Chapter 237 - 238: The Seductive Ghost Appears
The two of them swallowed hard, looking at each other in silence.
’We were so close to dying...’
The car sped down the road. After Su Nian and the boy had a quick meal, she drove to his house.
Looking around, Su Nian found a suitable spot, set up her phone, and started the livestream.
"Sorry, it’s a little messy."
Even in his own house, the boy couldn’t help but feel awkward. After all, the place was a complete mess.
Dirty clothes were piled up and shoes were scattered about. Although the room was messy, it was still quite clean, suggesting it was tidied up regularly.
As the boy spoke, he cleared a spot on the sofa for Su Nian to sit.
He even carefully patted away the dust with a towel and finished by placing a clean cushion on top.
"Streamer, please sit."
Su Nian nodded and sat down.
She had been observing the house since she walked in. She was certain there was nothing wrong with the house itself, which meant the boy must have brought the ghost upon himself.
[Gotta say, buddy, you really need to clean your room.]
[It’s not that bad. I’m a girl and my room is even messier.]
[Actually, if you look closely, even though it’s messy, the floor is mopped clean and the windows are spotless. He probably just doesn’t put his things away.]
"Alright, you can go to sleep now."
"Okay, okay."
The boy cleared off the sofa and brought out a blanket from his room.
He settled in to sleep.
But he was wide awake and couldn’t fall asleep at all. He tossed and turned while Su Nian sat nearby, scrolling through her phone.
"Streamer, was that a domineering CEO in that black luxury car today?"
Unfortunately, the boy was too restless to sleep and started trying to gossip with Su Nian.
Su Nian shot him a sidelong glance.
"Yeah, I guess."
[What? What’s this? What did I miss!]
[You guys don’t know? This kid was livestreaming smugly from the Master’s car earlier. It looked like they ran into a super fancy car, and the owner knew the Master.]
[That’s pretty normal, right? The Master’s social circle must be full of people like that.]
"So what’s your relationship? Don’t tell me he’s your fiancé!"
Su Nian: ...
Before Su Nian could answer, he moved on to the next question.
"Master, you seem like one of those high-society ladies. What does your family do, anyway?"
"I wish I were rich, too."
"Master, can you give me some advice!"
The boy’s mouth didn’t stop; he just kept rambling on and on.
Su Nian didn’t say a word. She just gently rubbed her wrists and then stood up.
The boy didn’t understand what was happening and instantly grew tense.
"Is it here? Is she here?"
But Su Nian didn’t answer him. Instead, she tapped a single finger between his eyebrows.
She applied a bit of force. The boy didn’t have a chance to ask what Su Nian was doing.
He suddenly fell into a deep sleep.
[Streamer, did you just make him fall asleep?]
[Oh my god, that’s so awesome!]
[Whoa, whoa, I wish I could do that too. It’s just like a magic trick.]
Su Nian calmly wiped her finger.
"I didn’t want to do that, but you were talking way too much. It was giving me a headache."
She sat back down in her original spot and started scrolling through her phone again.
[The streamer’s not wrong. Who could stand him rambling on and on like that?]
[Exactly! Why is a grown man such a gossip?]
Since she didn’t know when the seductive ghost would arrive, Su Nian decided to address the viewers in her livestream.
"You can type out any questions you’ve been wondering about. I’ll pick a few typical ones to answer for free."
The moment Su Nian said this, the livestream chat exploded with excitement. Many people quickly started typing out their questions.
Meanwhile, the onlookers in the chat were busy marveling at Su Nian’s beauty and kindness.
[I have a question. I get really scared walking alone at night. What can I do about it?]
[I always feel like I’m having sleep paralysis, and I have a lot of weird dreams when I sleep.]
[I don’t know why, but I always get a chilly feeling when I pass by the ground floor of my office building.]
Su Nian gave the questions a quick glance and chose the first one.
"First, about walking at night."
"I suggest that when women are alone at night, they can use a personal safety app to share their route and location with friends or family in real-time."
"If you’re afraid of ghosts or spirits, you can silently chant the sacred name of the Thunder Lord: Nine Heavens Responding Primordial Thunder Sound Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable. This will immediately resolve it and bring great fortune!"
"You can also wear vermillion to purify your aura."
[Noted! Taking notes!]
[The streamer is so genuine. I’m going to memorize that right now.]
[Me too, I’ve been recording the whole time, afraid I’ll miss something.]
Perhaps because of the immense power Su Nian had displayed, very few people in her livestream questioned her.
Su Nian continued to scroll down and found another question.
"Then there’s this one: lots of nightmares and constantly experiencing sleep paralysis. If you wake up startled from a nightmare or after an episode of sleep paralysis, you can blow a breath onto your pillow, immediately flip it over so it’s face down, and then silently recite the spell I just mentioned. That will also work."
Su Nian added, "If this has been going on for a long time, but you don’t have the means to see a master, I suggest placing a kitchen knife under your pillow. It’s best if it’s imbued with baleful energy, one that has taken a life—like a butcher’s knife or something similar."
[What the streamer’s saying is really practical. I get this a lot. Definitely learned something new.]
[Hey, my grandma used to talk about this solution too.]
[I’m gonna try it tonight. I have a knife at home that’s been used to kill chickens. I’ll put it under my pillow later.]
[But isn’t that a safety hazard?]
The viewers started arguing again over the simple methods Su Nian provided.
But at that moment, Su Nian was no longer paying attention.
At some point, a large amount of black mist had begun to pour into the room.
A light, seductive, and bewildering fragrance drifted over from an unknown source.
The seductive ghost was here!
The black mist in the room solidified, so much so that even the viewers noticed something was wrong.
Su Nian leaned back on the sofa, her gaze sweeping around the room, but she didn’t see anything out of the ordinary.
’Then where is this smoke coming from?’
The boy lying beside her furrowed his brow. Though he was fast asleep, he was now anxiously curling his fingers.
Su Nian took out a sheet of talisman paper. It was at that exact moment she saw a beautiful woman who had appeared on the sofa at some unknown time.
Her figure was faint and indistinct, making it hard to see her clearly. Her face, too, seemed impossible to make out.
She was currently holding a comb, and it looked as if she were grooming herself.
Su Nian could even hear a soft, crooning sound coming from her mouth. It seemed the seductive ghost was singing a tune from an opera.
Her face was the most unnerving part. Though her features and expression were completely obscured, one could distinctly feel her staring right at them.
Su Nian narrowed her eyes, watching the ghost’s movements. She hadn’t expected the female ghost to start moving closer and closer.
Su Nian was sitting on the innermost part of the sofa, and the boy was lying in the middle. But the female ghost was now inching its way from the far edge, getting dangerously close to the boy.
