Although Huang Xiaolong had given everyone a grim warning that something scary would appear, curiosity still got the better of everyone in the private room. Their protuberant eyes stared at the hunchbacked Boss Xu.

After all, they were all people who were used to big scenes. They were ready to brave storms and were not afraid of anything.

However, when the old lady spirit on Boss Xu’s back became visible in its spiritual form, the people in the private room still freaked out and wet their pants…

The spirit was dressed in bits and pieces of white clothing, but her face and complexion were whiter than her clothes. Her exposed skin was covered with patches of corpse spots, and her grey hair was waist-length…

With its appearance, the temperature in the private room dropped abruptly, and wisps of cold air that seemed to come from Siberia raged, making the people present shiver.

“Ah!!! A Spirit! It’s a spirit!”

“It’s freaking me out!”

“Hurry… Call the police! Call the police!”

“Old Hong, call…call for the security guard…Hurry up and ask for the security guard…”

“Oh my god, I didn’t expect that boss Xu…he…he is carrying…a spirit…”

“There are spirits in this world? It turns out… it turns out to be real…”

…

One after another, the people present let out screams of horror.

To an ordinary person, spirits were harder to come by than giant pandas. This was the first time in these coastal business-elites’ lives that they had seen a spirit. Naturally, they were so scared that they did not even have the strength to leave the private room.

At that moment, everyone—regardless of poor or wealthy—was dominated by instinctive fear.

Su Xiaoman was so frightened that she jumped up and grabbed onto Huang Xiaolong from behind. Her fiery figure was fully pressed against Huang Xiaolong’s back.

“Don’t panic, everyone, there is nothing to be afraid of. This old lady is not a bitter spirit (TN: spirits that died under unjust/wrongful circumstances), and it will not harm people.” Huang Xiaolong let out a roaring laugh.

With Huang Xiaolong there, the panicked crowd recovered some of their courage and finally calmed down.

At that time, someone suddenly shouted, “Huh? It’s…It’s…It’s Boss Xu’s mother! This spirit…is Boss Xu’s mother!”

“Yes! You’re right! It’s the old lady!”

As soon as Boss Xu turned his head, he had a face-to-face meeting with his old mother who he had been carrying on his back. In an instant, his face burst into tears and his whole body shuddered with excitement. “Mother! You! You…I’m seeing you again! I…I’m not dreaming, am I?”

Boss Xu did not show the slightest hint of fear, but his face was filled with shock and emotion from the heart.

Anyone could tell that Boss Xu was a filial son.

“Son, you lost weight…” The old lady was teary-eyed, and she stretched out her hand to stroke Boss Xu’s haggard and thin face.

Seeing this scene, the people in the private room stopped screaming. Instead, they were touched by the tenderness between Boss Xu and the old lady. They all kept respectfully silent.

Huang Xiaolong smiled. “You see? Actually, the reason Boss Xu is hunched is not that he is sick, he is not sick at all, in fact. It’s because he has been carrying his deceased mother on his back…this is called a ‘back hanging spirit’. If you encounter this in the future, remember to seal your yintang with blood to prevent the spirit from possessing you. Then, scrape the spirit’s throat with your backhand and it will fall off your back.”

Everyone accepted Huang Xiaolong’s words as golden rules and kept them in mind.

At that time, Huang Xiaolong smiled at the old lady on the back of Boss Xu. “Old lady, you are already a Yin person, why don’t you report yourself to the underworld? It is illegal for you to stay in this world using your son as protection like this.”

“My son is so kind to me, he is a great and filial son, I can’t let go of him…” The old lady looked at Boss Xu with a doting look.

“Well, old lady, I understand. But, if you do this, you will kill your son, did you know that? In the past few years, not only have you hunched his back, but you have also continuously sucked his Yang qi. As you can see, he is as thin as a stick. If you don’t leave him, he won’t live long.”

Huang Xiaolong began to persuade her with all his heart. “Old lady, if you love your son so much, can you bear to kill him with your own hands? If your son suffers a loss of Yang Shou (TN: lifespan) because of you and dies, he will turn into a bitter spirit. He would not be able to recognize any of his family members and would cause chaos in the world. Even if he goes into the Yin zone (TN: another word of the underworld), he would be sent to Avīci (TN: lowest level of the Naraka or “hell” realm, with the most suffering), suffering forever.”

After she heard that, the old lady shook her head hurriedly. “No! I can’t kill my son! He is a loyal son! I can’t kill him!”

“Ah, that’s right.” Huang Xiaolong smiled and took out a piece of willow from his canvas bag. “Let’s go, old lady, I will seal you in this piece of willow, and I will send you to the underworld in due time.”

“Thank you, young man…” The old lady gave Huang Xiaolong a grateful look, and then she held Boss Xu’s face in her hands. “My son, I am leaving… I can’t hurt you anymore. I have caused you to suffer for the past few years. Please don’t hate me…”

“Mother! You…you…If you don’t want to leave, don’t leave! I don’t hate you!” By now, Boss Xu was dissolved in a puddle of tears.

“Boss Xu, humans and spirits have different paths. This is the natural law of heaven and earth. Don’t be obsessed. When I help you send your mother to the underworld, you can burn paper money for her every day, so that she will enjoy a good time down below. She will also always be blessing you,” Huang Xiaolong explained with a kind smile.

After he spoke, Huang Xiaolong did not hesitate and lifted the willow in his hand. “Old lady, come in.”

The old lady took a final look at Boss Xu, then her spirit body turned into wisps of faint green smoke and drifted toward the willow like the wind.

The piece of willow in Huang Xiaolong’s hand was even more extraordinary than normal. It was taken from the willow tree beside the Narakade (TN: The entrance of the underworld, the first level leading to hell) and soaked in Yomi Water. It was a powerful spirit-sucking pendant.

In an instant, the old lady was sealed firmly in the willow.

At the same time, Boss Xu stood upright and his back was perfectly straight!

A back stubbornly hunched for years was healed without the need for medicine!

Boss Xu subconsciously stretched his muscles and bones and felt that his whole body was relaxed and refreshed. He felt like he was drinking fine wine, like a dragon or snake shedding its skin, like he was being reborn! His energy came up all at once!

“Okay! Old Xu, your hunchback is gone!” The people who were friends with Boss Xu were happy for him.

“Mother! Don’t worry, I will surely burn a stick of incense for you every day and night, and I will consecrate you!” Boss Xu knelt on his knees and bowed deeply three times toward the willow in Huang Xiaolong’s hand.

“Boss Xu, don’t worry, I will take care of your mother. Don’t miss her too much. Life and death are part of human nature. The most important thing is that people who are alive should live their lives well.” Huang Xiaolong smiled and put the willow back in his canvas bag.

“Miracle Doctor, this… thank you so much for this!” Boss Xu stood up straight and strode toward Huang Xiaolong. “Miracle Doctor, I’m amazed by your methods! Next time if you need a hand in Coast City, drop me a call. As long as it is within my power, I will definitely not refuse!”

“That’s great…well, pay me 5000 yuan first.” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes were fiery.

Just like that, he closed another deal.

The key was that this 5,000 yuan was so easy to make.

Boss Xu insisted on giving Huang Xiaolong more money, but Huang Xiaolong did not disregard his philosophy as a human being. He only charged 5,000 yuan. Boss Xu had no cash. He added Huang Xiaolong’s WeChat account and sent a 5,000 yuan red envelope to Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong smiled contentedly. “Boss Xu, remember to eat more food that nourishes essence and blood, as well as ginseng, Solomon’s seal, etc. After a period of recuperation, you should be as healthy as before. Also… if you need services of this kind in the future, please consider me.”

“Miracle Doctor! Let me add your WeChat!”

“Miracle Doctor, please add WeChat!”

“Miracle Doctor, tell me your WeChat!”

…

At that moment, the bosses and wealthy businessmen in the private room rushed forward, their faces flushed with excitement, and asked for Huang Xiaolong’s WeChat.

Huang Xiaolong’s endlessly unpredictable methods had impressed this group of people! From then on, within the upper-class social circles of Coast City, the name of “Master Huang” would be well-known!

Huang Xiaolong naturally did not refuse anyone who came. He happily added all these people to his WeChat. He knew in his heart that by adding these wealthy people’s WeChat, they could use their connections to expand his business. Naturally, he would be making more and more money in the future. Just like the people in the city said, it was time to start counting money until your hand cramped up!

Hong Quantao and Zou Shi watched from the sidelines, and they both secretly put out their tongues and were also grateful.

They knew that they had made the right move in fawning over Huang Xiaolong!

“Unexpectedly, Miracle Doctor really has this kind of means to drive away spirits…powerful, truly powerful,” Hong Quantao said emotionally.

“The more you get along with the Miracle Doctor, the less you can see through him… Master, he is a master. Old Hong, in the future, we will have to take care of the Miracle Doctor…it is our blessing to be his acquaintance and friend.” Zou Shi’s face was full of piety.

After adding their WeChats, Huang Xiaolong turned and said to Su Xiaoman, “Sis Xiaoman, let’s go home.”

“Okay,” Su Xiaoman replied obediently with a smile.

At that time, Director Qiu walked over with a look of expectation, and said in a trembling voice, “Miracle Doctor Xiaolong, can we step aside to have a talk?”

“Oh?” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes shifted. “Uncle Qiu, do you want me to help treat your illness so that you can be fertile?”

Director Qiu’s face blushed. He was in his 50s. Forget about fertility, even sleeping with his wife was a little overwhelming. He could survive a few times a month, but even then he had to take medicine.

Originally, he had given up all hope, but Qiu Xuan’s betrayal made him want flesh and blood of his own more than ever.

Huang Xiaolong was such a godly figure, so Director Qiu cheekily came over and pleaded.

“Miracle Doctor Xiaolong, in regard to this matter…can you think of something for this old man…Don’t worry, regardless if it works or not, I will make sure you are well-paid for it.” Director Qiu looked rather anxious and used honorifics while talking to Huang Xiaolong.

“Hey…Uncle Qiu, it is actually very simple. Not only can I make you fertile, but I can also make you a beast in bed…You can even have twins if you want…” Huang Xiaolong said with a grin and quickly made some mental calculations. “But…in terms of price, it will be more expensive…”

Have fertility?

A beast in bed?

Have twins?

Director Qiu could not believe his ears!

“Miracle Doctor Xiaolong! You…you are not lying to me?” Director Qiu gasped, grabbing Huang Xiaolong’s shoulders and shaking his whole body. “Miracle Doctor Xiaolong, if you do this for me, you are my parent who rebirths me! Money—money is not a problem!”

Huang Xiaolong was also a little nervous.

He knew that Director Qiu was rich, immensely so. This deal was probably his biggest earning since he came to Coast City. As a child from the rural country, he was also excited about the hope of revitalizing the whole village.

“This much…” Huang Xiaolong stretched out his hands and raised all ten fingers.

Director Qiu interpreted it as Huang Xiaolong asking for 1 billion. For him, 1 billion was a hefty amount, but compared to regaining fertility, money was as common as clouds in the sky!

He was about to agree, but to his surprise, Huang Xiaolong mumbled nervously, “Uncle Qiu, if you are willing to pay 100,000 yuan, I will take the job!”

“Um…100,000 yuan…” Director Qiu was momentarily confused.

“Uncle Qiu, do you think 100,000 yuan is too much?” Huang Xiaolong was a little embarrassed.

“No, no, okay! 100,000 yuan! Miracle Doctor Xiaolong, I’ll give it! Then…Can I trouble you to come to my house and treat my condition…” Director Qiu did not want to wait even a minute.

Huang Xiaolong was about to nod in agreement when the phone rang suddenly.

He picked up the phone and looked at it. Cui Dong was calling.

He answered the call.

“Lil Master, where are you now? Are you free?” Cui Dong’s voice seemed extremely anxious.

“Ah…Uncle Cui, I’m at the Emperor Hotel. I’m free now, is everything okay with you?” Huang Xiaolong replied.

“Lil Master, this time, you need to help Feiyan…Last night, Feiyan had a nightmare again! This time, not only did she have a nightmare, but she also sleepwalked! Her illness…it didn’t improve but… it worsened. Lil Master, you must save Feiyan!” Cui Dong’s voice was choked.

Cui Feiyan had been identified by Huang Xiaolong as a potential wife. After he had heard about the situation, he was naturally a little concerned. “Uncle Cui, Feiyan is not sick, she is haunted by malicious spirits. Okay, I understand, I will come over now.”

“Yes, yes, yes, Lil Master, then I’ll come to pick you up right away.” Cui Dong felt relieved when he heard that Huang Xiaolong agreed to take action immediately.

“No need, send the address to my WeChat and I will drive there myself. I will hang up now.” Huang Xiaolong addressed Director Qiu after hanging up the phone, “Uncle Qiu, I have a very important matter to deal with right now. I will treat you another day for your illness.”

Director Qiu had been standing next to Huang Xiaolong. He clearly heard Huang Xiaolong’s entire conversation with Cui Dong. His expression was a little odd and he asked in a low voice, “Miracle Doctor Xiaolong, is that…is that Brother Cui Dong who called? About niece Feiyan?”

“Yes, Uncle Qiu, do you also know Uncle Cui and Feiyan?” Huang Xiaolong nodded.

“Who doesn’t know about Brother Cui Dong in Coast City Mall? My niece, Feiyan is also the goddess of Coast City… Okay, Miracle Doctor Xiaolong, I won’t delay you any further, you should handle this first.” Director Qiu was a reasonable man.

“Okay.” Huang Xiaolong turned his head and said to Su Xiaoman. “Sis Xiaoman, you can go home first, I have something to take care of.”

“Yeah, Xiaolong, be careful.” Su Xiaoman was especially sensible and would not bother Huang Xiaolong when it was critical.

Huang Xiaolong hurriedly left the private room.

“Unexpectedly, Brother Cui Dong also has something to ask from Miracle Doctor Xiaolong.” Director Qiu looked on as Huang Xiaolong left, and a strange light flashed in his eyes. “Miracle Doctor Xiaolong has become famous in Coast City! This…only a stalwart dragon is capable to cross the river!”
