Marry the NPC with Money, Wife Comes Knocking - Chapter 93

Chapter 93

Ye Susheng’s red lips trembled slightly. She pressed them together tightly, refusing to open her mouth, and shook her head repeatedly, indicating she wouldn’t show her.

If Hua Hua saw it and got scared, she wouldn’t want to kiss her anymore.

Having weighed the stakes, Ye Susheng became even more determined not to reveal her massive maw. She even told a straight-faced lie: “I didn’t. My mouth is very small. I wasn’t the one biting Hua Hua’s neck just now; that was all Black Cotton Candy.”

To prove she had a small mouth, Ye Susheng took Hua Suihe’s right thumb-which was resting against the corner of her lips-into her mouth, sucked on it twice, and then let go.

Hua Suihe was nearly overwhelmed by how cute this gesture was. She followed the lead to give her an out. “Right, Ye Susheng has a small mouth. That was all Black Cotton Candy just now.”

Surveillance cameras from the production crew were installed throughout the haunted house, and the livestream was running in sync.

The camera had been tracking Ye Susheng the entire time; wherever she appeared, the livestream followed.

Consequently, the audience in the livestream chat had been watching Ye Susheng’s bloodletting and harvesting of players for a long time. The scene was so bloody that the viewers kept posting prayer emojis, and no one dared to condemn her.

There was a saying on the internet: if you flame Ye Susheng too much, you’re liable to be snatched up and turned into a player.

The netizens who had been clamoring about finally discovering Ye Susheng’s beauty were completely humbled after today’s events.

They had mistakenly thought that Ye Susheng had become kind and approachable because she was in a relationship. In reality, Ye Susheng was still the same Ye Susheng-a player’s nightmare.

[The scene before us and the screen full of severed heads from a moment ago feel so jarringly disconnected…]

[Ye Susheng is still in her Anomalization state. How can Peanut even hold her? Is she sure she’s human?]

[I really can’t appreciate their romance, but I have to admit, it would be for the best if Ye Susheng stayed tethered to Peanut’s side forever.]

[I seriously wonder if something is wrong with Hua Suihe’s head. Doesn’t she find all this terrifying?]

[I don’t believe anyone is so ‘sweet and innocent’ that they’d be completely oblivious to everything happening. To the players who have been in dungeons: is it really possible to know nothing when you’re actually in the middle of it?]

[That smell of blood is enough to choke a person. There’s no way she doesn’t know.]

[How many players are left?]

[There are still over twenty on the Online Player Ranking. The dungeon’s built-in livestream perspective is still broadcasting.]

The parties involved were completely unaware of the netizens’ discussions, and of course, they wouldn’t have cared anyway.

Hua Suihe ran her hand over the red patterns on Ye Susheng’s arm. The skin felt smooth to the touch, but her fingertips hit something sticky. Withdrawing her hand to look closely, she realized it was blood that hadn’t yet congealed.

Her expression suddenly turned serious. She continued to feel along Ye Susheng’s forearm, lifting her hand to check for any injuries.

Feeling her touch the residual blood, Ye Susheng immediately felt guilty. She struggled to pull her hand back and hide it behind her back. “I’m fine, Hua Hua. I’m not hurt.”

That was all the players’ blood. She hadn’t cleaned it up properly and let Hua Hua see it.

“You’re really not hurt?”

Ye Susheng shook her head honestly.

Hua Suihe pulled a tissue from her pocket to wipe the blood from her own fingertips before saying to Ye Susheng, “Give me your hand. I’ll wipe it clean for you.”

Ye Susheng lowered her eyes, acting bashful and hesitant for a long while before finally offering her hand. Her heart remained restless with anxiety, worried that Hua Hua would ask her questions that were difficult to answer.

In reality, however, Hua Suihe simply wiped the blood away with gentle movements without asking anything else. Once finished, she crumpled the tissue into a ball and stuffed it into her pocket.

After that, Hua Suihe removed the White Rose Hairpin pinned to Ye Susheng’s head. The white rose petals were splattered with a few drops of blood.

Ye Susheng reacted quickly, snatching the hairpin back and crushing it into powder with a firm squeeze. She feigned innocence. “The hairpin broke.”
Hua Suihe raised an eyebrow with an unreadable expression, then nodded with a smile. “Alright, are you done with your work now?”

“The air in here isn’t great, and I’d like to head out. If you’re finished, why don’t you help me find the exit?”

“Of course! I’m not busy anymore, all done~” Ye Susheng circled to her side and looped an arm through hers. “I’ll take Hua Hua to find it.”

[I just love watching them interact. Our Hua Hua closing her eyes and covering her ears, just choosing to love Ye Susheng, is too cute.]

[Hua Hua: Nothing to ask, the air’s just bad, it’ll be fine once we’re out.]

[This is the first time I’ve felt like Ye Susheng actually looks like a ghost. Even through the screen, it’s a bit chilling. Is Hua Hua not scared at all?]

[What do you know? Hua Hua is a total romantic.]

[Just now, Ye Susheng’s mouth was open so wide I thought she could swallow Hua Hua whole.]

[Ye Susheng is always saying how good Hua Hua smells. She wouldn’t actually want to eat her, would she? You can’t swallow her!]

With Ye Susheng leading the way, they quickly found the exit-an ordinary-looking wall that, when pushed, revealed a black screen. Stepping through it led back to the world outside the haunted house.

Finally able to breathe fresh air, Hua Suihe’s slightly furrowed brow finally relaxed.

The show’s staff were all waiting outside. Seeing Ye Susheng follow Hua Suihe out, they greeted them with extreme caution before clutching their monitors and scurrying away to maintain a safe distance.

Though they were all Anomalies, their levels differed. Ye Susheng had not yet returned to her normal state, and her murderous intent was still heavy. It was best to stay as far away as possible.

Hua Suihe nudged her with an elbow, asking curiously, “Did you scare them off?”

Ye Susheng cared deeply about her appearance in front of Hua Suihe. “It wasn’t me. They wanted to leave on their own.”

Hua Suihe smiled but said nothing, leading her toward the designated rest area. At this time, they were the only two who had made it out.

Ye Susheng took the initiative to pour some hot water for Hua Hua to drink. As she moved back and forth, the red patterns on her body gradually faded before disappearing beneath her skin, restoring her complexion to its ivory-smooth state.

Sitting in her chair, Hua Suihe still felt as though a scent of blood was clinging to her. She checked her clothes and finally realized it was coming from her shoes.

Recalling the liquid she had stepped on inside the haunted house, Hua Suihe felt a wave of revulsion toward her footwear. When Ye Susheng returned, she saw Hua Hua disdainfully kicking off her shoes, not even wanting to touch them with her hands.

Ye Susheng placed the cup on the table beside her. “Why did you take off your shoes, Hua Hua?”

“The shoes are dirty. Is there a restroom nearby? I’ll go wash them.”

“I’ll go get shoes for Hua Hua.”

Ye Susheng vanished on the spot. She returned a moment later carrying a pair of new sneakers. Only after helping Hua Suihe change into them did she take the old pair and throw them away.

Since they were stained with filth, it was better to just toss them.

With plenty of time to spare, Ye Susheng brought over a variety of fruits and desserts, accompanying Hua Suihe as they waited for the next segment of the show.

After a long while, others finally began to trickle back.

However, none of them were in good shape. Their clothes were dirty and disheveled, leaving them looking utterly pathetic. When they saw Ye Susheng’s leisurely figure in the rest area from a distance, every single one of them stopped in their tracks.

They didn’t want to see her. Even if she looked normal now, they didn’t dare approach.

Each person sat directly on the ground about a hundred meters away from the rest area, having no energy left to care about their image.

Once all the surviving players had emerged, the NPC actors finally came out of the haunted house together. By then, they had all returned to their normal human appearances.

There were twenty players remaining, and sixty NPC actors left.
