But the ghost bride seemed not to hear at all. Her deeply sunken eyes stared fixedly at Feng Chengyuan, filled with infatuation.
"Feng Lang, you've finally come. I've been waiting for you for so long," she said.
Her long fingernails dug deeply into Feng Chengyuan's arm like sharp knives. Her voice was filled with intoxication as she said, "Feng Lang, during the days of waiting for you, I've been diligently cultivating myself. I've bought a house and a car and prepared everything! Now that you're here, let's skip all the pre - wedding formalities and go straight into the bridal chamber, shall we? From now on, we'll be inseparable, bound together for all lifetimes!"
After saying that, the ghost bride pulled Feng Chengyuan towards her home without any explanation.
Seeing that the ghost bride wouldn't listen to reason, Feng Chengyuan quietly took out the amulet Yu Nian had given him from his bosom.
Just as he was about to throw it at the ghost bride, someone beat him to it.
With a soft "whoosh", a talisman paper hit the ghost bride's arm quickly and accurately, and a puff of blue - purple smoke rose.
The ghost bride let go of him in pain and staggered forward several steps before stopping.
She turned around resentfully, glaring at Yu Nian, who was standing in front of Feng Chengyuan, with hatred and venom in her eyes.
"Who are you? Why are you ruining my good deed?"
Yu Nian stared at her coldly. Her tone was mysterious but carried a soul - capturing aura: "You shouldn't have set your sights on him. He's not someone you can covet."
Feng Chengyuan was taken aback. He looked at Yu Nian in surprise, and there seemed to be a glimmer of light in his eyes.
This was the first time he had heard a possessive tone in Yu Nian's words.
The ghost bride scanned Yu Nian up and down with cold eyes for a moment, then laughed out of extreme anger: "Bah! Who do you think you are? What right do you have to speak on his behalf? Is he your private property?"
Feng Chengyuan originally wanted to say something, but after hearing the ghost bride's words, he kept silent. He looked at Yu Nian sideways, his eyes filled with expectation.
Yu Nian frowned and remained silent for a while, then only said one sentence.
"He's mine."
The ghost bride scoffed even more: "You say so and it's true? Why don't you even ask if he agrees!"
Feng Chengyuan, who was standing behind Yu Nian, suddenly smiled with his eyes bent. The smile was so charming that the ghost bride was stunned for a while.
Feng Chengyuan's deep voice clearly reached the ears of Yu Nian and the ghost bride.
"I agree. I'm Yu Nian's, that's right."
The ghost bride: ...
Yu Nian's eyelashes trembled. The long - missing part in her heart was filled at this moment. She raised her eyebrows and looked at the ghost bride: "Did you hear that? Why don't you leave?"
The ghost bride was at a loss for words. Then, as if stimulated by something, she suddenly let out a shrill scream.
Her eye sockets were extremely blood - red. She tightly grabbed her own hair, and hairpins and jewels scattered all over the ground.
"You're lying! Feng Lang will only love me. He told me to wait for him, and I've waited for more than two hundred years! Two hundred years! Do you know how many days and nights that is? I gave up the chance of reincarnation again and again for him. He won't deceive me, he won't!!"
Her scream was almost ear - splitting. Her rotten hands tightly covered her face as she roared in despair.
The next second, the ghost bride's hair poured down like a waterfall. In the blink of an eye, it spread to Yu Nian and Feng Chengyuan's feet and tightly wrapped around their ankles.
At the same time, a strange red light glowed around the ghost bride. In an instant, dozens of ghost brides exactly like her appeared beside her.
The scarlet - dressed brides formed a circle and stretched out their arms to strangle Yu Nian.
Their fingers were red, and their fingernails were long and sharp. Every move was extremely vicious, and the stench wafted towards Yu Nian's face!
Yu Nian wasn't panicked at all. She just slightly raised her eyebrows and said, "Illusion?"
She nimbly dodged the attacks of the two brides in the front, then quickly made a hand seal and cut off the long hair tied around her and Feng Chengyuan's ankles.
With a flip of Yu Nian's wrist, a red string flew out and nimbly tied several of the ghost bride's clones together.
When Yu Nian bit her finger and a drop of blood splashed on the clones of the ghost bride, there was a soft "hiss" sound, and the clones disappeared without a trace.
The ghost bride hid behind the clones and watched Yu Nian's actions in horror.
Her illusion was extremely profound. How on earth did this young celestial master discover her real body?
Yu Nian quickly eliminated the clones. She nimbly flashed to the ghost bride's side. With a slight hook of her finger, the red string flew towards the ghost bride as if it were alive.
The ghost bride waved her arms desperately, trying to cut off the red string, but the string was too fast. It fell on her like a shower of flowers.
"What the hell is this?"
The ghost bride finally understood what it meant by "unable to cut it off, and even more difficult to sort it out."
The ghost bride was tied up by the red string and slumped to the ground dejectedly.
Her bright red wedding dress was spread out on the ground, like a blooming blood - red flower.
The ghost bride's eyes gradually regained clarity. The otherworldly flowers beside her fluttered in the wind, and the petals occasionally brushed against her withered hand, as if in comfort.
She suddenly began to cry, shedding two lines of blood - tears, and murmured, "Why haven't you come yet? Why? I'm not afraid of waiting. I'm just afraid I won't be able to wait for you..."
Yu Nian let out a soft sigh. She turned to look at Feng Chengyuan's injured arm.
He was in a spiritual state at the moment. There was no blood on his arm, but wisps of black evil energy were constantly overflowing.
Yu Nian suddenly felt a twinge of heartache and asked in a low voice, "Does it hurt?"
Seeing Yu Nian's expression, Feng Chengyuan swallowed the words "It's okay" that were about to come out. He frowned slightly. Coupled with his pale face, he looked a bit haggard.
"... It actually hurts a bit."
The ghost bride beside them: ???
She felt that she had inexplicably taken the blame. She waved her hand and said, "I didn't even use much strength! Don't listen to this scheming man's nonsense! If you had asked him a little later, this wound would have almost healed!"
"Shut up," Yu Nian said, turning her head.
The ghost bride shrank back. Knowing she was in the wrong, she closed her mouth awkwardly, and in her heart, she really wanted to beat up Feng Chengyuan, who was standing not far away with a smiling and teasing look.
Yu Nian carefully placed her hand on Feng Chengyuan's wound. After silently chanting a few incantations, the wound gradually healed.
Feng Chengyuan smiled even more brightly: "Nian Nian is really amazing."
Yu Nian was a bit embarrassed by the praise. She coughed softly: "It's nothing... It's a pity that Jiang Li got away, and the clues are broken."
What Jiang Li was holding in his hand was not a spiritual jade at all, but a Yin - walking token.
Yu Nian knew that Jiang Li was good at scheming. She had originally wanted to lure the snake out of its hole, but unexpectedly, Jiang Li was kidnapped by a mysterious person, and he even set a trap for them before leaving.
Feng Chengyuan looked at Yu Nian seriously for a while, then suddenly reached out and gently stroked her head to comfort her.
"It doesn't matter. Nian Nian will definitely achieve what she wants to do. I believe everything will become clear."
Yu Nian blinked her eyes. Her originally somewhat depressed mood gradually eased.
Just as she was about to take Feng Chengyuan away, she heard a low shout in the distance.
"Who's there? Who gave you permission to cause trouble here!"
