Chapter 296: Chapter 296: Have They Returned?
After helping the Lin Family rectify the feng shui issue with their land (mainly for Lin Jing), Huang Xiaolong prepared to take his leave.
He still had to deal with three escaped vicious ghosts in the villa, so Huang Xiaolong planned to return earlier.
According to Huang Xiaolong’s judgment, the three vicious ghosts would return to the villa at midnight, 0:00. However, he didn’t rule out the possibility that they might return earlier.
“Oh… Dad, Sis, today our teacher secured a standalone villa in the coastal residential district,” Lin Zicong started to explain.
However, since Huang Xiaolong hadn’t brought it up, Lin Zicong didn’t mention that this villa was known as the “most haunted house in Binhai”.
“Heh Little Long, buying a house…” Lin Jing affectionately looked at Huang Xiaolong. “Celebrating a new home should be lively. How about inviting some friends over for a cookout tonight? Barbecue would be quite fun.”
Lin Zicong looked at Lin Jing with a strange expression, thinking to himself, “Sister, are you sure you want to go?”
There will be a haunting in that villa at midnight!
But having witnessed Huang Xiaolong’s supernatural methods in his face-off against Master Ren today, Lin Zicong believed that no matter what kind of vicious ghost, it would probably be defeated by Huang Xiaolong in the blink of an eye!
Lin Jianfeng discerned the mood, and said, laughing. “Okay, Little Long, this is a matter for you young people. I, an old man, won’t participate. Jing, Zicong, it’s a housewarming for Little Long, indeed it should be lively. You two should accompany Little Long tonight.”
Having said that, Lin Jianfeng left with the other members of the Lin family.
Only Huang Xiaolong, Lin Jing, Lin Zicong, and Yang Kai remained on the construction site.
“Sister Jing, do you really want to invite people over?” Huang Xiaolong laughed.
“I have barbecue equipment in my car. We could go buy some ingredients at the supermarket now, and then have a barbecue on your villa’s lawn tonight.” Lin Jing seemed quite excited about the idea.
“Yeah, Master Long, with many people making the atmosphere lively, the ghosts would be too scared to come,” Yang Kai squeezed out a smile on his plump face.
Huang Xiaolong thought to himself, “You don’t know a damn thing!”
“Alright then, I don’t mind.” Huang Xiaolong shrugged.
Just then, his wife Song Yuru called him.
After Huang Xiaolong destroyed the Hu Family’s ancestral grave and completely eradicated it, he hadn’t had time to see Song Yuru yet, which made her miss Huang Xiaolong a lot.
So, she called and was adamant to have dinner with Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong asked Song Yuru to wait at the school gate.
Huang Xiaolong arranged for Yang Kai and Lin Zicong to buy barbecue ingredients from the supermarket.
Huang Xiaolong rode in Lin Jing’s car to pick up his wife Song Yuru.
He didn’t intend to invite others. Just there few would be enough to have fun together at night.
Lin Jing drove a moonlight white BMW 730LI. She picked up Song Yuru at the entrance of Binhai University Campus.
“Huh? Officer Sister?” Song Yuru had met Lin Jing before.
It was on the train.
“Little Long, who is this?” Lin Jing thought for a moment. “I remember now, this young girl was there in the video of the surgery you did for me.”
According to Huang Xiaolong’s worldview, he believed that a strong man could have many beautiful wives at the same time, therefore, he didn’t mind his future wives meeting each other. Instead, he chuckled, “Sister Jing, you and my wife have met before, so there will be no awkwardness when you hang out.”
“My wife?” Lin Jing looked at Huang Xiaolong, her eyebrows slightly raised, but she didn’t say much and just smiled at Song Yuru. “Tonight we’re celebrating Little Long’s housewarming. We’re going to make barbecue.”
“Little Long, you bought a house?” Song Yuru exclaimed in surprise.
“Yeah, it’s a villa.” Huang Xiaolong responded with a proud grin.
Soon, everyone met up outside the Harbor Villa residential area.
In such high-end neighborhoods, people and cars are strictly separated, so Lin Zicong and Yang Kai acted as the labor force, carrying all sorts of barbecue tools and ingredients as they walked into the residential area.
At this time, it was already dark. The lighting in the district was vibrant and beautiful, like trees of fire and showers of gold, a sight for sore eyes.
Song Yuru, being from a poor family, had never been to such luxurious villa areas. It was like she had stepped into another world.
“Wow… Little Long, you really bought a villa here?” Song Yuru exclaimed, “The villas here must be pretty expensive, right?”
“Big wife, I wasn’t fooling you. I did buy a villa. I came to look at it this afternoon.” Huang Xiaolong said cheerfully. “See… I even have the keys here.”
While speaking, Huang Xiaolong took out the keys that Qian Feng had given him and casually flaunted them in front of Song Yuru. “But I bought this villa for a very cheap price, only eight million. The market price is usually several tens of millions. You can say I scored a big discount.”
“Little Long, you bought your own villa in the Harbor area for just eight million?” Song Yuru didn’t have a clear concept of the price of a seaside villa, but Lin Jing did. Her expression was one of disbelief.
“Sister, the house Teacher bought has a reputation as the most haunted house in Binhai, of course it was cheap.” Lin Zicong interrupted. “This afternoon, I went with Teacher to look at the house; there were a lot of resentful spirits scattered around. But the three most powerful ghosts escaped. Teacher said they’ll come back at midnight. After Teacher draws them out and gets rid of them, the villa will be cleansed.”
“Huh? Binhai’s most haunted house? Three powerful ghosts?”
Both Lin Jing and Song Yuru were somewhat dumbfounded.
“Hahaha Sister Jing, and my big wife, this time you willingly came to play here. I didn’t trick you guys.” Huang Xiaolong laughed heartily. “But, won’t it be even more fun after we eat barbecue to watch me catch ghosts.”
“Well… Little Long, it appears that you and ghosts are tied up together. Everywhere you go, you interact with spirits.” Song Yuru was rendered speechless.
Lin Jing, however, quickly regained her composure.
Ghosts generally scare people, but with Huang Xiaolong present, they’re really no big deal.
“Little Long, don’t worry. I won’t be scared. You gave me a ‘Thunder Charm,’ right? If I see a ghost, I’ll directly annihilate it.” Lin Jing smiled sweetly.
After some time, they finally arrived at the haunted house!
In the daytime, this haunted house doesn’t seem special, but when night falls it gives off a creepy feeling.
A gust of cold wind blew against their faces. It felt a bit like the bleak autumn and winter winds.
Huang Xiaolong chuckled while looking at the haunted house. Suddenly, his normally dark pupils sparkled, changing to resemble ghostly eyes.
Within Huang Xiaolong’s view, the haunted house transformed!
In the sky above the house, swirls of ink-like, dead air churned, heavy resentment boiling like boiling water.
The walls of the villa were covered with mottled bloodstains, lots of cobwebs, and dust filled every corner of the villa.
“Ummm… Master Long…they…they have come back, right?” Yang Kai asked Huang Xiaolong with a mixture of excitement and fear trembling in his voice.
Huang Xiaolong suddenly laughed heartily, “We’re going to have fun tonight! This house is devilishly formidable at night. Beware everyone, those who are faint-hearted should not proceed! Bear that in mind!”
Having said that, Huang Xiaolong strode forward.
