When Huang Xiaolong said this, Cui Feiyan finally realized what she had done and quickly let go, standing aside. Even her delicate face showed embarrassment, distress, and shyness.

She didn’t mean to cling to Huang Xiaolong, but the situation had been so dangerous that she had acted instinctively.

This had nothing to do with being intimate…

After Huang Xiaolong had dealt with the red-dressed vengeful spirit, the room was peaceful. From outside the window, the faint sounds of insects and frogs could be heard, brimming with life.

“Huh?” Fear gradually faded from Cui Dong’s face. The dark aura surrounding his forehead disappeared completely, making him seem radiant and restored. “Master… It feels like… like a weight has been lifted… So comfortable… It’s really comfortable…”

“That person… you… did you kill the evil spirit?” Cui Feiyan murmured.

“Yes, it’s done.” Huang Xiaolong replied, smiling.

“Really? You… you didn’t even use talismans or Peach Wood Sword, just spit?

What on earth is happening?” By now, Cui Feiyan completely believed what Huang Xiaolong had said. Although she was somewhat afraid, curiosity drove her to question him.

“Oh, the saliva, blood of a person, and even child’s urine possess a potent Yang energy. The red-dressed vengeful spirit was lacking in Dao cultivation, so I spat in its face, and it died.” Huang Xiaolong replied, grinning.

That being said, ordinary people could never imitate this trick of Huang Xiaolong’s.

The Yang energy in ordinary people’s saliva was not enough to kill a red-dressed vengeful spirit!

“That’s gross…” Cui Feiyan frowned in disgust, then pointed to the bamboo tube in Huang Xiaolong’s hand. “And what is this?”

“This? It’s just a little something I made when I was bored…” Huang Xiaolong casually handed the bamboo tube to Cui Feiyan.

Upon examining the green bamboo tube, Cui Feiyan noticed it was finely made.

Red cinnabar talisman patterns were drawn on its surface, appearing to form a

Formation. “What is this exactly?”

“This is called a ‘Soul Tube’, designed especially for storing angry spirits.” Huang Xiaolong explained. “I didn’t exactly annihilate the red-dressed vengeful spirit just now. I seriously injured it and kept it in this ‘Soul Tube’…” “What?” Cui Feiyan was trembled. “You… are you raising ghosts?”

“Right.” replied Huang Xiaolong casually. “Several dozen vengeful spirits are already housed in this ‘Soul Tube’…”

“Ah! You’re sick! Totally sick!” Cui Feiyan jumped, she had heard of raising cats, dogs, rabbits, even snakes and lizards, but never ghosts!

As she recoiled in surprise, the bamboo tube slipped from her grasp. Huang Xiaolong swiftly caught it, placed it back into his canvas bag, and reassured her. “Feiyan, don’t be scared. These spirits can be quite useful. For instance, if you collect a certain number, you can use them to make magical implements like puppet ghosts, summoning banners… it’s really interesting.” What the hell! Is this how you collect rewards on Alipay?

“Enough… You… You’re a real freak…” Cui Feiyan hid behind Uncle Fu.

Now she was a bit awestruck by Huang Xiaolong, but more so, she felt afraid and somewhat disgusted.

“Master, I really can’t thank you enough for this.” Cui Dong sincerely thanked him. “I feel like I just recovered from a serious illness… I feel very refreshed, so relieved!”

“I’m just doing my job.” Huang Xiaolong laughed. “So… Uncle Cui, about the…

rest of the payment, should we settle it now?”

Huang Xiaolong was a bit embarrassed; after all, he’d taken care of a rather weak red-dressed vengeful spirit with a simple spit. Charging them 8000 yuan might seem a bit unfair.

“Master, you don’t need to say that. I, Cui Dong, know how to repay a kindness.

I’d definitely want to thank you properly!” Without wasting a heartbeat, Cui Dong took out his chequebook and swiftly wrote a long string of numbers with a golden pen. “Master, here is a cheque.”

When Huang Xiaolong looked at it, he was dazzled by the string of zeroes after the ‘1’ and didn’t know how much it was actually.

However, Huang Xiaolong did not accept it. “Uncle Cui, you’ve misunderstood. I only want the money I am owed. An honorable man respects wealth but takes it only rightly. This is my principle in life. The rest of the payment is 4000 yuan.”

Huang Xiaolong returned the cheque to Cui Dong.

This was not about pretending to be noble. He may be greedy, having come from a rural area, but he would never take money unscrupulously. He believes in getting an amount equivalent to the work he has done: a clear conscience.

“…” Cui Dong was surprised, and a touch of genuine respect shone in his eyes. He quickly took back the cheque. “Master, you really are a noble man! I was being too reckless… Uncle Fu, quickly give the master 4000 yuan.”

‘Could it be? Is this guy faking it or is he genuinely so noble?’ Cui Feiyan looked at Huang Xiaolong, uncertain.

Uncle Fu took out forty fresh 100 RMB notes and handed them to Huang Xiaolong, who happily accepted them.

Only after carefully counting and making sure there were no mistakes did Huang Xiaolong put the money into his pocket with an air of reverence.

“Now that this is settled, I should take my leave. Uncle Cui, don’t hesitate to contact me on WeChat if you encounter any problems. If you could also introduce some business opportunities to me, I’d be truly grateful,” Huang Xiaolong chuckled.

“Don’t rush, Little Master…” Cui Dong said, looking somewhat flustered. “Little Master, about Feiyan…we hope that you can help again…for compensation, rest assured, Little Master.”

“Oh…” Huang Xiaolong glanced at Cui Feiyan, “Feiyan, as I’ve told you, you’ve also been haunted by a ghost, but it’s not the red-clothed ferocious ghost from earlier. If you are willing to pay me 10,000 yuan, I’ll not only help you deal with this ferocious ghost but also cure your irregular menstruation and split urinary stream.”

“You…” Cui Feiyan didn’t seem as resolute as before.

Having witnessed a ghost herself, the scepticism of this self-proclaimed atheist had been shaken, turning her world upside down.

“Feiyan, if I guess correctly, you’ve recently had sleepless nights, half asleep and half awake, having nightmares constantly, feeling crushed when sleeping, sinking continuously, feeling drained, and losing your appetite… “Huang Xiaolong stated seriously.

Cui Feiyan was shocked at heart, every word that Huang Xiaolong said was precise. Although she didn’t have a good impression of him, the thought of a ferocious ghost haunting her frightened her out of her wits. So, she bit her lip and decided to agree to his request.

However, Huang Xiaolong added, “Oh right! I remembered! Feiyan, you promised to apologize to me. Apologize now!”

In fact, that was exactly what Cui Feiyan feared Huang Xiaolong would bring up.

She was naturally a high-minded and arrogant girl, a stunningly beautiful female president who seldom lowered her head to anyone in humility.

Even though Huang Xiaolong had some abilities, he seemed a bit rustic and brash, almost like a small gangster. To apologize to him was not exactly pleasing to her.

But, going back on the things she had publicly promised seemed equally improper.

While Cui Feiyan was struggling with this predicament, Cui Dong urged her. “My girl, why are you hesitating? Quickly apologize! Admittedly you were disrespectful to Little Master. You are too stubborn. Remember, it’s crucial to learn how to bow your head, or else, you will suffer sooner or later.”

“Dad!” Grinding her teeth, Cui Feiyan stammered, “Well…l’m sorry, I shouldn’t have summarily dismissed you earlier…l..l now believe that there are ghosts and spirits in this world…There, I’ve apologized, are you satisfied now?”

After saying this, Cui Feiyan seemed to have exerted a great effort, and was feeling very wronged.

She was a proud swan who had now stooped to apologize to a rustic country boy.

“Alas…You’re so quiet, who can hear you?” Huang Xiaolong was a little noisy, but he didn’t give her a hard time, as he was after all a gentleman.

Unexpectedly, Cui Dong, turning his eyes, rebuked sternly, “Feiyan, you are still so reluctant! Clearly you were at fault, but you refuse to admit it! No! You have to apologize sincerely to the Little Master! Here’s an idea, it’s not too late now, why don’t you accompany Little Master to stroll in the street, buy him a valuable gift as an apology, and then apologize again!”

“Ah? Dad, Are you serious? Do I also… have to accompany him shopping? And buy him a gift?” Cui Feiyan was discontented. “Dad, aren’t you making a mountain out of molehill? You know, actually I have been quite busy recently. I have a tendering project plan to finish when I get back to the company… ‘

“You can delegate that to your assistant. Whether you want to go or not, you must go today!” Cui Dong’s tone got intenser.

Huang Xiaolong thought about it for a moment, then nodded. “How about this, why don’t you give me a gift, and then I won’t ask you to apologize anymore. We’ll call it even.”

Upon hearing that there was no need to apologize further, Cui Feiyan agreed instantly, “Alright! I’ll give you a gift, this way my conscience is clear.”

Having said that, Cui Feiyan swayed her waist and headed outside. “Let’s go, I’ll take you to choose a gift.”

Watching Huang Xiaolong and Cui Feiyan leave the villa, Cui Dong’s eyes narrowed slightly, in his eyes a meaningful expression shone out.

“Master, this Little Master indeed has extraordinary talent and abilities… However, making such demands on Miss… I’m afraid this is somewhat inappropriate,” Uncle Fu frowned.

“Uncle Fu, my perspective on things is different from yours,” Cui Dong laughed. “The troubles faced by Feiyan can only be resolved by the Little Master. And besides, I feel like this Little Master has more tricks up his sleeve than we think, he gives me an unfathomable feeling…”

As he said this, Cui Dong rubbed his temples, looking a little tired, “I’m getting old, and everything in this house will have to rely on Feiyan in the future. Despite her being somewhat capable, she is a fragile girl, after all. Binhai is a place filled with fierce competition, and who knows how many people are eyeing the fat pie of our Cui Family… I’m afraid that Feiyan will finally be swallowed up without leaving even a bone… If this girl can meet a benefactor, it will greatly benefit her future…”

Upon hearing this, Uncle Fu felt a chill in his heart!

Cui Dong’s ability to build such a business empire in the commercial world of Binhai was certainly not all down to luck!

His discerning eye, decisiveness, and strategic foresight were far beyond ordinary people!

“Master, I understand,” said Uncle Fu, completely convinced.
