Master, Your Wife Has Become a Super Star Through Fortune-Telling-Chapter 26 - 28: Ghost Shave

[Hair loss anxiety?]

[I didn’t quite catch that. Not sure, let’s wait and see.]

[Is it getting revenge on people with hair because it doesn’t have any?]

[Ghosts get hair loss anxiety too?]

[I’m genuinely lost.]

Su Nian patiently explained, "This ghost was also a programmer in life. He died suddenly from pulling all-nighters to code. But before he died, he had a lingering obsession: he was just too bald."

"For all these years, it has wandered the city, existing in a mindless state."

"Until it met Zhang. It was shocked to discover that a programmer could actually have so much hair, and so, it grew jealous..."

[Can’t believe Zhang was targeted by a ghost just for having a lot of hair.]

[I don’t even know what to say to that.]

[I’m a little stunned. Did I hear that right?]

[HAHAHA, I’m dying! This is so absurd, it’s like Absurdity’s mom opened the door for it—absurdity has come home!]

Zhang was also stunned, rubbing his own smooth, bald head.

He felt like crying but couldn’t shed a tear. ’These days, you can’t even have a nice head of hair without some ghost getting jealous and trying to ruin it for you.’

"Host, so... can my hair still grow back?"

"Of course it can."

"But what if it grows back and that ghost comes to shave my head again?"

Er...

The stream fell silent once more, immediately followed by a barrage of HAHAHAs.

A ghost shave...

What should have been a bizarre and terrifying affair was now, thanks to the jeering bullet comments, filled with an air of comedy.

[I bet that ghost was a comedian in his past life!]

[This ghost is killing me. It doesn’t do anything else, just gives people head shaves.]

[So, what happened to all the hair Zhang lost?]

Seeing this bullet comment, Zhang perked up.

He had been following Master Bailian for a long time and knew this master was the real deal.

’What if she can help me find my old hair and reattach it? Wouldn’t that be even better?’

Zhang looked at Su Nian, his eyes filled with hope.

"Host, please help me~"

A grown man, a completely bald one at that, was now attempting to bat his eyelashes flirtatiously for the first time in his life.

Whatever Su Nian thought of this, she didn’t show it, but the bullet comments were a stream of ’BARF’.

"Just act normal. It’s not that reattaching your hair is impossible, but the main issue is that you don’t have any hair to reattach."

Zhang was confused. ’I can just use the hair that was shaved off before, right?’

Su Nian sighed and traced a pattern in the air with her finger.

Then, he saw something terrifying.

In the reflection of his phone screen, the form of the ghost behind him gradually appeared.

Glasses, a plaid shirt, and lifeless eyes. And yet, his expression was paradoxically full of zeal.

It seemed he had been frozen by Su Nian mid-shave. Judging by his expression, he appeared to be having a wonderful time.

Su Nian said, "I’ve frozen him. Once he recovers, I’ll send him on his way."

"But it’ll cost extra!"

Su Nian said the two words "cost extra" as if it were the most natural thing in the world, while Zhang was momentarily stunned once again.

Then it occurred to him. ’If I don’t get this thing sent away, every bit of hair I grow will just be shaved right off. Even the healthiest hair can’t survive that kind of treatment.’

At this thought, he nodded. He also grew a little bolder—after all, the ghost was frozen solid.

He even turned around, intending to glare at the ghost, but then he caught sight of something sparse and wispy on its scalp that looked strangely familiar.

’Isn’t that my hair?’

Zhang looked as if he’d been struck by lightning—fried to a crisp, inside and out.

"So it shaved off my hair... and then stuck it onto its own head?!"

Su Nian felt an urge to laugh but had to maintain a calm facade. "Mhm, that’s right."

The bullet comments, however, had already exploded with laughter.

[I’m dying! What is this moronic plot?]

[I’m cracking up so hard under my covers. My mom had to come save me, but then I showed her the stream and now she’s dying of laughter too.]

[I generally don’t laugh. Unless I absolutely can’t hold it in.]

[No wonder it arranged the hair so neatly! I was wondering about that earlier, but now I get it. It’s easier to paste on when it’s all tidy!]

[Nice. This ghost really understands the art of grafting.] 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

[HAHAHAHAHA...]

Zhang was dumbfounded. After so many days of terror and fear, during which he’d nearly convinced himself he had a terminal illness and was about to die...

...he never imagined this would be the actual reason for it all.

Zhang felt truly and utterly wronged.
