Master, Your Wife Has Become a Super Star Through Fortune-Telling Chapter 258 - 259: My Dad Is a Materialist

[A ghost that steals booze?]

[This is getting interesting.]

[A ghost that still wants to steal booze after dying probably isn’t all that bad.]

Su Nian nodded and asked, "Besides that, have you encountered anything else?"

The girl’s expression grew even more fearful.

"At the cetery, my dad still didn’t believe it. But after we got ho, he tried to put out that cigarette butt and just couldn’t, no matter what he did."

"My dad’s so stubborn. In the end, he had to soak it in water for a long ti before it finally went out."

[I get it now. He really is stubborn.]

[I’m just curious, is he really not scared?]

[That’s pretty brave. I’d be terrified, personally.]

Xiao Yuxi spoke while covering her forehead, clearly exasperated by the whole thing.

But there was nothing she could do about her dad’s stubbornness.

Su Nian asked, "So the cigarette couldn’t be put out at the ti?"

"That’s right."

Hearing Su Nian’s question, Xiao Yuxi continued to explain.

"The situation was really bizarre. The cigarette butt kept flickering, glowing and dimming. It was almost burned all the way down, but it just wouldn’t go out."

"My dad tried grinding it out in the ashtray, twisting it around a few tis, but it still wouldn’t extinguish. The butt just kept burning. In the end, he had no choice but to pour a bunch of water into the ashtray. Even then it didn’t go out right away; it had to soak for a while before it was finally extinguished."

[The more I listen, the more I think Xiao Yuxi’s dad is sothing else.]

[Right? Even after all that, he’s still so stubborn.]

[If it were , I’d have been Googling what to do in that situation right away.]

And as luck would have it, just as Xiao Yuxi was speaking, a man’s head leaned into view.

"What are you looking at?!"

The man was in his fifties, with a beard and a fierce look about him. His arms were covered in large tattoos. Right now, his expression was nacing as he asked Xiao Yuxi angrily.

Xiao Yuxi wasn’t the least bit afraid of her own father. She just said with a sigh, "Dad, what is it! I’m just watching a livestream."

"A livestream? Heh heh! Let learn a thing or two!"

Hearing his daughter’s reply, the man happily patted his belly, his fierce expression lting into a good-natured one. He peered at the computer screen with great interest.

He even asked enthusiastically, "What do you think about becoming an influencer?"

Xiao Yuxi: "..."

[This guy is pretty trendy.]

[A man’s gotta have a dream. I want that dream too.]

[My dream is to date the strear.]

[My dream is to make this guy my father-in-law.]

Xiao Yuxi facepald. Her dad had always been interested in new trends and had a lot of exposure to them.

Especially now, seeing that she was watching a livestream, he was instantly intrigued.

The bald, big-bellied, heavily-tattooed man now wore a simple, honest expression, his eyes full of curiosity as he looked at the screen.

For so reason, it even made him seem a little bit cute.

[This guy is so trendy.]

[And he’s so open-minded. A lot of older people these days think livestreaming and all that isn’t proper.]

[I know, right? He looks so interested, but there isn’t a trace of creepiness in the way he’s looking at the strear. I just find it so pure.]

[Pure? I don’t see it. But I do see that he really wants to be an influencer.]

But this just gave Xiao Yuxi an even bigger headache. Her dad was indeed very accepting of these things.

But there was one exception: he didn’t believe in ghosts or spirits. If he found out she was getting her fortune told right now, there was no telling what he’d say to her.

Su Nian said, "Aside from all that, has anything else unusual happened?"

"What’s happening? What’s happening?"

Another head leaned in. This ti, it was a woman with yellowish, perd hair.

She wore absurdly large earrings, and her eyebrows were arched high, giving her a very sharp look.

"Mom, I’m watching a livestream!"

Xiao Yuxi was truly at her wit’s end now. She was just trying to watch a livestream, and she’d attracted her entire family.

The viewers in the stream, however, couldn’t help but praise her family’s atmosphere.

[Her family’s vibe is so good. No one’s even arguing.]

[Yeah, and they’re so bold. They don’t seem timid or scared at all, even after encountering a ghost.]

The initially enthusiastic father finally noticed sothing was off after seeing that comnt.

"Who ran into a ghost? Who are you saying ran into a ghost? There are no such things as ghosts in this world!"

"Under the leadership of our great nation, no demons or monsters can exist!"

He started yelling.

But before Su Nian or the viewers could either argue with him or praise his conviction, the woman with the perd hair shot back.

"Bullshit! Let ask you, last night when we were sleeping, didn’t the room sll of smoke all night?"

"But you weren’t smoking at all. I knew sothing was wrong right then. I told you it was a ghost, but you still wouldn’t believe ."

But the man still looked defiant.

"What are you talking about? That was smoking. The room slled of smoke all night because we didn’t open a window to air it out!"

The woman sneered and smacked the man on the back of his head.

"Bullshit my ass!"

The woman said, her voice rising with agitation, "I clearly saw a puff of white smoke drifting around the house."

"And the glowing cherry of the cigarette, flickering on and off—one mont it was by the head of the bed, the next it was by the door. That was clearly a ghost walking around with a cigarette in its mouth."

"I told you so at the ti, but you wouldn’t believe ! If I hadn’t been so tired and fallen asleep yesterday, I would have argued with you about it all night long."

[For a second there, I couldn’t decide what was more impressive: how brave the mom is, or how long that ghost can last.]

[And after all that, the dad still thinks there’s no ghost?]

[This guy’s a real enigma.]

Seeing the viewers’ speculation, Xiao Yuxi helplessly ca out to explain.

"My dad was a soldier for a few years, so he’s never believed in this stuff."

"Never mind if he doesn’t believe it. Strear, do you have any good ideas for how to handle this?"

Su Nian didn’t reply. At that mont, her attention was captivated by the ghost in the room.

It was a ghost dressed from head to toe in ragged clothes.

Its hair was matted and hung around a face that was covered in black gri and nurous scars.

The cuffs of its pants were soaked in what looked like blood that had since turned black.

And right now, this ghost was drifting back and forth in their living room, as if searching for a target.

Xiao Yuxi noticed Su Nian’s unusual silence.

The viewers naturally noticed it too. But when everyone followed Su Nian’s gaze,

they discovered a small, floating point of light had appeared in the living room at so unknown mont...

Actually, calling it a "point of light" wasn’t quite right. The light was far too small, too dim.

It was only about the size of a pinky fingernail, and in the dim light of the room, it flickered faintly, almost as if it were breathing...
