After finishing her task of delivering the food, the Bride in the Red Wedding Dress left the room. Lin Feng, feeling that the bond was now at a sufficient level (45 points), decided to follow her. The final task in the system had yet to trigger, but with 45 points, Lin Feng was confident that even though the Bride was a malevolent spirit, she wouldn't act against him now. At this point, he felt safe exploring her Ghost Domain or interacting with her. Following her might be the key to triggering the final task.
The Bride in the Red Wedding Dress returned to her personal chamber and sat before an antique bronze mirror. Lin Feng quietly observed from a distance. As she sat there, Lin Feng realized that she had completed her makeup. A delicate, soft layer of blush adorned her cheeks, with a subtle yellow tint on her forehead, accented with a deep red hue at the center. These shades gave her a refined, classical beauty.
Her hair, arranged elegantly, was adorned with intricate hairpins, completing her look into a stunningly made-up figure. It was clear she was now ready—no longer the bride of the ghostly mansion, but a well-groomed, poised woman.
She sat before the mirror, seemingly admiring herself, before opening a drawer on her dressing table. From it, she pulled out a square piece of red paper.
"This is lip paper," Lin Feng thought, recognizing the ancient method of applying lipstick.
Through the mirror, Lin Feng watched as the Bride carefully folded the paper and gently pressed it to her lips. After a quick dab, she revealed her now perfectly painted red lips, which made her look even more striking. The sight of her lips made Lin Feng almost want to... but he quickly shook off the thought.
After a few moments, the Bride in the Red Wedding Dress stood up and walked toward the door.
Lin Feng, still curious and uncertain about the next task, followed her. Why hasn't the final bonding task triggered yet? he wondered.
As they moved through the mansion, the Bride stopped just outside her chamber. She glanced back toward the door before continuing her journey through the halls. The eerie quiet of the house was broken by the soft creak of the door shutting behind them.
Lin Feng noticed that as they walked down the corridor, something strange had happened—red lanterns had been hung along the path, and there were decorative red accents everywhere. Before he could process it, a red scarf flew from one of the rooms and settled over the Bride's head, covering her face.
"A red veil?" Lin Feng muttered to himself in shock.
He quickly realized what was happening—this was the traditional veil worn by a bride about to be married. But then, a thought struck him like a bolt of lightning:
Is she getting married?
Lin Feng's mind raced, and a sudden panic set in. Is she really getting married? Who could possibly be her groom?
"Dammit!" Lin Feng cursed under his breath. "She's getting married, and I still need 5 points of bond! There's no way I'm letting her get married now!"
Just as he was about to make a move, the system's voice echoed in his mind:
"Bond task five (final): Prevent the Bride in the Red Wedding Dress from entering the Ghost Sedan. Task reward: 25 points of bond with the Bride in the Red Wedding Dress."
The final task had been triggered!
Lin Feng froze in place, processing the task. Prevent her from entering the Ghost Sedan?
It seemed that the Bride in the Red Wedding Dress wasn't entirely in control of her own fate. The Ghost Sedan... it's the vehicle used to carry her to the wedding. This means she's not marrying of her own will.
His mind raced. But... if she's a ghost, would she even care about marriage? The whole situation felt off, and Lin Feng couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to it than met the eye.
The task wasn't just about stopping her wedding—it was about understanding her true desires. But one thing was clear: Lin Feng couldn't let this happen now. The bond between them was almost complete, and he couldn't afford to lose it at the last moment.
"She must be heading for the Ghost Sedan... it should be outside," Lin Feng thought, quickly turning toward the mansion's gates.
