Chapter 239 - 240: The Excited Big Female Monkey
"And I made more money that way!"
She wasn’t the least bit embarrassed. In fact, she was quite self-righteous.
Su Nian had no desire to look at her proud, almost boastful display, and simply asked out of curiosity.
"Then why were you killed?"
Her expression changed, the pride from before vanishing as she grew agitated.
She didn’t want to answer, but she didn’t dare refuse Su Nian’s question.
She could only say in a low voice, "I was streaming with a beauty filter, so I looked gorgeous. I didn’t see anything wrong with that. Besides, I was planning to get plastic surgery to match the filter later, so it would all work out."
"But then this guy kept insisting on meeting me. I didn’t want to at first, but... but he offered way too much money."
[Sigh, I can probably guess what happened next.]
[Did your top donor see how ugly you were in real life and kill you in a fit of rage?!]
[Sigh. Serves you right, to be honest.]
Su Nian had thought the same thing, but a closer look revealed that the female ghost had died of natural causes.
"How did you die?"
Hearing Su Nian’s question, the anger on the female ghost’s face became even more pronounced.
"I’m actually a really straightforward person. When he insisted on seeing me, I really couldn’t say no, so I had a video call with him."
After a moment’s thought, she added emphatically.
"I’m a truly honest person. When we had the video call, I didn’t even put on any makeup. I figured since he’d spent so much money, I really didn’t want to deceive him anymore."
[When you put it that way, this girl is actually pretty sincere, huh.]
[Yeah, now that you mention it, it sounds like the guy was in the wrong. You were honest with him, so how could he kill you?]
[Probably a dispute over money.]
Su Nian glanced at the soundly sleeping boy, then back at the female ghost’s indignant face.
For a moment, she was at a loss for words.
"My top donor... he’s a really good person. He actually wasn’t disgusted by me, though he didn’t want to meet me anymore."
[Hahahaha, what did I tell you?]
[So who on earth killed her?!]
[Don’t tell me it was the plastic surgeon?]
"But he gave me a sum of money and told me to get the surgery. He said I could come see him after I recovered. I was so moved I could have died. But I never expected it... the day before my surgery, I got so excited that I couldn’t catch my breath, and I died!"
[Case closed...]
[No murder. She just expired on her own.]
[I don’t even know what to say to that.]
"I was so frustrated I could just die! I wanted to become beautiful so badly, I did everything I could for it, and then an accident like this happens!"
As the female ghost reached the end of her story, she couldn’t help but start crying emotionally.
Su Nian now understood the path that led to her corruption and offered a summary.
"Because of the way you died, your resentment couldn’t dissipate, turning you into a vengeful spirit trapped in the mortal world. So why did you decide to harm this man?"
The female ghost, who was in the middle of a sorrowful cry, froze. Her tone then turned sour.
"It’s his own damn fault! It was already pitiful enough that I died so young, but when he saw my picture online, he spent over an hour complaining about me to his friends!"
"A grown man, nagging on and on, all about how ugly I was. He even had the nerve to critique my dancing! Pfft!"
Su Nian nodded. "So that’s why you took revenge on him?"
Remembering that she was, after all, a ghost, the female ghost’s tone couldn’t help but become subdued and humble again.
"Master, I was wrong. I know I shouldn’t have done it."
But Su Nian shook her head, her tone calm.
"It’s fine. He deserved it. For a man, he’s far too preoccupied with gossip. This misfortune is his karma."
"I’ll send you to be reincarnated. I hope you have better luck and are born a beauty next time."
Su Nian glanced at the boy, then turned back to the female ghost and said.
"Ah? Really? That’s wonderful! You’re so beautiful and kind, gorgeous and..."
Before the ghost could finish her thanks, Su Nian swiftly sent her on her way.
Then she picked up her streaming equipment and advised her viewers.
"I hope everyone can be mindful of this issue. It’s easy for people to accumulate negative karma through their words. Be careful not to stir up trouble or talk behind others’ backs. Be mindful of how your words affect others, and remember that your words can bring you trouble."
[Mhm, mhm, I have a habit of talking badly about people! I won’t dare to anymore.]
[Seriously, you should be careful. One time I was careless with my words, and my manager overheard and thought I was unhappy with him. He fired me.]
[My mom is always arguing with people, and now she gets canker sores all year round.]
Su Nian wasn’t looking at the live comments anymore. "Alright, I’m heading home now. I’ll start the giveaway once I’m back!"
Seeing that it was still early, Su Nian decided to do her usual giveaway stream.
She had just gotten home and tidied up a bit.
Su Nian sat down in her room.
"Same old rules. Only my followers can enter the giveaway, ’kay? I’m dropping the first lucky bag now."
Su Nian was fast. She had barely finished speaking when she launched the giveaway.
But the viewers’ reaction speed was not to be underestimated. A winner was decided in a single second.
[Congratulations to ’Excited Big Mama Monkey’ for grabbing the host’s lucky bag.]
Su Nian looked at the winner, whose profile picture perfectly matched their username, and for a moment, she didn’t know what to think.
The viewer’s profile picture was a black gorilla with a huge, happy grin, and perched on its head was a bow.
[That username... you can tell they’re a total savage.]
[Hello there, Excited Big Mama Monkey. I’m ’Innocent Little Pony Monkey.’]
[With that profile pic, I can’t even tell if this time’s unlucky soul is a man or a woman.]
Su Nian sent a private message. Several minutes later, she received an "OK" in reply.
Starting the video call, Su Nian invited "Excited Big Mama Monkey" to join.
Unexpectedly, behind such a wild username was a fair-skinned, shy young woman.
She seemed completely at a loss, and a blush crept up her face.
"H-Host, hello... I’m Excited Big Mama Monkey..."
"Ah, no, that’s not right. Hello, Host. You can just call me Xiao Yu. I’m... I’m not a monkey."
The moment she said that, it became even more awkward. Her cheeks flushed bright red, which only made her look cuter.
[Oh my god, that’s not Excited Big Mama Monkey, that’s my little darling.]
[Sweetheart, come give us a kiss.]
[You guys are such creeps. She’s clearly my baby, okay?]
Su Nian smiled and nodded. "Hello, Xiao Yu. Please pay the divination fee first."
Xiao Yu hurriedly paid the divination fee, then rubbed her face shyly. "Host, I don’t really have anything I need a reading for. I just got super lucky and won on my first try. Could you just... take a look for me? Whatever you see is fine."
Su Nian nodded and was about to speak.
But just then, a head suddenly leaned into the frame from behind Xiao Yu.
"Honey, who are you video-calling?"
Su Nian’s eyes instantly snapped to the man.
’This man is bad news.’
