Fu Ying's expression froze.
Chang Xin, who was standing to the side, was also stunned.
What is a Hou?
King of Zombies?
This...this...
This...this...
"What?" Jiang Li chuckled lightly, then glanced at Fu Ying. "Do you think that with my abilities, I can't see through your true form? Or do you think that because I'm young, I can be easily fooled?"
Although it wasn't something she could tell at a glance.
But Fu Ying's current appearance confirms her suspicions.
Fu Ying: "..."
She just didn't expect...
Someone actually managed to see through her true identity.
"Master Jiang! Boss Jiang!" Chang Xin called out to Jiang Li several times subconsciously. She couldn't help but ask, "What are you talking about? That's a legendary existence. How could it possibly exist in real life?"
After a pause, Chang Xin continued, "Besides... she was originally just a human. Can a human turn into a Hou?"
"So what do you think zombies are transformed from?" Jiang Li raised an eyebrow and asked coolly.
Chang Xin was speechless, but she still argued her point, "Although what you said makes some sense, could an ordinary person, even if she really turned into a zombie, be so powerful as to become the king of zombies?"
The Hou is a legendary creature.
Calling it a zombie is already an insult.
That's practically a demon god.
To say that the beauty before them was a demon-like being, Hou...
Forgive her, she truly cannot believe.
"Isn't this actually a very simple matter?" Jiang Li glanced at Chang Xin and explained simply, "Because of her destiny, she was sealed here. Because of those magic arrays, her destiny was absorbed into the arrays and mixed into the dragon vein. It can be said that she used her destiny to nourish the fortune of that country for a period of time. However, because she died as a sacrifice and was bound by magic, she naturally couldn't be like a normal dead person. Therefore, she mutated into a zombie..."
"Then how did she become a Hou?" Chang Xin still couldn't understand.
"Although her destiny has been changed, the arrays that connect to the dragon veins are still linked to her body. As long as she absorbs in reverse, she can draw on the fortune and spiritual energy of the entire country and break through quickly... Becoming a Hou will naturally not be difficult."
We should also thank those with impure intentions.
It took her life, but it also gave her a new life.
But this new life...
She didn't want it either.
Fu Ying listened quietly to Jiang Li's words without saying a word or refuting them.
Because she was right about everything.
Such a young girl, yet she possesses such abilities.
She found it incredible.
"Will you agree to my request?" Jiang Li finished explaining to Chang Xin, then turned to Fu Ying. "I can indeed release you, but you know your own identity. Although the Hou is not favored by the Heavenly Dao, with your abilities, it would be too easy for you to do evil in this world. However, if I get your promise, I can suppress you and control you from doing evil. This is a way that satisfies both of us."
Fu Yinghou was silent for a moment, then asked, "What do you mean by 'committing evil deeds'?"
“Harming ordinary humans and doing things that violate laws and regulations,” Jiang Li explained slowly. “If you agree, I will give you a proper introduction to this world after we get out, because… this place is completely different from the era you live in.”
“Okay.” Fu Ying finally agreed. “I will listen to you, do things for you, be at your beck and call, and will not do anything to harm others or violate the law. I will not hurt anyone without cause. However, if anyone hurts me or does something against me, I will definitely not sit idly by and will fight back.”
“As long as you don’t harm anyone or break the law and end up in jail…” Jiang Li didn’t mean to let Fu Ying be a pushover. “If someone bullies you, you can naturally fight back.”
"Okay." Fu Ying nodded. "Then it's settled."
As soon as Fu Ying finished speaking, a magic array appeared in Jiang Li's hand.
The magic circle passed through the coffin and entered Fuying's body.
A golden light flashed on both of them simultaneously, and a light also flashed between their brows, thus forming a contract.
From then on, as long as the two did not peacefully dissolve their contract, Fu Ying would continue to be at Jiang Li's beck and call.
"Can you let me out now?" Seeing that Jiang Li didn't make any further moves, Fu Ying couldn't help but urge her, "I've been lying here for too long, and I want to stretch my muscles a bit."
Having already received Hou's promise, Jiang Li naturally wouldn't keep her bound to it any longer.
Moreover, Jiang Li had already discovered that the formation and the coffin here wouldn't be able to trap Fu Ying for long.
Rather than letting her leave on her own later, it's better to keep her by my side, so that I can at least take care of her a little.
Having broken the formation, Jiang Li released Fu Ying from the coffin.
Perhaps because she had been lying in the coffin for too long, Fu Ying was unable to stand up for a while.
"Who will help me up?" Fu Ying asked, looking at the two people.
Jiang Li gestured to Chang Xin with her eyes.
Chang Xin shook her head frantically; she dared not.
That's the King of Zombies, the Hou...
She didn't dare to go forward.
"Move around a bit," Jiang Li said, glancing at Fu Ying. "If you don't rely on yourself and become self-reliant, your already stiff body will be even less able to function flexibly."
After saying that...
Jiang Li then looked at the old man who was still stunned, "I'm taking her with me, you don't have any objections, do you?"
The old man shook his head repeatedly, "No, no... you can take it with you."
"Then could we please keep this matter from being leaked?" Jiang Li thought for a moment and then said, "After all, if this kind of thing is leaked, it can easily cause panic."
The old man nodded understandingly. "Don't worry, I will make sure our entire team keeps this a secret. However... right now only the three of us know about it; no one else knows. So as long as we promise not to tell anyone, it will be fine."
When Chang Xin screamed, the others naturally heard it too.
However, because they had things to do and knew that Jiang Li wouldn't let Chang Xin get into trouble, they all continued doing their own things without changing their expressions.
Therefore...
I missed this astonishing scene.
“Oh, right…” Jiang Li seemed to have thought of something and suddenly turned to ask Fu Ying, “When we entered the ancient tomb, was that thousand-year-old female ghost who made the sound you?”
"What thousand-year-old female ghost?" Fu Ying looked puzzled. "I only gradually woke up after you came in..."
Although she would wake up once every time she advanced in the past...
However, after being promoted to Hou, she had been asleep until now. It was only when they entered this place and loosened the surrounding formation that she was able to fully wake up again.
As for the thousand-year-old female ghost...
She really didn't know.
"Oh no!" Jiang Li's expression changed drastically. She looked sharply at the old man. "Where are the others? Quickly gather them here!"
Before the old man could even make a move...
They then heard screams coming from outside...
Jiang Li immediately looked at Fu Ying, "This is your territory, and that thousand-year-old vengeful ghost is yours to deal with!"
Fu Ying: "..."
This is really treating zombies with no respect whatsoever.
With these thoughts in mind, Fu Ying's figure disappeared from in front of the group.
