Chapter 616 Shao Shuai’s Request

They have dined and wined to satiety.

After seeing off Xie Zhuolian, Gao Ge returns to his own room and surprisingly, he finds that a man is sitting in there.

“Gao Ge, you are such a bad friend. Even I have only drunk a small cup of the Xie Family’s wine. It still leaves a lingering taste in my mouth! Now I can only smell it without access to even a drop of it. It is too tormenting!” Shao Shuai looks at Gao Ge and says with a depressed look.

“Miss Xie hasn’t gone far away. If your family has ties with the Xie Family, I suppose you can get a glass of wine from her,” Gao Ge says.

Shao Shuai waves his hand. “Although my family is acquainted with the Xie Family, we are not that closed. Besides, I am not that important. Everyone knows that the wine of the Xie Family is good stuff. It can also help increase one’s cultivation level. However, it is basically useless for you. You are a cultivator at the realm of Master. Even if the wine can elevate the cultivation level, it won’t work much on you.”

Gao Ge sits down, picks up the cigarettes on the table and lights one.

Shao Shuai pushes the ashtray to him and looks at Gao Ge with narrowed eyes, saying, “Have a guess. Why am I here?”

Gao Ge is dazed. After thinking for a while, he shakes his head.

Shao Shuai coughs and says, “I’ve known what happened to you today, but not much. After all, the information has been blocked by the Dragon Court. It is too difficult for me to pry into more information.”

Gao Ge stays silent and flicks the cigarette ash away. He just squints at Shao Shuai and waits for him to continue talking.

Instead of beating around the bushes, Shao Shuai says, “As far as I know, all the poultry in a village were dead overnight.”

Gao Ge frowns and says, “What does it have to do with me?

Shao Shuai waves his hand, gesturing for Gao Ge to hold on.

Then he takes a cigarette from Gao Ge’s cigarette pack, lights one for himself and blows a smoke ring.

Upon seeing that, Gao Ge smiles.

He thinks of the golden monkey.

The way Shao Shuai blows smoke rings is just like how the golden monkey does it.

“Is your zodiac animal monkey?” Gao Ge asks subconsciously.

Shao Shuai doesn’t know what Gao Ge has in mind, but he has an intuition that Gao Ge can’t be saying anything nice.

He coughs, takes a puff on the cigarette and then raises his head to blow it out. Seeing the smoke rising slowly under the lamp, he feels as if being surrounded by clouds.

Well…

It must be because he has watched too many episodes of “Journey to the West.”

“The poultry in the village have been drained of blood, but not many people know about this. Yet, it should have been known by the Dragon Court, but they don’t pay much attention to it. Supposedly, they will send someone to check on it tomorrow.”

“Is it a supernatural event?” Gao Ge frowns and asks.

Shao Shuai nods his head and says, “Surely it is, but if that is a ghost event, why is no human dead but the poultry? Moreover, by now I’ve never heard of any ghost that needs to suck blood. Is it a vampire from abroad?”

Despite saying so, Shao Shuai is obviously kidding.

He doesn’t think it is possible.

Gao Ge falls into deep thought without responding.

Shao Shuai continues talking regardless.

“Actually, what I wonder most is why it is generally believed that a ghost must be transformed by the soul of a dead person.”

Hearing that, Gao Ge suddenly stands up and looks at Shao Shuai with staring eyes.
