Chapter 603: Chapter 603: Half of the Family Assets
The Necro-Malady Talisman on cousin Shui Yu’s forehead suddenly caught fire, converted into a streak of gold light, and seeped into his body.
So sudden!
Hiss hiss hiss~hiss hiss hiss~!!!!!!
Green smoke emerged from all over his body, his whole body continuously trembling as if having seizures, his facial features distorted ferociously, eyes almost bursting out as if they would fly out and hit somebody.
“Little Long~~” Shui Yu nervously said.
The next second——
“Ahhh~!!!!!!”
Cousin Shui Yu opened his mouth wide as if it could fit an entire fist, and let out a high-decibel scream.
Several women in the room were frightened and retreated immediately.
Pucchhh~~~~
A wriggling maggot crawled out of cousin Shui Yu’s mouth, about half a meter long, chubby, entirely white, but with a grisly human face on its head!
The face was about the size of a human fist, the hair wild, the eyes shot out dark blood, the mouth full of sharp teeth with pieces of flesh lodged in the gaps, blood-stained.
The face had an extremely ghastly and brutal expression, more terrifying than any alien creature from movies, making a sharp grating sound, and on close inspection, it even had a pair of nearly transparent wings!
Insanity!
Everybody in the room, except for Huang Xiaolong and Grandmaster Xia Ying, were scared stiff. They were literally scared numb, and sat paralyzed on the ground, their bodies trembling like sieves and too frightened to make a sound.
Up next——
Pucchh~ Pucchh~ Pucchh~
One after another, spectral insects crawled out of cousin Shui Yu’s mouth. After spitting out a dozen or so, he finally stopped.
The room was filled with spectral insects, hovering in the air and flapping their wings. It was a horrifying sight.
“Tsk tsk, a fully matured ghost worm, it’s actually this big…” Huang Xiaolong chuckled.
The next second!
Whiz~~ Whiz~~ Whiz~~~
About a dozen large spectral insects, launched towards Huang Xiaolong, opening their mouths wide for a bite.
This scene was more terrifying than any horror film.
“Little Long, watch out!” With a quick reflex, Xia Ying raised her palm, delivering a blow of True Qi from a distance, crashing it into the body of a spectral insect in mid-air.
With a ‘pop,’ it exploded, splattering Xia Ying with a large amount of sticky, disgustingly pale-green liquid.
Huang Xiaolong grinned, pulling Xia Ying into his embrace and stepping back to dodge.
The sticky liquid that burst out of the spectral insect’s body, splattered on the floor, hissing as smoke billowed, and a large part of the floor was corroded.
Seeing this, Xia Ying was shocked. If it weren’t for Huang Xiaolong pulling her away just now, she might have ended up with a large chunk of her flesh corroded; it was a horrifying thought.
As quickly as it had started, Huang Xiaolong let out a thunderous blow from his palm. Shining like a spider web, lightening spread out in the mid-air, enveloping the dozens of incoming spectral insects. With a series of crackling explosions, streaks of golden light moved like a dragon and a snake. In no time, the spectral insects were reduced to ashes.
“There, done.” Huang Xiaolong grinned at the people in the room who were scared stiff, then walked over to cousin Shui Yu’s bed.
With a mixture of embarrassment and joy, Xia Ying gently wriggled free from Huang Xiaolong’s embrace.
On the bed, the resentment wrapped around Shui Yu was completely eradicated. His skin stopped rotting, and the painful grimace on his face gradually eased.
However, his body was still full of scars and quite a few gashing wounds.
Huang Xiaolong pulled out a “Blood-Stop Talisman”, a “Pain-Stop Talisman”, and a “Water-Purifying Talisman” from his canvas bag. He burned all of them, and golden light enveloped Shui Yu’s body.
The golden light was nourishing his injured body from the inside out.
All of his wounds began to heal at a visible speed, scars formed, and the repulsive pus was cleaned away, rendering him devoid of any pain sensation.
At this moment, inside the villa, the clock struck midnight, and not only did Shui Yu survive, but he even squinted his eyes, weakly saying, “So comfortable… Really so comfortable…”
“Brother… Brother didn’t die! Brother survived his 35th birthday! The curse… The curse… The curse has been lifted!” Shui Yu exclaimed with joy.
Everyone in the room felt a sense of relief as if they had escaped a great disaster.
“Thank you! Little Master! Thank you!” A group of women fell to their knees in front of Huang Xiaolong, tears streaming down their faces.
They not only felt grateful but were also astounded.
The curse that had haunted the Shui Family for 200 years, which was left unsolved and destined every family member to die miserably on their 35th birthday, was broken today!
The Shui Family had defeated destiny!
“Now you can send him to the hospital for treatment. I mentioned before, he can live at least for another 5 years. If treated adequately, perhaps he might live one or two more years. Maybe he will even be able to walk with a cane.” Huang Xiaolong smiled. “I will give you a bank account. Quickly arrange for the transfer, 1 billion, not a cent less.”
“Yes, yes, Little Master, we’ll not shortchange you a cent. We’ll arrange for the transfer immediately! Immediately!” The lady repeatedly assured. “Little Master… please come to the study room… We… We have important matters to discuss.”
Huang Xiaolong thought to himself, a big business opportunity has arrived!
In the exquisitely decorated study room,
Huang Xiaolong, with a cup of quality tea, casually sat in a wooden chair behind a desk. Xia Ying was standing by his side.
Sitting across them were Shui Yu, her mother, and a few of her brother’s wives.
“Madam, the Boss is stable now. Old Hua is driving him to the hospital,” a maid who looks like relieved walked in and reported. “The exorcists, who kneeled down and committed suicide, have been sent to the morgue… Big Madam will handle this matter…”
“Alright. You may leave,” the Madam waved her hand. “Without my permission, nobody is allowed to come in and disturb us.”
“Yes, Madam.” The maid quietly closed the door as she left.
“Little Master, your skills are truly divine! So, the so-called curse is… is infested with those terrible bugs…” The Madam respectfully said. “For so many years, we’ve invited countless doctors, Taoist priests, and masters but to no avail. Yet, Little Master, you’ve…”
“Ah… enough of the chit-chat.” Huang Xiaolong yawned, “Want me to help your Shui Family break the curse once and for all, so you can rest easy forever?”
“Yes, yes, Little Master. I’ve already contacted the Shui Family’s higher-ups… They are ecstatic and can’t wait to rush here to thank you. If they didn’t fear to disturb you, they would have been here by now…” The Madam cautiously said.
“So, in other words, they… they would like Little Master to assist… Regarding requirements of manpower or funds, just let us know. Our Shui Family has some foundations in Shaanxi Province and can gather hundreds of people at your request.” The Madam earnestly said, “Moreover, we request Little Master to kindly lift the curse from each of our family members…”
“There are too many members in the Shui family. Lifting the curse one by one would exhaust me,” Huang Xiaolong calmly replied. “All we need to do is eliminate the phantom that’s over 200 years old. The curse on the Shui Family will automatically break. This old phantom is at least from the Qing Dynasty era and given its age, it is likely a powerful specter proficient in witchcraft. This is no small feat. I don’t need anyone’s help for this. Against such an evil creature, the more ordinary people present, the higher the potential for casualty.”
“Then… Master, are you planning to… go alone?” The Madam looked up to Huang Xiaolong in admiration.
“It’s fine if I go alone,” Huang Xiaolong laughed. “By the way, deal with that old ghost, and split half of Shui family’s property with me?”
“Yes, yes, it’s our family’s ancestral order. If someone can break the curse, half of the family property should be their reward,” The Madam noded incessantly.
