Chapter 28 - 28: Fixation Spell, Bliss Needle
Huang Xiaolong’s outrageous fluke of a play hit Brother Hu and his gang like a thunderclap, leaving them scorched inside and out!
Silence!
The VIP room was eerily quiet!
“Sister Xiaoman, I won!” Huang Xiaolong cheered shamelessly. “Now not only can I repay what I owe, but I can also build a school in our village! Our village doesn’t have a decent school, and many children haven’t been to school. Now it’s all right! Now it’s all right! I can already picture my little brothers and sisters studying in a bright and clean classroom!”
Huang Xiaolong felt genuinely joyous inside.
He came from the mountains, carrying a sacred mission!
Make money! Get married! Go to university!
“Brother Yin Si, Brother Hu, thank you! On behalf of the children in the mountain area, I thank you!” Huang Xiaolong wore a sincere expression and looked at the dumbfounded Brother Yin Si and Brother Hu. Thanking us on behalf of the children in the mountain area?
Fuck off!
Brother Hu almost cried…
This round, Huang Xiaolong walked away from the casino with hundreds of thousands of dollars. Although this amount of money wouldn’t cripple the casino, as the person in charge of the venue, Brother Hu certainly couldn’t afford to lose that much.
Thinking about the boss’s ruthless methods, Brother Hu’s body broke out in goosebumps. The thought of being forced out wasn’t as scary as the idea of losing his skin! The more he thought about it, the more terrified he became. His body started quivering like a sieve. Finally, he steeled himself and, with a murderous look in his eyes, said to Brother Yin Si in a serious tone.
At this very moment, Brother Yin Si was totally flustered!
He clenched the willow wood plaque on his chest desperately. He could distinctly feel that he lost contact with it!
This willow plaquette was something Brother Yin Si had acquired at great expense. Over the recent years, it had become his biggest reliance in the gambling scene. But now…
Without the willow plaquette, it was as if Brother Yin Si had lost an arm!
Although Brother Yin Si didn’t know what exactly happened, he suspected that it had something to do with the seemingly innocent but cunning peasant in front of him!
“Damn it! Village bumpkin! What the hell did you do?” Brother Yin Si was furious. He shakily stood up, pointed at Huang Xiaolong, and his eyes were filled with deep-seated hatred.
Brother Yin Si, who already looked like a ghoul, was now even more terrifying with his rage. Su Xiaoman lost her color and retreated to Huang Xiaolong’s side, clutching Huang Xiaolong’s clothes tightly.
“Huh?” Huang Xiaolong appeared calm. “What did I do? I saved your life and helped you get rid of the unclean stuff. But this time I won’t take your money. After all, you have made a great contribution to the children in the mountain area.”
“Mother f*cker! I knew it was you messing around!” Brother Yin Si was fuming. “I’ll chop you to pieces!”
Hearing Brother Yin Si’s threat, Brother Hu was no longer hesitant. He kicked the mahjong table over with a rapid move!
The mahjong tiles and chips scattered on the floor.
Seeing this, the man with glasses, who had been playing mahjong with them, was scared out of his wits and fled the room.
Huang Xiaolong stood up in surprise. “What’s all this about? Fine, you city folk have such volatile temperaments. It’s getting late. Pay up, and I’ll be on my way home to sleep.”
“Win? You think you’ve won?” A cruel smirk spread across Brother Hu’s face. “Village bumpkin, clearly you lost the last game! You lost everything and even owe me the secret recipe for Peking Duck! Hurry up and write that down! After which, get as far away as possible from here! Otherwise—”
Brother Hu lifted his shirt to reveal the dagger threaded at his belt.
“Lock the door!”
With a single glance from Brother Hu, his minions, including Brother
Earthworm, swiftly turned around and locked the door of the VIP room.
“You… you guys calm down! I… I’m going to call the police…” Su Xiaoman said, her face full of terror.
“Aha? Is this… are you reneging on the wager?” Now, rage was visibly simmering in Huang Xiaolong’s eyes. The actions of Brother Hu and the others had crossed a line. “I hate dishonest people the most! I obviously won the game! You must pay me! And you— he pointed at Yin Si, “You repay kindness with ingratitude!”
“To hell with you! It seems like you won’t cry until you see the coffin!” Brother Hu, emboldened by desperation, drew his dagger in a flash. The chilling blade exuded a murderous aura!
“Guys, deal with this peasant!” Brother Hu waved his dagger, gradually closing in on Huang Xiaolong.
Brother Earthworm and the others drew out their concealed weapons like switchblades and daggers. One of the henchmen even took out a 300,000-volt stun gun. A common man struck by this weapon would foam at the mouth and lose consciousness.
Never before had Su Xiaoman seen such a scene. She was nearly scared senseless. More than anything, she was concerned about Huang Xiaolong’s well-being and didn’t want him to get hurt. Plucking up her courage, she shouted, “You all stop it! Don’t hit him! We… we… don’t want the money… This whole thing was my fault… It has nothing to do with Little Long… Come at me if you dare!”
“Xiaoman, don’t worry. In a bit, we’ll take good care of you…hahahahaBrother Earthworm wielded his switchblade skillfully. Though he had once been humiliated by Huang Xiaolong, he felt invincible with a weapon at hand.
“Sister Xiaoman, don’t worry, they will pay me.” Despite the impending danger, Huang Xiaolong remained calm and took it upon himself to reassure Su Xiaoman.
The very next moment, Huang Xiaolong’s countenance turned serious, and he began to recite quietly, “Halt! Halt! Halt! Halt…!”
Gleams of golden light, invisible to the naked eye, were released from his mouth and quickly formed into majestic golden “Halt” characters!
These “Halt” characters plunged directly into Brother Yin Si, Brother Hu, and the other’s bodies!
In an instant, Brother Yin Si, Brother Hu, and the others’ bodies seemed to be bound by an unexplainable power, rooted on the spot! Not to mention their four limbs; they couldn’t even move a single muscle or organ in their bodies!
Huang Xiaolong was chanting the “Body Freezing Spell,” capable of stopping ghosts, animals, and humans!
If those who know the mystical arts saw Huang Xiaolong’s immobilization spell, they would bow down in sincere worship.
Anyone should realize that the real immobilization spell has been mostly lost. What’s more, Huang Xiaolong didn’t even use any hand signs or talisman, and even the chanting time was extremely short. It was practically instantaneous.
It’s truly an enchanting technique!
“You guys better give me my money!” Huang Xiaolong demanded with righteous indignation, looking at the life-sized “statues” in the room. “Every single dime!”
“Mo…monstrous…”},
“What on earth are you?” Brother Yin Si, with eyes bulging out, looked at Huang Xiaolong as if he had seen a ghost. A deep-rooted fear had grasped him tightly.
“What exactly did you do to us? Release us at once!” Brother Hu demanded, looking fierce yet weak.
“Give me my money, and I’ll naturally let you go.” Huang Xiaolong pressed, without giving an inch.
Immobilized, they were like fish on a cutting board at the mercy of the butcher. The first to cave in was Brother Yin Si, “Hey… young man, let’s talk this over… don’t… leave some room for future dealings… we, we offended you… I’11…I’11 call our boss…as long as he agrees, money is no issue… you see, several million, we can’t decide on our own…”
“Brother Yin Si, don’t be scared of him! I won’t believe he’d dare to do anything to us! Peasant boy, what are you gonna do, kill us? Ha ha ha ha—Did you know, murder means a death sentence? Deliberate harm will land you in prison!” Brother Hu threatened.
“Little Long, you…” Su Xiaoman didn’t know what Huang Xiaolong had done, but the worry on her face had given way to a sort of crazy and blind admiration!
In the end, she realized, the youngster in front of her had a strength and an array of tricks she couldn’t even guess!
Unbelievably powerful!
“Sister Xiaoman, don’t worry, I won’t do anything illegal.” Huang Xiaolong grinned. “I only want to get back the money that belongs to me.”
Having said that, Huang Xiaolong leisurely walked towards Brother Hu. “Relax. I’m not going to hit you, let alone kill you.”
“Hmph!” Brother Hu’s face squeeze out a smile uglier than crying. “Just let us go! We can forget all about this… peasant boy, let me tell you the truth, although you have some skills, if you offend our boss, your entire family will be wiped out! No matter how strong you are, there are some people in this world you just can’t mess with! ‘
“Your boss?” Huang Xiaolong, hearing Brother Hu threaten him time and time again, became irate. “I couldn’t care less who your boss is! As long as he doesn’t mess with me, it’s all right. But if he dares to provoke me, I won’t hold back!” Having said that, Huang Xiaolong took out a silver needle from his pocket.
Three inches long.
Huang Xiaolong, without saying a word, held the needle and swiftly pricked a spot near Brother Hu’s stomach, through his clothes.
Brother Hu only felt a twinge like being bitten by an ant, then a warm stream infiltrating every cell of his body.
“Damn it! What… what did you do to me?” Brother Hu screamed out in fear.
Huang Xiaolong didn’t say a word, but took out his silver needle and pricked Brother Yin Si and Brother Earthworm in the lower abdomen, one after the other.
“Done! Sorted!” Huang Xiaolong laughed, putting away the silver needle.
“That’s a needle spell called ‘Heavenly Delight’. It’s fun, you’ll know in a while.” “Young bro… don’t go too far!” Brother Yin Si suddenly felt something was off.
The next moment…
“Hiss! woo-
Brother Yin Si let out a pig-slaughtering shriek, feeling unbearable pain and itch over his whole body.
Actually, the pain might be bearable, but there’s no remedy for the itch.
The itch went down to his bones, making him wish to grind them on the floor until they became dust!
In the room, Brother Hu and the others soon began screaming extremely shrill.
“This ‘Heavenly Delight needle’ Huang Xiaolong began to explain matter-of-factly, “in addition to the pain and itchiness, will make vou…hehe…every few minutes, if I don’t do anything, you’ll continue to have this much fun until a couple of hours later, you can go and check into the Western Paradise. Oh yes, when a forensic doctor examines your bodies afterward, they’ll decide you died of ecstasy…hehe, it’s not my fault.’
Having said that, Huang Xiaolong sat leisurely on a chair, legs crossed, thoroughly enjoying himself.
Brother Hu, Brother Yin Si, and the others were stunned, they looked at each other and could not utter a word.
Minutes quickly passed…
“Peasant boy…you…I…I’m …” Brother Hu’s face instantly turned a grayish-black. He was filled with a deep sense of fatigue and weakness.
He was scared.
Brother Dr. Hu was really scared.
If this continues, even a tough guy won’t be able to handle it!
In a little while, he’ll probably dry up and turn into a mummy!
“.I… .I will give the money! Damn, I submit… .I’ll give the money! Forgive me, let me off the hook…” Brother Hu finally started screaming non-stop, his voice breaking.
“Ahu, pay up quickly! My body’s already weak… If we keep going like this, I can’t keep up with the nutrients…stop…stop it…young man…no, big brother, we were wrong, isn’t giving the money enough? Big brother, I beg you to let us go…” Brother Yin Si also cried desperately.
