Why Did You Provoke Her? She Becomes the Ghost Queen After Death - chapter 71

Amid the Ghosts’ tense, uneasy stares…

The first to bring out her dish was Xiang Hui.

At this moment, although Xiang Hui’s face was deathly pale and her steps unsteady, her spine remained straight and her gaze resolute.

And right then, Yan Jie also came out of the waiting room, staring fixedly at the dish Xiang Hui was carrying.

She wanted to see for herself-after ending up like that, what else could you possibly pull off?!

At first glance, Yan Jie almost laughed herself to death.

Xiang Hui’s plate was a chaotic mix of meat slices and intestines. The overall color skewed pale, and it gave off a faint chill. One look was enough to tell it had been boiled and then chilled with ice.

No wonder her grandfather said she was guaranteed to win.

Against that kind of “skill,” she obviously would.

However, very quickly, Yan Jie’s eyes widened, her face filling with shock.

Even the Ghosts in the audience were the same!

After Xiang Hui set her dish down in front of the five Ghost Judges, she picked up the small knife on the plate and-gritting her teeth-without the slightest hesitation, sliced across her palm!

Immediately after, warm blood splashed over the pale dish that still radiated cold.

Once the fresh blood hit the food, it was like the finishing touch that brought a dragon to life-the meat slices and intestines on the plate seemed to jump up a whole level in an instant!

Xiang Hui’s approach made the five Ghost Judges’ eyes light up. They all began tasting.

In the end, Xiang Hui received a score of 8.4!

Out of the ten teams, that was already the second-highest score so far!

After Xiang Hui, Lü Le brought out a dish in a similar style.

She also used a small knife to cut her palm, then drizzled fresh blood over the food.

But with Xiang Hui’s example already there,

Lü Le only scored 8.2 this time-still a high score.

At this moment, Yan Jie began to lose her composure; her expression turned downright ugly.

She simply couldn’t believe it-those two idiot women were already in that state, and they could still get scores this high!

Damn it! Why?!

Seeing her grandfather signal her to calm down and not worry, Yan Jie forced herself to steady her breathing.

So what if Su Xiaoxiao’s two teammates were capable?

With Su Xiaoxiao’s cooking, even if the Ghost Judges played favorites, she’d get at most around a seven.

This round, they were guaranteed to win!

After her grandfather put it that way, Yan Jie really did calm down.

He was right. Su Xiaoxiao’s cooking was garbage. No matter how strong her two teammates were, it wouldn’t change anything.

If she was meant to lose, she’d still lose.

And just as Yan Jie started fantasizing about how she was going to torture Su Xiaoxiao in a moment…

The next second,

a petite figure walked out of the kitchen, carrying a plate.

The instant that small figure appeared,

the previously noisy crowd of Ghosts fell silent.

Dead silent.

In that frightening quiet, a single set of footsteps became especially distinct.

Those were Su Xiaoxiao’s footsteps as she carried her food forward.

At this very moment, the Ghosts’ eyes were wide, all of them staring at Su Xiaoxiao, terror written plainly in their gaze.

Su Xiaoxiao’s appearance right then made it feel as if they were watching a Ghost King wreathed in towering ghostflames, murderous aura rolling off her, step out from the kitchen.

With every step, it was as though she were treading on their very souls, making them all shudder.

Yet after the fear came…

their eyes snapped in unison to the food in Su Xiaoxiao’s hands.

In an instant, greed and yearning rose in countless Ghosts’ eyes, saliva pouring from their mouths.

In ordinary eyes, Su Xiaoxiao’s Black Egg Fried Rice was merely a plate of glossy black fried rice-so black it looked downright bizarre.
But in the eyes of all the Ghosts present,

On that plate of Black Egg Fried Rice they saw thick murderous aura, Yin energy, and all kinds of negative power! To them, this wasn’t food at all-it was a heaven-defying tonic pill!

Up in the stands, some Lesser Ghosts and Great Ghosts practically wanted to rush up to Su Xiaoxiao right then, drop to their knees, and pitifully whimper:

“Mama~ hungry~ food~”

They were sure that as long as they ate this plate of fried rice, they would absolutely be able to break through to the next stage!

Several Fierce Ghosts guarding the venue all turned to look at one another, reading the exact same thought in each other’s eyes.

At the judges’ table, the five Evil Ghost Judges had already risen from their seats. Right now they looked like starving wolves, eyes glowing green as they stared at the Black Egg Fried Rice in Su Xiaoxiao’s hands!

If they weren’t afraid of Su Xiaoxiao, they would’ve rushed up to snatch it already, no question!

Just as the five Evil Ghost Judges were taut with tension and anticipation, waiting for this “big daddy” Su Xiaoxiao to feed them-

The next second, seven Fierce Ghosts wreathed in ghostly energy appeared out of thin air in unison!

One of the Fierce Ghosts barked imperiously at the five Evil Ghost Judges:

“All of you can step down! From here on, the seven of us will do the tasting!”

The five Evil Ghost Judges’ eyes went wide on the spot.

Seriously? The duck that was already flying into their mouths was just going to be snatched away like this?!

That was food personally made by the Ghost King! And not just any food-a meal on par with a supreme tonic pill!

But with such an insurmountable gap in strength between the two sides, the five Evil Ghost Judges could only seethe in silence.

They could only slink off the stage with ashen faces and become like the Ghosts in the audience-staring longingly and nothing more.

The Ghosts in the stands felt inexplicably comforted at the sight.

Heh heh, if we don’t get to eat it, you five can forget about eating it too!

Xiang Hui and Lü Le stood together, completely at ease about the Black Egg Fried Rice Su Xiaoxiao had made, because yesterday the Fat Ghost Chef had told them:

Anything Xiaoxiao cooks will knock a living person flat on a board, but for Ghosts it’s a massive tonic!

Her score would definitely crush everyone! A perfect 10 out of 10!

With their current scores, they weren’t any weaker than Yan Jie’s two teammates-they basically had the win in the bag!

At this moment, Yan Jie also realized something was wrong, a heavy sense of dread rising in her chest.

Why had those five Ghost Judges been chased off the stage?

What level were those seven Ghosts? What status did they have?!

And that plate of Black Egg Fried Rice in Su Xiaoxiao’s hands-that thing even a dog would turn its nose up at.

Why were all these Ghosts staring at it with green, glowing eyes, filled with desperate greed and desire?!

Watching the livestream of his granddaughter, Yan Deyi was suddenly overwhelmed by unease as well.

He hurried to calm his granddaughter down, telling her to stay cool and see how things played out first!

But very quickly, both Yan Jie and Yan Deyi completely lost their ability to stay calm.

Yan Jie stared at the scene unfolding before her, eyes wide with shock, her face full of utter disbelief.

That plate of Black Egg Fried Rice of Su Xiaoxiao’s-

Had actually made those seven new judges come to blows!

And the reason was that there wasn’t enough to split evenly!

Absurd. Absolutely absurd. So absurd you’d go home, your dad would open the door, and absurdity itself would be sitting in your living room!

Yan Jie simply couldn’t believe what she was seeing.

This had to be fake.

That trash Su Xiaoxiao and her shitty Black Egg Fried Rice-

How could that possibly make Ghosts start brawling because they couldn’t divide it evenly?!

Reality, however, slapped Yan Jie hard across the face.

All of a sudden, Yan Jie’s soul seemed to be sucked right out of her. She collapsed to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut.

“Weren’t you the one who said her cooking was trash? Then what is all this in front of me? Grandpa, is this what you meant when you said I’d have a guaranteed win?”
