Chapter 126: Chapter 126 : The Ghost Wedding (3)

"What else are you unhappy with???" Xie Jianyu snapped. "Was the wedding not up to your standard?"

"A wedding is supposed to be the start of a new Chapter in our life," one of the ghost brides lamented.

"And yet, this wedding marks the end of everything," another said.

"It is not a joyous occasion at all."

Zhang Fengxi rubbed his face and sighed.

"We understand where you are coming from, but there is no way for us, or anyone, to resurrect the dead. We will ask the Rainbell Town’s inhabitants to burn paper money for you every month..."

"We don’t want paper money."

"Or paper carriages."

"Or paper mansions."

Zhang Fengxi started to get worried. If ghosts no longer wished for spirit money, then they usually wanted something more. For example, the death of an archenemy...

"We want to experience intimacy, just once."

"..."

"..."

Xie Jianyu’s face turned bright red.

"Impossible!" he exclaimed. "The dead can no longer experience such a thing! Not unless..."

The words were stuck in his throat. He was too afraid to say it out loud.

The twenty-four ghost brides gave the two young men a beseeching look.

"Just one kiss," they said. "One kiss shall suffice us."

"Fine," Zhang Fengxi said. "I will kiss every each of you. Is it good enough then?"

The ghost brides lit up with joy, but then they quickly corrected Zhang Fengxi, "We don’t want to be kissed in this paper doll body."

"... Then?"

"We want to be kissed in a real body with flesh and blood."

"..."

"..."

Seeing that both Zhang Fengxi and Xie Jianyu were speechless and confused, one ghost bride decided to go ahead and say it out loud.

"We want to ask permission to possess the bride’s body so that the groom can kiss us."

"..."

"..."

The one who was currently dressed as the bride was Xie Jianyu. His face darkened when he realized what the ghost brides wanted. They wished to possess his body and let Zhang Fengxi kiss him!

"I am not going to allow it!" he cried out. "The wedding is herewith postponed. I will arrange for a grander wedding than this, complete with a living human being couple to possess."

The ghost brides began to wail earnestly.

"It is just one kiss."

"We have put down all of our hopes and dreams in this one kiss."

"Only one kiss, and we shall be freed from our resentment."

"We will go down to the Underworld and prepare to be reborn into our next life."

"Please, please grant us the wish."

Next to Xie Jianyu, Zhang Fengxi cleared his throat.

The Crown Prince shot him a glare.

"Don’t tell me that you want to do this," he snapped.

Zhang Fengxi tossed out a little laughter when he pulled Xie Jianyu aside for a small discussion.

"Xie Jianyu, think about it," Zhang Fengxi explained. "You already told your father that you will fix the problem by performing a mass ghost wedding. You were so adamant about carrying out this task on your own, asking for no help whatsoever. What will the Heavenly Emperor say if you go back now and ask for help?"

"..."

Anger flickered across Xie Jianyu’s eyes.

"Imagine going back to the Heavenly Realm and repeating the entire process because you are not willing to spare a kiss. Also, what if you disappoint the ghosts too much and they refuse to leave? You are the leader of this mission. I am just your loyal subordinate here. I am not losing any face. You are."

"..."

Just as Zhang Fengxi predicted, Xie Jianyu would rather die than appear incapable in front of the entire heavenly court.

"Fine!" he shouted. "One kiss."

"One kiss," Zhang Fengxi agreed.

The ghost brides nodded fervently. "Just one kiss, we promise. Oh, thank you. Thank you."

Xie Jianyu scowled and threw one last glare at Zhang Fengxi. He stood in front of the ghost brides and closed his eyes. The ghost brides left their paper shells and entered Xie Jianyu’s body one by one.

Once all twenty-four spirits had taken possession of the Crown Prince’s body, the latter opened his eyes in a seductive manner.

"Young Prince..." he said with a soft voice that tugged at Zhang Fengxi’s heartstrings.

"..."

Zhang Fengxi started to doubt that this was a good idea at all. Why must Xie Jianyu wear such thick make-up? His red lips looked so soft and alluring, like blooming flower petals that invited insects to taste their nectar.

No, no, he thought to himself in denial.

It was not Xie Jianyu at the moment. He was not originally this beautiful and seductive. The ghost brides in his body made him look that way.

Nevertheless, the knot at Zhang Fengxi’s neck bobbed up and down nervously.

Just one kiss, he told himself. One meaningless peck on the lips. Such kisses were exchanged between children. If one such kiss could appease twenty-four ghost brides, then it was worth it.

Zhang Fengxi slid an arm around Xie Jianyu’s slender form. Xie Jianyu looked up at him with dreamy eyes.

Girls, Zhang Fengxi thought. He tilted the beautiful bride’s chin upward and captured his lips in a ravenous kiss.

A soft hum escaped Xie Jianyu’s throat as he wallowed in the sweet encounter. Aroused, Zhang Fengxi grabbed the back of Xie Jianyu’s neck and deepened the kiss. After some time, Xie Jianyu’s knees turned weak.

"Ah..." Dizziness overcame him, causing him to slide downward in Zhang Fengxi’s embrace.

Zhang Fengxi pulled Xie Jianyu into his arms smoothly without breaking the kiss. He then expertly pried Xie Jianyu’s lips open and slid his tongue into Xie Jianyu’s oral cavity.

"Mmm..."

Once he regained some energy, Xie Jianyu slid his hands across Zhang Fengxi’s sturdy frame and clawed into his strong back.

[Thank you...]

[Ooh, thank you. I can rest in peace now...]

One by one, the ghost brides embarked on their journey to the underworld.

Meanwhile, Zhang Fengxi tightened his embrace around Xie Jianyu’s body and continued sucking the air out of Xie Jianyu’s lungs. A tiny voice in Zhang Fengxi’s head asked full of hesitation, "Uh, does a peck usually last this long?", but Zhang Fengxi ignored it.

It was the Ghost Mistress of Ceremony who then interrupted them with an abashed tone, "Excuse me, but the mass wedding ceremony is herewith concluded. The twenty-four ghost brides have all left with contented hearts."
