Chapter 135: Empress You strolls around the streets, wasting her days.
The isolation mentioned by Jiuyou should refer to the previous spatial issue; once Bifang died, this problem was resolved.
Su Ming felt a little regretful. He had spent three years with Hao Sui. Although they didn't see each other often, Bi Fang was the only one he chatted with occasionally during those three years, so he could be considered an old friend.
Furthermore, he was given a flame, which awakened the fire element, and it is currently at a high level, making it one of Su Ming's strongest elements.
"Alas, what a pity for Bifang." Su Ming sighed.
"Bifang, why are you so sorry for her? She's been dead for thousands of years, and it's uncertain whether she's still alive or not," said Jiuyouhou.
"What do you mean?" Su Ming asked, somewhat puzzled.
"You didn't know? That's understandable. You're just a little kid, it's normal that you don't know. I didn't know either before. Later, I looked up some information, reviewed my memories, and asked an old friend. I found out that Bi Fang has always been up to no good. I guess she's planning to be resurrected," Jiu You Hou analyzed.
"That's amazing! It can even revive." Su Ming was shocked. As expected, totem beasts weren't trashy things like demons; they could even revive. It was simply incredible.
"You don't really need to worry about Bifang. Just focus on yourself. She's given all her flames to you, so just use them wisely," Jiuyou said.
"How do you know?" Su Ming's expression changed. He hadn't told Jiu You Hou about this.
"What's the big deal? It's not like I've seen you before. The fire on you was practically burning me, how could I not notice? You don't have any fire-type abilities, and Bifang is a fire-type totem beast. It's not surprising that we'd make that connection."
After hearing what Jiuyou said, he quickly looked himself over, but there was no flame on his body.
Stop looking. It's just a feeling. I'm a ghost, after all. Bifang's fire is sacred; other magicians and demons wouldn't be able to tell.
Su Ming relaxed a little after Jiu You said that. It would be quite troublesome if just anyone could tell that he had fire element.
"Come on, I'll take you back to the ancient capital. Find someone to treat your wounds and then come back to me. I'll tell you the exact location later." After that, Jiuyou took Su Ming and flew directly to the sky above the ancient capital.
She was incredibly fast, faster than an airplane. Jiuyouhou held onto Su Ming, one of his hands supporting the other, which was about to fall off. Jiuyouhou was very steady, but Su Ming was unsteady, his body swaying constantly, and his arm felt like it could fall off at any moment. Humans are truly fragile.
After a moment of reflection, Jiuyou felt a pang of sadness. Just like when she was still human, she had been killed by a simple sword to the throat.
Although she did it voluntarily, it shows the fragility of humanity. Even a human like a king can die. Becoming a ghost, while turning into a demon, isn't necessarily a bad thing. At least all kinds of emotions will be reduced, and one will rarely feel emotions like sadness.
Unlike Mu Bai, whose body was intact and who had someone catch her beforehand so she could just be thrown down, Su Ming was left unattended and would surely die if thrown down.
After entering the Nine Netherworld, one can exit from inside without triggering the barrier. However, entering from outside is different and will trigger it. Therefore, she stopped outside the ancient capital and transformed into a different set of clothes, which is how she usually enters the ancient capital.
After landing, Su Ming stabilized. While he was high in the air, he had been worried that he might fall to his death, but now his heart was finally at ease.
The injury couldn't be delayed, so Su Ming immediately ran into the ancient capital. The best way was to go to the Ancient Capital Academy to find a teacher, since he was still a student there and would receive free treatment if he went there.
After Jiuyou, she leisurely strolled around the city. After all, with her strength, no one could discover that she used to spend her time either drinking tea and sunbathing in the courtyard or going out for a walk.
It has to be said that the city is so different from what it used to be, and the changes are happening so fast. She was thinking about getting a cell phone sometime, but since she doesn't have many people to contact right now, she's not in a hurry.
The sun hasn't set yet, but the streets are already packed with people. And this is just in the outer city; there will be even more people in the inner city.
After the Nine Netherworlds, she still had her original appearance, but her body had turned into a human form. At least, that's how she looked. Most people couldn't tell the difference, and they judged whether she was a demon or not based on her aura.
Most people cannot detect the humanoid demons, vampires. Although they have red eyes, they can change their eyes to normal appearance if they wish.
Unless one is extremely familiar with these kinds of demons, and their strength far surpasses that of others, it is generally impossible to distinguish them.
The Nine Netherworld Queen herself is very powerful. Unless you are a strategic-level mage, you will not be able to detect her true identity.
However, there are very few mages of that level, and none in the ancient capital at all, so she doesn't need to worry about it.
"This is really troublesome." Empress Jiuyou sighed, somewhat helplessly.
She was a great beauty in herself, and during her lifetime she was the ruler of a country, although it was not a very powerful one. Thousands of years ago, her beauty was unparalleled in the world, and she was also highly skilled in magic. There were many people who wanted to have her.
It's been a while since Jiuyou came out. Modern Asian makeup techniques can reach a level close to disguise, but she didn't have that, nor did she need it. She died in the prime of her life, preserving her appearance in its most perfect state.
From a modern perspective, she would be considered a scourge to the country and its people. Coupled with her comfortable life and well-developed figure, she attracted the attention of those around her.
I don't dislike Jiuyou, which speaks to her charm. Whether spirit or human, whether decades or millennia old, women love beauty, and that's part of her allure. It's just that she can be a bit annoying.
The Nine Netherworld Queen did not cater to modern styles; the clothes she conjured were those she wore when she went to her death. They were her most beautiful outfits—black classical dresses that looked like cosplay.
Few modern people would dress like this, except for cosplayers.
Perfect temperament, perfect looks, perfect figure, perfect outfit, and judging by the quality of the clothes, they scream "expensive!" She's either a rich heiress or a wealthy woman—simply perfect. I give her 99 points, deducting one because she's not mine.
"There are quite a few cosplay enthusiasts in the ancient capital, but I've never seen this person before. Are they from out of town? Isn't it a bit inappropriate to come to the ancient capital at this time of year?"
Why do you care so much? They've already shown it to you, why are you still bothered by these things? Besides, they're rich. Rich people don't care about different eras. Even if there's danger, it only applies to people like us.
It's not dangerous yet. Even in ancient times, things haven't gotten this chaotic. Besides, can't you see? This person has an extraordinary aura, not just something created by money and manipulation. She's definitely a magician, and possibly very powerful one. You can discuss it, but try not to do anything foolish to avoid getting yourself into trouble.
Empress Jiuyou heard too many things like this, and unfortunately, she had very good hearing. Among them were people making lewd jokes, which annoyed her.
However, it's normal to encounter unpleasant things while out and about, and Jiuyou wouldn't run back right now.
