Master, Your Wife Has Become a Super Star Through Fortune-Telling-Chapter 95 - 96: Planting a Ghost

"I’m gonna shove you in a damn flowerpot today and teach you the real meaning of ’vegetative state’!"

Su Nian grabbed the ghost’s body and plunged it headfirst into one of Cheng Jing’an’s tall flowerpots.

The others watched, dumbfounded, as Su Nian deftly stuffed her into the pot. In ancient times, there was the story of uprooting a willow tree; today, we have Su Nian planting a female ghost with her bare hands.

The female ghost was beaten into a daze, but Su Nian was too strong. She had planted the ghost deep, and even stuffed its head into a separate, pot-bellied vase.

The female ghost’s limbs flailed, but to her horror, she couldn’t break free.

Master Jin was a perceptive man. The moment Su Nian started beating up the ghost with her bare hands, a terrified smile had spread across his face.

Now, his eyes crinkled into a sycophantic grin as he stepped forward to greet her.

"Heavenly Venerable Bailian, hello! I am the seventeenth-generation disciple of the Jin lineage of Taoism. You can just call me Xiao Jin."

Despite his advanced age, he spoke to Su Nian with the utmost respect.

Su Nian gave a calm nod, determined to maintain her air of a master to the very end.

Master Luo pushed his way forward as well, his eyes practically overflowing with admiration and worship.

"Heavenly Venerate, hello! I’m just a charlatan. My surname is Luo, and it’s a pleasure to meet you!"

Master Luo had seen a few of Su Nian’s livestreams and knew her skill at face reading was unnervingly accurate. Squeezing his way over, he immediately announced his identity.

Being exposed by someone else would be embarrassing, but admitting it himself gave him a strange sense of righteous confidence.

Master Jin was a little annoyed. ’Why does this damn guy have to steal the spotlight everywhere I go?!’

But before he could say anything, Master Luo had already begun to praise Su Nian.

"You are truly the most incredible master I have ever seen! Putting everything else aside, just the fact that you don’t use Magic Artifacts—none of those other masters can even hold a candle to you!"

Master Jin chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes! And your title, Heavenly Venerable Bailian! A white lotus! So white and beautiful, emerging from the muck yet unstained, so pure and elegant. Oh, what a wonderful title! It suits you perfectly—it’s a match made in heaven. You are like the white lotus, and the white lotus is like you!"

’...’

’Thanks,’ Su Nian thought. ’I feel so... complimented.’

Mu Wan blushed. "Niannian, thank you so much for coming to save me today!"

’???’

Reciting her bank account number, Su Nian said with a cold expression, "Hold it. I came for the five hundred thousand. As long as the money arrives, I’ll get the job done."

Cheng Jing’an, his expression complicated, transferred the five hundred thousand. "Su Nian, I know you came here to save me, and I thank you for that, but the one I love is Mu Wan."

Cheng Jing’an thought confidently, ’How could Su Nian, the esteemed young lady of the Su Family, possibly be short five hundred thousand?’

’She must have come for me!’

Cheng Jing’an even felt a little bashful, a newfound confidence blooming in his heart. "I’m truly grateful for everything you’ve done for me, but the only one I love is Wanwan."

Hearing this, Su Nian merely glanced at him. Her expression was so placid that it was impossible to discern her thoughts.

Even Cheng Jing’an looked back shyly, awaiting her response.

He met Su Nian’s gaze for a full three seconds, but instead of the pleading or regret he expected, he heard her say, her voice flat and tinged with a hint of gritted teeth, "You ordinary man, do you have any idea what’s about to happen to you?"

Su Nian cracked her knuckles, and a flood of unpleasant memories instantly washed over Cheng Jing’an.

Su Nian offered a sweet smile, but her words were anything but friendly.

"You ordinary man, you will pay the price for that misplaced confidence of yours!"

Cheng Jing’an’s face changed. If he had his own background music, it would probably be a song that went something like this:

Oh no, oh no, oh my god, I’m about to get my butt kicked!

Faster than words could describe, Su Nian yanked the female ghost’s head out of the vase, and with a powerful swing, tossed it right into Cheng Jing’an’s arms.

"AHHHHHH!!!!"

An expected scream. Cheng Jing’an clutched the head, so terrified he looked like he was about to faint.

His delicate little wife, however, had become Su Nian’s newest fangirl.

"Niannian, you’re so amaaaazing~"

One of them was running around frantically while clutching a ghost’s head; the other was shyly tugging on Su Nian’s clothes, her face flushed pink.

Master Luo: ...

Master Jin: ...

Watching Cheng Jing’an run around, scared out of his wits, the two masters didn’t dare to speak.

If Su Nian were to pull the ghost’s body out, they’d probably die on the spot. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Su Nian glanced at Mu Wan and casually sat down.

For five hundred thousand, Su Nian felt she should at least be diligent. She had to take care of this thing completely, so no one would doubt her professional skills.

"How did you end up getting tangled up with this thing?"

Su Nian read Mu Wan’s face. Although her romantic life was a bit of a mess, she had a kind heart and often did things like rescue small animals.

Mu Wan’s expression instantly turned grim, but she told them the whole story.

"I work at a cram school for third-year high school students who are retaking their exams. Because they’re all repeat students, they’re quite serious about their studies. It’s common for them to stay until eleven or twelve at night."

"The reason my salary is high is that I have to stay until every single student has left."

"Moreover, the principal has a strict rule that teachers must keep the students until eleven before they’re allowed to go."

"This was all actually very normal. But two days ago, I started hearing a girl crying, over and over. The sound was mournful and incredibly eerie."

"I asked the students, but they all said they hadn’t heard anything. I grew suspicious and asked the other teachers and the principal if anything had happened in this classroom before, but they all said no."

"Then, one student let it slip. Apparently, a few years ago, a girl had ended her own life in this very classroom."

Mu Wan’s face grew pale. "And before she did it, she had cried in this classroom for a long, long time!"

"When I heard that, I wasn’t scared. I just felt she was so pitiful. ’Maybe she’s trapped here, unable to leave,’ I thought, ’or maybe she has some unfulfilled wish.’ I decided I had to help her."

’...’ Su Nian thought. ’That’s so you. Only the female lead of a romance novel would have that kind of heroic impulse.’

As Mu Wan spoke, she grew more and more furious. "I was completely focused on helping her. Even when I saw she was covered in blood, I suppressed my fear. But who would have known that because I wanted to help her, she would try to drag me down to be her replacement!"

"She actually said that for all these years, she had been waiting for an idiot who would try to help her. Whoever helped her, she would make them her replacement."

Su Nian glanced at the female ghost’s head that Cheng Jing’an was shrieking and clutching. ’Nice! Very creative!’

But on closer inspection, Su Nian noticed something wasn’t right. "How are you so sure that she’s the girl who was bullied at school?"
