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

Chapter 227 - 228: Die Again

Zhang Yang’s heart sank when he heard what Su Nian said. Even the thick makeup couldn’t hide the terror on his face.

He had sought out many, many masters, but found that none were as skilled as his own grandfather. However, his grandfather was in poor health and currently ill. His father said it was because he had meddled in these supernatural affairs too often, damaging his spiritual virtue, which led to his current state.

Now, after finally finding Su Nian on the recommendation of his grandfather’s close friend, he naturally trusted in her abilities. But the very first thing she said was utterly terrifying.

He couldn’t help but shiver. Clearing his throat, he asked tremulously, "Master, are you saying... there’s a ghost around me?"

Seeing him act as if he genuinely had no idea, a flicker of doubt crossed Su Nian’s eyes. "You really don’t know the reason?"

Zhang Yang looked up, and in his nervous eyes, Su Nian could somehow see a kind of clear-eyed stupidity.

Su Nian couldn’t help but sigh. She already had an arrogant, domineering-looking face and had always carried herself with a superior attitude.

Her sudden sigh gave Zhang Yang the distinct feeling that he was about to die.

For a moment, he didn’t even dare to meet her gaze, afraid of what she might say. He turned his head away and, as if steeling himself, said, "Master, just tell me straight. I can handle it!"

Su Nian didn’t answer him. Instead, she asked for his birth date and time, her fingers moving rapidly as she performed a calculation. After divining his fate, even someone as composed as her was a little surprised.

His destiny was truly strange. He was plagued by a vicious ghost, yet he had managed to live this long and even showed signs of having a long life.

"What happened that made you attract a Mirror Ghost?"

[Wait, Nearer Ghost? What’s that?]

[I swear, my allergy to idiots is flaring up. She said MIRROR Ghost! From the word MIRROR!]

[So, why does he smell like a corpse?!]

When Zhang Yang heard Su Nian state so bluntly that it was a Mirror Ghost, he grew even more worried, afraid that even she wouldn’t be able to handle it.

"I don’t know what happened exactly. It’s just... I’m a pretty handsome guy, right? So I’ve always liked looking in the mirror. Then one day, I’d had too much to drink. I was looking in the mirror and for some reason, the person staring back at me looked less and less like myself the longer I stared!"

"Normally, seeing something like that would have scared me off. But I was drunk at the time, so I didn’t realize anything was wrong. I just kept talking to the mirror, to that other me inside, like we were having a heart-to-heart. I told it so much."

As he spoke, he couldn’t help but lower his head in frustration.

[Your narcissism was your downfall!]

[How handsome can you be to be staring in the mirror all the time?!]

[Pouring your heart out to a mirror in the middle of the night, especially when the reflection doesn’t even look like you... You’ve got guts, I’ll give you that!]

Su Nian nodded. "In Feng Shui, a mirror is a tool used to ward off negative energy. Many families will hang a mirror by their front door to redirect the flow of light, which is meant to block malevolent forces."

"However, while it can dispel negative energy, it can also disperse beneficial qi. At night, a person needs to gather their qi, but looking into a mirror does the exact opposite—it scatters it. From a Feng Shui perspective, this is very bad."

"Beyond that, folk taboos say you should never look into a mirror late at night. Under certain conditions, you might see ’people’ other than yourself. In your case, the date must have clashed with your destiny, and on top of that, you broke a major taboo. That’s how you ended up attracting it."

Hearing this, Zhang Yang nodded again and again.

"That’s what my grandfather said, too! But I’m being haunted now, and it just wants to drag me into the mirror! What do I do?!"

Su Nian looked up, a glimmer dancing in her beautiful eyes. The corner of her mouth curved into a smirk as she casually lowered her gaze.

"Then we’ll just have to kill it again, won’t we?"
