Why Did You Provoke Her? She Becomes the Ghost Queen After Death - chapter 78

Su Xiaoxiao was not very satisfied with Xiang Hui’s answer.

A warm little stretch of time passed.

In the end, the three parted ways. Both Xiang Hui and Lü Le were looking forward to seeing her again.

As for whether Xiang Hui and Lü Le could survive in this danger‑filled Horror World without Su Xiaoxiao… that would depend entirely on their own luck and ability.

Horror Space.

“Ding, game exited successfully.”

“Ding, beginning settlement for this game.”

“Ding, Main Mission: Place top five in the Culinary Team Competition. Rank achieved: First place. Completed.”

“Ding, Hidden Mission: Cook food that makes every ghost present drool. Completed.”

“Ding, rating: A.”

“Ding, last time was E, this time is A. Your progress is crazy fast! Please keep it up and charge your way to S!”

“Ding, reward obtained: Gold Chest x1, 12 free attribute points. If unused for 30 minutes, they will be allocated randomly.”

“Ding, this Horror Game livestream has ended and been settled.”

“Ding, obtained 110,000 Horror Coins.”

“Ding, Horror Coins can be spent in the Horror World.”

“Ding, settlement complete. Please keep up the good work, Player.”

Seeing that her rating this time wasn’t the usual F or E but an A instead, Su Xiaoxiao’s normally calm emotions rippled slightly.

She got an A this time-did that mean she could get an S next time? The target of SSS suddenly felt very attainable.

For a moment, Su Xiaoxiao’s thoughts were quite beautiful.

She had 12 free attribute points this time. Her Constitution was currently at normal human level, but Su Xiaoxiao wasn’t planning to put points into that.

If she raised Constitution too high, wouldn’t that just make her harder to kill?

For this round of allocation, Su Xiaoxiao put Strength +6, Agility +6.

Once the points were assigned, Su Xiaoxiao once again experienced what it meant to grow stronger the instant you add points.

As for the Gold Chest she’d received, Su Xiaoxiao didn’t hesitate and chose to open it immediately.

“Ding, Gold Chest opened successfully.”

“Ding, obtained A‑rank talent: Dark Heart.”

“Ding, obtained E‑rank item: Casual Clothes.”

“Ding, obtained special skill: You Bark x1.”

“Talent: Dark Heart”

“Quality: A”

“Type: Passive skill”

“Effect: At night, Strength, Constitution, Agility, Intelligence +3.”

“Special: When darkness descends, your attributes are enhanced by the Dark Heart. You can also see anything clearly within the dark.”

“Item: Casual Clothes”

“Quality: E”

“Type: Armor”

“Effect: Constitution +1”

“Special: A magical piece of clothing that can transform into whatever outfit you imagine. Your wish is its command. If damaged, it will automatically repair itself.”

“Special Skill: You Bark”

“Effect: In each Horror Game, you have 3 chances to make another player bark like a dog for one minute.”

To be fair, it really lived up to being a Gold Chest-the things it produced were all pretty good.

After looking through everything, Su Xiaoxiao was quite satisfied with the haul.

Dark Heart did make her stronger and harder to kill, but more importantly, it let her see clearly in the dark.

Casual Clothes was also very convenient. As Su Xiaoxiao began picturing outfits in her mind, the clothes she was wearing immediately started to change.

It did have a ten‑minute cooldown, though.

As for this last special skill, You Bark, Su Xiaoxiao thought of the Shut Up skill she’d gotten from the Bronze Chest last time.

She felt the two skills actually went pretty well together.

First make the target bark like a dog, then make the target shut up-their mental defenses would probably shatter, right?

With a thought, Su Xiaoxiao opened her Personal Information Panel.

“Player: Su Xiaoxiao”

“Title: None”

“Talent: A · Dark Heart (Not Activated)”

“Strength: 11 → 17”
[Constitution: 6→7]

[Agility: 5→11]

[Strength: 17]

[Intelligence: 5]

[Charm: 9]

[Luck: ? (+3)]

[Skill: Shut Up, You Bark]

[Items: A·Help Me Die Koi (in use), D·Red Dagger, E·Casual Clothes (in use), E·Parasol]

[Horror Coin: 290,000.]

After these few games, Su Xiaoxiao’s status screen looked completely different from before-far more filled out.

Her Strength had even reached 17 points. Arm-wrestling an ordinary musclehead, Su Xiaoxiao might not even lose now.

This time, she didn’t plan to rest for long. She was going to grab something to eat and then head straight into the next game.

At the same time…

The viewers in Su Xiaoxiao’s Live Stream Room also saw the rating settlement for this run.

When they saw it was an A rating, they were instantly shocked.

“Holy shit, am I seeing things? My girl actually got an A rating this time?!”

“Xiaoxiao baby is amazing! You have to complete a hidden mission to reach B or A. Our Xiaoxiao baby definitely cleared the hidden mission!”

“C gives a Bronze Chest, B gives a Silver Chest, and A gives a Gold Chest. What’s our girl’s Gold Chest going to open into this time? I’m so curious!”

“Honestly, I’m not surprised she scored that high. First place in the Culinary Team Competition- even if she hadn’t completed a hidden mission, I feel like she would’ve gotten a C or maybe a B anyway.”

By now, the buzz around Chainsaw Blood Soul and Su Xiaoxiao had already dropped off the national trending leaderboard, just like Death Clown.

But the heat around Lao Saozi and Su Xiaoxiao was rising again.

National trending leaderboard:

10. #Tearing up-shattering your traditional understanding of ghosts. When ghosts become gentle, what chance do humans even have!#

14. #The 404 bus-almost turned into a no-survivors scenario. The game ending is so touching!#

18. #Veteran player Jin Zhuang almost got tricked to death by a ghost. Good thing a little girl saved him!#

In the real world, inside a luxurious villa.

This was the Yan Family Old Mansion.

In the study.

The white-haired Yan Deyi sat there, his expression twisted with grief and fury.

His eldest son had died early, leaving him only one granddaughter.

Ever since she was little, he had spoiled her in every way, cradling her like a priceless treasure.

And just now, through Su Xiaoxiao’s live stream…

He had seen what kind of situation his granddaughter was in.

Hearing her screams, Yan Deyi’s heart ached along with them.

My granddaughter…

Tears glimmered at the corners of Yan Deyi’s eyes. Then he clenched his fist and slammed it onto the desktop.

“Su Xiaoxiao! Su Xiaoxiao!! You should die!!!”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

He struck several more times in a row, as if the desk were Su Xiaoxiao. Yan Deyi hit it with terrifying force.

Yan Deyi desperately wanted to bring his granddaughter back-and then tear Su Xiaoxiao to pieces.

But he was in the real world. How could he possibly save his granddaughter?!

And how could he possibly dismember Su Xiaoxiao?!

This grief and rage with nowhere to go… was this the “impotent fury” his granddaughter always talked about?

After the anger, endless pain surfaced on Yan Deyi’s face.

Son… Dad is sorry. Yan Jie-I didn’t protect her for you…

Yan Deyi had two sons and one daughter, but he loved his eldest the most. As for the younger son and younger daughter, in his eyes they weren’t even as good as someone he’d picked up off the street.

His eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law had died in a car accident, leaving only Yan Jie behind.

No one knew how long passed before the study-full of sobs and howls-finally fell quiet.

At lunchtime, a servant brought food to the study.

But when he opened the door and looked inside, there was no sign of the old master at all.

“Huh? Where did the master go?”
