Chapter 227
Chapter 227
The Male Ghost asked, “Would you prefer human flesh? The Players aren’t here yet, so you may have to wait a while.”
Yun Youyou hurriedly shook her head.
“No, no, no. I think takoyaki made with octopus is delicious! Takoyaki should have octopus in it!”
Hugging her box of takoyaki, Yun Youyou fled.
After returning to her supply station, Yun Youyou soon grew restless again and ran over to see what was on her right.
She would never have known without looking, but one glance gave her a shock.
It was actually someone she knew.
The Red-haired Trendy Guy was right next door.
Yun Youyou was delighted to see a familiar face.
“Sister Yun!”
The Red-haired Trendy Guy’s eyes widened in shock as well.
The next second, he noticed the takoyaki in Yun Youyou’s hands.
He sniffed, and his mouth began to water.
Yun Youyou gave him half.
The two squatted on the ground without the slightest concern for appearances and began eating takoyaki.
Yun Youyou looked back and saw the classic rotating blue, red, and white light.
Then she looked at the shop’s name: Sexy Trendy Guy Club.
Yun Youyou: …
She silently scooted her butt farther away.
“Sister Yun, what’s wrong?”
The Red-haired Trendy Guy looked at her sudden movement in confusion.
“Nothing. This place is just too trendy. You should hang up a few more moisture absorbers inside next time.”
The Red-haired Trendy Guy swallowed the takoyaki in his mouth.
“It isn’t humid. I think it’s pretty dry here.”
They were talking straight past each other.
Yun Youyou turned to look at the sign again.
The name was so suggestive that anyone who did not know better might think it was some sort of host club.
Only when she looked inside did she realize it was merely a hair salon.
Yun Youyou asked, “What task did you set for your shop?”
The Red-haired Trendy Guy swallowed his last takoyaki ball and ran inside to bring out a mannequin head.
“My task is really hard. Players have to create a hairstyle that satisfies me.”
“That shouldn’t be difficult.”
Yun Youyou glanced at the Red-haired Trendy Guy.
Today, he wore a blue sequined shirt, ultra-skinny jeans, and the latest abidos x niko collaboration on his feet.
This was the fashionable outfit he had carefully assembled and named the Blue Enchantress.
Yun Youyou looked him over from head to toe.
Energizing!
Utterly energizing!
Coffee was nothing compared to the Red-haired Trendy Guy. One glance at him made her feel considerably more awake.
The Red-haired Trendy Guy had racked his brain to create this Game Task.
Yun Youyou thought it was easy.
The Red-haired Trendy Guy felt underestimated.
“Impossible. Very few people can create a hairstyle that satisfies me.”
Yun Youyou looked at the mannequin head in his hands.
“Then… why don’t you let me try?”
Fine. She could try.
Confident, the Red-haired Trendy Guy handed the mannequin head to Yun Youyou.
Yun Youyou carried it into the salon.
Scissors, hair dye, setting products, and other supplies had already been laid out on the table.
Yun Youyou rolled up her sleeves, ready to show off her skills.
She picked up another mannequin head and placed it in the Red-haired Trendy Guy’s hands.
“We’ll each style one. When we’re done, we’ll compare and see whose is trendier.”
Of course the Red-haired Trendy Guy did not refuse.
When it came to being trendy, he would never lose to Yun Youyou.
Yun Youyou stood before the mannequin head, ready to put on a grand performance.
She already knew what she wanted to make.
Over the next twenty minutes, Yun Youyou exceeded all expectations and completed three different looks.
She even ceremoniously covered each creation with a cloth.
Only after the Red-haired Trendy Guy finished did she yank off the first red cloth.
“Ta-da!”
Yun Youyou’s first look was inspired by a mushroom.
She shaped the hair into a mushroom with mousse, then sprayed it with dye.
“This piece is called Rainbow Mushroom.”
It was Shamate enough.
Sure enough, the Red-haired Trendy Guy liked it.
“Sister Yun, this really isn’t bad.”
Yun Youyou uncovered the second creation.
“This one is called Cluck You.”
Using her superb styling techniques, Yun Youyou shaped the hair into a chicken and sprayed it yellow.
From a distance, it looked as though a chicken were standing on top of the wearer’s forehead.
It even had a little pointed beak.
The Red-haired Trendy Guy praised it repeatedly. “Not bad. This style is certainly original.”
Yun Youyou unveiled her final masterpiece.
This was the grand finale she had poured her heart and soul into.
“This one is called Mud Butterfly.”
“Mud Butterfly?”
The Red-haired Trendy Guy examined it closely and realized the hairstyle really did resemble a butterfly about to spread its wings and fly.
“I get it. Mud Butterfly means breaking free from the mud and emerging as a butterfly, right?”
Brilliant!
Absolutely brilliant!
It was so brilliant that the Red-haired Trendy Guy’s jaw dropped.
He conceded defeat wholeheartedly.
Yun Youyou shook her head. “No. You only got half of it.”
The hairstyle still concealed one ultimate trick.
Yun Youyou felt around inside the hair.
“I’m your daddy! I’m your daddy!”
She must have pressed some kind of switch, because the hair suddenly began to speak.
The Red-haired Trendy Guy: !!!
Like someone who had never seen technology before, he walked around the hair once, twice, then a third time.
“Where is that voice coming from?”
“I put a little recording device inside the hair. Press it, and it talks.”
The hair continued speaking.
“I’m your daddy! I’m your daddy!”
It was a little noisy.
Unable to stand it, Yun Youyou reached out and turned it off again.
When she turned around, she found the Red-haired Trendy Guy kneeling on the floor.
Yun Youyou: ?
The Red-haired Trendy Guy had always thought he was the trendiest ghost in the Ghost Realm, even trendier than the Shamate.
Only today did he discover that Sister Yun stood at the very forefront of fashion.
“Sister Yun, from now on, you’re my sect leader! I want to acknowledge you as my sworn father! You must teach me the secret arts of Shamate!”
Yun Youyou said, “…You should get up first.”
Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined a hairstyle would place her on the throne as leader of a Shamate sect.
The Red-haired Trendy Guy refused to stand.
He gazed at Yun Youyou worshipfully.
“Sect Leader, please bestow a name upon our sect!”
Yun Youyou inexplicably felt a little embarrassed.
“I’m not sure that’s a good idea.”
“No! From now on, you’re our sect leader. The Ghost Realm needs its own Shamate army too!”
Yun Youyou had backed herself into a corner, so she reluctantly ascended the sect leader’s throne.
“All right, then.”
The Red-haired Trendy Guy reminded her from the side, “Sect Leader, you still haven’t named our sect.”
Yun Youyou tossed out the first thing that came to mind.
“We’ll call it the Fall Down, Sleep Right There Sect.”
“What a great name!”
The Red-haired Trendy Guy sprang up excitedly.
“Sect Leader, that name is absolutely incredible!”
“By the way, Sect Leader, what are you doing here?”
The Red-haired Trendy Guy finally remembered to ask.
“I know! You must have opened an insanely, invincibly cool shop too!”
Instead of answering, Yun Youyou asked, “What kind of shop do you think I should open?”
The Red-haired Trendy Guy answered without thinking.
“A hardware store! Power drills and stuff are so cool!”
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the nearby public restroom, and his voice filled with disdain.
“I don’t know what idiot set up a public restroom next door. Sister Yun, what do you think that moron was thinking?”
