Zuan showed no embarrassment whatsoever: "This just proves that I was chosen by fate to save you. Otherwise, why would someone as strong as him be unable to break through it, while a third-rank cultivator like me could?"
Upon hearing his words, Mi Li was taken aback, muttering to herself: "Has fate chosen me...?"
After a long while, she came to her senses and said softly, "You were the one who kept asking me questions. Now it's my turn to ask you."
"Sister, please ask away. I will answer everything I know to the best of my ability," Zu'an replied with a smile.
Mi Li's breath hitched. Why did she subconsciously feel that he was about to lie when she heard him say that? "Where did you get the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra from?"
"This was given to me by a mysterious old man..." Now that Mi Li and he were bound together by life and death, there was no point in hiding it. Even if she didn't say anything, she would definitely be able to sense Old Man Mi's presence when they returned to the Chu residence.
Moreover, Old Man Mi always had a sinister aura that made him suspicious, so it was good to say it out in advance for reference.
Mi Li frowned and asked, "Is he your father or your grandfather?"
Zuan: "..."
This sounds like an insult.
"Neither."
Mi Li sneered: "Since we are not related, why would he give you such a supreme secret manual? Something is amiss. He is obviously up to no good."
In fact, Zuan also had such a guess, but after thinking about it, he really couldn't figure out what he had back then that was worth Old Man Mi's schemes for.
"Maybe they think I'm handsome. Besides, I always feel like I'm the chosen one. It's not surprising that a bunch of powerful people are crying and begging to take me as their disciple, or even wanting to marry their granddaughters to me."
Upon hearing his words, Mi Li was speechless.
She looked him up and down with a strange expression, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you out of your mind?"
Zuan: "???"
You're the one who's crazy, your whole family is crazy.
Mi Li snorted: "If you're really mentally ill, just say so now. Although I'm a rune master, I also have considerable experience in medicine and should be able to cure you. Otherwise, your condition will become unmanageable. You should know that all medical texts clearly state that there is no cure for the mentally disabled."
Zuan: "..."
But he immediately realized: "You're a doctor?"
“Of course,” Mi Li snorted proudly, “Back when the Qin state unified the eight wastelands and six directions, it collected all the books from various states into the palace. I would go and read them whenever I had free time. I successfully combined the art of runes with medical skills, which can be considered as taking a different approach. Overall, my medical skills are so-so.”
Although she said it was just so-so, her proud demeanor made it seem like she wanted to praise me and worship me.
"Since you're a miracle doctor, then hurry up and save Xue'er."
Zu'an was overjoyed, never expecting this woman to be such a treasure trove.
Mi Li's expression turned cold: "I have neither herbs nor elixirs now, how can I save her?"
"Tch~ I thought she was so amazing." Zu An had even been wondering who was more skilled, her or Doctor Ji, but now it seemed there was no comparison at all.
“You don’t need to provoke me,” Mi Li said calmly. “I can save her if you really want to, but I’m currently in a soul form. My soul has been separated from my body twice, and I’ve suffered great damage. I’ve only managed to recover a little bit thanks to those undead. Why would I let my soul be damaged again for a woman I have no connection with?”
"Besides, her life isn't in danger right now. As long as she goes out and takes some herbal medicine to replenish her qi and blood, she can fully recover."
Zuan realized he was being a bit too concerned, but he still couldn't help saying, "However, I still think your medical skills aren't that great, otherwise how could you have gotten so badly injured by a poison?"
Mi Li was truly enraged: "Ignorant brat, what do you know? 'Xiangfei Red Tears' is not something that should exist in the human world. It can easily poison an earth immortal to death. If I hadn't been skilled in both runes and medicine, and knew how to separate my soul from my body, I would have been able to abandon my physical body in time to survive. Otherwise, I would probably have been completely destroyed, body and soul."
Anger from Mi Li +512!
Zu An was dumbfounded. This poison was so potent. It was a pity that Zhang Han had used up the last drop. Otherwise, with this poison in hand, wouldn't I be able to destroy anyone I meet in the future?
Mi Li found it hard not to get angry when talking to this guy, so she ignored him and turned to the terracotta warriors on the other side: "Thank you all for your hard work. If it weren't for your heroic fighting that bought us time, we wouldn't have been able to deal with those undead legions so easily."
The terracotta warriors all wore expressions of excitement. Clearly, after silently guarding this underground palace for thousands of years, they had finally received the Empress's reward, which was an extremely honorable thing for them.
"Now that Zhang Han is dead and the Qin state has long since perished, from this day forward, you shall all be loyal to me." Mi Li stood with her hands behind her back, exuding the noble and elegant aura of an empress.
The terracotta warriors looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and then knelt down on one knee and bowed to her. In the Qin army, this meant swearing allegiance.
Zuan was secretly delighted, thinking that with such a group of thugs under his command, wouldn't he be able to do whatever he wanted?
If she doesn't like someone, she can just have Mi Li send out a few terracotta warriors and smash them to death.
Sigh, it seems I'm destined to be a kept man for life.
As he was lost in thought, a startling change suddenly occurred before his eyes. A murderous glint flashed in Mi Li's phoenix eyes, and with a casual wave of her hand, the Tai'a sword flashed a huge sword beam, sweeping directly across the terracotta warrior formation.
The terracotta warriors, who were pledging allegiance, were caught completely off guard and were instantly cut in two!
