Huang Xiaolong was puzzled. He thought to himself, âWho did I just provoke? Why do they keep asking me to get the h*ll out and to get lost? The people in the city are so mean.â
The boss lady was afraid that Huang Xiaolong would get hurt, she said immediately, âBrother Earthworm, um⊠My brother promised me that heâll quit gambling. I didnât think that he would sneak out and gamble. I also didnât think that he would take a high-interest loan from Brother Tiger. I really had no idea about all of theseâŠâ
Gambling? Debt?
Huang Xiaolong finally understood. It seemed like this beautiful boss ladyâs brother is a gambling addict. It also seemed like he was always losing so that was why she had Phra Phrom on the bar to make sure that his brother did not lose money.
However, from the looks of it, it seemed like Phra Phrom did not work. Not only was her brother losing money, but he also owed a lot of high-interest debt. Now, the loan shark was at their door.
âHehe.â The wretched man, Brother Earthworm chuckled coldly. His eyes looked like the eyes of a hungry wolf. They were wandering over the boss ladyâs curvy body. It looked like he wanted to strip the boss lady and then have his way with her.
âXiaoman, youâre wrong. Itâs only right and proper to pay up your debt. As the ancient saying goes, a dutiful son is obliged to pay his fatherâs debts. That rascal Xiaoqiang is an orphan and he only has you as his sister. If you wonât pay his debts, who will?â Brother Earthworm stared at the boss lady and swallowed. âXiaoman, donât say that Iâm not taking care of you. Iâll give you two options now. One, pay back all the money your brother borrowed from Brother Tiger with interest. Two, if you really donât want to pay, give us your brother. Brother Tiger will take care of him himself. After that, youâll just get his corpse back afterward.â
After she heard this, the boss lady shuddered and shook her head. âBrother Earthworm, I donât know where my brother is. Heâs been gone for a few days. P-Please donât make things difficult for him.â When she said this, there was a hint of caution and pain in her clear eyes. She gritted her teeth. âBrother Earthworm, how much did Xiaoqiang borrow again?â
âHehehe.â Brother Earthworm smirked. âNot much. With interest, itâs only 580 thousand bucks. However, if you donât pay today, itâll be 600 thousand. Xiaoman, pay up. If you do, everything will be fine and dandy. All will be well with the world. Youâll be okay, and Iâll be okay.â
â580 thousandâŠâ The boss ladyâs cute face turned white instantly. Her attractive body began to tremble. It was as if her spine has stopped working. She used the bar as support so she did not collapse.
âThe people in the city are so good at making money. Today is 580 thousand, tomorrow is 600 thousand. My gosh, this is more than what I make from catching ghosts.â Huang Xiaolong calculated with his fingers and mumbled.
âBrother Earthworm, I-I really donât have that much money. I sold the house our parents left us to pay for Xiaoqiang last time.â The boss lady started crying.
âSigh.â There was a devious expression brewing on Brother Earthwormâs face. He sighed and said earnestly, âXiaoman, it hasnât been easy for you these few years. Your parents passed away early and you raised Xiaoqiang all on your own. That animal, Xiaoqiang, is not a good cookie. He doesnât want to do anything decent and wants to be a gangster. He even got involved in gambling. How much money had you paid for him? You even sold your house. Your home is gone now. Look at you, youâre so beautiful but no man dares to want you. Right, who would want to get involved with this kind of trouble?â
Brother Earthworm paused and smirked. âXiaoman, why donât we do it this way. You donât have to pay the debt. You should just follow us. Please Brother Tiger properly, please me and please the gang. Youâll be able to clear Xiaoqiangâs debt in a blink of an eye.â
His true self was finally showing.
âIs this the legendary repaying monetary debts with oneâs body? My gosh, the people in the city are so devious. Theyâre so underhanded,â Huang Xiaolong mumbled.
âNo! I donât want to!â The boss ladyâs face was really pale. She looked at Brother Earthworm and then at the others Brother Earthworm brought along. There were disgust and nausea in her eyes. âBrother Earthworm, p-please let me go. J-Just give me a few more days. Iâll sell this shop and then work somewhere else. Iâll pay you back even if I die from exhaustion.â
âXiaoman, donât disrespect me when I want to respect you!â Brother Earthwormâs expression became hard and there was malice in his eyes. He said coldly, âA woman like you would become a sl*t and let men have their way with you sooner or later. Why are you still trying to be modest? This is all I have to say today. If you canât pay, then you should come with me. Youâre still a virgin, right? If you let Brother Tiger take your virginity tonight, it might be worth some moneyâŠâ
Those words upset the boss lady. She started weeping and bit her bottom lip. There was blood seeping out from where she was biting. There was misery and despair in her heart. âWhy is my life so miserable? Am I destined to sleep with disgusting men?â
âCough cough.â At this moment, Huang Xiaolong coughed a few times and picked up a packet of tissues from the bar. He handed it to the boss lady.
The boss lady tensed up and took it with trembling hands. There was gratitude in her eyes.
âUm, let me say something.â Huang Xiaolong was speaking fast, âAccording to the boss ladyâs fortune, it is indeed full of troubles and misfortunes. She would normally be miserable for her whole life. However, if she meets a noble person, when she meets that person, she will be blessed by the gods and that would change the course of her life.â
âUm, today, the boss lady will meet that noble person and she will prosper for the rest of her days.â Huang Xiaolong smiled mysteriously.
The boss lady wiped away her tears and looked at Huang Xiaolong. Her teary eyes looked like they were in deep thought. âSir, I-I will meet a noble person in my life? Theyâre gonna appear today?â
âHeâs already here.â Huang Xiaolong smiled.
âMotherf*cker!â Brother Earthworm flew into a rage. âYou country bumpkin, who the f*ck asked you to talk, you f*cking f*ggot!â
After he said that, the goons from behind Brother Earthworm charged toward Huang Xiaolong. They were laughing maniacally.
âSir, run!â The boss lady exclaimed.
Huang Xiaolong did not move. His face looked nonchalant. He was grinning while mumbling, âI have a good temper. When people curse at me, normally, I wonât get angry. However, when they do it repeatedly, then itâs a no-no.â
Huang Xiaolong tapped on the bar quicker than words could tell.
There was a container filled with chopsticks on the bar. Suddenly, it levitated magically.
Huang Xiaolong waved his hand lightly.
Woosh. Woosh. Woosh. Woosh.
The whole bunch of chopsticks flew in the air like darts. Their momentum was quick and sudden.
Every single chopstick hit Brother Earthworm and his underlingsâ knees accurately.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Brother Earthworm and his people all fell to the ground.
At that moment, their knees were in excruciating pain. They had lost all feeling from the lower halves of their legs.
The boss lady widened her eyes and she forgot her despair from before. Her mouth was gaping so wide it could fit a cucumber. She looked at Huang Xiaolong with an astonished expression.
Brother Earthworm and his people were all kneeling on the ground. It was as if they had seen a ghost.
âDamn it, are you sure theyâre not recording a TV show?â
He waved his hand and the chopsticks attacked everyoneâs knees like magic weapons. Then their lower bodies all felt numb and stiff like they had been paralyzed. They were also kneeling in the standard position of a filial child. They looked so professional.
âWhat the hell was that?â
âY-Y-YouâŠâ The arrogance in Brother Earthwormâs eyes was being replaced by fear. He was cold sweating heavily.
âItâs fine. Donât worry. I only tapped the Heding Point on your knees lightly. It wonât paralyze you,â Huang Xiaolong said while chuckling. âCrawl out of here now. Go home and soak your feet in hot water. Find someone to massage the Yongquan Point under your foot. Half an hour should be fine.â

âA-Alright, I didnât expect you to be a master, sir. I admit my mistakes.â There was a bitter resentment in Brother Earthwormâs eyes. Then, he was the first one to crawl out of the restaurant.
Then, his underlings followed behind him like maggots. They all crawled out of the restaurant with fear on their faces.
âSir, itâs a small world. Even if youâre the strongest, youâre still all alone.â Brother Earthworm turned around and looked at Huang Xiaolong as if he wanted to gouge his eyes out.
âAlright, got it. Youâll seek revenge on me, right?â Huang Xiaolong waved his hands impatiently. âI just left the countryside so I donât have a job yet, which means I will be free for the time being. So, I hope you guys come and retaliate against me soon so that I wonât be so bored. The thing is I am never conflicted when people strike back against me.
âAlso, go back and tell your Brother Tiger or Brother Dog, to collect the debt of the boss ladyâs brother from me. Iâm done talking, continue crawling.â
