Chapter 118

Chapter 118

Wang Yuanyou and Ji Lin weren’t the only ones at the entrance.

A huge crowd of tourists was packed around the door.

Some among them were Player, and some were NPC. It all depended on whether you could tell them apart.

Yun Youyou gave a faint smile, a trace of melancholy between her beautiful brows.

This was the new persona she had assigned herself.

A stunning single mother with a hint of sorrow.

Just thinking about it felt thrilling!

Two clashing yet extraordinarily alluring qualities gathered in the same person-it was easy to imagine how eye-catching that would be.

As a seasoned sucker for good looks, Wang Yuanyou was the first to fall.

He had long since forgotten the sight of Yun Youyou carrying a Chainsaw on her shoulder and slaughtering ghosts with her bare hands. Instead, he was completely captivated by that melancholy air she had when she lowered her head.

With deep emotion, he declared, “Sister Youyou, you’ve suffered!”

Ji Lin gave him a speechless sideways glance.

“Don’t just stand at the door. Everyone, please come in.”

Yun Youyou’s voice was warm and gentle.

She took a step back and opened the door wider, making room for the guests.

Several of the men stared until they were practically in a daze.

Honestly, when Yun Youyou wasn’t going insane, her face really was devastatingly pretty.

Lu Keke also looked up at Yun Youyou in speechless disbelief.

No. This was absolutely not his hot-tempered mother.

Yun Youyou had already walked halfway in before she turned around and realized Lu Keke was still standing motionless behind them, leaving a huge gap between himself and the group.

The melancholy in Yun Youyou’s eyes instantly turned vicious.

She warned Lu Keke with her gaze.

“What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and get over here!”

Lu Keke grabbed his chubby cheeks with both plump little hands, yanked them downward, and revealed a pair of rolled-up eyes.

He made an extremely punchable face at Yun Youyou.

Yun Youyou: …

This brat definitely hadn’t been beaten enough while he was alive. Now that he was a ghost, he was still asking for it.

Yun Youyou was not the kind of indulgent parent who spoiled rotten children.

We’re both ghosts for the first time, so why should I let you get away with it?

Without drawing attention to herself, Yun Youyou shifted from the front of the guests to the back.

The moment Lu Keke saw Yun Youyou coming over, he turned and tried to run.

But how could his chubby little feet possibly outrun Yun Youyou?

“Heh heh… Let’s see where you can run.”

One dodged while the other chased.

Lu Keke unleashed his ultimate move, Big Head Hammer, and charged straight at Yun Youyou’s stomach.

Yun Youyou sidestepped, dodging to the side, then lightly kicked toward Lu Keke’s butt.

Lu Keke cried out in surprise and hurriedly crouched down.

This was a classic case of protecting the butt and forgetting about the head.

By the time Yun Youyou realized her foot was about to kick Lu Keke in the head, it was already too late to pull her leg back.

Yun Youyou:!!!

Oh no. What if someone accused her of child abuse?

After all, a ghost child was still a child.

Everything happened so fast.

Yun Youyou watched helplessly as Lu Keke’s head fell off, then rolled across the floor with a clatter, farther and farther away.

Yun Youyou:!!!

Lu Keke only felt dizzy, his brain sloshing around like a piece of tofu.

Clatter, clatter. Lu Keke felt his mouth kiss the floor tiles.

Thud!

Lu Keke’s head seemed to have hit something hard.

He struggled to lift his eyes.

Hmm… This was a very handsome uncle.

The face-loving genes in Lu Keke’s blood began to stir. Unable to help himself, he called out, “Daddy.”

Ji Lin, who had suddenly been blessed with fatherhood, had not yet reacted. He lowered his head and glanced at Lu Keke, whose head had rolled to a stop beside his foot.
Yun Youyou hurried over and scooped up Lu Keke’s head.

“Sorry, sorry.”

By then, the tourists up ahead had also realized the proprietress had been gone for quite a while.

“Where did the proprietress go? Proprietress, where are you?”

They turned and began looking around.

Meanwhile, Lu Keke was still separated from his head, his body below the neck standing blankly in place.

Yun Youyou quickly used her own body to block him from view, then fumbled to put Lu Keke’s head back onto his neck.

“Phew… finally got it back on.”

Yun Youyou at last breathed a sigh of relief.

When she turned around again, a trace of worry had returned to her brow, the kind that made people ache for her just by looking.

Lu Keke stood dazedly beside Yun Youyou’s calf.

His tiny head was filled with enormous curiosity.

His big eyes fluttered and blinked, shining with wonder.

Why was it that the moment he lowered his head, he could so easily see his own butt and heels?

Before Lu Keke’s little brain could figure it out, a tourist on the other side pointed at him in shock and said in a trembling voice, “Why is the back of his head facing us?”

Yun Youyou looked completely baffled.

She glanced down and only then realized she had put Lu Keke’s head on backward.

!!!

Yun Youyou hurriedly blocked Lu Keke from view again and turned the head she had just attached the wrong way back around.

This time, when Lu Keke lowered his head, what he saw was finally not his heels, but his toes.

Yun Youyou explained with a perfectly serious face, “Actually, he just accidentally put his clothes on backward. No need to worry, everyone.”

“Is that so?”

The tourist scratched his head.

But he had been the only one who saw it just now, and for a moment, even he didn’t know whether his eyes had really been playing tricks on him.

Wang Yuanyou hooked an arm around his neck. “Brother, you definitely saw it wrong! How are your eyes already failing when you’re so young? All right, let’s hurry inside.”

Half convinced and half doubtful, the tourists were led into the guesthouse.

What Yun Youyou ran was a three-story seaside villa.

According to the Game’s setting, this villa had been left to her by her dead husband, and she had converted it into a seaside guesthouse with her son to make a living.

Yun Youyou handed out the room keys to the tourists.

There were eight tourists in total.

Five of them had the role of Player, and three were ghosts.

Even a seasoned veteran employee like Yun Youyou couldn’t tell which ones had the role of Player and which ones were ghosts.

Those with the Player role stayed on the second and third floors.

Yun Youyou, meanwhile, took Lu Keke to live on the first floor.

A beach villa, the sand, and the ocean.

Even when she had been alive, Yun Youyou had never enjoyed anything like this.

Lying on a lounge chair in the courtyard, she couldn’t help sighing. “So this is what it means to face the sea, with spring blossoms blooming.”

This life was way too capitalist.

The decadent corruption of capitalism was truly terrifying.

Behind her sunglasses, Yun Youyou’s almond-shaped eyes blinked.

She silently summoned the Game and whispered, “I’m thick-skinned and sturdy, especially resistant to the decadent corruption of capitalism. My coworkers are delicate and frail. This kind of job really isn’t suitable for them, so from now on, just let me handle it.”

Yun Youyou waggled her brows and eyes, dropping the hint as hard as she could.

Game: [Heh. Dream on. Your fantasies are even prettier than your face.]

After saying that, it disappeared.

No matter how Yun Youyou called for it, the Game never appeared again.

Yun Youyou took a sip of coconut juice and comforted herself. “Beautiful ghosts are always targeted. I understand how it works.”
