The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine - Chapter 377

Chapter 377: Chapter 377: You’re Going to Die! (5th update)
The Gao Family’s matters have been taken care of. Having drawn the “Soul Chase Charm” on Yan Pianpian, she couldn’t run off even if she tried to fly to the heaven.

Upon resolving that, Huang Xiaolong turned around to leave, departing straight from the Gao Family’s villa district.

Yan Pianpian watched as Huang Xiaolong’s figure disappeared in the distance. Her mind filled with an array of emotions, she muttered to herself, “Xuanyuan Ba is like the Crown Prince in the ancient martial arts world, a true talent of his generation. But this Huang Xiaolong… is even more terrifying, like a demon… Could it be that these two are destined for a fierce battle? Forget it… I hope that Huang Xiaolong’s claim of wanting to take me as his maid was just a joke he made on a whim…”

Deep down, Yan Pianpian didn’t want to see a clash between Huang Xiaolong and Xuanyuan Ba, two top figures of their generation.

…

After leaving the Gao Family’s ancestral home, Huang Xiaolong drove to the place where he and Su Xiaoman had agreed to meet.

It was a restaurant, and Su Xiaoman had already secured a private room to wait for Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong first met with his brother-in-law, and then the three of them sat down for dinner together.

In an elegant private room–

Su Xiaoman, wearing light makeup, her hair cascading like a waterfall, donned a simple and elegant dress. Her oval face, almond-shaped eyes, and mature and dignified demeanour, were enough to make even the most frivolous people tread carefully around her.

Beside Su Xiaoman was a young man who was a bit younger than Huang Xiaolong. He had handsome features, but there was a mischievous air about him. He was puffing on a cigarette and had an impatient look on his face. “Sister, who’s this person you’re making me meet right after I get home… Who is he? A man?”

Su Xiaoman blushed slightly, nodding her head. “Yes… He’s a man…”

“I knew it!” The young man slammed his hand on the table. “Sis, you have a boyfriend! No wonder you even put on makeup today. You never used to. Must be because you’re meeting your boyfriend! But sis, as your little brother, I have to check this guy out for you. You’re too pretty, you have to be careful of shameless men who might cheat your feelings! Don’t worry sis, if this guy turns out to be unreliable, I will beat him up today!”

“Xiao Qiang! Shut up!” Su Xiaoman was starting to get angry, “You troublemaker! Last time after you lost money at Brother Hu’s gambling den and took out a high-interest loan, it was… it was him who paid back your debt… Also, that smoked duck restaurant, and the secret recipe, were gifts from him… If… if you don’t show him respect, I… I will disown you!”

“Oh, I see. A rich young master, huh?” said Xiao Qiang with a disdainful face. “So he’s trying to woo you by throwing money around. I appreciate him for paying off my gambling debt, but that doesn’t mean I have to call him brother-in-law…”

Just then, a laid-back voice came from outside the room. “What do I have to do for you to call me brother-in-law, huh?”

The door to the private room opened, and in strolled Huang Xiaolong.

“Little Long!” Seeing Huang Xiaolong, Su Xiaoman jumped up with joy. She quickly pulled out a chair for him. “Little Long, come sit down. This is my brother, Xiao Qiang.”

Huang Xiaolong took a glance at Xiao Qiang, and leisurely sat down.

“Xiao Qiang, this is…” Su Xiaoman was a bit hesitant to finish her introduction.

It wouldn’t be appropriate for her to let her little brother call Huang Xiaolong “Little Long”.

Certainly, calling him “Brother Long” would feel too formal.

And introducing him as “brother-in-law” made Su Xiaoman blush.

In reality, she hoped the most for her brother to address Huang Xiaolong as “brother-in-law”.

Huang Xiaolong spoke up. “Just call me brother-in-law.”

“Hahahahaha~~~~~” Upon hearing this, Xiao Qiang burst out laughing. He gave Huang Xiaolong a teasing look. “Why should I call you brother-in-law? Just because you flashed some money doesn’t mean you’ve won my sister over… Today, you’ll have to pass my test, you know?”

Upon seeing Huang Xiaolong, Su Xiaoqiang couldn’t help but think that this guy wasn’t much older than himself, nor was he some kind of imposing figure capable of commanding respect. He didn’t seem to carry any sort of aura either. So, Su Xiaoqiang’s first impression of Huang Xiaolong was quite dismissive.

Plus, he and Su Xiaoman had depended on each other to survive as they grew up, so he loved his sister dearly. He sincerely didn’t want his precious sister to be with an unreliable boyfriend.

He also felt a bit jealous. If his sister got a brother-in-law, he feared the attention she gave him would diminish – it wouldn’t be the same as before.

So, from their very first meeting, Su Xiaoqiang resisted Huang Xiaolong intensely. He was afraid Huang Xiaolong would steal away his sister.

“Xiaoqiang! You’re being too reckless. You’re disappointing me a lot!” Su Xiaoman was both anxious and angry. “Xiaolong and I are not together because of money… You don’t understand… I introduced you to Xiaolong today so that you could learn something valuable from him. What’s your plan if you keep fooling around all day?”

“Sister! Learn from him? What skills does he have? Look at him… I think I’m even better than him,” Su Xiaoqiang replied sarcastically.

In Su Xiaoman’s heart, Huang Xiaolong was her beloved, her Mr. Right, whom she couldn’t bear to be disparaged or insulted – not even by her own brother!

Outraged, Su Xiaoman lifted her palm, ready to give Su Xiaoqiang a harsh slap!

Suddenly, Huang Xiaolong grabbed Su Xiaoman’s hand. Then, amusement danced in his eyes as he looked at Su Xiaoqiang. “So, you refuse to call me brother-in-law. Seems like you clearly don’t respect me.”

“Heh, that’s right. I don’t respect you,” Su Xiaoqiang didn’t mince words. “What have you got that’s worth respecting? Ah… If you manage to earn my respect, I might even call you brother-in-law, who knows?”

“Hmm…” Huang Xiaolong gently released Su Xiaoman’s hand, gesturing for her to calm down.

“You are about to die,” Huang Xiaolong joked with Su Xiaoqiang, but his tone was quite serious. “Such a pity. To die so young… If you called me brother-in-law out of respect for Sister Xiaoman, I would feel obligated to help you. Since you refuse to do that, I guess I’ll just have to watch you kick the bucket.”

“Damn! Are you cursing me?” Su Xiaoqiang was furious.

Su Xiaoman was utterly shocked, “Xiaolong, is… is it true what you’re saying? Is Xiaoqiang… Is he sick?”

As she spoke, her eyes filled with tears.

She had no other relatives; Xiaoqiang was her only brother. Even though he could be undisciplined, he was still her flesh and blood!

Su Xiaoman knew of Huang Xiaolong’s capabilities. If Huang Xiaolong wasn’t joking, then Su Xiaoqiang was truly in danger!

“There is a mole in your Illness Palace, dulling its original glow. This suggests you’re destined to meet with a disaster that you can’t avoid,” Huang Xiaolong looked at Su Xiaoqiang, speaking in a calm and composed manner.

“Pfftt~~~~ Ahahaha~~ Sister! Turns out this guy is a fortune-teller! Hahaha! I’m dying of laughter!” Su Xiaoqiang burst out laughing.

“Hehehe~~~ The corner of your eye indicates that you may experience a romantic encounter soon. However… this omen of romance is intermixed with ghost energy…” Huang Xiaolong suddenly laughed with interest. “Have you recently met a girl?”

Speaking, Huang Xiaolong looked at Su Xiaoqiang’s left hand. On his left ring finger, he wore an antique-looking golden ring. “That girl also gave you a gold ring, didn’t she?”

At his words, Su Xiaoqiang’s laughter halted, and he stared at Huang Xiaolong in a daze. “How… how do you know?”

“Xiaolong, what’s going on?” A worried Su Xiaoman asked.

“Sister Xiaoman, it seems your brother has caught the eye of a female ghost. She put a gold ring on his left ring finger, indicating her intention to marry him,” Huang Xiaolong said cheerfully.
