Zhong Kui's Diary
In a moment of speechlessness, I didn't know how to respond to Liu An's level of conversation, whether it was about palace intrigue or the legend of the dragon. Could I sing "Above the Moon"?
Seeing that I was silent, Liu An continued, "After I attained enlightenment, I left a trace of consciousness here to guard this seal. Ordinary people cannot enter the core area at all. For example, Xu Wuji and others didn't need me to take action; the mouse guards hunted them down. However, I never expected that the descendants of the Gao Family would discover this Black Mountain Ancient Prison, and they actually devised the Nine Yin Soul Capture technique to unlock Bixi's seal."
At this point, Liu An raised an eyebrow, a hint of approval crossing his face. "Once the seal was broken, Bixi's aura surged forth. Without its true form, my trace of consciousness couldn't withstand Bixi's presence. To put it bluntly, I couldn't even defeat those two girls. Fortunately, you are Xu Wuji; we managed to ambush them while they were unprepared."
"Damn it, after all this, I ended up being your accomplice. But how do you know so much about Xu Wuji?" I cursed under my breath to show my displeasure. Yet inside, I was calculating: if Liu An couldn't defeat Qingcheng and Youdi, should I try a friendly duel with him? But what if his strength lay in spells instead? Maybe it was better to stick to the original plan.
"I just had a chat with him before he died; he told me everything and even asked me to help him get revenge. Ha ha, he didn't realize that all those mouse guards were raised by me until his death." Liu An sneered. "Revenge? I really don't know where he got such deep resentment from. By the way, you already know a lot; is there anything else you want to know?"
"Just one last question," I suddenly said with a sly smile. "You seem to have mentioned that within a ten-meter radius, Bixi's aura can immobilize people. Don't you think you're too close to Bixi right now?"
Liu An looked at me in shock, then seemed to realize what I was implying. His expression turned extremely ugly as he attempted to retreat. I wouldn't give him the chance to back away; smiling, I removed the yellow paper from Bixi's head. In an instant, the talisman in the air vanished completely, and the golden aura in the hall disappeared at once.
That's right; this was my plan. As long as I uncovered the talisman on Bixi's head, its aura would immobilize him.
"Hahaha!" I laughed triumphantly. "I thought of this move long ago; it's just that I wanted to learn more before dragging this out for so long!"
"You! You! You actually deceived me, you liar!" Liu An's face turned ashen as he pointed at me with trembling fingers, looking like an ignorant young man who had been tricked by a wealthy woman into a hotel room only to wake up and find his virginity lost.
"Hahahahahaha." My triumphant laughter quickly stopped because I sensed something was off.
Wasn't he supposed to be immobilized? How could he still point at me?
"How can your hand move?" I asked, stunned.
"Damn, you found me out. My acting skills still need improvement," Liu An said, looking disappointed with an exaggerated expression.
"You beast, how dare you toy with me?" I retorted angrily. "Isn't the aura of this Bixi supposed to immobilize you?"
"Just that? You actually believed it?" Liu An looked at me as if I were foolish, chuckling. "Besides, I didn't lie to you. I would indeed be immobilized after materializing, but unfortunately, I'm in a state of consciousness right now."
Beast! Still toying with me!
"What do you really want?" I squinted at Liu An, but my mind was racing. It seemed I had learned a spell called Transforming Illusions into Reality; it was effective against spirits. I wondered if it would work on this conscious form of Liu An.
Whatever, I'll just try it.
I silently recited the spell and slowly walked toward Liu An.
Liu An didn't care that I was getting closer; he continued talking non-stop. "What do I want? Is that even a question? Of course, I want to seal this old turtle again. However, I have to wait until this Copper Pillar completely melts before I can re-seal it. This time, I'm going to use a giant Copper Pillar. Naturally, you guys will have to be silenced; otherwise, you'll just come after me again with the Nine Yin Soul Capture. I don't have enough Copper Pillars to melt. Hey, why are you standing so close? Are we that familiar?"
I tentatively poked Liu An's arm with my finger. To my surprise and delight, it felt solid. Without hesitation, I kicked him.
Clearly, Liu An was shocked that I could touch him; he didn't react in time and was kicked two meters away.
I immediately jumped on top of Liu An and started throwing punches left and right with great enthusiasm. I was incredibly happy—not just because I could hit Liu An, but also because his combat power was far inferior to mine. What is he? Just a wisp of consciousness? How impressive can he be? I'm hitting you!
Watching Liu An cover his head and dodge left and right filled me with indescribable satisfaction, like pulling a cold beer from the fridge in summer or enjoying a pot of boiling lamb at a night market in winter... A slogan involuntarily popped into my head: this feeling is simply unbelievable.
"Stop!" Liu An shouted.
"Stop your nonsense! Aren't you trying to kill me? Come on, do it! Don't hold back just because I'm a beautiful flower!" I retorted, hitting him even harder.
It's clear that I've got Liu An in a tight spot now. If you have the guts, show me your true form! Once you do, you'll be frozen in place by Bixi's aura, and then I'll keep hitting you! If you don't transform, well, I'm currently beating you up!
"Stop hitting me! If you keep this up, I'll be done for!" Liu An's shouts began to turn into desperate cries.
I paused for a moment and took a closer look. Oh right, his figure was starting to fade from my blows.
With a laugh, I unleashed a flurry of punches, hitting him even harder. You want to be done for? That's exactly what I intend to do. As I intensified my assault, Liu An's cries became more frantic. With the cacophony of his wails echoing around us, his figure grew fainter until finally, with one last punch, I struck nothing but air—Liu An had been completely obliterated.
"Damn, finally got rid of him!" I panted for a moment before finding a red talisman among the pile of yellow paper on the ground. I stuck it back on Bixi's head and glanced around before walking over to Qingcheng and Youdi. Looking at the two women, I felt a bit at a loss.
Oh no, I should have asked Liu An how to lift their Restrictions earlier. It's too late to regret now; maybe I should try to figure out how to lift the Restrictions myself.
After all, paths are made by walking them, right?
I approached the two women and cleared my throat. Deciding to experiment on Youdi first since we weren't very familiar with each other, it would be easier to handle. I reached out and pressed on her acupoint a couple of times—no reaction; then I pressed her temples and rubbed around her eyes—still no effect; I tapped on the Baihui acupoint on top of her head several times—nothing…
Instead, my random pressing seemed to make Youdi's eyes flash with embarrassment and urgency as she blinked rapidly.
What are you blinking for? I'm trying to save you here! I don't mind; why are you so concerned? Well, it seems like there's no effect on Youdi. Should I try someone else?
I moved over to Qingcheng and smiled as I said, "That girl might not have fully developed yet; some techniques might not work on her. Let me try on you instead."
Xiao Qingcheng blinked.
Right, although they couldn't speak, they could still blink. Thinking of this, I suddenly felt delighted: "Do you know how to break your Restriction? If you do, blink once; if you don't, blink twice."
Xiao Qingcheng slowly blinked twice.
Damn, she actually doesn't know!
I couldn't be bothered to look down on Qingcheng and turned to ask Youdi, repeating what I just said. Youdi surprisingly blinked once. Wow, who would have thought that you, the Yellow-Haired Girl, actually knew how to break Restriction.
"Alright, let's find the correct spot first. I'll point at you; if it's the right place, blink; if not, don't blink. Understood?"
Youdi blinked hard once; it seemed her intelligence wasn't low and she could understand me.
I pointed directly at her left chest: "Is it here?"
A hint of anger appeared on Youdi's face, her eyes wide open, daring not to blink at all.
Tch, what's with this attitude? When I took your Spatial Bag earlier, I touched it too. Of course, that kind of accidental touch is nothing compared to this blatant attempt to take advantage; I'm just playing a prank since you decided to lock me in the Second Third Area.
After pausing for about ten seconds, I pointed at her right chest: "Is it here?"
Not moving my finger from this position, finally, Youdi couldn't help but blink once. I immediately cheered: "Awesome! So it's here; finding this spot was really not easy!"
Youdi's face grew even angrier.
"Hmph, forget it, I won't hold it against you, buddy."
Next, I started poking around her body randomly, and finally, when I reached under her ribcage, Youdi blinked heavily.
I found the spot, and without hesitation, I pinched, poked, twisted, and touched under her ribcage. Youdi's gaze towards me became increasingly unfriendly, and I was also infuriated: "Damn, is this it or not?"
Youdi blinked fiercely. There was no other choice; I had to flick my fingers against her ribcage while singing: "You are my Apple Guo'er, no matter how much I love you, it's never too much. Your rosy cheeks warm my heart; if you don't move soon, I'll be on fire..."
Just as I was reaching a climax in my song, Youdi's body moved slightly. The moment she moved, I immediately reacted and took a big step back while raising my hands in front of me. Sure enough, Youdi's furious slap was blocked by me.
"Hey, you should focus on the main issue; this Copper Pillar is now as thin as a bucket." I pointed at the Copper Pillar on Bixi to divert her attention.
Youdi shot me a fierce glare before walking over to Qingcheng and untying the Restriction on her. Qingcheng also glared at me fiercely.
Wow, your elbow actually turned outward.
