Why Did You Provoke Her? She Becomes the Ghost Queen After Death - chapter 64

Classroom 102 sat shrouded in dim light, a touch of eerie wrongness clinging to the air.

At that very moment, an uninvited guest arrived.

“Su Xiaoxiao, where are you? What, did my voice scare you so badly you had to hide?”

The familiar voice dripping with contempt slammed into Su Xiaoxiao’s ears, making her clench her fists on reflex.

In her eyes, shock and fear flashed by-but what burned stronger, far stronger, was hatred.

That familiar, arrogant, disgusting voice… Its owner was someone she would never forget, not in this lifetime.

Yan Jie!!!

Su Xiaoxiao lifted her head and looked toward the doorway of Classroom 102.

Sure enough, a figure she knew all too well-and utterly loathed-appeared in her line of sight.

A girl stood in the doorway of Classroom 102. Her features were fairly attractive, her face carrying a hint of haughtiness. Short hair framed her head in a sharp, clean cut.

This girl was one of the top ten names on Su Xiaoxiao’s must-kill list-Yan Jie.

Once she confirmed it really was Yan Jie, the calm, rippleless surface of Su Xiaoxiao’s heart exploded into thunder and crashing waves.

Her eyes brimmed with hatred she could no longer suppress. Killing intent blazed there as well.

Deep inside her, that pitch-black Spiritual Soul of hers was rioting.

The Ghosts who were secretly protecting Su Xiaoxiao, as well as the Fat Ghost Chef who hadn’t yet left the classroom, all saw the Ghost King looming behind Su Xiaoxiao. A moment ago it had been stable.

Then, all of a sudden, it went violently berserk. Under the Ghost King’s sudden fury, the chains wrapped around it looked like they might snap in the very next second.

The sight made all of them shudder on the spot.

Their little ancestor had been fine-how had her emotions spiked so violently all of a sudden?

For the whole day’s cooking lesson, in order to keep their little ancestor from coming into contact with anything too heavy or bloody, every single ingredient had been vegetarian. The whole theme was to let their little ancestor feel as warm and cozy as if she were at home.

They had guarded against everything they could think of. Yet a single girl’s appearance had instantly thrown their little ancestor’s emotions into wild turbulence.

What damnable karma…

Just as they floundered, unsure what to do and getting ready to show themselves to comfort Su Xiaoxiao, Xiang Hui at Su Xiaoxiao’s side noticed something was off with her. She quickly reached out and gently rubbed Su Xiaoxiao’s back, speaking softly:

“It’s okay, Xiaoxiao. Whoever wants to bully you has to step over my dead body first.”

Because Yan Jie’s grandfather, Yan Deyi, had paid to keep her protected, her true photos had never appeared online.

Even when they did, they were fakes.

Xiang Hui only knew there was someone called Yan Jie, but she had never seen what Yan Jie actually looked like.

She also had no idea that Yan Jie had entered the Horror World, much less that she was at Ghost Chef Academy as well.

Back when Yan Jie was topping the national trending leaderboard, Xiang Hui hadn’t seen it yet-she had already entered the Horror World by then.

So she’d never gone into Yan Jie’s Live Stream Room, never watched her.

When she got off work, she would only watch Su Xiaoxiao’s live stream, keeping track of Su Xiaoxiao in real time.

Because of that, when Yan Jie appeared now, Xiang Hui didn’t realize this girl was the very same Yan Jie who had been bullying Su Xiaoxiao in the academy.

Even though Xiang Hui hadn’t recognized her as Yan Jie, she could still tell from Xiaoxiao’s reaction that this girl was definitely Xiaoxiao’s enemy.

Warmth spread from the palm resting on her back. Feeling Xiang Hui’s deep worry and care, Su Xiaoxiao’s emotions gradually began to settle.

Yan Jie’s sudden appearance had caught her completely off guard, but not to the point of losing her reason.

The Ghosts guarding Su Xiaoxiao in secret, and the Fat Ghost Chef as well, felt a surge of gratitude toward Xiang Hui the instant they sensed Su Xiaoxiao’s emotions slowly returning to stability.

At this time, Yan Jie, utterly unafraid of the Fat Ghost Chef, walked straight up to the podium and looked at him, chin tilted with that same faint arrogance on her face.
“Big guy, mind moving aside for me, OK?”

The Fat Ghost Chef stared at the Lesser Ghost in front of him. It was because of her that his little ancestor’s mood had gone through such wild swings.

And now this Lesser Ghost dared talk to him like that? Asking for death!

His face went dark. Gripping his blood-dripping kitchen knife, he glared viciously at Yan Jie.

“Talk to me like that, and you’re asking to be turned into human meat buns.”

Yan Jie wasn’t the least bit afraid. She simply tilted her head, exposing her neck to the Fat Ghost Chef. She patted her own neck and taunted:

“Come on, come on! Chop me right here! If you can’t kill me today, then hurry up and make way, OK?”

A murderous light exploded in the Fat Ghost Chef’s eyes. So this was what happened when a tiger didn’t show its claws-everyone took him for a sick cat!

Ignoring the Old Ghosts’ earlier warnings, he hefted the knife and brought it down hard at Yan Jie’s neck!

Down below, Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes flew wide. Was Yan Jie really going to die just like that?

If Yan Jie died, how was she supposed to take revenge on her?

As disgusted as Yan Jie made her, Su Xiaoxiao knew the girl’s brain worked. Yan Jie had to have some kind of trump card to dare act like this.

Maybe she wouldn’t die.

Sure enough.

The next second, a sharp metallic clang rang out!

The Fat Ghost Chef’s knife struck Yan Jie’s neck-and not only did Yan Jie not get decapitated, the blade of his knife actually chipped.

For a moment, several pairs of eyes filled with shock.

What the hell was going on?!

Yan Jie was very satisfied with their astonished faces. “Since you couldn’t kill me, hurry up and move. Don’t get in my way.”

The Fat Ghost Chef stared at the strange Yan Jie. Hearing the Old Ghosts tell him to step aside, he finally moved away in silence.

These Ghosts all wanted to see what this Lesser Ghost was trying to do.

Yan Jie stepped straight onto the table, overlooking the hall from on high. Her gaze swept the room and quickly locked onto Su Xiaoxiao standing beside Xiang Hui.

Yan Jie looked at Su Xiaoxiao’s punchable face and those ice-blue eyes brimming with hatred fixed on her.

A twisted grin, one that didn’t belong on someone her age, slowly spread across Yan Jie’s face.

“Su Xiaoxiao, did you really think that just because you came to the Horror World, you could escape from the palm of my hand? Hm?”

The moment those words left her mouth-

Huge waves surged in Xiang Hui’s heart. In an instant, she understood why her Xiaoxiao baby had suddenly seemed off.

This girl was calling herself Yan Jie?!

Yan Jie… wasn’t that the very culprit who’d bullied Xiaoxiao at the academy?!

At the same time, the viewers in Su Xiaoxiao’s Live Stream Room, who’d been feeling heartache for her all along, were now staring at her with deep worry.

Yan Jie had climbed to 17th on the national trending leaderboard.

So a lot of people already knew about her.

They’d originally thought that this Yan Jie, a Horror World newbie player with a mind darker than a Ghost’s and favored by Ghosts, just happened to share a name with the Yan Jie who’d bullied Su Xiaoxiao.

But the truth was, this Yan Jie was the very same Yan Jie who’d tormented Xiaoxiao at the academy!

“I knew it! This Yan Jie is that beast who bullied Xiaoxiao! You guys just wouldn’t believe me!”

“Xiang Hui! You’d better protect my girl!”

“I really held onto hope before, thinking it was just the same name. But now it’s clear-this bitch is the dog that bullied our Xiaoxiao baby!”

“Damn it! This Yan Jie does have some tricks up her sleeve! Xiaoxiao baby needs to be careful!”

While the audience flooded the Live Stream Room with worried comments-

Yan Jie jumped down from the table. With a hint of arrogance on her face and contempt in her eyes, she walked straight toward Su Xiaoxiao.
