Why Did You Provoke Her? She Becomes the Ghost Queen After Death - chapter 67

In Classroom 102, at the lectern.

Fat Ghost Chef watched the Old Ghosts eating right in front of him and, feeling utterly wronged, couldn’t help swallowing hard.

Fat Ghost Chef’s Strength was on the same tier as Death Clown and Chainsaw Blood Soul-Evil Ghost Level.

As for the Old Ghosts secretly protecting Su Xiaoxiao, they were like Lao Saozi-Fierce Ghost Level.

With the gap in power so huge, Fat Ghost Chef could only stare as they ate. He couldn’t even join in and get a share.

He was still fantasizing about whether, once the Old Ghosts finished, there might be a few scraps left for him.

The very next second, he saw them go into full-on sweep mode, leaving him not even a crumb.

Would someone please pity this poor child!

In no time, every last bit of food Su Xiaoxiao had made was divided up and swallowed.

One Old Ghost wore an expression of pure satisfaction. “Massive tonic-I can feel my Strength has gone up a lot.”

Another Old Ghost looked equally pleased. “Yeah-who would’ve thought that even though little ancestor isn’t dead, her pitch-black Spiritual Soul, and that Ghost King phantom behind her, can already affect reality?”

“Hahaha, does this count as us eating food personally made by the Ghost King?”

“How could it not?! Of course it counts!”

The Old Ghosts all laughed happily.

Just then, one of them flashed a vicious look, made a throat-slitting gesture, and said savagely:

“That Lesser Ghost who went looking for trouble with little ancestor-should we deal with her? And it’s pretty obvious little ancestor’s Spiritual Soul is so black because of that Lesser Ghost. She definitely contributed a lot!”

The Five-Eyed Fierce Ghost asked back, “It’s a match between little ancestor and that girl. With just the food little ancestor makes-something that’s a huge tonic even for us Fierce Ghosts-do you really think she’ll lose?”

“No way! Those weakling judges, the moment they see little ancestor’s food, they’ll probably start fighting over it!” said the Old Ghost who wanted to handle Yan Jie.

“Exactly. Since it’s a sure win for little ancestor, there’s no need to bother with that Lesser Ghost. Letting little ancestor personally deal with her is better than us doing it for her. Besides, didn’t you notice something strange about that Lesser Ghost?” the Five-Eyed Fierce Ghost said in a deep voice.

Another Old Ghost frowned. “After the fatty chopped at that Lesser Ghost’s neck, I don’t know if it was my imagination, but I seemed to sense a trace of a Vengeful Ghost’s aura.”

The Five-Eyed Fierce Ghost turned serious. “You weren’t imagining it. That really was a Vengeful Ghost’s aura. The Dean isn’t here, so we’ll protect little ancestor in secret and wait and see. Anyway, little ancestor won’t lose.”

“Fair point,” another Old Ghost said. Then his face suddenly lit up with delight. “Everyone! I just remembered something!”

“What is it?”

“Little ancestor doesn’t know it herself, but because of her Spiritual Soul’s influence, the food she makes gathers all kinds of resentment, murderous aura, ferocity, and other negative energies. From a human perspective, her cooking is a total disaster. And tomorrow she’s supposed to train her cooking skills-she’ll definitely make a lot of food!”

“Right! Then let’s not tell her two teammates yet. Let them keep thinking little ancestor’s food is a complete mess, so little ancestor will make more.”

“But isn’t that kind of messed up?”

“Do you still want to eat little ancestor’s food or not? If you do, then Shut Up.”

…

Yan Jie returned to the dorm, exchanged a few words with her two teammates, then did a quick tidy-up and lay down on her bed.

Facing the Bullet Comments scrolling before her, Yan Jie said:

“Grandpa, we don’t know the exact reason those ghosts are protecting that little piece of trash Su Xiaoxiao.”

“But Grandpa, can you really be sure that on the third day, the Ghost Judges won’t favor Su Xiaoxiao?”

As soon as she said that, the Bullet Comments instantly filled with all kinds of insults aimed at Yan Jie.

And those insults, naturally, came from Su Xiaoxiao’s fans.
Yan Jie had long since grown immune to the Bullet Comments cursing her out and chose to ignore them completely.

Soon, she saw the comment her grandpa sent.

“My good granddaughter, you already know what level Su Xiaoxiao’s cooking is at. When it’s time to bribe the judges, just take out that item the Vengeful Ghost gave you in the last game. No matter how strange Su Xiaoxiao is, can she compare to a Vengeful Ghost? With that relationship, I doubt any judge will dare shield her.”

The moment Yan Jie saw her grandpa’s Bullet Comment, her confidence surged.

Right!

She’d earned the favor of a Vengeful Ghost in the last game.

The Vengeful Ghost had given her a special item.

Time to wave the tiger skin and borrow its might.

With a Vengeful Ghost backing her, this game was basically hers to win.

Su Xiaoxiao, there’s no way you’re beating me.

Just sit there and wait to lose, then be tortured to death by me! Hahaha!

…

Inside the dorm where Su Xiaoxiao was staying.

Xiang Hui was telling Su Xiaoxiao a bedtime story.

“Once upon a time, there was a mountain. At the foot of the mountain, there was a little monkey pressed down beneath it…”

After a whole exhausting day, Su Xiaoxiao quickly drifted off to sleep under Xiang Hui’s soothing, hypnotic voice.

Xiang Hui watched Su Xiaoxiao’s sleeping face, a silly smile blooming on her own. Then she bent down and brushed a light, dragonfly-like kiss on Su Xiaoxiao’s forehead.

Sweet dreams, Xiaoxiao.

She pulled the blanket up to tuck Su Xiaoxiao in, then turned to Lü Le and whispered, “You’re still not going to sleep?”

Lü Le countered, “I will in a bit. Aren’t you going to wash up?”

Xiang Hui smiled. “I need to head out for a while. I’ll wash up and sleep when I get back. You go ahead and sleep.”

With that, Xiang Hui walked out of the dorm room and gently closed the door, carefully avoiding any noise that might wake Su Xiaoxiao.

Lü Le found it strange. At this hour, why was Xiang Hui going out?

Where could she even be going?

And this was the Horror World. Going out now was basically asking to die. Like an old man celebrating his birthday by eating arsenic-clearly not afraid of dying.

Lying in bed, Lü Le waited and waited, but Xiang Hui still didn’t come back. She tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

In the end, Lü Le gritted her teeth, quietly got up, and tiptoed out of the dorm as well.

She’d barely gone around the corner when she ran into the Dormitory Administrator Ghost. Her heart plummeted, alarm bells blaring in her head.

Just as she was inwardly cursing herself for having water for brains-why had she even thought of going out to look for Xiang Hui when she didn’t know where Xiang Hui had gone-

The Dormitory Administrator Ghost saw her and not only didn’t make things difficult, but actually gave her a look that clearly said, I know exactly why you’re out here.

Then Lü Le was led by the Dormitory Administrator Ghost to the ghost’s own dorm.

The moment she stepped into the Dormitory Administrator Ghost’s dorm, Lü Le spotted a familiar figure-and heard the sound of food sizzling in a wok.

…

Day two of the game.

“Xiaoxiao, get up, tidy yourself up, then come have breakfast~

“The sun’s about to burn your butt~”

Su Xiaoxiao was awakened by a gentle voice.

The instant she opened her eyes, she was met with Xiang Hui’s gaze, brimming with tender affection.

Then Xiang Hui, like an old-timey nursemaid serving a princess, helped Su Xiaoxiao change clothes and took her to wash up.

After a flurry of activity-

Xiang Hui and Lü Le carried breakfast over.

“Xiaoxiao, drink a few spoonfuls of hot milk to warm your stomach first, then we’ll eat everything else, okay? Here, let me feed you~ Ah-”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Xiang Hui and Lü Le. She’d already noticed earlier that both of them had heavy dark circles under their eyes.

They hadn’t slept well last night?

Her gaze drifted to Xiang Hui’s fingers. She remembered that before she fell asleep, Xiang Hui hadn’t been wearing any bandages.

She didn’t know what had happened, but she didn’t ask. She knew Xiang Hui would just brush her off.

And Su Xiaoxiao already had her own suspicions in her heart.

So she simply opened her mouth quietly and let Xiang Hui and Lü Le feed her.
