Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1288

When the Ghost King first confirmed Vincent's identity in the beginning, he had some reservations. After all, it was hard to accept that the wife he had loved for centuries reincarnated into a man.

Later, one of his lackeys advised him, stating, "Previously, there's a male ghost who went through with a ghost marriage at Crescent Hill. When he showed up at the bride's door, he realized his bride had become a groom.

"The male ghost wasn't picky about things. He thought it was sufficient as long as he had company. Well, guess what happened after that? They're now as sweet as any typical newlywed couple!

"Clearly, there's no harm in trying. Even the underworld acknowledged that ghost marriage. You, as the great Ghost King, shouldn't care about these trivial matters of gender.

"If it's really an issue, just use a little illusion—turn the man into a woman, and no one will be the wiser…"

It was precisely because of that "advice" that the Ghost King became determined to fulfill the thousand-year pact he had made with his wife and marry her.

In the end, not only did his wife change sex, but she also had a change of heart…

He couldn't believe Vincent had a fiancée! What a betrayal!

No words could describe his fury at that moment, yet his raging emotions didn't translate into action. Instead, he was no longer fixated on the idea of taking Vincent away.

Perhaps because Shannon was standing nearby, the Ghost King didn't act rashly and became mindful. He simply glared at the engaged couple, and after a long pause, as if something occurred to him, he let out a cold, sinister laugh.

"Fine, you can be with this little underworld traveler. I've waited for a thousand years anyway; I don't mind waiting a few more years… Once you die, I'll send you to the afterlife and make sure you reincarnate into a woman.

"By then, I'll gladly take you as the Queen of the Dark Mountain…"

Vincent was utterly speechless, thinking, "Dude, are you okay? I'm not even dead yet—why are you arranging my marriage for my next life?"

Myla, too, thought the Ghost King was rather a cuckoo. Still, it only reflected his everlasting love for his late wife.
