Chapter 421: Chapter 421: You Only Have a Week to Live
Huang Xiaolong didn’t expect to run into Chen Zihuan at this event.
Well, it’s not surprising since the Chen Family, being a big family in Jiangnan City, would undoubtedly be invited by Old Master Jin.
The Chen Family is a big boss in Jiangnan City. If they don’t show up, it means they don’t give face to Old Master Jin!
This encounter with Chen Zihuan for Huang Xiaolong is nothing less than a meeting between archenemies.
Huang Xiaolong remembers clearly the event where Chen Zihuan hired assassins to kidnap him.
The two parties have already become enemies!
‘Hehehe~~Since your Chen Family covets my stuff… then I must make you pay some price. This time, one of the main reasons I came to Jiangnan City is because of you—the Chen Family!’
Huang Xiaolong looked at Chen Zihuan and Chen Xiong beside him with a playful gaze.
Huang Xiaolong also recognized at a glance that these two were father and son!
By this time, Chen Zihuan had quickly informed his father, Chen Xiong, about Huang Xiaolong’s background.
It was shocking!
The look in Chen Xiong’s eyes when he looked at Huang Xiaolong had changed!
It became as fierce as a jackal!
Filled with bloody plunder!
“Oh…so it’s him~~” Chen Xiong sneered, and led Chen Zihuan towards Huang Xiaolong.
Chen Xiong’s eyeballs kept rolling, obviously brewing some devious plan.
Ancient medicine that can turn a dwarf who has stopped growing into a tall goddess is no different from an Immortal Pill. Once the Chen Family obtains the formula for this medicine, they would definitely rise to the world stage from Asia.
In a few years, they could stand on top of the world!
Chen Xiong was ambitious and wasn’t content with just Jiangnan City. He saw the chance of rising to power right before his eyes and couldn’t let it slip through!
The Chen father and son approached Huang Xiaolong. On the surface, they wore smiles as if they were old friends reminiscing the past, but their words were sharp and imposing.
“So you’re Huang Xiaolong? Last time I sent someone to invite you…you didn’t honor the invitation,” Chen Xiong said to Huang Xiaolong with a smirk. “Our investigation shows that you’re from a rural area, yet you’re full of talent and have joined the upper circle in Binhai, and are favored by the four major families there. However…this is Jiangnan City! No matter how excellent you are, your base is just too weak! I’ve seen countless excellent people, full of passion, but in the end, they still ended up with a miserable defeat.”
“Are you Chen Zihuan’s father? And you’re threatening me face to face?” Huang Xiaolong chuckled with a calm expression that showed no hint of anger.
“Yes, I am threatening you.” Chen Xiong responded with a grave smile. “You killed the people I sent to Binhai to invite you…you’re really brave! You’ve already offended my Chen Family with this. But I’ll give you a chance now. Hand over the secret formula of the ancient medicine, and make peace with my Chen Family, and you’ll get some benefits. 20 million! 20 million for your ancient medicine formula!”
“Pfft~~~20 million? My ancient medicine formula is a priceless Immortal Pill. 20 million, are you treating me like a beggar?” Huang Xiaolong retorted with a playful smile.
“Shut your mouth! After coming to Jiangnan City, do you dare to rampage? You won’t even know how you died!” Chen Zihuan’s face darkened, and his eyelids twitched slightly. “Shu Qinglan and Shu Qinghan are the women I, Chen Zihuan, have taken a fancy to. You’d better stay away from them…Of course, if you don’t hand over the ancient medicine formula this time, you won’t be able to return to Binhai!”
“Little Long…what’s going on?” Sun Wei sensed something was amiss and quickly walked over.
“Oh? The Sun family…” Chen Zihuan had met Sun Wei before. Seeing that Sun Wei appeared to have a close relationship with Huang Xiaolong, the jealousy in his eyes grew even fiercer. He cursed Huang Xiaolong bitterly, as if he wished Huang Xiaolong were already dead!
“The Sun Family from Binhai? Oh…it doesn’t matter, this is Jiangnan City.” Chen Xiong gave a grave smile, clearly not valuing the Sun family at all.
“Young Master Huang, are you acquainted with the Chen father and son?” Miss Ying Aoshan calmly walked over. As a Grandmaster of martial arts, she had sharp ears and had overheard Chen Xiong and Chen Zihuan threatening Huang Xiaolong. She came over to subtly support Huang Xiaolong.
Chen Xiong and Chen Zihuan could treat the Sun Family like nothing, but they simply wouldn’t dare to disdain the giant Ying Family in the same manner.
“This…Miss…Miss Ying Aoshan…Do…do you know him?” Chen Xiong asked nervously. As a prominent figure in Jiangnan City, Chen Xiong had seen Ying Aoshan before, although they weren’t acquainted and he wasn’t in a position to have any dealings with the Ying Family.
“I admire Young Master Huang’s talent very much.” Ying Aoshan made her stance clear.
“This~~~~~~” Suddenly, the faces of Chen Xiong and Chen Zihuan turned extremely ugly.
They thought that Huang Xiaolong was able to attend Old Master Jin’s centenary longevity banquet today, mostly due to the Sun family’s connections, but they never expected that Ying Aoshan had a good relationship with Huang Xiaolong as well.
“Oh, it’s nothing. Miss Ying Aoshan, my son once visited Binhai, where he met Huang Xiaolong… Young Master Huang at a banquet…” Chen Xiong’s eyes flickered a few times, then he spoke respectfully.
“Young Master Huang, let’s go over there. The birthday star is about to make his entrance.” Ying Aoshan smiled.
“Oh, alright.” Huang Xiaolong grinned innocently. However, just as he was about to leave, he scrutinized Chen Zihuan carefully. “Young Chen, you’ve developed a lethal disease! You only have one week left to live!”
“Damn it, what are you blabbering about?” Chen Zihuan flared up in anger.
Chen Xiong’s face turned icy cold as well. “Young Master Huang, one shouldn’t stoop so low. It’s utterly impolite of you to jinx my son this way.”
Chen Zihuan was the apple of Chen Xiong’s eye, so naturally, he wouldn’t tolerate Huang Xiaolong’s public curse. If it weren’t for Ying Aoshan’s presence, Chen Xiong would’ve lost his temper by now.
A lethal disease? Chen Zihuan had an annual medical examination. He had just had one last month, and not only was he free from terminal illnesses, he didn’t even have minor ailments. The doctor even praised Chen Zihuan’s health, saying that his vitality was stronger than that of most people.
“Really, believe me. Young Chen, you’re doomed to only live for about a week. Alas… it’s such a pity that you’re going to die at such a young age.” Huang Xiaolong sighed melancholically. “Plus, this gentleman… must be Young Chen’s father, right? It’s such a tragedy for white hair to send off black hair in this human world.”
After speaking, Huang Xiaolong lightly blew a breath of air.
Whoosh~~
This breath of air directly hit Chen Zihuan’s neck.
Suddenly, Chen Zihuan felt a sudden itch on his neck, and his body seemed a bit sour, but the feeling disappeared soon. Chen Zihuan didn’t pay it any mind.
Even Ying Aoshan, a martial arts grandmaster who was standing next to Huang Xiaolong, didn’t notice anything unusual.
“Alright, Miss Ying Aoshan, let’s go over there~~ It’s awful to stick around too long with Young Chen, who’s on the brink of death. It’s easy to catch bad luck.” Huang Xiaolong followed Ying Aoshan with a jolly smile, and Sun Wei closely trailed behind them.
“Bastard!” Chen Zihuan glared furiously at Huang Xiaolong’s retreating figure. “I can’t believe this bastard has also cozied up to Miss Ying Aoshan!”
“No problem…” Chen Xiong’s pupils shrunk. “The Ying family is indeed formidable and absolutely not to be offended. However, we have our own backers! Humph! Huang Xiaolong, you bastard, who enjoys taking advantage of others’ power! Zihuan, let’s ask Master Qiao for help!”
“Yes, yes, yes, once Master Qiao steps in, won’t this little bastard obediently hand over the ancient medicine recipe? Hahaha~~~” Chen Zihuan laughed loudly. Immediately after, he licked his lips while eyeing Sun Wei’s perfect figure. “Dad, could you ask Master Qiao to enchant Sun Wei for me? Her appearance and figure are impeccable, and I… I want to enjoy her company for a few days…”
“You naughty boy!” Chen Xiong spoiled his son with a laugh. “Alright, let’s ask Master Qiao to charm Sun Wei and send her to your bed for you to enjoy.”
…
“Young Master Huang, does the son of Chen family, Chen Zihuan, truly have a lethal disease?” Ying Aoshan curiously asked.
“Yes. Absolutely true.” Huang Xiaolong affirmed seriously. “He can only live for a week at most. Believe me, he’s about to die, and even the gods cannot save his life.”
In fact, the breath of air that Huang Xiaolong blew at Chen Zihuan had already messed with his body!
Chen Zihuan had no illness before this, and had a healthier body than anyone else, but Huang Xiaolong’s breath gave him a ‘lethal disease’.
Right at this moment–
Crackling~~ Crackling~~~
The sound of firecrackers set off a festive atmosphere.
Following that, a member of the Jin Family merrily carried over a Taishi chair, and announced loudly. “Let’s welcome our birthday star of the day!”
The centenarian, Old Master Jin, made his grand appearance!
