The Sweet Life of Superstar and His Goddess Wife-Chapter 99 - 0: Being Watched
Chapter 99: 099: Being Watched
"Speak, why were you following me?" Mu Qiuniang found this guy’s crying somewhat annoying. If it wasn’t for wanting to know who sent him, she would have killed him outright.
No matter how the Daoist robed person cried about his innocence, Mu Qiuniang didn’t relent.
Moreover, seeing the Daoist robed person refuse to talk, she got angry and directly raised her hand to pull up a barrier, using a silver brush to draw a fleshy cocoon, and stuffed it into his mouth.
The fleshy cocoon could still move.
"Ugh..." The Daoist robed person instantly wanted to vomit, but unfortunately, his limbs were entangled by the thorns of the white rose, making him unable to vomit even if he wanted to.
Feeling the thing in his mouth, it slid directly down his throat into his stomach, and the Daoist robed person felt a surge of terror.
"What did you stuff into my mouth?"
Mu Qiuniang coldly replied, "Some bugs that can tear through intestines and stomach. You have 10 minutes, speak or not, it’s up to you."
"What?!" No sooner had the Daoist robed person’s voice fallen than he felt something starting to bore in his stomach.
"Ah!"
"It hurts!"
"Help!"
"Ah! It hurts, it hurts..."
The white rose thorns entangled around the Daoist robed person retracted, and he fell directly to the ground, rolling in pain.
Too terrifying! It was as if countless worms were burrowing in his stomach, and in fact, there really were countless worms drilling in his stomach.
He tore open his Daoist robe on his stomach, revealing a beer belly that was gradually being pushed up. He was horrified to see: there were marks of worms crossing all over his belly. Some couldn’t get across and drilled hard, and as they exerted force, the pain made his hair stand on end.
"I beg you, let me go, I really don’t know anything!"
He pleaded, tugging at the hem of Mu Qiuniang’s robe.
"If you confess honestly, it’ll be over, won’t it?" Mu Qiuniang didn’t even lift her eyelids.
She was still being lenient; her former senior brother and senior sister would consider skinning a minor matter, throwing the soul into some oil pot, frying it several times for endless, excruciating pain that was truly terrifying.
"I really don’t know anything," The Daoist robed person’s sentence was cut by another scream, "Ah—"
A worm the size of a grain of rice crawled out from his belly button, leaving a bloody trail. Other worms seemed to smell the blood and found the exit; they all drilled out one by one.
The Daoist robed person no longer dared to delay and quickly said, "I’ll tell, I’ll tell everything!"
"Stop!" At Mu Qiuniang’s command, all the worms stopped their movement, and she said, "You may speak now."
As it turned out, this matter was actually quite deceptive. This Daoist robed person, in fact, had no real ability besides running fast and knowing some ghost-catching techniques to fool ordinary people.
Not long ago, he received a fresh order from a rare client—to kill Song Weiming and his wife.
For him, it was something that could be resolved by summoning a female ghost, an exceedingly simple task.
However, he didn’t anticipate Song Weiming and his wife possessing a particularly miraculous "Peace Knot" that directly dispelled his ghost. The Daoist robed person instantly spat blood, hiding in a dark corner, glaring at the couple who narrowly escaped.
Damn it!
How did they possess such a thing?!
That mouthful of blood nearly cost the Daoist robed half his life. Simultaneously, he bore a grudge against the one who gave them the Peace Knot, seeking revenge.
Discovering who gave Song Weiming and his wife the pair of Peace Knots was very easy; by simply checking their Weibo, one would see photos previously shared.
Thus, the Daoist robed person found Jiang Nuo and Mu Qiuniang at once.
However, what he didn’t expect was that he was caught red-handed.
Damn it! Was his Invisibility Talisman fake?
One should know that the Invisibility Talisman cost him a fortune, securing it from a master through countless connections. But, to his surprise, the woman he followed was even more formidable, not only breaking the high master’s Protective Talisman but catching him directly.
Wuwuwu... If he had known he’d provoke this woman, he would have hidden far away.
This woman was too deceiving! She looked petite and fragile, like a pampered young lady from a wealthy family. Who knew she was actually a master?!
The Daoist robed person directly confessed everything.
"You wanted to seek revenge on me?"
"No, no, no... You are a master, a minor Taoist who can catch some ghosts would never dare seek revenge on you. Master, I beg you, treat me like a fart and let me go. I honestly had no intention of troubling you; I was just curious about who made such powerful Peace Knots. As you see, I didn’t dare to engage you, just planned to flee... but failed, and got caught by you."
"Was it that you didn’t engage, or did your tricks fail to work?" Behind Mu Qiuniang, the white rose thorns swept out something from the corner, all of which was absorbed by the thorns, with some powder left to present before the Daoist robed person.
Seeing that powder, the Daoist robed person immediately retreated in tension.
"Why back away? Aren’t you going to explain what these things are?"
"This, this... Master, I was wrong! I won’t dare again, please let me go, I won’t dare again..." The Daoist robed person cried directly.
Since he came for revenge, how could he not make a move? He used the Invisibility Talisman to hide in the shadows, sprinkled several batches of "Inner Corrosive Powder" on her. This powder, even for someone with low cultivation like him, could claim half a life if touched.
But strangely, this powder had no effect on her once it landed.
Then, as he was wondering what to do, she realized his presence, prompting him to react instinctively—run.
But unfortunately, this woman’s speed was too fast, and he couldn’t outrun her.
"Going to explain where these things came from?"
"If I say it, will the master let me go?" The Daoist robed person asked in a low voice.
"Depends on the situation."
"I bought it from the black market." The Daoist robed said, "People like us, without an invitation from the Cultivation Market, can’t enter, so we can only find ways to spend money on an underground trading ’black card,’ and go to the black market to pick up some rare goods... These things are what I bought in the Immortal Black Market."
"Where’s your black card?"
"I’d love to present it to the master." The Daoist robed person obediently pulled it out and handed it over.
The black card was just the size of a palm, looking no different from a regular bank card people used, except it was entirely black, with a white kerosene lamp pattern in the center.
"Just drop a single drop onto it and recite a spell, the black card will open a passage to the Immortal Black Market."
"How many times have you gone?"
The Daoist robed person awkwardly replied, "Not many times. Things at the Immortal Black Market are extremely expensive, I don’t have much skill and haven’t been able to gather much money, going there was just to pay the entry fee for nothing."
