“Tell me, little girl, is your boss's side job being a Taoist priest or a monk?”

On the balcony, the woman took out a slim cigarette and silently smoked it. At home, under surveillance, she wouldn't smoke, always deliberately maintaining her image as a good and virtuous wife.

But for some reason, at this moment, she felt a little distraught and wanted to use a cigarette to calm her emotions.

"You've got it backwards; running the bookstore is the side job," Bai Yingying replied.

"Oh, how interesting."

The woman reached out to tidy Bai Yingying's hair, and said softly:

"Did he brainwash you? How can you admire him so much?"

Bai Yingying looked at the woman with an idiot's gaze.

The woman shook her head. She didn't believe it, but as she said, since it was Wang Ke's recommendation, she was willing to spend millions to see if it would amount to anything.

The old man huddled at the door of the room, looking at his wife and Bai Yingying, waving his hand and shouting:

"Come in, hurry and hide in here, they're coming, they're coming, they're really coming!"

The woman ignored her husband and continued to smoke her cigarette.

Bai Yingying paid even less attention to him. She was worried about her boss downstairs and whether something unexpected would happen to him.

The boss had just unleashed his power in Yancheng, and his physical condition was very poor now. In other words, his skill cooldown time hadn't passed yet, so the risk factor would naturally increase.

"Bang!"

The living room door downstairs was pushed open.

Zhou Ze, covered in cold sweat, rolled out from inside. He was soaked all over, as if drenched in cold sweat.

"Huff... huff..."

Lying on the ground, Zhou Ze breathed heavily, as if the air was very precious to him, and he cherished it immensely.

"Boss!"

Bai Yingying on the balcony shouted anxiously.

Zhou Ze staggered to his feet, picked up the fallen crutch next to him, waved it at them, signaling Bai Yingying not to come down, and then walked back into the living room.

About ten minutes later,

Zhou Ze rolled out again. This time, Zhou Ze lay still for a full five minutes before slowly getting up, and stood up again, leaning on his crutch. Zhou Ze's body seemed to sway a little.

"Boss..."

Bai Yingying shouted again.

"Don't come down, protect them. I don't believe it; even a strong dragon can't suppress a local snake!"

Zhou Ze continued to walk inside.

The woman exhaled a smoke ring and said, "He's acting so realistically."

Obviously, she thought Zhou Ze was acting, just like those Taoist priests performing rituals, simply to please the audience and then gain revenue.

"Uh..."

The woman couldn't speak,

Because Bai Yingying's hand was directly grabbing her neck,

Her feet had already left the ground. This high school girl used only one hand to lift her up so easily.

"This isn't acting,"

Bai Yingying said very seriously:

"If something really happens to the boss, don't worry, I will definitely vent my anger on you."

"He... he himself... for... for money..." The woman retorted with difficulty.

"You're a woman, don't you know a truth?" Bai Yingying asked rhetorically.

"Wh...at..."

"And that is, don't argue with a woman."

..................

Zhou Ze walked into the living room again. At this time, the living room was basically flooded with water, all liquid, but those twenty-odd people were still spitting out water non-stop.

It was truly endless, genuine massive quantities.

And the sea snake that Zhou Ze had initially blown its head off, had now turned into a water python, with a tree trunk-like thick body, constantly swimming around inside, giving people a sense of immense pressure.

However, if you looked carefully, this giant python's body was also covered in blood and gore, with many places where the scales were incomplete. Obviously, in the repeated confrontations with Zhou Ze, it had also suffered serious damage.

"Hiss hiss hiss..."

The water python rushed over again.

Zhou Ze raised his head, gritted his teeth, and stretched out his hands. Bloodstains appeared on his fingertips again, obviously reaching the breaking point again.

His body was indeed a little weak now because of the consumption he had just experienced in Yancheng a while ago.

If he were in his prime, Zhou Ze felt that he wouldn't be so embarrassed.

This was just a sea snake, even if it bore the name of the Sea God, it was just a snake. If it was a one-on-one fight, he wouldn't be afraid.

What Zhou Ze was worried about was if there really was a Sea God in this world, would his choice this time offend the other party?

Of course, the other party didn't really give him a choice.

Zhou Ze wanted to admit defeat, wanted to retreat, to not fight if he could avoid it, and not touch a tiger's whiskers if he could avoid it, but the other party's attitude was too rude, not giving him the slightest chance to back down.

Boss Zhou loves money and also loves performance, but he loves his life even more.

"Hiss hiss..."

The water python's body crashed into Zhou Ze again. Zhou Ze fell to the ground, his face pale, but Zhou Ze's fingernails took the opportunity to pierce into the water python's body, grabbing a red halo and instantly crushing it!

Next, the water python and Zhou Ze lay on the ground together, staring at each other.

The water python tried to coil up again several times, but failed. Zhou Ze also wanted to stand up, but couldn't.

Man and snake, staring at each other, not admitting defeat, they were deadlocked.

"Aren't you tired?" Zhou Ze said.

The water python did not respond, just staring at Zhou Ze.

"Was it really the Sea God who sent you?" Zhou Ze continued to ask.

The water python still did not respond.

Zhou Ze took a deep breath. You can really talk to people, but with a beast,

How to talk?

Seeming to perceive Zhou Ze's thoughts, the water python suddenly raised its head, staring at Zhou Ze with anger in its eyes.

Ha,

Like that monkey,

Can it directly sense people's thoughts?

"Buzz!"

The water python began to tremble. In an instant, its body began to disintegrate, but from its broken body, thumb-sized snakes began to emerge.

This dense mass of things began to surge towards Zhou Ze like a blanket covering the sky!

"Get lost!"

Zhou Ze supported the ground with both hands, forcibly raised his head, and his ten fingernails directly pierced into the floor. Wisps of black gas were squeezed out, using himself as a circle to protect himself. All the small snakes that touched the black gas were annihilated.

The stalemate between man and snake seemed to have to continue. Both sides were already at the end of their ropes, but still stubbornly holding on.

And at this moment, the twenty-odd people who had been acting as "faucets" all closed their mouths in unison, and then they slowly stood up.

They did not walk towards Zhou Ze, nor did they walk towards the water python, but lined up, like elementary school students leaving school in the evening, and walked towards the stairwell.

They,

Were going upstairs!

Zhou Ze didn't know if it was because his arrival had stimulated them to launch or if he had arrived just in time?

"Hiss hiss hiss..."

A fearless little snake actually penetrated Zhou Ze's black gas, compressed its body, and then bounced up, directly drilling towards Zhou Ze's ear.

Zhou Ze felt a slippery sensation in his ear. The thing was still trying to drill in.

But there were more small snakes around. Zhou Ze didn't dare to pull his hands out of the floor, otherwise he would experience the feeling of a "snake pit". It is said that ancient brutal monarchs liked to play this game, throwing the condemned into a snake pit.

But the disgusting sensation coming from his ear was really too clear. If he didn't stop it, who knew where the thing would drill to.

Tongcheng has a tradition of temple fairs. Zhou Ze remembered that the orphanage also organized everyone to go to the temple fair when he was a child. He recalled that there was a shed at the time, two yuan a ticket, a woman lying on a bed covered by a mosquito net, with many small snakes around her.

The woman would perform a show for the ticket buyers, which was to pinch a small snake and stuff it into her nostril, and then the small snake would slowly crawl out of her mouth.

At the time, as an observer, he felt it was amazing, but Zhou Ze didn't want to experience it himself.

But Zhou Ze didn't have any other way now. He didn't bring the Yin-Yang Book with him, because that thing would keep shaking like a vibrating bang when it encountered someone about to die, making you upset and irritated.

That's right,

He also had a bronze ring, but he didn't know what the ring was for. He was wearing the ring, but what if he killed himself by wearing it, then there would be no place to cry.

Take a deep breath, take a deep breath, keep taking deep breaths.

The slippery thing in his ear was still drilling in, unbearably itchy.

Zhou Ze could only subconsciously lean his face, squeezing his ear with his shoulder and arm, hoping to get the thing out.

At this time, Zhou Ze suddenly thought that he seemed to have two ghost messenger certificates in his left pocket.

Gamble!

Pulling his hands out of the floor, Zhou Ze quickly took out a ghost messenger certificate, and before the surrounding snakes could swarm over, Zhou Ze used his bloody fingernails to rub the ghost messenger certificate hard. Green smoke kept rising from the ghost messenger certificate, and then the certificate began to crack, obviously it was废掉了 (wasted/ruined).

But the green smoke was still rising, like a match being lit.

"Pa!"

Zhou Ze threw the ghost messenger certificate out of the house.

Masses of small snakes instantly abandoned Zhou Ze and pounced on the ghost messenger certificate outside.

It seemed that because the water python had divided too much and was too small, the intelligence of each individual was also averaged. Zhou Ze felt like he was playing frisbee with a dog just now.

And that family who was going upstairs also rushed downstairs like crazy, running into the snake swarm outside the living room. Obviously, the strange fragrance emitted when the ghost messenger certificate burned had a super attraction for ghosts!

At the moment, Zhou Ze didn't relax or stop to take a breath. He directly reached out and grabbed the portrait, and unhesitatingly tore it open with his fingernails.

"Sila"

With a crisp sound,

The portrait cracked, and the small snakes inside and outside the house began to slowly evaporate, and the family was also slowly melting.

"Pa!"

A gust of wind blew, and the living room door closed.

Finally,

Everything returned to calm.

"Huff... huff..."

Zhou Ze knelt on the ground,

So tired,

His whole body was exhausted,

But,

Now it seems,

The Sea God doesn't seem so great after all.

Boss Zhou was full of accomplishment at once, feeling incredibly good about himself.

"Pa!"

"Pa!"

It sounded like the wind was blowing outside.

The wind kept hitting the door frame.

At first, Zhou Ze didn't take it seriously, but slowly, Zhou Ze realized that something was wrong. The floor was still shaking and tilting non-stop.

Zhou Ze used his last bit of strength to support the wall and crawled up, staggering to the door,

Reaching out,

He pushed open the living room door,

Outside,

Was actually,

A vast ocean!
