The Fake Medium Gets a Marriage Proposal from a Real Evil God

The new neighbor is surrounded by a murderous aura, black-red and ominous.

As a rising star of the mystic arts, Jiang Fengsi can tell at a glance that the man definitely isn't human. He starts rummaging through boxes for his tools, ready to rid the world of evil.

“What are all these for?”

Jiang Fengsi feels a chill crawl down his back. He turns around to find Wen Su gazing at his demon-subduing kit, his whole body wreathed in blood-red energy.

Jiang Fengsi tosses out a handful of coins and makes things up as he goes. “I see your love star is shining, peach blossoms are blooming around you, and joy is at your doorstep. There's even the Fire and Greedy Wolf stars... See these seven coins? This reading is Gou, Wind over Heaven. Your destined match will appear in the next few days.”

Late that night, Jiang Fengsi is just about to run away when he opens the door and runs straight into a cold embrace.

Wen Su pins him against the wall with one hand. “Master, you're really accurate. As the saying goes, a nearby match beats one far away. I'm in love with you. Let's get married.”

Jiang Fengsi swallows. “...I'm underage.”

Wen Su squeezes his wrist. “No, your bones say you're twenty-two.”

Jiang Fengsi: “...”
