Chapter 875 Princess Arrives
“That… Princess… you’re not joking with your maids, are you? Shouldn’t your Heavenly Soul look like you? And we’ve met her before.” a petite and cute zombie maid questioned hesitantly.
“Xue Ling’er, you talk too much. I say she is her, and you dare to question me?” Ye Xiuyun said displeasedly.
“Yes, yes, yes… your subordinate dares not!” The little maid named Xue Ling’er was startled and repeatedly kowtowed her apology.
Qi Huang couldn’t help but think, “Isn’t this pure suicidal behavior?”
“Princess, what exactly do you want to do?” Jian Yi Ren, the leader, asked cautiously.
“I want to go with you to the appointment,” Ye Xiuyun replied calmly.
“No, you are so weak now that even we can’t be fooled, let alone those old monsters.” Jian Yi Ren immediately objected. Ever since she first met the princess, she knew that what she didn’t want to see had still happened.
“Yes, Princess, if you don’t go, they might still have a shred of concern. If you expose your condition, they will definitely target our Princess Mausoleum.” another maid in her late twenties or early thirties also advised.
“I only said I want to go, I didn’t say I want to appear in front of them. At that time, I will hide in the storage ring and plan everything. Let her pretend to be my Heavenly Soul to deal with those people, so I can perfectly conceal the fact that my spiritual body is weak. Anyway, those evil spirits have never seen me, so they can’t distinguish the true from the false.” Ye Xiuyun revealed her plan.
“Princess is wise, this is indeed a good idea.” Jian Yi Ren’s eyes lit up, but she still had some concerns: “First, she doesn’t look like she’s from the Ghost Tribe; second, you are a strong cultivator at the early stage of the Demon Realm, can she really impersonate your Heavenly Soul? Third, what if there is danger in the middle? We few are not capable of protecting you.”
‘Am I being questioned?’ Qi Huang felt displeased and was considering whether to show off her skills on the spot.
“Don’t worry, the person I’ve chosen will definitely not have a problem. As long as you don’t expose yourselves.” Ye Xiuyun guaranteed confidently.
Hearing this, the few female officials and maids couldn’t say anything more, and the matter was thus settled.
Qi Huang first taught Ye Xiuyun the spirit communication technique, then put her into the storage ring, and then set off with a few maids.
That female official was obviously a cautious person, so she chattered incessantly to Qi Huang along the way, for fear that she would do something she shouldn’t.
Qi Huang ignored her. To put it bluntly, on Kaiyuan Star, there was nothing she couldn’t do.
Because Ye Xiuyun’s strength was greatly depleted, and the maids couldn’t fly fast, they could only advance with the help of flying talismans.
Qi Huang didn’t help, because going early would only be waiting pointlessly. Instead of this, it was better to enjoy the scenery along the way.
At night, the group of five “people” rested briefly in the forest. Qi Huang also released Ye Xiuyun to “get some air.”
“Princess, can I speak to you in private?” Jian Yi Ren suddenly pleaded with Ye Xiuyun, while also cautiously glancing at Qi Huang.
Ye Xiuyun was somewhat displeased, but she still followed.
The master and servant walked to a secluded place. Jian Yi Ren took out a soundproof talisman and a body protection talisman to set up a double shield, looking very cautious.
Qi Huang took out the recording mirror and examined it grandly. The surrounding zombie maids thought she was admiring herself, so they didn’t come closer to observe.
“What exactly do you want to say?” Ye Xiuyun became impatient.
“Princess, if you are being coerced by that woman, blink your eyes.” Jian Yi Ren said nervously.
“Pfft…” Qi Huang almost choked on her saliva upon hearing this.
“Why would you think that?” Ye Xiuyun asked helplessly.
“Because that woman doesn’t look like she’s from the Ghost Tribe at all. I suspect she’s a cultivator who infiltrated us. You were coerced by her, so you had to resort to this desperate measure.” Jian Yi Ren said in a low voice.
“Hehe…” Ye Xiuyun was so amused she almost laughed out loud, and it took her a lot of effort to suppress her anger. “She is not a living person. It’s just that her strength is great, so her state of returning to life is relatively high.”
“Really? Are you sure you weren’t coerced by her?” Jian Yi Ren was dubious.
“Jian Yi Ren, she is the person I’ve taken a liking to. If you question her, you are questioning this princess. Are you questioning this princess?” Ye Xiuyun even questioned her sternly, believing in the principle of using people you trust.
“Your subordinate dares not. Princess, please calm your anger.” Jian Yi Ren quickly kowtowed her apology.
“Also, we’ve already left the Princess Mausoleum. No one can guarantee that there aren’t eyes watching us in secret. To be safe, you’d better be respectful to her, and change your address. If anything goes wrong, don’t blame me for being impolite.” Ye Xiuyun warned sternly.
“Yes, yes, yes… your subordinate remembers.” Jian Yi Ren repeatedly obeyed.
Qi Huang felt refreshed, and she also admired this Qin Xin Princess. After all, she couldn’t be so serious with the people around her.
After Ye Xiuyun’s stern warning, the attitude of the four maids towards Qi Huang finally changed. They even addressed her as “Princess,” but the vigilance in their eyes never disappeared.
Qi Huang didn’t force them. It was still the same as she said, trust couldn’t be gained just by words.
Two days later, the group of “people” finally arrived at the agreed location, the Bone Sea, the third fiercest land on Kaiyuan Star.
The Bone Sea was not actually a real “sea.” “Sea” was just a metaphor to describe the numerous bones in that place.
The reality was indeed the same. This place was once the battlefield of a famous war in the history of Kaiyuan Star. Millions of people died in the war, and due to the Yin Energy, a giant fierce land was formed here, known as the Bone Sea. The owner of the Bone Sea was the marshal of one side in that war.
As Qi Huang and the others entered the territory of the Bone Sea, in order to avoid exposure, the maids beside her became increasingly respectful towards her, although it was still just an act.
Jian Yi Ren revealed her identity, and the few people entered the Bone Sea. However, because Qi Huang did not have any Yin Energy on her, they soon encountered obstacles. A group of skeleton soldiers blocked their way.
“Stop, who are you?” The Golden Bone General at the head questioned them, holding a similarly gleaming long spear.
“We are from the Princess Mausoleum of the Ghost Tribe, here to discuss matters in the Bone Sea by appointment.” Jian Yi Ren said neither servile nor overbearing, because she was also a Golden Corpse, and her strength was not weaker than this Golden Bone.
“Ghost Tribe from the Princess Mausoleum?” The Golden Bone General scrutinized them for a moment, then pointed his spear at Qi Huang and said, “Then who is she? Why did you bring a living person in?”
“Uh… she’s not a living person. She’s our Qin Xin Princess’s Heavenly Soul.” Jian Yi Ren replied awkwardly, as she felt like she was telling a blatant lie.
“Are you lying to a three-year-old? This is clearly a living person, without a trace of Yin Power on her.” The Golden Bone General raised his spear and said sternly.
“I am indeed not a living person.” Qi Huang was too lazy to waste time and directly revealed her Boundless Demonic Hair to deal with it. The traces of Yin Energy on it could perfectly disguise her identity.
Upon seeing this, Jian Yi Ren and the other maids widened their mouths in disbelief. They never dreamed that Qi Huang was truly one of the “Ghost Tribe.”
The Golden Bone General was stunned for a moment, and then his attitude changed 180 degrees. He said respectfully, “Princess, please forgive my lack of discernment. Please come in quickly. Our marshal has been waiting for a long time.”
“Hmph…” Qi Huang raised her eyebrows, then walked forward with confident steps.
Jian Yi Ren and the other maids exchanged glances, the vigilance in their eyes had long since vanished. Then, they hurriedly chased after her, shouting, “Princess, wait for me.”
Qi Huang, accompanied by the few zombie maids, passed through several checkpoints and finally arrived at the central area of the Bone Sea. At this time, tens of thousands of powerful evil spirits had already gathered there. They had all come from different places on Kaiyuan Star for the appointment.
Qi Huang scanned the area with her spiritual sense and found that in the center of the group of evil spirits, there was an open space with a large round table. The eight chairs around it were already occupied by eight powerful evil spirits, the weakest of whom were at the peak of Golden Corpse or Golden Bone.
“Eight chairs. This is clearly prepared for the origins of the eight fiercest lands of Kaiyuan Star. Then where is my chair?” Qi Huang was a little confused.
…
“Are all the Ghost Tribes from the Ten Fiercest Lands here?”
“What Ten Fiercest Lands are there now? There are only eight fiercest lands left.”
“I forgot about this. Zhong Zhen is indeed ruthless. She banished the two strongest fierce lands of Kaiyuan Star just a month after her birth.”
“Otherwise, how could they call her an immortal? If she shattered with a touch, we Ghost Tribes of the Eight Fiercest Lands wouldn’t be gathered here today.”
“Don’t talk about the Eight Fiercest Lands. The people from the Princess Mausoleum didn’t even show a ghost. I heard that their princess was struck by heavenly tribulation, so she’s likely in grave danger.”
“Is there such a thing?”
“Of course. Otherwise, why do you think the evil spirit origin of the Long Family Yi Zhuang dares to take a seat? That chair was prepared for the Qin Xin Princess of the Princess Mausoleum.”
…
The discussions of the surrounding evil spirits came intermittently.
“So my chair has been occupied by the evil spirit origin of that Yi Zhuang!” Qi Huang realized, and felt a little unhappy.
“Princess Qin Xin has arrived. Ghost tribes in front, make way.” Jian Yi Ren also didn’t want to lose face, so she shouted loudly.
