Chapter 2426: How Beautiful Could He Possibly Be?
Li Sanlang’s appearance was even more frightening up close.
Ning Shu appeared extremely calm. Inwardly, she felt speechless for Liu Xiaoya. Other people’s ghost husbands were all blessed with handsomeness that angered gods and made people resentful. That was why they obeyed the ghost husband after some initial resistance.
But Liu Xiaoya’s husband was truly… It was hard to explain in just a few words.
However, he had already died and became a ghost, so how beautiful could he possibly be?
“Mother said you are a country girl. How could you know these things?” Li Sanlang asked resentfully. His tone was dark and his posture emitted hostility. Between that and the way his hair floated, he looked strikingly similar to a malicious spirit.
Ning Shu’s expression didn’t change. “I still know a lot.”
“You are my wife. You should not disobey me.” Li Sanlang became more and more agitated.
And because of his anger, the temperature in the room steeply dropped.
Ning Shu mobilized the spiritual energy within her body to withstand the cold air.
Li Sanlang unexpectedly spread his arms to embrace Ning Shu. It felt like she was pressed up against a thousand-year-old glacier.
It was a cold that seeped into her bones.
“We should consummate our marriage now.” Li Sanlang moved closer to Ning Shu’s ear as he spoke. She felt like her ears were going to freeze off.
Just talk normally. Why did he need to get so close?
Although the reason why Li Sanlang did not reincarnate and still yearned for something in the mortal world was unknown, she knew she needed to get away from him.
She had to leave the Li family.
Otherwise, she would somehow become pregnant.
Ning Shu felt like she was becoming frozen to the core being hugged by Li Sanlang.
What the f*ck?
Even with such a short period of contact, Ning Shu understood that Li Sanlang was very controlling.
He wanted to consummate the marriage? How do a person and a ghost consummate?
“Release me or I’ll make everyone suffer,” Ning Shu said. When ghost energy entered the human body, it would decrease the person’s lifespan and affect their ability to think, causing them to feel constant brain fog.
“You are my wife. Of course we have to consummate the marriage.” Li Sanlang’s tone was very displeased.
“Are you going to disobey me?”
Ning Shu felt him tighten his hold on her body.
Ning Shu: What the heck are these tasks?
Ning Shu confidently recited a spell and Li Sanlang loosened his hold on her. As she recited the spell more and more quickly, the air around them wavered.
Li Sanlang was forced away from Ning Shu. His expression grew more impatient. “Would you go against your husband’s wishes?”
Ning Shu rolled her eyes and drew a talisman in the air. The talisman wasn’t for dealing with Li Sanlang, but to integrate the spell into her body.
It would help her resist the cold and his evil energy.
But without cinnabar, a drawn talisman was only half as effective. If she had a paper talisman, she would be able to keep Li Sanlang away.
“Liu Xiaoya, you are disobeying me.” Li Sanlang threatened her again.
But Ning Shu didn’t stop chanting.
Since Li Sanlang was unable to get close to her, he grew furious.
“Do not disobey me! If you do not test my patience, I will be generous,” Li Sanlang said.
It was clear that Li Sanlang had been spoiled and arrogant since he was a child: always looking down at others from above.
Oh, did he think she would immediately agree when he offered generosity?
Tsk. Did he see people as pets to be trained with generosity and favors?
Ning Shu paid him no mind and closed her eyes.
She continued to chant the spell and simultaneously drew a talisman in the air to hit Li Sanlang.
Li Sanlang was so incredibly enraged that he stormed off.
