Why Did You Provoke Her? She Becomes the Ghost Queen After Death - chapter 76

From on high, Su Xiaoxiao looked down at the kneeling Yan Jie like a queen overlooking a supplicant.

Her voice was icy and indifferent as she spoke:

“If you have any trump cards left, use them. Otherwise, you won’t get another chance.”

In Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes, Yan Jie now was nothing more than an ant she could crush with a flick of her finger.

And when it came to ants, giving them a chance was never something a king would begrudge.

Yan Jie was deeply provoked by Su Xiaoxiao’s current attitude.

Putting on airs in front of her?!

Damn Su Xiaoxiao!

Her already bloodshot eyes turned an even brighter red, and the ghostly energy pouring off her body grew thicker and more intense.

Then her face twisted ferociously, her hands becoming claws as she launched herself straight at Su Xiaoxiao.

“Even if I die, I’m taking a chunk of your flesh with me!”

At this point, Yan Jie was already prepared to die a second time.

She didn’t regret bullying Su Xiaoxiao. What she regretted was not killing Su Xiaoxiao back when they were still in the academy.

Faced with Yan Jie’s sudden attack, Su Xiaoxiao’s expression didn’t change at all. Her bloodless lips moved slightly. “Ridiculous.”

The word had barely fallen when, just as Yan Jie’s ghostly claws were about to rake across Su Xiaoxiao’s head, her body suddenly froze midair as if someone had hit the pause button-locked in place, unable to move.

Yan Jie struggled with everything she had, but it was useless. All she could do was glare viciously at Su Xiaoxiao.

As if she were trying to devour Su Xiaoxiao alive with her eyes.

“The way you look at me still disgusts me.”

Su Xiaoxiao stared at her without expression and flexed a finger.

The next second, Yan Jie realized in horror that her body had risen, completely beyond her control, to float in midair.

Just as unease flooded her heart-

Bang!

Two explosive pops rang out!

Immediately after, a blood-curdling, ghostly scream tore through the air.

“Ah!!!”

All the ghosts turned toward the sound, only to see that Yan Jie’s two eyes had exploded.

Twin trails of blood like tears streamed down her cheeks as she howled in agony.

Her screams echoed throughout the entire third floor of the Yellow Spring Restaurant.

To the shock of both ghosts and humans alike, a hint of pleasure actually surfaced on Su Xiaoxiao’s otherwise impassive face.

Under their fearful, reverent gazes, Su Xiaoxiao pointed at Yan Jie. Then, as if controlled by Su Xiaoxiao’s finger, every time her hand jerked up or down, Yan Jie’s body would slam heavily into the floor and then float back up again.

Bang! Bang! Bang!!!

“Ah!”

“Ah!!”

Each time she crashed into the ground, Yan Jie let out another agonized scream.

And with every scream, the pleasure on Su Xiaoxiao’s face deepened.

Yet Yan Jie had no idea this was only the beginning.

Su Xiaoxiao walked up to her. At this point, even as a ghost, Yan Jie’s appearance had been completely ruined, twisted into something grotesque.

“Go on, kill me!” she snarled.

She might be blind now, but she still knew that the one standing beside her was this damned piece of trash, Su Xiaoxiao.

She would rather die quickly than endure any more humiliation at Su Xiaoxiao’s hands.

“You want to die? Heh.” Su Xiaoxiao found Yan Jie’s words utterly laughable. Her voice was frigid. “You don’t deserve the right to die.”

Before Yan Jie could say anything more, Su Xiaoxiao grabbed her left arm and tore it off by brute force.

Rip!

Black ghost blood splattered across the floor.

Yan Jie’s scream made everyone’s scalp crawl.

“Ah!!!”

Ruthlessness filled Su Xiaoxiao’s face. Using the same method again, she treated Yan Jie like a piece of hand-torn chicken, ripping off all four of her limbs.

Yan Jie was reduced to a limbless ghost pig.
By now, Yan Jie was in so much pain she couldn’t even make a sound.

Her mouth hung open as she lay broken on the floor, like a doll someone had played with until it fell apart.

Behind Su Xiaoxiao, the Ghost King phantom suddenly moved.

It pinched Yan Jie up between its fingers, opened its mouth, and tossed her straight inside, chewing down.

Almost at once, Yan Jie felt her soul being ground to pulp over and over again.

This pain-this pain was even worse than what her body had just endured.

She blacked out on the spot.

Just when she thought this was how she would die…

It didn’t last long. Soon, the agony dragged Yan Jie back to consciousness.

She was shocked to find that her vision had returned-but almost immediately, she saw endless black flames sweeping toward her.

The black flames ignited the moment they touched Yan Jie, and once they caught, they never went out.

The burning pain on her very soul wrenched a hoarse, inhuman scream from her throat.

“Su Xiaoxiao! Kill me! Kill me!”

The next second, a cold, emotionless voice sounded by Yan Jie’s ear.

“Killing you would dirty my hands.”

This was the darkness belonging to Su Xiaoxiao. Here, Yan Jie would suffer the torment of burning forever.

She could not live, and she could not die.

And the most terrifying part wasn’t even the burning-it was the endless darkness. A void with no light, ever.

“Kill me! Kill me!”

Yan Jie screamed herself raw.

But this time, Su Xiaoxiao did not answer her.

She would endure the scorching of the black flames without respite, without end.

Yellow Spring Restaurant, third floor.

All the Ghosts and people present stared at the Ghost King phantom behind Su Xiaoxiao, faces full of naked fear.

In the phantom’s hand was a black diamond-shaped crystal, and inside that crystal, Yan Jie was clearly visible-engulfed in black flames, shrieking at the top of her lungs.

Those screams made everyone present, ghost and human alike, feel their scalps crawl and their blood run cold.

Once she was done with Yan Jie, Su Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at the Two-Headed Vengeful Ghost.

Feeling Su Xiaoxiao’s gaze, the Two-Headed Vengeful Ghost instantly grew uneasy and tense.

He had already quietly asked a nearby Lesser Ghost what had happened.

Right now, he was kneeling beside Xiang Hui.

Terrified that Su Xiaoxiao would attack him in the next breath, the Two-Headed Vengeful Ghost hurried to speak respectfully:

“My king, I think I might still be able to save your friend.”

It had been mentioned before that some ghosts possessed healing abilities. When Chainsaw Blood Soul evolved to the Evil Ghost Level, the new power it awakened was exactly that-a healing-type ability.

It was with this new ability that Chainsaw Blood Soul had managed to save Su Xiaoxiao’s life.

In Xiang Hui’s current state-her abdomen pierced clean through-ghosts below the Vengeful Ghost level probably couldn’t do anything.

But in the Two-Headed Vengeful Ghost’s eyes, it was still worth trying. There was a decent chance he could pull her back.

After all, it wasn’t her head that was ruined; it was “only” a hole in her belly.

If the head were gone-if only half a head was left-then even the Two-Headed Vengeful Ghost truly wouldn’t be able to save her.

He raised both hands over Xiang Hui.

Thick ghostly energy poured out and condensed into streams of incredibly pure power.

Under that power, the gaping hole in Xiang Hui’s abdomen began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a short while, the bloody wound was gone.

The Two-Headed Vengeful Ghost, looking a bit drained, lifted his gaze to Su Xiaoxiao and said respectfully,

“I have not failed you. She should wake up in a little while.”

As his words fell, the ghostly energy shrouding Su Xiaoxiao, and the pitch-black in her eyes that inspired such instinctive terror in all the ghosts, began to ebb. Her eyes slowly closed, and then her body suddenly pitched backward.

The Five-Eyed Fierce Ghost, who was closest to her, rushed forward in alarm.

“Little ancestor!”
