But then, Jiuxi thought, since Gong Ci came to the human world, Mingye must have come as well.
However, Gong Ci threw the Third Prince's body to the ground and immediately poured her a basin of cold water. With a complicated look in his eyes, he said, "The Lord is not here."
Jiuxi looked at Gong Ci with a gloomy expression, and the word "oh" she said sounded very long.
Gong Ci glanced at the Third Prince, who was sleeping like a dead pig, and then looked at his swollen lower body. With a hint of displeasure in his eyes, he said, "He flirted with you? Do you want to cripple his hands?"
When Gong Ci said this, it was as if he was asking you what you ate today, so normal.
Jiuxi waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No need. I've already kicked him, so we're even."
Unexpectedly, Gong Ci's gloomy expression became even more tense, but he suppressed the things hidden in his heart and explained, "Your Majesty has encountered some difficult problems, and he may not be able to..."
Jiuxi said calmly, "It's okay, it's okay, his business is more important."
But she still had a doubt in her heart. The agreed ten days had passed. What on earth had happened to Mingye?
The atmosphere between Gong Ci and Jiuxi was very cold. They were no longer as familiar with each other as before. Jiuxi even thought that Gong Ci would show her a cynical smile, but no, Gong Ci's face would not be moved by anything.
Jiuxi pointed to the lake awkwardly and said, "There's a female ghost in there."
Gong Ci's face was expressionless, "Yeah."
His voice was calm and expression was dull, without any emotion at all.
"She killed a lot of people. I want to go down and capture her." Jiuxi continued.
Gong Ci, who was very frugal with words, finally nodded and said, "The ghost energy at the bottom of this river is very strong. Even if you are a fairy, you will be affected. I will go."
A hint of worry flashed across Gong Ci's eyes, but it quickly disappeared, like the wind.
When Gong Ci jumped into the water, Jiuxi hurriedly said, "That female ghost has fragments of my mother's soul in her body."
With a gulp, Gong Ci sank down, but not long after, Gong Ci's light voice could still be heard, "Hmm."
I should, I should get it back to her.
This place was truly desolate. Even after such a long time, there was no sign of eunuchs or palace maids. Strangely enough, after the palace had left, numerous rotting corpses floated to the surface. They were all suspended above the lake, drifting aimlessly. Their causes of death varied. Some still had bruises on their necks, some were frightened to death, but most of the corpses were naked...
Jiuxi salvaged all the bodies. It was impossible to bury them on the spot, so he lit a fire and burned all the bodies.
The Third Prince, who was originally snoring loudly, smelled the strong smell of smoke and was choked to sit up. He kept coughing and looked at the familiar figure in black before him. He said, "Aunt...Miss, when did you go change your clothes?"
Jiu Xi sighed inwardly, but still kept his tone cold and pretended to be a man's rough voice, saying, "Your Highness, my senior sister has passed away. I am her junior brother."
The Third Prince responded in a serious tone, pointing at the raging flames and smoke, blinking his eyes, and asked, "Young Master, what's burning? Hey, why does my head hurt so much?"
"Burning the corpses at the bottom of the lake." But Jiuxi still couldn't help but smile. Could it be that the pain in his vitals was not as bad as that knife attack?
Taking advantage of the night, Jiuxi turned around and couldn't help but look at the third prince's lower body. It was originally swollen like a small tent, but now it was completely paralyzed...
