Chapter 209 Fox Spirit
Yu Zhiyi's voice was very low.
King Ping's attention was entirely focused on the paperweight, and he didn't notice any other noises coming from inside the room.
Looking at the appreciative look in Prince Ping's eyes, Princess Ping asked after a while, "What's inside that paperweight?"
Yu Zhiyi shook her head, then suddenly stopped, realizing that she couldn't see. She said, "It's still unclear. There's a sealing formation on that paperweight; we'll have to break the seal to find out. But it's either a ghost, a demon, or some kind of malevolent energy. No matter what it is, prolonged contact with such things will shorten his lifespan."
Princess Ping's expression changed slightly, and she immediately tore off the invisibility talisman from her body.
Yu Zhiyi didn't find it strange and tore off the invisibility talisman as well.
At that moment, Prince Ping was speaking cautiously to the paperweight: "Ah Li, did something happen? Or are you unhappy today? Oh dear, why don't you come out to see me? Did I do something to upset you?"
The moment Princess Ping appeared, she heard these words, which sounded like a lover's murmur, and her heart ached sharply.
She hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't hold back and said, "Your Highness."
King Ping stiffened, but not because he felt guilty.
He turned around mockingly and said angrily, "So it was you who barged in. No wonder she's angry! Get out!"
Princess Ping stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "Your Highness actually told me to get lost because of a female ghost of unknown origin?"
Prince Ping actually had more than one woman; he also had several concubines in his household, all of whom were sent over by court officials, and two of whom were concubines bestowed upon him by the emperor.
Prince Ping did not distance himself from these women. He favored all of them who were sent to his residence, and even visited one or two of them from time to time.
No matter how much he liked them, he would always give her the respect and dignity due to a princess. If anyone dared to offend her, the prince would always teach those women a lesson on her behalf.
Even though she had just realized the true nature of her relationship with the prince, and knew that they were merely respectful to each other and not truly in love, she was not particularly disappointed or upset.
But now, she is heartbroken.
"Shut up!" King Ping roared. "You are not allowed to insult Ali! She is not a female ghost!"
Suddenly, he noticed Yu Zhiyi and frowned: "What are you doing here?"
Yu Zhiyi said calmly, "Take money to do things, eliminate evil and eradicate all malevolent spirits in the world."
At first, Prince Ping kept a stern face, but after a moment his expression changed, and he suddenly shouted angrily, "You are not welcome in Prince Ping's mansion, get out!"
Yu Zhiyi walked slowly toward him as if she hadn't heard him.
King Ping sternly ordered the men outside, "Men, throw this audacious and disrespectful woman out!"
Princess Ping said coldly, "Let's see who dares!"
Prince Ping was very noble, but her status was equally high.
She is the niece of the Empress Dowager and the cousin of the Emperor!
The guards were immediately in a dilemma; they couldn't afford to offend either of these two powerful figures.
Yu Zhiyi acted as if she hadn't seen the Prince of Ping's resistance, and no matter how much he struggled, she easily took the paperweight back and coldly said to the things inside, "Will you come out on your own, or will I drag you out myself?"
When Prince Ping tried to rush over to grab it, Yu Zhiyi used a freezing spell, rendering his legs unable to move.
However, although he couldn't move his legs, his mouth was unaffected. He glared angrily at Yu Zhiyi: "You, Yu, I advise you to release me, or I will make sure you die a horrible death!"
Yu Zhiyi paused, but ignored him and looked at Princess Ping instead: "What should I do? I suddenly don't want to save him anymore. After all, if I don't save him, he won't live more than three days, and he might not have time to bother me. But if I save him, I'll only get myself into trouble."
She said she had "gotten into trouble," but there was little panic or fear on her face, only displeasure and mockery from being threatened.
Princess Ping's face paled: "Not more than three days to live? Doctor Yu, are you telling the truth?"
"Stop putting on this act, Ah Li would never harm me!"
Yu Zhiyi always chose to ignore stupid people. She looked at the paperweight and repeated, "Are you sure you want me to do it?"
The paperweight remained motionless, and the inside was as quiet as a chicken's nest.
Yu Zhiyi laughed: "You think I can't do anything just because you're hiding inside?"
The array at the bottom of this paperweight is indeed very ingenious, but its ingenuity lies only in preventing its aura from leaking out, making it look like an ordinary object.
However, it does not possess any great power.
The reason Yu Zhiyi hadn't noticed it before was simply because it was mixed in with a bunch of ordinary things, and she had overlooked it for a moment.
Now that the secret of the paperweight has been uncovered, solving the problem is not difficult.
She reached her hand to the bottom of the paperweight.
As Yu Zhiyi's hand approached, a huge black hole suddenly appeared at the bottom of the paperweight, which seemed to be sealed. Her clean, slender hand reached in without any hindrance.
"Got you."
After saying that, she used a little force to pull the thing out.
Princess Ping felt a blur before her eyes, and suddenly a woman appeared in the study.
The woman was wearing a red gauze dress and was very beautiful, especially her pair of almond-shaped eyes. For the first time, she felt that the phrase "alluring eyes" had come to life.
The woman's entire being seemed to scream "I am so weak," and after she came out, she hid behind King Ping, looking terrified and frightened.
While others' fear and panic might be tinged with a sense of disarray, her fear and panic were filled with a delicate beauty that made those with tender hearts want to pity her and hold her in their arms to protect her.
For example, King Ping.
He glared angrily at Yu Zhiyi: "You wretch, how dare you bully Ali! I will make you regret this!"
Seeing Prince Ping's furious outburst for the sake of a woman, Princess Ping felt both angry and sad. She gritted her teeth and said coldly, "I invited Physician Yu. If you want to touch her, you'll have to ask for my permission first!"
King Ping stubbornly retorted, "Do you really want to anger me?"
Princess Ping sneered, no longer looking at him, but instead turning to Yu Zhiyi: "Doctor Yu, do you have a way to subdue this female ghost?"
Suddenly remembering what Yu Zhiyi had just said—that the woman might be a ghost or a demon—she asked uncertainly, "It... is it a female ghost?"
Yu Zhiyi nodded her chin: "Hmm, yes and no."
She didn't keep you in suspense: "Her true form was a fox. After she died, her soul didn't reincarnate and lingered for a long time. Eventually, she cultivated her soul into a human form. Of course, this human form is also a ghost form."
"So strictly speaking, it is actually the soul of a fox demon."
"Nonsense!" Although King Ping couldn't move his legs, his mouth was very fierce: "Ali is clearly my savior, not some fox!"
He looked at Princess Ping with disgust: "Now I realize how vicious you are. In order to eliminate dissidents, you actually bribed this charlatan to humiliate Ali!"
When Yu Zhiyi heard him say "savior," his expression suddenly became somewhat peculiar.
