Ming Ye followed Jing Zhi silently, but before he had walked for long, his feet suddenly felt empty and he fell uncontrollably. He clearly saw the men with bad intentions following Jing Zhi.
This layer of the sea of consciousness slowly collapsed, and Mingye's soul was squeezed out. When his soul returned to his body, Mingye suddenly opened his eyes, only to see Jiuxi's provocative face on the bed. She looked slightly angry and said, "The Corpse King actually has such a hobby?
Why bother peeking into my memory? If you want to know…"
Before she could finish her cold words, Ming Ye suddenly grabbed her shoulders with both hands, his eyes cold and gloomy, and shouted angrily, "Tell me! Where is Jing Zhi!"
It seemed as if he was going to crush her shoulders. The force really made her grit her teeth. Jiuxi frowned deeply, met his gloomy gaze, and explained, "This king... really doesn't know Jing Zhi!"
"But I did see Jing Zhi in your sea of consciousness!" Ming Ye said paranoidly.
Jiuxi's eyes turned slightly, and he smiled bitterly, "Maybe the Corpse King entered my own sea of consciousness?"
Judge Cui happened to come in with a bowl of medicine at this moment. Seeing Ming Ye clutching Jiu Xi's shoulders tightly, he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Corpse King! What are you doing?"
It was like a wake-up call, bringing Ming Ye back to his senses from his obsession. He looked at her slightly trembling shoulders and whispered with guilt, "I'm sorry."
Then, he rushed out of the door.
Looking at Ming Ye, who kept appearing and disappearing, Judge Cui placed the medicine bowl on the table and muttered, "This Zombie King must be losing his mind."
Jiuxi sat up and asked hesitantly, "Why do you think so?"
The air was filled with the bitter smell of the medicine. Judge Cui sat beside Jiuxi's bed and slowly fed the medicine into Jiuxi's mouth. As he fed her, he patiently said, "It's obvious that he is still very worried about Your Highness, but now, he is hurting Your Highness like this."
Jiuxi swallowed the medicine, his brows only furrowed for a moment, then quickly relaxed. He said unhappily, "He's not worried about me, because my heart seems to be very important."
Judge Cui's eyes were filled with deep thought as he advised, "Your Highness, I think it would be best for you to stay in the underworld. Every time you leave, you come back with such severe injuries.
If you...if you are gone, how can I be worthy of your father..."
Jiuxi's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she pinched the corner of the quilt and said, "This king wants to save Ji Chen. Whether Ji Chen is a zombie or a human, this king... wants to save him."
Judge Cui placed the empty medicine bowl on the table, his eyes deep, "Your Highness, have you ever thought about how big the impact would be on the six realms if Ji Chen turned into a zombie?
The people of the Immortal Realm are treacherous and cunning, so they naturally dare not offend the Zombie Clan. If that happens, Your Highness will become the target of public criticism."
Jiuxi's expression changed slightly, his eyes filled with determination, "But I really can't bear to see Ji Chen die."
"Yes, Your Highness..."
"Judge, my injury has healed. It's time to go to the South China Sea!" Jiuxi was about to get out of bed, but as soon as she lifted the quilt, she felt dizzy and her limbs ached. She stroked her temples with two fingers, her expression extremely painful, and said to Judge Cui, "My body..."
Why so weak?
Judge Cui said respectfully, "Your Highness, I suggest you rest in the underworld for a few days."
At this moment, two little ghosts stood at the door. They were Xiaojia and Xiaoyi, who had been away for a long time. Xiaojia made a face at Jiuxi, stretched out his hand to stop him, and said angrily, "Your Highness, Xiaojia will not allow you to leave!"
Xiao Yi put his hands on his hips, looking dissatisfied, "Your Highness, you can only leave when you are well again!"
Jiuxi suddenly smiled helplessly and replied softly, "Okay."
Ming Ye, who was riding the phoenix all the way back to the South China Sea, looked at the bright moon on the sea and couldn't help but become dazed. Jing Zhi's voice and smile were reflected on the sea. He felt inexplicably irritated. What was the connection between Jing Zhi and Jiuxi?
