Chapter 301 - 303: Clipping Nails
The girl on the windowsill was already scared to the point of wailing. She had felt something was wrong since that morning.
She had gotten in line early, ready to see the famous master.
She never expected that, after getting incredibly lucky, the master would come to her home for free.
But this was the situation at home. ’This ghost isn’t going to bite the master to death, is it?’ The more she thought about it, the more terrified she became.
That wasn’t even the most important part. She then realized that after killing the master, the ghost’s second target would surely be her.
Trembling, she was terrified. ’She wanted to live, not die!’
[Holy crap! This is making me shake.]
[How many seconds do you guys think it’ll last against the streamer?]
[I’m guessing three seconds!!]
[Don’t be so sure. What if this ghost is really vicious and the streamer messes up?]
[Crash and burn?! The streamer would never crash and burn. She’s the one who *causes* the crash!]
Su Nian watched with a cold expression as the strange, contorted figure approached. Then, she slowly pulled a nail clipper from her bag.
[A nail clipper? What’s that supposed to mean?]
[Looks like the streamer is about to show off her god-tier moves again.]
[I don’t get it. This just feels idiotic.]
[Is this streamer an idiot? Shouldn’t she be taking out talisman paper and stuff?]
[Yeah, really! Other streams have Peach Wood Swords and stuff. This one looks unprofessional at first glance!]
Some of the netizens who had just joined the stream for the first time were already starting to pass judgment.
Due to Su Nian’s meteoric rise in popularity, many copycat influencers had already appeared on the platform.
However, these imitators lacked both Su Nian’s heaven-defying looks and her outrageous power.
Many of them presented themselves as masters, but in reality, they just set up their own contraptions, pretended to encounter a ghost, and then pulled out things like Peach Wood Swords and talisman paper. They would wave them around a bit and recite a few incomprehensible spells.
They’d pretend they could vanquish demons and exorcise devils. But these people had a fatal flaw: they didn’t dare go to a real haunted location.
They usually just sold talisman paper online, but even so, their sales were quite good.
There were some slightly more legitimate ones who might use things like black dog’s blood. However, their streams were easily banned the moment anything even slightly unconventional or illogical appeared.
They would be hit with a ban. As for why Su Nian wasn’t banned...
It was purely because the platform Su Nian was on could even be said to have been made popular by her.
For a superstar like Su Nian, the platform not only didn’t dare to ban her, but they had to treat her like royalty.
Besides, the boss behind the platform also knew Su Nian’s true identity.
At that moment, Su Nian, with a cold expression, pulled the sharp nail clipper from her bag.
’What a pity. This was her absolute favorite one. She’d heard it was a limited edition from that brand.’
’The diamonds embedded on it were all real. It had cost her tens of thousands.’
Su Nian remained expressionless, watching as the woman’s long, sharp, black nails slowly reached for her heart.
The nails were very long, even starting to curl. In the crevices of the nails, there were even some shreds of flesh hanging off.
"Bloody" and "horrifying" were not an exaggeration to describe the female ghost.
But just as her hand reached out, Su Nian snatched it.
Su Nian appeared slender and delicate, but the strength in her hand was terrifying.
With just a light squeeze, she had the female ghost completely immobilized. The female ghost tried to move again, but Su Nian had already taken out her nail clipper and, with a SNIP, SNIP, began to clip the ghost’s nails.
[That’s our Heavenly Venerable Bailian for you!]
[The streamer’s moves are truly godly! Clipping a female ghost’s nails—who even thinks of that?!]
[Holy crap! I’ve learned something new again.]
[No way, no way, how can this be so fake! This female ghost must be a hired actor.]
Some people remained unconvinced, even though they could feel a strange, sinister chill when they saw the female ghost.
They dismissed it as a psychological effect and, instead, more viewers began to question Su Nian.
[What do you mean, hired actor? Believe it or not, the Heavenly Venerate will smack you in the face!]
[Is this person a paid hater?]
[Definitely a hater!!]
[If you don’t believe it, fine, but to say our streamer is faking it! Use your brain, will you? If you don’t understand something, can’t you just look it up online?]
Meanwhile, the female ghost, whose hand was caught by Su Nian, was also stunned.
In her eyes, her nails had been just a hair’s breadth away from this woman’s heart.
’Just a little more, and she would have been able to rip that heart out whole and feed it to her child.’
’It was her baby’s favorite snack.’
’But her usual, foolproof move... why did it fail now?’
Her expression was strange. Even with her wrist caught by Su Nian, her fingers were still twitching restlessly.
But in the next second, she watched in horror as the woman actually took out a nail clipper.
The nail clipper was shiny and sparkling with light. ’But none of that mattered. Why was this nail clipper... now clipping her nails?’
The female ghost froze. You could see the confusion and bewilderment on a ghost’s face.
But what followed was the CLICK, CLICK sound of her nails falling off.
It had to be said, Su Nian’s nail clipper was truly fast. In just a few snips, she had clipped off all the female ghost’s nails.
The female ghost was a little dazed. After confirming her nails had been clipped, she brought her hand up to her face.
It was still the same deathly pale color, still the same bloody, mangled vibe.
But why were the sharp, fang-like nails gone?
She looked at her palm, then at her arm. For a moment, she couldn’t accept this strange hand.
She was bewildered, but the live chat was already exploding with laughter.
Many of the new viewers had been brought up to speed, and some had already gone to search for Su Nian online.
They now returned with looks of utter shock on their faces.
[So this is the Heavenly Master they’re all talking about online! I thought it was fake!]
[I’m dying! Look, quick, look at the female ghost’s expression!]
[Even the female ghost is scared! What kind of normal person clips a ghost’s nails?]
[She’s for real, I’m crying!]
[This is why the streamer is the best. On other supernatural streams, all you see are people peddling talisman paper. The streamer’s hands-on approach is so much more satisfying to watch.]
The female ghost was still bewildered, unable to process what had happened, when Su Nian grabbed her other wrist.
That familiar CLICK, CLICK sound rang out again. Then, she watched as her long, black, curling nails fell to the ground, piece by piece.
How to describe it... the feeling was both familiar and strange, even making her feel dazed for a moment.
’Where am I? Wasn’t I trying to kill someone?’
’That’s right! She was going to dig out that heart to nourish her precious son!’
But now, her eyes were filled with confusion. She looked at her deathly pale hand. ’Yes, this is my hand!’
A good while later, even after Su Nian had finished clipping the nails on her other hand, she was still in a daze.
She still hadn’t snapped out of her confusion. She looked down at her palm, then at the back of her hand.
Finally, after she had been staring for a while, a rumbling in her stomach reminded her of her purpose.
’Her nails were supposed to rip open this woman’s heart! Why was she just held here while her nails were clipped?’
After clipping her nails, Su Nian leisurely pulled a sanitizing wipe from her bag.
She even remembered to add a word of advice, "Remember to practice good hygiene. Your nails are too long, they’re not clean."
