Lucky Fortune Cookie Blessings のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 9

In an instant, everything went silent.Mara Kessler’s eyes turned red as she clutched the frayed edge of her patched sleeve, her lips trembling. "W-why? I have money!"I snapped at her, my voice sharp and unforgiving. "I don’t care how much money you have. I’m not selling to you. Leave. Now. Don’t block the next customer."The surrounding crowd was stunned.After all, in all my years selling fortune cookies, I had never turned anyone away. I had always been polite, no matter who it was."Rainie’s usually so easygoing. Why is she being so harsh today?""She’s never refused a customer before. Could she have some kind of grudge against that girl?"My expression hardened. "There’s no point explaining it to you. Just get out of here. Don’t hold up my business, or I’ll make you."Mara lowered her head and shuffled to the side. A few loose strands of hair fell across her forehead, making her look fragile enough to break. She seemed pitiful in a way that tugged at people’s hearts.Som

To avoid running into her, the next day I walked over ten kilometers and set up my stall somewhere else.I didn’t expect Mara to show up again with a whole crowd in tow.This time, several influencers had come too, cameras rolling as they livestreamed, ready to capture the moment she ate the fortune cookie and got pregnant on the spot.Mara dropped to her knees in front of me, clutching her late husband’s memorial portrait."Rainie, if this still isn’t enough, I can take out a loan! Whatever you want, just give me a fortune cookie. I’ll do anything for you, I swear!"Someone in the crowd shouted that I was just trying to go viral, chasing attention and traffic.I shot back immediately, "Even if I don’t make a single cent, I still won’t sell to her. If you feel so sorry for her, go have a kid with her yourself. And let me give you some advice: don’t get tangled up in someone else’s karma, or you’ll end up in serious trouble."At this point, people weren’t even focused on Mara buy

The moment those words left my mouth, the people around me froze in shock.Then, in the very next second, they burst out laughing."This is ridiculous. She’s so desperate to save her reputation that she’s even talking about people dying now?"At that moment, everyone in the livestream was watching. No one cared what I had said. All eyes were fixed on Mara as she finished eating the fortune cookie."Mara, how is it?""Just wait, just wait. There’ll definitely be morning sickness any second now!"However, hours passed. Mara grew more and more anxious. There was still no reaction at all.The livestream viewers helping her started getting agitated, too."Hey, Rainie, what’s your deal? Why didn’t Mara react after eating your fortune cookie?"I let out a cold laugh. "It’s useless. I already told you, she can’t get pregnant.""That’s impossible!"Everyone was stunned.A girl nearby clenched her teeth. "Mara, don’t be scared. I’ll help you!"She asked me to make her a fortune cook

Her reaction startled everyone."There’s nothing down there. My house doesn’t even have a basement. All of you, leave!"Faced with the confusion around me, I let out a soft laugh, my eyes filled with mockery. "Enough. Stop crying. Even if there is a child… it doesn’t belong to her."I’ve been running this stall for eight years. I’ve never failed. Everyone gets pregnant. Do you know why you can’t?"I stared straight at her. "Because you… aren’t Mara Kessler at all."Silence fell instantly.Only Mara’s terrified eyes remained, her voice rising in a scream. "What are you talking about? I am Mara Kessler! Enough! I don’t want your damn fortune cookies anymore. Get out!"I let out a cold laugh and stepped forward."Turn yourself in, Tara Kessler. Otherwise, after eating my death fortune cookies, I’ll make sure you die in agony. Your insides will tear you apart."The moment I said it, her face drained of all color. Her eyes filled with fear as she stared at me. "Tara Kessler? Who’s

In the end, the authorities ruled Tara's case as an accidental death.When I walked out of the police station, I saw a long line of people waiting outside. The moment they saw me, they rushed forward, agitated and desperate."Rainie! Please save my wife!""She’s in terrible pain. She can’t give birth, but she can’t die either. Her stomach’s swollen like a balloon!""Please, Rainie, we were wrong before. We shouldn’t have believed that monster!""As long as you can save my wife, I’ll give you everything I own!"I let out a quiet sigh. "Come with me."I brought them back to my place in the mountains and handed out the talisman-infused herbal mixture I had prepared earlier."Take this back and have your wives drink it. In three days, the children in their wombs will return to normal."I paused, then added coldly, "But remember this, during those three days, they must not be injured or bleed. And they must not look into a mirror. Otherwise, the ghost infants can confuse their mind
