Chapter 116 The King is About to Return
"Any news about my brother?" Mu Qianjin got straight to the point.
"Don't be in such a hurry, it's not easy to find people in Tianshan." Jiuyou Hou changed her lying position and said, "Go and make me a cup of tea."
"Okay." Mu Qianjin nodded and turned to make tea.
She already knew her brother had gone to Tianshan, and she only asked Han Ji to confirm if he had any news about her brother.
If Han Ji had information about Mu Qiannian, he would have made up a place to say it, but the fact that he didn't say it meant that he didn't have any news about Mu Qiannian either.
She had already asked Jiuyouhou to go find him, and the price was simple: she couldn't refuse when Jiuyouhou summoned her.
Every time I call them over, I make them some tea or something.
After Jiuyou, she felt very comfortable. No wonder the old man had made her make tea every day.
It's quite fun to order around a young girl.
The last time someone served me like this was more than two thousand years ago.
"By the way, has Su Ming come out of Helan Mountain? Do you have any news?" Jiuyou asked casually.
It's not appropriate for her to appear among the higher-ups in the human world, so it's better to let Mu Qianjin ask her.
The principal of the ancient capital academy has a wide network of information, and since Su Ming is a student of their school, any news would definitely reach his ears as soon as possible.
This information isn't exactly classified; if someone asked him, he would just tell them off without holding anything back.
"No news yet, but I have a feeling he's about to come out."
"A woman's intuition?"
"Um."
"Why don't I?" Empress Jiuyou was somewhat unconvinced. Wasn't she a woman?
Although she is a ghost, she is a female ghost, and there is only one female ghost in the world as beautiful as her, and that is the Queen of the Nine Netherworlds.
"Do you still care about this kind of thing?" Mu Qianjin laughed. Although Jiuyouhou was the ruler of the dead, she was quite interesting and unlike other undead, she didn't always think about killing.
Compared to the undead, the Queen of the Nine Netherworlds is more like a human.
"The tea is ready, have a taste." Mu Qianjin brought over a cup of tea, and Jiuyou took a sip, finding it quite delicious.
However, she definitely couldn't say such things aloud, otherwise it would be beneath her dignity as a ruler of a thousand years.
She pondered for a moment, pretending to think, then sighed, "No, your skills still need improvement."
"Oh." Mu Qianjin obediently found a place to sit down.
"By the way, would you like to take a walk around that ancient tomb outside the ancient capital?" Jiuyou suddenly became interested. The ancient tomb she had asked Su Ming to go to before was this one, but he hadn't shown up. The ancient tomb was suppressed by her until now when she could no longer suppress it and chose to release it.
"I heard that tomb is very dangerous. A high-level mage has gone missing there. What use would it be for me to go?" Mu Qianjin replied.
"Don't worry, I know that place very well. It's a folded space. The king created it to train new recruits, but it's gotten a bit out of control over time. To put it simply, high-level mages will encounter high-level dangers if they go in. If the strongest mage in the team is only mid-level, then it's a mid-level standard. Overall, there shouldn't be any danger," Jiuyou said confidently.
Wang left many good things inside when he set it up, which she can take out and use.
However, even though she is now one of the eight fallen rulers, she doesn't dare to go in easily.
When the king was alive, he was the most powerful mage in the world. Who knows what might appear inside? It's best to let someone else go.
Danger must not befall oneself.
Wang originally created this thing to hone the skills of the younger generation; the best is a mid-level that is close to the high-level.
"Forget it, I don't dare to go." Mu Qianjin shook her head, admitting directly that she was afraid.
The ancient tombs of the dead outside the ancient capital are extremely dangerous, and they know nothing about us. Mu Qianjin doesn't fight battles she's not confident of winning.
She felt it was best to just wait for her brother to come back. Let whoever wanted to get involved get involved; she wasn't going to.
"How about this, if you go inside and retrieve those few undead crystals, I'll personally go to Tianshan to find your brother, okay?" Over the past few years, Jiuyouhou had seen through Mu Qianjin's character; she only had her brother in her heart, and no one else besides Mu Qiannian.
She should accept this suggestion.
To be honest, Jiuyou was also a little anxious. After all, she couldn't control the ancient tomb, and because it had been in disrepair for many years, she was worried that the spirit crystals inside had been taken away by someone else.
In that case, all the effort she put into suppressing the ancient tomb would be wasted.
"Let me think about it." Mu Qianjin hesitated. The offer from the Nine Netherworld Queen was too tempting for her, but she was still rational and knew that she shouldn't venture into that ancient tomb lightly.
"Then tell me when you've thought it through. Remember how many people you're with. It's quite dangerous for one person to be alone." Jiuyou shouted at Mu Qianjin as she left, but she just waved to indicate that she understood.
"Hehe, quite an interesting little girl, but her days are numbered." Jiuyouhou whistled as she basked in the sun.
Suddenly, a cloud of black mist appeared around her. The black mist continued to rise and formed one ferocious and terrifying creature after another. Just as the black mist was about to block out the sun in the sky, Jiuyouhou glanced at it with displeasure.
His eyes were extremely cold, as if he was about to say, "If you don't stop, I'll kill you."
This sight startled him greatly, and he immediately withdrew the black energy. Only after the sunlight returned did Jiuyou return to normal.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness."
"Get to the point," Jiuyou said, waving her hand to interrupt the man's flattery.
Ghosts are different from other undead; they possess a certain level of intelligence, even the lowest-ranking ones. Unlike other creatures, only monarchs possess a certain level of intelligence, and even leaders do not have much intelligence.
"There's no news about the person you mentioned from the Tianshan Mountains yet, but someone who can control the rain has come to the Black Vatican."
"We have found him in several places, and some of his companions lost control after being drenched in that kind of rain."
"I see."
"Your Highness, please rest. I'll be leaving now." After saying this, the person slowly retreated outside.
"Wu Ku," Jiuyou murmured. She had seen this person before in Helan Mountain, the one who caused the demons to lose control of the rain.
That's really interesting. Jiuyou has been out for so long, but she hasn't been doing nothing. She's done a lot of research on the Black Vatican organization.
The Nine Netherworlds know a thing or two about what they want to do: awaken the King…
Recently, the king has indeed become quite restless. Before the Black Vatican's operation, the king had been in a deep sleep and showed no signs of waking up, no matter how long it took. The eight fallen kings were also forced into a deep sleep.
But in reality, very few of them are asleep; most of them have come out on their own.
As for the king, Jiuyouhou did hope that he would awaken, because even if the Black Church's actions caused great chaos, it wouldn't matter.
After all, she was not human, but a ghost, a spirit, a subject of the king, longing for his return.
