Chapter 478: Chapter 478 Night Exploration of the Villa!
 

It was getting late, so Huang Xiaolong prepared to return to his hotel to rest.

Jin Mengqi spoke hesitantly, “Master Huang, would you… can you come to… come to my house for a while… I’m… I’m alone, a bit scared…”

As she said this, her face flushed… well, that was a strong implication!

Huang Xiaolong looked at Jin Mengqi’s wound bitten by the ghost cat, smiled faintly and said, “You should go home and get more rest. Although I’ve treated you, and your physical quality is different from ordinary people, you still need a good night’s sleep to fully recover.”

“Oh~~” Jin Mengqi nodded.

The two agreed to meet on the pedestrian street the following evening.

Huang Xiaolong walked Jin Mengqi back to the villa area, then drove back to the hotel he was staying at.

Taking a bath, sleeping soundly!

The next day at noon, they dined at the revolving restaurant at the top of the hotel.

“Master Little Long, the boxing match in Jiangnan City has ended, and you seem eager to return. When should we go back to Binhai?” Sun Hu asked respectfully.

Now, Huang Xiaolong’s word was the law for everyone in the Sun family.

“No rush, I have some things to handle.” Huang Xiaolong replied, a playful smile on his lips.

Huang Xiaolong decided not to tell the Sun family about Madam Catface, not even Sun Wei.

“Little Long, what else do you have to do?” Sun Wei asked curiously.

“Oh, nothing much, just some petty stuff.” Huang Xiaolong replied with a playful grin.

“Alright, as you say~” Sun Wei smiled sweetly at Huang Xiaolong, not pressing further.

During the meal, Sun Feng suddenly said, “According to the news, there have been many inexplicable events in Jiangnan City recently.”

Everyone turned their attention to Sun Feng.

“Apparently, there’s an outbreak of ‘cat scratch disease’ in Jiangnan City,” Sun Feng said, his face filled with dread.

“What’s so surprising about that?” Sun Hu disdainfully glanced at his son.

“Dad, the ‘cat scratch disease’ in Jiangnan City is lethal!” Sun Feng replied with wide eyes. “Five people have died this month! They were all bitten or scratched by stray cats. On the same day, their bodies turned black and started swelling. Even rushing to the hospital didn’t help.”

“Really? People can die from being bitten or scratched by stray cats?” Sun Wei also expressed doubt.

“Unfortunately, it’s true. Everyone in Jiangnan City is scared. The police have even gotten involved to catch and kill stray cats.” Sun Feng continued, “Right, about 20 years ago, something strange happened in Jiangnan City…”

Sun Feng recounted the legend of Madam Catface.

Sun Hu, Sun Wei, and the others listened, completely flabbergasted.

“Nowadays, the frequent mysterious incidences of people being killed by wild cats have revived the legend of Madam Catface. Many locals in Jiangnan City are discussing it,” Sun Feng said.

“How strange,” Sun Hu mused. “Regardless of whether the legend is true, if more deaths from ‘cat scratch disease’ occur, Jiangnan City will be thrown into chaos; everyone will be terrified. The panic would be hard to contain.”

“Hehe~~~ Keep chatting. Sister Bai Hu, let’s go play in the room,” Huang Xiaolong said calmly, leading Sun Wei back to his room.

Given Sun Wei was menstruating, she couldn’t fully participate in the activities with Huang Xiaolong, so they just cuddled, and shared kisses.

After dinner. 8pm.

Huang Xiaolong, alone, drove to the pedestrian street and parked his car. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw Jin Mengqi, who had been waiting for a while.

Jin Mengqi was dressed in tight exercise clothes, which accentuated her curvaceous figure. Her long hair was tied in a ponytail. Shedding her usually sophisticated demeanor, she carried an air of vigor.

Jin Mengqi was indeed as captivating as the goddess, Sun Wei.

As soon as Huang Xiaolong laid eyes on Jin Mengqi, he recalled the unparalleled beauty of her in the spring bloom last night, her splendid figure in the dressing gown, every inch of which had been scanned by him.

This gave Huang Xiaolong a peculiar feeling.

“Master Huang~~~” Jin Mengqi saw Huang Xiaolong and immediately ran over to him enthusiastically.

A pleasant fragrance assaulted his senses.

“Is your injury okay now?” Huang Xiaolong asked.

Jin Mengqi quickly raised her pale arm, “I’m fine, Master Huang, see, it has already scabbed over.”

After a moment, Jin Mengqi said with a touched look. “Master Huang, thank you so much. I saw on the news today that there’s been a severe outbreak of cat scratch disease recently, it has caused several deaths. If… If you hadn’t arrived in time last night, I… I would have been done for~~”

“Heh~~ The so-called cat scratch disease is just the mischief of cat spirits.” Huang Xiaolong laughed. “Xia Ying and the Old Cat Lady agreed to meet at 10 o’clock tonight, and it’s not yet 9 o’clock, let’s head over earlier to take a look.”

“Mm hmm~~” Jin Mengqi nodded repeatedly.

The two of them strolled through the chilling windy pedestrian street and then entered that neighbourhood.

In this neighbourhood, there was an unusually large number of stray cats, swaggering around fearlessly. They did not run away from people, instead, they would stare at people with fierce eyes as if ready to pounce at any moment.

“Yikes~~ Master Huang, these cats are really creepy… Now, I am somewhat afraid of cats.” Jin Mengqi confessed with lingering fear.

“The cats in the neighbourhood are not cat spirits, but they have been infected by Yin Sha Qi, turning into evil cats.” Huang Xiaolong said with a nonchalant smile. “Don’t be afraid, I am here.”

The two of them traveled through the neighbourhood and quickly arrived outside the villa!

The villa where the Old Cat Lady resides!

The iron gate of the villa was tightly shut.

“Master Huang… We’re here…” Jin Mengqi quickly wrapped her arm around Huang Xiaolong’s. “But, the door is locked, how do we get in? Should we… Should we call the Old Cat Lady’s servant to open the door? But they might not let us in.”

Huang Xiaolong’s ears twitched a few times, then he shook his head. “There’s nobody in the villa.”

“Hey… What should we do then?” Jin Mengqi glanced at the towering wall outside the villa. It was very high, even she, a quasi-Grandmaster, would struggle to climb over it.

Of course, this wall was no barrier for a Great Grandmaster like Huang Xiaolong.

“Here, this is a one-time ‘Wall-Penetrating Talisman’.” Huang Xiaolong took out a talisman from his cloth bag and stuck it on Jin Mengqi’s forehead.

He then led Jin Mengqi and ran straight towards the iron gate.

Whoosh~ Whoosh~

The two easily passed through the tightly closed iron gate and arrived in the villa courtyard.

The courtyard was very chilly, even though it was not yet autumn, the atmosphere felt like grieving crows crying in the cold, eerie wind.

The courtyard was filled with stark naked old trees, their gnarled branches stretching out chaotically, appearing like ghostly hands trying to drag people into hell!

At one end of the courtyard, there stood an old, dilapidated Western-style villa, showing signs of great age. The door was slightly ajar, revealing a small crack from which a bloody smell emanated, making the door seem like a horrific wide open mouth of a demon, ready to consume people!

“Meow~~ meow~~ meow meow~~~~”

Suddenly, a large mass of black cats gathered from all corners of the courtyard and blocked the villa entrance. Their tails stood erect, fur bristling, snarling at Huang Xiaolong and Jin Mengqi as if their territory and kingdom had been invaded by strangers!

The next second!

A dense crowd of black cats fanned out and surrounded Huang Xiaolong and Jin Mengqi! It was ominously threatening!
