The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine

Chapter 378: Chapter 378: Ghost Car
Huang Xiaolong’s words plunged Su Xiaoqiang into a panic, terror creeping onto his raspy face.

As Huang Xiaolong had pointed out, he had secretly returned to the Lychee District a few days before, strangely encountering a beautiful girl. The girl seemed to fancy him too, offering him a gold ring at their first meeting. She even slipped it onto his ring finger herself.

Su Xiaoqiang hadn’t shared about this with anyone, but now found himself shocked at Huang Xiaolong laying it all out in the open.

Huang Xiaolong looked at Su Xiaoqiang with a mischievous smirk, like an experienced hunter catching his prey. “This is what we call ‘Ghostly Peach Blossom’. That ring she gave you, it’s a wedding ring. Now that you’ve accepted her ring, you can never hope to escape her entanglement.”

“This… This can’t be! The girl is quite pretty! How could she be a ghost?” Su Xiaoqiang found it hard to accept the idea of the supernatural and tried to argue his way out of it. “You have no evidence! You have zero evidence!”

“Pfft~~~ You want evidence? That’s easy.” Huang Xiaolong scoffed as he pulled out a revealing charm from his canvas bag.

“Watch closely!” Huang Xiaolong flicked the charm and it ignited itself, casting a flash of golden light across the room.

Then…

The gold ring on Su Xiaoqiang’s finger changed completely!

The ring was now covered with filth and mud, decaying leaves, and imbued with a heavy foreboding aura. A corpse worm was twisting around the ring like a coiled dragon.

This was the true form of the gold ring!

Upon witnessing this, both Su Xiaoqiang and Su Xiaoman let out terrified screams.

Particularly Su Xiaoqiang, beads of sweat as large as soybeans rolled down his forehead and face. His breathing was ragged, and bloodshot streaks appeared in his eyes.

Su Xiaoman suddenly grabbed Huang Xiaolong’s arm and begged tearfully, “Little Long! You must help Xiao Qiang! Forgive his rudeness, you can hit him if you want, just please don’t abandon him!”

Huang Xiaolong gently patted Su Xiaoman’s hand, assuring her not to worry.

Then, Huang Xiaolong picked up his cup and calmly sipped his tea as he looked at Su Xiaoqiang. “I’ve told you before, you’re doomed. Since you accepted that female ghost’s wedding ring, there’s no way she’ll let you go. Do you think you’re invincible? Can you fight against a fierce ghost?”

“I don’t want to die!” Su Xiaoqiang cried out with a raspy voice. “I’m still young. I don’t want to die!”

“Whether you want to die or not depends on your behavior.” Huang Xiaolong narrowed his eyes.

Su Xiaoqiang was a shrewd person; at this point, he dared not underestimate Huang Xiaolong anymore. He stood up immediately, then fell to his knees before Huang Xiaolong. “Brother-in-law! Please save me! My dear brother-in-law, please help me!”

Well, Huang Xiaolong seemed rather pleased after being called ‘brother-in-law’ a few times.

“Hehe, you’ve finally admitted defeat?” Huang Xiaolong said nonchalantly.

“I admit defeat, brother-in-law! I feel relieved that my sister is with you.” Su Xiaoqiang’s words were sweet. “Brother-in-law, you’re family now! I only have you and my sister, so you absolutely must save me!”

“Alright, alright, stand up. Just behave from now on and don’t be too arrogant. This time, I’ll help you,” Huang Xiaolong said with a smile.

Only then did Su Xiaoqiang manage to stand up and sit down, trembling.

“You’ve only met that female ghost once, right?” Huang Xiaolong inquired.

“Yes, yes, Brother-in-law. Just once. I… I admit, I was blinded by lust. I saw her beauty, and… and… I approached her… I regret it!” Su Xiaoqiang wailed as he clasped his chest.

“Tell me in detail how you met the female ghost in the first place,” Huang Xiaolong casually asked.

“Oh… it was like this…” Su Xiaoqiang began to recount the whole incident. “That night, around 11:30 pm, I had gone out and was preparing to return to the Lychee District. I thought about taking a taxi, but then, strangely, I came across Bus 330. So, I got on. After a stop… this… this girl, ah, no, this ghost got on. It sat next to me. She was really pretty, with a nice figure and neat facial features, though her face was a little pale. I’d had a few drinks that night and couldn’t resist flirting with her.”

“After chatting for a bit, she asked me about my age and Chinese zodiac sign. I told her everything truthfully. Then she mentioned something about a rat with water element and an ox with earth element forming a harmonious pair, and declared it a perfect match. Then she took out this ring and asked me if I wanted to try it on.”

“I tried it, and it fit me perfectly! It was as if the gold ring had been custom-made for me. I was really happy back then.”

“Then she said, since I had worn it, she would give me the gold ring. After that, she got off the bus at the next stop. I wanted to take off the ring and return it to her… but she didn’t let me. When she got off the bus, she even turned back and smiled at me, promising… promising to come to see me…”

Su Xiaoqiang had originally considered this a romantic encounter. Recounting it now, though, knowing that the beautiful girl was a ghost, filled him with dread.

“Mmm… she indeed will come to you. You’re her husband now. As soon you’re together, within just a few days, she’ll suck out all your vitality and turn you into a mummy,” Huang Xiaolong said earnestly.

“Damn!” Su Xiaoqiang’s face turned ashen. He quickly went to remove the ring and cursed,”I’m throwing it out! Damn it! This unlucky thing, I’m going to toss it right away!”

“Don’t throw it… if you do, things will only get worse. She will think you’ve changed your heart, and you’ve abandoned her. Then she’ll kill you, and trust me, it will be brutal,” Huang Xiaolong warned with a smile.

“If I can’t throw it or keep it… Brother-in-law, what should I do?” Su Xiaoqiang began to sob heavily.

Meanwhile, Huang Xiaolong’s eyes lit up with excitement as he murmured, “There’s a new plaything again… Hehehe… My mundane life has been spiced up. Not bad, not bad at all.”

“Little Long, what are you mumbling about?” Su Xiaoman asked anxiously.

“Sister Xiaoman, don’t you find this whole thing strange?” Huang Xiaolong asked, his gaze playful. “Bus 330, its terminal station is Lychee District. You should know that, right?”

Su Xiaoman stammered for a moment, then nodded in agreement. “Little Long, I grew up in the Lychee District, so of course, I know. In fact, I often take Bus 330.”

“What time does the last bus of Route 330 departs?” Huang Xiaolong asked with a smile.

“8:15 pm,” both Su Xiaoman and Su Xiaoqiang answered simultaneously.

“What time did you catch the Bus 330 that night, Xiao Qiang?” Huang Xiaolong looked deeply at Su Xiaoqiang.

“It was… it was… at 11:30 pm…” Su Xiaoqiang finally realized it. “Brother-in-law, that does seem strange. By 11:30 pm, Bus 330 should’ve been off duty!”

“Exactly, you rode a ghost bus,” Huang Xiaolong took a sip of water. “That night, the driver, the passengers, odds are they were all ghosts. The fact that you’re still alive is a miracle.”

Su Xiaoman and Su Xiaoqiang gasped!
