The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine-Chapter 764 - : The Place Where Yin Energy is at its Peak!
Chapter 764: Chapter 764: The Place Where Yin Energy is at its Peak!
Soon, the tantalizing aroma of barbecue filled Chu Family Village.
Huang Xiaolong and the others were devouring the juicy, fragrant, and golden-brown grilled meats, relishing every bite.
In the meantime, Old Master Chu, looking somewhat nervous and worried, came with his clansfolk to apologize. He had a vague sense that something wasn’t right in the village and was instinctively seeking some protection from Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong brushed him off casually and sent him away with his entourage.
This feast went on till dusk. Everyone was full and satiated, and dinner was no longer required. Huang Xiaolong didn’t mention leaving Chu Family Village, so no one else objected.
Old Master Chu made arrangements, freeing up several village houses, and settled Huang Xiaolong and his companions.
Since Huang Xiaolong had come to celebrate Old Master Chu’s birthday as Chu Tingting’s boyfriend, he was arranged to share a room with Chu Tingting.
Chu Tingting was both shy and thrilled. It felt as if a jar of honey had been spilled in her heart, a sweetness that felt almost too much to bear.
The setting sun bled red into the autumn dusk, casting a somber atmosphere. The occasional cawing of crows, and the ruthless wind that shook and stripped the barely surviving trees of their leaves, added to the desolation.
Lights peppered the village.
Even though Chu Family Village was isolated from the world, it had natural gas, electricity, and even internet connection.
Despite the village not being dark, it was filled with an oppressive, chilling atmosphere that made one’s hair stand on end.
Outside the house where Huang Xiaolong was staying, several people were peering around curiously.
Huang Xiaolong stood at the doorway with a playful expression.
Ma Chuxia, who was staying next door to Huang Xiaolong, had arrived by his side and a look of sympathy crossed her face. “Little Long, the three people we saw today had similar dreams last night… they were all skinned… and now… their dreams have become reality…”
The three men peeping outside Huang Xiaolong’s house were indeed the same three city dwellers who had been singled out by a ghost today.
At this moment, these three men were already dead, ghosts wrapped in human skin.
The skin was peeled off in one piece, emitting a fresh corpse smell. The corners of their mouths carried a faint, sneering smile.
At this point, the three ghosts were laughing maliciously at Huang Xiaolong, Ma Chuxia, and the others.
One of the three ghosts whispered in a creaky voice. “It’s hungry… it’s been starving…. these people came just in time, otherwise where would we find so much fresh blood to feed it…?”
“Little Long, what are these ghosts talking about? Who’s hungry?” asked Ma Chuxia, standing beside him, knitting her brows.
“Wifey, are you criticising me for not taking action earlier and saving those three city dwellers?” Huang Xiaolong responded with a laugh.
In a calm tone, Ma Chuxia said, “No, Little Long, I understand that every decision you make is based on a specific purpose. If you didn’t save them, you must have had your reasons. Perhaps… they weren’t worth saving, right?”

“Hahaha~~ Wifey, you’re indeed clever~~ Alright, let’s get back to our house and rest.” Huang Xiaolong yawned lazily.
“Little Long, are you planning on doing anything tonight?” Ma Chuxia guessed.
“Hehe~~ Let me first get some sleep before deciding.” With that, Huang Xiaolong gave a noncommittal smile, then turned around and went back into the house.
Ma Chuxia took one last look at the three ghosts wearing human skin, and then she too returned to her own room and shut the door.
Inside.
The room was bathed in soft light. Chu Tingting’s cheeks were rosy, as though dusted with rouge.
“Little Long, the living conditions here in the village are simple… I… I heated some water for you to freshen up.” Chu Tingting’s voice was barely above a whisper, resembling a dutiful wife caring for her husband.
“Tingting, I feel really tired today. Could you help me clean up?” Huang Xiaolong’s gaze was playful as he looked at Chu Tingting.
Chu Tingting’s body trembled slightly and she lowered her head, her ears flushed red.
After taking a few deep breaths, Chu Tingting finally gave a light nod and responded softly.
Half an hour later, Huang Xiaolong and Chu Tingting had helped each other clean up and then fell asleep holding each other.
Chu Tingting’s youthful body was finally fully revealed to Huang Xiaolong, leaving no more secrets between them.
As they brushed past each other, Huang Xiaolong couldn’t help but touch Chu Tingting, leaving her utterly smitten.
However, once they were in bed, Huang Xiaolong promptly got dressed again.
“Little Long, why…why have you put your clothes back on so neatly?” Chu Tingting asked, surprised, her head gently resting on Huang Xiaolong’s chest, feeling his strong heartbeat.
“Tingting, that mangy dog said something big was going to happen in Chu Family Village. Don’t you feel that there’s something off about the village?” Huang Xiaolong asked, stroking Chu Tingting’s silky hair.
“Indeed, indeed.” Chu Tingting nods repeatedly. “When we first entered the village, you mentioned that some of the villagers had no shadows. And why would those city folks want to film a documentary here in our Chu Family Village? I think they’re lying. The worst part is the food—it’s actually made from dead rats and human flesh, how terrifying… Little Long, you must know something, right? What happened in Chu Family Village?”
“Don’t rush, Tingting. The answer will be revealed soon.” Huang Xiaolong turned his gaze to the window.
Outside, it was pitch-black, the moon hidden away by thick clouds, casting no light.
Following Huang Xiaolong’s gaze, Chu Tingting looked out the window. The scene outside sent a chill down her spine, and she clung to Huang Xiaolong tightly.
“Little Long…what’s out there?” Chu Tingting whispered.
“Shh~~~ it’s here,” Huang Xiaolong said excitedly.
Sure enough, a cold wind swept past the window, soon followed by the rustling of tree branches. Then, scraping sounds could be heard from the windowpane, until finally—
A face! Pressed up against the glass!
It was a woman’s face, bloodied, with her eyeballs hanging out of their sockets. She bit into the glass, making a terrifying, cringe-worthy noise!
“Ahhhh~~~~~!!!!” In an instant, Chu Tingting let out a piercing scream.
The sound shattered the tranquillity of the village night.
Lights turned on all over the village.
The bloody face that had appeared on Huang Xiaolong’s window gave them a resentful stare before disappearing like a ghost.
“Heheh~~scared me, did she? She really does not know her place!” Huang Xiaolong gently patted Chu Tingting’s shoulder. “Tingting, get some sleep. I’ll be back.”
As soon as he had spoken, Huang Xiaolong dashed through the wall and chased after it.
Outside.
It was a dark and windy night.
As Huang Xiaolong dashed out, Ma Chuxia, Xia Ying, Ji Zhengyu, Old Master Jin, several martial artists from the Jin Family, and several Taoists from the Metaphysics Association followed suit.
“Little Dragon, there was a female ghost peeping at me from the window earlier,” Ma Chuxia stated, her expression cold.
“Well, since they’ve knocked on our door, might as well see what’s the big mystery in Chu Family Village,” Huang Xiaolong chuckled.
He then took out a ‘Yin Chasing Charm’ from his canvas bag, lit it, and turned it into a fireball, which promptly flew away.
Huang Xiaolong went after the fireball at a leisurely pace.
“Master, I’ll go too,” Ji Zhengyu volunteered.
“Master, I will come with you to gain some experience.” At the command of Old Master Jin, a group of experts from the Jin family followed suit.
Ma Chuxia caught up with Huang Xiaolong after a few hops. “Little Long, whatever’s going on with Chu Family Village, I’m sure we’ll get to the bottom of it tonight.”
In no time, they reached the edge of the village, where a dense forest laid ahead. Deep within the forest, an old house faintly visible flickered with a gloomy light.
Above the forest, eerie ghost aura seemed like a pillar of smoke shooting up into the sky!
“Little Long, this is where the most ghost aura in the Chu Family Village is concentrated!” Ma Chuxia frowned slightly.
“Woof woof woof~~~ woof woof woof~~~” The bark of a dog echoed as that mangy dog ran out of the forest, barking wildly at Huang Xiaolong.
“Friend, were you the one who turned Taoist Yin into this?” A chilling male voice spoke up. Behind the mangy dog emerged a thin middle-aged man. He stands tall, his presence seemingly piercing the sky!
