Chapter 942: Chapter 942: The Supermarket Disappearance Incident Chapter 942: Chapter 942: The Supermarket Disappearance Incident At this critical moment between life and death, Huo Qiu felt his soul almost scared out of his body.
In the blink of an eye, two streams of monster qi whirled out like tornadoes.
Boom~~!!!!
The first appeared as a massive green python that almost demolished the villa as it approached through clouds and mists, its crimson tongue flicking incessantly and sharp fangs flashing in the snakes’ eyes with furious light.
Following the green python was a red fox with eight splendid tails.
Two little monsters were on the attack!
In the split second, Du Shiniang already knew that if she didn’t abandon her attempt to kill Huo Qiu, it was highly possible that she would be devoured by the two monsters!
If Du Shiniang backed off now, there remained a slim chance to flee.
But Du Shiniang’s obsession was too deep, she would rather have her soul shattered than fail to kill Huo Qiu!
Just then!
A talisman burst forth dazzling golden light, overtaking Qingqing and Xiaohong, exuding an overwhelming dominance as it soared towards them!
Boom~~!
The golden light and talisman transformed into a giant golden hand with distinct palm lines, directly seizing Du Shiniang!
“Ah~~~ No! I can’t accept this! I refuse to accept this!” Du Shiniang’s body emitted hissing green smoke as she struggled in vain against the gold hand’s grasp.
Seeing this, Qingqing and Xiaohong both heaved a sigh of relief, reverted to human forms, and landed in the chaos of the hall, grinding their teeth at Du Shiniang, “Damned brat! You almost succeeded! Fortunately, our young master is invincible!”
Huo Qiu was so frightened that he fainted.
Mu Hui and her roommates looked on with horripilation, staring at Du Shiniang being firmly grasped by the golden hand in mid-air, then at Qingqing and Xiaohong, these two delicately beautiful ladies, their minds filled with gigantic question marks.
“Enough, Du Shiniang, you’ve lost. I deliberately gave you a chance to kill Huo Qiu, and Mu Hui was here as well. But you’re so incompetent.” The languid voice of Huang Xiaolong drifted leisurely into the hall, “Alright, I don’t want to waste more time with you. This is the end. You’ve lost.”
Huang Xiaolong strolled into the hall, looking at Du Shiniang whose ghostly body was being eroded by the golden light.
“You… you… who on earth are you~~” Du Shiniang watched Huang Xiaolong in terror.
Huang Xiaolong’s array of methods was utterly incomprehensible to her. In her mind, Huang Xiaolong had become an unbeatable terror, akin to a great demonic lord!
This was not because Huang Xiaolong was THAT strong in combat but what truly shook Du Shiniang was his ability to find Li Jia and Sun Fu’s current incarnations faster than her. What took her four hundred years to accomplish, Huang Xiaolong had done overnight!
“I… I… I yield~~” Du Shiniang said bitterly.
“Your sisters are all here with me. Reunite with them first.” Huang Xiaolong cracked a smile and squared Du Shiniang away into the Soul Confinement Vessel.
Soon, the gloomy and ghostly qi enveloping the villa dissipated like smoke into the air.
Everything returned to normal.
Huo Qiu slowly came to his senses, his gaze still slightly vacant as he looked around.
“It’s okay now, Mr. Huo. All the troubles have been resolved,” Ma Chuxia said with a sigh of relief to Huo Qiu. Then she turned to Mu Hui. “You’re safe now, you can go back to school anytime.”
“Dad~~ are you alright?” At this moment, Huo Bingying hurried out of the study.
“It’s fine, it’s fine, Bingying. Just like this young man said, there was a fierce ghost trying to harm your dad~~ It was so dangerous… The scene just now, almost scared your dad to death,” Huo Qiu said, still shaken. After a pause, he looked at his daughter with ambiguous eyes, then glanced at Huang Xiaolong and said in a low voice, “Bingying, how did your match with this young man turn out?”
“Ah~~” Huo Bingying sighed, her face flushed with red, and then with a very strange look, she turned her gaze towards Huang Xiaolong.
In that look, there was deep, instinctive love, as well as absolute submission, as if in Huo Bingying’s eyes, Huang Xiaolong was the only man she could accommodate.
“Dad~~ from today on, your daughter will follow him. He’s your daughter’s husband… and the only husband for your daughter in this lifetime. Without my husband, your daughter would die,” Huo Bingying cooed.
“Hus~hus~husband???” Huo Qiu was horrified. “So soon?”
“Mm-hmm~” Huo Bingying nodded tenderly, her face full of gentle affection.
“Pfft~~~ Young Master, congratulations, you’ve gained another wife for nothing,” Xiaohong laughed from the side.
“Ahem~~ Little Long, you move pretty fast,” Ma Chuxia said, a bit jealous.
Huang Xiaolong looked helplessly. “She cursed me, but it backfired. From now on, whenever she faces me, she becomes a wanton~~ ahem, that kind of woman. When facing any other man, she turns into a cold and indifferent stone woman. Heh heh, my little wife, this isn’t intentional, it’s her own doing, she lost her husband and her troops,” he said.
Despite her jealousy, Ma Chuxia wouldn’t oppose Huang Xiaolong having multiple wives and concubines. Given Huang Xiaolong’s status, it was nothing out of the ordinary.
“Husband~~~” Huo Bingying hurriedly jumped over, took Huang Xiaolong’s arm, and nestled against him like a bird relying on a person.
“This woman is quite coquettish,” Qingqing muttered disdainfully.
Then, Huo Qiu arranged for the servants in the manor to tidy up the villa once more. Huang Xiaolong was his life-saving benefactor, and having witnessed Huang Xiaolong’s heaven-piercing and earth-crossing abilities, he held great respect for him.
Huang Xiaolong asked Huo Qiu to arrange for a secluded environment for him.
This was a manor on the outskirts of Yangzhou City and was one of Huo Qiu’s properties.
Inside the manor.
Mu Hui and her roommate had returned to school.
Huang Xiaolong, Ma Chuxia, Qingqing, Xiaohong, along with Huo Bingying who was clinging to Huang Xiaolong, entered the manor.
Huang Xiaolong released Du Shiniang and her ghost sisters, the dozens of purple-robed fierce ghosts.
These ghosts hovered in the sky, their faces full of defeat and dejection. They were thoroughly convinced of Huang Xiaolong’s methods, but the terrifying resentment still seeped out of their ghostly bodies. If this continued, they would eventually become bloodthirsty super fierce ghosts.
“Master… my sisters and I are willing to accept the loss and hope the master can give us a chance to stay by the master’s side and serve the master well,” Du Shiniang and the purple-robed ghost women both bowed to Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong smiled. “Now that the messengers and fierce ghosts from Dongying’s underworld have come, I happen to need ghosts. You all possess good aptitude, so follow me, and consider it your good fortune.”
After speaking, Huang Xiaolong sat cross-legged and began to recite Buddhist scriptures.
In a moment, Du Shiniang and those purple-clad female ghosts were bathed in one sacred ray of light after another, the hostility, resentment, and obsessions contained within their ghostly forms were continuously dissolved.
Not long after, a shocking scene unfolded above the villa in the sky, a colossal golden Buddha statue appeared, as if solid.
This Buddha statue was draped in a kasaya, holding a zen staff, adorned with a Treasure Bead and suspended behind it was the red sun, displaying a majestic and sacred presence.
An aura of immense compassion and sorrow filled the space between heaven and earth.
Seeing this, both Ma Chuxia and Huo Bingying couldn’t help but bring their hands together in prayer, silently praying to the Buddha statue in the sky.
Even Xiaohong and Qingqing, these two little demons, became exceedingly devout in their thoughts, as if their demonic energy had undergone an evolution of sorts.
Finally, the centuries of accumulated resentment and obsessions of Du Shiniang and the purple-clad female ghosts dissipated into nothingness. On their beings, not a trace of terrifying ghostly aura remained. All hatred and poison turned to dust, vanishing like smoke in the air.
Even to the likes of Ma Chuxia and Huo Bingying, who were quite skilled in Taoist arts, it was impossible to tell that Du Shiniang and her sisters were ghosts.
They were like a group of ancient beauties with youthful jade-like features, ethereal and graceful, with a transcendent aura arriving in the modern world.
“Thank you, master, for your salvation!” Du Shiniang and her sisters knelt in front of Huang Xiaolong, filled with reverence and worship, feeling as if they had transcended.
“Alright, use your ghostly power to conjure up some modern clothes. Dressed like that, you indeed look out of place,” Huang Xiaolong chuckled.
Soon, Du Shiniang and her sisters transformed in the blink of an eye, each becoming a fashionable modern city girl. Some wore OL uniforms, some leather pants and jackets, and others in jeans and down coats–it was truly a feast for the eyes with variety and charm.
“Pfft~~~ Little Long, look at you, surrounded by beautiful women. All the men in the world will be jealous of you,” Ma Chuxia couldn’t help but laugh coquettishly from the side.
Huo Bingying tugged at Huang Xiaolong’s sleeve and said, “Husband~~ why do you flirt everywhere you go, not even sparing these ancient female ghosts? Your taste is really heavy and varied~~”
“Don’t nag in front of me. If you want to follow me, you have to obey. If you don’t, then get lost and stay in Yangzhou City,” Huang Xiaolong replied irritably.
In front of Huang Xiaolong, Huo Bingying seemed like a born masochist, as if the more he scolded her, the happier she became, and the more she loved Huang Xiaolong.
This situation had Ma Chuxia, Qingqing, and Xiaohong all clicking their tongues in wonder.
After staying a night in the villa, the next morning, Huang Xiaolong was ready to leave Yangzhou without a definitive destination, aiming to wander around the country.
Even though Huang Xiaolong, in the capacity of the Yin Emperor, had issued a decree for all the fierce ghosts of Huaxia to eliminate the ghosts and envoys from Dongying, there were likely many Dongying fierce ghosts stirring trouble in various places across Huaxia.
There was still a month or two before the Dongying messengers would converge in Beijing. Huang Xiaolong took this opportunity to stroll around randomly, intending to eradicate any Dongying fierce ghosts or messengers from the underworld he encountered.
Having Du Shiniang and her sisters alongside him would be exceedingly conspicuous, so Huang Xiaolong decided to temporarily keep them in the ghost capturing jar.
Thus, with Ma Chuxia, Qingqing, Xiaohong, and Huo Bingying, who was shameless in her persistence, by his side, Huang Xiaolong unhesitatingly left Yangzhou City.
A few days later, Huang Xiaolong and his company arrived at “Zhengjiang City”.
The reason they came to “Zhengjiang City” was that Huang Xiaolong, Ma Chuxia, and Huo Bingyan had all sensed that the city was shrouded in a dense yin energy!
Huang Xiaolong even smelled the scent of fierce ghosts from Dongying!
“Hehe~~ This Zhengjiang City is plagued by a large number of yin ghosts and fierce ghosts, and there are no lack of those from Dongying…” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes narrowed slightly. “This time, I’m going to engage in a massive slaughter.”
“Little Long, let’s stay in Zhengjiang City for a few days then. Maybe, we’ll be able to find out the whereabouts of the ghost messengers from Dongying’s underworld!” Ma Chuxia was spirited.
Right away, Huang Xiaolong and the others found a five-star hotel in the city center of Zhengjiang City and opened a luxurious presidential suite that was several hundred square meters in size.
“Little wife, first check to see if any particularly supernatural events have happened recently in Zhengjiang City,” Huang Xiaolong instructed Ma Chuxia.
“Sure,” Ma Chuxia nodded. “Little Long, with such heavy yin energy in Zhengjiang City, there must be many supernatural events. The Metaphysical Society also has a branch here, I will contact my Taoists immediately.”
Next, Huang Xiaolong opened the Ghostly Soul Jar and released Du Shiniang and all her sisters.
“Master~~!”
In the room, Du Shiniang and the purple-clad female ghosts knelt all over the floor.
“You will help me with something,” Huang Xiaolong ordered. “There are many specters haunting this city, go check it out for me.”
“Yes, Master!”
Du Shiniang and the purple-clad female ghosts took orders and departed, turning into streams of ghostly qi that shot out from the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Shortly after, an old Taoist with white-bearded stubble, wearing a Taoist robe, arrived in Huang Xiaolong’s room.
“Little Long, this is the person in charge of the Metaphysical Society’s Zhengjiang branch,” Ma Chuxia introduced him.
The old Taoist gave Huang Xiaolong and Ma Chuxia a deep bow. “Mr. Huang, President, greetings, welcome both of you to Zhengjiang.”
“Hmm~~ Your Taoist strength is mediocre but passable,” Huang Xiaolong glanced at the old Taoist, then got straight to the point. “You should know about the supernatural events that happened recently in Zhengjiang City, right?”
Upon hearing this, the old Taoist shivered, his face showing a trace of horror. “Yes… yes… President, Mr. Huang, one unthinkable supernatural event after another has happened in Zhengjiang City over the past half a month, and we… we’re almost at our wits’ end…”
“Don’t panic, take your time, and go through them one by one,” Ma Chuxia soothed the old Taoist’s emotions.
“Ah~~ Previously, Zhengjiang was very peaceful, even if yin ghosts and fierce ghosts appeared, they were just minor troubles… but recently, it has been truly sinister.” The old Taoist tried to collect his thoughts, “I don’t even know where to begin, because there have been too many paranormal events lately. Let me start with the ‘Haili Supermarket’ incident then.”
“Haili Supermarket is our Zhengjiang’s largest chain supermarket, with a daily flow of at least ten thousand people. Recently… over the past half month… nearly every day, someone would mysteriously disappear while shopping at Haili Supermarket…” The old Taoist had a grim expression and trembling voice. “Before and after, just from the intelligence we have, more than a hundred people have disappeared… and these people, almost as if they’ve evaporated from the human world, we can’t find any clues at all, even after checking the supermarket’s surveillance footage, we haven’t discovered anything. This must be a supernatural event! What kind of fierce ghost is causing this? Over a hundred people missing, this is not a small number! And this number is still increasing every day! If Haili Supermarket hadn’t blocked the news, there would have been chaos by now! But the supermarket can’t hold on much longer~!”
“Oh… Over a hundred people disappeared in half a month, no trace of the living or the dead?” A glint flashed in Huang Xiaolong’s eyes.
“Yes, yes, Mr. Huang, no trace of the living or the dead,” the old Taoist said with a mournful face. “We are at a loss.”
“Husband, let’s go to the supermarket right now!” Huo Bingyan, energized as if injected with adrenaline, grabbed Huang Xiaolong’s hand.
