Zhong Kui's Diary
What kind of people are they? For their own selfish desires, they don't hesitate to turn against their own kin. First, the brothers Fang Boda and Fang Zhongda killed each other, then Fang Xiang watched helplessly as his father and uncle perished together without offering any help. In the end, Fang Zhan openly admitted that he was the one who secretly instigated the conflict between his uncle and father.
While I look down on them, I also feel pity for them. What is the point of such people living in this world? What are they even living for?
I glanced at Linzi, whose face was pale, and a question flashed through my mind: "I'm curious about one thing. Why would you choose a flirtatious woman over an unparalleled beauty like Linzi right in front of you? I really can't understand it."
Then I smiled at Wei Ziyi and said, "Sorry, I'm not very good at conversation. If I've offended you in any way, feel free to hit me."
At this point, I had already torn off the mask and was prepared for mutual destruction. As soon as they turned hostile, I would pull out my submachine gun and shoot, even if it meant getting bitten by the Silver Crown Serpent King; I would take them both down.
To my surprise, Wei Ziyi wasn't angry; instead, she smiled at me and cupped her hands in thanks: "Thank you for the compliment."
Fang Zhan looked at me with great sympathy: "That's because you've never interacted with Ziyi, so you don't understand what true allure is."
I glanced at Wei Ziyi and shook my head: "How alluring can she be? Her figure may be attractive, but after a while, it's just like that."
Fang Zhan scoffed: "Ziyi can control every muscle in her body at will. You should understand now."
Hearing Fang Zhan say this reminded me of when I had gripped Wei Ziyi's neck earlier; her neck and arms suddenly became soft and pliable. Now that I think about it, it must have been due to her ability to control her muscles. But what does that have to do with allure?
Then I quickly thought of something: if Wei Ziyi could control certain muscles at will, well, that would certainly be most alluring for a man. No wonder Fang Zhan disregarded the beautiful Linzi after tasting Wei Ziyi.
It seems that the possibility of Fang Zhan being possessed by Chaos is almost nonexistent. I sighed bitterly and asked, "So why did you act crazy at Star City University and suddenly become so reckless?"
"I initially wanted to keep a low profile, but later on, I wanted Fang Xiang and the others to think I was enchanted by worldly pleasures so they would lower their guard against me. That's why I exaggerated my behavior," Fang Zhan said with a wicked smile.
So that's how it is. I'm extremely frustrated; why couldn't you have exaggerated your behavior a month earlier? Why did it have to be during the time when the Dark Sorcerer was released? It forced me to travel all this way only to get caught up in your chaotic internal strife.
"Besides that, there's another reason," Fang Zhan continued. "In Star City, there's a woman named Chili who keeps tempting me, making it hard for me to resist."
Wei Ziyi playfully poked Fang Zhan's forehead: "Did you wear protection?"
Fang Zhan proudly wrapped his arm around Wei Ziyi's shoulder: "Don't worry, dear. With three layers of protection, no matter how much there is, I'm not afraid."
Wei Ziyi playfully punched Fang Zhan's chest twice, pretending to be displeased.
I couldn't care less about Wei Ziyi's generosity, my mind was in a fog. What was going on with this chili pepper? Why did she let Fang Zhan act recklessly three months ago, and why did she have a relationship with Wang Teng? And then, why was she killed by the man in black? What secrets were there that I didn't know?
Fang Zhan turned to look at me and continued, "Because the Five Absolute Formation requires five experts, I've been anxious about finding the last one. When I received Wang Teng's call, I was a bit puzzled. Later, I called him to ask and learned of your reputation as an expert. I thought I'd bring you in. However, Ziyi was suspicious of your skills, which is why she tested you at the foot of the mountain."
Damn, so it was you testing us at the foot of the mountain. I said gloomily, "I suppose the results of that test satisfied you?"
"Honestly, I was a bit disappointed at first because you couldn't even handle three Puppets. At least you managed to escape from the trap in the end; otherwise, I would have had someone fill it in after a while." Wei Ziyi chuckled, "But it's good this way; you actually got involved with Linzi. That was an unexpected surprise. We were initially worried about how to introduce you to Fang Boda."
"Alright, I've told you everything you need to know. Now, just smile and go to your grave," Fang Zhan said as he glanced at Linzi with a wicked grin. "By the way, dear, how about using Linzi as a maid? When you come for your aunt's visit, I won't be left with nothing to do, right?"
Wei Ziyi pouted and huffed, "Don't even think about it! You're mine alone."
Fang Zhan laughed heartily, "Sure, sure, I'm yours alone. So what are you waiting for? Hurry up and let them have it!"
Hearing Fang Zhan say this, I quickly reached for the Mustard Seed Pendant, thinking it would be better to strike first. I pulled out my Submachine Gun to take them down first; even if the Silver Crown Serpent King bit me to death afterward, I wouldn't regret it.
However, when I reached out, I found nothing but emptiness where my gun should have been. The Mustard Seed Pendant was in disarray; everything inside had been turned upside down. Forget about the Submachine Gun; I couldn't even find a sturdy stick. There were torn food wrappers everywhere as if a group of starving refugees had stormed into my Mustard Seed Pendant and ransacked all the food.
What was going on? Just as I was puzzled, something fluffy appeared in my hand. Seeing Wei Ziyi slightly tilt her head and the Silver Crown Snake sticking its tongue out at me with cold eyes made me panic. Without caring what I was holding anymore, I yanked it out and raised it in the air for defense.
A glance revealed that what I had pulled out was actually that dirt dog—the Ancient Spirit Beast that I had shot through with a big hole and killed on the spot.
Just as I was about to toss it aside, I suddenly noticed that the big hole in its belly had disappeared. It was chewing on something in its mouth with a crunching sound. When it saw me looking at it, it casually wriggled free from my grasp and found a spot on my arm to lie down. It crossed its legs and rested its front paws behind its head with lazy eyes that seemed reproachful—as if it were sunbathing on a beach while I interrupted its vacation.
"Damn it! How are you still alive?" I exclaimed in shock.
"Alive? I'm an Ancient Spirit Beast! How could I just die like that?" The Yellow Dog spat out two peanut shells.
"But anything that enters the Mustard Seed Pendant loses its life signs! How can you survive inside?"
"Come on! I'm an Ancient Spirit Beast! Ordinary life signs are nothing to me; otherwise, how could I have survived so long in the Five Absolute Formation?"
"But your inner core got blown out!" I said incredulously. "On TV they say creatures like you die without their inner cores—just like humans without hearts!"
"You’re the creature! Do you really believe everything on TV? They also show people blowing off enemies' heads from eight hundred miles away—do you believe that?" The Yellow Dog seemed uncomfortable lying where it was and crawled up onto my shoulder to find a more comfortable position before lying back down and rubbing its belly. "I have to say; there was so much food back there! That was the best meal I've ever had! How about this: I'll stick with you from now on."
"No way! You should fend for yourself!" I firmly rejected. "What kind of joke is this? The amount of food in there is almost equivalent to a medium-sized supermarket! Just the cookies alone are worth thousands! You finished everything in one go—how can I afford to keep feeding you like this?"
Yellow Dog was about to say something when Wei Ziyi couldn't hold back any longer and laughed, "You two seem to be having a great time. Let me take you to Yama so you can chat slowly."
As she finished speaking, she flicked her hair slightly, and the Silver Crown Snake shot towards my throat like lightning.
Just as I was horrified and instinctively raised my hand to block it, the Yellow Dog leaped into the air like a flash and caught the Silver Crown Snake, tying it in a bow before tossing it to the ground. It then landed on the ground and stomped on the Silver Crown Snake twice, cursing, "Damn it, didn't you see I was talking? How dare you cause trouble? You really don't know when to quit."
For a moment, my mouth hung open in shock, unable to utter a word. Damn, the Silver Crown Serpent King, whom I deeply feared, was treated like a toy by this Yellow Dog. Moreover, after being stomped on twice by the Yellow Dog, the Silver Crown Snake was left with a shattered head and clearly dead.
What the hell? The Silver Crown Snake, which could withstand dozens of blows from a Great Hammer without a scratch, was actually killed by this Yellow Dog with just two stomps. Is there any reason for this?
The Yellow Dog stood upright, brushed off the dust from its front paws, turned to me, and rolled its tongue around in its mouth before smacking its lips. "Where were we? ... Actually, I eat very little. I just had a lot inside to replenish what I consumed during my confinement. Now that I've replenished everything, I can eat normally from now on... By the way, there was something really delicious inside that I don't know the name of. I've never eaten it before."
"I have so many things in my Mustard Seed Pendant, how would I know which one is yours?" I replied irritably.
"It was a Round Can shaped tin box with a few fish inside." The Yellow Dog extended its two front paws to illustrate a circle.
