Chapter 432 - : A Cup of Dirty Water! (Fifth update)

Chapter 432: Chapter 432: A Cup of Dirty Water! (Fifth update)

At this moment, Ying Aoshan held Huang Xiaolong in high esteem.

Firstly, Huang Xiaolong’s “A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix”, had genuinely moved her and touched her heartstrings. From the perspective of guqin skills, it wasn’t inappropriate for her to call Huang Xiaolong her “teacher”.

Secondly, Huang Xiaolong’s “Picture of Longevity” last night was unprecedented and had once again completely conquered Ying Aoshan.

Thirdly, Huang Xiaolong’s comments that Ying Aoshan had limited time left in her life might not be an exaggeration. There were certain signs pointing to the accuracy of his statement.

Fourth, although most men Ying Aoshan encountered had lusted after her and sought her company, hoping to spend more time at her side, Huang Xiaolong had repeatedly rejected her. This made her feel that Huang Xiaolong was different from any man…he was intriguing, mysterious, and marched to his own beat!

Furthermore, last night, Huang Xiaolong had pulverized Wei Feiyang into a pulp with a single punch on the stage. Mengqi didn’t know about this, but Ying Aoshan did.

‘I wonder how many more secrets Young Master Huang has that have remained unseen by Aoshan so far~~’ Ying Aoshan looked at Huang Xiaolong curiously. She then glanced at the cash check on the table and at Mengqi, who stood by like a wooden stake. She nodded in seeming realization and said with a light smile, “Little sister Mengqi, there are some things Old Master Jin should decide for himself. You younger ones need not involve yourselves. Otherwise, it would upset the old man, which would be rather counterproductive.”

“This…this…Miss Aoshan…” Mengqi was visibly embarrassed.

Of course, Mengqi wouldn’t give up so easily.

Had everyone in the Jin Family address Huang Xiaolong as their elder, even as an ancestral teacher…this was impossible, it was absurd!

“Young Master Huang, are you available to hang out today? I’m quite familiar with Jiangnan City, how about I accompany you and show you around?” Ying Aoshan volunteered.

She thought, ‘Young Master Huang, you won’t refuse Aoshan this time, will you?’

The mere thought of it gave Mengqi a sinking feeling… ‘Impossible! Miss Aoshan is a revered figure. She is the moon in the sky. Numerous distinguished young men and martial arts geniuses from ancient martial families have been pursuing her relentlessly. Yet, Miss Aoshan always remained indifferent. But today…this noble, celestial female figure has stepped off the pedestal and is… sticking herself to Huang Xiaolong… Could it be that Huang Xiaolong really has an incredible background? But according to our intelligence, he is just a member of the Sun Family in Binhai. A Sun Family that is merely a minor ancient martial arts lineage that has already lost its succession. Could there be some other hidden information?’

The very thought was terrifying.

At this moment, Mengqi felt a chill run down her spine. Based on Ying Aoshan’s attitude towards Huang Xiaolong, it was very likely that Huang Xiaolong was hiding his real identity!

If Huang Xiaolong were the son of a concealed, high-profile family, the Jin Family would be in a real mess for having offended him!

‘Not good. I…I must find out the real identity of Huang Xiaolong… I cannot act recklessly anymore…’ Mengqi took a deep breath.

“Oh? Today? I have something to do tonight…” Huang Xiaolong glanced at Ying Aoshan perfunctorily. “Miss Ying Aoshan, you needn’t follow me around. Let me just cure your sickness.”

That being said, Huang Xiaolong got up and took a paper cup, filling it up halfway with water from the dispenser.

He put the paper cup on the table.

“Miss Ying Aoshan…you’re a grandmaster of ancient martial arts, immune to various diseases, how could you…get sick….” Mengqi babbled, her face marked with suspicion.

Huang Xiaolong looked at Ying Aoshan teasingly, “I told you, you are about to die. It’s not a threat.”

“That…” Ying Aoshan’s eyes flickered slightly. “Young Master Huang, I have been practicing ancient martial arts since childhood and have cultivated True Qi within my body. I have a peculiar perception of life and death crises…honestly, I feel fine. There…are no abnormalities…”

During this period, things in Ying Aoshan’s life and practice seemed usual. She found it hard to relate herself to the fact that she was near death.

‘Is this Huang Xiaolong just tricking Miss Aoshan?’

Mengqi considered for a moment, then sat down as well, “I don’t believe Miss Aoshan has any hidden ailments either.”

“Alright, since you both don’t believe it, I will prove it to you~~” Huang Xiaolong chuckled mischievously as he took out a charm from his canvas bag. Swinging his hand, the charm burned into ashes.

Huang Xiaolong sprinkled the ash into the paper cup and stirred it into the water.

Both Ying Aoshan and Mengqi watched with wide eyes, having no idea what Huang Xiaolong was up to.

“Drink it.” Huang Xiaolong seriously handed a paper cup to Ying Aoshan. “All of it, not leaving a drop.”

“Are you… Young Master Huang…are you…are you making fun of Aoshan?” A hint of indignation appeared on Ying Aoshan’s face.

Even Jin Mengqi felt some admiration for Huang Xiaolong—

You actually dare to make the direct descendant of the illustrious Ying Family drink a filthy cup of ash-filled water!

My God, this water, even the beggars on the street wouldn’t drink it, would they?

How disgusting!

“Huang Xiaolong, know your limits, don’t invite trouble.” Jin Mengqi admonished with a cold face.

“I think you’re the one who had better shut up. Otherwise, I’ll make you regret inviting me out today~~” Huang Xiaolong playfully looked at Jin Mengqi, with a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

Upon meeting Huang Xiaolong’s gaze, Jin Mengqi couldn’t help but shiver, feeling a chilling cold, unable to utter a word.

“Miss Ying Aoshan, you’re practically dead anyway, if you want to drink this cup of water, go ahead. If you don’t want to, I won’t force you… After all, when you’re dead, it’s none of my business~~” Huang Xiaolong said lazily with a smile.

Faced with Huang Xiaolong’s disdainful look, Ying Aoshan was so infuriated it almost choked her!

She’s seen as a princess, the moon in the sky, by others, but she keeps hitting a wall with Huang Xiaolong!

‘Does Young Master Huang dislike Aoshan?’

Ying Aoshan was utterly depressed.

Actually, as an underworld ghost official, a god in the world of mortals, Huang Xiaolong didn’t need to grovel to a woman.

None of the girls he had met before had Ying Aoshan’s arrogance. This innate disdain in Ying Aoshan merely made Huang Xiaolong dismissive.

“Fine. Aoshan will drink it.” Ying Aoshan decided to throw in the towel and unexpectedly exuded a helpless vibe. She shot Huang Xiaolong a resentful glance before picking up the dirty cup of water and gulping it down with her eyes closed.

Well, she indeed drank it all, as Huang Xiaolong had asked, without leaving a drop.

From the side, Jin Mengqi got the chills as she watched this, her entire body covered in goosebumps. There was no way she would drink such dirty water!

“Are you satisfied now, Young Master Huang?” Ying Aoshan now looked like a common girl who had been unfairly treated. “Aoshan finished the water, are you going to leave now, Young Master Huang?”

“Hehe, Miss Ying Aoshan, I saved your life, but you haven’t even thanked me, and even seem rather displeased with me… You’re not very fair, are you?” Huang Xiaolong smirked.

“Tsk~~ Just a cup of dirty water and you claim to have saved Miss Aoshan’s life~~~” Jin Mengqi couldn’t hold back and mumbled this under her breath.

Just then!

“I… I…” Ying Aoshan suddenly turned white as a sheet, her hand covering her mouth, she quickly stood up, wanting to throw up.

She considered herself a lady and wished to rush to the restroom to vomit, but the churning in her stomach was uncontrollable. With a ‘bleugh’, she finally spewed out a large pile of filth!

“Alright, now that you’ve thrown up, your life is saved.” Huang Xiaolong grinned. “Look what this is…”

Both Ying Aoshan and Jin Mengqi subconsciously looked at the pile of filth on the ground.

The sight of it terrified them so much they both let out a scream! They reacted as if they had seen the most terrifying, disgusting, evil thing in the world!
