Chapter 112: Drinking

The moment Chu Luo agreed to drink, everyone became excited.

Li Tao got the service staff to bring over a few jars of fruit wine brewed in the villa. The moment the lid was opened, a thick fragrance of wine mixed with the sweet scent of fruit floated out.

Chu Luo sniffed and praised, “Good wine.”

“Looks like you really know how to drink.”

Previously, when they ate at Old Gao’s residence, He Jiang didn’t believe it. “Since both of us can drink, why don’t we compete to see who can drink until the other party falls flat tonight?”

Chu Luo looked at He Jiang, whose eyes were sparkling, and pointed at the center of the stage. “Dance with Li Tao first.”

“What?”

He Jiang and Li Tao looked at Ji Cheng, who was wearing a lewd smile.

Ji Cheng had a scoundrelly look. “Didn’t you guys ask me to get Chu Luo to drink?”

He Jiang and Li Tao gritted their teeth and glared at him.

“You, Ji Cheng, actually dared to scheme against me.”

Ji Cheng directly hid behind Chu Luo.

Chu Luo looked at the two of them. “It’s fine if you don’t want to dance… anyway, your dance shouldn’t be that good.”

He Jiang and Li Tao looked at each other. They could tolerate other things, but they couldn’t tolerate Chu Luo’s contemptuous expression.

He Jiang directly pointed at Ji Cheng, “Get the music ready.”

Ji Cheng quickly took out his phone, “Brothers, what tune do you need? I’ll find it immediately.”

Li Tao: “Us Against the World.”

Ji Cheng held his phone and used two thumbs to type on it. “Us-us, eh, how do you spell the English word that follows?”

Chu Luo took his phone and quickly typed the song name before pa.s.sing it to him.

Ji Cheng gave her a thumbs up in admiration.

He Jiang and Li Tao had already walked to the open s.p.a.ce in front. He Jiang was wearing a black t-s.h.i.+rt and Li Tao was wearing a white t-s.h.i.+rt. The two of them looked at Chu Luo at the same time and made a gesture for her to wait and see. Amid the girls’ screams, the two of them started dancing to the rhythm of the music.

“Wow! I didn’t expect Li Tao to look so das.h.i.+ng doing hip-hop dance. He’s so handsome!”

“I always thought that the cla.s.s rep only knew how to play basketball. I didn’t expect him to dance so well.”

“Ahhh… Li Tao’s dance steps are so cool. Also, that pose where he ran his fingers through his hair is so cool.”

“Yo, cla.s.s rep is also handsome.”

Chu Luo’s lips twitched as she listened to everyone bootlicking them. She really wanted to say, “What’s with their dancing? It’s just a few ‘act cool’ moves. Is there a need to be so amazed?”

After the two of them finished dancing, He Jiang walked towards Chu Luo. After standing still, he gestured an inverted V under his chin. “How is it? Were you charmed by my dance?”

Chu Luo said with a wooden face, “No.”

He Jiang: “…”

Li Tao had long guessed what Chu Luo would say. He walked over with a jar of wine and said to Chu Luo, “Since we’ve danced, can we drink now?”

After saying that, he poured the wine into two empty bowls on the table beside him and handed one to Chu Luo. “This wine has 35% alcohol content. If you can drink this bowl, I’ll call you Boss from now on.”

Then, he added provocatively, “And if you can’t drink anymore, you can call me Brother from now on.”

The others immediately cheered.

“Yo! Li Tao, aren’t you obviously trying to take advantage of Chu Luo to make her call you Brother?”

“That’s right, that’s right. Li Tao, you’re too devious.”

“Chu Luo, don’t fall for Li Tao’s trick.”

“Chu Luo, if you really don’t know how to drink, I’ll help you drink it.”

Li Tao kept holding out the wine bowl to Chu Luo. When he heard everyone’s words, the provocative smile in his eyes deepened.

Chu Luo scanned the crowd and took the wine bowl from Li Tao’s hand to drink.

The rich and sweet scent of fruit mixed with the fragrance of the wine entered her throat. Chu Luo nodded in her heart and had already made up her mind to take a few jars back.

After drinking a bowl of wine, Chu Luo wiped the wine stain on the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand and said with sparkling eyes, “Good wine. Another bowl.”

Everyone was stunned by her boldness. “!!!”

Seeing that no one reacted, Chu Luo took a bottle and poured herself another bowl before downing it.

This time, everyone swallowed their saliva and thought, “Could the staff have mistakenly brought a jar of water over?”

Li Tao walked over and lifted his bowl to his mouth. He originally wanted to drink it in one go, but the fragrance and rich alcohol smell forced him to slow down.

After he drank that bowl of wine, Ji Cheng was the first to ask, “Li Tao, is that wine?”

Li Tao lowered his eyes and said ambiguously, “You can try.”

A few people didn’t believe that. They walked over and poured a bowl of wine for each of them. They wanted to imitate Chu Luo’s boldness, but this time…

“Pfft… Cough, cough… Cough, cough…”

“Hahaha…”

“Li Tao, you’re too devious!”

“I didn’t force you guys to drink.”

“I think you did it on purpose.”

The rest of them started playing around.

Then, everyone chatted and laughed as they drank and ate roasted meat. Before they knew it, it was already 11 pm.

At this moment, many people were already drunk. Everyone laughed and supported each other as they walked towards their residence.

When he reached the spot where the male and female courtyard separated, Li Tao suddenly called out, “Chu Luo.”

Chu Luo stopped.

Li Tao shouted in front of everyone, “Boss.”

Chu Luo nodded at him and returned to the girls’ courtyard amid the cheering.

After everyone had gone to sleep, Chu Luo left the courtyard and walked towards the tomb raider’s residence.

At this moment, the villa had fallen silent.

However, there were people patrolling at night.

In order not to alarm these people, Chu Luo walked straight to a more concealed place.

That person lived in a small courtyard alone, and the lights were still on in the room.

Chu Luo quietly walked to the window and happened to hear the conversation between that person surnamed Li and another person.

“Old Li, are you really not going to take a look over there? So many rich and powerful people have gone over this time. As an expert in that area, even if you don’t say anything else, just leading the way will earn you a huge sum.”

“Zhang Cheng, stop talking. I said I wouldn’t go. I’m reminding you as a brother that you mustn’t go down that tomb.”

“Why not… Old Li, tell me the truth. Back then, when you went down, did you encounter something?”

Old Li didn’t answer. It was obvious that he didn’t want to.

Zhang Cheng was anxious. “Old Li, what exactly happened to you back then? Why do you refuse to talk about that matter? Could it be… that there were zombies inside?”

Old Li still didn’t answer.

Zhang Cheng’s voice tightened. “Is there something more terrifying than a zombie?”

“Zhang Cheng, don’t ask. Anyway, that tomb can’t be entered, that’s all I’ll say. Back then, I was just a messenger outside and didn’t follow them in. Besides… even the Chu brothers didn’t enter the main tomb back then.”

“Really? Didn’t I hear that Chu Yichen met with misfortune because the Chu brothers entered the main tomb?”

“You said it yourself—it’s hearsay. I don’t think anyone other than Chu Zhengyang knows what the true story is.”

“But so many bigshots went there this time. They all brought powerful people with them. Can’t so many living persons defeat the dead people?”

“Zhang Cheng! I advise you to be careful with your words.” Old Li chased him away. “Go back to your room. I’m going to rest. I’ll leave tomorrow.”

“Hey…”

“Go.”

Zhang Cheng was pushed out by Old Li.

After Chu Luo saw Zhang Cheng leave, she walked over and knocked on Old Li’s door.

Old Li thought that Zhang Cheng had returned. As he opened the door, he cursed, “Zhang Cheng, are you done…”

When he saw the person standing outside the door, Old Li was stunned. “You…”

Chu Luo said directly, “I have a question to ask you.”

Old Li sized up Chu Luo from head to toe and deliberately teased, “Little girl, do you know what it means to casually come to a grown man’s place in the middle of the night and knock on his door? You… Uh…”

Chu Luo frowned in displeasure. With a flick of her hand, a pill flew into his mouth.

Then, she looked at Old Li, who had one hand covering his mouth and the other trying to dig out the pill. She said coldly, “I don’t know. But if I don’t give you the antidote, you won’t be able to see the sun tomorrow.”

“Eurgh…”

“Don’t waste your energy. This medicine melts as soon as it enters your mouth. Do you feel cold all over now?”

Old Li’s body trembled from the cold. He looked at Chu Luo in horror. “You… who exactly are you?”

“You don’t have to care about who I am. You just have to tell me what you know about the tomb from that year.”

Li Yan had said that he would tell her other things. She planned to ask Li Yan about it when she saw him this time.

Old Li obviously didn’t want to talk about it.

However, he felt his body getting colder and colder. It was clearly summer, but he already had the urge to wrap himself in a blanket.

However, his feet were so numb that they seemed to have grown roots from the cold that he couldn’t move at all.

After another minute, he seemed to hear the blood in his body freeze. Breathing became difficult and he was finally afraid.

“I’ll speak… I’ll speak…”

“Where did you guys go after entering the tomb?”

“I only went to the periphery. The Chu brothers went to the central tomb area.”

“What happened to them?”

When Old Li heard this, his eyes narrowed. It was obvious that he didn’t want to recall what had happened.

“You have five minutes before you’ll be too frozen to speak.”

Old Li quickly said, “They encountered a monster at that time. I even heard that the Chu family’s younger brother got cursed.”

After saying that, his body trembled until it spasmed. “Later on, I realized that something was wrong and ran out of the ancient tomb. At that time, I thought that besides me, everyone else, including the Chu brothers, would die down there. But the older Chu brother actually came out. I really don’t know anything else. Boohoo…”

Chu Luo frowned and thought for a while. She quickly popped another pill into his mouth and left.

As she walked, she warned, “You better forget that I was here. Otherwise, you won’t be able to bear the consequences.”
