Master, Your Wife Has Become a Super Star Through Fortune-Telling-Chapter 96 - 97: Deceit Night Altar

Mu Wan was in a daze.

But Su Nian just smiled, plucking the head from the hands of the ordinary man, Cheng Jing’an.

Then she casually parted the ghost’s hair. "Tsk, hideous features, a darkened forehead, a wide, flat nose... one look is all it takes to see you have no good fortune!"

"And look at these eyes, filled with malice. And the resentment in your Blessing Palace... Turning into this must be your just deserts. You bullied plenty of people when you were alive, didn’t you? And now you’re here pretending to be some poor, frail victim?!"

The sudden light on her face left the female ghost stunned. ’This is the first time I’ve ever met someone like this—someone who just parts a ghost’s hair and starts critiquing its facial features?’

’Are you even human?!’

But she stubbornly denied it. "I jumped because I was being bullied."

Su Nian scoffed. "Oh, give me a break! Wasn’t she the one you killed? That poor girl, having to run into scum like you when she was alive, only to be devoured by you after she died!"

The female ghost was visibly flustered, but she still muttered under her breath, "I didn’t bully her. Who knew she’d be like that? It’s her own fault for being so fragile. She made a huge fuss and wanted to die over just a few words."

Mu Wan, who had believed she was saving a poor, tragic girl, stood frozen as she heard this.

’So the one I wanted to save... was the Demon all along.’

Su Nian shot Mu Wan a disgusted look. "You weren’t this pathetic when you were stealing that ordinary-man fiancé of mine! Now a single ghost has you scared speechless."

Su Nian delivered her final verdict: "You’re a real disgrace!"

Mu Wan: ...

Her face twitched. "I didn’t steal him!"

’He was the one who threw himself at me!’

But she didn’t say that last part out loud.

The female ghost shrieked indignantly, "I’m innocent! I’m innocent!"

Su Nian raised a familiar hand. "I didn’t give you permission to speak!"

Female ghost: ...

’So infuriating! I want to talk! I want to cuss her out...’

’But I don’t dare!’

Watching the female ghost obediently shut up under the threat of Su Nian’s hand, Mu Wan could only feel that she had truly seen it all tonight.

The two masters scurried over again.

But this time, they were here to buy a talisman.

Su Nian’s talisman paper business was booming. She was even doing pre-sales now, limited to thirty a month. For people like them who constantly dealt with ghosts, thirty was nothing—even having fifty or sixty stashed away for emergencies wouldn’t be excessive.

"Heavenly Venerate, please sell me a sheet of talisman paper! I’ll pay five thousand!"

Five thousand?

Su Nian nodded. "I’ll draw one for you right now!"

Master Jin’s eyes practically lit up with stars. To witness a true master draw a talisman in person—he could definitely learn a thing or two.

He was about to ask if Su Nian needed any materials, since he always carried some on him.

Then he watched as Su Nian nonchalantly grabbed a piece of an old contract that Cheng Jing’an had tossed onto the bedside table.

She then picked up a ballpoint pen and scribbled something out.

Then she handed it to Master Jin. "Here. Five thousand."

Master Jin was flabbergasted. "Forget not using proper talisman paper, and forget not using vermillion ink... but you’re using a piece of scrap paper and a ballpoint pen. Is this really going to work?"

Su Nian stared at him. "Are you questioning my professional expertise?"

Remembering that Su Nian could beat someone senseless with her bare hands, Master Jin swallowed his words. ’The ways of a master are truly beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.’

Still, he felt like he was getting ripped off for five thousand. He glanced at Su Nian hesitantly, a suspicion forming that this Heavenly Venerate might just be a con artist.

Cheng Jing’an’s tone was even more astonished. "You’re willing to stoop to earning a mere five thousand now?!"

Su Nian found this even stranger. "What’s wrong with five thousand?"

Cheng Jing’an’s shock was explosive. "You’re willing to go to the trouble of drawing a few strokes for that little bit of money?"

Master Jin felt like he couldn’t even begin to understand their world. ’For five thousand? "Trouble" to draw a few strokes?’

Cheng Jing’an continued, "You’re the daughter of the Su Family, the wealthiest family in the country! Are you really going to debase yourself like this?"

Master Jin and Master Luo: ’The Su Family, as in the wealthiest family?!’

’Is it the Su Family I’m thinking of?!’

Su Nian found him even more bizarre. "What’s it to you?"

But clearly, Su Nian had once again overestimated Cheng Jing’an. His skin was as thick as ever. "Even if you can’t have me, you should still live a good life!"

After a series of shrieks, wails, pleas for mercy, and a string of cries of "Grandpa," Su Nian finally let go of Cheng Jing’an, who was now a boneless heap on the floor, about to pass out from the pain.

"If you ever say such outrageous crap to your grandpa again," she snarled, "I’ll make sure the Cheng Family goes bankrupt!"

"I might have shown a little interest in you before, just to mess with you, but did you really think I was into you? You reek of desperation and poverty!"

Su Nian didn’t hold back on her insults. She was here to earn her five hundred thousand, but that didn’t mean she’d let a scumbag go unpunished.

Master Jin swallowed nervously and asked for confirmation, his voice full of disbelief.

"You’re the heiress of the Su Family, the richest family in the country?"

Su Nian just gave him a look, but the meaning contained within it made Master Jin understand instantly.

He made a zipping motion across his lips and obediently shut his mouth. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Su Nian checked the time. It was the middle of the night. She decided to deal with this female ghost immediately.

Perhaps sensing her impending doom, the female ghost couldn’t help but start sobbing.

"I don’t want to go down below! Please don’t! WAHHH..."

Su Nian snapped, "Who the hell are you trying to fool?!"

The world was instantly quiet.

Su Nian began muttering under her breath. The Purification Spell would remove the female ghost’s resentment, allowing her to be punished more effectively in Hell.

But who would have thought that at this critical moment, the female ghost would blurt out her secrets.

"I know you’re powerful, but I have an organization behind me!"

"If you dare touch me, the Deceit Night Altar will never let you go!"

Su Nian almost died laughing. She started chanting even faster.

"By the round heavens and the square earth, by the nine Chapters of the sacred law! I now write this decree to smite this ghostly blight! By order of Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad, execute with haste, as the law commands!"

As the command was given, the female ghost dissolved into a black mist and drifted away on the breeze.

Master Jin’s eyes were filled with adoration, and Master Luo’s were practically sparkling.

’I want to be her disciple so badly!’ But then they remembered the Deceit Night Altar the female ghost had mentioned, and they both suppressed the idea.

Su Nian thought, ’As if I’d accept such useless disciples anyway. I can’t believe they’re actually being picky and weighing the pros and cons.’

As for the Deceit Night Altar the female ghost had mentioned, Su Nian wasn’t unconcerned. However, she had also noticed something else.

The more people she helped on her livestreams, the more merit she accumulated. Merit itself was extremely important for Taoist cultivators.

For Su Nian, it had another benefit: it increased her power, making her even stronger.

Su Nian could sense a vast gulf between her own power and that of the Taoist practitioners in this world.

This world’s Spiritual Gu Technique was scarce to begin with. Su Nian, on the other hand, came from a world where everyone could exorcise ghosts and vanquish Demons. Moreover, even in that world, her power was at the absolute apex.

Coming to this world was, to put it mildly, a complete curb-stomp.

Even better, the ghosts and monsters of this world were also far weaker than those from her own.

It was like a max-level player returning to the starter zone. That was Su Nian’s current situation.

It was no exaggeration to say that in this world, she could take on a hundred enemies at once without breaking a sweat.
