Why Did You Provoke Her? She Becomes the Ghost Queen After Death - chapter 69

Yan Jie stared at the rolling Bullet Comments in front of her, unable to hide the excitement on her face.

Thanks to what her grandpa had told her,

she already had a clear idea of how Su Xiaoxiao had performed today.

When it came to cooking, Su Xiaoxiao was practically cursed-she just wasn’t cut out for it at all!

The dishes she made had almost gotten two of her own teammates killed. That alone amused Yan Jie to no end.

Her grandpa had mentioned that Su Xiaoxiao’s stream had gone dark for five minutes afterward.

But Yan Jie didn’t care in the slightest.

What could they possibly do in a mere five minutes?

Even with that Fat Ghost Chef helping her, teaching her some tricks off the record, there was no way she could beat Yan Jie.

Because Yan Jie, who was full of dirty tricks, had come up with an extra insurance policy for her own victory.

So, Yan Jie also spent 50,000 Horror Coins to shut off her own stream for five minutes.

She sought out a Ghost whose strength was at the level of a Great Ghost and blocked her path.

“A living human coming to me for something? If you’re looking to die, I don’t mind granting your wish.”

The female Ghost looked at Yan Jie’s expressionless face, her own features twisting into a ferocious grin.

Yan Jie wasn’t even afraid of the Fat Ghost Chef-how could she possibly fear this female Ghost? She directly used a prop given to her by a Vengeful Ghost. A thread of terrifying, ominous aura seeped out.

The female Ghost’s face changed on the spot. Her gaze turned wary as she stared at Yan Jie, no longer daring to underestimate her.

“What do you want?”

A smile appeared on Yan Jie’s face. “Nothing much. I just want you to do something for me. If you pull it off, I’ll give you 100,000 Horror Coins.”

“100,000 Horror Coins?!” The female Ghost’s eyes widened at the amount, but she quickly calmed down and asked:

“Tell me what it is first. If it’s something I can do, I’ll take the job.”

A vicious grin spread across Yan Jie’s face as two small pills appeared out of thin air in her hand.

“These are Weakness Pills. Once a living person eats one, they’ll be as frail as someone just recovering from a serious illness. I want you to figure out a way on your own to get two people to take them.”

When the female Ghost heard that, she thought it sounded easy. She immediately asked who the two targets were and guaranteed she’d get it done.

A short while later, Yan Jie watched the departing female Ghost, the corners of her lips curling upward.

Su Xiaoxiao, your cooking can’t compare to mine.

Now I’ve crippled two of your teammates on top of that. What are you going to use to fight me?

The contract never said I couldn’t go after your teammates!

Just sit tight and wait for death!

Hahaha!!!

…

The third day of the game.

Under the lead of the Ghost Chef Teacher,

ten teams boarded a bus and headed to the Yellow Spring Restaurant for the Culinary Team Competition.

“Su Xiaoxiao, judging by the look on your face, you’re feeling pretty confident, huh?”

The moment Su Xiaoxiao stepped onto the bus, she heard a voice that made her feel sick.

“None of your damn business. Just get ready to lose.”

Holding Su Xiaoxiao’s hand, Xiang Hui glared at Yan Jie without backing down in the slightest.

Then she and Lü Le led Su Xiaoxiao to find seats.

The bus seats were arranged with three seats in a row on both the left and right sides.

“Heh.” Yan Jie didn’t take Xiang Hui’s words to heart at all. She just let out a cold laugh.

You want me to lose? Let’s see who actually loses in the end.

Then she noticed how bloodless Xiang Hui and Lü Le’s lips were, and the corners of her mouth lifted slightly.

The drug wouldn’t kick in all at once; it would act slowly. No rush. We’ll take our time.

On the way to the Yellow Spring Restaurant,

Xiang Hui noticed that Yan Jie wasn’t causing trouble. Although she found it a little strange, no trouble was still the best outcome.

“Cough, cough.”

Just then, Xiang Hui heard Lü Le coughing. She quickly turned her head, worried. “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine.” Lü Le shook her head, not thinking much of it. “Maybe I caught a bit of a chill last night. Just a little cough, it’s no big deal.”

Yet only a few minutes later, Lü Le started coughing again.

And this time, Xiang Hui began coughing too.

Sitting in front of them, Yan Jie heard the coughing from behind and that faint curve returned to her lips.

As the bus drew closer and closer to their destination,

Lü Le and Xiang Hui stopped coughing.

But the two of them felt that something was seriously wrong with their bodies!

Why did they suddenly feel so weak all over, completely drained of energy?!
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the two pale faces. “What’s wrong with you two?”

Xiang Hui forced a smile, reached out to ruffle Su Xiaoxiao’s hair, and, not wanting her to worry, braced herself and said with a laugh, “It’s nothing, Xiaoxiao.”

Even though those Ghosts had given Xiang Hui a bit of reassurance yesterday, there was no way she was going to drag Xiaoxiao down.

…

Yellow Spring Restaurant wasn’t exactly big, but it wasn’t small either.

The flow of Ghosts here was very good, and business was booming.

Under the lead of the Ghost Chef Teacher,

Su Xiaoxiao and the others arrived on the third floor of Yellow Spring Restaurant.

This was the main venue for the Culinary Team Competition.

The five Ghost Judges sat in their respective seats.

Behind the Ghost Judges sat a crowd of Ghosts who had come just to watch the show.

They were chatting loudly and merrily.

But the moment Su Xiaoxiao appeared in their line of sight, the originally noisy crowd of Ghosts instantly fell dead silent.

Every single one of them stared at the ten teams on Su Xiaoxiao’s side.

Su Xiaoxiao had no idea all these Ghosts were staring at her. Expressionless, she simply followed the Fat Ghost Chef toward the waiting room.

Only after Su Xiaoxiao disappeared from sight did the boulder pressing on the Ghosts’ hearts suddenly vanish.

Immediately after, the hall erupted into a clamor even louder than before.

They were all getting to their feet, ready to flee the place.

But just then, several powerful Fierce Ghosts appeared, suppressing the crowd in an instant. They announced that with them here, nothing would happen.

Crushed under the oppressive aura of the Fierce Ghosts, the Ghosts on the third floor could only stay put, on edge and trembling.

At the same time, they secretly prayed: that little girl absolutely, definitely must not die here!

There was still some time before the Culinary Team Competition officially began.

During this period, Yan Jie was looking for a chance to talk privately with the Ghost Judges.

She soon found her opportunity.

The five Ghost Judges all headed into the same room.

Without hesitation, Yan Jie shut off her livestream and walked straight in.

When Yan Jie came back out,

there was a smile on her face.

Su Xiaoxiao, I’ve got all five judges in my pocket now, and I’ve crippled your two teammates.

Let’s see what you’ve got left to fight me with!

Hm?!

Before long, the Culinary Team Competition officially began.

The first team drawn to go onstage was Yan Jie’s.

Yan Jie used a human heart to make a dish called “Heart Boiling.” Out of a full score of 10, she earned an 8.5.

Her two teammates also scored quite well, with 8.0 and 8.2 respectively.

Yan Jie was very satisfied with these results.

She headed to the waiting room and looked provocatively at Su Xiaoxiao. “Su Xiaoxiao, with the way your two teammates are looking right now, you’re doomed to lose, haha!!”

At this moment, Xiang Hui and Lü Le were both deathly pale, their faces completely bloodless. Their eyes were bloodshot-it was obvious at a glance that something was very wrong with their condition.

Xiang Hui glared at Yan Jie, her voice turning hoarse. “It was you! What did you do to us?!”

Yan Jie denied it at once. “Don’t talk nonsense. I haven’t even touched you two-what could I have done? Don’t go slandering people!”

Xiang Hui was certain that the reason she and Lü Le were in such bad shape had to be because of this damned Yan Jie.

But the more it was like this, the less Xiang Hui was willing to admit defeat.

She was determined to help Xiaoxiao win against them.

Su Xiaoxiao’s team was the last to go on.

Soon,

it was their turn to take the stage.

In the meantime, of the eight teams that had gone up, not a single one had managed to score higher than Yan Jie.

For the moment, Yan Jie’s team sat firmly in first place.

Watching Xiang Hui and Lü Le, who could barely walk straight, Yan Jie sneered at Su Xiaoxiao. “Su Xiaoxiao, with these two idiot women beside you, plus you, who can’t even cook, how exactly do you plan to win, huh? Hahaha!”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Xiang Hui and Lü Le, whose states were clearly abnormal, and clenched her fists. She snapped her head around to stare at Yan Jie.

Her eyes held undisguised savagery.

Like a small beast baring its fangs at last.

“Just you wait.”
