Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Yun Zhenyue’s Identity Exposed, Is She That Lord’s Wife?

Yun Zhenyue wanted to go and ask.

Ask that lord if he knew Gu Yuan.

However, when she entered the cursed painting again,

she found that the pile of miscellaneous items and the small room were gone.

It seemed the painting’s connection had been severed.

Now, it could only be used for storage.

Seeing this,

the Dragon Country audience was shocked, but also felt it was a shame.

[Gu Yuan likes to play games, and the one who cured Mr. Luo also likes to play games. Don’t tell me playing games helps ghosts get stronger?]

[Is it possible they’re so strong that they get bored, so they play games to kill time?]

[That move was terrifying. He plucked out the venomous creature just like that.]

[I thought we were about to see a heart-wrenching parting, but this is it?]

[In the eyes of a being like that, a top-tier Evil Star’s venomous creature is really no different from an ant.]

...

At this moment,

Mr. Luo spoke up to thank her. "Thank you, Miss Yun, for helping cure my illness."

"Huh?"

Yun Zhenyue froze for a moment, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

She took out the medal.

She explained that her name wasn’t Miss Yun—that was just what Luo Huan liked to call her. She also mentioned that the medal was a gift from her husband and that since Mr. Luo was her elder, he could just call her Xiaoyue.

But unexpectedly!

The moment he saw the board of directors’ medal!

Mr. Luo’s mind went blank!

"This is... the chairman’s medal?"

He froze on the spot, as if struck by lightning!

His pupils shrank to the size of pinpricks, and his shock etched fine lines into the corners of his eyes!

He had given this medal to that lord.

Mr. Luo finally understood!

’Why Yun Zhenyue, a mere human, possessed the power to break through his defenses!’

’Why she could smoothly enter the cursed painting and let that lord fulfill his wish!’

’So that lord is actually her husband?’

’What a huge detour!’

’It didn’t have to be this complicated at all!’

"So that’s how it is..." Mr. Luo sighed. "No wonder."

Seeing Mr. Luo’s shocked expression, Luo Huan, who was standing at the side, suddenly realized something.

A terrifying thought struck her!

Her almond-shaped eyes widened, and she bit down hard on her rosy lips. Her mouth opened slightly, but no sound came out, revealing a sliver of her pearly white teeth.

Luo Huan had guessed before.

The person who gave her the little cat pendant might be Yun Zhenyue’s husband.

But she didn’t know...

...that he was the legendary Mr. Gu!

Then she suddenly remembered.

Yun Zhenyue had said her husband was very strong, and it seemed she was also borrowing his power.

’So, is it possible...’

’...that Yun Zhenyue’s husband is Mr. Gu?’

’That’s why...’

’...Yun Zhenyue was able to answer all the questions about Mr. Gu correctly.’

At the same time, Luo Huan also figured it out.

Mr. Gu seemed to be hiding his identity, which was why he hadn’t met with them just now.

’What is this?’

’Some kind of little game between a husband and wife?’

’So am I just a pawn in their little game?’

"...Is she?"

Luo Huan looked at Mr. Luo and murmured softly.

He nodded silently, confirming her suspicions.

"What’s wrong?"

Yun Zhenyue looked completely bewildered, unable to make heads or tails of the situation.

Luo Huan gave her a thumbs-up. "Miss Yun, if I’d known you were such a badass, I would’ve told you my identity from the start."

"..."

Yun Zhenyue felt helpless. Luo Huan was still spouting nonsense at a time like this.

But what needed to be done was done.

It was time to part ways.

Yun Zhenyue took out her phone to exchange contact info with Luo Huan, but when she saw the other girl’s envious gaze, she suddenly remembered that Luo Huan wasn’t Mrs. Yan—she didn’t have a phone.

For a moment, Yun Zhenyue stood there, embarrassed.

"Miss Yun..." Luo Huan said resentfully.

"It’s alright. When I get back, I’ll ask my husband if he has a spare phone he isn’t using. I’ll bring it to you then."

"Really?!"

Luo Huan’s eyes lit up!

She was really envious of Yun Zhenyue’s tri-fold phone!

"I’ll pay for it! I’ll buy it no matter how many ghost coins it costs!"

"From now on, if you ever want to show off, just give me a call, and I’ll come running no matter what!"

"Ahem~"

Mr. Luo coughed lightly from the side, correcting his daughter’s crude remarks.

"By the way, Xiaoyue..."

"Hm?"

Hearing Mr. Luo’s words, Yun Zhenyue looked up.

But his next sentence...

...left her stunned.

"Would you like to be the principal?" Mr. Luo asked earnestly.

"Principal? Me?"

Yun Zhenyue’s eyes widened in disbelief.

’I’m just a university student in the real world!’

’Although, judging by the time that’s passed, I should have graduated by now.’

’But no matter how you look at it, jumping straight to principal is too drastic a change in status!’

"You must be joking. I can’t do it," Yun Zhenyue said, trying to decline.

...

Hearing this, the foreign audience’s heads ached with envy and jealousy!

They had already seen Yun Zhenyue do whatever she wanted in the school!

She was practically the local tyrant!

And now it’s for real?

They’re really giving her the chance to be the principal?

And the key thing is, she’s refusing!

This is Chilling Middle School! With Mr. Luo there, it’s considered a top-tier SS-rank dungeon!

The benefits of becoming the principal of this school are countless!

Just to name one!

If you run into danger, you just have to call for help, and the entire school’s faculty and student body will mobilize!

What dungeon’s ghosts wouldn’t be scared out of their wits and run with their tails between their legs?

[Aish, if she doesn’t want to be principal, let Han Sumei do it!]

[Our contestants are having such a hard time just being students, and she’s off becoming a principal?]

[It’s all Gu Yuan’s fault, giving her that Love Contract!]

[Sigh, I understand Gu Yuan less and less. What is his identity, really?]

[If only Gu Yuan would take a liking to a woman from our country.]

...

Mr. Luo saw Yun Zhenyue’s potential.

’This is that lord’s wife!’

’Even though she doesn’t know his identity yet.’

’You can tell from the things she carries that he dotes on her.’

’Making sure Luo Huan and Yun Zhenyue have a good relationship...’

’...is ten thousand times more important than Chilling Middle School itself!’

At Mr. Luo’s repeated insistence, saying that if she became principal, he could peacefully spend his time with Luo Huan, and also saying that the position of principal should go to the most capable person, Yun Zhenyue had no choice.

She could only agree to Mr. Luo’s request.

However, she still made a demand.

She couldn’t be the Head Principal!

She still had to do missions and take care of her family, so she didn’t have that much time to manage Chilling Middle School.

Vice-principal was the most she could do.

...

Just as Yun Zhenyue nodded in agreement,

all the Dragon Country players in the Ghost World heard a notification!

[Ding! It has been detected that Yun Zhenyue has become Vice-Principal. Chilling Middle School is now a Dragon Country-friendly dungeon!]

[All Dragon Country players may enter Chilling Middle School to study, with all tuition and fees waived!]

[Those who possess an identity within Chilling Middle School may henceforth choose to enter Chilling Middle School directly!]

In that instant,

countless Dragon Country citizens lingering in the Ghost World were shaken.

This was the second friendly dungeon to establish a relationship with Dragon Country.

It gave them more opportunities to survive.

「At the magnificent Blood Moon Hotel.」

Lin Jiu was training a new waitress from Dragon Country.

Thanks to her relationship with Yun Zhenyue,

she was now the vice-manager of the hotel.

The waitress suddenly gasped. "Dragon Country has a second friendly dungeon?"

"Who is Vice-Principal Yun Zhenyue? We have a god-tier player like that in Dragon Country?"

"Yun Zhenyue?"

Hearing the name, Lin Jiu’s heart trembled.

She had heard the system notification.

’That underclassman from before is now a vice-principal?’

With a complex look in her eyes, she said, "She... is the owner of this very hotel."

"Ah, she’s that powerful!" The new waitress was dumbfounded.

...

Meanwhile.

「Reincarnation Hospital.」

Shangguan Mu, Mr. Sun, and other Dragon Country players were sitting in a conference room.

They were discussing how to treat a ghostly patient.

In the time since Yun Zhenyue had left,

they had all become official ghost doctors.

Mrs. Yan treated them very well.

They no longer had to scurry and hide like rats just for a bite to eat.

Many people from Dragon Country had made a special trip here after hearing that Reincarnation Hospital had become a friendly dungeon.

Reincarnation Hospital...

...had become a sanctuary for the people of Dragon Country.

The newly arrived Dragon Country players were grateful to have such a safe place.

Whenever this happened,

Sun would proudly introduce Yun Zhenyue to them.

He would also claim that he used to be a "Panda Homelander"!

Not even the ghostly vice-director was his match!

The new players would hear this and laugh, saying Sun was just bragging.

But they were very curious about this Yun Zhenyue.

Now,

hearing news of Yun Zhenyue again,

they were all stunned silent for a long time.

"Chilling Middle School... that’s an SS-rank dungeon too, right? It seems even tougher than Reincarnation Hospital."

Sun murmured in amazement.

"As expected of her!" Shangguan Mu gave a thumbs-up.

"I saw it long ago! She has the potential to be a principal!"

Ranran, who was flipping through a book at the side, said softly, "Big Sister was always an incredible person."

In that moment!

All the Dragon Country citizens in every dungeon were shocked!

They felt an ever-increasing pride in being from Dragon Country.

...

「At the same time.」

Yun Zhenyue returned to Wansheng District.

She barely had time to steady herself

when a notification from the Marriage System arrived.

[Ding! Your mission is complete!]

[As you achieved a perfect score on the monthly exam, you have perfectly completed the marriage mission!]

[Congratulations on receiving your reward: Draw one random skill!]

[The Marriage System has excluded all skills below Master-rank for you!]
