The Bride of The Mysterious Ghost King - Chapter 5

“You don’t want to look at me? Am I not handsome, wife?” he asked softly, with a wicked charm on his face.

“You are handsome,” I muttered, blushing, in my heart. It’s precisely because you’re too handsome that I can’t look at you! What good is being handsome when you’re a ghost!

He walked over and turned my face, forcing me to look at him.

I glanced below this ghost’s chest, and around his waist and abdomen, there was a circle of exquisite patterns, similar to a tattoo.

“Take it off,” he commanded me again.

I shook my head. This man is truly shameless. “Don’t you have hands yourself?”

“I cannot undo this seal,” he said, looking at me seriously, his eyes very bright.

“I can’t either. You’re so powerful, and you can’t undo it?” I looked at him suspiciously. How could a mortal like me undo a seal? If I could, I’d be an immortal by now.

But I saw him confidently nod at me.

I was extremely reluctant, but I finally lowered my head, preparing to touch this male ghost! Because if I undid the seal, I could leave!

Oh! Wait, I’ve already touched his chest. I didn’t see the seal being undone before?

Could it be that I need to touch that pattern? I tried to touch it, very carefully.

When I touched the pattern, a ray of light slowly emanated from the center of the design. My heart felt uneasy as I looked at the characters surrounded by white light, and my fingers couldn’t help but tremble.

He grabbed my hand, as if to stop me.

I looked at him in alarm with a look that clearly said, You’re the one who told me to take it off. He seemed to realize his mistake and let go of my hand again. At this moment, I felt his ice-cold body trembling.

“Will it hurt?” I asked him. I sensed he was enduring a pain he had never experienced before.

He pulled down the corners of his mouth and didn’t even look at me. “Continue.”

I felt a little unwilling to see him in such pain, but I couldn’t give up halfway, so I pulled harder, and that pattern actually flashed and disappeared!

So magical, so strange. What is going on? If I hadn’t experienced it myself, I would really find it hard to believe that what is happening now is real!

“Can I leave now?” I said with a sigh of relief. I felt like I was becoming abnormal just being with him.

“Not yet,” he said flatly.

I became anxious, my brows furrowed. “Didn’t you say I could leave once the seal was undone?” How can this person go back on his word? My heart filled with resentment. But since he was so powerful, I had no choice!

“I need to dig out a box and retrieve the key inside it before the seal can be completely broken,” he stated lightly. Hearing this made my scalp tingle.

“Dig?” A terrible premonition suddenly came over me, and a chill crawled up my spine. “You’re not going to ask me to accompany you to some desolate mountain or wilderness, are you?”

He nodded. “Precisely.”
