Master, Your Wife Has Become a Super Star Through Fortune-Telling

Chapter 297 - 299: Doesn’t Eat Beef

"Your head is quite soft."

Su Nian casually held the boy’s head, shaking it from side to side.

She even pinched his already stiff cheeks.

The courage Qingya had just mustered vanished in an instant.

[You’ve got real guts, Heavenly Venerate!]

[What about that Qingya? Didn’t she go looking for the streamer?]

[Maybe she was just kidding.]

Meanwhile, Su Nian had already turned to look at the girl swaying precariously by the door.

Qingya managed to force a smile.

"Hey~"

Su Nian glanced at her trembling legs and her pale little face, which was trying hard to look calm.

She placed the head in her hand back on the body, even giving it a little twist.

Then, she drew out a piece of talisman paper.

The moment the boy got his head back, he tried to run.

But in the next second, Su Nian lit the talisman paper. The smoke slowly spread, carrying the boy’s body away with it.

In the empty, unfinished room, only Su Nian remained.

Qingya swallowed hard, feeling the urge to roll her eyes again.

’Why does this master seem more like a ghost?!’

She even felt her legs turning to jelly, as if they couldn’t move.

Sweeping her flashlight over, Su Nian was a little confused, but she quickly recalled the stream comments she had seen.

It seemed one of her fans lived very close by.

Su Nian frowned and took a step forward. ’A fan, huh? I might as well see what’s wrong with her.’

But as Su Nian approached, Qingya grew even more frightened. She thought of the boy who had just vanished into thin air and glanced around the empty, cold, unfinished room.

Her mind ran wild. ’What if she kills me and bricks me into a wall?’

Her whole body was tense. Just then, a stray cat suddenly cried out.

The cat’s cry was shrill, as if it had discovered something terrifying.

Qingya was just about to scream.

Su Nian had already reached her and extended a hand to pull her up, her tone calm.

"It’s just a cat."

That one sentence made all of Qingya’s previous resistance disappear. Her eyes even started to sparkle.

’Her voice is so beautiful!’

’Her hand is so pretty, too!!’

"O... Okay..."

A blush crept onto her cheeks, and she lowered her head shyly.

[???]

[What’s with Qingya? Did she get scared senseless or something?]

[I don’t get it. I’m so confused.]

[Why do I feel like I’m seeing pink, romantic bubbles everywhere?]

The moment she took Su Nian’s hand, her own hand seemed to have a mind of its own, stroking Su Nian’s.

’Like some kind of pervert... Her hand is so smooth, and it smells good, too...’

[Is this the first time I’ve seen a girl act like such a creep?]

[I swear, her whole expression changed the moment she held the master’s hand.]

[She looks so sleazy now...]

Her face might have been shy, but her hand was not willing to let go.

Su Nian: ???

Feeling her idol’s strange gaze, she finally remembered why she was there.

Truth be told, she wasn’t clinging to Su Nian for no reason; she genuinely had a favor to ask.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t win the lottery draws, and her attempts to queue at the Daoist Temple had failed for one reason or another.

Thankfully, she got ridiculously lucky today.

"Master, I have something I need your help with!"

Her tone was resolute, and so was her grip. She was resolutely not letting go.

Su Nian was exasperated.

"I’m really tired today. Let’s talk about it tomorrow."

After finally managing to coax the girl into leaving, Su Nian went to sleep.

When she woke up in the morning and was about to head to the Daoist Temple, she ran into Qingya, who was waiting for her at the door.

"Heavenly Venerate! Heavenly Venerate! Quick, come see my grandfather!"

"My grandfather really needs help!"

Su Nian pinched her fingers to do a quick divination. It seemed this girl had some karmic connection with her, so after a moment of thought, she agreed.

"That’s great! That’s great! I’ll take you to see my grandfather right now!"

"But I have to stream."

"Of course, that’s fine."

Su Nian explained the situation to her livestream audience, then followed Qingya’s lead while holding up her phone.

Qingya was now telling Su Nian about her grandfather.

"My grandfather never eats beef. He can’t even stand the smell of it. If his chopsticks even accidentally touch beef, he’ll immediately throw them away and get a new pair."

Su Nian nodded silently without saying a word.

[So why does this require a master?]

[Am I the only one who noticed how fancy their neighborhood is?!]

[They definitely look loaded.]

Thinking about it, Qingya added,

"Because of this, my grandmother often got upset and argued with my grandfather."

Su Nian nodded lightly in response. "So, why doesn’t your grandfather eat beef?"

[Yeah, why not?]

[Maybe he just likes cows.]

[Or maybe he feels sorry for them because they work so hard and can’t bear to eat them.]

Qingya glanced at Su Nian, a touch of sadness on her bright face. "I always thought the reason my grandfather didn’t eat beef was because he saw cows as hardworking, uncomplaining animals, and that eating them was too cruel."

"It wasn’t until now, with my grandfather bedridden and his life nearing its end, that he finally told us the reason."

[What kind of reason do you wait until then to reveal?]

[Now I’m even more confused!]

[All I want to say is I waited in line for so long, hoping to get my fortune told today!]

Su Nian saw the questions popping up in the comments and nodded lightly.

"The first five people who came to queue today, find my assistant later to get your names down. I’ll solve your problems for free on my stream tonight."

[The streamer is as kind as she is beautiful!]

[SOB, what a beautiful person!]

[She’s even more beautiful now! She’s my idol!!!]

[What’s even more attractive than her tearing ghosts apart with her bare hands is the word FREE!!]

Qingya’s face flushed a little. Speaking of which, she felt it was quite unethical of her to intercept Su Nian on her way to the Daoist Temple.

Thinking of this, she quickly added, "How about this! I’ll pay for them tonight. I’m the one who took up the streamer’s time, so I’ll cover the cost for everyone!"

Su Nian remained noncommittal and didn’t respond.

But as Qingya spoke, she was already ushering Su Nian into a car.

The car drove on, eventually entering a manor.

The moment they entered the manor, all the fans in the stream collectively dropped their jaws.

[Is that a house with its own pond?]

[And even a small hill???]

[No wonder she offered to pay for everyone. She really is a rich young lady!]

Su Nian glanced around. The manor was beautifully arranged.

It was exquisite and elegant, grand and aesthetically pleasing.

"Continue with your grandfather’s story."

"When my grandfather was young, his family was still very poor. One time, he and a friend were taking a cow to the city to sell it for grain."

"But the roads back then were poorly built. The main road had been washed out by heavy rain, so the two of them had to cross the mountains. The mountain path was too treacherous, and it was their first time taking that route. After more than a week of walking, they still hadn’t found a way out."

"On top of that, their food and water had run out. His friend, tormented by hunger and thirst, suggested slaughtering the cow for food."

[The grandfather probably couldn’t bear to do it. He must have grown attached to the cow.]

[No, I just don’t get what this has to do with needing a master!]

[There has to be a connection! She just hasn’t gotten to the point yet!]

Qingya sighed. "My grandfather disagreed at the time because they were supposed to sell that cow to support their family. If they couldn’t sell it, their family’s food supply would become a problem. Back in those days, having no grain really meant starving to death."

"But my grandfather’s friend only pretended to agree. While my grandfather was out looking for food, he secretly slaughtered the cow."
