Chapter 229 : Petty Ghosts are Hard to Deal With 11 (2/2)

“Slut, you dared to run!” Madam Qi had a surprising amount of strength; she roughly forced An Su against the wall and wrapped her up with the chains.

Shi Sheng simply stood in the corner again and watched as An Su was tied up once more. She couldn’t help but facepalm speechlessly.

‘The FL’s combat ability is really… I guess all the combat ability goes to the ML in these types of novels…’

Shi Sheng drew her sword and swept it past the chains hanging on the walls, causing a clinking noise to ring madly throughout the basement.

Madam Qi halted. “Who?!”

The only reply was the constant rattling of chains.

“Stop acting so mysterious! Show yourself!” Madam Qi’s gaze frantically probed into the darkness. But there wasn’t the slightest amount of light in here; she wouldn’t have seenher own hand if it lay before her eyes, let alone anything else. She couldn’t help but start trembling.

“Well? Aren’t you going to run? What? Are you waiting for me to carry you out with an eight-man sedan[1]?” Shi Sheng’s voice travelled to An Su’s ears.

‘Although I really shouldn’t be picking flaws with your phrasing right now… Aren’t eight-man sedans supposed to be used in weddings?’

An Su took a deep breath before forcefully kicking Madam Qi in the stomach and running swiftly towards the door once more.

This time, she easily opened it, but what she saw outside made her stop in her tracks. ‘Are those… dogs?!’

Two large hounds half the height of a human were lying down in the middle of a narrow pathway. Upon hearing the commotion from the door, they lifted their heads as one. Seeing that it was a human, they both stood up, bared their teeth, and growled. Their ferocious gazes caused An Su’s scalp to grow numb.

‘Dogs ahead, a loony behind… Where am I going to run?’

Shi Sheng had appeared in front of her at some point, and was currently looking at her with a speechless expression.

“Ghost-jiejie! Help!” An Su didn’t care about dignity anymore as she cried out to Shi Sheng for help. ‘Ghost-jiejie is very powerful! I have to tightly hug her big thigh!’

Shi Sheng turned around and walked back with her sword in tow. The hounds, sensing danger, immediately turned to bark madly at the floating sword. Unfortunately, Madam Qi finally caught up.

She immediately lunged towards An Su with a vicious expression, “Bitch!”

An Su gritted her teeth. ‘Fuck it! At most I’ll die! I’ll still be a pretty lady 20 years later!’

She sprinted towards Shi Sheng. When humans faced the threat of death, they’d somehow always manage to find that one last burst of energy for a final attempt to survive. An Su managed to dodge the hounds and safely reach the other side.

Without needing Shi Sheng to remind (insult) her, she wisely ran towards the light coming from outside.

Shi Sheng only used her sword to distract the hounds, but didn’t attack them. Once An Su was past them, she kept her sword and flew towards the exit at a speed much faster than An Su could run.

“Ghost-jiejie, wait for me!” An Su broke the record for her fastest running speed in her whole life. Once she’d escaped the basement, she hurriedly slammed the door shut and placed a sizable rock onfor good measure.

Only then did she sit down and pant.

‘I nearly died back there. Too close!’

“Ghost-jiejie, thank you!” An Su exclaimed as she wiped away thestream of tears and snot on her face. “If it wasn’t for you, I would’ve died already! Ghost-jiejie, you’re a good person!”

The Shi Sheng who had been issued the ‘good person card,’ “You’re thinking too much. I just wanted to see how dumb you could be.”

‘I(bbb) don’t have the time to be Lei Feng[2]! This is all for the sake of ensuring the ML will never have his feelings reciprocated! Of course I can’t let him save you, otherwise you’d definitely fall for him!’

“Ah?” An Su stared at Shi Sheng in a ditsy, but slightly cute way.

“Idiot,” Shi Sheng loftily spoke.

The ‘idiot’ An Su, “…” ‘Am I really that dumb?’

[1] I think it’s also known as a bridal sedan.

[2] The man who may or may not have existed. The CCP made him out to be a sterling role model who’d do anything to help his country and countrymen.
