Chapter 283: Chapter 283: Exploring the Haunted House
Chairman Qiu’s beating indeed proved effective. The starving ghost, which was attached to Yang Kai’s body, was slowly forced out, its head emerging from Yang Kai’s crown chakra.

The starving ghost roared unwillingly, yawning and biting wildly, like a rabid dog.

“Chairman Qiu, keep it up,” Huang Xiaolong directed from the side.

Chairman Qiu’s girlfriend, the young woman, was hiding in a corner of the room, covering her eyes, terrified to watch, but couldn’t resist peeking through her fingers.

Chairman Qiu was both frightened and excited. ‘Dr. Xiaolong… you really know how to have fun, whipping a ghost like whacking a mole… I… I need some time to recover…’

Chairman Qiu took a deep breath, gathered his courage, and continued beating Yang Kai.

Thwap Thwap Thwap

The ghost’s neck came out…

The upper body emerged…

The lower half…

Startlingly!

Swoosh

The starving ghost finally slipped out of Yang Kai’s body like an eel!

“Roar”

The next second, it lunged at Chairman Qiu, appearing to want to tear him to pieces, like an eagle pouncing on a chick!

“Oh my! Oh dear!” Chairman Qiu was so scared he fell onto the ground.

“Freeze!” Huang Xiaolong quickly muttered a freeze spell. The curse took effect instantly, immobilizing the starving ghost in mid-air.

It was like a malevolent statue, still in the position of attack. Its forehead and face bulging with veins of blood, mouth open in a menace as if it can swallow a whole cow…

“Okay then,” Huang Xiaolong nodded, moving to untie the ropes from Yang Kai’s feet.

“My… my God… this… this thing…” Seeing the starving ghost utterly subdued, Chairman Qiu finally regained his composure. He staggered back to his feet, commenting, “Dr. Xiaolong… is this a starving ghost? It’s too terrifying… too terrifying indeed, it’s terrifying in the real sense! But… from an artistic point of view, ah, the malevolence has a certain… beauty… Come, darling, don’t be scared, come and have a look…”

With the knowledge that the starving ghost was controlled by Huang Xiaolong, Chairman Qiu surprisingly found leisure to appreciate it.

“Master… Master… are we done now?” Yang Kai stood straight up, only feeling dizzy and blood rushing to his head, suffering from the severe oxygen deficit.

“Take a look, this is the starving ghost that was attached to your body… have a good look, I don’t want you accusing me of taking your money without doing the job.” Huang Xiaolong pointed at the starving ghost.

Yang Kai looked hard at it and felt a chill run down his spine. Realizing how dangerous the situation was, he grown both scared and angry, he couldn’t help but curse, “Damn it! You ghost, you nearly killed me! Master, please destroy it completely!”

Huang Xiaolong ignored him, extracting the ghost capturing tube and trapped the ghost inside.

“Phew Master, you are truly” Yang Kai breathed a sigh of relief, about to flatter Huang Xiaolong when suddenly, Huang Xiaolong picked up a wooden pail that had been prepared beforehand and poured all its water onto Yang Kai, drenching him.

“Ah… Ah… ah… aaaachoo…” Caught off guard, Yang Kai kept sneezing. “Mas… Master… What’s this? What kind of water is this? Why does it smell so bad?”

As he spoke, Yang Kai couldn’t help but stick out his tongue and taste the water on his lips.

“This is made of the urine of a child and rice rinsing water,” Huang Xiaolong casually explained, “The starving ghost has been exorcised from your body, but some of its yin and evil aura still remains. This mix of child’s urine and rice rinsing water will allow you to sneeze out the residual evil aura from your body. The rice rinsing water I got from someone else; the child’s urine… is mine.”

“Uh” Yang Kai froze, “Y…Your urine…”

“What’s wrong with my urine? It’s still considered genuine child’s urine.” Huang Xiaolong then handed a handful of coins to Yang Kai. “These are blessed coins that I got from a nearby temple. They have a certain amount of mana. If you spend these coins, it will completely dissipate the remaining evil aura in your body. Plus, you’ve been possessed by the starving ghost for a couple of days and lost a lot of blood and energy. Starting from tomorrow, eat some foods that replenish blood and energy – things like turtle soup, toad soup, softshell turtle soup. Drink them plentifully.”

Grateful, Yang Kai accepted the coins and treasured them in his pocket. “I’ll go to the supermarket in a bit and buy a pack of cigarettes. Thanks for your help!”

After dealing with Yang Kai’s starving ghost, Yang Kai revered Huang Xiaolong even more. At lunchtime, he insisted on treating Huang Xiaolong to a meal.

Huang Xiaolong, Chairman Qiu, and the young woman all accepted Yang Kai’s offer.

While having lunch, Yang Kai changed his damp clothes, but the shoe prints all over his face and neck attracted a lot of attention.

But since he had survived, what did these marks matter?

After lunch, Chairman Qiu said, “Dr. Xiaolong, everything’s ready. As per your instructions, we have sprinkled glutinous rice and chicken blood in the villa. Now, shall we take you to the house?”

“Sure,” said Huang Xiaolong, looking interested.

Yang Kai put on a flattering smile on one side. “Master, what kind of house are you going to see?”

“The most haunted house in Binhai,” said Huang Xiaolong glaring at Yang Kai. “That’s it. You’re off duty now. You can leave.”

“The most haunted… house in Binhai?” A glint appeared in Yang Kai’s eyes.

As a matter of fact, Yang Kai was an enthusiast of the supernatural. Perhaps that was why he ended up playing “Meet the Ghost in Ten Ways,” especially games like “Ghost of Meals” and “Ghost Catch Hide and Seek.”

Although these games were created to prove that there were no ghosts in the world, a normal person would never play these seemingly eccentric games unless they have a certain affinity for the supernatural.

When he heard Huang Xiaolong mention he was going to visit “the most haunted house in Binhai,” his curiosity was piqued. “Wow! Master, are you referring to the house in ‘Port Villa Residential Area’, the villa where dozens of people have died?”

“You know about it?” Huang Xiaolong asked, slightly frowning.

“I’ve read a lot of articles about that villa on the Internet,” said Yang Kai, gushing over his knowledge. “Apparently, the first people to die in there were a family of three – a young couple and their child. And then…”

“Enough, there’s no need for you to go on. I’ll have a clear understanding once I get there,” interrupted Huang Xiaolong, standing up. “The news circulating on the Internet often contains misinformation.”

“Chairman Qiu, let’s go now,” insisted Huang Xiaolong, unable to hide his enthusiasm.

A rural boy is finally going to have his own villa!

“All right,” agreed Chairman Qiu, standing up.

“Master! Can I… can I go with you? Exploring a haunted house… sounds interesting…” Yang Kai piped up, rubbing his hands together.

“Heh heh You do seem quite fearless.” Huang Xiaolong chuckled.

This man was one of a kind. Huang Xiaolong had just managed to rid him of a dangerous possession only for him to show interest in visiting the most haunted house in Binhai…

“Suit yourself. But if anything happens, it’s on your head,” Huang Xiaolong shrugged off Yang Kai and walked away.
