Boss Zhou hadn’t been flustered at all until he heard Lawyer An’s explanation. He suddenly started to panic. Sweat dripped from his forehead.
Lawyer An was guilty because he truly felt he was.
Bai Yingying was guilty because she was a zombie.
This was a crime with a legal basis. As for Zhou Ze,
If Xiezhi recognized Zhou Ze, the law wouldn’t be enforced impartially.
He was guilty of using public power to seek personal revenge and gain.
It was difficult for even a person to enforce the law impartially in this day and age, let alone an animal.
The Netherworld Sea…
A vegetarian meal for the dead…
Who was he talking about exactly?! This was bullsh*t!
Boss Zhou still had it.
Zhou Ze did not think that Xiezhi would be amiable in the face of the Master who had turned his handsome existence into a Unicorn in the past.
Then, he would find a midnight snack stall and go for three or five bottles like he was meeting a friend.
“Roar!”
Little Monkey let out another roar. It still had a tough attitude even though it was facing the Divine Beast’s doppelganger. At the very least, he did not know what it meant to be a coward regardless of whether he had just lost or not.
Perhaps this was the nature that existed in the depths of the monkey’s heart.
“Bang!”
A punch was thrown by the monkey. The Divine Beast’s head was slightly tilted. The monkey took the opportunity to get up but it could pull away, the Divine Beast turned and smashed into the monkey’s body.
“Boom!”
The monkey was sent flying backward. Its body dripped with blood.
A red light appeared at the Divine Beast’s horn. It instantly pierced through the monkey’s body. The monkey looked like a kite with a broken string as it flew. It fell to the ground dejectedly and landed in front of Zhou Ze and the others.
The Divine Beast’s doppelganger was not something that a demon monkey that had barely recovered its vitality could fight against.
Lawyer An knelt down and lowered his head. He was praying that Xiezhi would treat him as nothing and just let him go.
He had already been deprived of his literary background. He was already miserable enough in the eyes of the world. If Xiezhi continued to pursue the matter, it would only ruin his reputation as if he had beaten up a drowning dog.
This was the reason why there was no one in Hell that came out and declared that they wanted to kill him on behalf of the Heavens.
However, in the eyes of the law, he could not live up to the crime he had committed in the past. It was a capital crime!
Xiezhi could not enforce impartial law and get away with it. Xiezhi was only a shadow, though. It should not pursue him, right?
Bai Yingying’s expression turned ugly, but she held on firmly. Her existence was the original sin but her guilt was nothing compared to Lawyer An’s who had committed a real crime. After all, birth was not something that she could decide on her own.
Bai Yingying took a step forward and stood in front of Zhou Ze. One hand was covering her chest and the other was on the ground. She would protect her boss no matter what. It was regardless of whether the boss was injured or not.
Boss Zhou did not push Bai Yingying away. He did not say, “A man can’t let a woman stand in front of him.” How could he bother to be so pretentious at such a time?
‘He can’t see me. He can’t see me. He definitely can’t see me.’ Boss Zhou repeated in his heart. Zhou Ze had seen his old acquaintance inside his body at Pingchao Middle School. It seemed to be a high-level existence in Hell. It was dangerous at that time. Especially because his old acquaintance said that she had been raped by the person inside his body.
Fortunately, she did not make things difficult for Zhou Ze. Maybe because some old feelings were invoked by that incident or rather, she was too lazy to take revenge at that time. She even gave Zhou Ze the Yin-yang book and told him that she would wait for him to visit her in Hell one day.
It was just a false alarm that time. Now it was different.
Zhou Ze felt that it was a little difficult to breathe looking at Xiezhi’s horn. To think about it from another perspective, how much hatred and resentment would there be if one of his horns was broken and he was made to look like a Unicorn for thousands of years?
Especially if every time he saw his statue, the hatred would grow deeper! The hatred that had been accumulating for thousands of years.
Tsk Tsk.
Fortunately, Haechi did not even look at him from the beginning to the end. It was not known whether it was because Haechi was just a shadow and did not have the ability to think or because the person inside Zhou Ze’s body was well hidden.
The monkey stood up again. Many parts of its body were exposed down to the white bones. The dense demonic energy kept circling.
“Roar!” The monkey continued to roar in a threatening manner.
He did not have the life of the great sage but he had the illness of the great sage.
“Run!” Zhou Ze shouted at the monkey.
The only option left for the monkey was to run for now.
However, the monkey glanced at the police station. Then, he fixed his eyes on Xiezhi, who was blocking him. He rushed over again!
Suddenly there was a bright light deep in Xiezhi’s eyes. There was real emotion in his eyes this time. It was a kind of contempt.
“Bang!”
A foot fell. The monkey held on with one arm but it lasted for less than three seconds. The monkey knelt down.
“Buzz!”
The horn directly pierced down. The monkey rolled away and then grabbed the horn.
“Boom!”
A loud sound rang out. The monkey was blasted apart. It was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside. It fell to the ground. Green smoke rose from its body.
The Unicorn revealed an angry expression. An evil creature repeatedly provoked itself. Did it really think that it was just a statue?!
The monkey was completely unable to fight. Its body began to shrink. The bloody light in its eyes slowly faded away. It returned to the appearance of the Little Monkey.
It was initially full of hostility. Now, it lay on the ground helplessly. It could only make small “Zhi… zhi… zhi…” sounds.
Xiezhi walked step by step towards the monkey. It would send this evil creature that had offended it to the execution platform!
The Little Monkey turned its head. Its watery eyes swept towards Zhou Ze and the others behind it. It was not asking for help. Its eyes were filled with guilt.
It knew very well that its own actions had brought great trouble to the people in the bookstore.
Zhou Ze looked at this scene and frowned deeply.
Bai Yingying turned to look at Zhou Ze and said, “Boss, should I go and save him?”
As long as Zhou Ze gave the order, Bai Yingying would rush forward no matter what was in front of her.
“Don’t court death!” Lawyer An scolded directly. “Can’t you see that Xiezhi’s shadow is much more solid than before? Little Monkey has completely invoked that guy’s anger.”
Zhou Ze did not answer. He only gritted his teeth.
The Little Monkey who had fallen to the ground struggled to stand up. Its weak figure seemed so helpless.
Even if it was standing at this moment, its feet and arms were bent. It seemed that maintaining a standing posture had exhausted all its strength.
The Little Monkey stared at the Xiezhi that kept walking towards it. Its cute face kept putting on a fierce look!
“Zhi… zhi… zhi…”
The Little Monkey’s tail dragged weakly on the ground.
Xiezhi walked over step by step. Each step carried a heavy pressure.
Zhou Ze smiled. He lowered his head and looked at his left chest.
When did it happen? When did his conscience stop hurting?
Did it happen after the three villages?
Zhou Ze could not remember exactly when it stopped hurting.
To be honest, you might find it very uncomfortable and annoying when it exists. If one day, it suddenly left without saying goodbye, you miss it.
If at this time, his conscience hurt, he’d have a move to make.
Bai Yingying, I’m in pain. Quickly help me!
However, it doesn’t hurt anymore.
He took a few steps forward.
Lawyer An immediately widened his eyes. He reached out and grabbed Zhou Ze’s ankle. Zhou Ze kicked him away.
Bai Yingying gritted her teeth and followed Zhou Ze.
Xiezhi stopped because it saw two more people who seemed ready to offend its majesty. This offense was equivalent to offending the Code of Law. Law was the Supreme Truth and the foundation of this world. It separated chaos and order.
Zhou Ze stepped in front of the Little Monkey. He stretched out his hand and patted the Little Monkey’s head.
The Little Monkey weakly leaned against Zhou Ze’s knee and fell down. His hands grabbed Zhou Ze’s pants and rubbed them against his face.
“Monkey Smash,” Zhou Ze shouted.
The Little Monkey closed his eyes. It was unknown if he had fainted or not, but he did not respond to Zhou Ze.
“In my previous life, I killed you. This time, I will save you. I really don’t owe you anything.”
With that said, Zhou Ze looked at Xiezhi.
It was not as tragic as the wind blowing or the water freezing. It was also not as heroic as righteousness.
He bent down slightly and smiled apologetically. He said, “Master Xiezhi, I don’t know if we are part of the same system. Would you show us some mercy? This monkey is not sensible. I will take him back and punish him for half a year with no banana. Is that okay?”
Haechi narrowed its eyes slightly. Its contempt became clearer. Although it did not speak, its mocking attitude was very obvious.
“Who are you?! You dare to ask me for mercy? It seems that you have no right to ask that. I don’t care about you.”
Zhou Ze nodded. He stood up straight. His eyes were calm and clear. He looked straight at Xiezhi in front of him. He did not show the slightest cowardice because the other party was a Divine Beast, a symbol of law.
Xiezhi’s eyes showed a hint of doubt. The temperament that this person displayed now did not seem to be forced. Xiezhi seemed to find contempt in his eyes.
Indeed, if you knew that this mythical beast had been beaten by you before and that you had broken one of its horns, you might not be intimidated by its power. At the bottom of your heart, you would not take it seriously. It was as if no matter how high the Jade Emperor was, the little peasant could laugh at him and say, “You have been beaten by a monkey.”
