Cui Feiyan realized what she was doing and only reacted after Huang Xiaolong said that. She quickly let go of his hand and stood aside. That pretty face of hers looked like it might break at any time from her blushing too hard. She was incredibly embarrassed and awkward.

It was not in her intention to wrap her arms around Huang Xiaolong on purpose. It was only because of the dangerous situation that she did it instinctively.

‘I wasn’t doing it to seduce him…’

After Huang Xiaolong killed off the malicious spirit in red, the bedroom felt calmer and more peaceful with the sounds of insects and frogs coming from outside the window, full of life.

“Huh?” The fear of Cui Dong’s face gradually subsided and the dark air that lingered in his yintang also disappeared. His entire person looked radiant. “Lil Master… it feels like… it feels as if my whole body is relaxed… this… feels really good… it feels really really good …”

“That thing… Y-You wiped out the malicious spirit?” Cui Feiyan murmured.

“Yep. That thing’s gone.” Huang Xiaolong said with a grin.

“That’s impossible. Y-You didn’t even use a fuzhuan or taomujian. All you did was spit on it! What did you do, really?” From that moment, Cui Feiyan believed everything that Huang Xiaolong says. Although she was still a little bit frightened, curiosity made her ask Huang Xiaolong more questions. (TN: taomujian is a sword made out of peach wood to ward off evil.)

“Oh. Human saliva and blood, as well as a male child’s urine, have strong Yang qi. Since that malicious spirit in red was low-leveled, even me spitting would kill it.” Huang Xiaolong grinned.

Even so, ordinary people would definitely not be able to do what Huang Xiaolong did.

The Yang qi in the saliva of ordinary people would not be enough to kill off a malicious spirit in red!

“That’s disgusting…” Cui Feiyan frowned in disgust and pointed to the bamboo tube in Huang Xiaolong’s hands. “What’s this thing?”

“This? This is a gadget that I made when I was bored…” Huang Xiaolong handed the bamboo tube to Cui Feiyan happily.

Cui Feiyan took it for a closer look. It seemed that the bamboo tube was made out of green bamboo that was crafted intricately. A fuzhuan was painted on its surface with cinnabar with the fuzhuans in a sort of formation. “What about this?”

“This is called the spirit seal which is used specifically to seal spirits inside.” Huang Xiaolong explained. “I didn’t really destroy the malicious spirit in red just now. Instead, I merely weakened it badly enough to trap it into the spirit seal…”

“Huh?” Cui Feiyan raised her eyebrows and her voice trembled. “Y-You mean you’re… r-rearing spirits?”

“Yep.” Huang Xiaolong smiled casually. “There are probably dozens of malicious spirits sealed in this spirit seal…”

“Eww! That’s freaky! Super-duper freaky!” Cui Feiyan was shocked. She had heard about people raising cats, dogs, rabbits, and even snakes and lizards, but not ghosts!

In her frightened state, Cui Feiyan dropped the bamboo tube from her hands. Huang Xiaolong caught it swiftly with his hand and put it back into his canvas bag. “Don’t be afraid, Feiyan. In fact, these ghosts are still useful. For example, if you gather a certain amount of them, you can use them to refine Faqi, Ghost Puppets, and Soul Summoning Banners… They’re very useful.” (TN: Faqi is a Daoism musical instrument during rituals. Soul Summoning Banners are placed on doors to welcome ghosts during funerals.)

‘Oh my goodness! Is this the Alipay Five Sets of Blessings?’ (TN: Alipay Five Sets of Blessings is an event launched by Alipay before the Lunar New Year which allows users who participate in Alipay activities to collect five sets of blessings to receive a virtual red envelope.)

“Enough…Y-you’re seriously twisted…” Cui Feiyan hid behind Uncle Fu.

Even though she admired Huang Xiaolong a little, she was more fearful and disgusted by him.

“Lil Master, thank you so much for helping me.” Cui Dong thanked him from the bottom of his heart. “It feels like I’ve just recovered from a serious illness… I feel so refreshed and relaxed!”

“To earn money from helping people from disasters.” Huang Xiaolong laughed. “Well then… Uncle Cui. About the… remaining payment. Should we settle it now?”

In fact, Huang Xiaolong felt a little embarrassed asking for it. After all, it was just a weak malicious spirit in red. He settled it with one spit and charged 8000 bucks for it. ‘Am I charging too much?’

“Of course, Lil Master. I, Cui Dong, always repay my debt of gratitude. Accept my considerable appreciation!” Without uttering another word, Cui Dong took out the checkbook he carried with him and wrote a long series of numbers with his gold pen. After that, he handed it to Huang Xiaolong. “Lil Master, this is a cash check.”

When Huang Xiaolong took a look at it and saw a long string of ‘0’s after a ‘1’, he went a little light-headed and could not think straight.

However, Huang Xiaolong did not accept it. “Uncle Cui, you’ve misunderstood me. I just want to get the balance amount. Keep the money. A good man only takes the money he had worked for. That’s my philosophy in life. The balance is only 4000 bucks.”

Huang Xiaolong returned the cash check to Cui Dong.

He was not showing off. Even though he came from the countryside because he wanted more money, he would never take money against his conscience. He believed that he should only take the amount of money for the amount that he had earned. That way, he felt better about it.

“I…” Cui Dong choked on his words. A look of respect rose in his eyes and he quickly withdrew the check. “Lil Master, you’re such an honorable person! I’ve acted too rashly… Uncle Fu, give Lil Master his 4000 bucks immediately.”

‘Seriously? Is this guy pretending or is he really that noble? Cui Feiyan stared at Huang Xiaolong suspiciously.

Uncle Fu took out 40 brand-new grandpa Maos and gave them to Huang Xiaolong. It was only then Huang Xiaolong gladly accepted them. (TN: Mao Zedong is on the 100 yuan bill.)

After carefully counting and confirming the amount, Huang Xiaolong put his cherished and important money in his pocket.

“Since everything is sorted now, it’s time for me to leave. Uncle Cui, if you have any problems in the future, feel free to contact me on WeChat. If you spread the word about me, that would be great.” Huang Xiaolong smiled.

“Wait, Lil Master…” Cui Dong said with a flustered expression. “Look, Lil Master. I was hoping you’ll be able to do something about Feiyan… I will compensate you for it, too. You can rest assured, Lil Master.”

“Oh…” Huang Xiaolong looked at Cui Feiyan. “Feiyan, I’ve told you that you’ve encountered a ghost, too. However, the ghost that has been following you isn’t the malicious spirit in red that we got rid of just now. If you are willing to pay me 10000 bucks, I’ll help get rid of the malicious spirit that is haunting you as well as sort out your irregular menstruation and urinary bifurcation.”

“You…” Cui Feiyan’s was no longer as steady as she was previously.

After seeing a ghost with her own eyes, it had shaken her faith as an atheist and subverted her worldview.

“Feiyan, if I guessed correctly, you haven’t been able to sleep soundly most nights these past few nights, right? And even if you managed to fall asleep, you have nightmares and sometimes feel a heavy weight pressing down on you when you sleep? Perhaps your body feels like it sunk into the bed? Your energy has been low and you’ve lost your appetite…” Huang Xiaolong said solemnly.

Cui Feiyan was shocked. All of what Huang Xiaolong said were true. Even though she did not like Huang Xiaolong, it was terrible to think that she had gotten herself entangled with a malicious spirit! That was why she gritted teeth and was ready to agree.

However, Huang Xiaolong suddenly changed the subject. “Oh yeah! I remember! Feiyan, you promised to apologize to me. So apologize now!”

That was the thing that Cui Feiyan was dreading.

She had always been an arrogant girl. She was the lofty and unparalleled female president. She had never had to bow her head and apologize to anyone.

Although Huang Xiaolong was talented, he indeed had a rustic quality to himself and looked like a hooligan. Naturally, she was not too happy to hear that she had to apologize to him.

Since those words indeed came from her own mouth, it was impossible to go back on her words.

Cui Feiyan was struggling with herself when Cui Dong told her, “My daughter, why are you still stunned? Hurry up and apologize! You were disrespectful to Lil Master just now. Child, you’re too temperamental. People should always learn to be humble. Otherwise, you will be the one suffering from your ego sooner or later.”

“Dad!” Cui Feiyan groaned after grinding her teeth into powder. “Um… I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have… put you down so easily just now… I… I now believe that there are ghosts and demons in this world… Okay, I’ve finished my apology. Are you satisfied?”

After Cui Feiyan finished her sentence, it seemed like it took a lot out of her and her ego felt particularly bruised.

She was as proud as a peacock and having to lower her head to a hillbilly took a lot out of her.

“Sigh… That was too soft, I could barely hear it.” Huang Xiaolong complained but he was a big boy, he was not deliberately trying to make things harder for Cui Feiyan.

Unexpectedly, Cui Dong rolled his eyes and said with a straight face, “Feiyan, you obviously did it so reluctantly! You were obviously in the wrong but you would not admit it! I won’t allow it! Apologize to Lil Master now with more sincerity! It’s not too late yet, so go shopping with Lil Master and get him a valuable gift to make up for your mistake. After you do so, apologize to him again!”

“Huh? Seriously, Dad? I-I have to go shopping with him? And get him a gift?” Cui Feiyan was unhappy. “Dad, this was just a trivial matter. I, uh, have been pretty busy at work recently. So I think I better rush back to the office to make a bidding plan…”

“Leave that to your assistant. You must go whether you like it or not.” Cui Dong’s tone became more and more serious.

Huang Xiaolong was calculating something in his head and suddenly nodded. “How about this? You don’t have to apologize to me anymore if I let you get me the gift. We’ll call it even.”

As soon as Cui Feiyan heard that she did not need to apologize anymore, she agreed immediately. “Deal! I will get you a gift and my conscience will be clear too.”

After she made the deal, Cui Feiyan walked outside. “Let’s go, we have a gift to get you.”

When Cui Dong saw Huang Xiaolong and Cui Feiyan leave the villa, his eyes narrowed and there was a deep expression in his eyes.

“Master, Lil Master is indeed really gifted and has his ways of doing things… But why are you giving Miss such a hard time… I-Isn’t this a little inappropriate?” Uncle Fu frowned.

“Uncle Fu, I’m afraid I have a different verdict on that problem than you.” Cui Dong smiled. “If Feiyan encountered any problem, she’ll need Lil Master to help her. Besides, Lil Master definitely knows more than what we know. Honestly, he gives me an enigmatic feeling…”

As he said that, Cui Dong rubbed his temples and his face looked a little tired. “I’m an old man and I’ll have to rely on Feiyan for support in the future. Even though Feiyan has her abilities, she’s still too sheltered to handle everything. As you know, Coast City is the most wretched hive of scum and villainy. Who knows how many people are targeting our Cui Family’s wealth… I’m afraid that Feiyan will eventually be eaten alive and be left down to her bones… If my daughter can meet a noble person, it will benefit her future greatly…”

After Uncle Fu heard that, his heart trembled!

It was by no means not based on luck that Cui Dong was able to form his business circles in Coast City!

It was because he had a good eye for people, had a good ability in making decisions, as well as his abilities to form out strategies that stood him out!

“Master, I understand.” Uncle Fu was convinced.
