Chapter 484 - 493: I’ll Talk, I’ll Talk
The moment the words "draining luck and lifespan" were spoken, most viewers in the livestream froze.
It was as if they couldn’t comprehend it, muttering the phrase to themselves as they tried to puzzle it out.
Yu Xin’s fans, however, went rigid.
’How can we understand each word individually, but feel so lost when they’re put together?’
[What does that mean? It can’t possibly mean what I think it means, right?]
[Yu Xin was involved in something like that?]
[I knew her death was suspicious! Now she’s dead and still causing trouble for people. She must have used some kind of dark magic!]
Yu Xin didn’t want to talk. She was a prideful person who cared deeply about saving face, especially since she had been a hugely respected superstar in life.
Everywhere she went, people had put her on a pedestal. Now she was dead because she’d brought it on herself, yet here she was, looking for trouble with Su Nian.
But she hadn’t expected to be cornered and forced to confess everything she had done while she was alive. Of course, she didn’t dare.
But she didn’t dare to resist too obviously, merely pressing her lips into a pout and hanging her head low, not daring to even glance at Su Nian.
But Su Nian yanked her up again.
"Speak. Or do you need my help?"
Yu Xin made a gesture of resistance, but she hadn’t expected Su Nian to be even more ruthless than she’d imagined.
Su Nian pulled a sheet of Yellow Talisman Paper from her bag and slapped it directly onto Yu Xin.
Still a little dazed, Yu Xin was caught completely off guard. The sudden searing pain made her jolt in terror.
She let out a piercing shriek, but her cries of agony failed to stir even a sliver of sympathy from Su Nian.
Su Nian didn’t even spare her a glance, continuing to watch the comments scrolling across the livestream with a cold expression. Yu Xin’s fans, who had just been angrily cursing Su Nian, were now gradually falling silent.
No one was a fool. Seeing Yu Xin’s reaction—her silence, her lack of any rebuttal—most people now understood the truth. Only a few die-hards were still popping up in the chat, trying to make excuses for Yu Xin.
But in the minds of the majority, the verdict was already in. Yu Xin trembled, her hair scorched by Su Nian’s talisman paper until it stood on end.
Her deathly pale face, already bruised and bloodied, was now scorched black by the talisman paper.
Yu Xin was seething with hatred, especially toward Su Nian. ’Wasn’t I just trying to have a proper haunting? How could I be so cursedly unlucky as to connect with this woman?’
’Getting played by her was one thing, but then I was killed by those bastards. Now that I finally managed to become a ghost and wanted to come back and stir up some trouble...’
’I never expected she’d just pin me down and beat the crap out of me, and now she’s forcing me to spill everything that happened before.’
Even in death, Yu Xin wanted to maintain her dignity. Watching Su Nian pull out another sheet of talisman paper, she could only grit her teeth.
’It’s fine. It’s just one more. I can handle it!’
But a second later, the resolute expression on Yu Xin’s face slowly froze.
Su Nian continued, unfurling the sheet of talisman paper. Then, she reached into her bag and pulled out a whole stack.
That’s right. An entire stack!
And it was a colorful assortment of talisman papers. Su Nian tapped them lightly with her finger, casually explaining them to Yu Xin.
"This one’s a Thunder Talisman, and this one is a Fire Talisman."
"Feel free to try a few more. Though, looking at your current state, I’m not sure you’ll be able to take it."
Yu Xin’s face went sheet-white with terror. She didn’t have the slightest doubt about the authenticity of Su Nian’s talismans.
After all, she could already feel their searing heat before they even touched her. She trembled, not daring to say a word.
But Su Nian leaned closer to her. Su Nian’s face was exceptionally beautiful, possessing a powerful allure even for other women.
Yet at this moment, in the eyes of the ghost Yu Xin, that face only inspired terror. Her lips trembled as she tried to refuse, but before she could speak again...
...Su Nian picked up two sheets of talisman paper, tapping them together gently as if she were about to press them both onto her body.
Yu Xin could already feel the agony. ’If she uses both at once, I’ll really die for good!’
Yu Xin finally broke. Shaking uncontrollably and on the verge of tears she couldn’t shed, she cried out, "I’ll talk! I’ll tell you everything!"
"It’s true, I used a dark art to drain my fans’ lifespans and luck! But they were willing! They said it themselves! They said they’d do anything for me!!!"
