Stranger Danger

Chapter 632: Ugly People Are Prone To Ugly Business

He had to admit that it was an enticing prospect though. If an opportunity really presented itself, should he join in on the fun as well?

“Yawn...”

Ye Qing was calculating the plausibility of a heist when suddenly, the entire Hill of Services trembled. It was followed by a massive yawn that resounded throughout the hill like a thunderclap.

The next moment, a furious roar broke out, “What is it this time, Xi Duoduo?!”

The voice was young, feminine, and sweet, but its content and volume were anything but. It was so loud that even Ye Qing’s ears were shaking a little.

His demonic thought told him that the Hill of Services seemed to have come alive. Literally. The roofs and walls were squirming and bulging here and there until it formed an angry human face.

It looked quite intimidating to say the least.

The roof slowly split open, and a young girl jumped out of the crack. She landed right in front of Xi Duoduo.

The girl looked to be five or six years old. She was wearing a red dress and a pair of braided pigtails. Her cheeks were round and puffy, and her pupils looked as black as the night. She looked both cute and innocent.

Right now though, the girl looked very, very angry. Her cheeks were puffed up so much that it looked like her mouth was full of food. As soon as she landed in front of Xi Duoduo, she immediately raised her little hand and—

SLAP!

The slap was so loud and crisp it could be heard throughout the Popularity Tower. Ye Qing’s mouth twitched as he gasped. Xi Duoduo was quite the big man, and yet the little girl had sent him spinning three hundred and sixty degrees in one slap. Talk about ferocity!

The good news was that the slap had snapped Xi Duoduo out of his unusual state. The moment he awakened and saw the young girl, he immediately exclaimed in surprise and joy, “Bunbun!”

“Bunbun your butt!”

Before Xi Duoduo could finish, the girl put one hand on her waist and pointed the other at Xi Duoduo’s face, yelling, “I lent you my body so you can open your stores and do your business, and this is how you repay me?”

“It’s bad enough I can never get more than two or three days of peace because of your business, but it’s like you’re a shit stirrer who can’t stop stirring up shit! Every once in a while, I’ll have to wake up and deal with this kind of nonsense! Why can’t you let me have my beauty sleep? Why can’t you let me grow taller in peace?”

“I er...”

Xi Duoduo looked embarrassed, but the girl interrupted him before he could finish, “You, what? Am I wrong? What did I do in my past life to deserve this? Past me must have been fucking blind to choose you to be my partner!”

The girl was on fire. Ye Qing was surprised Xi Duoduo hadn’t burned into a crisp considering how badly the girl was flaming him.

“Ahem... you’re right. You’re totally right.”

Xi Duoduo hung his head like she was the girl’s grandson while saying awkwardly, “But can we talk about this after we deal with the hand, Bunbun? At this rate, the consequences would be unimaginable.”

Still, the girl did not relent. “Oh really? I thought you didn’t know that! I told you to keep the cheap goods and lowly bitches out of my body, but no, you just can’t help yourself, can you? Now that you’re in trouble, you’re relying on me to bail you out again? Tell me, was I your nemesis in your previous life? Is that why you’re trying so hard to make my life a living hell?!”

“Bunbun, please, it won’t be long before the contamination is irreversible. I’ll let you yell at me as much as you want once the danger is resolved, so please...” Xi Duoduo begged.

“Hmph! Worthless man.” The girl shot him one last glare before turning to look at the man still hugging the hand on the stage.

The man was currently caressing his own face with the hand and mumbling gently to himself, “You’re mine. No one can separate us. No one.”

If the hand wasn’t a hand, it would have been a loving sight. As it was, it only sent chills up everyone’s spine.

“Poo! Who are you putting on a show for, you fuckwit? So disgusting!” The girl put her hands on her waist and yelled.

Seemingly hearing her yell, the man slowly raised his head and stared at the girl with madness and bloodthirst swirling in his eyes.

“Whatcha looking at, fuckwit? Yes, I’m talking about you! You think anyone here wants to see you hugging a rotten hand? Blech!”

The girl continued ferociously, “Stop looking at me, or I’ll beat you so hard your own ma wouldn’t recognize you!”

The man growled, “You shall not insult her. I will kill you.”

Blood streamed down his cheeks and transformed into blood snakes when it hit the ground. They then slithered toward the girl and pounced at her vital spots.

“You think you can kill me?”

The girl didn’t even look at the blood snakes. She took one step forward, and the unnatural creatures exploded into bits just like that.

“Ahhhh!”

The man let out a low growl and rushed the girl himself. In response, she harrumphed and waved her hand in his direction, knocking him back even faster than when he was charging. He slammed hard against the wall at the far end before sliding slowly to the ground, limp and motionless.

It was clear that the impact had completely shattered his already damaged bones and blood vessels.

“Hmph hmph! I can’t believe you think you can actually kill me. Who do you think you are?”

The girl harrumphed scornfully as she looked down on the dying man.

The man’s downfall seemed to anger the hand. It slowly floated into the air and unleashed some sort of terrible power.

In Ye Qing’s senses, a woman wearing a palace dress was floating where the hand was. Her shape was indistinct, and he couldn’t see her face. Despite this, he still lost control and felt an inexplicable yet irresistible attraction toward her. He felt like he was facing his greatest love from his previous life[1].

If even he with the “Paranirmitava?avartin Heavenly Demon Sutra” could not suppress the sudden outburst of emotions, everyone else could only fare worse. Everyone jumped to their feet at the same time and charged toward the girl, intending to kill her.

“Who are you to get involved in our business? Sit!”

The girl ordered and waved her hand again like she was shooing a dog, and everyone landed back on their chair with a muffled grunt. For a time, no one could not move a muscle.

The moment Ye Qing fell back into his chair, Giggle—who had been hiding inside the Dragon Nursing Nest this whole time—suddenly reached out and tapped him on the forehead.

A cool, refreshing sensation spread out inside his headspace, and the anomalous energy gripping him abruptly disappeared like it never was. Ye Qing immediately regained his clarity of mind.

A few seconds later, he realized that he had somehow become immune to the energy’s influence as well.

“Thanks, Giggle!”

Ye Qing was delighted. As expected of the little Stranger, it possessed all kinds of incredible abilities.

“Hahaha!” Giggle giggled when it heard Ye Qing’s praise.

On the stage, the girl shot Ye Qing and Giggle a glance but ignored them right after. Instead, she stared at the woman and cranked up her flame meter to the max once more, “So you’re the ugly bitch who disturbed my sleep? You don’t even have a face! You must have hid it because it’s so ugly you didn’t dare to show it to anyone!”

“If you’re so ugly that you can’t even bear to show your face around, then why are you running about and causing trouble when you should have hung yourself in a dark corner where no one can see, you shameless whore? No wonder the ancients say that ugly people are prone to ugly business!”
