Given Han Zhong's strength, it wouldn't have been so easy for Mi Li to subdue him. However, since she was now a soul, Han Zhong was unaware of her existence. Furthermore, his attention was entirely focused on Zu An, which is why he was instantly targeted.
Upon seeing Mi Li suddenly appear, Bi Linglong was extremely shocked. Her first reaction was that she was a female ghost in the area, but could there be such a beautiful female ghost in the world?
Moreover, the arrogance and nobility that he inadvertently revealed in his every move captivated her.
This kind of temperament was the goal she had strived for since childhood, and she originally thought she had already achieved it. However, the various embarrassing things she encountered in this secret realm made her realize that she was still far from being able to achieve it.
She instinctively moved closer to Zu'an: "Zu, be careful. I've heard that the red-clothed ghost is the most powerful and ferocious of all ghosts."
Upon hearing this, Mi Li turned around and said, "You brat, do you believe I'll turn you into a ghost first?"
"Huh?" Bi Linglong was startled. She didn't expect the other party to be able to speak. According to common sense in the cultivation system, such ghosts are often those who have cultivated to the heavens.
This place is full of vengeful spirits and hairy monsters, and now even fierce ghosts have appeared. She felt the hairs on her body stand on end.
The Zaun ninja smiled reassuringly and said, "Don't worry, she's one of us."
"One of our own?" Bi Linglong's eyes widened. "You even slept with ghosts?"
In her previous understanding, Zuan was a complete womanizer with many female confidantes. Now that she heard him say that the incredibly beautiful red-dressed ghost in front of her was one of their own, her first reaction was naturally to assume that they had that kind of relationship.
"Cough cough," Zu'an hurriedly covered her mouth, looking at Mi Li who was covered in "black smoke," "Don't talk nonsense, she's my good friend..."
Sensing Mi Li's sharp gaze, he quickly changed his words: "Uh, actually, she's also my master."
Mi Li snorted coldly: "Master is Master, what do you mean by 'calculate'?"
"Master?" Bi Linglong also came to her senses, and immediately felt extremely embarrassed when she thought about her behavior just now.
So he bowed to her guiltily and said, "Greetings, Master. I was very rude just now. I hope you won't take offense."
Mi Li rolled her eyes and said, "We haven't even entered the house yet, so don't start calling him that."
Bi Linglong stood there dumbfounded, feeling extremely embarrassed. She couldn't understand why she had inexplicably started calling him "Master" too. Oh dear, how utterly shameful!
Zuan smiled and took her hand to comfort her.
Bi Linglong immediately withdrew her hand, whether out of temper or embarrassment, it was hard to tell.
At this moment, Mi Li turned back to look at Han Zhong. Seeing his cloudy eyes, she frowned and said, "Speak!"
Han Zhong looked up and stared at her, initially showing no reaction, but soon seemed to remember something, his expression turning terrified: "A ghost, a ghost!"
If his key acupoints hadn't been sealed, he probably would have desperately fled backward.
Mi Li: "..."
Today is truly an unlucky day; I'm being treated like a ghost by people one after another.
Although her current form of existence is indeed very much like a ghost, even if that's the case, you can't go around saying it.
She crouched down, bringing her face close to his: "Have you already recognized who I am?"
"You are the Empress... no, the Empress is dead, you are not... ah, everyone is going to die... ahhh..." He looked deranged, clutching his head in agony.
"Empress?" Hearing this word, Bi Linglong was somewhat surprised and quietly approached Zu An to ask, "Is your master an empress?"
"Um."
"Which country's queen is she? What other country in the world could have a queen with such grace and beauty?"
"Well, that's a bit hard to explain, anyway, it's not one of the countries you know."
"Then why did she suddenly appear here?"
“She has actually been by my side the whole time, but she doesn’t like to see strangers, so she hasn’t shown herself.”
"She's been by your side the whole time? Does that mean she's been watching everything we do?" Bi Linglong's face turned deathly pale. She had thought it was just a secret between the two of them, but now she knew that someone had been watching her all along. The overwhelming shame made her wish she could disappear into the ground.
"Shut up, you two haven't actually slept together, what are you being so coy about?" Mi Li turned around and glared at the two of them, looking like she had been disturbed, then turned back to ask Han Zhong, but he only mumbled something indistinctly and didn't give any meaningful answer.
Bi Linglong: "..."
She wanted to argue, but she also felt that what the other person said made a lot of sense, and she was speechless.
Zuan leaned closer to her: "How about we buy her a ticket, so she has nothing to say?"
"Get lost!" Bi Linglong spat. She knew this guy was trying to comfort her, but why did he look so irritating?
At this moment, Zu'an also remembered the important matter and came to Mi Li's side: "He has lost his mind, so I'm afraid we can't get anything out of him."
Mi Li frowned, then suddenly formed a complex yet beautiful hand seal with her hands. A mysterious rune appeared and was placed directly on Han Zhong's forehead before disappearing into his skin.
"A rune master?" Bi Linglong, who was standing to the side, was surprised when she saw all this. She knew that in the Great Zhou Dynasty, cultivators were as numerous as fish crossing a river, but rune masters were relatively rare, especially high-level rune masters, each of whom was like a national treasure.
This woman's hand seal speed, and the exquisite and intricate runes she used, seemed to surpass even the rune masters she had ever seen before. She wondered if the senior student from the National Academy could compare...
At this moment, Han Zhong on the ground stopped roaring like a wild beast, and his eyes gradually became clear. He looked up at Mi Li and said weakly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
