[1117] has something to say

The sound of Haitao is getting closer, the waves are beating against the hull of the seabird ship, washing over the hull that is coated with tung oil for corrosion protection.
Now with the tailwind, the nine water soldiers of the Jiuyou Nation on deck set sail and harnessed the wind, swiftly heading east in the direction where the dark moon sets.
The deep blue moonlight tints the sea surface into a dark blue.
Under the sea waves, numerous shimmering bioluminescent organisms sparkle with colorful and dazzling lights. They rise from the deep sea floor shrouded in darkness, covering the entire sea surface, basking in the moonlight. They echo the dazzling starry sky above.
Many of these colorful plankton are splashed onto the side of the Sea Bittern by the waves, giving both sides of Xiao Shizhu's ship a colorful pattern.
Yun Mu, sitting idly in the cabin, had a lifeless and empty gaze as he stared at the moonlight shining through the window paper.
She was wearing clean and dry clothes, the same outfit she fell into the water with, but it had disappeared without a trace.
Her pristine dress and pale face, devoid of any hint of color, made her appearance somewhat eerie.
Her mind was in chaos, drowning, screaming, struggling, and various fragments of memories intertwined together, filling her mind with the turbulent mess that had previously been empty due to her long-term coma.
She even thought of that secret order, the secret order before leaving the land of Dongying.
The secret order claimed that as long as she completed the mission and returned to the Green Hill Fox Country, she would be able to abolish her slave status and regain her freedom.
Ke Yumumoqing doesn't understand where she went wrong, but why does she have to face such a brutal silencing?
She felt more and more confused, feeling a slight pounding sensation beneath her forehead as if someone was tapping it with a small hammer. She instinctively raised her hand to support her brow, furrowing her brows tightly. She also let out a soft gasp of cold air, making a sound similar to "sigh".
After a moment, Yun Mu recovered his senses and turned his head towards the partially closed cabin door, hearing faint footsteps outside.
Yes, the Nine Hades did not confine her, giving her ample room to move around.
Even though there are few places for a small albatross to go in this vast ocean, the soldiers of the Nine You Kingdom did not purposely confine Yun Mo under their watchful eyes.
This actually made Yun Mo feel less nervous, but instead more puzzled.
She had never experienced such treatment before, and this freedom made her feel like she was in a dream.
The footsteps outside the cabin door grew closer and within an instant, they arrived at the doorstep.
With a slight creak, the door swung open on its hinges.
Cloudy dusk turned towards the sound and saw a familiar figure stepping inside. Reply with the translated content only.
Although we are not very familiar, this ghost has a young face with divine eyes, an unmistakable depth, and a hidden air of dominance between their eyebrows. This has always left a deep impression on her.
Here comes Xiao Shizhu, the Nine Ghost King.
By his side were Qing Lan, General Lin, and a ghost physician.
This ghost physician is the one who has been preparing medicine for the unconscious Yun Mu these past few days. It was also him who first noticed Yun Mu awakening tonight.
Cloud Muzi quickly got up, about to kneel down to Xiao Shizhu. However, Xiao Shizhu's quick eyes and agile hands blew up a gust of cold wind, to hold up Cloud Muzi, and said, "Just sit and talk."
Language complete, Yun Mo sat down opposite Gu Yi on the chair brought by Qing Lan.
At the same time, he gestured with his eyes to the ghost doctor, who approached and took Yun Mo's pulse again.
After Qing Lan placed a chair for General Lin, she walked towards the tea table inside the cabin, turned the tea pot on the table, and left.
The ghost doctor approached, and asked Yunmu to sit down before lifting her arm and gently pressing his two fingers on the inside of her wrist, starting to feel her pulse.
Xiao Shizhu remained silent, quietly waiting for the ghost doctor to feel her pulse.
After a moment, the ghost doctor stopped and turned to Xiao Shizhu, saying, "Lord, her physical strength has started to recover, but she still needs the Purple- Gold Lion Tiger Pill to restore her internal energy and strengthen her body."
"Hmm, just give it to her." Xiao Shizhu said without hesitation.
Yun Muxin was surprised. Although she was a slave, she had been by the side of the Qingqiu Fox King recently and had seen and heard many rare things. She knew that this Purple Gold Lion Tiger Pill was not an ordinary item among the ghost medicines in the Netherworld. It required the use of the Nine Yin Qi and the combination of more than a dozen kinds of ghost medicines and immortal herbs to refine it. Its price was exorbitant and frightening.
They say that powerful ghosts can take medicine when they have nothing to do, average ghosts take medicine when they are sick, and low-level ghosts don't have medicine to take. As for this very low-ranking slave ghost, how could she dare to expect such fortune?
Immediately, she panicked and got up in a hurry, saying, "Nine, Nine Underworld King, that, that is too expensive. I... I... I only need to sleep for a while."
她心惊胆战，无非是担心一件事，怕以后萧石竹问她要药钱。
多少有点小人之心了。
萧石竹一看她额上都渗出的汗珠，顿时知道了缘由。
This kind of scene, he hasn't seen it in many years. When he plotted to conquer the south, he witnessed many similar scenes along the way. Wherever he went, there were many people with burdened souls or other enslaved spirits. Once they received help, they would be both pleasantly surprised and worried about the cost, in a flustered manner. Please note that the @ matches and the corresponding translated content have been preserved in the translation.
In recent years, the Nine Nether Country has achieved equality among its hundred ghost inhabitants, breaking a long-standing tradition that had persisted for hundreds of thousands of years.
Seeing it again now, Xiao Shizhu felt both fresh and unfamiliar.
After a slight smile from both him and General Lin, he spoke up to dispel Yun Mu's worries, saying, "I, Xiao Shizhu, didn't save people for money, and I don't seem to be short on funds for those medicines either."
After saying that, he let the ghost doctor go to fetch the medicine.
His words and actions moved Yun Mu to tears, and he couldn't help but kneel down and kowtow three times to Xiao Shizhu. The force was so strong that it made the planks of the boat resound three times.
With nothing to offer and no way to repay, Yunmu could only kowtow to Xiaoshi Zhu.
Instead, Xiaoshi Zhu felt even more uncomfortable. He was not used to this kind of thing. In his own words, he felt like he was dead and people were mourning him.
Hastily, Yun Mu accepted this set of humiliating "divine powers".
When Yun Mu stood up again, wiping away his tears, Xiao Shizhu stated a fact: "So you're not truly the Fox Queen, are you?"
Yun Mo nodded and honestly told Xiao Shizhu everything, without hiding anything.
This included their true identity and how they reached an agreement with the Green Hill Fox King.
Such is the case, Yunmu also knows that there is no point in hiding anymore.
Even the Fox King of Qingqiu wanted to kill her, so Yunmu is unwilling to hide the truth for such a ghost. All she hopes is that after Xiaoshi Zhu knows the truth, she won't let her meet her untimely end, that is all.
This is also something she wanted to confess to Xiao Shizhu, but what she didn't expect is that Xiao Shizhu already knew in advance that she was a fake princess.
After listening to her confession, Xiao Shizhu's expression remained calm.
He was not surprised. The Green Hill Fox King is known for his heartless and unprincipled actions. The kindness shown to him by the Nine You Empire is much greater than that of Yun Mu, yet he still plotted against the Nine You Empire, didn't he?
Surprisingly, Xiao Shizhu asked after a moment of thought, "Who attacked you?"
He wanted to know who acted as the killer of Yun Mu.
"Lord Hu Shidou," Yun Mu replied in a soft voice, rolling up his sleeve to reveal the healed scar on his arm.
"But he just cut me with a knife and threw me into the sea."
Xiao Shizhu looked closely in the dim candlelight, and the scar was not long, only about an inch, and the width was not large. It seemed to be caused by a short knife or dagger-like weapon.
Just in this position, it's not capable of causing fatal injuries.
"He intends to let you go?" Xiao Shizhu immediately voiced his doubts.
Yun Mu shook her head confusedly. Even now, she still doesn't know what Hu Shidou intends to do and why he's doing it.
And in the vast sea, even if Hu Shidou didn't actually kill Yunmu, his chances of survival are slim.
There are many sea creatures that go berserk when they smell blood.
If it weren't for the merfolk soldiers of Xiao Shizhu or other boats discovering Yun Mu, she would surely be devoured by fish.
Deep in thought, Xiao Shizhu furrowed his brow as he considered a deeper possibility. If Hu Shidou had intentions to rescue people, would he be aware of the merfolk of the Nine Nether Nation secretly following their boats?
Xiao Shizhu pondered for a moment and beckoned to Qing Lan.
The Blue Mist understood, he bent down and listened as Xiao Shizhu whispered a few words in his ear.
Not just Yun Mu who was standing far away, even General Lin beside him couldn't hear clearly, so he said to the Blue Mist.
After hearing Qinglan's words, Zhen merely nodded and turned around to leave the cabin.
Just as Qinglan left, Xiaoshi Zhu turned to Yun Mu and asked slowly, "What are your plans for the next step?"
Originally, Yun Mo had managed to dispel her nervousness, but she found herself at a loss when he asked this unexpected question. Feeling helpless because she had never thought about it, Yun Mo became even more uncertain.
"If there's anywhere you want to go, just let me know, and I'll arrange for someone to take you there," Xiao Shizhu said, seeing her struggle to make a decision. Without pressuring her, he left these words and stood up, adding, "Rest well, we can provide healing for you."
After he finished speaking, General Lin also stood up, intending to leave with Xiao Shizhu.
Yunmu took a look and found that not only did Xiao Shizhu not have any intention of harming her, but also did not restrict her freedom, which made her more confused.
Speaking of which, she was originally just a ghost slave and never enjoyed such treatment before, so it's normal for her to be overwhelmed.
She was instantly stunned, not knowing what to say or do, just clutching the hem of her clothes in silence.
"Tell the soldiers outside the door what you want to eat, and they will provide you with any food available on the ship," Xiao Shizhu said, while walking towards the door. Just as he was about to reach the door, Yun Mu suddenly called out to him, "King Jiuyou."

Xiao Shizhu turned around and saw Yun Mu, who had already stood up. "What's wrong?" he asked.
"There's something else I want to tell you," Yun Mu said softly, lowering his head slightly. After saying these words, he suddenly looked up at Xiao Shizhu, and his hand stopped moving the corner of his robe. Translated: "
Xiao Shizhu nodded slightly and said, "Go on."
"During the few days I spent on a ship in the Qingqiu Fox Country, I accidentally overheard their sailors saying that the Fox King had already sent out carrier pigeons to notify the generals to quickly mobilize troops. I don't know what they are planning, but they mentioned the central region and the urgent dispatch of supplies as well."
"I had never dared to tell anyone on board about this before. I didn't dare to listen much, but the gist of it is pretty much like this."
After Yunmu finished speaking all he knew, he fell silent again.
Xiao Shizhu smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "Thanks."
After speaking, he left the cabin with General Lin, leaving Yun Mu standing alone in the cabin, bathed in the dim moonlight.
