Master, Your Wife Has Become a Super Star Through Fortune-Telling-Chapter 53 - 55: Soul Hooker

Then it saw Su Nian’s calm expression.

Its face immediately filled with shock. ’What is she doing here?’

The moment its expression changed, Su Nian quickly cut the live stream.

BZZT—

The live stream abruptly ended. The screen went black, and even the phone seemed to have frozen, completely unresponsive.

But the viewers in the stream chat were staring wide-eyed. What was that all about?

Who’s "Little Bai"?

Does our streamer have some secret stories we don’t know about?

Soon, a strange thread popped up on a forum.

The Untold Stories of Heavenly Venerable Bailian and Bai Wuchang!

[You all saw the stream, right? I get the feeling the streamer knows that Bai Wuchang!]

[And that terrified look on Bai Wuchang’s face... I bet the streamer has beaten it up before!]

[To the person above me, you can be ridiculous, but don’t just make stuff up, okay?]

[Anyway, everything today was so intense!]

[And it’s not just this Mystic Technique! I’ve noticed the streamer’s real-life identity seems really strange too!]

[What’s so strange? From the way she dresses, you can tell she’s like a young lady from a prestigious family.]

[Yeah, and not just any rich girl. That ring she was wearing today, I thought it looked familiar. I just looked it up—it was the final piece made by a world-renowned master jeweler. It’s one of a kind!]

[Whoa, so awesome!]

Su Nian switched to a private video call between the two of them.

"Y-y-y-you... what are you doing here?"

Bai Wuchang was utterly shocked. ’I already switched to a different mortal realm! How did I run into her again?’

Su Nian raised an eyebrow and smiled. To think she’d run into this old acquaintance today.

’How is it that even in a different world, it’s still these two goons on duty?’

"Little Bai, long time no see. You seem to be doing well!"

As she spoke, she gave a meaningful glance at the four words on its hat: "Fortune at First Sight."

This Bai Wuchang loved to mess with living people for fun. It especially looked down on cowards. If anyone saw it and ran, it would give chase relentlessly, letting out strange cries the entire time.

The fleeing person would usually be scared out of their wits. But if a brave person saw it, they wouldn’t need to run. They could make funny faces or gestures at it, and it would mimic them right back.

If you then threw a brick or some mud at it, it would start throwing the gold and Silver Ingots from around its neck back at you until it ran out.

Bai Wuchang would then run away, having lost all its treasure. It would sigh in dismay as it fled, and the person who wasn’t afraid of ghosts would end up making a fortune.

But when the two first met, Bai Wuchang had the bad idea of trying to scare Su Nian.

Not only was Su Nian not afraid of ghosts, but she had also raised her slender little hand and slapped it right onto its body.

As for its treasure, Su Nian didn’t need it to throw them; she took them herself.

So, for a long time, Bai Wuchang became Su Nian’s personal god of wealth.

And Su Nian, in turn, became its worst nightmare.

Now, reunited once more, the nightmare of years past came rushing back.

Bai Wuchang’s hands trembled uncontrollably. It actually flung the phone down and bolted in a flash.

All Chen Hao could see was the blurry image of a phone falling.

But strangely, the gust of wind that blew past gave him the distinct feeling of someone fleeing in panic.

A few minutes passed before Su Nian’s live stream started up again.

When the stream returned, the viewers’ excitement nearly overwhelmed the chat.

In fact, there were so many comments flooding in so densely that Su Nian’s stream started to lag badly.

"Hello everyone, the stream is back on..."

Su Nian smiled faintly and began to explain the whole story behind the Lonely Wolf incident to her viewers.

Only Chen Hao, who was on the scene, stood there in a daze, holding the phone, looking hesitant.

He looked at the heartbroken woman, then thought of Lonely Wolf’s last wish, and stepped forward to console her.

"Ma’am, I’m a friend of Xiao Dong. He asked me to give you a message."

"He said your beef chili sauce is the best in the world, and that in his next life, he wants to be your son again. Also, his bank card PIN is ×××."

After speaking, Chen Hao held out the phone Lonely Wolf had left behind.

But the phone’s screen was now completely black.

"This is his phone. I’m returning it to its rightful owner."

The woman’s eyes were filled with confusion, but then it seemed as if she understood something.

She took the phone, bowed her head in thanks, but couldn’t quite understand why her son’s phone, which he always carried with him, would appear here.

Chen Hao sighed and left.

Su Nian: "Actually, cases like this are rare, but they have occurred throughout history."

"In the *Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio*, there’s a story like this. A man was to be beheaded, and the executioner was his own uncle. The uncle told him he would only cut the rope, and that after he did, the man should run forward as fast as he could!"

"Trusting his uncle, the man believed him. He went on thinking he was still alive. It wasn’t until the truth was accidentally revealed and he realized he was dead that his body and soul dissipated."

"Lonely Wolf’s situation was just like that. His death was so sudden that he forgot it even happened. He floated all the way home. Because he had just died, his Dark Aura was exceptionally strong, and he was even able to pick up his phone. The phone was tainted with some of that Dark Aura, and because he followed a special streamer like me, he was drawn here by some unseen force."

[That’s so sad. I can’t believe that’s what happened.]

[I’ve heard that story the streamer mentioned, but I’m a bit confused. That guy lived for ten years before he died after being exposed. So, streamer, why did you have to expose him on purpose?]

[Yeah, letting him ’live on’ like that would have been fine, really. It would have been a comfort to his mother, too.]

Su Nian maintained her faint smile.

"If things were like that, the order of the world would fall into chaos. Everyone who had an accident would want to use this method to stay ’alive.’"

"Besides, doing this severely damages one’s chances at reincarnation. By not moving on when it’s time to be reincarnated, one becomes a wandering, lonely soul. Its memories will gradually fade until it disappears from the mortal realm forever."

Hearing Su Nian’s explanation, the chat calmed down.

[Yeah, it’s not worth ruining your reincarnation just for a fleeting attachment.]

[If reincarnation is real, my grandpa should be about five years old by now.]

[I know there’s a price, but if I were to die suddenly and leave my child behind, I would be willing to trade all my future lives for the chance to stay with them in this one.]

Su Nian: "The case I just mentioned is almost impossible. Don’t forget, there are Soul Hookers in this world. This isn’t something you can do just because you want to. Even if you got lucky and managed to stay with your family for a few years, your ’well-intentioned’ companionship would cause your loved ones to become neither fully human nor ghost."

"It’s taboo for the living to have contact with such netherworld unions or with spirit monsters."

Having thoroughly dispelled the viewers’ fantasies, Su Nian prepared to end the stream.

"Alright, that’s all for today’s stream. We’ll be back tomorrow at the same time."

Just then, several more gifts flooded the screen.

[Streamer, Streamer, check your private messages!]

Prompted by the gifts, Su Nian obliged and took a look.

[There’s a problem with my father’s grave! Streamer, I’m begging you to come take a look!]

The man sent a huge amount of gifts, quickly becoming Su Nian’s top donor.

And Su Nian certainly wouldn’t refuse a request from her top donor.
