Chapter 189 - 190: Pig Demon Possession
[Is this something I should be hearing?]
[Wow, Sister, you really don’t hold anything back!]
[A fat pig? How fat can a male model be?]
[Uh, not gonna lie, I did this for a while when I was short on cash. Uh, yeah, some of the guys aren’t great, because some of the older-sister clients have... unique tastes.]
The live comments grew more and more enthusiastic, and Sister Xu seemed to let loose as well.
"And I think my best friend is just ridiculous. Her own taste is so-so, and the guys she picks are all duds, so what right does she have to say my standards are low?"
[Maybe it’s the best friend who has bad taste.]
[I think something weird must have happened for the rich lady to come ask about this.]
"You think there’s something wrong with your best friend?"
Su Nian asked bluntly.
Called out by Su Nian, Sister Xu didn’t mind at all. She flashed a confident smile, her gaze firm. "Exactly. We grew up together, and she suddenly started acting weird. I’m sure there’s something wrong!"
Su Nian nodded, blinked, and gave a noncommittal response. "Do you have a picture of your friend? Let me see it."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Sister Xu was clearly well-prepared. She pulled a photograph right out of her bag and handed it to Su Nian.
The woman in the photo was about thirty years old, attractive and well-maintained, and exuded a natural air of extravagance.
Su Nian’s interest was piqued. She began to calculate on her fingers. After a long moment, her eyes snapped open. Her expression was strange as she raised a hand to rub her brow.
For a moment, she didn’t know how to break the news to Sister Xu.
Seeing Su Nian’s expression, Sister Xu’s heart sank. "Master, what is it? My best friend really is in trouble, isn’t she? Even though I’m always arguing with her and cursing her out, if she’s really in trouble, you have to help her!"
The moment Sister Xu considered that her old friend might truly be in danger, she completely lost her composure.
’We’ve been friends since we were kids! She’s practically family. What am I going to do if something’s really happened to her!?’
In this state of panic and fear, she fired off a volley of questions. "What’s wrong with her? Was she seduced by that male model!? Don’t tell me that model is a fox spirit in disguise—a male one?!"
"Master, you have to help her!"
The thought of her best friend being seduced by a fox spirit filled her with worry and indignation.
Su Nian’s expression grew even more peculiar. After all, the one with the problem was Sister Xu, not her best friend.
Su Nian said, "The one with the problem... is actually you."
"Ahhh!!!"
Sister Xu looked as though she’d been struck by lightning. But a moment later, she began to mutter to herself.
"So that’s what the manager meant... My friend ordered the best one, but mine was the most ’special’!"
"So ’special’ just meant the ugliest one!"
At this, the wealthy woman’s face filled with rage.
"That explains it! My friend and I grew up together. Our tastes are similar—we’ve even fought over the same man plenty of times. I couldn’t understand how her standards could have dropped so fast."
"Turns out, I was the one with the problem all along."
Sister Xu huffily chugged a glass of water.
Su Nian nodded, gesturing for her to continue.
"When I first realized something was off, I asked the people around me if my recent outfits seemed strange. And believe it or not, that’s when it all came out."
"No wonder my favorite stylist said my recent outfits made me look like a gaudy peacock. But I honestly thought I looked great!"
"At the time, I wondered if I was just too stressed from work, if maybe it was a psychological issue. But it turned out I was totally fine—my appetite was even better than usual! The only thing that was off was my sense of style. It was absolutely terrible!"
"And it’s because I got myself checked out and found nothing that I assumed my best friend was the one with the problem!"
"Master, what kind of problem do you think this is?"
Su Nian’s tone was placid. "It’s simple. You’ve been possessed by a Pig Demon."
