"What's this? Isn't she actually quite pretty? It's a pity she's turned into an anomaly; it looks like she suffered a lot of injustice when she was alive."
Lin Tian looked at the panic-stricken little face beneath the veil and teased with great interest.
She was indeed beautiful, but he hadn't reached that level of desperation yet. Forgive him for being unable to act like the ghost-bedding hero Ning Caichen; ghosts were definitely not on his menu.
Lin Tian ducked out from under the veil and carefully arranged the red bridal veil for her.
"However, being dead has its perks. Sometimes, the human heart... is truly a terrifying thing."
"Hmm? What's wrong with you all?"
After arranging the red veil, Lin Tian turned his head only to see the blank expressions on everyone's faces.
"Uh... didn't they say not to look at her face? How come..."
"Ah, that. I'm immune to illusions. Trying to cast an illusion on me is impossible. After all, I haven't turned on that mod yet. What a pity."
Hearing Lin Tian's words, the crowd finally remembered what kind of world Lin Tian came from. Lin Tian's power wasn't something ordinary creatures could compare to.
"Shinobu, you can try it too, you know. After all, you count as a [Player] now, right?"
"Forget it, it's better to respect others."
After Lin Tian's disruption, the atmosphere among the group relaxed. Although the Ghost Bride was strong, she was still controlled by Liu Yueyan. Even if she accidentally hurt an ally, it would just be a painless faint.
Moreover, their team contained powerhouses several dimensional tiers stronger than the Ghost Bride, so there really was no need to fear her.
"Let's drop this subject. Since everyone is here, come meet my family. They are looking forward to meeting you all."
Liu Yueyan recalled the Ghost Bride into her body, then went to wake up the still-sleeping Miko Yotsuya.
After all, they were going to meet the elders; they couldn't just leave her here alone, especially since Miko Yotsuya didn't know the way.
"Miko? Wake up, hurry up and wake up. Don't sleep, hey!"
"Ngh..."
Hearing someone calling her, the unconscious Miko Yotsuya groggily woke up. As soon as she woke, Miko Yotsuya closed her eyes, terrified she might see that Ghost Bride again.
Seeing Miko Yotsuya's cute reaction, everyone present felt a bit torn between laughing and crying. She seemed so calm in the original plot, and while she still got scared, she was much more stable than this.
Was it because joining the chat group gave her more confidence, making her corresponding emotions more obvious?
"Miko, open your eyes. I am Shafulin... no, wait! I am Liu Yueyan. Ah Yue has already been recalled by me."
Hearing Liu Yueyan's voice, Miko Yotsuya secretly opened her eyes a crack, only to discover a jar appearing in front of her face. Inside was a pitch-black thing resembling a slime.
As if knowing it was being watched, an eye suddenly popped out on the black, soft, sticky slime, gazing affectionately at Miko Yotsuya.
Immediately afterward, under Miko Yotsuya's eyes—which were gradually losing their light—more and more eyes began to pop out. After filling the entire head, a huge slit suddenly cracked open below the creature's eyes, looking like a mouth had grown there, and it began to laugh.
...
"Huh? Did I take the joke too far?"
Seeing Miko Yotsuya faint again immediately after waking up, Liu Yueyan scratched her head and put the jar away.
The Crowd: '...We need to stay away from this person in the future. Their level of abstraction can be ranked right alongside Xing and the others.'
Xing: 'Hmm? Was someone talking about me just now? As expected, a beautiful girl attracts attention wherever she goes!' Little Raccoon hands on hips.
