I Meant to Catch the Ghost King, but the Yandere Locked Me in Her Room

The atmosphere in the luxury mansion at Tomson Riviera was so deathly still that you could hear a pin drop.

Lin Chuyi looked at the security door twisted into a pretzel, then at the screenshot showing the “100-million-yuan bonus” that had just landed in her account and was still too new to feel real. She swallowed and forced a smile that looked more like a grimace.

“Um... Lanyue, what if I told you I packed my things in the middle of the night because I was going to buy your favorite soup dumplings from the north side of town? Would you believe me?”

Su Lanyue still looked as frail as ever. Her pale fingertips slid along the side of Lin Chuyi’s neck and into her collar, sending a chill through her soul. She tilted her head, the long-suppressed dark red in her eyes bursting free, and spoke in a sickly sweet voice:

“Of course. But, Chuyi, do you want to run and get them, or would you rather... I lock you in a cage and listen to you cry and beg me to feed you?”

The System in Lin Chuyi’s head shrieked: “Alert! Ghost King’s corruption level is at 1000%! Host, perform a physical exorcism immediately!”

Lin Chuyi wailed inwardly: Exorcise my ass! My Five-Thunder Talisman went out with one breath of her yin energy before I could even stick it on her!

“Um... could I get a solid gold cage instead?” Lin Chuyi raised both hands and tried widening her eyes with an earnest look. “I have sensitive skin and can easily get an allergy to ordinary iron. I’m mostly worried it’ll interfere with serving you.”

Su Lanyue paused, then let out a low laugh, her voice full of possessiveness and affection that made Lin Chuyi’s legs go weak.

“Sure. As long as you don’t run away, I’ll turn all the mines in the underworld into gold for you.”

Lin Chuyi: Help! She’s offering way too much. I think my wretched love of money is about to betray me again!
