Chapter 442: Chapter 444: Gu Sorcery
Just like that, Su Nian exposed the darkest method of all—one that had actually been put into practice.
Especially when she saw Su Nian’s eyes fixed right on her.
Growing more flustered, she instinctively turned her head away.
As if she were trying to hide something.
After a moment, her tone softened slightly.
"Host, I’ve seen your streams. I know you’re famous and have real skills, but you must be mistaken about this."
"I understand you’re excited to see a celebrity, so you misspoke. I can accept your apology."
Yu Xin turned her head away, her eyes betraying her panic. She didn’t want to admit that this strange host had used some kind of Demon Art to trap her, making it impossible to leave the stream.
Yu Xin, who had just been so arrogant and overbearing, couldn’t help but bow her head now.
She looked up, giving Su Nian a meaningful glance, hoping she would get the hint.
’If she just gets me through this, I’m willing to buy my way out of this.’
’She’s just an internet celebrity. The amount of money I can give her would keep her happy for a very long time.’
Su Nian’s expression was placid, as if she couldn’t comprehend the plea for help in the other woman’s eyes.
"I appreciate the compliment, but don’t look at me like that. Otherwise, I might think you’re asking me for a favor!"
Su Nian’s tone was flat. She lowered her gaze, a faint, unreadable smile on her lips that instantly infuriated Yu Xin.
[Yeah, the host isn’t wrong. Why is she suddenly trying to suck up to her?!]
[Seriously! That wasn’t her attitude a minute ago!]
[What do you guys know? Xinxin just doesn’t want to drag this out. It would be bad for this trashy streamer!]
[Ooooh, looks like we hit a nerve with your master, huh?]
Yu Xin’s eyes darted around, unable to focus. ’There’s something seriously wrong with this bitch. Is she really going to expose everything?’
Seeing Su Nian remain silent, Yu Xin’s heart sank, and her guilt intensified.
’She’d never watched these kinds of streams before. She’d always held herself high above them, believing there was a world of difference between a real star and an internet celebrity. What was there to see in some trashy streamer? Just a waste of time.
’But this person seemed different. From the comments, she could tell this streamer was the real deal.’
Recalling the comments that praised her superb fortune-telling and uncannily accurate predictions, Yu Xin cleared her throat, her attitude softening a little more.
"I’ve never done anything to offend you, so why are you saying these things? We can talk this over calmly and see if there’s been some kind of misunderstanding."
Yu Xin forced a smile, but inwardly she was seething.
’Ever since she started using *that* method, she had never been so humiliated online.
’Before, if anyone dared to say a single bad thing about her, her fans would swarm them and tear them to shreds online.
’They wouldn’t listen to reason or logic; they just attacked on her behalf.
’But that tactic didn’t seem to be working now. There was something seriously wrong with this bitch’s stream. A lot of her fans were actually starting to calm down instead of attacking like they usually would.’
Su Nian saw that even now, Yu Xin’s eyes were still darting about as she plotted her next move.
A cold glint flashed in her eyes. "If you have nothing to hide, then stop being so evasive. What, are you afraid I’ll break your Gu Technique?"
In the end, Yu Xin was simply acting out of a guilty conscience.
Su Nian’s expression grew even more amused. The moment she heard Su Nian call her out, Yu Xin completely lost the courage to look at her.
[????]
[What Gu Technique?]
[Oh yeah, that actually makes sense. Isn’t her family from that one region? I heard that people there knowing the Gu Technique is a real thing!]
[Just look at her reaction. I knew it. She’s done for!]
[I’m sorry, Host! I shouldn’t have doubted you!]
[Doubt the host, believe the host, love the host!]
Unwilling to meet Su Nian’s gaze, Yu Xin turned her head away and retorted fiercely, "This is a society governed by law! What nonsense are you spouting?!"
Su Nian didn’t look at her either. As her slender fingers moved, as if performing a calculation, a flicker of surprise appeared in her eyes.
’To have a face like that, yet have a mind so venomous and vile.’
