Chapter 876: Chapter 876: Croton! Croton! Croton!
Chapter 876: Chapter 876: Croton! Croton! Croton!
At this time, many patrons in the restaurant, including the waitstaff, were laughing so hard they were nearly out of breath, and tears were almost bursting out of their eyes.
The idea of a monster was already absurd beyond measure, but the method this guy was using to exorcise and vanquish the demon involved telling people to go buy a book—just an ordinary book available in any major Wenxuan bookstore.
This had to be a joke!
“Go buy it quickly. I’m not cheating you out of your money. Why are you still hesitating?” Huang Xiaolong laughed helplessly.
The woman was internally torn, but unexpectedly, the man with the face mask pulled at her sleeve and nodded emphatically.
It seemed that the man with the face mask had been living a life worse than death these past days, and now, even the slightest glimmer of hope, no matter how unrealistic it appeared, like a mirage, he had to give it a try.
Put crudely, treat a live horse as if it were dead.
“Alright then! I’ll go right away!” The woman clenched her teeth and left the restaurant.
Huang Xiaolong took a chair and sat down next to the man with the face mask, looking with interest at the man’s throat, which showed no sign of abnormality.
The patrons in the restaurant stopped leaving and wore faces full of mockery while watching Huang Xiaolong.
Qingqing and Xiaohong also cast curious glances at Huang Xiaolong, who gestured that they should mind their own business and just eat their meal in peace.
“Don’t worry, it will be fine very soon,” said Huang Xiaolong, his smile almost a smirk, as he looked at the man with the face mask.
The man with the face mask immediately repeated, “Don’t worry, it will be fine very soon.” After that, he slapped his mouth in frustration, tears spilling out.
At that moment, the woman had returned to the restaurant, holding several thick collector’s editions of new books, “Here, the books you wanted, ‘Shennong’s Herbs,’ I’ve bought them. There’s a total of three volumes, upper, middle, and lower. Is this what you wanted?”
Huang Xiaolong casually picked up one of the books, nodded, and then declared loudly, “Now, I shall exorcise the demon!”
The man with the face mask mimicked Huang Xiaolong’s tone, “Now, I shall exorcise the demon!”
Ha ha ha ha~~~~Ha ha ha~~!!
The atmosphere of ridicule and uncontrollable laughter in the restaurant had reached its peak.
The woman was mortified, wishing she could just disappear into a crack in the ground.
Huang Xiaolong paid no attention to these people, opened the book, and fixed his gaze on the man with the face mask. “Take off your face mask.”
The man with the face mask echoed, “Take off your face mask,” and obediently removed the layers of face masks, revealing a face with a scruffy beard, emaciated and haggard looking.
All eyes from around quieted down as everyone wanted to see just how Huang Xiaolong would use a set of ordinary books to “exorcise the demon.”
“To drive out the little demon that’s grown in your throat, it’s both simple and difficult. Among these ‘Shennong’s Herbs,’ there’s certainly an herb that the little demon is very afraid of. However, which specific herb it is, I can’t say for sure. This little demon fears a different herb each day. So, I can only try to find out which one it fears today,” Huang Xiaolong explained smilingly.
His words were too bizarre for belief.
The little demon fears a different herb every day?
Such talk was incredibly hard to swallow.
The man with the face mask still mimicked Huang Xiaolong’s tone, repeating his words.
“For every herb I name, you repeat after me,” Huang Xiaolong said with a smile.
“For every herb I name, you repeat after me,” the man with the face mask said, and also nodded vigorously.
“Lily,” Huang Xiaolong proclaimed loudly.
The man with the face mask’s voice was not quiet either, matching Huang Xiaolong’s volume. “Lily.”
“Angelica.”
“Angelica.”
“Longan.”
“Longan.”
“Aconite, deer antler, goldthread, angelica dahurica, baical skullcap…”
“Aconite, deer antler, goldthread, angelica dahurica, baical skullcap…”
…
Huang Xiaolong, holding the book, began to read aloud. As he recited the name of each medicinal herb, the man in the mask copied his expressions.
The situation was truly comical to the extreme!
It was as if a private school teacher was teaching a student how to read.
Huang Xiaolong was fresh-faced, and the man in the mask was in his prime. The contrast between the two only increased the comedic effect.
The people in the restaurant were already covering their mouths, struggling terribly to hold back, and were about to burst out laughing the next second.
Just then!

“Croton seeds!” Huang Xiaolong exclaimed loudly.
At that moment, something strange happened!
The man in the mask did not repeat Huang Xiaolong’s words!
It was the first time in years that he hadn’t repeated what someone nearby had said!
The man in the mask bulged his eyes, looking at Huang Xiaolong with a mix of shock and joy!
People in the restaurant swiftly reacted and gazed at the man in the mask in astonishment.
“Oh! So today, this little demon is afraid of croton seeds! Hahaha~~~ Found it!” Huang Xiaolong also began to laugh. Then he raised his voice an octave and roared, “Croton seeds!!!!!”
The man in the mask was silent!
Someone in the restaurant started shouting loudly, “Croton seeds!”
Soon, the whole restaurant was chanting in unison, “Croton seeds! Croton seeds! Croton seeds! Croton seeds!”
The man in the mask did not respond or echo back, clenched his fists tightly, and was trembling with agitation beyond words.
“Hurry and go to the nearby Chinese medicine shop and buy some croton seeds,” Huang Xiaolong urged the masked man’s wife.
“Go, go, go, I’ll go, I’ll be right back, I’ll be right back… this is miraculous! Truly miraculous!” she hurried out of the restaurant without stopping.
The man in the mask then repeated, “Go, go, go, I’ll go, I’ll be right back, I’ll be right back… this is miraculous! Truly miraculous!”
At this point, people in the restaurant started to look at Huang Xiaolong in a new light.
It appeared that this youthful lad might truly have some ability! However, people still couldn’t believe that the man in the mask was possessed by a demon.
Perhaps it was just some sort of complicated illness.
Xiaohong, however, whispered in Qingqing’s ear, “Sister Qingqing, it seems the young master was telling the truth. So strange, there actually is such a little demon that even we didn’t spot its flaw. I want to see what kind of demon it is. When the time comes, I’ll eat it in one bite!”
“Xiaohong, how can you be so disgusting?” Qingqing frowned and said.
Before long, the woman returned with a big bag of croton seeds, and her attitude toward Huang Xiaolong was very respectful. She kept asking, “Esteemed master, what do we do now… now? Do we need to find a place to concoct the medicine or what?”
“Just let your husband eat the croton seeds raw,” Huang Xiaolong said, taking a seed from the woman’s pocket and handing it to the man in the mask. “Here, grit your teeth and swallow it.”
The man in the mask repeated Huang Xiaolong’s words and eagerly accepted the croton seed, swallowing it immediately.
Just after eating the seed, the man in the mask showed no reaction yet, but just looked at Huang Xiaolong with excited eyes.
In the restaurant, every pair of eyes, including those of Qingqing and Xiaohong, was fixed on the man in the mask.
Two minutes later!
The man in the mask suddenly felt extreme discomfort in his stomach, as if his insides were churning, especially in his throat, which was unbearably itchy!
The next second——
“Vom~~~~~~~!!!!!!”
Unable to hold back any longer, the man in the mask vomited, and out came an object!
