Master, Your Wife Has Become a Super Star Through Fortune-Telling-Chapter 147 - 148: Immortal Liu

A chill crept in, and a coldness spread across her back. The air was filled with a faint, foul stench.

The cold air seemed to emanate from behind her.

For some reason, the old woman’s heart skipped a beat. This was not a good sign.

But the sweet fragrance of the peach in Su Nian’s hand soothed her nerves.

She gradually calmed down. Her muddled thoughts cleared, and she couldn’t help but stare in a daze.

She even gulped carefully before saying, "Master, that peach of yours smells wonderful!"

Her attention was successfully diverted, but it was quickly drawn back.

"Mom, Grandma’s home..."

The eerie trio of voices rang out, stunning the old woman. At the same time, three ice-cold hands gripped her arms.

They were cold, so cold it seemed to seep into her very bones.

The chilling touch made her shudder. When she turned her head to look...

Her son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter were all staring at her with bizarre expressions.

She wasn’t a fool; she knew instantly that something was wrong.

But looking at Su Nian gave her a sense of security. She had been to many famous temples, but only Su Nian gave her the feeling that even ghosts would be afraid of her.

"As expected, three poor saps."

Su Nian took an unconcerned bite of her peach.

She looked at the trio. All of them had pale faces, dark circles under their eyes, and the dull, lifeless expression of the deeply unfortunate.

But as Su Nian looked at them, it was as if she were seeing right through their bodies to something else.

Meeting Su Nian’s gaze, the old woman couldn’t help but glance back at the trio before wrapping her arms around herself.

She shivered, feeling that there was something deeply unsettling about the three of them.

Su Nian’s eyes, like jewels submerged in ice, blinked once. Then, she expressionlessly took another bite of her peach.

’This is far more complicated than I thought.’

At first, Su Nian had made her judgment based on the black aura around the old woman, and her story was indeed strange.

But now, as Su Nian looked, she saw the entire family was basically a lost cause.

Moreover, she could sense the aura of an animal.

Looking past their human faces, Su Nian saw even stranger features.

Fine, scattered scales dotted their faces. They had long, thin tongues and round eyes with vertical slits for pupils.

’A Liu Family Immortal?’

Immortal Liu, a snake that has absorbed the essence of the sun and moon. It preys on human desire, embodies it, throws the heart into chaos, and turns you into a demon.

’So how did these poor saps end up being targeted?’

Su Nian looked puzzled. This wasn’t her first encounter with an Immortal Liu; the Northeast Five Immortals were actually quite common.

In the Northeast region, the Fox, Yellow, White, Willow, and Gray are revered as the Five Immortals.

Originating from the *Records of Strange Tales of the Northeast’s Wild Immortals*, they include the Fox Immortal (fox), the Yellow Immortal (weasel), the White Immortal (hedgehog), Immortal Liu (snake), and the Gray Immortal (mouse).

Some families even worship statues of these immortals, like Grandpa Hu San and Granny Hu San. The people of the Northeast call them "Household Guardian Immortals."

But besides protecting a household, these immortals also seek revenge.

Clearly, these poor saps must have accidentally broken some taboo and were now facing retaliation.

Suddenly, a thought occurred to Su Nian.

"Have you or your family come across any snakes recently?"

"Snakes?"

The old woman was baffled. She found it strange that the master was ignoring the three peculiar people and asking about snakes instead.

"I’m terrified of those things! Besides, where would you even find snakes in the city nowadays? I haven’t seen any."

Hearing the old woman’s reply, Su Nian turned her gaze back to the face of the "poor sap" son.

Su Nian believed the old woman, but she had to ask as a matter of procedure.

"Immortal Liu is conducting business. You should stay away."

But the next second, the "poor sap" son turned his head to look at Su Nian, his tongue flicking out like a snake’s.

It was bizarre and horrifying—something that belonged to a snake, now emerging from a human’s mouth.

[Eww~ so disgusting!]

[I’m not seeing things, right? Did he just flick out a snake’s tongue?]

[I’m going to be sick. Fam, you feel me?!]
