Why Did You Provoke Her? She Becomes the Ghost Queen After Death - chapter 75

The third floor of the Yellow Spring Restaurant was eerie, dim, and bone-chillingly cold.

Hundreds of Ghosts were kneeling on the ground.

The one they were kneeling to…

Was Su Xiaoxiao-floating in midair, wrapped in ghostly energy, her eyes pitch-black, a Ghost King phantom looming behind her back.

That terrifying aura that made all Ghosts tremble rolled off Su Xiaoxiao’s body in waves, one after another, like a relentless tide.

Many Lesser Ghosts and Great Ghosts were already close to their limit under that supreme pressure, feeling as if their bodies were on the verge of collapse.

But none of them dared to move. None of them dared to make a sound.

The Red-Clothed Vengeful Ghost, who had made such a domineering entrance just moments ago, was now shuddering as it joined the kneeling horde.

This Red-Clothed Vengeful Ghost was a Two-Headed Vengeful Ghost, its body bearing two heads-one male, one female.

In the entire Horror World, a Two-Headed Vengeful Ghost was a name that carried real weight.

Just a short while earlier.

It had still been on its own turf, enjoying the sight of other Ghosts kneeling to it.

It had never imagined that in the blink of an eye, it would be the one kneeling.

Because it had two heads, the Two-Headed Vengeful Ghost could communicate internally.

Right now, the Two-Headed Vengeful Ghost was anxiously talking to itself in its mind.

Female head: “Bro! What the hell is going on?! Why is there a Ghost King here?!”

Male head: “You’re asking me?! I don’t know either! I’m still confused myself! Aren’t there only five Ghost Kings in the Horror World? How did another one suddenly pop up?!”

Female head: “Look at that little pet we wanted to raise. She’s the only one not kneeling. Did she cause this?!”

Obviously, the only one still standing in the hall was Yan Jie, and the “little pet” she was talking about was naturally Yan Jie.

Just as the Two-Headed Vengeful Ghost was frantically cranking its mental CPU, trying to figure out what exactly was happening-

The only one standing, Yan Jie, suddenly shouted at the Two-Headed Vengeful Ghost in utter disbelief:

“Didn’t you two say you were very powerful?! Aren’t you Vengeful Ghosts?! As Vengeful Ghosts, why are you afraid of her, Su Xiaoxiao?! What are you kneeling to her for?!”

The instant the Two-Headed Vengeful Ghost also dropped to its knees before Su Xiaoxiao, the last psychological line of defense in Yan Jie’s heart started to crack.

From shock, to disbelief, to dread, and finally to overwhelming fear and panic.

What on earth was going on with Su Xiaoxiao now? Why was it that even the Vengeful Ghosts she had pinned her hopes on had to kneel to her?!

Why? Why did Su Xiaoxiao get this kind of treatment-and not me, Yan Jie?!

She remembered back at the academy, how that little piece of trash she bullied every single day…

That same piece of trash had now turned around and become someone that all Ghosts knelt to.

It was like some noble young lady from the old era who bullied a girl from the slums every day-the girl was supposed to stay a slum girl, yet she suddenly became a queen that all ministers bowed to. The violent reversal made Yan Jie feel a huge sense of injustice.

How could trash like her deserve this?!

The moment Yan Jie’s words left her mouth, the Two-Headed Vengeful Ghost’s overclocked CPU finally spat out a conclusion.

Well, what do you know-just as it suspected.

This little “pet” had provoked a calamity.

Both heads of the Two-Headed Vengeful Ghost lifted their eyes fearfully to the “big boss” floating above.

One glance was bad enough. At that glance, the Two-Headed Vengeful Ghost met those abyss-like, utterly black eyes.

In that instant, the Two-Headed Vengeful Ghost faintly felt as if it were about to be sucked into them. At the same time, it sensed in horror-

Its own ghostly energy was rapidly draining away!

In just a few seconds, a full tenth of it was gone!

The Two-Headed Vengeful Ghost hurriedly lowered both heads, not daring to meet her gaze again. Both heads twisted toward Yan Jie, four eyes fixing on her as two mouths snapped in unison:

“Insolent! Do we even know you?!”

“How dare you! You see the King and don’t bow! Kneel!”

With that fierce shout, a visible stream of red ghostly energy shot out like lightning and, in the blink of an eye, wrapped around Yan Jie.

Yan Jie immediately felt as if Mount Tai had crashed down onto her shoulders. Unable to bear the crushing weight, she dropped to her knees on the spot!

In the Horror World, Ghosts counted as a new race. As long as something could hurt them, they would suffer just as they had in life-take serious damage, and they would spit blood.
In that moment, Yan Jie slammed down onto her knees, and a mouthful of black blood spilled straight from the corner of her lips.

Her eyes went wide as she stared at the Two-Headed Vengeful Ghost in disbelief.

“You two say you don’t know me?! Then who was it that told me before-told me that as long as I acknowledged it as my master, it would protect me?!”

“Impudent!” the Two-Headed Vengeful Ghost roared again. “In front of everyone, don’t you dare try to claim connections you don’t have! We’ve never met you!”

Seeing how desperately the Two-Headed Vengeful Ghost was trying to cut ties with her, Yan Jie refused to accept it.

“I used the item you gave me. That’s the only reason you could come here!”

The Two-Headed Vengeful Ghost’s two mouths shot back in perfect unison, “What do you mean, we gave it to you?! I don’t even know why you have an item that can summon us! Stop barking like a dog! Bark again and I’ll rip your tongue out!”

Damn it-she was about to die and she still wanted to drag them down with her.

Absolutely vile.

The Two-Headed Vengeful Ghost genuinely wished it could hack Yan Jie apart on the spot and throw her to the dogs.

At that moment, all the Ghosts kneeling around listened to the exchange between the Two-Headed Vengeful Ghost and Yan Jie.

They were all holding back laughter.

Before the King appeared, Vengeful Ghosts did have strength and status in the Horror World.

But after the King appeared, even Blood Ghosts above Vengeful Ghosts had to kneel obediently. What was a mere Vengeful Ghost supposed to be?

At the same time, the five Evil Ghost Judges felt even more satisfied.

Earlier, someone had tried to threaten them with a Vengeful Ghost.

And now the Vengeful Ghost couldn’t wait to distance itself from her. Hah.

Yan Jie stared at the Two-Headed Vengeful Ghost, unable to believe it was saying this.

Her face contorted, like a madwoman on the verge of breaking down, and she screamed hysterically:

“You’re a Vengeful Ghost! What are you afraid of Su Xiaoxiao for?! She’s just a piece of trash with no parents-someone I’ve bullied my whole life!”

Hearing that, the Two-Headed Vengeful Ghost was just about to teach this loudmouthed scum a lesson.

Then a voice came from above-colder than a machine, colder than an iceberg.

“Enough.”

The moment the word fell, the already frigid temperature dropped several more degrees.

The Two-Headed Vengeful Ghost immediately lowered its head, kneeling on the ground and not daring to make another sound.

Wrapped in ghostly energy and radiating the ultimate abyssal aura, Su Xiaoxiao descended step by step through the air toward Yan Jie, like a queen of darkness.

Beneath her feet, there seemed to be an invisible staircase.

Yan Jie, who had always feared neither heaven nor earth, watched Su Xiaoxiao walk toward her, and a panic she had never felt before surged up inside her.

Her eyes filled with pure terror.

Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid!

Worst case, you die one more time!

It’s not like you haven’t died before!

Yan Jie told herself that, but as Su Xiaoxiao drew closer, each step felt as if it were treading directly on her soul.

At this moment, Yan Jie couldn’t stop herself from feeling fear-real dread.

Like a herbivore facing a carnivore: even if the herbivore has already prepared for death, even if it no longer fears dying,

it still cannot suppress the terror of the predator.

When Su Xiaoxiao came to a stop in front of Yan Jie-

Su Xiaoxiao looked down from above, while Yan Jie lifted her head to look up.

In Yan Jie’s pupils, Su Xiaoxiao’s figure was reflected. Behind Su Xiaoxiao, she saw bottomless darkness, and the fear in her heart multiplied several times over in an instant.

Just the day before, the two of them had been confronting each other in a classroom. Because Su Xiaoxiao was much shorter than Yan Jie, it had been like an elementary schooler facing a high schooler-no matter how fierce she was, her presence still ended up being crushed by Yan Jie.

But now Su Xiaoxiao stood while Yan Jie knelt. One looked down, the other looked up-and every pair of eyes watching Su Xiaoxiao was filled with fear and reverence.

No one could ignore the Su Xiaoxiao of this moment.

When darkness erupts, wherever it stands becomes the focal point.
