Chapter 833: Chapter 833: Long Wu! Chapter 833: Chapter 833: Long Wu! Huang Xiaolong returned to the hotel with his beautiful wives.
He took a bath and went straight to bed.
He slept until the sun was three poles high the next day.
The wives took care of Huang Xiaolong and had lunch with him.
It was said that earlier in the morning, Zhao Bing had co to thank Huang Xiaolong and invited him to her concert, but Ma Chuxia had brushed her off.
“Little Long, now that we’ve got the second black dagger, do we continue to stay in Bao City?” Ma Chuxia smiled sweetly at Huang Xiaolong.
“Little Long, are we really not going to see Zhao Bing’s concert?” Sun Wei asked pitifully.
“I’m not interested,” Huang Xiaolong laughed. “Sister Bai Hu, if you want to watch it, then stay in Bao City for a few more days.”
“Forget it, watching a concert is only fun if you’re with soone you like. Since you don’t want to go, Little Long, I won’t go either,” Sun Wei shook her head.
“Hmm~~ I’ve decided to go back to Binhai,” Huang Xiaolong said.
In Huang Xiaolong’s mind, Binhai had always been his second hotown. After wandering outside for so long, he had to return ho eventually.
Besides, most of Huang Xiaolong’s wives, such as Lin Jing, Cui Feiyan, Song Yuru, Zhou Mi, Miao Erfang… and so on, were all in Binhai, eagerly looking forward to his return ho!
“Okay, let’s go back to Binhai!” Sun Wei agreed. “I miss ho too!”
Ma Chuxia imdiately booked tickets back to Binhai.
In the afternoon, Huang Xiaolong flew back to Binhai City with his beautiful wives. Feng Hanyan even “shalessly” followed Huang Xiaolong as if she were glued to him.
Before dinner, the plane landed at Binhai International Airport.
“Ah~~~~ I’m back!” Huang Xiaolong took a deep breath of the Binhai air, tinged with the salty scent of the sea, feeling content.
Basically, Huang Xiaolong had co to consider the Lin Family’s Wolong Villa as his “nest.”
At that mont, Huang Xiaolong told his beautiful wives to head to the villa first, as he planned to have a secret eting with his Sister Xiaoman.
Having not seen Su Xiaoman for a long ti, Huang Xiaolong missed her quite a bit. He had indeed neglected her these past few days and intended to make it up to her properly.
Thereupon, Huang Xiaolong and his beautiful wives went their separate ways.
He took a taxi alone to Huahu Street in the Lychee District, where Su Xiaoman mostly still lived. She couldn’t bear to leave, because it was there, on Huahu Street, that she had first t Huang Xiaolong, the most precious mory of her life.
Huang Xiaolong had called Su Xiaoman in advance. On the phone, knowing that Huang Xiaolong was coming to see her, Su Xiaoman was simply overwheld with joy to the point of tears.
As soon as Huang Xiaolong got out of the taxi, he saw Su Xiaoman standing at the street corner, eyes brimming with tears as she gazed at him, waiting for him, looking every inch the delicate flower with her gentle deanor.
Looking up, Huang Xiaolong saw Su Xiaoman dressed in a pink plum-colored cotton jacket and stone-washed white jeans. Her skin was as smooth and tender as jade, her eyes held the depth of still, turquoise waters. Red lips and beautiful cheeks, more charming than flowers, her slender fingers dipped in bright red, every smile and frown exuded elegance, captivating the soul. She truly had the aura of “Turning back with such a graceful smile that all the makeup of the six palaces fades in comparison.”
“Sister Xiaoman~~” Huang Xiaolong called out.
Unable to control her emotions, Su Xiaoman directly hurled herself at Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong embraced Su Xiaoman, affectionately stroking her jet-black hair. “Sister Xiaoman, I’ve missed you.”
“I’ve missed you too…” Su Xiaoman choked up.
“Sister Xiaoman, I’ve been doing so things these past days, things hard for ordinary people to imagine, so I didn’t take you with . You’re not mad at , are you?” Huang Xiaolong explained tentatively.
Su Xiaoman nodded incessantly. “Not mad, not mad at you, Xiaolong. As long as you still rember , I…I feel it’s all been worth it…”
At that mont, the two walked hand in hand down the street, chatting casually.
“Xiaolong, you must not have had dinner yet~~ I’ve made sothing delicious…giggle~~ Today you’re in for a treat, I’ll let you eat the most famous delicacy in Binhai recently!” Su Xiaoman laughed sweetly.
“Uh… the most famous delicacy in Binhai, isn’t that your smoked duck, Sister Xiaoman?” Huang Xiaolong laughed.
“No, no~~ Xiaolong, I’ve been making smoked duck for you so often, you must be tired of it. This ti… I’ll let you taste even better food!” Su Xiaoman chuckled. “Xiaolong, you’ve been away from Binhai for quite a while, you probably don’t know that there’s a top chef in town who opened a restaurant, and his dishes, in just one month, have taken the whole of Binhai by storm! Recognized by food lovers as the ultimate delicacy, people clamber for it!”
“What? Really, Sister Xiaoman, that good?” Huang Xiaolong was astonished. “The dishes made by that chef are even better than smoked duck?”
“It’s true,” Su Xiaoman squinted. “Xiaolong, although I haven’t been there myself, my cousin did, and she gave a very objective review… apparently, the dishes made by that chef are indeed better than our smoked duck. Xiaolong, don’t be upset by what I’m saying.”
The ‘cousin’ Su Xiaoman referred to was a distant relative who had co from a small town to work in the city of Binhai. Although pretty, she was a notch less so compared to Su Xiaoman, both in looks and figure. Later, she started helping out in Su Xiaoman’s smoked duck store and proved to be quite capable.
Su Xiaoman rambled on. “Xiaolong, the restaurant’s na is ‘Shuiyue Dongtian’. The owner and the chef is the sa person, and his culinary skills are exquisite. Furthermore, the dishes he makes can’t even be identified by seasoned foodies for what ingredients are used! And he has a very strange temper, too. He doesn’t serve walk-in custors; only those who receive his invitation are lucky enough to step into his restaurant and enjoy a feast. My cousin was really lucky a few days ago; she got his invitation…”
“I’m dizzy~~ no way? Is this just showing off?” Huang Xiaolong was incredulous.
“Co on, let’s go, Xiaolong. I have a pot of at soup simring at ho; my cousin is watching it for . Xiaolong, I tell you, this soup I’ve been stewing uses the secret base from ‘Shuiyue Dongtian’, which I stealthily brought ho! That’s why I said I would make you the most delicious food. You have no idea, Xiaolong, the more you stew that soup, the more flavorful it gets… I can hardly resist sneaking a taste myself~~ giggle~~~” Su Xiaoman, pulling on Huang Xiaolong’s arm, quickly headed ho.
“Sister Xiaoman, that at soup base, it must have been your cousin who sneaked it out, right?” Huang Xiaolong managed a wry smile.
Su Xiaoman nodded repeatedly.
Having earned quite a sum from selling smoked ducks, she had also purchased a second-hand four-bedroom, two-hall apartnt on Hualake Street.
Walking up to the front door.
Indeed, a strange, alluring fragrance was wafting through the cracks of the door.
Truly, it was too fragrant, inciting an indescribable urge and temptation to eat.
Unable to resist, Su Xiaoman showed an intoxicated look on her face and took a deep breath of the aroma before saying to Huang Xiaolong, “Little Long, sniff this, isn’t it fragrant?”
Suddenly, Huang Xiaolong’s eyes narrowed slightly and a wave of nausea surged through him as he said with a heavy voice, “Sister Xiaoman, the ingredients you used for the at soup, did you really sneak them out from that ‘Shuiyue Dongtian’ restaurant?”
“Yes, my cousin went to dine there last ti and, while unnoticed, she quietly brought it back… Uh, Little Long, don’t use the word ‘steal’, okay… Actually, they were going to throw out the used soup pot ingredients anyway~~” Su Xiaoman defended. “Little Long, what’s wrong?”
“Oh, nothing, Sister Xiaoman, please open the door,” Huang Xiaolong said calmly.
Su Xiaoman took out the anti-theft door key and unlocked the door.
Upon opening the door, that rich, exotic fragrance invaded the space like a swarm of colorful butterflies.
They saw a pretty girl dressed in a thin down jacket and a black silk miniskirt with her hair tied in a ponytail, standing elegantly, carefully holding a pot from the kitchen.
Steam rose from the pot and the aroma was rich, indicating that the at soup was ready.
This girl was Su Xiaoman’s distant cousin, and Huang Xiaolong had t her once before.
“Ah~~ Little Long, you’re back? Giggles~~ You’re really in for a treat this ti.” The cousin set the pot on the living room dining table with a smile at Huang Xiaolong.
“Hmm?” Huang Xiaolong scrutinized the cousin closely, his eyes twitching involuntarily.
“Hehe, Little Long, why are you staring at ? Aren’t you afraid my older cousin will get jealous?” The cousin giggled playfully, but a sinister and greedy look flickered in her eyes!
“By the way, older cousin, soone from ‘Shuiyue Dongtian’ brought you an invitation letter just now!” The cousin took out a red invitation from inside her jacket, “Older cousin, you’re in luck! I’m so jealous of you!”
“They sent an invitation?” Su Xiaoman was both surprised and delighted.
It seed like receiving an invitation from Shuiyue Dongtian was indeed a great fortune.
“Older cousin, you think I’m lying to you… Here, take the invitation and see for yourself!” Having said that, the cousin approached and handed the red invitation to Su Xiaoman.
Huang Xiaolong reached out and intercepted the invitation first. “Let see.”
“Ugh~~~” A flicker of murderous intent passed through the cousin’s eyes.
Huang Xiaolong opened the invitation, and suddenly, a strange aura assaulted him.
Huang Xiaolong’s heart stirred, as if his suspicions were confird. He focused on the words on the invitation, which read—
“Ms. Su Xiaoman is cordially invited to taste the delicacies at Shuiyue Dongtian tomorrow night at 8 pm.
Long Wu”
“Long Wu?” Huang Xiaolong murmured.
“Yes, Little Long, Long Wu, Mr. Long, is the owner and chef of Shuiyue Dongtian,” Su Xiaoman said with a smile. “Alright now, Little Long, the at soup is just freshly made, very tender. Let’s eat while it’s hot!”
Saying so, Su Xiaoman pulled Huang Xiaolong towards the dining table.
The three of them sat down.
Huang Xiaolong looked at the large pot of at soup and suddenly said, “Sister Xiaoman, we can’t eat this at soup.”
“Ah? Little Long, what… what is this?” Su Xiaoman was bewildered.
The cousin, however, bowed her head slightly, a glint of green appearing in her eyes as her teeth chattered ominously.
“Sister Xiaoman, do you know why this soup is so fragrant?” Huang Xiaolong asked teasingly, glancing at the cousin.
“Because… it’s made using the soup base from Shuiyue Dongtian, of course~~” Su Xiaoman replied.
“Hehe~~~” Huang Xiaolong suddenly laughed. “You’re right… but if I’m not mistaken, the reason why the soup base can produce such a fragrant at soup is because it’s made from human flesh! In other words… the at soup served to custors at Shuiyue Dongtian, is human flesh soup.”
At these words, Su Xiaoman was dumbfounded, went pale, and was so frightened that she was at a loss.
Huang Xiaolong sneered at the cousin. “Isn’t that right, cousin?”
“Giggles~~ Giggles~~~~” The cousin laughed eerily, “You have a really sharp nose, don’t you… Giggles~~ Giggles~~~”
“Cousin, the mont I ca in, I knew sothing was off about you. You must be a ghost, but what puzzled was, since you’re a ghost, why is your ghostly aura so faint, faint enough that no one but , not even other Taoists, would likely notice it…” Huang Xiaolong said, smiling. “I left Ying Kexin in Binhai to protect my wives, and normally, she should have sensed you approaching my Sister Xiaoman and eliminated you right away. But you managed to deceive her… well done, very well done… Now, since the real cousin of Sister Xiaoman is already dead, why don’t you, this painted skin ghost, reveal your true form!”
