Chapter 184

Just as that beautiful face opened her mouth to enjoy her feast, an icy chain suddenly coiled around two of her legs, bringing Qiao Yu’s attempt to serve up his own head to an abrupt halt.

Even then, Qiao Yu’s mouth kept running. “Hello.”

The Beauty Spider narrowed her eyes. “Huh?”

She loved eating human heads and had devoured at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, of them. This was the first time she had seen a severed head that could still speak. A severed head that could speak and even greeted her was completely unheard of. The sheer novelty left her baffled.

“Why aren’t you dead?”

Qiao Yu narrowed his eyes. “Because of you.”

“What does that have to do with me?”

Qiao Yu smiled. “Exactly. What does it have to do with you?”

The Beauty Spider fell silent. “…”

After successfully talking her into submission, Qiao Yu felt considerably less annoyed about losing his head. He even had the leisure to chat. “Uh… your skin is amazing. What’s your usual skincare routine? Were you born looking like this?”

Qiao Yu kept babbling. Although Shang Yan had no idea what he was planning, he refrained from strangling the Beauty Spider on the spot.

The Beauty Spider blinked. Perhaps she had never met anyone like Qiao Yu before, because she actually answered him. “My skin doesn’t need maintenance. It’s always been this beautiful. After all, I need this face to lure lost men home… and eat them!”

Her voice rose to a shriek on the final two words, and she made no attempt to conceal her malice toward him.

Qiao Yu acted as though he had heard nothing and glanced sideways at the wall.

At some point, his body had run over to the concrete wall and was now sprawled against it, writing something.

The next second, an explosive crack split the air. Painted Skin emerged from the flames, swept her beautiful eyes over Shang Yan, and clicked her tongue in disgust.

Shang Yan fell silent. “…”

Ignoring the silent exchange between those two, Qiao Yu called excitedly to Painted Skin, “Hi~”

Grrrk. Grrrk.

Hearing her grind her teeth in displeasure, Qiao Yu could no longer smile. He asked softly, “Who upset you? Don’t tell me seeing me made you unhappy. It couldn’t be, could it? Could it? Could it?”

Painted Skin took a deep breath. She still was not used to conversing with Qiao Yu when he was nothing but a head. “Don’t misunderstand. Her face is too beautiful, so I’m jealous.”

Relieved, Qiao Yu said with feigned nonchalance, “What do you mean, her face? It’s your face now! Come on, come on. I summoned you because I found you the most stunning skin in the world! Hurry and peel it off so you can try it on.”

Painted Skin looked deeply moved. “I can always count on you, Baby Qiao Yu.”

The Beauty Spider: !!!

Watching Painted Skin approach one step at a time, the Beauty Spider finally panicked. “You can say something like that with no shame at all?!”

Qiao Yu hurriedly replied, “Of course we want her face. Quit wasting time and hand it over!”

Damn it, which of them was fighting dirtier? She could answer that herself!

-Too cruel.

-Too terrifying.

-Too adorable.

-Poster above, guess what I’m looking forward to?

-Viewers of the Live Stream Room, you’re all sick. I’m leaving. I often feel out of place among you because I’m not perverted enough.

Qiao Yu lifted his head, set it happily back onto his neck, and ran over to Painted Skin. His face was full of anticipation. “How does it feel?”

Painted Skin smoothed the new skin into place and examined herself in a small antique mirror. “Not bad. This skin never expires. Baby Qiao Yu, you’re so good to me. I’m truly touched…”

Qiao Yu smiled with relief. “There’s no need for that. I’m always good to my friends.” Then he glanced at the “spider demon,” who had curled all eight legs beneath her, and felt a little sorry for her. “Um… do you have any expired makeup lying around?”
Painted Skin gazed at herself in the mirror and lovingly stroked her smooth “new skin.” “What for?”

“For the spider. A perfectly good Beauty Spider has turned into an Ugly Spider. I feel kind of bad for her.”

The Painted-Skin Ghost sighed. “Baby Qiao Yu, you’re simply too kind. Fine, we’ll do it your way. I’ll find something for her right now…”

The Beauty Spider was utterly speechless. He called this kind?

Even shameless lies should have a limit!

In the end, Qiao Yu traded the pile of expired cosmetics to the Beauty Spider for one high-speed flight through the air.

In other words, the Beauty Spider wrapped silk around their waists and flew them across.

Elsewhere, Luo Yunmeng stood in the center of the backyard, silently sighing as she stared up at the concrete wall towering more than ten meters high.

Although they had not participated in the game, they were still unable to leave the yard.

The moment the game began, the backyard exit had been blocked by this massive concrete wall. Otherwise, who would willingly stay with these selfish streamers and little ghosts?

The remaining streamers kept casting covert glances at Luo Yunmeng’s group. After thinking for a moment, one male streamer jogged over and greeted them with a smile. “Hello.”

Luo Yunmeng glanced at him and ignored him.

Undiscouraged, the male streamer moved closer. “My ID is Long Aotian. This is my first Instance since I became a Red Name Streamer. What about you?”

Luo Yunmeng clicked her tongue irritably. “If you have something to say, spit it out.”

Even after being rebuffed twice, the male streamer did not lose his temper. Instead, he amiably warned them, “Be careful. Those little ghosts have been watching you this whole time. Their points probably can’t control you, so they may be planning to try another method.”

His goodwill had come out of nowhere. Beside Luo Yunmeng, Kong Xianya frowned at him. Anyone with such a smiling-tiger personality clearly had ulterior motives.

She wanted to warn Luo Yunmeng to be careful, but that was obviously unnecessary.

Luo Yunmeng rolled her eyes. “Thanks. Without you, I’d never have known.”

The male streamer had thoroughly embarrassed himself, and now he had no idea how to ask what he really wanted to know. He simply stood there awkwardly.

Just before Luo Yunmeng resorted to force to drive him away, a strange noise suddenly came from the massive wall blocking the backyard.

Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack.

It sounded as though something was crawling along the other side.

In the silence, everyone looked over tensely. The next second, several dark figures descended from the towering wall. Once Qiao Yu’s group landed, the Beauty Spider swiftly reeled in the strands of white silk.

Luo Yunmeng gaped at the people who had fallen from the sky. “Y-you…”

Chinnawat kicked Azim away from his death grip on his thigh, then scurried behind Qiao Yu.

While Luo Yunmeng stammered “you” over and over without managing to finish a sentence, uninhibited laughter rang out from the top of the wall. A tall figure then leaped lightly to the ground.

The newcomer held a small antique dressing mirror and stood before Luo Yunmeng, laughing so hard she doubled over.

“Hahahahaha! I can’t even look at that face! Hahahaha… What happened to you? Did you get hit by a cannon?!”

Luo Yunmeng: …Where the hell are your manners?!

She did not dare turn against Painted Skin, so she silently chose to ignore her.

Just then, the Pen Spirit jumped down from the tree in her red qipao and shoved the obstructive Painted Skin aside. “If your shallow eyes can’t stand it, then don’t look.”

Painted Skin: ??
