Zhong Kui's Diary
The Yellow Dog wagged its tail rapidly and happily ran to my side, rubbing against my feet.
Seriously, do you have to be this cute? I took out a sausage from the Mustard Seed Pendant, peeled off the skin, and placed it in front of the Yellow Dog. The Yellow Dog was instantly overjoyed and devoured the sausage in just a few bites.
"It's an Ancient Fierce Beast! Quick, shoot it!" This time Fang Boda shouted loudly.
I hesitated for a moment. With such a meaty Yellow Dog, I really couldn't believe it was an Ancient Fierce Beast. However, it had clearly emerged only after we broke the Five Absolute Formation. If it wasn't a fierce beast, then what was?
Just as I was pondering, a faint blue light flickered on the Yellow Dog's body. I felt something warm sweep past my head, and then the Yellow Dog spoke: "Fierce beast? What fierce beast? Do you even know how to talk? I'm an Ancient Spirit Beast, so listen carefully—spirit beast!"
Hearing the Yellow Dog say this, I was both surprised and amused. I aimed my gun at it and laughed while cursing, "Damn, you can speak human language?"
"Woof woof! I've copied your language system; human speech is just a piece of cake for me." The Yellow Dog barked twice and continued, "I've been trapped by this damn Five Absolute Formation for so long that I'm about to go crazy with hunger. Hurry up and get me something to eat, or I'll eat you instead."
"Damn, can't you see I'm pointing a gun at you?" I nudged the Yellow Dog's head with the gun.
"Do you really think that stick can hurt me?" The Yellow Dog scoffed.
"Then I'll shoot!"
"Go ahead and shoot; hurry up! If I bark once, it doesn't even count as an Ancient Spirit Beast."
Wow, so confident. Could it really be that powerful? In my astonishment, I lowered my gun and pressed it against the Yellow Dog's belly before pulling the trigger. With a bang, a big hole was blown open in the Yellow Dog's belly. Surprisingly, it didn't make a sound and simply collapsed on the ground, dead.
Is this what an Ancient Fierce Beast is like? I was somewhat stunned. Shouldn't you at least put up a fight before being killed by me? Just dropping dead without a sound doesn't seem right.
However, even though I blew a big hole in it, no blood came out. This did align with its identity as an Ancient Fierce Beast. Next to it lay a yellow ball about the size of a ping pong ball; I wondered if this was its core.
I asked Fang Boda about it, but he wasn't very sure either. He walked over to pick it up and said maybe before holding it in his palm and signaling us to move out.
Seeing Fang Boda and Fang Zhongda turn around, I casually placed the Yellow Dog's corpse along with the shotgun into my Mustard Seed Pendant. It wasn't out of pity that I wanted to bury it; rather, I thought this creature might have some research value and planned to hand it over to Lou Wei for the Ninth Research Institute.
When we reached the Passage, Fang Boda opened the door. Outside were only Wei Ziyi and two other Flower Guk People. Upon seeing us, Wei Ziyi was surprised: "Oh wow, it's only been less than half an hour since you went in, and you've already dealt with an Ancient Fierce Beast? I haven't even finished writing my diary."
Fang Boda handed the yellow ball in his hand to Wei Ziyi, saying, "Is this the inner elixir you wanted?"
Upon seeing the yellow ball, Wei Ziyi's eyes lit up, and she quickly reached out to grab it. However, Fang Boda pulled his hand back. "Where is my child Fang Zhan?"
Wei Ziyi immediately giggled, "Chief, can you give me the inner elixir first?"
"No way! I will not give you the inner elixir until I see Fang Zhan!" Fang Boda declared firmly.
"Oh come on, Chief, we are family; there's no need to be so formal," Wei Ziyi said with a playful smile.
Fang Boda sneered, "You from the Flower Guk Tribe and I from the Black Guk Tribe—family? I can't afford to climb that high. I ask you, Wei Clan Leader, to release my child Fang Zhan as agreed."
Wei Ziyi chuckled, "Fang Village Master, you misunderstood me. When I say family, I mean I'm about to marry into your Black Wind Village. How can we not be family then?"
"You are going to marry into our Black Wind Village?" Fang Boda exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes."
"Absolutely not!" Fang Boda's brows furrowed as he shouted sternly, "People from our Black Guk Tribe cannot marry those from your Flower Guk Tribe! I want to know who you plan to marry!"
"I will!" Fang Xiang, who had been standing nearby, suddenly spoke up.
Fang Xiang's declaration shocked not only Fang Boda and the others but also me.
Amidst our astonished gazes, Fang Xiang stepped forward and wrapped his arm around Wei Ziyi's waist, smiling at Fang Boda as he said, "On an auspicious day three days from now, my wedding with Wei Ziyi will take place."
Fang Boda was furious. "Fang Xiang, did you get my permission for this marriage? Did you get your father's permission? Did you get the elders' permission from our tribe?"
Fang Zhongda coughed lightly and smiled, "Elder brother, I have already agreed to this marriage."
"What? You agreed?" Fang Boda's anger escalated. "Why was I not informed of this? Do you even see me as your elder brother? Do you see me as the village chief?"
Fang Xiang huffed but remained silent. However, Fang Zhongda smiled and said, "Elder brother, do you want to know why I didn't tell you?"
"Why?" Fang Boda glared at Fang Zhongda.
"Because today you will yield to me. Once I become the leader, you won't have to worry about such matters anymore," Fang Zhongda said with a smile.
"Nonsense! How could I possibly yield to you?" Fang Boda was furious.
"Whether you yield or not is not up to you," Fang Zhongda said, unconcerned by Fang Boda's anger. "You and Linzi are both severely injured; do you still have the strength to resist? Hand over the village's golden seal obediently."
Fang Boda took a deep breath. Despite being extremely angry, he gradually calmed down and looked at Fang Zhongda with a cold smile. "Was this whole thing planned by you and Wei Clan Leader from the beginning?"
"That's right!" Fang Zhongda admitted without hesitation.
"You are already the second-in-command, your power is nearly equal to mine. Why go through all this?" Fang Boda asked in a low voice.
"Honestly, I don't care much about being the second-in-command; it's just that I have to think about my son. After you die, the position of leader will naturally be passed on to Fang Zhan. What will happen to my son then? Do you think Fang Zhan will give Fang Xiang the position of second-in-command? They are just cousins, not brothers," Fang Zhongda chuckled.
"And how does Wei Clan Leader fit into this?" Fang Boda glanced at Wei Ziyi.
"Actually, there’s another reason for wanting to take your position as leader. My son has fallen in love with Wei Clan Leader and wants to marry her, but we all know you're too stubborn to agree to this marriage. So, we decided to deceive you into coming to the Five Absolute Formation, use the Puppet of the formation to seriously injure you, and then taking the leader's position would be a piece of cake."
"You really went through a lot for this. To make me suspicious, you even entered the Five Absolute Formation with me and got injured together," Fang Boda narrowed his eyes, a glint of brilliance flashing in them as he looked at Fang Zhongda. "No wonder you were so eager to encourage me to break the formation from the start; it turns out this was your plan. I suspect that Fang Zhan didn't enter Wild Boar Mountain Peak on his own but was captured by you and framed."
"It was quite unexpected that we managed to capture Fang Zhan. I don't know how he got himself into such a predicament, climbing up Wild Boar Mountain Peak alone only to be caught by traps. As for why he went up there, that's puzzling," Fang Zhongda laughed heartily. "It seems that some things are meant to be; even fate is helping me out. Brother, hand over the village's golden seal obediently."
"Only over my dead body!" Fang Boda snorted coldly.
"Then go ahead and die," Fang Zhongda turned to Wei Ziyi and said, "Ziyi, just call someone to kill him."
"This won't do!" Unexpectedly, Wei Ziyi smiled sweetly and refused Fang Zhongda. "Uncle Fang, this is your family matter; it can only be resolved by yourselves."
After a pause, Wei Ziyi continued, "Anyway, you're both injured; he can't do anything to you, right? The two of you should be able to handle him together."
Fang Xiang frowned immediately. "Ziyi..."
Wei Ziyi's expression turned cold. "Our relationship is one thing, but the relationship between Black Guk and Flower Guk is another. Only when your father sits in the position of chief and announces the merger of the two families will my subordinates be convinced. Until then, I will not intervene... However, I can give you a dagger." With that, he ordered his subordinate to hand a gleaming dagger to Fang Zhongda.
Fang Zhongda took the dagger and smiled slyly. "Child, Ziyi is right. Now that we are all seriously injured, do you think the two of us can't deal with him?"
Just as the two approached Fang Boda, ready to strike, I couldn't bear to watch any longer and wanted to help. Wei Ziyi seemed to have anticipated my move and said with a playful smile, "Mr. Zhong, it's best if you don't interfere in the grievances between our Guk Tribe. If you make a move, my Bai Ke won't hold back."
I glanced at the Silver Crown Snake entwined in her hair, sighed bitterly, and stood aside without saying anything further.
Fang Zhongda walked up to Fang Boda and without hesitation swung the dagger towards Fang Boda's heart. His attack was swift and ruthless, as if Fang Boda were an irreconcilable enemy.
Ah, why must we harm our own kind?
Fang Boda, however, wore a cold smile. He waited until Fang Zhongda's dagger was almost at his chest before slightly shifting his body. Given his movement, he could not avoid this strike.
Thud!
The dagger plunged directly into Fang Boda's side, blood immediately gushing out along the blade's groove. Linzi nearby let out a gasp but was too injured to use Black Magic. Meanwhile, both Fang Zhongda and Fang Xiang displayed expressions of wild joy.
