Things started getting weird the moment Su Nian began sawing at its teeth.

[Ugh, why do my teeth feel so sensitive?]

[This is so hard to watch, but I can’t look away.]

[I’m feeling this way too much. It’s like she’s sawing *my* teeth.]

[This is such a strange feeling. It’s both uncomfortable and bizarre.]

Su Nian watched the blood flow from the tooth with a satisfied little smile. Then, she used the saw to cut a lemon in half and pressed the fleshy side onto the exposed dental nerve.

The sour agony was instantaneous!

A series of emotions—incredulity, disbelief, fear, trembling—flashed through the road-blocking ghost’s eyes.

Immediately, an extreme, sour pain caused its expression to twist, but that wasn’t all.

Su Nian shoved the other half of the lemon into its mouth as well.

Then she grabbed a rope and tied it tightly around its head, making sure it couldn’t spit the lemon out.

Its scream was muffled before it could even escape, followed by its face contorting from the sourness.

[Hiss... My teeth feel so sensitive.]

[?? Sorry, I didn’t realize the Living Yama was conducting an experiment. I’ll just see myself out.]

[As someone who’s had a root canal, just hearing the word "teeth" is enough to make me squirm. I’ve been feeling sick ever since she started on its teeth.]

[I had the "pleasure" of breaking a front tooth once, exposing the nerve. I can tell you, even the wind blowing on it was a bone-deep pain. And now I’m watching *this*.]

[Same thing happened to me. I didn’t even dare to open my mouth. The pain shot all the way to my ears. I thought I was gonna die back then.]

The ghost’s initial arrogance from when it was sprawled on the car had been completely wiped away. Now, it could only grimace and bear the agony.

It didn’t know how many years it had been dead, but even when it was alive, it had never cried like this.

"SOB SOB SOB SOB..."

The rope was tied around the lower half of its face, preventing it from even crying its heart out.

’Now it finally understood why this Demon had been smiling from the very beginning.’

’She was just waiting for it to take the bait!’

But that wasn’t enough. Su Nian then took a bucket of ice and a bottle of high-concentration acetic acid from the small fridge in her car.

"Let’s try these too. A triple combo for a brand new experience."

Su Nian’s smile was completely innocent. The sight of her holding the ice bucket, tilting her head with a faint smile, could even be considered beautiful and charming.

But the ghost was already traumatized. Just hearing Su Nian’s words sent it into a frenzy, and it began to twist and struggle wildly.

Its eyes had been dull and its face was covered in dark bruises, yet in that instant, its complexion seemed to flush a rosy red with agitation.

Its eyes brightened, its body regained its strength, and even its complexion improved.

Qing Huan went from timid, scared, and terrified at the start to watching the whole thing with a grimace, chugging a lot of water to calm herself down.

[You’d only dare to get half a Satan tattoo, afraid you couldn’t handle the karma of a full one.]

[The Real and the Fake Satan]

[Even Satan would bow down to her.]

[She makes Satan feel like a good guy.]

[Satan: For the first time, I feel like I’m actually a kind person.]

"Try some!"

As she spoke, Su Nian brutally pried its mouth open. And I mean pried—her technique was similar to tearing open a package.

"AAAAAAAH!!"

A squeal like a stuck pig erupted as Su Nian grabbed a handful of ice from the bucket and shoved it into its mouth.

The combination of sour and cold, applied directly to the exposed dental nerve, was an agony so intense that the ghost wished it could just die on the spot.

’This was even more unbearable than being killed.’ 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

[Viciousness Ranking:

Number 1: Heavenly Venerable Bailian

Number 2: Satan]

[Satan: You know what? I think being an Angel is pretty great.]

[King Yan: Who escaped from the Eighteen Layers of Hell and came to the mortal world?]

As a ghost, it was now experiencing a suffering worse than death—so profound that it wanted to rip out all of its own teeth.

Tears and snot smeared together, covering its entire face.

Su Nian let go in disgust, but unexpectedly, in that brief moment of freedom, the ghost started struggling wildly again.

Su Nian quickly pinned it down again, wrapping its head with the rope until it looked like a zongzi.

She cursed as she tied it up, "You like blocking the road, don’t you? How come you can’t take it anymore?"

"Blocking my damn road in the middle of the night! Who the hell are you trying to scare with this spooky ghost act? Are you blind? Did you just have to stand in the middle of the road like a telephone pole? Couldn’t you see my car coming?"

The road-blocking ghost was in agony, getting beaten by Su Nian on top of it all. It was completely dazed from the beating. Its exposed dental nerve felt like it was being stabbed with needles over and over, a pain so intense it just wanted to die right there.

[HISSSSSS!]

[So painful. I think it actually passed out.]

[Checked its eyes. That’s the look of something that’s about to die.]

It wanted to beg for mercy, but its mouth was sealed. It could only endure the excruciating pain and let out muffled whimpers.

As luck would have it, the huge commotion between the human and the ghost sent the livestream straight into the top ten on the charts.

Qing Huan had been deeply terrified ever since Su Nian started sawing the tooth.

Finally, after the foolish ghost had been "disciplined" into this state, Su Nian stopped.

A piece of talisman paper, held between her fair, slender fingertips, burst into flame without a spark. The wind blew all of the burning ashes onto the road-blocking ghost.

And it was carried away by the wind as well.

The terrified expression was still frozen on its face as it fluttered away on the wind and vanished.

"Alright, the stream is really over for today."

Su Nian got back in the car and ended the livestream.

Qing Huan was still trembling. The way she looked at Su Nian was a little strange.

"You’re so brutal."

Su Nian shot her a sidelong glance.

"Then why don’t you get out of the car?"

"Actually, you’re very gentle."

She immediately hugged her thin blanket tightly, putting on an obedient act.

Su Nian drove her all the way back, then drove to the Daoist Temple by herself the next morning.

But Qing Huan was too scared to be alone and insisted on going with her, practically dragging her along.

Su Nian had no choice but to take her.

And the first client of the day was exceptionally unique.

It was a young woman with an overwhelmingly strong scent of perfume. Before she even entered the room, the cloying fragrance was enough to make one’s eyes water.

"Hello, Master. My name is Xiao Xue."

The girl before her was dressed in extremely revealing clothes, and the large patches of exposed skin were covered in numerous tattoos.

Along with the smell of cosmetics, she also reeked of smoke and alcohol.

A girl like that could easily give people the wrong impression.

Su Nian nodded and took a look at her facial features.

Her eyes were bright, but her brows were listless, and the corners of her mouth turned down.

Most importantly, her Palace of Marriage was in chaos.

’Is she a mistress?’
