Master, Your Wife Has Become a Super Star Through Fortune-Telling-Chapter 56 - 58: The Hotel Incident
But strangely, even though Su Nian had gone this far, the creature still pulled its face into an ugly smile before vanishing.
[Holy crap! That thing ran away!?]
[First time I’ve ever seen a monster escape from the streamer!]
[It timed that perfectly!]
This hotel was clearly no ordinary place, but Su Nian was no ordinary person either.
The ghostly thing had seemingly vanished, but it could still be found elsewhere.
A smile touched the corners of Su Nian’s lips.
She walked straight over to the hotel owner. He was a very old man with a full head of white hair. His hands, as dry and withered as tree bark, were covered in age spots.
A tuft of a white beard sprouted from his chin, curving slightly forward.
Seeing Su Nian come downstairs, he even offered a seemingly friendly smile.
"Leaving, young lady?"
Su Nian flashed a picture-perfect smile of her own.
[I’ve got a bad feeling for the old man!]
[Gotta say, that old guy doesn’t look very friendly.]
[I’m a die-hard fan. I trust the streamer unconditionally!]
Then she reached out with a slender, delicate hand and grabbed his beard.
[Wh-wh-what? Isn’t she going to get reported for this?]
[Everything the streamer does is completely unexpected.]
[This is a little outrageous, but I still believe in the streamer!]
His somewhat weathered face instantly became panic-stricken.
"You... what do you think you’re doing, girl?"
But the moment the words left his mouth, Su Nian yanked his beard forward.
"Cut the act, you old fiend!"
"Spill it! Where did that rubbery ghost go?"
The old man trembled, and tears even welled up in his eyes. His already-weathered face looked even more haggard.
"I... I... I don’t know!"
[What if she got the wrong person!]
[Yeah, he looks pretty innocent!]
[Even this die-hard fan is having second thoughts.]
Su Nian had no time for "respecting her elders" when dealing with someone so thoroughly evil.
She ripped out a handful of his beard.
[HISS, that looks like it hurts!]
The old man’s face contorted in pain. His chapped lips quivered and his face turned beet red.
But in response, Su Nian attacked again, this time grabbing him by the hair.
"Old monster, are you going to talk or not..."
The old man squealed in pain, tears now streaming from his eyes.
All his earlier forced composure was gone.
"You little brat, you’ll face divine retribution for this!"
[Isn’t the streamer going a bit too far?]
[Yeah, he’s an old man, for crying out loud!]
[Streamer, that’s enough!]
But his face twisted, and Su Nian soon felt a blast of cold Dark Aura.
The instant she turned her head, she was face-to-face with a huge, swollen, white face.
[AHHHHH!!!]
[What the hell is that!]
[I was just typing out "respect your elders" and this thing pops up! Help!]
An unknown liquid dripped from its face. Seeing Su Nian turn, it bared a mouth packed with sharp, dense fangs.
Some unknown red liquid clung to its teeth, and its eyes were fixed squarely on Su Nian.
[Excellent, another Demon material!]
[I’ve really been through too much in this stream.]
[Just changed into a dry pair of pants. That’s the third time!]
Su Nian nodded to herself. ’Good, it’s finally here. It’s not the one I was after, but this one will do.’
Su Nian let go of the old man’s hair and turned to face the newly appeared monster.
With one hand, she flicked out a sheet of yellow paper and drew a Spirit Talisman in the air. The talisman paper was completed in an instant.
The monster licked its fangs as its foul-smelling hand shot toward Su Nian.
But in the instant it neared her, Su Nian’s talisman was ready.
She slapped it directly onto the creature’s forehead, then grabbed its head with her bare hand and threw a punch.
She literally knocked its head clean off.
The old man, who had been watching from the side, could no longer hold back and let out a sharp, miserable shriek.
He flailed his arms and lunged at Su Nian.
"You animal! You animal!"
Su Nian neatly kicked him to the ground, then casually wiped the mud from her shoe on his clothes. In an unconcerned tone, she said, "Screaming so miserably. Was that your father or your mother?"
In an instant, the old man was so enraged he nearly passed out, his eyes wide with fury.
"That was a Water Corpse I worked so hard to collect and turn into a Water Ghost! You animal, you’ve ruined everything!"
[What?]
[He made it?]
[Thanks, I take back that nonsense I said about respecting your elders!]
[Streamer, you went too easy on him!]
His eyes bulged so wide they looked like they were about to fall out of their sockets.
But he quickly consoled himself. "Still, you have some skill. A person like you would be easy for me to refine. Your talent is quite good. Turning you into an Evil Ghost should be simple enough!"
"You brought this on yourself today!"
His tone became vicious, all traces of the meek man from when Su Nian was pulling his beard now gone.
Su Nian almost laughed out loud. "Old man, who gave you this confidence? At your age, why not try being a decent human being?"
[Whatever, I unconditionally trust the streamer!]
[This old creep is disgusting!]
"You love putting on an act. If you hadn’t plotted against me and put that ghostly thing in my room, I never would have realized what an animal you are. I have to say, you’ve got some thick skin!"
"Hah... enough talk. You’ll be refined by me soon enough!"
The old man gave Su Nian an eerie smile, then took out a small bell densely covered in red symbols.
A light shake produced a low, strange sound.
And in the darkness, it seemed as if many things were coming down the stairs.
[What is that? Hearing that bell makes me feel awful!]
[Me too, I feel kind of dizzy!]
[This old guy actually has some power!]
Su Nian gave a cold smile. She had really underestimated this old man. He had an Evil Ghost stashed in every room!
TING-A-LING...
As the bell rang, the surrounding temperature dropped again, and the eerie atmosphere grew thicker.
The Water Ghost that Su Nian had just decapitated slowly got back up. Its swollen head had, at some point, returned to its original position.
In the darkness, the cold presence drew closer and closer. Soon, Su Nian noticed that the top of the stairs was jam-packed with all sorts of monsters.
The old man’s face wore a look of obsessed pride.
"These are all the works I’ve painstakingly collected and created over the years. They aren’t perfect yet, but they’ll be enough."
[Its smile is so disgusting!]
[The use of "it" here is brilliant!]
[This old man is clearly a total psycho!]
The various putrid stenches in the air grew stronger, and the old man’s expression became more and more crazed.
"My darlings..."
"Seeing you all gathered together, it’s truly intoxicating. It’s just so beautiful!"
