Master, Your Wife Has Become a Super Star Through Fortune-Telling-Chapter 47 - 49: Greed?

The Spider Demon’s expression stiffened. ’She knew this person had some skill, but she didn’t expect her to be this powerful.’

’To see through my true form in such a short time...’

"Aren’t you afraid of suffering heavenly retribution for this?"

The Spider Demon said nothing, but after a moment, it lifted its head and spoke proudly to Heart Echo.

"So what? Her own husband was the one who invited me."

"He enjoyed the benefits and now he wants to just toss me aside? There’s no such free lunch in this world!"

The Spider Demon’s tone was indignant, while Heart Echo’s face gradually turned pale. ’So the husband I’ve always treasured... has actually been cheating on me for a long time?’

’And with a Spider Demon?!’

She couldn’t accept it and stumbled back a step.

[What a disgusting scumbag!]

[His wife is so worried about him, but who knew this was all because he was cheating.]

[Why even bother with a guy like that? Just let him die!]

The live chat was full of scorn, and some of the male viewers felt ashamed.

"No wonder... he became unwilling to be intimate with me and was busy all day, every day. I never believed it... I thought it was really something important, some kind of work! It turns out there were signs all along!"

She thought of the lamp she left on late at night, the milk she warmed for him in the morning, her husband who came home late, and the strange perfume on his clothes.

’The truth is this cruel.’

[Don’t cry, beautiful. You’re so rich and pretty, you can definitely find someone better.]

[I just don’t get it. Why aren’t there any good men in the world?]

[Seriously, this is such a disgrace to us men!]

Watching Heart Echo’s tears stream down her face, Su Nian sighed.

"Don’t listen to her nonsense. She and your husband never had any sort of relationship!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Heart Echo looked up.

"R-Really?"

"Yes. I’ll make it tell you."

The Spider Demon wore a defiant expression. ’Want me to talk? Dream on! Bring on the torture. If I can’t take it, I lose!’

"I won’t say a thing!"

Hearing its refusal, Su Nian’s reaction was calm. She simply cast a strange glance at the demon’s abdomen.

"I’ve heard that a Spider Demon’s silk can be used to make a very powerful treasure. I wonder if that’s true."

Extracting its silk was equivalent to taking its life, like harvesting a person’s organs and blood while they were still alive. The Spider Demon’s scalp tingled with fear in an instant.

’This woman is so vicious...’

"I’ll talk!"

The Spider Demon said, its voice full of humiliation.

"He and I really never had a relationship. He asked me to come here to treat your illness."

’Treat my illness?’

Heart Echo was a bit dazed.

"Other than some poor sleep, chest tightness, and shortness of breath recently, I’ve been perfectly fine."

The Spider Demon’s expression soured again. ’It feels like this damn woman is showing off to me.’

"I’m a spider who only recently became a spirit monster. I had just taken human form when your husband’s family used some object to discover I wasn’t a normal person, and so they found me."

"At first, I thought he was taken with my beauty, but it turns out he was after my life!"

"He actually performed a wicked Magic, trying to transfer my lifespan to you!"

The Spider Demon’s eyes were filled with venomous hatred.

"But I’m not so easily fooled. After I discovered my lifespan was constantly decreasing, I realized something was wrong."

"Your husband even lied to me, saying he valued my good character."

The Spider Demon grew even more furious at the thought!

"Only an idiot would fall for that! Of course I didn’t believe him."

"After I realized something was wrong, I reversed the Magic Artifact. You humans wanted my lifespan, and I wanted a human’s Essence."

"Besides, your human world is so wonderful, I deserve to live here. I’m powerful and beautiful—all of this should be mine!"

"And what right do you have to act all innocent? If it weren’t for my lifespan, you would have died a long time ago!"

The more the Spider Demon spoke, the angrier it became, looking like it wanted to rush over and take a few bites out of Heart Echo.

"How is that possible? He An couldn’t be that kind of person..."

Heart Echo was unwilling to believe it, but everything happening before her eyes left her utterly confused.

[So this is the truth of the matter?]

[Sigh, when you think about it, she was just trying to take back what belonged to her.]

[You can only say that good is rewarded and evil is punished in the end. Whatever wrongs you commit, you’ll face the consequences!]

[Heart Echo seems innocent, but she’s clearly the biggest beneficiary. It’s disgusting!]

But Su Nian frowned.

A cold sneer touched the corner of her lips. "You look to me like a toad jumping off a cliff, trying to be Batman! Do me a favor and shut your mouth. Stop spicing things up and making shit up!"

The Spider Demon, who had been in the middle of its tirade, faltered. Heart Echo, on the other hand, was once again baffled.

’I hadn’t even finished processing what I just heard, and now there’s another twist?’

"Truly a rare spirit monster. You’ve certainly cultivated your ability to confuse people quite well."

"Now you suddenly decide to play the victim? In the end, he was clearly deliberately confused by you."

"Wasn’t it you who approached He An first, claiming you could cure his wife’s illness?"

[Oho! A double twist!]

[From what the Host is saying, this Spider Demon is definitely the villain!]

[She was the one who confused him, and just now she was acting so convincing!]

[Putting on that innocent, pitiful act!]

The teardrops clinging to Heart Echo’s face trembled, on the verge of falling.

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

"After this Spider Demon became a spirit monster, it discovered that the Spiritual Energy in the world was already very thin. Becoming a spirit monster was probably the best it could ever achieve." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"But upon entering the human world, it was quickly captivated by its prosperity. So, it got some crooked ideas, tricking people by claiming to be some kind of master who could turn their luck around and extend their lives."

"Your husband, being overly worried about you at the time, found it. It gave your husband a little something to stew and give you to eat. Because that thing contained Spiritual Power, it actually had some effect, so your husband came to believe it completely."

"But he always remained a bit cautious. That is, until it deliberately revealed that it had an incredible amount of lifespan, and mentioned that there was a method in the world to transfer someone else’s life."

"It even planted suggestions in your husband’s dreams, making him obsess over the matter day and night. And your husband went from being resolute at first, to hesitant, and finally decided to go through with it."

The Spider Demon’s face grew uglier. It never expected Su Nian to reveal everything so easily.

"B-But why would it go to such great lengths?"

Heart Echo didn’t quite understand.

"It was afraid of shouldering the karmic consequences, so it could only make your husband act first. But from a certain perspective, your husband is also to blame for this. He couldn’t resist the temptation."

"But your husband has received his retribution for it. He didn’t know this was a trap set by the Spider Demon, but later on, he still felt what he was doing was wrong. So he confessed to the Spider Demon, preparing to return its lifespan."

"However, he never expected that what the Spider Demon wanted from the very beginning was both of your lives. To put his mind at ease, it even pretended to accept. The reason your husband is in his current state is that his lifespan was divided—a small part was given to you, while the majority was absorbed by this Spider Demon!"

"Now, give the lifespan back!"

Su Nian’s tone was icy, and the Spider Demon was extremely unwilling.

"No matter what you say, he did this willingly!"

"Little spider, listen to me closely. I’m not asking for your opinion, I’m informing you. Or would you prefer to lose a few limbs before you’re willing?"
