Chapter 381: Chapter 381: What Was Asked
Purple Summers was taken aback…
She didn’t know Jane McCain as well as she knew Zara Jameson but she did have some gist. Nevertheless, it struck her as unbelievable that Jane could swallow such unclean water.
The ash from the burned yellow paper was mainly carbon, which didn’t really matter if ingested, but drinking too much of the cinnabar used for drawing symbols could lead to lead poisoning.
Of course, even if poisoned, the dose was hardly fatal; diarrhoea at worst.
As Purple dazedly blanked out, the sorceress asked again, “To divine or to ask a question?”
She gathered herself and sat up straight, “Ask a question.”
She paid by card for a fixed price.
“How can I see a ghost?” Purple asked.
Jane was stunned, turning to Purple in surprise – she hadn’t expected this question at all!
Normally, the men who came here asked for ways to get promotions and wealth, and the women asked about love and children. Why would Purple ask such a question?! Unexpectedly, it seemed Purple’s curiosity was even greater than hers!
Purple glanced at Jane, then explained to the sorceress, “We plan to use a spirit board tonight, to see what it’s like. Can you help us with that?”
The sorceress’s face remained impassive, only tapping gently on the table again.
Was this…a request for extra payment?
Purple thought it was quite expensive, as she had gotten no answers yet, but had already spent several hundred yuan.
After she paid, the sorceress once again pulled out a piece of yellow paper from the stack at her waist, drew peculiar symbols on it, burned it to ashes then mixed it in water for Purple to drink.
Purple downed it more decisively than Jane, finishing most of the bowl in one gulp-
The sorceress said, “Prepare a cup of wine tonight, drink half of it and splash the rest in the southwest corner of the room, then summon the spirit. Your wishes will be fulfilled.”
Purple smiled, “Thanks sorceress.”
As Purple and Jane left the sorceress’s house, Zara Jameson and Ryan Wesley who were waiting outside immediately approached and asked, “How was it? Was the sorceress accurate?”
Purple gave a faint smile and vaguely replied, “Hmm, not bad, I guess.”
She seemed to be in high spirits, walking with a cheerful smile up front.
Jane, who was following behind, hushed Zara and Ryan and said, “You would never guess what Purple asked the sorceress!”
“What did she ask?”
“She actually asked how to see ghosts!” Jane rubbed her arms nervously, “And she also mentioned that we’re playing spirit board tonight! I mean… I kinda want to play too…”
Ryan Wesley said, “Why not? Once I buy that knife, I’m game for anything you guys want to play.”
Jane gave him a disdainful look.
Zara caught up with Purple and hooked her arm, “Purple, are you really going to play spirit board tonight?…Hey? Why is your sleeve all wet?”
Zara pulled away her hand, which was now soaked.
Purple seemed unfazed and smiled, “Oh, I accidentally got wet. I’m going to change my clothes back at the hotel, you guys go ahead.”
Zara shook her head,”I’ 11 accompany you back.”
Purple looked at her curiously, “There are still many attractions left to visit, the Fox Spirit Temple, the enchantment formation on the mountain – aren’t you going to see them?”
Zara glanced at the young couple behind her and whispered to Purple, “Being with them feels like being a third wheel.”
Purple burst out laughing, “Alright, alright, let’s go back together!”
Now Jane wasn’t happy, “If you guys all leave, I’ll be stuck here alone with this giant fool, how boring.”
Ryan grunted, “You speak as if I’m eager to spend time with you.”
Just as the two were about to argue, it ended up with all four of them heading back to the inn together.
Purple, feeling helpless and too busy to meddle in their bickering, just shrugged out of her jacket once they reached the inn, took a pair of scissors, and cut off her soaked sleeves.
“Purple… what on earth are you doing?” Both girls in the room stared in astonishment.
