"Your Highness, will we rest here tonight?"

Gong Jiu casted a glance behind him and nodded without saying anything. He originally wanted to travel day and night to return to Fengyuan as soon as possible, but he stopped.

"Why should I stop the march? "Is it because of that girl?"

Shaking his head, he pushed the ridiculous idea out of his mind and watched the sky darken as he got out of the carriage.

"Reporting to Your Highness, Li Hen and the Heavens seek an audience with the Prince."

Not long after entering the tent, someone came to report. Gong Jiu waved his hand in annoyance: "I won't see you."

He knew that Gong Jiu must be here to negotiate terms with him again, but that Hu'er wouldn't be able to give him what he wanted, so he didn't bother wasting his breath on him.

"If he interrupts again, tie him up and throw him aside."

"Yes."

"Yes." The guard replied and walked out of the tent. He looked at Li Hantian, who was stubbornly standing outside the tent, and said, "Your highness doesn't have time to see you. Don't disturb me anymore. Otherwise, there won't be any benefit for you."

Li Hantian was still stubbornly standing outside the tent, looking up at the night sky. At this moment, the rain had already stopped, and the heavy autumn air seeped into his clothes. He helplessly looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh. How could he not have been able to help her in any way?

When he was rescued, he had seen GongJiu once, but GongJiu had ignored him and had ordered someone to take them to a nearby village to change into some dry clothes before setting off on the road.

"I hate the heavens. Dinner is ready, let's go home and eat."

A delicate voice rang out behind him like a celestial sound.

Looking back, Ji Tian Ning was standing behind him with a smile on her face. She extended her hand and took his hand as they walked towards the tent.

The guard hastily entered. "Your Highness, that Ji Ji has dragged Li Tian away."

Gong Jiu shut his eyes and rested, not saying anything as the guards retreated.

"Someone, bring Ji Tian Ning here to meet this king."

After dinner, they rested for a short while before the palace sent someone to bring Ji Tian Ning over.

"The prince has ordered for you to go pay your respects to him."

Li Hantian stood in front of Ji Tian Ning and said, "I'll go with her."

"The prince only wants me to bring Miss Ji."

The guard stared coldly at Li Hantian, "Hu'er, be smart, this is the prince's army camp."

Ji Tian Ning walked to Li Hantian's side and said with a smile, "Wait for me here. If there's nothing else, I'll go talk to the prince about it. I'll be back very soon. There's no need to worry, the prince would not want to kill me, otherwise he would not fish us out from the river. "

Hateful Sky looked worriedly at Ji Tian Ning. He wanted to say something, but was stopped by Ji Tian Ning's gaze.

He walked out of the tent and followed the guard to the main tent of the palace. When Hateful Sky walked to the entrance of the tent, he was stopped by a few guards.

"Reporting to Your Highness, Miss Ji has arrived."

"Come in."

A pleasant, smiling, pretty face came in from outside the big tent, blinking innocently at him with its big eyes. It was as if they were meeting old friends and were overjoyed. There was no trace of nervousness or fear from the meeting with their mortal enemies.

"Prince, you have a good evening. Have you eaten?"

He casually threw out a greeting that sounded like it came from the capital, and without being polite, he glanced around the tent. Seeing that there were no seats, he directly sat on the bed of the Nine Heavens Palace.

"The weather is really bad, and we still haven't let the weather clear up until now."

Gong Jiu looked at Ji Tianning. Did this Yi-ji think that she was chatting with her neighbors after dinner?

He couldn't help but admire Ji Tian's strong Spiritual Stance. A hint of interest flashed across his eyes.

"How dare you! How dare you be disrespectful in front of the prince?!" Get up and kneel down and pay your respects to the prince. "

The guard reprimanded and signaled with his eyes for Ji Tian Ning to pay his respects to the palace for nine days.

Ji Tian Ning ignored him as she looked at Gong Jiu and said with a smile, "If I'm the only one here, then I won't pay any more attention to you. Prince or Prince, I won't change my mind." I believe that Prince will not be so stingy as to force a weak girl like me, right? "

"Get out."

The guard hurriedly saluted and left. He looked at Ji Tian Ning with a sympathetic gaze. He did not want to see such a delicate woman being punished by the King.

"These are all yours. What are they for?"

On the table were Ji Tian Ning's things, bottles, and even surgical packs. There was a dazzling array of items on the table.

"Your highness, my things aren't that easy to move. Your highness was too careless."

Gong Jiu leaned back in his chair and stared coldly at Ji Tian Ning, "I am not your emperor on a white horse. It is child's play for me to use such a trick."

"Oh, is that so?"

A hint of ridicule appeared in his eyes as he calmly looked at Gong Jiu.

That smile and mocking gaze caused Gong Jiu to feel uneasy. It was as if this was the first time in many years that he had felt this way. Could it be that he couldn't even touch this girl's things?

He didn't seem to feel anything was amiss, but why did he feel uneasy when he saw her eyes and expression, as well as her smile?

"Don't you feel that your fingertips are numb at the moment?"

Gong Jiu didn't move, but his fingertips moved involuntarily. Naturally, he did not let Ji Tian Ning discover his little trick. His gaze became even colder.

His fingertips were indeed a little numb. His gaze swept across the items on the table. He only picked up a few of the items and then put them down. The person who came out to search these items was not him, but his bodyguard.

Gong Jiu wanted to call the guards over to see if there was anything wrong with it, but this way, Ji Tian Ning would definitely laugh mockingly at him. He sat firmly on his chair. His piercing gaze seemed to want to pierce through Ji Tian Ning's heart.

"Your highness's face is turning green. This is caused by a depression in the liver, and your face is dark. This is caused by an irregular change in Yin and Yang. Your fingertips are numb and your knuckles are stiff, this is caused by the voodoo poison." This voodoo toxin was colourless and tasteless, its nature was slow and hard to detect. Its function is to allow people to touch it, and then slowly penetrate their entire body from the point of contact to the point of contact. "

Ji Tian Ning smiled as she looked at Gong Jiujiu, seemingly concerned, "I believe that the prince has just touched something of mine. At this moment, only my fingertips are numb or my knuckles are stiff."

Hearing Ji Tian Ning's words, Gong Jiu felt that his fingertips had become even more numb and his knuckles seemed to have become stiff.

"Someone, send Tang Mu Chen in."

"This lowly general pays his respect to Your Highness."

A valiant looking man in a military uniform walked into the tent. He was the person who had stuck his head into the carriage when Ji Tian Ning had just woken up. However, when this person bowed, his movements were slightly stiff. Even the expression on his face seemed a little wooden.

When Gong Jiu looked at Tang Mu Chen, he ordered him to retrieve Ji Tian Ning's things. He then threw all those useless and harmless things back to Tang Mu Chen. These strange things were all kept by Tang Mu Chen until the camp was set up.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. This lowly general is unwell, please forgive me."

Tang Mu Chen's tone was a bit slow. Tang Mu Chen felt that something was strange. What was going on?

Hearing Tang Mu Chen's drawn-out tone, Gong Jiu's expression darkened.

"This medicine is called Zombie Powder. Anyone who comes into contact with it will unconsciously become numb and their joints become stiff. Even their speech will gradually become slow. As I look at myself stiffening a little, I first felt that it was inconvenient to move my four limbs, and then my entire body became immobile. "

Tang Mu Chen's expression changed, anger in his eyes. He placed his hand on the sword beneath his ribs, but this one movement made him feel a bit troubled.

"The medicinal properties of Zombie Powder are very slow. It will take at least three days and three nights before the joint becomes stiff and can't be bent. It will take five days and five nights before the user loses the ability to move. Only after seven days and seven nights would he be able to see himself become a zombie. Hehe, isn't it fun? Originally, this item was only placed on the items that I carried with me to prepare for the little thieves who would plunder the place. "

"Zombie Loose …"

Gong Jiu's gaze was sinister to the extreme. From the sound of it, this terrifying name wasn't anything good. Ji Tian Ning's introduction made his heart tremble.

When he thought of how he would be unable to move and turn into a zombie with his own eyes, he felt a chill run down his spine.

This, it would be better to just be poisoned to death, and in the end, whether he would become a living zombie or a real zombie, Gong Jiu didn't want to know, and didn't dare to think about it.

"She's a beauty, so of course we have to be on guard against those little thieves and perverts. Sigh, if no one is greedy for money and wants to touch my things, they would naturally not be poisoned by this poison. Thus, this poison is only used to prepare for those bandits who have ulterior motives towards money. "

Da-do!

Tang Mu Chen's face was ashen, but he continued to shout at Ji Tian Ning. His words, due to the poison being stretched out, seemed especially laughable, as it lost its purpose of intimidation.

Ji Tian Ning stuck out her tongue as she grimaced at Tang Mu Chen. "You should still worry about your own poison. A Preparatory Level Zombie, it won't be long before you become a living zombie. "Of course, in the near future, you will be one of the ten great voodoo poisons, and the zombie will be the first real zombie to leave the Southern Champion list."

"Humph …"

Gong Jiu let out a cold laugh from his nostrils. He looked at Ji Tian Ning coldly. "Ji, do you think that you can threaten this king just by using this method?"

A pair of large clear and innocent eyes looked at Gong Jiujiu, and very innocently said: "When did I threaten Your Highness? Those things are all personal belongings of mine. If it wasn't for those who are greedy for money and wanted to take them for themselves, no one would have been poisoned. "

"Men, bring that Hu'er here."

"Yes sir!"

Gong Jiu cast a sidelong glance at Ji Tian Ning. He did not see any expression of panic on Ji Tian Ning's face. On her delicate face, there was a hint of ridicule. Her pitch-black eyes were deep like the night sky, causing one to be unable to see through her.

"Does Your Highness want to use Hateful Heavens to force me to hand over the cure?" What would the prince do? Put a knife to his neck, or tie it outside with a whip? I am afraid that such an uncreative act was not done by someone as brilliant as your highness, or perhaps your highness has another ace up his sleeve? "

Ji Tian Ning's words revealed what Gong Jiu was thinking. A trace of fear flashed in his eyes. The thing he disliked the most was being guessed at.

He didn't say anything as he coldly stared at Ji Tian Ning. Could it be that this witch had a spell that could see through the hearts of humans?

"If this is the case, then it can be explained why the Fire Lin child has such feelings for her, why Feng Er was threatened by her, and why she escaped from the palace the day before the execution of the fire."

Thinking about how much the reverse scale had doted on Ji Tian Ning, if Ji Tian Ning was able to see through his thoughts, then it wouldn't be a surprise. When Gong Huanfeng was being treated, he was secretly poisoned with a voodoo toxin. This could also be explained in such a way. Furthermore, escaping the day before the execution of the burning punishment and being able to see through the thoughts in the Fiery-Reduced Scale's mind was also a very suitable explanation.

"Feng'er has already promised her that she would help her escape the palace and bring her to a safe place. Why did she escape on her own, halfway out of the palace? "Could it be that she can really foresee Feng'er's thoughts and know that everything has been arranged. Even if she escapes from the palace, she still cannot be free?"

Thinking of this, Gong Jiu became even more fearful of Ji Tian Ning. At the same time, he felt that he could not allow this witch to live in this world.

"Your highness, are you thinking about how and when to kill me?"

Gong Jiu was startled. Why did Ji already know that just as he thought this?

In reality, Ji Tian Ning had only reached this conclusion through analysis and inference. She did not know what the palace was thinking because of her Mind Reading. However, in the hearts of the nine heavens of the palace, they believed that Ji Tian Ning had a spell that could see through the hearts of men.

"This King will let you understand what it means to beg for death, to not be able to beg for death. At that time, there will be times when you will have to beg for your life."

"Same here, wait until the Prince becomes the noble Zombie King, I don't know who will come begging who. Oh right, Your Highness, don't forget, the lives of the Queen and her son are also in your hands. "

"Haha …"

Gong Jiu smiled from his extreme anger. It had been many years since he had last been this angry. He covered the anger in his heart with a smile. He did not want to get angry in front of Ji Tian Ning because he could do nothing about it.
