Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Although Huang Xiaolong had already seriously cautioned that there might be scary things appearing, the people in the private room were all ruled by their curiosity and strained their eyes to stare at the hunchbacked Boss Xu.

After all, they were all people used to significant events, having been through thick and thin, so what was there to be scared of?

However, when the ghostly old woman on Boss Xu’s back revealed her ghastly form, everyone in the private room was scared out of their wits…

She was clad in tattered white clothes, but her face and skin were even paler than her clothes. Her naked skin was littered with patches of corpse spots, and her silvery hair flowed down to her waist…

As she emerged, the temperature in the private room drastically dropped, and arctic winds that felt like they were from Siberia began to whirl around, causing everyone to shiver uncontrollably.

“Ah!!! A ghost! It’s a ghost!”

“It scared me to death!”

“Quick…quick call the police! Call the police!”

“Old Hong, call….call security…hurry and call security…” “Oh my god, I can’t believe it, Boss Xu…he…he’s carrying…carrying a ghost…”

“Are there really ghosts in this world? So…so it’s true…”

A chorus of frightened screams echoed in the room.

Ghosts, for ordinary people, were even rarer than pandas. These business elites from Binhai were seeing a ghost for the first time in their lives, and they were naturally so scared that they couldn’t even find the strength to flee from the room.

At this moment, whether you were a destitute pauper or a wealthy tycoon, you were both ruled by the same innate fear.

Su Xiaoman was so scared she jumped up, tightly clutching Huang Xiaolong around his waist from behind, her hot body pressed entirely against Huang Xiaolong’s back.

“Everyone, don’t panic; there’s nothing to be afraid of. This old woman is not a malicious ghost; she won’t harm anyone,” Huang Xiaolong yelled with a chuckle.

With Huang Xiaolong there, the panicked crowd felt as if they’d found their backbone, and they gradually managed to calm down.

At this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed… “Eh? It’s…it’s…it’s Boss Xu’s mother! This ghost… it’s Boss Xu’s mother!”

“Right! Yes! It’s the old lady!”

When Boss Xu turned around, and his eyes met those of his mother on his back, he immediately broke down in tears, his body shaking with emotion. “Mom! You! You…l see you again! I…l’m not dreaming, am I?”

There was no trace of fear on Boss Xu’s face; instead, his face was suffused with genuine joy and longing.

It was evident that Boss Xu was a dutiful son.

“My dear boy–you have become so thin…” The old woman said in a tear-choked voice, reaching out to stroke Boss Xu’s haggard and emaciated face.

Seeing this, nobody in the room shouted or made a fuss anymore. Instead, they were moved by the heartfelt affection between Boss Xu and his mother and fell silent.

Huang Xiaolong said with a smile, “You all see now, right? The reason for Boss Xu’s hunchback is not because he was ill; he wasn’t ill at all. He was carrying his deceased mother on his back all the time… this is called ‘carrying a ghost.’ If you encounter this in the future, remember to use fresh blood to seal your forehead; this can prevent possession by the ghost. Then, scrape the ghost’s throat with your hand, and it will fall off your back.”

Everyone took Huang Xiaolong’s words to heart like golden rules.

Then, Huang Xiaolong turned to the old woman on Boss Xu’s back and smiled, “Old lady, you are already a ghost. Why don’t you report to the underworld?

Staying in the world of the living with your son as your refuge is not lawful.”

“My son treats me so well; he’s such a dutiful son. I can’t bear to leave him,” The old woman lovingly gazed at Boss Xu.

“Hmm, old lady, I understand. However, what you are doing will kill your son, do you know that? All these years, you not only made his back hunch, but you are also incessantly consuming his yang energy. Look at how skinny he is, like a beanpole. If you don’t leave him, he won’t live much longer either,” Huang Xiaolong began to give earnest advice. “Old lady, you love your son so much, can you bear to kill him yourself? If your son dies because of you resulting in a shortened lifespan, he will turn into a vengeful ghost. On earth, he will be unrecognizable and will cause harm. After he enters the underworld, he will be sent straight into hell, forever in torment.”

At these words, the old woman quickly shook her head, “No! I can’t kill my son! He’s such a dutiful son! I can’t kill him!”

“Well, that’s more like it,” Huang Xiaolong chuckled wryly, pulling out a piece of willow wood from his bag. “Come, old lady. I’ll seal you into this piece of willow wood and find a time later to take you to the underworld.”

“Thank you, young man,” the old woman, grateful, glanced at Huang Xiaolong, then bent down to cradle Boss Xu’s face, “My boy, your mother is leaving… Your mother can’t harm you anymore. I’ve caused you so much suffering over these years, but don’t hold a grudge against your mother…”

“Mother! You…you…if you don’t want to go, then don’t go! Your son won’t hold a grudge against you!” Boss Xu was crying his heart out.

“Boss Xu, the paths of the living and the dead do not intersect. This is a universal law of nature. So you have to let go. Once I send your mother into the underworld, you can burn Joss Paper for her every day. That way, she will be very happy over there and will always bless you,” Huang Xiaolong laughed.

Having said that, Huang Xiaolong didn’t hesitate, lifting up the piece of willow wood. “Come in, old lady.”

The old woman gave Boss Xu a deep final look. Her body turned into an ethereal, greenish smoke and drifted towards the willow wood like the wind.

Willow wood has the ability to absorb spirits, and the piece Huang Xiaolong held was no ordinary one. Derived from a willow tree by the Bridge of Helplessness and soaked in the water of the Yellow Springs, it was an incredibly powerful spirit-absorbing charm.

In an instant, the old woman was sealed into the willow wood.

Simultaneously, Boss Xu straightened his back!

His chronic hunchback problem of many years had miraculously healed!

Boss Xu subconsciously stretched his muscles. He felt a wave of relaxation and comfort across his entire body, rejuvenated as if having drunk the Jadescent Nectar, just like a snake shedding its skin, as though he had been reborn! He suddenly brimmed with vigor and vitality!

“Great! Old Xu, your hunchback is healed!” The people who were close to Boss Xu were all genuinely happy for him.

“Mom! Rest assured, your son will burn incense in the morning and evening and worship you well!” Boss Xu knelt on both knees and gave three resounding kowtows towards the willow wood Huang Xiaolong was holding.

“Boss Xu, don’t worry, I’ll take good care of your mother. You shouldn’t yearn for her too much. Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the natural laws of living beings. It’s most important for the living to stay well,” Huang Xiaolong smiled and put the willow wood back into his bag.

“Dr. Xiaolong, 1…1 really can’t thank you enough this time!” Boss Xu stood upright and took a few strides towards Huang Xiaolong, “Dr. Xiaolong, I am in awe of your skills! In the future, if you ever need anything in Binhai, just give me a shout. As long as it’s within my capability, I won’t refuse!”

“Thank you…well, please pay me 5,000 yuan first.” Huang Xiaolong said, his eyes lit up.

Without even realizing it, he’d just made a successful business transaction. The key thing was that the 5,000 yuan was too easy to earn.

Boss Xu insisted on giving Huang Xiaolong more compensation, but Huang

Xiaolong didn’t violate his principle of dealing with people. He only accepted 5,000 yuan. Boss Xu didn’t have cash on him, so he added Huang Xiaolong on WeChat and transferred 5,000 yuan to Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong chuckled contentedly. “Boss Xu, remember to eat more nutritious foods that can replenish your energy and blood, such as ginseng, King Solomon’s-seal and so forth. After some time of recuperation, you will return to your former health. Also…if ever you need more in the future, please support my business.”

“Divine Doctor! Let me add you on WeChat!” “Divine Doctor, please, add me on WeChat!” “Divine Doctor, give me your WeChat!”

At that moment, the wealthy businessmen in the private room flocked around him, their faces flushed with excitement as they pleaded to connect with Huang Xiaolong on WeChat.

It could be said that Huang Xiaolong’s endless, profound techniques had completely won over these individuals! From this point on, the social circle of Binhai would circulate the title “Master Huang”!

Huang Xiaolong gladly accepted all WeChat requests, thinking to himself that by adding these wealthy individuals, he could use their connections to expand his business. In the future, he would naturally earn more money, just like the saying goes – counting money until his hands cramp!

Hong Quantao and Zou Shi watched on the side, their tongues clucking in private admiration and immense relief.

They knew they had made the right move by attaching themselves to Huang Xiaolong!

“Who would have thought the Divine Doctor really had such mystical tricks…Amazing, truly amazing.” Hong Quantao couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.

“The more time I spend with the Divine Doctor, the less I understand him…Oh, we definitely need to take good care of him in the future… To be able to build such a relationship, it’s our good fortune.” Zou Shi’s expression was full of sincerity.

After adding everyone on WeChat, Huang Xiaolong turned to Su Xiaoman and said, “Sister Xiaoman, let’s go home.”

“Mm.” Su Xiaoman obediently replied with a charming smile.

At this point, Chairman Qiu walked up with an expectant look on his face, and says hesitantly, “Dr. Xiaolong, could I please steal a moment of your time?”

“Hmm?” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes flickered. “Old man Qiu, do you want me to cure you and restore your ability to produce offspring?”

Chairman Qiu’s face turned red. He was in his fifties, and even bedroom matters were starting to become challenging. He could do it only a few times a month, and that too relying on medication.

He had initially given up on this particular desire, but after Qiu Xuan’s betrayal, he wanted his own genuine offspring – more so than ever.

With Huang Xiaolong’s evident skills, Chairman Qiu bit the bullet and came over to ask for help.

“Dr. Xiaolong, this particular issue…could you think of a way to help me… Rest assured, regardless of the outcome, I won’t disappoint you compensation-wise.” Chairman Qiu looked somewhat nervous, and he used a more respectful tone towards Huang Xiaolong.

“Hehe…Old man Qiu, this is actually very simple. Not only can I restore your ability to have children, I can also ensure your virility… Even if you want twins, I could make it happen…” Huang Xiaolong stated cheerfully, quickly doing the math in his head. “However… the price will be a bit higher…”

Restore fertility?

Revive virility?

What!? He can help me have twins?

Chairman Qiu seemed to be on the brink of madness!

“Dr. Xiaolong! You…are you kidding with me?” Chairman Qiu grabbed Huang Xiaolong desperately by the shoulders, swaying from side to side. “Dr. Xiaolong, if you can make this happen, you’ll be my savior! Money, any amount is no problem!”

Huang Xiaolong was a little nervous as well.

He knew Chairman Qiu was wealthy, incredibly wealthy. This deal could possibly be the largest he’d made since coming to Binhai. As a youngster from a rural village with hopes to revive his hometown, he was naturally excited.

“Well, the cost…” Huang Xiaolong raised both of his hands, extending all ten fingers.

Chairman Qiu thought Huang Xiaolong was asking for 1 billion. To him, although 1 billion was quite a large sum, when compared with fertility, money is indeed a trivial matter!

Just as he was about to agree, Huang Xiaolong said shakily, “Old man Qiu, if you’re willing to give 100K, I’ll take the job!”

“Uh… 100K…” Chairman Qiu was stunned.

“Chairman Qiu, do you think 100K is too much?” Huang Xiaolong began to feel a bit awkward.

“No, no, agreed! 100K! Dr. Xiaolong, I’ll pay! Then… could I request you to accompany me home now to treat this ailment…” Chairman Qiu couldn’t wait even for another minute.

Just as Huang Xiaolong was about to agree, his phone rang. He took out his phone and saw that it was Cui Dong calling.

He answered the call.

“Little Master, where are you right now? Are you free?” Cui Dong’s voice sounded extremely anxious.

“Ah, Old Cui, I’m at the Emperor’s Grand Hotel, I’m free right now, what’s up? Huang Xiaolong responded.

“Little Master, this time, you have to help Feiyan… Last night, Feiyan had a nightmare again! And this time, not only did she have a nightmare, but she also sleepwalked! Her condition… it’s not just that she hasn’t recovered, it’s…

it’s gotten worse…Little Master, you have to save Feiyan!” Cui Dong’s voice choked.

Cui Feiyan was also one of the people Huang Xiaolong had mentally marked to be one of his wives. Hearing about her condition, he naturally felt concerned. “Old Cui, Feiyan isn’t sick, she’s been possessed by a vicious spirit. Alright, I understand, I’ll come over right now.”

“Yes, yes, Little Master, then I’ll immediately come to pick you up.” Cui Dong immediately felt relieved as soon as Huang Xiaolong agreed to help.

“It’s unnecessary, just send your address to my WeChat, I’ll drive over myself. I have to hang up now.” After ending the call, Huang Xiaolong turned to Chairman Qiu and said, “Old man Qiu, I have a very important matter to deal with right now. Your ailment, we’ll attend to it and find a cure another day.”

Chairman Qiu, who had been standing beside Huang Xiaolong, obviously heard Huang Xiaolong’s entire conversation. His face showed a touch of peculiarity as he asked softly, “Dr. Xiaolong, was that… was that Brother Cui Dong who called? About Feiyan’s problem?”

“Mm, old man Qiu, do you know Brother Cui and Feiyan as well?” Huang Xiaolong nodded.

“Who in Binhai’s business circle doesn’t know Brother Cui Dong? Feiyan is also known as a gifted girl in Binhai…Alright, Dr. Xiaolong, I won’t bother you now. You go ahead and handle this matter.” Chairman Qiu kindly said.

“Alright.” Huang Xiaolong turned back towards Su Xiaoman and said, “Sister Xiaoman, you go ahead home, I have got a matter to address.”

“Hmm, Long, be careful.” Su Xiaoman, being quite understanding, didn’t intrude in crucial times, and let Huang Xiaolong be.

Huang Xiaolong hurriedly left the private room.

“Who would have thought, Brother Cui Dong would also need Dr. Xiaolong’s help.” Chairman Qiu watched Huang Xiaolong’s retreating figure, his eyes reflecting a hint of revelation. “Dr. Xiaolong is making a name for himself in Binhai! This…this is like an ambitious man crossing the river!”
