Chapter 620 The Mantis Shrimp

In the north of Huaxia, it is said that there are five immortals, aka, Fox Immortal, Weasel Immortal, Snake Immortal, Hedgehog Immortal and Crow Immortal.

There are numerous legends about the five immortals. Even about the Weasel Immortal demanding being immortal, various versions of the legend are spread around. For example, some assert that they saw that the weasel dressed in clothes and a hat, riding a rabbit or carried by other animals, asked others affectedly, “Do I look like an immortal?”

If the one replied with a yes, the weasel would be made an immortal and then bully the local folks. Therefore, anyone who was sane would just respond in an insultingly negative way like, “Hell no!”

Legend also has it that the weasel would dress like a human being and ask someone, “Do I look like a human being?” If it got the answer of yes, it would take the shape of a human; if it got the answer of no, it would hold a grudge against the man and seek revenge.

There are various types of legends.

Actually, it can tell from so many legends that in the eyes of the Huaxia people, the weasel is a terrifying animal, which is sly and vicious.

Asking for prayers with incense is more of a compromise for fearing being punished to some degree.

Due to its smartness, the weasel cultivates more easily than ordinary animals. The weasel monster’s soul can’t be overlooked, which in nature is much stronger than an ordinary ghost. The ceiling for its cultivation is slightly higher.

This is a ghost tough to deal with.

Gao Ge has made a conclusion.

Luckily, now the Ghost Sect’s plan hasn’t been successfully executed. Neither can they go back on it at the current moment. The living souls of the people in Qiu City have become the cultivation resources of the weasel. And now their plan is about to succeed. Gao Ge can’t be sure what he can do about the weasel.

However, since it hasn’t completely succeeded, in Gao Ge’s eyes, the weasel monster’s soul is still eradicable.

Whenever the weasel wants to escape, it will be mercilessly thumped back by Gao Ge with his Flying Star Sword.

It is really difficult for the weasel to run away.

Everyone has a temper, let alone a vicious monster’s soul. It has suffered losses again and again due to Gao Ge. Eventually, it cannot hold back its killing intent.

With a roar, the weasel monster’s soul rushes towards Gao Ge’s face like a flash of lightning with a beam of light, whose eyes are just like the dead sea in the underground world wherein tens of millions of ghosts float around. The white smoke blown out of its mouth slowly rises and goes to the sky. With bursts of explosions, the monster’s soul launches attacks three times in a row, which finally manages to force Gao Ge to retreat.

“Huh. Are you going to escape? Or to confront me with toughness?” Gao Ge squints at the monster’s soul in a calm voice, but what he has just said is full of mockery for his opponent. After all, not everything can be strong enough to confront him.

The monster’s soul becomes even braver as it fights. It seems to feel that being capable of forcing Gao Ge to retreat can boost its confidence.

It doesn’t know that Gao Ge simply wants to stall for some time.

The monster’s soul has appeared but it is not the ringleader.

He travels all the way to Shu Province not to deal with the monster’s soul in front of him.

Hence, he just needs to wait for another while quietly.

The monster’s soul is a bit tough to handle, but Gao Ge is confident in his victory. If he cannot even deal with the monster’s soul, there is no point in being a swordsman at the realm of Master.

It is not hard for Gao Ge at all.

Thus, he had better wait longer.

He should wait until the ringleader appears and capture all in one net.

Hopefully, who has set up the whole scheme will show up with Meng Jing...

In the car, Yue Xincheng pats his thighs.

“They seem to get into a fight.”

“I’ve noticed it too.” Xia Lu frowns.

“Shall we go there and take a look?” Yue Xincheng asks in a low voice.

Xia Lu is about to open the door of the car without hesitation when she finds that the door has been locked.

“Shao Shuai, what are you doing?”

Shao Shuai stares at her in the rearview mirror, saying, “Are you going there to do him a favor?”

“Of course! Do you think we are going there to look on?” Xia Lu snaps.

Feeling bad about being dissed, Shao Shuai still continues, “Actually, even if you go there, you won’t be of any help. After all, if Gao Ge is no match for that thing, I believe you can’t help him even if you are there. Therefore, you may as well stay here. On the other hand, what you feel is only the Qi of the monster’s soul. Obviously, the ringleader hasn’t shown up. Your going there now will only alert the opponent.”

Yue Xincheng looks Xia Lu in the eye and both of them stay quiet.

Shao Shuai heaves a sigh. “You’ve known Gao Ge much longer than me. You should know the best what he has in his mind. Since you do, why do you still want to go there?”

Xia Lu rolls her eyes at him and says, “Don’t make it sound like you know Gao Ge well.”

“I can’t say that I know him well, but after spending these years with him, I kind of know him to some degree.” Shao Shuai smacks his lips and says grinningly, “I thought I could make a girl of the Shao Family marry Gao Ge just like what I do to Tang Jiusi, but now I know it is basically impossible. Actually, it is not because of Meng Jing. Although Gao Ge is worried about her very much, I’ve never met her before. However, I do know you! I think I can’t find another girl in my family who is more beautiful than you.”

Xia Lu pulls a long face. “Stop talking nonsense.”

Shao Shuai whistles. “Fine. Since you think I am talking nonsense, just take it that way.”

Xia Lu snorts, “Don’t ever think that I don’t dare to beat you up.”

Shao Shuai coughs and says, “Xia Lu, this is what I’m thinking. After all, now Gao Ge hasn’t found Meng Jing yet, so it is your chance! Take the opportunity to go between them, you know?”

“Shut up!” Xia Lu really goes mad.

Indisputably, Shao Shuai makes a good point.

She has never had such a thought since Meng Jing left.

The reason is quite simple. For one thing, she is on good terms with Meng Jing. For another, after she left, Gao Ge has been greatly changed.

When she just met Gao Ge, he was more mischievous than Yue Xincheng. He could even be called as a “mantis shrimp”.

Nevertheless, now only Yue Xincheng is so mischievous while Gao Ge speaks cautiously.

Inevitably, Xia Lu feels sad about that, so she feels she doesn’t even need to avail herself of the opportunity to get between the couple. Instead, she hopes that Gao Ge can find Meng Jing and become what he used to be.
