The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine - Chapter 597

Chapter 597: Chapter 597: The 200-Year Curse!
 

Huang Xiaolong couldn’t help but want to laugh.

Xia Chuchu? This playgirl has already been inextricably dealt with by Ying Qingfeng. It seems that Xia Ying still doesn’t know about this.

Huang Xiaolong doesn’t plan to tell her, so he just laughs and says, “I don’t know her, I’ve never seen her.”

“Really?” A puzzled expression crosses Xia Ying’s face. She mutters, “Chuchu clearly came all the way here to attend the Ying Family meeting. She’s Ying Aotian’s fiancée…”

Huang Xiaolong doesn’t want to engage with Xia Ying on this trivial matter, so he eases the conversation along with, “You know Xia Jian, right?”

“Ah?!” Xia Ying was taken aback. “Little Long… you… you’ve met my dad?”

Xia Jian, the world’s second-ranking gambler, also known as “Fox Demon with Thousand Hands,” is the bodyguard of Miss Ji, Ji Yianxue. Huang Xiaolong had some interaction with Xia Jian when he was helping Ji Yianxue find her mother, and there was also a girl named Ouyang Lingling. In those experiences, both Xia Jian and Ouyang Lingling were won over by Huang Xiaolong and saw him as a god-like figure.

“Yes, I’ve met your dad. We hit it off, having a kindred spirit. Once, when we were drinking, your dad said that he has a daughter who is pretty decent, he was willing for her to marry me as my second wife…” Huang Xiaolong says lazily.

Upon hearing this, Xia Ying blushes, her beauty showing as she spits out, “Cut it out~~ you’re making that up.”

Even so, Xia Ying feels a trace of inexplicable sweetness in her heart.

The atmosphere becomes somewhat ambiguous, somewhat awkward.

Despite being a sexy and tall miss, Xia Ying is a true maiden who hasn’t had a boyfriend yet. She can’t stand this kind of ambiguity and changes the subject, “Little Long, actually the reason I came to the Qin Mountain Range was to accompany a good friend to relax her mind, she is…”

At this point, Xia Ying paused, her face showing worry. “My friend, she’s been having trouble recently…”

Suddenly!

Xia Ying’s eyes lit up. “That’s right! Little Long, you demonstrated your power last time and saved me from the Cat-faced Old Lady, you’re skilled in expelling spirits and exorcising ghosts. You can certainly help my friend!”

Xia Ying’s face shines brightly, like a chronically ill patient who has found a world-renowned doctor. “Little Long! You must lend my friend a hand! She’s very kind-hearted! Please!”

“Huh? What’s going on?” Huang Xiaolong asks, astonished.

“Little Long, it seems that my friend’s family is cursed. Not one person in the family lives past the age of 35!” Xia Ying’s face showed a look of trepidation. “This curse… it’s been in effect for over 200 years. And it’s been… very effective…”

On hearing this, Huang Xiaolong became intrigued—

A curse? A curse that has lasted over 200 years?

Not a single person in the family lives past 35?

Interesting.

Very interesting.

Just then, light footsteps sounded from inside the cabin, followed by a pleasant girly voice. “Sister Ying, who are you talking to?”

As soon as the voice fell, a beautiful girl walked out of the cabin.

She had a gentle smile on her face, and had exceptionally attractive features. Her eyes were sparkling, and her delicate and fair skin was glowing. She was wearing a beige short-sleeved knit T-shirt, with three buttons on the V-neck. The top button was undone, revealing her exquisite collarbone. She wore light brown suit pants, which accentuated her long and slender legs.

In terms of age, she seemed to be a few years younger than Xia Ying, around 22 or 23. She was also a very beautiful girl, each one excelling in their own way.

At first glance, she seemed to be a well-bred young lady who had never been exposed to household chores, and did not seem to have any traces of martial arts training.

Huang Xiaolong even noticed a black streak at her life palace. It was a “death streak”, if estimated by its depth, she would face a disaster in about ten years. If she could survive it, she would live; if not, she would die.

‘Really? She can’t live past 35… This curse is pretty powerful…’ In his heart, Huang Xiaolong’s interest increased a bit.

“Sister Ying… who… who is this?” The girl looked at Huang Xiaolong curiously, her expression friendly.

Xia Ying quickly introduced her. “Xiao Yu, this is Little Long, a very, very remarkable person… I admire him a lot.”

“Ah? Sister Ying, you’re such a remarkable woman, you also admire others?” The girl was surprised.

It seemed that in her eyes, Xia Ying was a formidable heroine who could stand shoulder to shoulder with any man. She couldn’t imagine there would be someone that even Xia Ying admired so much.

“Hello. My name is Shui Yu, nice to meet you.” The girl named “Shui Yu” was very curious about Huang Xiaolong.

“Little Long, the Shui Family is a wealthy and reputable family throughout the whole of Shaanxi Province, but Xiao Yu is not that type of spoiled rich kid, she’s very capable.” Xia Ying smiled.

At this moment, a burning smell floated out of the wooden cabin.

“Oh no! The food’s got burnt!” Xia Ying and Shui Yu exclaimed in unison, then turned and ran into the cabin.

Inside the cabin.

Sunlight seeped in through the wooden window.

The three of them sat at a table near the window, eating slightly burnt rice, along with some wild vegetables and game in this deep forest, possessing a unique flavor.

“Little Long… regarding Xiao Yu’s family… that curse… I wonder if you have a solution.” A hopeful Xia Ying asked.

“Sister Ying, did you tell Little Long about that thing?” Shui Yu said in a low voice, her eyebrows immediately filled with worry and fear.

“Xiao Yu, speak directly to Little Long. Don’t be afraid, don’t worry, Little Long is very powerful, he’s exceptional, I think, he can certainly help you. To put it brutally, if even Little Long doesn’t have a solution… then… then… perhaps no one in the world can break your family’s curse.” Xia Ying said, full of confidence in Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong also put down his bowl, interested and asked, “So, what exactly is this curse about?”

“Um~~” Shui Yu collected her thoughts and said, “Little Long, it’s like this, in our Shui family, anyone with the surname ‘Shui’ can’t live past 35. I… I’ve seen a few of my brothers… their terrible state before death. After their 34th birthday, they would start getting sores all over their body, their skin swelling up, their bodies breaking down and discharging pus, they would be in agonizing pain for a whole year, and then… then on the day of their 35th birthday, die a horrible death… We’ve sought doctors, but found no cure… We’ve also invited Taoist priests and masters to exorcise the curse… but… but nothing could release the curse…”

At this point, Shui Yu broke into tears, heartbroken and terrified. “I’m only 23… I… I can only live for another ten plus years… I’m… I’m…”

“Xiao Yu, don’t say idiotic things!” Xia Ying couldn’t bear to hear this.

Then, Xia Ying turned her hopeful eyes toward Huang Xiaolong. “Little Long, do you have a way to resolve this malicious curse?”

Huang Xiaolong thought for a few seconds, then smiled at Shui Yu. “Take off your clothes, I need to see your back.”
