The other abilities on the Bride in Wedding Dress's panel were consistent with her performance.
For example, her superb escape ability seemed to be related to the ghost technique "Flash Escape."
She could instantly leave one location and appear at another, and crucially... she could do this while carrying her ghost domain with her!
Normally, ghosts with weaker powers could not move their ghost domains, but for more dangerous or horrific ghosts, the ghost domain would remain stationary and hard to move. Even those stronger ghosts usually didn't attempt to move their domains.
For example, Coco couldn't use her ghost domain to move Nathan Lin quickly.
However, Nathan Lin suspected that the ghost nun at Silent Light Nunnery could move her ghost domain with ease, considering how fast she was when she entered and left Coco's ghost domain. It was almost like flying!
The Bride in Wedding Dress' "Flash Escape" wasn't a conventional move. It was more like a "teleport" from the games Nathan Lin used to play before transmigrating! And it could even carry the ghost domain along with it.
This was an incredibly powerful ability.
Of course, Nathan Lin also guessed that using such a technique likely consumed a lot of ghost energy, or there might be some restrictions. He noticed that the Bride in Wedding Dress' ghost domain hadn't moved for the past couple of days.
But still, this ability was definitely a game-changer.
In the future, if Nathan Lin encountered a particularly powerful ghost that he couldn't defeat, he could simply use Flash Escape to run away, go somewhere else to level up, and then return stronger to deal with the threat!
Besides Flash Escape, the Bride in Wedding Dress also had a talent called "Superb Perception". This meant that her senses were much sharper than those of regular ghosts.
Moreover, she possessed quite a few ghost artifacts! One of them was her embroidered shoes, another was her bronze mirror that could reflect ghosts but not humans, and she also had the hairpin on her head—three ghost artifacts in total!
She was like a little treasure chest!
Nathan Lin continued reviewing her ghost domain description.
"Rare Dual Ghost Domain... no wonder…" Nathan Lin thought.
He understood it better now. The word "rare" likely referred to the special capabilities of her dual ghost domains, which could explain the unique powers she possessed.
In the end, the Bride in Wedding Dress was a very capable ghost, both in terms of strength and beauty.
At least Nathan Lin didn't have to face a ghost grandmother or a ghost grandpa like other ghost tamers did. As a system holder, Nathan Lin needed a ghost like her—beautiful and powerful!
With the addition of the Bride in Wedding Dress, Nathan Lin now had two ghost spirits. Coco's abilities were also excellent, with her strength leaning more toward direct combat. The Bride in Wedding Dress complemented her nicely.
...
After finishing reviewing the Bride in Wedding Dress' status panel, Nathan Lin turned his gaze back to her.
To his surprise, she had been staring at him the whole time.
Nathan Lin reached into his storage space and pulled out a Spirit Pill, offering it to the Bride in Wedding Dress.
"Take this," Nathan Lin said.
She slightly parted her red lips and took the Spirit Pill from his hand, swallowing it.
This reminded Nathan Lin of the time when she had gently taken his finger into her mouth.
"Spirit Pill consumed successfully. Bond with the Bride in Wedding Dress increased by 30," the system's voice rang out.
The bond between them reached 100!
At 100 bond points, even for an Evil Spirit like her, it was already a strong connection.
"New task: Ask the Bride in Wedding Dress for her name to complete the task. Reward: Ghost Spirit Experience +200, Bond +1."
The system's voice sounded again.
Name—that was important. Nathan Lin couldn't keep referring to her as the "Bride in Wedding Dress." Unlike Coco, who had asked Nathan Lin to name her, this ghost clearly had her own name.
Also, the experience reward was 20 times more than what Coco had received. That made sense, as the Bride in Wedding Dress was far stronger than Coco, and the system's experience rewards scaled with the strength of the ghosts.
"Could you... tell me your name?" Nathan Lin asked directly.
Upon hearing Nathan Lin's voice, the Bride in Wedding Dress moved. Her hand gestured, and a book appeared in her palm. She handed the book to Nathan Lin.
Nathan Lin took the book and opened it. On the first page, there were one delicate word: Sylvia.
"Sylvia... what a lovely name," Nathan Lin said.
"Task completed. Ghost Spirit Sylvia receives 200 experience points, bond +1."
The system chimed in.
Just as Nathan Lin learned the name Sylvia, the sound of hooves suddenly echoed outside her courtyard.
"Someone's coming... no, definitely not a human!" Nathan Lin thought to himself.
Where could a horse come from in such a desolate place?
"Let's go check it out," Nathan Lin decided.
He speculated that the hoofbeats might be related to the Ghost Palanquin.
"By stopping Sylvia's wedding, did we anger the person behind the Ghost Palanquin?" Nathan Lin wondered.
However, before Nathan Lin could act, he felt his hand being pulled.
He looked down and saw Sylvia reaching out, gently gripping his hand.
At this moment, Sylvia was fully visible to Nathan Lin. He could see her face and every other part of her.
As soon as Sylvia grabbed Nathan Lin's hand, he felt a shift in the air, as if reality itself had distorted for a brief moment.
Then, the ghost domain started to fade, disappearing without a trace in mere moments.
A red wedding dress fell into Nathan Lin's hand.
Sylvia's ghost domain, along with her, vanished.
No, Sylvia hadn't vanished. She had returned to her red wedding dress.
"Sylvia?" Nathan Lin called out.
Sylvia didn't respond, but Nathan Lin could feel her presence in the wedding dress. It seemed she was resting.
The red wedding dress had now become a Ghost Taming Object.
"What just happened?" Nathan Lin looked around, realizing that the scenery had completely changed. This wasn't the same place where he had confronted the Ghost Palanquin and stopped Sylvia's wedding.
The Ghost Palanquin was gone, and this was an entirely new location.
"Sylvia used her Flash Escape ability!" Nathan Lin suddenly realized.
When the hoofbeats were heard, Sylvia had immediately activated Flash Escape, taking Nathan Lin with her and escaping the scene.
It seemed that after using Flash Escape yesterday, she had now used it again, leading them to this new place.
"Could it be that using Flash Escape twice in a row requires her to rest?" Nathan Lin murmured.
He now understood Sylvia's condition better. Her Flash Escape ability was indeed overpowered, but it wasn't something she could use endlessly. If it could be used infinitely, humans would have long been wiped out by ghosts.
"That means... the hoofbeats were caused by a very powerful ghost behind the sedan?" Nathan Lin speculated.
At this point, he was fairly certain.
The hoofbeats were undoubtedly from the ghost behind the Ghost Palanquin!
Because Nathan Lin had interfered with the wedding, not only stopping Sylvia from marrying, but also taking her away, the ghost behind the sedan was coming for him now.
"It's probably a Nightmare-Grade ghost or higher," Nathan Lin thought.
It was likely a Level 6 ghost, at the very least, which explained why Sylvia had reluctantly agreed to marry despite her hesitation.
Nathan Lin glanced at Sylvia's status panel. She was a few thousand experience points away from reaching Level 6.
Once Sylvia reached Level 6, and with Coco at Nightmare Grade, the ghost behind the sedan wouldn't stand a chance—it would just become a source of experience!
But for now, it seemed like Sylvia needed a few days to rest.
Nathan Lin stored the red wedding dress away, deciding not to put it in his time-frozen storage space, since that would prevent Sylvia from resting.
Instead, he placed it in his regular bag, making sure she could recuperate.
Once everything was settled, Nathan Lin checked on Coco, who was now back in her butterfly ribbon form. Sylvia hadn't forgotten about her.
"Let's see where we are."
After connecting his communicator to the satellite and checking the location, Nathan Lin noted, "Still in Willow City, but a bit to the south."
"Well, let's head back to the city first and rest for a couple of days. Once Sylvia recovers, we'll be ready to face whatever comes next," Nathan Lin decided.
With that, Nathan Lin took out a bottle of water, drank from it, and began walking northward, heading back to the city.
