembering something, she suddenly pulled out her phone, opened the payment QR code, and presented it to Ou Xuanhan, “Alright, pay up!”
This sudden move left everyone present a bit dumbfounded. They had not expected Zhong Niangyao to make such a move in such a tense moment.
“Master, this—” Ou Xuanhan was still struggling to keep up.
“One hundred thousand yuan,” Zhong Niangyao stated plainly, “You haven’t forgotten, have you? I gave you a talisman before, and you didn’t pay then. Now that you’ve used that talisman, surely you don’t plan to skip the bill. Hmm—”
Her final tone was unmistakably threatening.
