Chapter 1 Zhou, the Owner, Holds the Sha Bi

Zhou, the owner, held the sha bi in his hand,
His eyes fixed upon the sha bi in his hand,
Scrutinizing this sha bi carefully,
His fingers gently caressing this sha bi,
A strange feeling arose spontaneously.

Was it because he called it by its correct name,
That it abandoned the consciousness within,
And sought him out specifically to acknowledge him as its master?
Now that he thought about it, in the beginning, this pen carried a strong desire to enslave him, wanting to turn him into a puppet like the woman on the Naihe Bridge and the prisoner, for it to absorb and control.

But in the subsequent scenes,
It was clear that this pen was deliberately trying to please him, constantly exploring his preferences to make him happy, and it even found a scene that made him smile in his dreams.

For a time,
Zhou Ze finally understood the sha bi's good intentions.

At the same time,
There was also a full sense of gratitude.

In today's world, where the gap between rich and poor is so vast,
He was just a small boat,
While the one below possessed the entire Nether Sea,
Although this was just an illusion, and the one below was no longer the master of the Nether Sea, just like how the Mount Tai City God had long since disappeared and fallen.

But in terms of life level,
Strength realm,
And so on,
He was utterly crushed.

In this situation,
It was more like a contrast,
He was like a small boat that could capsize at any moment,
While the other was a vast sea,
But this pen still chose him.

Moved,
Of course, he was moved,
So moved that Zhou Ze wanted to squeeze out some tears.

At the same time,
He also felt extremely fortunate in his heart,
When he was suppressed before,
Zhou, the owner, was purely thinking about not losing face,
And cursing for the fun of it!

Luckily, he cursed "sha bi,"
And didn't curse:
"Ni ma bi,"
"Dou bi,"
"Mala ge bi,"
Otherwise,
Everything would have been gg (game over).

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!!!!"

The Nether Sea began to churn,
Which meant that the one down below was now furious!

In his eyes, Zhou Ze was just his watchdog, his servant while he hid to repair himself.

Sometimes, one had to consider the owner when beating a dog, so when Zhou Ze was being "bullied," he would come out to help solve the problem.

Moreover,
Zhou Ze and he suffered together,
He had to be willing even if he didn't want to,
And was forced to come out several times to clean up Zhou Ze's mess.

But now,
The watchdog had taken away what he wanted most right now; this thing was very important to him at this time. With it, he could recover faster, and even have a place to temporarily hide after he truly awakened.

That was,
Hiding in the stories beneath the tip of the pen!

Originally, he thought this was his own opportunity, a gift from the heavens after witnessing him being exiled to guard the Nether Sea by the Yellow Emperor, and finally falling because of that incident.

But now,
That pen,
Why did it appear in the hands of the watchdog!

Of course, he was angry,
And extremely angry!

It was like a prince and a commoner pursuing the same woman, and the woman eloped with the commoner,
This,
How could it be!

"Can you control it? Can you master it?"

A huge vortex appeared deep in the sea,
And the voice,
Came from that vortex, carrying a world-destroying power; at least, in terms of momentum, it did.

"You took it, but it will still be mine in the end. You can't even control a broken Yin-Yang Scroll, let alone this pen!"

Sour,
So sour,
Zhou Ze smiled,
Watching this guy get angry really made him happy.

"You can't resist it; it will make you fall into it. Give it to me; just give it to me!"

"Don't even think about it."

Zhou, the owner, slowly stood up from the small boat.

I'm already so poor now,
Besides this little boat under my feet,
I only have one sha bi left,
And you still want to take it away?

Zhou, the owner, was lazy by nature, especially in this life, he had become obsessed with the feeling of being a salted fish, but that didn't mean that Zhou, the owner, was so lazy that he didn't even have the motivation and desire to live.

Because he liked being a salted fish,
He cherished this kind of life even more,
And therefore,
Even more,
Cherished his life!

If it was a worthless life,
He would have given it up,
He would have been replaced,
Even if he was erased,
It wouldn't matter.

But now he had a bookstore, a group of employees who could be with him every day, and the caring Yingying.

Only someone with water in their brain would want to give up this kind of life!

"Hehe, do you think you can still enjoy it for a few days?
Do you think you can still exist for long?"

A sneer came from the depths of the sea,
"Originally, I was thinking of waiting until I was ready to awaken, and maybe you could live through this life, but now, I can tell you clearly,
Your time,
Is running out!
Not even sixty years,
Not even ten years,
Not even a year,
Within half a year,
I will completely control this body,
And you,
Will be completely erased,
I don't even want to integrate your thoughts and existence!"

The Nether Sea was roaring and raging.

Half a year,
Only half a year left?

Zhou Ze frowned slightly,
It seemed,
He had been opening too much Musou mode recently, giving this guy too many opportunities, which led to this guy recovering so quickly.

Seeming to sense Zhou Ze's inner thoughts,
The brush, which was originally lying in Zhou Ze's palm, suddenly flew out and floated above the Nether Sea.

Zhou Ze narrowed his eyes slightly,
What was this sha bi going to do?

The next moment,
The brush began to wield,
And the thick, blood-colored ink seemed to appear out of thin air.

"Hiss..."

Zhou, the owner, immediately knelt on the small boat in pain.

And on the floor of the prison library in reality,
The blood in Zhou Ze's body was being rapidly drawn out, and the whole person looked as if he had suddenly lost a lot of weight.

Chest tightness,
Dizziness,
Shortness of breath,
As a surgeon, Zhou Ze understood,
These were typical symptoms of excessive blood loss.

Looking up at the brush above again,
Thinking about the two people who were controlled and sucked dry into puppets by it,
Even being its master,
Wasn't so easy.

If it continued to draw like this,
He would soon become a dried-up corpse.

"Bang!"

The brush wielded,
And began to write in the air.

The Nether Sea began to roll,
Because Zhou Ze and the one down below were related,
So when Zhou Ze sensed weakness,
The one down below was the same.

The Nether Sea began to shrink rapidly,
No,
To be precise,
It was evaporating.

"What... are you doing!"

The one under the sea asked,
But no one answered.

Because the brush couldn't speak,
And Zhou Ze, as its new master,
Sorry,
Even this master didn't know what it was going to do!

After all,
It was really hard to understand the thinking of a sha bi.

A word,
Was slowly written in the air,
It was "Seal"!

This seal character was still easy to recognize, because it was very similar to the simplified seal character.

The vigorous and powerful "Seal" character floated in the air,
And then suddenly pressed down!

"Boom!"

The depths of the Nether Sea seemed to have been blasted open,
The one below let out a roar,
But the roaring sound began to weaken,
Until the end,
The entire Nether Sea was frozen.

A huge "Seal" character was still floating in the sky, but it was constantly being consumed, because the one below was constantly resisting and corroding the seal on himself.

The brush floated above the font,
Occasionally adding a stroke,
Erasing a stroke,
Like the most determined guardian,
Guarding this seal.

"Sealed it?"

Zhou Ze was a little surprised and suspicious.

But the brush didn't respond to him.

Zhou Ze could only shout at the ice layer below:

"Hey, was it sealed successfully,
You damn at least answer me!"

Below,
There was silence.

The one who was still pretending to be a noble and superior being just now,
Was completely silent now.

It seemed that the seal was successful.

Zhou Ze looked at his feet,
His small boat was also frozen,
But he could now get off the boat and walk on the ice.

"You will regret it..."

Suddenly,
That voice came again from below.

This directly startled Zhou Ze.

Damn,
You pretended to be dead when I asked you,
And suddenly replied to scare people out of nowhere?

"Without me... you would have died long ago."

The voice below became very weak.

This was a fact; if the one inside his body hadn't taken action many times before, Zhou, the owner, would have gone to the underworld to report long ago. Of course, his soul might have dissipated, and he wouldn't even have had the chance to report.

But as the one below threatened when he was pretending,
He said,
He only had half a year left to take over.

Therefore,
If he could really seal him this time, Zhou Ze still felt it was worth it.

"I will be waiting..."

"Waiting for what?"

"Waiting for you to need my power..."

Zhou Ze's eyes narrowed.

"Waiting for you to need my power,
Waiting for the day you personally unseal me!
Believe me,
This day,
Won't be too far away."

"Crack..."

Like the lights suddenly going out in a stage play,
The surroundings suddenly became pitch black.

Zhou Ze slowly opened his eyes,
And found that it was already dawn outside.

He curled up and wanted to get up,
But his body was constantly trembling,
Even though there were no wounds,
He had lost too much blood.

In addition, he had already had an internal conflict with the consciousness inside his body before,
Which caused his physical condition to be not much better than when he was paralyzed after opening Musou mode.

However,
There were already some sounds coming from outside,
It was already dawn,
And someone would soon come in here.

At that time, they would find that there was an outsider in the library.

The next thing,
Would become very troublesome.

Zhou Ze struggled to stand up,
And finally,
He succeeded, he stood up,
Holding onto the table,
His body was still shaking constantly.

But if he wanted to climb out of the wall like when he came in,
That was probably wishful thinking.

"So, you ran to the prison library in the middle of the night to read dirty books?"

A familiar voice came from behind the bookshelf.

It was Lawyer An.

"Your body is really weak now."

Lawyer An bent down and helped Zhou Ze up.

"Luckily, I couldn't sleep at night, so I came over to check on you; otherwise, you would be in trouble."

Lawyer An was about to help Zhou Ze leave,
But Zhou Ze's eyes were fixed on the pen on the ground.

The real pen was sealing the one down below inside him,
And this pen,
Had become extremely ordinary.

Lawyer An glanced at it, reached out and picked up the pen, put it in Zhou Ze's pocket, and patted it at the same time.

"Can we go now?"

Zhou Ze nodded weakly.
