My Foolish Husband Turned Out to Have a Hidden Identity Too

Chapter 138: Chapter 138 Let’s Get Married (2)

“Muer, you are the first to know of my identity as the Ghost King and yet, you didn’t look down on me,” Ye Wuchen slowly curled his lips upward, his tender gaze resting on the girl in his arms.

He still remembered the first time he met this girl, how clear and bright her eyes were, void of any mockery or ridicule, devoid of pity, as if she treated him as any ordinary person.

He remembered what the girl had said at the time.

As long as he didn’t consider himself a fool, then he was not a fool…

“Later, perhaps out of curiosity, I had you investigate your own background. Although Qingyun Sect kept your information tightly sealed, how could the Ghost Hall’s influence not uncover it? Including your test of Talent and the fact that Qingyun Sect’s chief Alchemy Master took you as an apprentice, it was then that I truly understood you, my wife,” he said.

Thinking of the information he had learned, Ye Wuchen’s gaze grew even more tender. He softly held the girl in his arms and, smiling with a curved lip, said, “If it were anyone else, after being taken as an apprentice by the chief Alchemy Master of Qingyun Sect, most would show off. Even those who didn’t would use the influence to further their own ends. But you, you had him keep it a secret and chose to climb up through your own efforts.”

Though in the end, she let Elder Zhao make a trip to the Imperial Palace. But if it weren’t for him being in the Imperial Palace at that time, she undoubtedly wouldn’t have gone, and the matter wouldn’t have been exposed.

This woman, she didn’t like to rely on others, just as in the battle with Ling Ye. She could have easily slain him relying on Yan Jin and his strength, yet her choice was to use the most dangerous method.

Only to defeat him with her own strength.

But she was not stubborn. She knew her own abilities and when to stop. If she encountered an enemy she clearly couldn’t handle, only then would she let others fight, just like with Ling Ye’s master and the Holy Maiden Sect’s mighty ones…

Because, if she were to insist on fighting such adversaries herself, it would not be bravery, but foolishness. Thus, she knew what she had to do…

How could he not love such a woman?

“Wuchen, if I told you that I am merely a ghost, would you still take me as your wife?” Mu Ruyue raised her eyes, gazing intently at the man before her, and asked seriously.

“I am just a ghost from an otherworldly place, and I don’t know why I ended up possessing this body of Mu Ruyue. To be precise, I am not human. There may come a day when I return to the world I originally came from. With that said, will you still want me?”

Ye Wuchen pulled his lips into a smile, letting out a peerless charm in an instant. This man was so handsome that even his smile could effortlessly steal one’s soul.

“Isn’t it my fortune to have found such a special existence as you?” Ye Wuchen tightened his grip on her arm slightly, a devilishly charming smile on his face, “Silly girl, it doesn’t matter if you are human, a demon, a spirit, or a ghost. What is unchanging is that you are my wife, Ye Wuchen, the one woman I will protect with all my life. If you truly are just a wisp of a ghost and if the heavens want to take you away, then I will defy fate. Even the heavens have no right to force you to leave.”

As he spoke these words, his eyebrows slightly lifted, his voice now carried a domineering aura distinct from his usual flirtatious tone—it had an added trace of prideful arrogance.

What does it matter to defy the heavens? If overthrowing the heavens could keep her here, then he would not hesitate to do so…
