Chapter 623: Chapter 623: Magic Duel
“Stop joking around Er Fang~~ Be careful I’ll bite you!” Zhou Mi blushed, she slightly pinched Miao Erfang and complained. “Master Long saved your life, not mine. If anyone should be serving him… it should be you. Why do you have to drag me in this too…”
At this point, though, Zhou Mi was intrigued. ‘Initially at Binhai, if Master Long had not acted, wouldn’t I also have been harmed by that mad genius of Binhai?’
Miao Erfang giggled. “Mimi, I see you’re eager to serve Master Long… Alright, let’s do it together, it’ll save time and energy.”
Xia Ying was displeased at how these two anchors were speaking impudently. She felt a pang of jealousy and put on a cold face. “Girls should mind their manners when speaking.”
“Heh, someone’s jealous.” Miao Erfang muttered under her breath.
“Let’s go, Little Long,” Xia Ying said quickly.
Immediately, Huang Xiaolong bid farewell to the two beautiful anchors, and left the Pear Garden District with Xia Ying.
They didn’t stay at the Shui family’s home, but in a five-star hotel in the city area, occupying two rooms.
After taking a bath, Huang Xiaolong laid on the bed and fell asleep.
….
At dawn.
The Mystic Arts Society’s villa.
A building was brightly lit.
A group of key members of the Mystic Arts Society and the glamorous woman, with long legs and a short skirt reminiscent of a trendy actress, all gathered together.
At this point, an old Taoist looked horrified, his face filled with disbelief. “Wow, I really didn’t expect that young man, Huang Xiaolong, to actually exorcize the violent ghost of the Pear Garden District… It was possibly a Blue Ghost… Impressive indeed. Appearance can be deceiving. Initially, I thought this person was all show and no substance…”
“This person is worth recruiting!” The President, with her phoenix-like eyes, flicked her fingernails. “He could be the finale for my Mystic Arts Society, my right-hand man! He could help the Mystic Arts Society flourish!”
“However~~~” A middle-aged Taoist frowned slightly. “Madam President, I fear this young man is a little unruly. After solving this difficult question, he didn’t come to our Mystic Arts Society to report or receive his reward. He seems indifferent.”
“Hehe~~” The president laughed, her smile bloomed like a flower. “People with skill tend to be proud, but it’s no problem, I am confident in roping him into the Mystic Arts Society… we must seize the day, I am excited to meet him, and will go meet him tonight.”
“Madam President, we have already ascertained the hotel room where the young Huang Xiaolong is staying.” A middle-aged Taoist said in a deep voice. “But Madam President, please be very careful… why not let us accompany you?”
“No need, I can handle it.” The beautiful president’s eyes flashed with anticipation, she seemed impatient to meet Huang Xiaolong immediately.
In fact, she was itching for a fight!
Truth be told, this beautiful president was extremely powerful in the art, and she held quite a reputation among the Taoist circles in Huaxia. She was a naturally gifted genius, and she craved to test other Taoist arts, having lost only once.
Now that she knew Huang Xiaolong was skilled in the art, she wished she could sprout wings and immediately spar with Huang Xiaolong!
Perhaps, the beautiful president was just a lonely expert!
….
At 2 or 3 in the morning.
Huang Xiaolong was lying sprawled on the hotel’s king-sized bed, sleeping soundly.
Suddenly!
Ping-pong~~ ping-pong~~ ping-pong~~!!
Rapid sounds rang out on the floor, as if a lot of people were playing table tennis.
“Uh~~~” Huang Xiaolong sluggishly rose from the bed, rubbing his sleepy eyes. Using the moonlight that seeped through the floor-length windows, he saw several round balls bouncing around the room’s floor.
“Damn it… it’s really a death wish! Disturbing my sleep!” Huang Xiaolong was slightly angered but also found it amusing.
Those small balls were all eyeballs!
They were wide-open eyeballs, filled with resentment and oozing with dark blood!
Leaning against the wall, Huang Xiaolong watched the bizarre scene unfold, amused.
Suddenly, the room was filled with dense negative energy. Immediately after, strange noises started coming from all around, as if many things were being dragged across the floor.
The next second…
A dozen women dressed in orange dresses, crawled from all corners of the room toward the bed where Huang Xiaolong was sleeping. These women’s bodies were extremely distorted, like all their joints had been dislocated. Each of them had hollow eyes with no eyeballs.
“Help us, help us find our eyeballs~~ Please… We’ve lost our eyeballs~~~”
The women crawling on the floor, all shouted at Huang Xiaolong in unison.
“What the hell, who has such a sick sense of humor? Is this person trying to kill me or scare me?” Huang Xiaolong was speechless. “This isn’t fun at all!”
With that, Huang Xiaolong casually retrieved the Soul-capturing Tube from his canvas bag by the pillow and opened the lid.
Surreal forces, similar to a black hole’s vortex, sucked all the orange-dressed women crawling around like dogs, and the disgusting eyeballs, into the Soul-capturing Tube.”
“That’s settled~ Now can I get some sleep…” Huang Xiaolong was just about to lie down.
Just then, the sound of a bird chirping was heard.
A partridge abruptly flew in from the floor-length window and circled around Huang Xiaolong’s bed tirelessly.
Huang Xiaolong laughed as he watched. “Haha~~ using a charm to mimic a bird. Quite lifelike. Of all the Taoists I’ve seen, this one is probably the best.”
Huang Xiaolong reached out and grabbed it, a force shot out, capturing the partridge. After struggling for a bit and losing considerable feathers, the partridge eventually transformed into a bird-shaped yellow paper charm.
Huang Xiaolong unfolded the charm, aside from some Taoist symbols, there was also a sentence written on it— “Meet immediately on the basketball court outside the hotel.”
The moment Huang Xiaolong finished reading what was written on the charm, unexpectedly, the entire charm ignited, turning into a lightning bolt aiming straight at Huang Xiaolong’s face.
A charm within a charm!
The person had cleverly hidden a “Thunder Punishment Charm” within the bird charm. The moment Huang Xiaolong unfolded the bird charm, it triggered the “Thunder Punishment Charm”.
However, the power of the “Thunder Punishment Charm” wasn’t great. If one got hit, they would be left with a charred face, and their hair would stand on end. It seemed that the person didn’t mean to harm him, but merely fool around with Huang Xiaolong.
“Damn!” Huang Xiaolong caught the light and crushed it into a large arc of electricity.
“I really want to see who dares to dig the soil on the Yin Emperor’s head! Fed up with living!” Huang Xiaolong sprang up from the bed.
He quickly got dressed, grabbed his canvas bag, and left the room.
There was a basketball court near the hotel, and many people usually played there. But at 2 or 3 in the morning, the court was dark and very quiet.
A few stray ghosts were playing hide-and-seek on the basketball court.
The beautiful president was dressed in a short skirt, sitting on the basketball hoop, swinging her long legs like a child on a swing.
Propping her chin with one hand, she was waiting with interest.
“Sister, come down and play with us.” The little ghosts called up to the beautiful president with a smile.
“No, I am waiting for someone.” The beautiful president replied with a smile. Immediately her pupils slightly contracted, “He’s coming!”
