Master, Your Wife Has Become a Super Star Through Fortune-Telling-Chapter 38 - 40: In for a World of Hurt
The main reason was that Su Nian was just too curious. This on-the-verge-of-death act... ’Where the hell did this thing learn it?’
’How is it exactly the same as in the horror movies? Surely it wasn’t nationally standardized, as if Evil Ghosts had some kind of compulsory education.’
The Evil Ghost was furious when she heard Su Nian’s taunt.
She charged over in a frenzy, stirring up a thick cloud of resentful energy around her.
THUD...
The expected counterattack never came. Instead, Su Nian grabbed her by the neck with her bare hands.
In just two seconds, their positions were reversed. As she looked at Su Nian, she felt like she was the one seeing an Evil Ghost.
"So useless. Looks like I have to do it myself."
Su Nian tilted her neck as if limbering up, then raised a familiar palm.
With one hand gripping the ghost’s neck, she slapped her with the other.
With just one slap, the ghost was sent flying to the ground by Su Nian.
But that wasn’t enough...
Wearing a Demon’s smile, Su Nian slowly approached her.
The ghost on the floor wanted to cry but had no tears. ’Why did I have to run into a monster like this?’
She tried to use the momentum of her fall to escape, but Su Nian stomped right on her foot.
Then, after a simple stretch, Su Nian gave her another savage beating before kicking her to the ground.
She stepped on her body again, pinning her so she couldn’t move an inch.
"I’ll give you one chance. Start talking!"
Without a shred of hesitation, this kind of Evil Ghost started spilling everything.
"I’ll talk! I’ll talk! Someone wants to change their fate! That person lives upstairs! I had no choice, I’m under his control!"
After speaking, the Evil Ghost started sobbing. She had wanted to be a diligent and loyal Evil Ghost, but this really, really hurt...
Su Nian didn’t beat the ghost anymore. Instead, her hands formed a Seal, and she sent her to where she belonged.
Then she continued upward. Without the Evil Ghost’s obstruction, the rest of the way was smooth.
Su Nian soon arrived in front of a security door.
[The mastermind is about to appear.]
[NGL, I’m so nervous!]
[Help, this is terrifying! Tonight has been way too intense.]
[If the streamer weren’t so powerful, I would’ve bailed a long time ago.]
Beneath the dense barrage of comments, another wave of gifts was sent.
Su Nian looked at the door. ’I’m a model of civilization, after all. I should at least do them the courtesy of knocking.’
But the moment she raised her hand, the door opened on its own.
Su Nian walked in and looked around.
Everything seemed perfectly normal.
CREAK...
It was the sound of the door. It had closed again.
[What’s going on!]
[It really is the haunted house trilogy!]
[Getting a little nervous, fam.]
[That thing hiding now is pretty stupid. It should hurry up and come out. If it waits for Master Bailian to personally invite it, it’s gonna suffer big time.]
[Who do you guys think is unluckier: the master for meeting the ghost, or the ghost for meeting the master?]
CLICK...
The last crack of light from the doorway vanished. Su Nian was now sealed inside the room.
Maintaining her cool goddess demeanor, Su Nian crisply lifted her leg and delivered a beautiful spinning kick.
Her movements seemed light, but the door didn’t fare so well.
CLANG!
The door fell with a tremendous crash.
But it didn’t seem to startle anyone.
Su Nian turned her head, ready to continue assessing the situation.
But as soon as she turned, a young girl in burial clothes appeared.
Her face looked perfectly normal, gentle and delicate, yet it gave off the impression of a person in their twilight years.
Her body also seemed very stiff. Her eyes were locked on Su Nian, their noses almost touching.
[Whoa, whoa, what the hell is that thing!]
[It looks like a person, but something feels off!]
[So weird. It’s like she’s old and young at the same time.]
Su Nian felt nothing inside. She simply raised her palm again.
SLAP!
The girl was stunned.
’Hey, aren’t you supposed to go through the proper pre-fight motions?’
But what followed was a rain of fists.
And Su Nian’s arm strength was immense. After just a few punches, she was beaten to the point of tears.
As the mastermind, she really didn’t want to lose face like this. But desperate to escape Su Nian’s fists, she scrambled and slid across the floor until she finally broke free.
The eerie feeling from before was gone. Now, she was cowering in a corner, meekly covering her face.
Every time Su Nian took a step forward, she would shrink back a little.
She wanted to act a bit more imposing, but one look up at Su Nian and her legs would involuntarily go weak.
[Ahahaha, I’m dying of laughter.]
[Came out swinging, now she’s a total pushover.]
[What is she even doing? Wasn’t she trying to pull some weird spooky stuff? This is hilarious. The streamer beat her like a dog.]
The stream comments were filled with waves of ridicule.
The girl could only feel her body throbbing with pain.
She hesitated for a long time, but seeing Su Nian get closer and closer, she panicked.
’I want to fight back, but what can I do? I can’t beat her.’
"I... I... I know I was wrong. Please, just forgive me this once."
As she spoke, tears streamed down her face. Her sobbing was like a wounded wolf howling in the dark night, mixed with an unspeakable pain.
Su Nian nodded, her hands behind her back, and asked calmly.
"How old are you?"
"Eighteen?"
Su Nian raised an eyebrow, and the girl wilted again.
"Eighty-eight..."
[What? Eighty-eight?]
[But she looks so young!]
[To the person above, she definitely absorbed other people’s youth and life force to stay young.]
[Yeah, that has to be it!]
"Eighty-eight. How many people have you harmed?"
Su Nian’s tone was flat, betraying no emotion.
The girl’s eyes darted away. "It wasn’t harming... they were willing..."
SLAP!
"Say that again!"
The sudden slap landed, another critical hit.
"It was a trick..."
SLAP! SLAP!
"Waaaah... My family has an ancestral Compass that can see other people’s luck. So I would choose... those with good luck, and then use a ghost to lure them. After they died... I’d steal their luck."
Rubbing her swollen cheeks, the girl answered between sobs.
But before she could try to argue, she caught Su Nian’s gaze and panicked.
Everything before had just been an appetizer. The real reckoning was here.
’Strike first to gain the upper hand!’ she repeated to herself. ’Fight with all my might! A life-or-death struggle!’
The girl thought she was ready, but to her surprise, Su Nian grabbed her directly by the neck.
The confrontation was over before it even began.
Su Nian held her head and, strand by strand, began pulling out her luck.
Golden threads appeared briefly in the air before drifting away.
This luck would return to its victims. Even if those people were dead, it would help them have a better reincarnation in their next life.
"AHHHH! Let go of me! That’s all mine!"
SLAP!
"AHHHH, MINE!"
SLAP! SLAP!!
"I..."
SLAP! SLAP! SLAP!
It wasn’t until Su Nian had beaten her beyond recognition, until she could no longer speak clearly, that all the luck she had stolen was finally returned, bit by bit.
And her youthful face had become a giant, swollen pancake.
"I won’t kill you with my own hands. But you can just lie here. As for how many people in this complex you destroyed back then... don’t worry. They’ll be here to see you soon."
With that, Su Nian walked out of the room.
