Nine-Tailed Fox stepped down from her seat and bowed slightly: "That's natural. If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. My demon race and the current Taoists are already interdependent. I also need to fight for a stable life for my people."
In the dead silence, everyone boarded the plane, and I didn't even know how I got back until we landed in Shanghai.
Having come this far, I am no longer afraid of death. However, I still have people I care about, and I still need to do my best to protect everything that has come so hard.
But I'm too weak...
The advisor followed Chairman Fang to the headquarters of the Kyoto Taoist Association halfway there.
I made up a random excuse and went out alone, finding a secluded spot to sit down.
"Shi Jiu, can you hear me?"
"I need to talk to you about something."
Not long after, a gust of wind, carrying a strong aura of death, arrived beside me.
Shi Jiu came before me, knelt on one knee, and respectfully said, "Your Majesty, did you summon your subject?"
I looked at Shi Jiu. He was different today than when I first met him; in fact, he was very different.
At this time, although Shi Jiu was also covered in corpse energy, his appearance and body were no different from those of a normal person. If it weren't for the yin energy he carried, it would be impossible to tell the difference between him and a normal person.

Shi Jiu was somewhat bewildered, then said, "How about I transform back?"

Seeing my firm stance, Shi Jiu stopped kneeling and got up to sit opposite me.
"Your Majesty, is there anything you require me to do?"
I stared at Corpse Nine and said, "Corpse Nine, can you defeat the Drought Demon?"
As soon as I opened my mouth, Shi Jiu jumped up from the ground: "What did you say? A drought demon?"
"What's wrong? Are you sick?"
"The drought demon is something from so many years ago, it's ancient history."
"Moreover, I am merely a Corpse King, far inferior to the Drought Demon."
"However, if it were Your Majesty, I would surely be able to deal with the drought demon, but Your Majesty does not concern yourself with matters of the Three Realms..."
When I heard what Shi Jiu said, I frowned again: "You keep talking about this Emperor Chen, but who exactly is he?"
"Even someone as powerful as you can't defeat the drought demon, yet he can?"
"Is this emperor you speak of really that powerful?"
