Chapter 61

Shen Shi led a group of ghost servants, storming into the chef's apartment of the cooking institute to cause trouble for Su Xing, but they found no one there.

"Are you sure he's here?" Cui Qi gently waved his pornographic fan, looking around the empty first-floor hall, his eyes dark and gloomy. He had brought a large group of ghost servants, but they found nothing, not even a hair of Su Xing.

Cui Qi looked at Shen Shi and asked, "Is this the result you wanted? If it weren't for your promise, I wouldn't have come!"

"There's no reason for this to happen!" Shen Shi also looked puzzled, his expression anxious.

"Could there be a traitor among us, who informed Su Xing?" Shen Shi speculated.

"A traitor?" Cui Qi frowned, his eyes dark as he scanned the group of ghost servants behind him. Then he said to Shen Shi, "It's unlikely. Su Xing has no connection with them."

"That's strange." Shen Shi muttered, "Let's ask the guard."

Shen Shi walked to the guardhouse and leaned his arm on the windowsill.

"Hey!"

"I'm talking to you!"

"Damn, are you looking for a fight?"

"......!"

Shen Shi glared fiercely, but the guard in the guardhouse showed no reaction.

"Damn it..." Just as Shen Shi was about to curse, the guard suddenly turned his head, his cold gaze falling on Shen Shi.

"This is not a place for you to act recklessly!" the guard said calmly.

"You!" Shen Shi's eyes widened, about to attack, but Cui Qi's hand landed on his shoulder.

"Don't be impulsive. I guarantee that you'll regret it if you attack. Even your uncle, Shen Gongbao, can't protect you then!" Cui Qi said.

"Hmph! Try me!" Shen Shi said coldly.

"Cui Qi, are you sure that Dong Mei in the West Garden is willing to see me?" Cui Qi suddenly asked.

"If you don't trust me, why did you come?" Shen Shi said sarcastically, inwardly sneering. Dong Mei had already agreed to let him be the first to enter her chambers. Cui Qi would just have to wear the green hat.

Cui Qi, unaware of Shen Shi's thoughts, asked curiously, "Aren't you pursuing Chun Lan in the East Garden? How do you know Dong Mei? Could it be that you..."

Cui Qi's expression turned cautious, even a bit hostile. He knew Shen Shi was full of bad ideas and nothing good would come of it.

Damn, how sensitive! Shen Shi's heart raced, cursing inwardly, but he smiled and said, "Ha, Cui Qi, don't worry. I already have Chun Lan. How could I flirt with Dong Mei?"

"That's best." Cui Qi gently waved his pornographic fan, taking over from Shen Shi to negotiate with the guard and finally getting the key.

"Let's go. Su Xing lives in 613. Let's take a look." Cui Qi held the key up in front of Shen Shi, smirking.

Shen Shi's eyes flashed with dissatisfaction, but he smiled and said, "Lead the way."

Thus, a group of ghost servants stormed up to the sixth floor.

"Ha, I'm going to smash up Su Xing's place. I can't wait to see his face when he comes back!" Shen Shi chatted with Cui Qi.

"Anyone who dares to challenge me, I'll show him why the pornographic fan is so colorful!" Cui Qi waved his fan lightly, half-covering his pale face, his eyes as venomous as a snake.

The two ghosts discussed how to smash Su Xing's furniture and how ugly his face would be.

"613 is here." A ghost servant said.

"Oh, we're here? So fast?" Cui Qi was surprised, inserted the key, and exchanged a glance with Shen Shi, both smiling in默契.

The door opened silently, and Su Xing's home was completely exposed to the group of thugs.

The ghost servants were stunned, their eyes and jaws almost dropping.

"What's going on!" Shen Shi jumped up, shocked and angry, his expression incredibly vivid!

"Damn!" Cui Qi's expression was no less vivid, throwing the key to the ground in anger.

Everyone was furious, ready to smash the furniture, but all they found was a pile of black ash on the ground.

What's the point of smashing anything! Just a pile of black ash!

Cui Qi and Shen Shi were seething with anger, wanting to vent but unable to. They were so angry they almost wanted to bang their heads against the wall, wanting to scratch the walls. They had just been enthusiastically discussing how to smash Su Xing's furniture and how ugly his face would be.

But the result... was too infuriating!

"Did Su Xing know we were coming and burn all the furniture?" Shen Shi asked Cui Qi.

"Who do I ask?!" Cui Qi was furious, suppressing his anger, "It's unlikely. Why would he burn the furniture just to anger us?"

"That's true." Shen Shi gradually calmed down.

"Could there be someone else seeking revenge on Su Xing?" Cui Qi said.

"Hmph, Su Xing is too arrogant, making enemies everywhere. He will fall eventually." Shen Shi said coldly.

"Let's go." Cui Qi said, feeling very unwilling.

"Everyone, let's go!" Shen Shi waved his hand, and the ghost servants left reluctantly.

At this moment, Su Xing was selecting books at the Yin Tian Pavilion.

"So expensive?" Su Xing's eyes widened in disbelief. The glass cabinets displayed books on alchemy and potion-making, even the basic ones costing hundreds of thousands of ghost coins.

"Ghost coins are really worthless. No wonder the exchange rate with the 'red old man' is so low!"

Although Su Xing grumbled, he was ruthless in his purchases. He picked up several books costing hundreds of thousands of ghost coins each, gritting his teeth and not feeling the pain. When he paid, he spent millions of ghost coins, his heart bleeding.

"Oh, my ghost coins, all gone in one go." Su Xing held the books, feeling heartbroken. The hard-earned ghost coins were all spent.

In the end, he brought the books home, smiling foolishly. He could earn more ghost coins, but the knowledge he gained would benefit him for life. Besides, once he mastered alchemy and potion-making, ghost coins would roll in.

Thinking of this, he bought a mat and immediately took a taxi back to the City God's Mansion, eager to read the books on alchemy and potion-making.

"Damn, Su Xing got away!" Shen Shi was very angry and frustrated, squatting around the apartment.

"This time, I suffered with you. If Dong Mei is a lie, I'll never forgive you!" Cui Qi was even more furious. For some reason, seeing the pornographic fan he usually carried made him even angrier!

If Cui Qi knew that Shen Shi had abandoned Chun Lan and was flirting with Dong Mei, using him, he would go crazy and tear Shen Shi apart.

Shen Shi was embarrassed, knowing the danger, so he was extremely cautious, but also found it exciting.

"Su Xing is back!" A ghost suddenly shouted.

"Don't shout! You almost scared me to death!" Shen Shi scolded, having been on guard against Cui Qi. The sudden shout from the ghost servant almost scared his soul out of his body.

"Su Xing is back!" The ghost servant emphasized.

Su Xing was seen carrying several books, walking slowly from a distance, his head down, his gaze vacant, as if deep in thought.

"That's Su Xing, the bastard!" Shen Shi and Cui Qi shouted, "Everyone, charge out and take him down!"

Everyone was seething with anger. At the command of Shen Shi and Cui Qi, the ghost servants charged out like bulls in heat, shouting.

"Which is better, alchemy or potion-making?" Su Xing was pondering this when he suddenly heard the shouts. He looked up and saw a group of ghost servants charging at him, shouting.

"Wow, so dramatic, who are they after?" Su Xing said in surprise. Then his face changed when he heard them shouting his name and cursing his ancestors.

"Su Xing, take this!" A fast-running ghost servant shouted, jumping up and performing a White Crane Spreads Its Wings, aiming a powerful strike at Su Xing.

"Go to hell! I'll curse your whole family!" Su Xing raised his arms and punched the ghost servant in the stomach.

"Ouch!"

The ghost servant screamed, his wings not fully spread, and was punched away by Su Xing.

"Here's my Black Tiger Heart Claw!" The second ghost servant followed, his hands forming claws, black ghostly energy swirling, aiming for Su Xing's chest.

"You're more like a kitten's scratch!" Su Xing sneered, clawing back. It was as if a black tiger roared, striking the ghost servant's chest.

"Spit!"

The ghost servant spat out bile, unable to spit blood.

"Charge of the Bull Herd!" Four ghost servants charged, heads down, aiming to knock Su Xing over.

"Strike the Bull from Afar!" Su Xing punched the ghost servant spitting bile, sending him flying and colliding with the four charging ghost servants.

"Damn, so brutal!" The next ghost servant, seeing Su Xing's brutality, turned to run.

"Want to run? Dream on!" Su Xing laughed, his smile appearing particularly sinister to the ghost servant.

"What are you going to do?" The ghost servant trembled, afraid of Su Xing.

"What am I going to do..."

Su Xing grabbed the ghost servant and threw him away!

"Ah..."

The ghost servant screamed, crashing into another.

Su Xing had already put the alchemy and potion-making books in his ghost pocket, his hands free, charging into the group of ghost servants like a beast.

In an instant, the ghost servants were flying through the air, knocked down by Su Xing.

No matter what techniques they used—White Crane Spreads Its Wings, Great Eagle Spreads Its Wings, Black Tiger Heart Claw—none could withstand Su Xing's fists. Their attacks on Su Xing's ghost body were like tickling.

"You have some strength." Shen Shi sneered, originally planning to ambush Su Xing but stopping when Su Xing glared at him.

"But you're no match for me. We are at the Eighth Rank of Ghost Soldiers!" Cui Qi also sneered, neither of them being good people, and both had planned to ambush Su Xing but were detected in advance.

"Just you two?" Su Xing showed a look of disdain. The current Su Xing could easily defeat higher-ranked enemies. Even if Cui Qi and Shen Shi teamed up, they were no match for him.

"Talking big, aren't you? Don't you fear a backlash!" Shen Shi's face changed, and he attacked directly.

Cui Qi glanced at him in默契, following suit. He waved his pornographic fan, a crescent moon slicing through the air, sharp as a blade!

Shen Shi's weapon was a pair of gloves, gleaming with sharp hidden weapons, his punches fierce, aiming at Su Xing!
