Zhong Kui's Diary
"Go ahead, go ahead. It's a pity I don't have your swimming skills, so I can't visit my father-in-law." Kong Xuan laughed heartily, dodging Ai's hand that was pinching his waist, and loudly asked Zhuo Wei, "By the way, Zhuo Wei, does my father-in-law smoke?"
"He doesn't smoke; he likes to drink and watch movies," Zhuo Wei replied with a smile.
"Then good, bring a few boxes of Moutai down for me!" Kong Xuan said generously. "Also, send my collection of over 900 gigabytes of movies along with that disc to my father-in-law."
"You must be crazy!" Ai knew exactly what those 900 gigabytes of movies contained and angrily tried to pinch Kong Xuan again.
"By the way, when do you plan to see your father?" I asked Ai with a smile.
Ai replied softly, "Later, I'll go buy some things tomorrow."
I really wanted to go with Ai; just buying some instant noodles would be fine. However, what came out instead was another question: "So, Jiang Feiyu wants to see your swimming skills. When will you be available to show him?"
Ai nodded with a smile, "How about next afternoon?"
At four-thirty the next afternoon, I took Jiang Feiyu to the ferry. Before we even reached the ferry, we saw many citizens walking back with gloomy faces. Not knowing what had happened, I randomly grabbed someone to ask, but that person impatiently waved us off and told us to see for ourselves.
Surprised, I hurried to the ferry entrance and saw a pile of broken bricks and dirt in the middle of the road leading to the ferry. A large sign was propped up on top of it with white background and black letters that read: "Notice: Due to excessive fecal contamination detected near River Noodles, Ferry One is closed. Citizens are advised to come back another day for swimming." It also had a big red official seal stamped on it.
Just as I was trying to figure out what was going on, my phone rang. Fatty called to ask if I had arrived yet. I recounted the situation regarding the sign, and Fatty laughed heartily: "I arranged this on purpose; I'm sure you wouldn't want others to see Ai competing with Jiang Feiyu, right?"
I couldn't help but chuckle as I walked down. Fatty, Kong Xuan, Zhuo Wei, and Ai were already waiting for us at the ferry. Ever since learning that Ai was a Dragon Palace Descendant, Zhuo Wei had moved directly to Qifeng Temple to protect the princess closely; I had no objections to that.
"Is she really the champion you all mentioned?" Jiang Feiyu asked Ai with an oddly skeptical expression. It seemed he couldn't believe that this beautiful woman could outperform him in water.
"What's wrong? Do you want to give it a try?" Kong Xuan proudly stood next to Ai.
"Of course!" Jiang Feiyu replied with an expression full of discontent.
"Hey, is everything okay?" Kong Xuan turned back to look at Ai with concern.
Ai smiled lightly and replied, "It should be fine."
Jiang Feiyu snorted, took off his clothes, and walked straight into the water. Perhaps he thought he was moving too slowly or wanted to show off his swimming skills. When the water reached just above his knees, he dove in headfirst. The surface of the water remained undisturbed, but we could see his body swimming about a foot below the surface, darting toward the center of the river like an arrow. It was astonishing; even fish couldn't swim that fast.
Moments later, Jiang Feiyu surfaced in the middle of the river and waved at us, signaling for Ai to come over.
Seeing this, Kong Xuan couldn't help but grab Ai's hand and asked again, "This guy seems really impressive. Are you sure you can handle it?"
Fatty laughed from the side, "Kong Xuan, you're overthinking it. Even if Ai isn't as skilled in swimming as Jiang Feiyu, so what? She's a Moon Attendant! She could just throw a couple of ice blades or something like that; how could Jiang Feiyu possibly be her match?"
Kong Xuan thought about it and realized Fatty had a point, so he let go of Ai's hand.
Ai appeared very confident; she kicked off her sandals and even kept her clothes on, walking into the water in her denim shorts and t-shirt.
One step, two steps, three steps... Ai walked slowly toward the center of the river. Just as the water reached her knees, something surprising happened. Although Ai continued to move forward, the water no longer rose. It felt as if there were countless invisible stakes at the bottom of the river, and Ai was merely stepping on them as she walked gracefully through the water. The river flowed around her as if she were gliding effortlessly like Luo Shen.
Wow, Dragon Palace Descendant is impressive! This move must have made Jiang Feiyu feel intimidated. Although we couldn't see Jiang Feiyu's expression, I imagined his face wouldn't look good.
As Ai strolled to the center of the river, Jiang Feiyu flipped over and dove back into the water. At that moment, Ai began to sink slowly as if someone were supporting her feet from below, her movements exceptionally graceful and natural.
There was no need for a contest; just by looking at their demeanor, it was clear who would win. After seeing Ai display such skill, Jiang Feiyu still wanted to continue competing—he really didn't know his limits. We all laughed and lit cigarettes while discussing what kind of scene would unfold next: Would Jiang Feiyu end up beaten black and blue like a stray dog? Or would he be battered and bruised like a fish that slipped through the net?
Just as we were smiling with anticipation, a loud crash echoed from afar as a column of water shot up from River Noodles. This column was nearly ten meters high, as if someone had dropped a bomb into River Noodles.
Everyone stared in shock; before we could react, two more columns of water erupted from River Noodles. Then everything returned to calm—except for the ripples around River Noodles. I even started to doubt whether what had just happened was real.
"What’s going on?" Kong Xuan exclaimed with his mouth wide open while looking at Zhuo Wei.
"Perhaps this Jiang Feiyu is too slippery, and the princess has no choice but to cast a Spell... uh... I'll go down and check the situation." Zhuo Wei hurriedly walked towards the Star River.
"I'll go too!" I spat out the cigarette butt in my mouth and followed Zhuo Wei.
Before the two of us could enter the water, a sudden Splash erupted from the center of the river, and then Jiang Feiyu emerged from the Splash, waving at us, before swimming towards us like a fish.
From a distance, it seemed that he was carrying someone with his other hand. Although we couldn't see that person's face clearly, we immediately thought of who it could be—there was no one else but Ai.
As Jiang Feiyu swam closer, when he was about seven or eight meters away from us, he hoisted the person onto his shoulder. Indeed, it was Ai.
"Jiang Feiyu, what is going on?" Kong Xuan shouted sternly.
"You all back off a bit!" Jiang Feiyu held Ai with his left hand while placing his right hand on Ai's head, slowly walking ashore. "If anyone doesn't listen, I'll smash this girl."
Under the threat, we had no choice but to step back five or six meters. At this moment, no one would doubt that Jiang Feiyu could easily kill Ai with a single strike.
"Who exactly are you?" I asked in a low voice.
However, as one of the Moon Attendants, her magical power was even above that of Kong Xuan, just a step away from being a Grandmaster Level expert. The fact that Jiang Feiyu could capture Ai meant that even if it was a sneak attack, his Level was definitely not lower than hers.
Looking closely, I saw that Ai's eyes were tightly closed, and her chest was faintly rising and falling as if she were asleep. It seemed she wasn't in any serious danger, which made me feel slightly relieved.
Jiang Feiyu placed Ai beside his feet and flipped his palm over to reveal a piece of yellow paper with several red runes on it. It appeared to be a talisman.
Smiling, he stuck the talisman on Ai's forehead and then looked up to say, "This talisman is called 'Ninety Earth Golden Light Thunderbolt Bodhisattva Shaking Head Fearful Arhat Waving Tail Running Towards Pure Land Incantation.' To put it simply, it's a bomb. As long as I point with my Spell, it will explode. As for the power of the explosion... well, it's not too big; just enough to blow someone's head off. So, what do you say, Kong Xuan, want to give it a try?"
Kong Xuan snorted and said nothing.
"Not easy, not easy at all. I've finally caught a Dragon Palace Descendant. All these years of effort have not been in vain. Hahaha..." Jiang Feiyu laughed heartily and then shook his left arm as if it felt somewhat unnatural.
Seeing Jiang Feiyu's actions and recalling his words, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind, and I hesitated to ask, "You... are that mysterious person?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Feiyu turned to look at me, one eyebrow raised in surprise. "What nonsense are you talking about? What mysterious person?"
"You are the one who killed Ghost Zombie, right? You also killed Gugu and Qu Wubing, didn't you? You set up the formation on Turtle Chancellor, right? And you were the one who got injured on your left arm by us on Jigong Mountain, weren't you?" I almost blurted out.
"That's correct, all answers are spot on. Plus ten points," Jiang Feiyu said, shaking his left hand and clicking his tongue. "Do you want to take revenge for them? Come on, come kill me! I'm sincerely looking for death!"
Looking at Jiang Feiyu's arrogant expression, I was speechless. Damn, you've already taken Ai hostage; do we dare to confront you? Even if you hadn't taken Ai hostage, we might not be your match anyway.
I sighed bitterly, "What exactly do you want?"
Jiang Feiyu raised an eyebrow. "Over twenty years ago, I started preparing for all of this—collecting seven Yin Yang Ancient Coins, finding Ruyi Jingu Bang, and then absorbing the energy of the Sun God. By then, hahahaha, even the Judgment of Life and Death won't be a concern for me."
After laughing a few times, Jiang Feiyu continued, "Because I couldn't find the location of the Dragon Palace, I set up a formation on Turtle Chancellor to try to find out the whereabouts of Ruyi Jingu Bang. But unexpectedly, over twenty years have passed, and that guy has never mentioned the term Ruyi Jingu Bang."
That's because they refer to Ruyi Jingu Bang as the water stick. I snorted coldly. "Then what's your deal with participating in this Dragon Palace Championship?"
Jiang Feiyu smiled. "Because I know Zhuo Wei, who is the captain of the security team at the Dragon Palace. So from the beginning, I knew this event aimed to find the descendants of the Dragon King. Initially, I planned to become the champion of the Dragon Palace Championship, then have Zhuo Wei take me into the Dragon Palace to find Ruyi Jingu Bang. For that purpose, I didn't hesitate to kill Cheng Hao and Luo Jinyun to reduce my competition. Later, I realized it wasn't necessary; first of all, they wouldn't affect my ranking, and secondly, killing them would only raise your suspicions."
