Chapter 410: Chapter 412: Neck
"Little miss, I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to, I was just curious!"
Her attitude was utterly servile. Having been dead for many years, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call her an ancient monster.
But looking at this unfamiliar little girl, she knew full well what she was up against, and a cold sweat broke out all over her.
’What kind of normal little girl acts like this, picking up a train car and swinging it around like nunchucks?’ As she thought this, she glanced at Su Nian and the long pole she was holding.
’If I’m not mistaken, she just ripped that off the carousel a moment ago.’
’What kind of little girl does something like this?!’
’Especially with a bunch of ghosts skewered on it!’
’I’ll be lucky if she doesn’t eat me.’ The old woman carefully backed away, waiting for the right moment to bolt.
’The intel was bad! She’s no helpless, tasty little morsel—she’s clearly a demon running wild!’
The old woman grew increasingly tense, but Su Nian’s expression remained all smiles.
"Why are you running? I’m not going to eat you!"
At this, the cold sweat on the old woman’s forehead beaded even more furiously.
’Not going to eat me?’
’I doubt it’s that simple. She probably won’t just eat me, she’ll roast me alive first.’
The old woman’s expression grew increasingly rigid. All she wanted to do was run, but as Su Nian continued to walk toward her, she secretly began to gather her strength.
’There was no way she’d let herself be completely overpowered like this.’
The old woman made up her mind. ’This little girl may be strange, but what’s there to be afraid of?’
’If she dares to try anything, I’ll just have to kill her!’
With her resolve set, the old woman watched as Su Nian drew closer, one step at a time.
Just then, the old woman’s form suddenly changed. Her neck stretched to an incredible length, and her expression twisted into a monstrous sneer.
Her neck snaked around to appear right in front of Su Nian, and then she performed a hair-raising maneuver.
The old woman’s neck was like a giant giraffe’s—long and elastic.
It instantly caught Su Nian’s attention.
Her head popped up right in front of Su Nian. It was a horrifying and bizarre sight; a normal person would have fainted from fright.
But Su Nian was different. Her eyes curved into crescents, a bright glint in their depths, as she offered a lethally sweet smile.
It was a lovely expression, but in the next instant, she seized the grotesque neck that had coiled around her own.
With a squeeze of her hand, she had the old woman’s neck firmly in her grasp. The tables had turned in an instant.
Su Nian, on the other hand, began playing with the old woman’s head as if it were a yo-yo.
’This old woman is actually quite gifted,’ Su Nian mused. ’A neck that can stretch like this is a rare sight, even in the Ghost Realm.’
’And it can even spring back without snapping completely.’
Su Nian tugged on her neck, testing its elasticity.
She started swinging it in circles, casting the old woman’s head out again and again like a fishing net.
And each time it was flung out, it would immediately snap back.
Every time, her body would be yanked back by the immense elasticity of her neck.
All the old woman could feel was a dizzying blur.
Her body was far one moment and near the next, but her head remained firmly in Su Nian’s grasp.
She began to panic. ’I haven’t even used my ultimate move yet! How did I get forced onto the defensive like this?’
But before she could truly panic, Su Nian set her sights on the Ferris wheel up ahead.
She had a new target.
There’s a little legend that says if a couple kisses at the very top of a Ferris wheel, they’ll be together forever.
But this particular Ferris wheel had nothing to do with romance.
The occupants of each car weren’t people—they were ghosts!
And in the car at the very top, Su Nian could clearly make out a dark figure, standing silently.
It wore a savage grin, standing in the car as if certain Su Nian couldn’t touch it. Its laughter grew even more unrestrained.
’He thinks I can’t touch him just because he’s on the Ferris wheel.’
