The guards who were facing Jiuxi all said in unison, "How dare you, you humble servant! How dare you address my young master like that!"

However, Jiuxi simply ignored these mortals and tightened his grip a bit, strangling Yinmian so much that he had difficulty breathing. However, he was still impressed by Jiuxi's intelligence and immediately and decisively admitted, "It's... it's me!"

Jiuxi finally let go of Yinmian with satisfaction, stroked the soft fur of the fox in his arms, and said with a smile, "Your method of refining corpses is quite impressive. How many kinds of punishment did you use?"

When she was fighting with the zombie just now, she felt something strange. The zombie was obviously unearthed not long ago, and it seemed that there was still a breath of air in its throat. There were whip marks and traces of insect bites on its body. Even its body was black, and it was deeply poisoned.

Even when the soul appeared, there was relief on its face, not resentment.

It seems that someone has forcibly locked his soul in his body.

This type of zombie has no consciousness and hunts prey based on instinct. They only drink chicken blood, which is already pretty good.

Jiuxi's gaze pierced Yinmian like needles, making her feel uncomfortable all over. However, she had to admit that she was wise and took off her silver mask in a very casual manner. She stared at Jiuxi with a gaze as clear as a pond and said, "To be honest, young lady, I am the third prince of the palace! And I really had no choice but to release the zombies this time!"

"Is there any reason to take human life so lightly?"

Jiuxi questioned the third prince with a cold brow.

The Third Prince's face was a little red and he was panting. When he looked at the woman in front of him, he felt a sense of oppression that forced him to kneel down. The guards had already knelt on the ground because they could not bear this kind of pressure. They tried desperately to get up, but they seemed as if they were being pressed down by a jack and could not even straighten their bodies.

Jiuxi withdrew his gaze with satisfaction. This was the pressure from an immortal, how could a mortal bear it? But the third prince still straightened his back stubbornly, probably because he was protected by the aura of a real dragon.

The Third Prince smiled stubbornly and said, "Young lady, how can you conclude that I am taking human lives lightly? Young lady, don't you know that there is a fierce ghost in the palace that has killed many people?

The reason I refine zombies in this way is simply to save more people."

He's really generous, actually putting the blame for the creation of zombies on the common people...

But when he heard the word "evil ghost", Jiuxi was still moved and asked, "When did the evil ghost appear?"

"A month ago." The third prince said seriously.

Jiuxi raised her eyes, and there was a hint of helplessness in her cold eyes. It was ultimately the fault of the underworld that the evil spirit was involved, but at the moment she had no plans to stay in the human world.

"Is there really no one available in the Zhou Dynasty? They can't even deal with a vicious ghost?" Jiuxi said contemptuously.

"Hehe... isn't the girl also from the Zhou Dynasty? Are you belittling yourself?" Although the third prince was smiling, the smile only remained on the surface and did not reach the depths of his eyes.

Jiuxi noticed the calculation in the Third Prince's eyes, but since human lives were at stake, she could only ignore that look and said, "I'm just traveling around and will leave tomorrow.

But I have a junior fellow apprentice who is a little more skilled than me, but he has a bad habit of only coming out at night.

If the Third Prince can wait, I will introduce my junior brother to you."

She really didn't want to deal with the people in the palace. Miss Jing San was killed in the palace struggle in her previous life. She really didn't want to go into that filthy place again.
