Free Web NovelChapter 428: Chapter 430: A Janitor?
It tried to step forward and grab Su Nian, but she immediately slapped it hard across the face.
The slap landed squarely on its face. Afterward, Su Nian casually rubbed her wrist and wiped her hand with a look of disgust.
"I didn’t realize your face was so greasy. You’re disgusting!"
Su Nian’s slap stunned the middle-aged male ghost. His face throbbed with pain, and he grew furious from the humiliation.
But then a sudden thought struck him: ’Something’s not right. Can an ordinary person even hit me?’
A sense of caution crept into his mind as he replayed the events. Su Nian hadn’t given him any time to react.
With a loud SLAP, a crystal-clear handprint had appeared on his face.
The mark from the slap materialized instantly, the five bright red finger marks perfectly distinct.
That one slap from Su Nian had actually made his face swell up.
The clear five-fingered print swelled along with it, making his red, swollen face look comical and absurd.
But it had all happened too fast. His face had met the slap before he could even process it. A chill ran down his spine, and a bad feeling washed over him.
But he immediately tried to console himself. ’That woman must just be too fast. I was careless for a moment and couldn’t react.’
Su Nian spoke again. "What’s that you’re holding? Is it a mop? Take it out and let me have a look."
When the middle-aged male ghost didn’t respond, Su Nian snorted coldly, taking her taunts to the absolute limit.
"Why aren’t you moving? Is your piece of junk too ugly to show me? Say something!"
"Answer me!"
Su Nian spoke with righteous confidence, which made the middle-aged male ghost feel even more uneasy. He couldn’t shake the feeling that the woman before him was just too strange.
’Can a normal person be this nonchalant?’
’Or have I been dead for too long? Has the world changed? Are all women like this now?’
’Most importantly, she looks to be in such high spirits. Could she just be lucky? Did she manage to avoid all the other ghosts and only run into me?’
’But the way she’s looking at me is also not right.’
This was the only ghost that was slightly smarter. He had some life experience and noticed something was off about Su Nian, but it only made his hair stand on end.
He was also humiliated and enraged. ’I’m a ghost! What right does a human have to look down on me like this?’
He opened his mouth, planning to use a mix of threats and promises to trick Su Nian. As long as she entered his enclosure, he would be the one calling the shots.
He had a faint sense that something was wrong with Su Nian.
But greed blinded him.
He looked at Su Nian calmly. He knew he couldn’t hide that thing for much longer. If she found out, the jig would be up.
’This idiot definitely won’t come with me then.’
He was still hesitating over how to persuade Su Nian when, in the next second, she simply nodded.
"Fine. I’ll go have a look at your place. I can take a break while I’m at it."
Su Nian’s voice carried an air of superiority.
Her beautiful eyes shot the middle-aged male ghost a disgusted look. She lifted her chin and then kicked him squarely.
Su Nian was extremely impatient. ’Get moving already!’
Su Nian’s voice was languid and pleasant to the ear, but the middle-aged male ghost nearly stumbled from her unprovoked kick.
’Rage!’ He glared at Su Nian. ’Just wait until we get to my territory. I’ll show this bitch how I deal with her!’
He tried hard to suppress the ominous feeling and anger in his heart, then led Su Nian toward his enclosure.
Afraid Su Nian would notice, he even made a clumsy move to shift the "mop" in front of him.
He kept his back to Su Nian. She rolled her eyes, pretending not to see his idiotic behavior.
’His reaction time is so slow. I can’t even tell if he’s doing this on purpose to show me.’
’Or is he still trying to keep up the act?’ Although there was a slight delay, not much time had passed, and they were already very close to his enclosure.
Su Nian arrived at their destination and glanced at the sign: Monkey Garden.
This enclosure was a bit different from the others. It seemed to be set apart, with some distance between it and the rest of the park.
Aside from the distance, this enclosure was just like the others, shrouded in an ominous, strange, and gloomy atmosphere.
The middle-aged male ghost smiled. "Come on, I’ll take you inside for a look."
A smile playing on his lips, the middle-aged male ghost quickly opened the gate to the enclosure.
Standing there at the entrance, he looked so kind and benevolent with his beaming smile that anyone would have thought he was a good person.
Provided, of course, that they ignored the mop he was hiding behind his back.
Su Nian rolled her eyes. "This is the dump you had the nerve to invite me to?"
Hearing her say that, the middle-aged male ghost was about to lose it. He had been suppressing his anger ever since she arrived.
Now, he wanted nothing more than to kill Su Nian, but he was still forcing it down.
He forced a smile. "Come in. Come in and rest for a bit first."
Su Nian nodded and followed him inside.
The moment she stepped into the enclosure, the iron gate slammed shut automatically, just like the previous traps.
In a flash, the middle-aged male ghost’s expression changed. His smile turned sinister, mixed with malice and smug satisfaction.
Watching Su Nian swagger in, the smile on his face grew wider.
’What an idiot. So easy to fool. She’s definitely only survived this long on pure luck.’
He set the "mop" in his hands on the ground. Only then did Su Nian get a clear look. It wasn’t a mop at all.
It was clearly a girl with a lot of hair—long, thick, and jet-black. Held upside down by the ghost, it had indeed looked just like a mop from a distance.
Remembering Su Nian’s earlier humiliation, the middle-aged male ghost’s eyes turned bloodshot.
He prepared to quickly devour this beautiful little snack.
His mouth stretched into a wide grin. But in the blink of an eye, Su Nian’s high-and-mighty expression vanished.
Replaced by an icy coldness, Su Nian kicked the middle-aged male ghost to the ground.
Then she picked up the girl’s stiff corpse and, THUMP! THUMP!, began smashing it down on the ghost.
The middle-aged ghost’s body had just toppled over, letting out a strange noise. He was quite large, and being slammed down so violently made a tremendous sound on the floor.
He felt as if his bones were about to be smashed to pieces, and his head was ringing. ’Can ghosts get concussions?’
"All that whining and moaning for so long... I was sick of you ages ago. I wanted to see if you had any treasures hidden in this enclosure, thinking there might be something good. Turns out it’s just a pile of junk!"
As Su Nian spoke, she kicked the middle-aged male ghost over.
She planted her foot on the back of his head. The middle-aged male ghost looked utterly pathetic, pinned to the dusty floor.
And to top it off, he was in such a humiliating position, with Su Nian’s foot pressing down on the back of his head.
His body was still plastered to the ground, having been forcibly thrown down in his own territory.
His body ached terribly, and the rage he had been accumulating toward Su Nian finally erupted.
