Chapter 88: Chapter 88: There’s Another Drawer? Studies at Chilling Middle School Begin

Seeing Yun Zhenyue make her choice,

the Dragon Country audience was dumbfounded.

Are you serious, sis?

What kind of Love Contract is this? It has a one-year cooldown after a single use?

It would be one thing if you could borrow all of your partner’s power!

That would undoubtedly be a top-tier skill!

But only 1%???

What the hell is the use of that!

Even for an Evil Star, 1% of their power is probably only at the level of a Fierce Ghost, right?

What’s more, even before Gu Yuan was seriously injured, he was only a top-tier Crimson-robed Ghost. 1% of his power would be about the level of a resentful spirit. Now that he’s injured, borrowing his power might only grant you the strength of a Residual Soul or a Ghost!

With that little power, she would have been better off picking a skill that could save her life.

[Our boss is so confused! No matter how in love you are, you can’t let it go to your head!]

[Don’t tell me Yun Zhenyue chose this skill card just because it looks pretty?]

[That’s possible. *facepalm* She’s completely love-struck.]

[Holy 520, she picked it because of the number!]

[Out of these hundreds of skill cards, there were so many stronger ones. Why did she pick one that’s below average?]

...

[Ding! A skill card for your marriage partner has been detected!]

[Would you like to learn this skill?]

As Yun Zhenyue clutched the Love Contract skill card,

she chose to learn it without a moment’s hesitation.

The next moment,

a peculiar feeling blossomed in her heart.

It was as if an invisible link had formed between her and Gu Yuan.

As long as she requested to borrow his power, the other end of the link would be able to respond.

This was a pleasant surprise for Yun Zhenyue!

At this moment, she reluctantly closed the drawer.

She had now explored all three drawers.

How should she put it?

Every time she returned from a mission, Gu Yuan would give her things from the drawers.

These various items always gave Yun Zhenyue a huge surprise, like a small treasure trove!

She always looked forward to it with great anticipation!

It was just a pity...

The next time she came back, that sense of anticipation would be gone.

But Yun Zhenyue wasn’t disappointed. The contents of these three drawers were more than enough; other marriage candidates would fight tooth and nail and might not even get a single one of these items!

She was already super lucky to have a husband as mysterious and generous as Gu Yuan!

"What’s wrong?"

"You look a little conflicted."

Gu Yuan said slowly with a light chuckle.

Compared to Lily, who slept in every day, he felt Yun Zhenyue was more like a cat, constantly exploring the house and searching for traces of "cat food" and "freeze-dried treats."

"Next time you finish a mission, you can open the drawers on this side."

Huh?

’There are more drawers?’

Yun Zhenyue turned her head in a daze and looked at the other side of the bedroom.

She saw that Gu Yuan was pointing to the side near his headboard.

There was an identical nightstand there!

After all, those things usually came in pairs; it was normal to have one on each side of a large bed.

Yun Zhenyue’s lips parted slightly, her eyes wide with astonishment.

"The drawers on your side are filled with little trinkets I have no use for."

"You haven’t seen what’s inside the cabinet on my side, have you?"

"Those things are precious, even to me."

...

At this moment, the foreign audience was completely numb!

You call property deeds, animal plushies, and all these skill cards useless little trinkets?

If anyone else had said that, they would have been flamed for flexing so hard!

But coming from Gu Yuan’s mouth, it felt completely natural!

He truly looked down on them!

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have just stuffed all these treasures in a drawer.

Except for the Great Cold Country, the Sun Country, and the Flower Flag Country,

the audiences from some other countries were green with envy!

There’s another drawer full of treasures!

Even if the quality is slightly lower!

That’s still two full drawers!

[So jealous! Even though Gu Yuan isn’t that strong right now, he has so many treasures!]

[Yeah, his foundation is too deep. Ghost Artifacts, connections, items, skills—he has everything.]

[And he’s such a good person. So what if he likes to play video games? A man who doesn’t smoke or drink, just plays some games, is a top-tier guy.]

[If we had known, our country should have chosen Gu Yuan.]

[I wonder what’s hidden in the drawers on his side.]

...

Chilling Middle School.

DRING DRING DRING~

A hurried ringing sounded from the rusted broadcast speaker.

This sound signified that class had begun.

At that moment, all the women were teleported into Chilling Middle School.

Every one of them was brimming with confidence.

Many had heard from their marriage partners that this school’s principal, Mr. Luo, was missing, and the dungeon that was supposed to be SS-rank was now of an unknown level.

The dungeon’s biggest Boss going missing was good news!

It meant they faced far less danger!

The women found themselves on the third-floor hallway of the school.

Chilling Middle School seemed to have been around for a long time; its decor looked quite dilapidated.

The hallway windows were stained a murky amber color from the erosion of wind and dust. The floor was stained with some kind of blood-red substance, and half of a faded disciplinary notice was stuck to the gray wall.

From the girls’ restroom not far away came the TICK TOCK sound of dripping water.

Just then, Han Sumei shot Yun Zhenyue an annoyed glance.

In her hand, she clutched the school board’s badge.

"Hmph~"

A shadow of gloom crossed Han Sumei’s eyes.

’This Yun Zhenyue has ruined me!’

’If she hadn’t refused to just lie down and die, would I have ended up in such a miserable state?’

Just as Han Sumei was pondering how to get revenge on Yun Zhenyue,

a strange gaze fell upon her.

It was none other than Megan from the Flower Flag Country.

However, Megan didn’t have such complex thoughts.

Known for being all bust and no brains, she was simply wondering where the secret treasure mentioned by Count Dracula could be hidden.

Not only that,

but before she left, Count Dracula had specifically instructed her.

He told her to probe Yun Zhenyue and, if possible, wheedle Gu Yuan’s secrets out of her.

"Hello, Han from the Great Cold Country. I wish to form an alliance with you."

Megan, with an arrogant expression, took a few steps and spoke condescendingly to the stunned Han Sumei.

Although she looked down on a schemer like Han Sumei,

she had to admit that for Han Sumei to court death so many times and still be alive, she must have some luck on her side.

Some dirty work was best left to the people of the Great Cold Country!

She, a person from the Flower Flag Country, was particularly concerned with saving face and disdained getting her own hands dirty.

"You? On what grounds?" Han Sumei asked, bewildered. Feeling Megan’s disdainful gaze, she grew a little annoyed.

’Besides, I have the school board’s badge. There’s no need for me to ally with anyone!’

"On the grounds that the Great Cold Country is the Flower Flag Country’s dog!"

Megan said with a cold snort.

"As the master, I have the right to order my dog to do anything."

"Shibal, you—"

Han Sumei gritted her teeth, a vein throbbing on her forehead. This insult showed a complete lack of regard for her.

But the thing was, what Megan said was the truth!

Lies don’t hurt people; the truth is what cuts deep!

In reality, the Great Cold Country really was the Flower Flag Country’s dog.

She was afraid that if she refused, the Great Cold Country would get a beating from the Flower Flag Country!

...

Seeing this,

the Dragon Country audience clicked their tongues in amazement.

[The mission hasn’t even started, and it’s already a dog-eat-dog situation?]

[Fight, fight! I love watching women fight.]

[What Megan said isn’t wrong. Isn’t the Great Cold Country just a dog?]

[So bold, arguing in Chilling Middle School. Aren’t they afraid of getting caught by the dean of students?]

[Wait, I hear footsteps. It can’t really be the dean, can it? Those two are in for it now!]
