Chapter 342: Blind Date Meeting (Fifth Update)
Old Zhong, blinded by a ghost, would never believe what Huang Xiaolong was saying. Furthermore, he saw Huang Xiaolong as a romantic rival. He despised Huang Xiaolong, even hated him to the bone, and did not care to listen to Huang Xiaolong’s words.
Huang Xiaolong felt the same way, didn’t he?
“Pffft…Fine, I initially planned to save you, but you’re telling me to scram? Alright then, go ahead and fend for yourself.” Huang Xiaolong glared at Old Zhong, as if looking at a dead man.
In reality, all Huang Xiaolong had to do was to remove the wild ghost perched on Old Zhong’s neck, and Old Zhong would snap back to reality. But Old Zhong had a foul mouth and was very obnoxious, so Huang Xiaolong certainly wouldn’t save him.
Huang Xiaolong was not a saint!
“Sister Jing, let’s go destroy those zombies.” Huang Xiaolong took Lin Jing’s hand and walked away. Lin Jing took one last look at Old Zhong, her eyes filled with a hint of pity, but she did not say anything else.
After all, they had already given him a chance. If he chose not to cherish it, it was not the fault of others.
When faced with these weak zombies, Huang Xiaolong could dispatch them effortlessly. Along the way, he used exorcism seals upon encountering them, and eventually, Lin Jing was also capable of helping to kill zombies.
By the time the police arrived, almost all the rampaging zombies in the Night Fragrance Club had been wiped out by Huang Xiaolong and Lin Jing.
Lin Jing, who was in charge, quickly fed glutinous rice to those bitten by the zombies, and also applied glutinous rice to their wounds.
“Captain Lin, come quickly, something is wrong with… Old Zhong…” A police officer anxiously ran over.
Everyone rushed over.
Old Zhong was no longer lucid. On his body, apart from the initial bite marks, he had accumulated several more bite marks on his neck and face.
At this point, Old Zhong was shrouded in a cloud of black qi, a sign that the zombie poison was coursing throughout his body with the blood flow.
“Old Zhong…you…” In the end, Lin Jing’s compassionate side won over. She told the officer beside her, “Quickly feed Old Zhong glutinous rice and apply it to his wounds! Apply a lot!”
“No…I…I…I don’t believe in zombies… How can there be such…such monsters in this world… I just have a high fever… I have a high fever…” Old Zhong glared at Huang Xiaolong with a gnarly look, filled with resentment. “Damn it, you, you want to…steal my woman… I… I won’t lose to you… Lin Jing… Lin Jing is mine…”
“Heh heh…” Huang Xiaolong chuckled. “Sister Jing, I’m going home to sleep. This guy is about to turn into a zombie soon. If you’d like to save him, try burying him in a pile of glutinous rice. But the survival rate is not too high. Once he becomes a zombie…”
As he spoke, Huang Xiaolong took out a few exorcism seals and handed them to Lin Jing. “Sister Jing, you know what to do.”
“Err…” Lin Jing bit her lip, took the exorcism seals, and nodded. “Little Long, I know what to do. Don’t worry.”
The dismemberment case that had startled Binhai had been solved, and they’d even exterminated the big bosses behind the Night Fragrance Club. This night was perhaps thrilling for Lin Jing, but for Huang Xiaolong, it was entirely commonplace. Just like a tiny wave in the vast ocean!
After leaving the Night Fragrance Club, Huang Xiaolong drove home.
After a hot bath, he hit the sack.
Early next morning, Huang Xiaolong was woken up by his phone ringing.
He initially thought it was Lin Jing calling, but upon checking the caller ID, it turned out to be his head wife, Song Yuru.
“Hmmm Head wife, I haven’t woken up yet” Huang Xiaolong groaned sleepily, “Why don’t you come over and sleep with me? Hehe, nobody’s at home today… Head wife, come over My bed is big and comfortable.”
“Pfft What a pervert, talking dirty in broad daylight!” Song Yuru playfully chided. “Anyway, I need to talk to you.”
“Huh Head wife, what’s the matter?” Huang Xiaolong asked earnestly. “Did someone fall ill? Or has someone been possessed?”
“No” Song Yuru could not help but laugh. “Little Long, does it have to be something unlucky when I’m looking for you? Listen, it’s like this; it’s Qinghan’s birthday today. She invited me to a luncheon…”
“Oh, I see, head wife. You and Qinghan are close friends, so she invited you to her birthday luncheon, but you need a male companion, so you want me to go with you, right?” Huang Xiaolong laughed. “No problem, I’ll accompany you.”
“No, no Little Long… Actually, Qinghan asked me to tell you that she’s inviting you too.” As she said this, Song Yuru’s voice had a hint of jealousy. “Qinghan really wants to invite you. But… she is shy and afraid you might refuse, so she asked me to relay it…”
“Is that so?” Huang Xiaolong laughed. “That’s not a problem either. Head wife, let’s just go together.”
“Little Long… Actually, this birthday party of Qinghan’s… is also serving another special purpose.” Song Yuru hesitated a bit before speaking. “Qinghan’s parents… are using Qinghan’s birthday as an opportunity to invite young and talented men from Binhai… They…are planning to choose a prospective groom for Qinghan.”
“Huh? Turns out this isn’t just a birthday party; it’s a matchmaking event!” Huang Xiaolong had a sudden moment of realization. “Tsk, city people really know how to have fun.”
“It’s both a birthday party and a matchmaking event. Little Long, do you think Qinghan might choose you?” Song Yuru asked with a hint of jealousy.
“Pfft Head wife, I hardly know Qinghan… I’ve only met her a few times.” Huang Xiaolong confessed. “Besides, it’s Qinghan’s parents looking for a son-in-law. I’ve never met them. I’m just a country-boy; would Qinghan’s parents give their precious daughter to a country kid?”
“I’m dizzy! Little Long, you’re getting better at sweet talking.” Hearing Huang Xiaolong’s words, Song Yuru was slightly relieved. She muttered, “I’m just worried about you Little Long, you won’t think I’m petty, right?”
“Head wife, if you’re that worried, I can just not go. I’ll go back to sleep.” Huang Xiaolong yawned.
“No, no Little Long, Qinghan sincerely invited you. You should go. It would be really rude to decline” Song Yuru was now pleading with Huang Xiaolong. “Little Long, I’ll come over and we can go together.”
“Alright then.” Huang Xiaolong got up from the bed.
“Ahem Little Long, also… You know, after all, Qinghan is the daughter of the Shu family, who’s very rich. The guests they invite must all be rich or aristocratic… As Qinghan’s friends, we cannot… cannot disgrace her So, about the birthday gift, shouldn’t we prepare carefully ” Song Yuru stammered.
“Oh… a birthday gift? Head wife, you don’t need to prepare anything. I’ll arrange it for both of us. Don’t worry, the birthday gift I’m preparing won’t embarrass you, me, or Qinghan. Trust me.” Huang Xiaolong spoke earnestly.
“Alright. Little Long, I choose to believe you. I’m hanging up. Wait for me at the main entrance of the community.” Song Yuru smiled sweetly.
After ending the call, Huang Xiaolong rummaged through his canvas bag, murmuring to himself. “The head wife is Qinghan’s bestie, so I need to gift something decent for Qinghan’s birthday… But this certainly can’t stump me Hehe, I have plenty of good stuff…Ah time to get up! Blind date event? Interesting… Let’s go and see later, who are the men participating in this — blind date event!”
