Master, Your Wife Has Become a Super Star Through Fortune-Telling-Chapter 97 - 98: My Dog Is Possessed

Having earned the 500,000 she’d been dreaming of, Su Nian drove straight home.

Her speedrun of washing up and going to bed took only three minutes.

But just as Su Nian fell asleep, she heard a faint, rustling sound in the night. At first, it sounded like someone rummaging through her closet, but the noise grew closer, as if something was now crouching by her bed.

Su Nian suddenly realized it was probably someone from the Deceit Night Altar who had found her.

But she couldn’t be bothered to open her eyes. ’All I want is to sleep,’ she thought. ’I’m dead tired, so I don’t care. If there’s a ghost, there’s a ghost.’

Just as the sounds faded and Su Nian was drifting into a deep sleep, someone whispered in her ear, "I know you’re not asleep."

Su Nian: ...!

She snapped her eyes open, annoyed, only to be confronted by a human face right in front of her own, split by a wide grin that was both lecherous and deeply unsettling.

Su Nian’s expression was icy. "I’d call you the gutsiest ghost I’ve ever met!"

In all her years of dealing with ghosts, this was the first one to ever disturb her sleep.

It even stuck out a long tongue to lick its lips, revealing shreds of red meat stuck between its teeth, as if it had eaten someone before coming to find Su Nian.

Su Nian could smell the foul, fishy stench getting stronger, and her expression grew grim. And yet, this ghost seemed completely oblivious to what was about to happen.

’Trying to pull this bloody, creepy act on me? It’s going to pay the price it deserves today.’

A pale, swollen, pancake-like face, lecherous eyes, no nose, and a mouth stretched wide. Its tongue darted around, licking its teeth, making it look even more disgusting and vile. It carried a foul, fishy odor, and even its breath stank.

The ghoulish thing licked its tongue and crept closer and closer to Su Nian. At that moment, she felt that the 500,000 she’d collected earlier wasn’t nearly enough for this.

Rage surged through her mind. Su Nian watched as the big-mouthed ghost got closer and closer, until it was just a breath away.

Then, Su Nian shot out a hand and clamped its mouth shut, forcing it closed.

A faint smile played on Su Nian’s lips, hiding the fact she was gritting her teeth. But anyone who truly knew her would recognize this as a sign of her true fury.

Su Nian’s tone was very placid, almost gentle. "You naughty ghost~ Do you know what’s about to happen to you?"

Big-mouthed ghost: ???

But before it could answer, Su Nian’s tone shifted again.

Gritting her teeth, looking like she wanted to eat the ghost on the spot, she snarled, "Your mouth is about to become as elastic as a spring!"

The big-mouthed ghost was even more confused, but before it could react, Su Nian moved.

She threw off her blanket, swiftly grabbed its large mouth, and lifted the entire ghost up with one hand.

Then she started swinging it. Round and round she swung it. It had to be said, this ghost had its strong points. Its mouth was incredibly resilient; no matter how hard she swung, it didn’t tear off.

Su Nian let out a dry laugh. "Very good. I actually underestimated you!"

’I never thought I’d see the day I’d become a ghost-torturing maniac,’ Su Nian mused.

The big-mouthed ghost, dangling by its pinched mouth, could only manage a faint, gurgling sound from its throat.

"I was wrong... I was wrong..."

Su Nian ignored it and continued to swing it around for a good while, only stopping when she was breathing heavily.

But that wasn’t enough!

Su Nian found a rubber band, used it to tie its resilient mouth shut, and then unceremoniously tossed it into the washing machine.

She set it to the fastest spin cycle. Banking on the fact that she owned a top-of-the-line washing machine, she set the timer for a full hour.

Then, she slapped a piece of talisman paper on the machine so nothing could rescue it. She also stuck some on her door and windows before finally getting ready to sleep in peace.

It was a very comforting sleep, lulled by the faint whirring of the spin cycle and the muffled, weeping cries for help.

Su Nian was a heavy sleeper and slept straight through to the afternoon.

After waking up and lazing around for a bit, it was already eight o’clock.

Yawning, Su Nian started her live stream.

[Haven’t seen you all day, and you’ve gotten even prettier, streamer!]

[So beautiful! So beautiful!]

[High cranial top, big eyes, long black hair... she’s literally the girl of my dreams!]

[I’m drooling, I’m seriously drooling!]

[Drooling is useless, guy above me!]

Su Nian yawned. "I’m sending out a lucky bag~"

Lucky Bag sent!

Three seconds later, a message appeared.

[Congratulations to Li Ye for grabbing the streamer’s lucky bag!]

[Damn it! It’s not me again!]

[I’m not even mad that I can’t get one anymore. I’ve pretty much figured out these lucky bags are reserved for unlucky people or those who’ve run into ghosts.]

After Su Nian contacted him, the person agreed to a live video call.

A frantic-looking man appeared on the screen.

He looked to be in his twenties, wearing pajamas with messy hair and heavy dark circles under his eyes. He was at home.

But he kept glancing behind him. A big yellow dog, Dahuang, was lying there lazily, and he seemed to be afraid of it.

The moment the video connected and he saw Su Nian, it was as if he was looking at a savior.

Greatly calmed yet still shaken, he said, "Heavenly Venerate, help me! I-I’ve seen a ghost!"

"W-well, not me. My dog has seen a ghost!"

He was one of Su Nian’s most loyal fans and had watched every single one of her streams without fail.

So naturally, he knew her well and was aware that she had real skills.

Su Nian yawned again and went to the fridge to grab a peach.

She took a lazy, carefree bite of the peach, her eyes sweeping over Li Ye. She narrowed them slightly, her demeanor unhurried.

"What’s up?"

Li Ye looked at her calm expression and immediately relaxed. He knew Su Nian well enough to know that she could read a person’s fortune at a glance. ’Her being this calm must mean my situation with the ghost isn’t that serious.’

Reassured, Li Ye quickly poured out his troubles. "My dog has been acting so strangely! Every now and then, he just becomes incredibly lazy, like he’s a completely different dog! He doesn’t even respond when I call his name. It’s like he’s been possessed by some wandering spirit!"

"The thing is, I could accept it if it only happened for a day or two, but this happens intermittently, and his personality completely changes every single time!"

"It’s like his body’s been taken over by something! Heavenly Venerate, do you think... do you think something has targeted my dog?!"

[Whoa, even dogs aren’t safe these days!]

[Oh my god, a ghost has its eyes on a dog?]

[I’m just shocked that dogs can even get possessed?]

Chewing on her peach, Su Nian lifted her gaze and sized Li Ye up. There was indeed a trace of misfortune about him, and something about the man himself felt off.

She then looked at his dog. Although she hadn’t unlocked the ability to read pets’ fortunes yet, Su Nian couldn’t detect a single trace of Dark Aura or resentment from the animal.

’That’s strange.’

Su Nian thought for a moment, her eyes calm. "From your description, it does sound like something’s wrong with your dog. However, ghosts don’t usually interact with dogs for no reason. Besides, your dog has no Dark Aura on it whatsoever. It hasn’t been possessed by any ghost at all!"

"Look, buddy, you need to believe in science. And remember your core values!"

[You’re a fortune-telling, metaphysics streamer telling someone to believe in science. That’s the most unscientific thing here.]

[The streamer looks so cute when she’s dead serious about believing in science!]

But Li Ye’s expression turned doubtful. "Then why does my dog’s personality keep changing so drastically?"
