Chapter 175: Start Making Money (Sixth Update)
Master Zhou’s soul let out a high-pitched squeal, like a mouse gnashing its teeth.
It pleaded, it threatened, using both soft and hard tactics.
“He he he…I look forward to your master coming to Binhai to find me for some fun,” Huang Xiaolong sneered, and then tossed Master Zhou’s soul into the soul container.
“Make sure to treat it well but remember, don’t scatter its spirit. I have other uses for it,” Huang Xiaolong commanded the malicious spirits in the soul container.
The next moment
“Ah !!!!!! Don’t…bite me ah!!!!!!!”
Master Zhou’s soul let out a heart-wrenching howl within the soul container.
After dealing with Master Zhou and imprisoning his soul, Huang Xiaolong took a small medicine bottle out of a canvas bag.
He removed the wooden plug and poured out some pale yellow powder from the bottle.
Sizzling? sizzling? sizzling
Master Zhou’s body and the blood on the floor, tainted by the yellow powder, immediately started to sizzle, as if doused in strong sulfuric acid, entirely corroded and evaporated.
Soon, the ground was completely clean, without a trace to be found.
“Hoo Finally, this chore is done,” Huang Xiaolong let out a happy smile.
This should bring some justice to those little friends who were brutally skinned and killed!
“Little Long…” Cui Feiyan ran over. “You…you…you killed this psychopath…will there be any trouble?”
Cui Feiyan had never witnessed a murder in her life.
Of course, the psychopath deserved to die, and there was no sympathy for him.
However, she was mainly worried that Huang Xiaolong would get into trouble and face legal issues.
“He he, Feiyan, don’t worry. Look, I’ve disposed of the evidence,” Huang Xiaolong said nonchalantly. “Without a body, nobody can do anything to me. Let’s go, this place is creepy enough. Let’s leave quickly.”
With that, Huang Xiaolong smashed the body storage container to pieces to avoid causing any trouble to the human world.
“Oh…” Cui Feiyan nodded, then quickly followed Huang Xiaolong, leaving the store.
“Little Long… that ghost in the purple dress… really… really became your maid?” Cui Feiyan couldn’t help but ask curiously.
“Pfft~~~ Feiyan, of course it’s true. But I did it just for fun.” Huang Xiaolong said nonchalantly. “The purple ghost is the leader among malicious spirits, quite rare in the world. Since I found it, might as well make it my maid. After all, I’ve already kept many ghosts, this one won’t make a difference. If she disobeys my orders, I’ll destroy her in a snap.”
“Little Long, sometimes you really can’t be figured out,” Cui Feiyan murmured.
Eventually, both of them left Zhou’s store.
It was noon, the sun was blazing outside, and the hot breeze refreshed Cui Feiyan’s spirit.
“Little Long, where are you going now?” With Huang Xiaolong by her side, Cui Feiyan didn’t seem to be in a hurry to get back to the company.
“Let’s go for lunch first,” Huang Xiaolong chuckled. “Feiyan, this afternoon, I’ll take you to earn money.”
“Huh?” Cui Feiyan was slightly stunned.
“Feiyan, have you already forgotten? I promised to help you earn 5 billion within 24 hours.” Huang Xiaolong pulled out his phone and took a look at the time, saying very seriously, “Now it’s 12:27 pm…Feiyan, we have to hurry, by this time tomorrow, I must have earned those 5 billion for you…”
“Little Long… Can you stop joking?” After witnessing everything that happened today, Cui Feiyan believed Huang Xiaolong was indeed powerful, but she still couldn’t believe that he could earn 5 billion.
Given a few years, or even just one year, it might not be impossible for him to earn 5 billion.
But…within 24 hours?
You must be kidding!
“Little Long, let’s drop this issue, OK?” Cui Feiyan shook her head. “I don’t want to put you under such enormous pressure. I think…I can find a solution.”
“Feiyan, what are you talking about? I’m a man, and a man should keep his word! This is my philosophy. Alright, don’t waste any time, let’s go have lunch.” Huang Xiaolong urged impatiently.
“Alright then…” Cui Feiyan shook her head.
Their lunch was simple: a bowl of beef noodles for each, with Huang Xiaolong covering the bill.
After finishing the noodles, they walked around the neighborhood without driving, looking for their next money-making target.
Being with Huang Xiaolong, Cui Feiyan always felt relaxed and comfortable, so she just followed his pace, leisurely wandering around.
“Little Long, how are you planning to make money? You must have a plan, right?” Cui Feiyan asked, looking slightly worried.
“Well…Feiyan, what I’m best at is healing diseases and exorcising ghosts…I’m currently looking for people suffering from incurable diseases…I mean, if a person is about to die, and I cure him and give him a second life, then he would give me a lot of money.” Huang Xiaolong laughed brightly.
It seems, he was very optimistic. To him, 5 billion didn’t weigh him down but instead gave him motivation to strive for more.
As they strolled, a middle-aged fat man with a briefcase rushed toward them. Dressed neatly, he certainly didn’t look like an average office worker.
“Feiyan! Here comes our business! Wait for me.” Huang Xiaolong casually glanced at the fat middle-aged man.
Then he strode forward.
Cui Feiyan also followed, watching with interest.
“Excuse me, sir, could you wait a moment?” Huang Xiaolong stopped the middle-aged fat man with a chummy smile.
“What do you want? Do you know me?” The man’s face darkened slightly as he instinctively protected his briefcase, looking vigilantly from left to right.
“Sir, you are sick. May I help you with your disease?” Huang Xiaolong asked politely.
“What? You say I’m sick?” The man’s eyes flashed a hint of murderous intent. “Damn it, get lost! You’re trying to scam me, kid, but you’re too green!”
“Sir, I’m not scamming you. Your facial skin looks dull, your face is dark, lacking luster and elasticity. Your skin is dry and rough, especially around your eyes which looks particularly grayish, like panda eyes. Your nose tip shows signs of small blood vessel dilation, appearing like a fine network…you have liver cancer in its early stage. It’s so early that hospitals can’t detect it yet. But I could treat you with acupuncture, and you’ll have a healthy body again. My fee is not high, for terminal illnesses…uh, let’s say 500,000, okay?” Huang Xiaolong spoke non-stop.
“500,000? Early stage of liver cancer?” The man’s face showed a ferocious anger. The next moment, he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to beat up Huang Xiaolong. “Damn it! Little bastard! I’ll kill you! You dare to scam me!”
“What are you doing!” Cui Feiyan quickly stepped forward, her face frosty as she scolded angrily.
