Zhong Kui's Diary
It's over; this Gugu might mess up my plans. But there's no point in worrying about that now; the most important thing is to discuss matters with Sha Zhiyuan first.
Gugu brought me to the door of Sha Zhiyuan's office and said, “Sha Zhiyuan is right inside. You can go in by yourself.”
I smiled and replied, “Thank you! Aren't you going in to listen? He might tell me the whereabouts of the Yin-Yang Ancient Coin.”
“If I want to listen, I can do so anytime,” Gugu said with a smile as he opened the door, nodded at me, and turned to leave.
Right, I almost forgot. For someone like a Grandmaster-level Expert, sneaking around to eavesdrop on our conversation is really child's play. So how can I communicate with Sha Zhiyuan without being overheard by these Demons?
The office was small and simple, with a desk, a bookshelf, a water dispenser, a coffee table, and two sofas. A middle-aged man sat behind the desk. Although he tried hard to appear energetic, the bloodshot eyes betrayed him. This middle-aged man was the same person I had seen at the late-night snack stall that evening—Sha Zhiyuan.
Upon seeing me, Sha Zhiyuan frowned slightly and paused for a moment before standing up to greet me. “Sorry, you look very familiar, but I can't quite remember where I've seen you before.”
“We met one night while having barbecue; we drank a case of beer!” I laughed heartily. “We were all quite Confused, so it's understandable that you don't remember.”
Sha Zhiyuan slapped his forehead and smiled in realization. “Oh, it's you! Now I remember.”
He poured me a cup of warm water from the dispenser and sat down on the sofa. “I don't have any tea sets here; that stuff just wastes time.”
“I usually drink plain water too,” I replied with a smile.
After chatting for a bit, Sha Zhiyuan asked, “What brings you here?”
I decided to get straight to the point. “Boss Sha, I heard you have a Yin-Yang Ancient Coin?”
Upon hearing this, Sha Zhiyuan's expression changed; his eyes became complex, filled with both vigilance and anger. “What do you mean by that?”
“I was just asking casually; no other intentions,” I said with a smile.
“Is there no other meaning?” Sha Zhiyuan suddenly became agitated. “You people who want the Yin-Yang Ancient Coin are forcing me to sell my company and divorce my wife. What do you really want? I have already lost my family, what more do you want from me?”
“…”
Feeling that he was too emotional, Sha Zhiyuan took a deep breath, stood up, and said coldly, “There’s nothing more to discuss. As for the Yin-Yang Ancient Coin, I have nothing to say.”
Tsk tsk, how should I approach him? I thought about how Yun Zhihan and Gugu might be nearby, and everything I said would be heard by them. My heart was in turmoil.
Is there any way to find a place they can’t enter?
Then I chuckled bitterly; they are Demons, what place can they not enter?
Hmm… it seems there is one place they wouldn’t go.
I suddenly remembered my four golden spheres. Right, there are still four Mystical Realms! I am the master of the Mystical Realm. If I pull Sha Zhiyuan in to talk, with me there, the Mystical Realm won’t harm him. Most importantly, even if Sha Zhiyuan and I talk for a long time inside, when we come out it will only take an instant; Yun Zhihan and the others definitely won’t react in time.
With this thought in mind, I pretended to shake my head and sighed, “Alright then, since that’s the case, I’ll take my leave.”
Sha Zhiyuan snorted, “No need to see you off!”
I smiled and said, “At least let me treat you to a beer before I go. A handshake wouldn’t hurt, right?”
Sha Zhiyuan looked at me sideways but eventually reluctantly extended his hand. As I grasped Sha Zhiyuan's palm with one hand, my other hand swiftly pulled out a golden sphere and touched it to his hand. Focusing my mind for a moment, in an instant, Sha Zhiyuan and I entered the Mystical Realm—this Mystical Realm was the Wind Realm—Wind Sweeping Away the Clouds.
As soon as we entered, a voice exclaimed, “Master, you brought someone to visit today? Oh dear, you didn’t give me a heads up; I haven’t even brushed my teeth yet!”
“I brought a friend to take a look; just stay quiet!” I ordered casually; after all, I am the master here.
Sha Zhiyuan looked around in astonishment at everything as if he were experiencing the Mystical Realm for the first time. His eyes were filled with wonder and disbelief. The scenery around us kept changing; just moments ago it was an endless expanse of yellow sand with strong winds stirring up clouds of dust. The next moment it transformed into a tumultuous sea with hurricanes raising waves dozens of meters high…
“Wind Rooster! Can we have a gentle breeze?” I shouted.
“I’m doing this to enhance your protagonist aura. Such a grand scene helps elevate your glorious image, yet... good intentions are taken for granted,” the voice sighed helplessly. The scene suddenly transformed into a lush green meadow filled with colorful flowers, with vibrant butterflies flitting among the blooms. Occasionally, a light breeze would sweep through, causing the entire sea of flowers to ripple.
“Alright, Boss Sha, now we can chat without Concern.” I cleared my throat lightly.
“What is this place, and who are you?”
“You don’t need to know what this place is, but I can assure you that those people cannot enter here.” I smiled mysteriously, trying to appear impressive.
“What do you mean? Who are those people of yours?” Sha Zhiyuan hesitated before asking.
Not wanting to waste time, I directly explained the whole situation: why your company was suppressed, why your wife was using drugs, and why Yun Zhihan, as a Grandmaster-level Expert, was coveting this Yin Yang Ancient Coin. I told him everything in detail.
Sha Zhiyuan’s teeth were grinding together, and his fists were clenched tightly. After I finished, he finally let out a loud scream: “Ah——————”
He screamed for about ten seconds before squatting on the ground, covering his face with his hands, crying like a child.
“Master, is your guest insane?” Wind Rooster’s voice rang in my ear.
“He’s just overly emotional and needs to cry to release it. Once he’s done, he’ll calm down,” I replied casually. Seeing that Sha Zhiyuan had no intention of stopping anytime soon, I turned to Wind Rooster: “Is your Restriction really that flimsy?”
“What do you mean?” Wind Rooster immediately became anxious.
“Come on, claiming to be a Grandmaster Level Restriction, but its power isn’t impressive at all. Last time with that guy, Flower Attacker, it took just two hits for him to spit out blood. To put it bluntly, that amount of blood isn’t even enough for a bowl of spicy blood stew.” I scoffed. “How can you call yourselves Grandmaster Level? Uh, does your Master-Level certification have any authoritative recognition? It can’t be that you passed by retaking the exam, right?”
Upon hearing this, Wind Rooster laughed: “Master, that’s not fair. You must understand we’re just a magic array, and it’s been restricted; naturally, its power is greatly diminished.”
“Restricted?” I was greatly surprised.
"Don't you find it strange? When the four of us were still at Restriction and Master Level, we could imprison Yazhi, but now that we've upgraded to Grandmaster Level, we are no longer their match," Wind Rooster said with a laugh.
"Yeah, now that you mention it, I do find it strange. What's going on?" I scratched my head and asked.
"Because the four of us need to work together in the Mystical Realm to have power."
"That's simple enough; next time I'll just tie you all together and throw you out," I said happily.
"Master, how can you be so foolish? Such an abstract thing can't possibly be that simple. Uh... it's hard for me to explain with your IQ. In short, we are currently restricted," Wind Rooster said disdainfully.
"You keep saying restricted. What exactly does that mean?"
"Well, this golden sphere is our restriction. If we could merge with your body, our power would at least multiply several times. Just think about it; at that point, every time you make a move, it would be like casting a spell—Tempest, Extreme Ice Sword, Wildfire... various Grandmaster Level spells flying around. Who would still be your opponent then?" Wind Rooster chuckled and added, "That scene would be too intense; I can't even imagine."
Wind Rooster's techniques like Gale Grass are high-level spells within the fourfold Mystical Realm. Hearing him say this made my heart race. If that's the case, my body would become Four Great Mystical Realms. At that point, how could Yun Zhihan or Gugu still be my opponents? One punch for one, two punches for two. Excitedly, I asked, "So is there any way to merge you into my body?"
"I don't know!" Wind Rooster replied with a laugh.
"Damn it, are you messing with me?" I responded unhappily.
"I wouldn't dare, Master." Wind Rooster immediately protested loudly: "I don't know the method, but that doesn't mean others don't know. Why not ask Ice Realm? Before becoming part of the Mystical Realm formation, he was known as the jack-of-all-trades in the martial world."
"Ice Realm? You're talking about an ice pop? He’s actually a jack-of-all-trades?" I was very curious: "Wait, aren't you supposed to have consciousness as part of the formation? Were you captured instead?"
"Woohoo, you've hit a sore spot; it's quite a long story... Back then, the most powerful expert from Yang Realm, Yang Ding, and the most powerful expert from Underworld, Yin Jiu You, fought fiercely over a girlfriend. Since both sides had equal martial and magical power, they could only rely on magical artifacts to win... So they both desperately crafted magical artifacts. We four were captured by Yang Ding and sealed into the Mystical Realm as his magical artifacts," Wind Rooster sighed.
"Yang Ding and Yin Jiu You fighting over a girlfriend?" I couldn't help but laugh and cry at the absurdity of it all. Come on, you guys are also among the strongest in Underworld; can't you do something more reliable?
"If they had fought fiercely and everyone went all out against each other, it wouldn't have been in vain to live freely for a while. But in the end, they reconciled," Wind Rooster chuckled: "Because their girlfriend ended up running off with Judgment of Life and Death."
"Dammit!" I couldn't help but curse; apart from swearing, I really had nothing else to say.
"Let's not get sidetracked. Anyway, go ask Ice Cream if we can leave this Restriction. Honestly, I'm so damn tired of this dull and monotonous life!
"Alright, I'll go out and check." I replied with a smile.
At this moment, Kung Fu and Sha Zhiyuan had already stood up, staring at me as if I were talking to the air.
"How are you feeling? Any better?" I nodded at Sha Zhiyuan.
"Yeah." Sha Zhiyuan tilted his head up, his eyes flickering. "Who are you talking to?"
"You don't need to know that much. Let me ask you one thing: do you want to take revenge for your wife and daughter?"
"Is that even a question?" Sha Zhiyuan looked at me with a strange expression.
"Then you need to cooperate with me! A Grandmaster Level Demon is no joke; we have to use the Yin-Yang Ancient Coin to make something happen." I cleared my throat and continued, "I also want to avenge Litong. She was wronged."
As soon as I mentioned the Yin-Yang Ancient Coin, Sha Zhiyuan looked at me with a wary gaze, falling silent.
