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

Chapter 173 - 174: A Real Ghost in the Haunted House

Xiao Wang wasn’t embarrassed by her poor family background and always maintained a calm demeanor.

"What would you like a reading on this time?"

Su Nian asked.

Xiao Wang’s smile froze, and her face fell. Facing a streamer with genuine abilities, she gathered her thoughts and began to explain her problem.

"After I finished my college entrance exams, I started looking for a job, hoping to earn some money during the break. I found work at a haunted house. Since I’m pretty skinny and have long hair, my job was to play a female ghost."

"I really like the job myself. The work is easy, the pay is good, my coworkers are great to get along with, and they even provide room and board."

[I’ve been a haunted house NPC too. The owner was hilarious.]

[I agree, haunted house owners all seem pretty fun.]

[Not necessarily. I was an NPC for a murder mystery game once, but the owner was a total psycho, and my coworkers were all super catty.]

Xiao Wang seemed lost in thought as she continued, "I love this job. Now that I’m a freshman in college, I still go back to help out part-time. But a few days ago, I realized... I think there’s a real ghost in the haunted house."

As Xiao Wang spoke, her expression was unsettled and her face was a little pale. Her fear was palpable.

This piqued the interest of many people in the livestream chat.

[A real ghost in a haunted house?]

[If this were any other stream, I’d be skeptical, but in the Heavenly Venerate’s stream, I believe it.]

[As a die-hard haunted house fan, my only question is which one it is! I’m so scared!]

Xiao Wang paused here before continuing, "I didn’t notice at first. I just thought the haunted house was a bit cold. And every time I came back from there, I’d either get a fever or a cold. I’d also lose things and so on... basically, I’d just have a run of bad luck."

"I didn’t think about it that way at first, but it happened so many times, and the coincidences were a bit too much. Plus, being from the countryside, I’m more inclined to believe in this sort of thing, so I started paying closer attention."

"I found out there’s a ’female ghost’s boudoir’ scene in the haunted house. That room is freezing cold, and there’s a coffin inside. It’s obviously fake, but it’s incredibly creepy. I always feel like there’s a real, invisible ghost hiding inside that coffin."

Her voice was soft, and as she spoke, her expression and tone were spot-on. Despite her thick rural accent, she somehow drew the listeners in, creating a powerful sense of immersion.

[Sounds spooky, but I feel like it’s all psychological.]

[There’s no definite ghost sighting. It doesn’t seem very real, more like she’s just grasping at shadows.]

[All I can say is, don’t underestimate anyone in the Heavenly Venerate’s stream.]

Su Nian stared at her for a moment, then raised her hand and began to perform a divination.

Meanwhile, the girl continued speaking.

"At first, I thought it was just my imagination. But during the recent holiday, the haunted house was packed with customers, especially for the night sessions. I was practically living there during that time. Luckily, there’s a dedicated break room for female staff, as well as a bathroom."

"I remember one day, my stomach was really hurting, so I went to the bathroom by myself..."

[Forget the other stuff, this part sounds really fake.]

[Are you just trying to get the streamer’s attention with a ghost story?]

[Yeah, didn’t you just say you knew something was wrong with the place? And you still went by yourself?!]

Xiao Wang looked indignant, her expression of fear somewhat washed away.

"I ain’t lyin’!"

Flustered, Xiao Wang’s accent slipped out.

Then she caught herself and corrected her speech.

"I knew there was a problem, but at the time, I also doubted myself, wondering if I was just imagining things."

"But I was also really scared, so I made a pact with a coworker to go to the bathroom together at night. But she broke her promise. I went with her when she had to go, but when it was my turn, she wouldn’t go with me."

"I was so mad at the time, but I really couldn’t hold it in anymore, so I had to go to the bathroom by myself, cursing under my breath. At first, I was too angry to feel scared."

"But halfway through, I realized something was wrong. The bathroom was freezing, absolutely freezing. And the strangest part was, I saw a pair of embroidered shoes float past the stall door!"

"And those embroidered shoes were from the prop room! Everyone thinks they’re bad luck; there’s no way anyone would wear them!"

"The scariest part was, I was so terrified that I... I couldn’t help but fart. I think the thing heard me! What do I do? Is it going to come after me?!"

At this point, Xiao Wang began to tremble uncontrollably.

Su Nian looked up. There was indeed a faint aura of ghost energy clinging to the girl.

But there were no signs of her being haunted by an Evil Ghost.

[Does it have to be so scary? Embroidered shoes?]

[Could it be one of those ghost bride stories?]

[Hard to say, but I have to admire your bravery for farting while seeing a ghost.]

Su Nian pondered for a moment before asking a question.

"And then?"

"And then... I was terrified. But I waited in the stall for a long time, and when I didn’t hear anything, I quietly ran back. Nothing strange happened after that."

"But I always feel like that room with the coffin is getting colder and colder, as if there’s a ghost floating around inside."

[So scary! Is the ghost charging up a super move?!]

[Listening to ghost stories late at night is so thrilling. My house feels so lively now... like there are tons of eyes watching me.]

[Hey, person above me, can you not say that? I live alone and you’re really scaring me!]

[Could this be your boss’s scheme? Putting a real ghost in a haunted house? The scariness level would be off the charts.]

The livestream audience was terrified. Some had already started spamming "Bad luck be gone" and "No offense intended" in the comments.

Another group had started a conspiracy theory, believing the owner was intentionally raising a ghost.

But Xiao Wang waved her hands dismissively, looking like that was impossible. "You’re overthinking it. My boss is super rich. This haunted house is just a side hobby for him; he doesn’t really care about it. He has much bigger businesses to run. He wouldn’t resort to something like this for the haunted house."

Su Nian nodded at her words and said bluntly, "The ghost indeed wasn’t brought here by your boss. It chose this place specifically."

Xiao Wang was stunned, her face a mask of confusion.

’Is this following the usual trope? Could there be some object of ultimate yin hidden in the haunted house?!’

The livestream audience had the same thought.

[Could it be that the female ghost suffered a great injustice?!]

[Was she murdered, and that’s why she became a ghost and came back?]

[I think so too! It’s definitely a ghost bride situation!]

Seeing the bullet comments, Xiao Wang turned pale with fright. A chill ran down her spine, and she subconsciously glanced around.

"Streamer, what on earth is going on?!"

Su Nian looked at the bullet comments, finding their wild imaginations somewhat amusing.

"Is it convenient for you to go to the escape room right now?"
