Marry the NPC with Money, Wife Comes Knocking - Chapter 142

Chapter 142

Ye Susheng’s eyes were empty. Hua Suihe ran up to her, but she didn’t dare hug her right away, terrified that touching the wounds on her body would hurt her.

Heartache welled up into tears. This was the first time Hua Suihe had cried before Ye Susheng. Choking back sobs, she raised both hands and gently cupped Ye Susheng’s face, rubbing at the dried blood on her cheeks with the pads of her fingers.

Ye Susheng closed her mouth and stopped speaking, but her body showed no reaction at all. The black mist was already influenced by its host’s emotions, and with Ye Susheng’s killing intent so intense right now, the black mist didn’t dare coil around Hua Suihe. It was afraid that murderous aura would cling to Hua Hua.

So the black mist timidly shrank back into its host, afraid it might accidentally hurt Hua Hua.

Ye Susheng’s hand suddenly emptied as her weapon vanished. Her fingertips trembled. Her blood-crusted lashes fluttered up and down, but her eyes were entirely red, without any whites or pupils, and it was impossible to tell whether her gaze had focused on Hua Suihe at all.

Hua Suihe slid one hand to the back of her neck and could clearly feel her body shaking. Her other hand moved down, taking Ye Susheng’s hand and lifting it, guiding Ye Susheng’s fingers to touch Hua Suihe’s face.

Hua Hua sniffled. “Smart Ye Zi found Hua Hua. I’m right here. I wasn’t in danger, and I didn’t get hurt.”

Hua Suihe’s words seemed to touch some nerve in her. At last, Ye Susheng reacted a little. She could speak again. “Hua Hua, Hua Hua, Hua Hua…”

Hua Suihe stared tightly into her eyes through her tears. “Yes, it’s Hua Hua. You found Hua Hua.”

“Hua Hua hug. Want Hua Hua to hug me…” Ye Susheng’s hoarse voice was full of suppressed emotion. Two lines of bloody tears ran over the tear tracks that had not been wiped clean. She said she wanted a hug, yet lowered her head and clawed hard at her own body. In the brief moment Hua Suihe wasn’t watching, she scratched two bloody marks into herself.

Hua Suihe was terrified. She hurriedly grabbed Ye Susheng’s self-harming hand and wrapped her arm around her waist. She didn’t dare use too much strength, only gently resting her chin on Ye Susheng’s shoulder. “I’ll hug you, I’ll hug you. Don’t hurt yourself. Once I hold you for a while, it won’t feel so bad anymore.”

Ye Susheng’s entire being seemed dull and delayed, until Hua Suihe leaned against her shoulder and Hua Hua’s scent filled her nose. Then she suddenly pulled Hua Suihe tightly into her arms. Her grip was so strong that the shields in Hua Suihe’s backpack automatically activated, and two of them shattered.

“Hua Hua, Hua Hua hug…” Ye Susheng had cried for too long. Her choked voice sounded like an abandoned, wounded little beast, and after she finished speaking, she still whimpered softly.

“I’m hugging you. Don’t cry, okay? Don’t cry.” Hua Suihe coaxed her aloud, though her own tears wouldn’t stop either.

She had truly never seen Ye Susheng in such a wretched state. It left a brand on her heart, the kind that made her nose sting with sorrow from just glimpsing one corner of it.

They held each other for a long time. The black mist had long since raised a protective barrier on its own. Above them, irritating human technology hovered in a circle, throwing shells and trash at them.

Ye Susheng’s emotions still had not fully stabilized, and there was no sign that her body affected by Anomalization was returning to normal. Those ordinary shells couldn’t hurt her, but like mosquitoes buzzing back and forth, they were distracting-and increasingly annoying.

Seeing Ye Susheng gradually grow agitated, Hua Suihe rubbed her cheek against hers, signaling that she wanted a kiss.

Ye Susheng froze for a moment, then shyly pressed her lips together. It wasn’t because she was embarrassed about kissing. It was because, in that very moment, she finally realized she was filthy.

But her emotions were out of control today. Right now, she didn’t even have the refresh ability needed to change herself into clean clothes, and she was a little afraid of dirtying Hua Hua.

Hua Suihe proved through action that kissing wouldn’t dirty anything.

This operation had been advocated by Dr. Quan of the Thriller Research Agency. The goal of this operation was to capture Hua Suihe.
Naturally, ordinary shells couldn’t kill Ye Susheng. The bombs were being dropped only to provoke her. She looked emotionally unstable, and as long as she flew into a rage and lost her reason again, there would be a chance to snatch Hua Suihe away.

If not for the fact that players couldn’t be forcibly taken away from within the Safe Zone, they wouldn’t have had to go to all this trouble.

But if they could take Hua Suihe right in front of Ye Susheng, with a hostage in hand, then given how hopelessly love-addled Ye Susheng was, even the Strongest Anomaly would be at their mercy.

Unfortunately, this step was extremely difficult to execute. Because Pei Ying had not reported the information upward at once, the Doctor’s operation had been delayed by one step. They had failed to capture Hua Suihe before she reunited with Ye Susheng, missing the best opportunity.

And now, after the shells had been pounding downward for ages, that pitch-black mass still hadn’t reacted at all.

[black mist passive skill-Impregnable.]

[Don’t even think about interrupting the lovebirds while they’re making out.]

[Why haven’t the signs of Ye Susheng’s Anomalization faded yet? Didn’t she used to go back to normal after a little touching?]

[She went completely berserk this time. Probably harder to coax.]

[So is this dungeon over? It looks like Ye Susheng already cleared the field.]

Their all-consuming kiss was finally about to end. Ye Susheng rubbed the tip of her nose against Hua Suihe’s cheek, the gesture intimate and lingering.

“Hua Hua, home. Take Hua Hua home.”

Ye Susheng teleported with Hua Suihe. This time, the situation from the desert dungeon-where she went home by herself and left Hua Hua behind-did not happen again. She brought Hua Suihe home with ease.

Perhaps because the mission to protect the Safe Zone in the dungeon had been completed, this dungeon ended along with it…

[Ah Ye? This is my first time seeing Ye-Hua’s home.]

[So novel. They’re already home, so the dungeon should be over, right?]

[But doesn’t the livestream perspective only appear inside a dungeon?]

[Could it be a bug?]

[Wow, the interior layout is so pretty. The color scheme is super girly, and just looking at it makes me happy. Screenshotting this. When I buy a house, I’m doing it like this too.]

Noticing that the livestream still had not shut down, Hua Suihe took back what she had just thought. On top of that, there had been no System announcement saying they had successfully cleared the dungeon. The dungeon was not over yet.

Still, being able to come home today felt rather novel.

Ye Susheng set Hua Suihe down on the sofa. Black Cotton Candy pulled all the curtains shut, spread outward from beneath Ye Susheng’s feet, covered the entire floor, then crawled up the walls, and finally occupied the whole ceiling as well.

The red markings on Ye Susheng’s body were clearly visible, and her eyes remained a crimson red. She crouched in front of the sofa, staring at Hua Suihe without blinking.

Under the light, Hua Hua’s gaze landed on her filthy appearance. She hurriedly stood up, took Ye Susheng’s hand, and led her toward the bathroom in the bedroom.

“Come here. Let me see where you’re hurt.”

Ye Susheng did not resist either. She followed Hua Suihe into the bathroom.

Hua Suihe filled the bathtub, then went back out and brought in the first-aid kit and pajamas together.

And no matter what Hua Suihe did, Ye Susheng followed her every step of the way.

She stared at Hua Suihe’s back. In her mind, she once again saw Hua Suihe floating lifelessly on the sea, her face pale and drained of all vitality. The red markings on Ye Susheng’s body grew even brighter.

Hua Hua…

She was going to clean out every Anomaly in every dungeon, cause the dungeons to malfunction, and weaken Thriller’s power. At the same time, she would make sure Hua Hua would never again be forced into any dungeon.

She would stay with Hua Hua forever.

Build high walls, and keep Hua Hua safe within them.
