The revealing charm burned instantly and a golden light shone blindingly from the inside of the car. Right after that… the lady ghost in white could be seen!

Her face was pale from lack of blood running in her veins. Most of her skin has festered badly and oozing out pus. Her eyeballs hung outside of her eye sockets with countless larvae wriggling out of her straw-like mess of a hair…

Her tongue! Her tongue hung out by over a meter long!

It was a horrendous sight!

At that moment, Buzzcut could see the lady ghost as clear as day!

“Hehehe…Hello…I’ve been following you for quite some time…” The female ghost in white smiled at Buzzcut. Her voice was husky and hoarse and could make anyone’s skin crawl.

That smile of hers was strange and terrifying. It was not a smile that a human could make with their face. In fact, only a ghost could smile like that.

“Ah!!!!”

Buzzcut let out a sharp scream. In the blink of an eye, his face turned as white as a sheet.

Every hair on his body stood up. His scalp was numb and cold.

It was as if he was being squeezed dry and there was no more strength left in his whole body.

He was completely paralyzed.

Not only was he paralyzed, but his sweat and tears came out all at once. In fact, he might have peed his pants because his crotch was f*cking stained with pee!

“It’s okay, Brother Driver. Don’t be scared, I’m here. Lady In White, you’re scaring him out of his wits.” Huang Xiaolong had a harmless smile on his face. He even went to the extent of grabbing her shoulder as if they knew each other.

“You…you…you’re a daoshi1? Does it mean when you got in the car, you already… could see me?” The female ghost in white was obviously afraid of Huang Xiaolong. It wanted to escape, but after Huang Xiaolong grabbed her shoulders, it was like a snake being grabbed by its head. She was unable to move.

“Daoshi? Even though I’m trained in Daoism, I’m not a daoshi.” Huang Xiaolong said casually and turned to talk to Buzzcut. “Brother Driver, let’s talk about business now. You give me 3700 yuan and I’ll sort this out for you. Of course, you can also choose not to accept. To tell you the truth, this Lady In White has already remembered your smell by now. So in the future, this Lady In White will follow you wherever you go. Think about it. Whenever you’re asleep, she’ll be looking at you and even accompany you in your dreams; When you walk at night, she’ll count the stars beside you; When you have sex with your wife, she’ll even be cheering you on by your bedside… Isn’t it sweet? Oh, and you won’t need air conditioning anymore because she will always have her Yin qi to help you stay cool anytime, anywhere…”

“Lady In White, am I right?” Huang Xiaolong smiled.

“Yup, you’re right! I’ve kept my eyes on him.” The female ghost in white played along with him.

“No! No! Don’t follow me!” Buzzcut shivered like a leaf and his voice broke when he spoke. “Bro, I know what I did was wrong now. I’m just a fool that doesn’t know anything. Please… you’re…you’re the only one who can save me now. I was wrong and now I’m begging you… Please help me… Spare me, please. I’ll be your slave and do anything for you from here on out. Actually, I’m not a bad person. I just… did this illegal taxi and blackmail thing only a few times. I’ll never dare to do it in the future anymore…”

“Bro, it’s not that big of a deal. You don’t have to be my slave or anything. I could never accept slavery for such a small thing. I told you, it’s just 3700 bucks.” Huang Xiaolong reached out for the payment. “Just tell me whether you want to pay me or not.”

“I will! I will!” Buzzcut trembled as he opened his sun visor that had a stack of crumpled banknotes in it, and pulled out a handful of money under his seat.

‘Despite everything, this guy hides his money in really weird places.’

Buzzcut handed the banknotes to Huang Xiaolong with both of his hands.

Huang Xiaolong did not rush and took it calmly.

There were all types of denominations of banknotes that ranged from ones, hundreds, fifties, tens, twenties, and even a piece of fifty cents.

“Brother Driver, I counted the total but it isn’t enough. There’s only one thousand three hundred and fifty-two bucks and seventy cents.” Huang Xiaolong looked at Buzzcut helplessly. “Bro, it’s quite far from the agreed amount.”

“Hold on, bro. I… I’ll look around…” Buzzcut turned the car inside out and finally found two hundred something bucks. He handed it to Huang Xiaolong. “Bro, that’s all I have…”

“That’s barely the agreed sum… I never ignore a single cent when I’m doing business. This is just my philosophy as a man…” Huang Xiaolong looked at Buzzcut awkwardly.

Buzzcut cried out loud. “Wahhh! Bro, that’s really all I have. How about I give his car to you?”

Buzzcut was never going to drive it after that incident anyway, nor was he going to go anywhere near it ever again.

That’s too f*cking bad!

That f*cking car was a haunted car, after all! It was a hot potato that nobody would touch!

“Alright.” Huang Xiaolong grinned. “Since this car attracts ghosts easily, I’ll take it.”

When Buzzcut heard what Huang Xiaolong said, he exhaled with relief. “Very well then, bro… I’m going to head out first. I’ll leave the rest for you to deal with, is that okay?”

“Alright! You can leave first, bro. Just remember to not do bad things, or else ghosts might come back to haunt you,” Huang Xiaolong said earnestly.

“No, I won’t. I’ll absolutely never ever do these things anymore. If I did them, I might just be a son of a…” Buzzcut got out of the car in a hurry and ran for his life.

“Wow! I made a lot for my first business deal! That’s a good start!” Huang Xiaolong stared at the handful of banknotes in his hand with his gleaming eyes. “More than a thousand bucks! Hahahaha!”

A thousand something bucks was a huge sum of money to Huang Xiaolong, being from the countryside and all. 

Not only that, but the main point was that Huang Xiaolong also earned himself a car!

“I’m a car owner now!” Huang Xiaolong smiled from ear to ear. “As the saying goes, the city folk has tricks up its sleeves, but we village folk have more. We have tricks as wide as the sea!”

“Bro…are…are you going to settle my thing…” the female ghost in white asked weakly.

Huang Xiaolong had an air that made the ghost extremely afraid of him.

“Yeah.” Huang Xiaolong kept the money neatly in his clothes. “Lady In White, why didn’t you report to the netherworld properly and stayed in this world? Did you know that it’s wrong for you to do this? If you met a monk or daoshi, you would’ve been beaten up and you may never be able to reincarnate.”

“I…I missed the time to report to the netherworld…I didn’t mean it…Bro, I’ve never harmed anyone.” The female ghost in white quickly defended herself.

“Yeah, I know you haven’t harmed anyone. Even though you killed yourself from hanging yourself, you didn’t die unjustly. You wanted to die so you killed yourself, right?” Huang Xiaolong smiled. “How about this, I’ll give you two choices. The first choice is me using an exterminating charm to destroy your spirit and the second choice is me giving you one more chance to report to the netherworld.”

“I choose the second one!” The female ghost in white blurted out without thinking about it. However, she paused. “Wait a minute, I’ve already missed out on my chance and the gate to the netherworld is no longer open for me.”

“That’s easy.” Huang Xiaolong said indifferently. “Come on, get out of the car with me.”

Huang Xiaolong got out of the car with the female ghost in white.

During that time, it was almost dusk and the female ghost in white had an umbrella, so the sun was not a big deal to her.

“Bro, are you teasing me? We’re in the age of the Latter Day of the Law. Our gods are gone. How… how do you plan to send me into the netherworld?” The female ghost in white looked horrified. “Are you going to exterminate my soul?”

At that time, Huang Xiaolong looked more serious as he said in a low voice, “I unseal thee!”

Boom!

Suddenly, a strange aura appeared around Huang Xiaolong’s body. His hair flew up even without the help of the wind, the surrounding forests rustled as the leaves on the trees fluttered! It was as if thousands of devils were clapping their hands!

Humans and ghosts saw things completely differently. If there were humans present, there would be no change in Huang Xiaolong’s appearance.

However, any ghost could see that Huang Xiaolong had changed forms!

When the female ghost in white saw Huang Xiaolong with a battle helmet on top of his head, a full set of lead armor, a waist strap, leather boots, and a black cloak while he shot up into the heavens. On his cloak, there were rivers of inferno magma trundling.

“Ah! The almighty ghost conjurer! You… You’re… the… almighty… ghost conjurer!”

The female ghost in white screamed in horror and just like a mouse that saw a cat, she knelt down, shivering.

Huang Xiaolong looked a little stern as he said in a low voice, “Let the doors of the netherworld that no humans enter, open!”

Right above them, there was a void with black air currents rolling like boiling water and a towering black city appeared. There was a big sign hanging on the gate of the city with big gold characters that read The Imprisoned Hellish Gates of the Netherworld.

Squeak!

The gate slowly opened and a gust of wind swept out that was mixed with the screams of thousands of ghosts.

The road was darker than coal that extended into the abyss. The road stretched out from inside the gates all the way to the feet of the female ghost in white.

Huang Xiaolong took out a piece of talisman paper and threw it to the female ghost in white. “This is the way to the netherworld. Take this travel permit and report to the netherworld. Since you have not harmed anyone, I’ve reopened the gates of the netherworld for you. Go now.”

The female ghost in white took the travel permit, got up, and set foot to the way to the netherworld. However, she turned back very quickly to face Huang Xiaolong. She kneeled before him and bowed three times. “Thank you, almighty ghost conjurer. Thank you, almighty ghost conjurer!”
