Master, Your Wife Has Become a Super Star Through Fortune-Telling-Chapter 49 - 51: Lonely Wolf

[Could it be some kind of prank...]

[Who would be such a scumbag? That sounds so ominous.]

[I don’t know, college students are like that these days. They don’t know where to draw the line. It could just be a roommate or a friend who did it.]

[Yeah, you never know. My girlfriend is always pulling pranks like this.]

"But I keep feeling like something’s wrong. I have this sense that I can see... strange things."

After a moment’s hesitation, Lonely Wolf continued.

"I’ve actually already graduated. I’m an illustrator, so my work hours are flexible. I’m also a homebody and don’t like to go out. I only ever leave the house at night to grab a late-night snack."

"But I don’t know what happened. Lately, I keep seeing all sorts of weird things at night."

"They’re white and transparent, like clumps of something... floating in the air like... like souls."

[Oh my god, the more he talks, the creepier it gets.]

[Could those be the legendary ghosts?]

[Maybe it’s like in the novels, and he’s developed the Yin Yang Eye.]

[From a scientific perspective, I think you might be a little paranoid, man..."]

"I swear everything I’m saying is true! If I’m lying, may I be struck by lightning and hit by a car the second I step outside!"

Seeing that some people didn’t believe him, Lonely Wolf got so angry he blurted out a vicious oath.

[He’s really serious...]

[Could it actually be true?]

[But this is just too out-there.]

[What’s there to doubt? ’From a scientific perspective’—if you’re all about science, why are you in this live stream in the first place?]

Su Nian’s expression didn’t change much.

"What else? Go on."

"And about the Joss Paper, there’s no way a friend gave it to me. I’m pretty introverted, I don’t have many friends, and I live alone. I’m not on good terms with my neighbors either. It’s impossible for anyone to get into my house and stuff Joss Paper in my clothes."

"And the weird things happening to me don’t stop there. For the past two or three days, I keep hearing someone faintly calling my name."

"And not long after I hear that strange voice, Joss Paper just appears in my pocket."

Lonely Wolf said, his face a mask of terror.

[Whoa, holy— Could it be that a ghost has its eyes on you?]

[What I’m thinking is, maybe some beautiful female ghost is looking for a husband.]

[A ghost marriage?]

[If we have to pick a theory, I’d say ghost marriage seems the most plausible.]

[I know a little about face reading myself. I keep feeling there’s something strange about this guy. His Dark Aura is so heavy. He’s probably really being targeted by a ghost.]

Lonely Wolf felt like crying but couldn’t shed a tear. He was both terrified and timid, huddled alone under his blanket, too scared to move.

"Heavenly Venerate... did I really... run into a ghost?"

Before Su Nian could answer, he started muttering to himself again.

"I mean, my whole life, I might not have been some great saint, but I’ve never done anything bad. I even donate a good amount of money every year. Why would a ghost pick me?"

[Maybe it’s the kind of ghost that attacks indiscriminately.]

[Another possibility: what if the ghost was drawn to your kindness?]

[I think the Joss Paper is definitely meant to be exchanged for something of yours. Most likely, your life.]

The more the chat speculated, the worse Lonely Wolf’s expression became.

But Su Nian just stared at his pale face, finding it a bit strange.

"Your face... has it always been this color?"

It was no wonder Su Nian asked; the young man’s complexion was unnaturally pale.

It even had a bluish tint, giving him an inherently eerie aura.

[The streamer finally asked! I thought it was weird, too.]

[And for some reason, I feel like he looks familiar.]

[Hey, yeah, I don’t know why, but I think he looks a little familiar, too.]

[Lonely Wolf, where are you from?]

Seeing the chat go off-topic again, Lonely Wolf was a bit dazed, but he answered nonetheless.

"I live in A City..."

[That’s weird, then. I’ve never been to that place.]

[But the internet is so developed now. Maybe one of his photos was posted online somewhere.]

[That’s true...]
