Chapter 44: Grooming the Bridal Dress Ghost!
The Bridal Dress Ghost sat there quietly, her gaze fixed not on Lin Feng, but on her reflection in the mirror.
“The comb is over there.”
After observing the Bridal Dress Ghost, Lin Feng naturally turned his attention to the main task at hand! He was going to comb the hair of this nightmare-grade female ghost!
The bride’s comb was placed on the dressing table.
Her hair was long and thick.
Of course, Lin Feng couldn’t see it. He could only observe through the bronze mirror.
Lin Feng reached out and picked up the comb.
It was a wooden comb, quite exquisite, seemingly handcrafted.
Of course, you can never be sure if anything in the ghost realm truly exists.
The texture felt real enough.
Lin Feng’s eyes focused on the bronze mirror as he slowly brought the comb closer to the Bridal Dress Ghost’s hair.
This was the only way, after all, since he couldn’t actually see the Bridal Dress Ghost.
Beside him, Tongtong remained in a highly vigilant state.
This was evident from the fact that her dress was still in its red form.
However, Tongtong’s red dress form seemed to consume a lot of ghost energy, so she rarely revealed this form unless it was absolutely necessary.
“Tongtong, switch back to the white dress. No need to worry,” Lin Feng said, turning his head slightly.
He was concerned that Tongtong might deplete too much of her ghost energy, which wouldn’t be good.
Tongtong, being obedient, quickly switched her dress back to white after Lin Feng spoke.
In her white dress, Tongtong no longer had any energy consumption.
Although she returned to her white dress form, the slight glow in her eyes still showed traces of caution.
Tongtong’s gaze had changed!
In the past, she wouldn’t have had such a look.
These changes were good signs for Lin Feng!
Lin Feng shifted his focus from Tongtong back to the bronze mirror.
He then saw the comb slowly make contact with the Bridal Dress Ghost’s hair.
No wonder Lin Feng was so cautious.
This was mainly because Lin Feng had never combed a woman’s hair before, let alone the hair of a female ghost.
In the bronze mirror, Lin Feng could see the comb touching the Bridal Dress Ghost’s hair.
He could even feel it.
The comb did indeed make contact with something.
“This comb can actually touch her hair,” Lin Feng thought.
That made things easier.
With the tactile sensation as a reference, Lin Feng slowly ran the comb downwards.
“The main thing about combing hair is to straighten it, right?” Lin Feng had never combed a woman’s hair before, but luckily, he’d seen some period dramas and could follow along.
His comb continued downward.
Soon enough, the comb reached the ends of her hair.
Wherever the comb passed, the Bridal Dress Ghost’s hair became exceptionally straight and glossy.
“So, the comb has built-in effects. That makes things much easier,” Lin Feng mused.
The ghost realm truly defied logic.
All Lin Feng needed to do was run the comb through the Bridal Dress Ghost’s hair, and it would naturally become neat and styled.
He didn’t need to painstakingly shape her hairstyle.
Lin Feng wasn’t a stylist, after all…
He didn’t know anything about hairstyles!
This way, it was perfect.
So, Lin Feng used the bronze mirror and the tactile sensation of the comb as references.
He finished combing the second strand of hair.
Then, the third strand.
Of course, the process wasn’t fast.
Lin Feng was very careful, as this was related to the bond task.
If he applied too much pressure and hurt the Bridal Dress Ghost — assuming she could feel pain — it wouldn’t end well.
Well, hurting her wasn’t possible.
But it might lead to some unpredictable changes.
So, Lin Feng took a full ten minutes to comb through all of the Bridal Dress Ghost’s hair.
During this time, the Bridal Dress Ghost sat there motionless, like a well-behaved wife.
She was nothing like the ruthless, nightmare-grade female ghost who killed without hesitation!
Indeed, the comb had special effects. After one round of combing, the Bridal Dress Ghost’s hair had transformed into a rather classic hairstyle.
Although it was classical, it didn’t look old-fashioned at all. Instead, it added a touch of classical beauty to her.
