Chapter 192

Chapter 192: Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover

“Such a country bumpkin, what’s there to look at? Haven’t you ever been to a big city before?” A heavily made-up woman beside him looked at Huang Xiaolong’s behavior, then glanced at his shabby attire and directly mocked him, her face full of disdain.

As everyone knows, no matter where the protagonist goes, they can’t avoid being mocked. Huang Xiaolong was no exception.

Hearing the woman’s sarcastic words, Huang Xiaolong frowned and turned his head, feeling somewhat displeased. However, he quickly smiled again.

By observing the woman’s face, Huang Xiaolong knew that she was in serious trouble recently. There was a cloud of black energy between her eyebrows that lingered, indicating she would soon experience some unfortunate events.

“What are you smiling at, bumpkin!” Seeing Huang Xiaolong’s bright smile, the middle-aged woman frowned, asking angrily.

“I am smiling because you are about to face disaster without realizing it, and there is a risk of being swept out of the house.” Huang Xiaolong sneered, saying this after a simple face reading. He also saw that this woman was not a good person.

Despite being in her forties, she didn’t live a stable life. Because her husband was often away on business trips, she spent money on several young men. If her husband found out, kicking her out would be the least of her worries.

“What do you mean?” The middle-aged woman frowned even more after hearing Huang Xiaolong’s words. She thought Huang Xiaolong was cursing her, as she didn’t believe in fortune-telling.

Huang Xiaolong didn’t say more, turning back to look out the window. He didn’t want to meddle in others’ family affairs, letting her husband find out on his own.

Seeing Huang Xiaolong silent, the middle-aged woman’s attitude became more arrogant. She thought Huang Xiaolong was retreating because he couldn’t win the argument. She despised these country bumpkins the most.

“Who knows which backwater place this fraud came from, dressing so shabbily like a bumpkin...”

“Do you really want me to expose all your deeds?” Seeing the woman’s persistent attitude, Huang Xiaolong sneered.

He decided not to hold back anymore. Although he was humble, he was not someone to be trifled with, having inherited the skills of an ancient qi practitioner.

The woman’s repeated taunts had already made Huang Xiaolong somewhat angry.

“What have I done? Don’t talk nonsense!” Facing Huang Xiaolong’s sharp gaze, the middle-aged woman felt a bit panicked but still pretended to be calm.

“I was just playing around with them... Honey, you have to believe me...” The middle-aged woman shook her head desperately, trying to explain, but was interrupted by the middle-aged man.

“What else is there to say! You bitch! We’re getting a divorce when we get back! How dare you betray me! I’ll make sure you leave with nothing!”

“No... honey, listen to me...” The middle-aged woman sobbed and grabbed the man’s arm, still trying to win him back.

The middle-aged man, overwhelmed by anger, didn’t care if they were in a public place. He slapped her hard across the face, “Bitch, don’t bother me anymore! Get out!”

Seeing her husband’s murderous gaze, the middle-aged woman shivered involuntarily. She knew her husband was really angry this time. Feeling the pointing and staring from others around, she couldn’t stay any longer.

She gave Huang Xiaolong a hateful glance and left in disgrace. This train car was clearly no longer suitable for her to stay in. She had to find a seat in another empty car.

...

“Master, thank you.” After she left, the middle-aged man took a deep breath and looked at Huang Xiaolong with a grateful expression.

If the other party hadn’t intervened today, he might have been kept in the dark for a while longer. It was ridiculous to wear such a big green hat without knowing it!

“You have a serious illness and probably don’t have long to live...” Huang Xiaolong glanced at him and said lightly.

“This... how do you know, Master?” The middle-aged man was stunned, looking at Huang Xiaolong in disbelief. He wasn’t angry at his rude words because he indeed had a serious illness.

After the initial shock, the middle-aged man became extremely excited. Since the other party could see his serious illness at a glance, maybe he could cure it too.

After all, he had just witnessed the other party’s miraculous means, easily seeing through his wife’s affairs.

“You have irreversible liver cirrhosis, and it is already in the late stage, possibly turning into cancer at any time.”

“Yes! Master, you are absolutely right! Is there any hope for me?” The middle-aged man nodded vigorously, looking at Huang Xiaolong with great hope.

He had almost given up on his condition, accepting it. But now, encountering this miraculous young man, he thought maybe he had a way to treat him.

This rekindled his hope, which had long been extinguished.
