Morning, at the space under the bridge, Master Yi and Master Ling opened their stalls as usual. Xue Hua drops by on his way to school and passes the breakfast he made from them. After asking about what happened to the Ghost Lady General, Xue Hua left for school.

After Xue Hua went home early yesterday, Master Yi and Master Ling had escorted the Ghost Lady General to the Wang Clan's Ancestral Mansion. The ancestral mansion had been abandoned for years and servants only came over and did some maintenance to keep the house existing. 

When the two great masters and the ghost lady general arrived, what welcomed them wasn't the usual empty abandoned old mansion the ordinary people could see. But a well-lit mansion but the light used isn't the modern pieces of equipment known to others but fire wisps and paper lanterns. While the mansion itself is filled with ghost servants running over the house to clean and serve food as if the daily scene before them is the same as before. 

The place is well maintained and most ancestors of the Wang live there together. After learning the reason for the arrival of Master Yi and Master Ling in their place those Ancestors Ghost of the Wang Family had all run out to look at the Ghost Lady General with a gentle yet interested and excited smile. There are also hints of teasing as most ghosts here were thousand years older than her. 

"Is this little tenth's wife?"

"Wow~ she looks not only beautiful but strong as little brother says~"

"Of course! Only our Wang descendant would be able to marry such a good girl!"

"What are you guys doing? Go call your tenth brother!"

"Tenth Brother!! Come out! Your wife is here to look for you~"

Commotions from far away followed with hurried footsteps can be heard all over the house. A scholarly man in white robes appeared before the courtyard with a bit of disheveled self from running over here.

"Wife? Where is my wife? Is she here for real?"

When the Ghost Lady General and the Scholarly Ghost saw each other tears would have fallen if they were alive but only their translucent figure ripples for a bit showing their intense emotions. The couple which was separated by an era finally met each other. There were twists here and there but in the end, they ended up being together. Like the vows of marriage they had exchanged when they were alive. To live and die together. Whether in hell or heaven we shall always be on the same side.

Since the person is found the Great Masters had helped those ghosts who wanted to enter reincarnation and let those who wished to stay, remain in the ancestral mansion. This was their home, they could stay here whether they are alive or dead.

Afterward, the masters resumed their daily lives of scheming those who aren't worth and helping those who have merits in exchange they accumulated good karma that might help them during their tribulation. Xue Hua's usual routine is the same as always but unfortunately, today didn't happen to be a good one like the other days as Lou Lan asked his clansmen to kidnapped him after school

---

In the Ancestral Palace within the mountain.

Once Xue Hua opens his eyes, he can feel the weakening of the body, the dizziness he is feeling, and the strolling blood on his head with pain all over his broken body. His current body seems to be suffering from immense blood loss and is about to die. He could feel the kicks on his battered body continuously falling on him. This startled Xue Hua and at the same time left him confused. But he immediately understood his current situation when he saw Lou Lan looking down on him from a distance. 

ARRGHS~

A voice of a young man was heard, "Enough. He's dying. Would the Ghost King even accept such a substitute for me?" It was Lou Lan who spoke.

"Young Master. It's not like the ghost king would know that our family sent a substitute. He didn't know what you look like anyway."

"True. Leave him in this haunted mansion. He will be the sacrificial bride for the ghost king instead. Let's leave."

The young master, Lou Lan said as they took their leave not even noticing that the said Ghost King was watching the whole thing from his throne. They are just unable to see him as they were ordinary people without sight.

GROANS~

A slight movement of his battered body gave Hei Anjing endless pain. 'Those bastards really kicked me hard. It hurts too much. I hate pain. This is very painful~'

Xue Hua's thoughts as he heard an unknown voice coming around him. He slowly opened his eyes and saw a glowing ball the size of a tennis ball. It was System Yue who panicked the moment he saw those stupid humans beating up Xue Hua. He and his Lord God were stunned by the event that they had forgotten to stop them from doing such a thing.

[Host Host! Please wake up! Your current body seems to be dying. I've already stopped the bleeding, but I couldn't compensate for its blood loss. I've redeemed a 5th Class Restoration Pill for the Host. Please eat it!!!]

Xue Hua, who thought he was delirious to hear someone's voice in his head said, "Who? Why could I hear your voice in my head? Argh~ My head is splitting, what the hell is wrong with me!?"

[Host, please bear it for a bit. I will explain everything after you heal your injuries.] 

System Yue put the Restoration Pill inside his Host's mouth which instantly melted and healed his battered body. His blood loss eased and returned to normal. His head stopped bleeding and the pain all over had subsided. After calming his breathing for a bit, Hei Anjing closed his eyes to rest for a few seconds and digest the unknown memories passed in his head.

[Xue Hua. Youngest Illegitimate Son of Lou Clan's current leader, Lou Ming. After being born with no Spiritual Qi he was deemed by the clan as Useless waste. Adding the fact that he is a son of a mistress, his own father treated him like an invisible person. With the exception of his Biological Elder Brother, no one in the clan cares for him. The Sole Scion of Lou Clan, Lou Lan, this world's Protagonist Shou was born with strong Spiritual Qi despite not having the talent of sight to see spiritual beings.

Because of his latent talent and pure bloodline, Lou Clan deemed him as their Scion. But the Xue Clan made a promise with the Ghost King of Hell, Xie Mo. The promise is to give him a Ghost Bride with the strongest talent of sight and spiritual qi in exchange for their clan's protection. The destined Ghost Bride to be is Xue Bing as he was the one born with the strongest spiritual qi in the clan, but the elders of the clan are not willing to sacrifice him. Instead chose a useless illegitimate child without any hints of Qi or talents. Not thinking about the consequences of angering a Strongest Ghost King that lived a Millenia.

Moreover, they've sent him a dying bride. Once the Ghost king noticed that his Sacrificial Bride is nothing but a waste, his anger flared and cast a deadly curse at the most important figure of the Lou Clan which is Lou Lan. The Ghost King ignored the dying figure of his sacrificial bride which is the end of Xue Hua's life.

  In the end, the Protagonist Shou meets his destined Savior, the Strongest Shaman, Feng Hou who moved the curse to someone else which saves Xue Bing's life. This Shaman was born with Heavenly sight. He can see through souls. Golden color souls were considered the purest soul that can exist. He saw hints of golden wisp around Xue Bing's soul and deemed him as the purest soul on the earth which in the end falling in love with each other. After defeating the Villain which is the Ghost King Xie Mo with the help of the Second Male Lead, a Fox Demigod who adores the Protagonist Shou, they were able to successfully seal the Hell's Ghost King.]

Xue Hua's reaction in confusion, he saw a summary of his life background which shocked him speechless.  "What the hell is this?!"

A glowing ball approached him discreetly yet he was able to capture it and glared at him. The pill that this glowing thing and forcefully fed him was so useful that the pain all over his body including his injuries had completely faded.

[H-Host....?]

Only then did System Yue remember that his host does not have his real memories in this world. But just the fact that Xue Hua could see him is already enough proof that this is indeed the vessel that house his host's memoryless soul.

"Who the fuck are you calling host? A mere ghost, what the hell did you do to me? Answer me or I'll smash you on the ground."

[I will explain everything. All of it, Host don't destroy Yue~ QAQ... QAQ...]

Tsk! Clicking his tongue in dissatisfaction, only then did Xue Hua look around the place. The place is huge, looking like an ancient Chinese mansion where nobles used to live. Without any source of light except for moonlight peeking through the slit of swaying curtains, Xue Hua massages his aching temple. Even ignoring the spiritual figure seated on the throne, observing his every action silently.

But his stares give hints of a dangerous feeling like an emperor looking down on his servants. Xue Hua ignored his stares like he didn't see him at all. According to the memories given to him, He used to be a useless Ghost Bride substitute and this Ghost King just watched him die. Xue Hua wandered his eyes around the place acting like he was looking all over the place in darkness like a blind fool, but he was only taking a sneak peek towards the arrogant figure seated on the throne at the center. He didn't even notice that his golden eyes glinted with silver when he met those dull grey eyes of the ghost king.

This man stares at him with indifferent dull grey eyes. Wearing an ancient robe worn by people of high standing, he could guess that this Ghost King was indeed someone with noble blood in his era which Xue Hua doesn't care about at all. 

"Who the hell is he? Another Ghost of Ancient Time?" murmured Xue Hua when he spotted Ye Xiajie from the distance and pretended to not see him the second.

[H-Host, even if you pretend you cannot see him. He knew that you could see me yourself.]

Hearing that the creepy evil entity knew he could see him according to this glowing ball, Xue Hua decided to forget, forcing the glowing ball to explain the current situation to him. He knew that he was kidnapped by that annoying half-brother of his and had his men beat him up and throw him in this Ancient Palace to marry a Ghost King. Fuck! Who the hell would want to marry a ghost king.

Ye Xiajie, the Ghost King was observing Xue Hua the moment his battered body covered in blood was dragged to his altar. At first sight, he felt that this young man was extremely useless as he couldn't even feel any hint of spiritual qi within him, making him lose his interest. This beaten man's soul has dimmed already. He will die soon and so he ignored him. He felt that this young lad is not the vessel of his wife he was looking for.

Instead, his eyes wandered on the young man with glowing white spiritual qi with hints of gold wisps. This is the protagonist shou of this world. Thinking that his wife might have got this person's identity as his vessel he continues to observe him from a distance. He can see that among this group a young man with black hair and bronze gold irises is the strongest within the Lou Clan that used to serve him in his era but after observing him a few more times he noticed that this young man called Lou Lan was not born with the talent of sight.

That greatly disappointed him, but he smells delicious like nourishment for his soul. He knew that this young man is his contracted sacrificial ghost bride, but he heard them talking that they took that useless rug thing as his bride to be in substitution for this Lou Lan he didn't seem to want to marry him. This Strongest Ghost King. 

Ye Xiajie's thoughts as he finally saw the short, "That just now.... His change from Golden to Silver eyes? Am I seeing things?"
