"First, you have to admit that you are already dead, otherwise our conversation cannot continue."

Abis brushed off the dust from his body, stood up from the ground, and regained his usual calm demeanor.

Leona didn't seem to like looking up at Abis. She stood still for a moment, turned around to cover the coffin lid behind her, then slightly moved her knees and jumped onto it. The coffin and the platform about forty to fifty centimeters high provided enough support for Leona to stand, and she looked down on Abis with a sense of superiority, as if this perspective allowed her to communicate with him.

"Okay, since my heart is no longer beating, I'll go along with you and consider myself dead."

Leona's voice was a bit hoarse, and she coughed lightly to clear her throat.

"Okay, then let me begin." Abis started to explain with his hands behind his back. "You have been dead for forty-two years. You died from an unknown curse. Very few people know about this secret, but I heard a trace of it from the soul of a court guard who was executed for knowing too much. After seeing you in person, I am even more certain of the cause of your death."

"Nonsense! I haven't felt any changes in my body. How do you know something I didn't even know about? Just hearsay and random speculation?"

Leona immediately expressed her disdain towards Abis. From her expression, it was clear that the princess had never felt the presence of a curse on her body. However, even for an ordinary person, it would be hard to believe the words of a young man they just met, so Abis was prepared for this.

"I do have concrete evidence." Abis pointed to Leona's upper abdomen. "Recently, I encountered a necromancer who was turning living people into zombies to serve as guards while moving towards your tomb. Guess what he planned to do?"

"Throw a feast at my place?" Leona rolled her eyes. "If you're going to keep teasing me, I'm leaving."

"He belongs to an organization called the Undead Council, and he was on a secret mission to come to your grave and take away a curse artifact from your stomach."

Abis watched as Leona's face changed upon hearing these words, and she instinctively covered her stomach.

"Oh, don't worry, he has already been torn to pieces by his own zombies. He won't come to open up your belly and remove your stomach," Abis smiled reassuringly, trying to put Leona at ease.

"How do you plan to prove your so-called concrete evidence then?" Leona said, "Don't forget, you still don't have any physical evidence. There's no way a Fighting Spirit genius like me would die just because of a curse. Do you know how strong my vitality is? When I was little, I was directly trampled on the chest by a horse. If it was an ordinary child, they would have died, but I was able to get out of bed and move around three days later, and on the fourth day, I was already running around everywhere."

"It's simple, I'll open up your belly, take out your stomach, and see what's inside."

"But that means you'll have to open up my belly!" Leona exclaimed in despair.

"You're insulting my skills! I'm different from that low-level errand boy. I'm the best necromancer on the continent. Even if I open up your belly, I can instantly make it heal without leaving any traces. It's very reliable!"

Abis confidently said. That was true. The necromantic spells Abis had learned not only allowed corpses to come back to life in various forms, but also had a complete set of methods to maintain and preserve corpses and the undead. He had studied them well. When he first learned the technique of corpse beautification from his master, he was suspected of killing a living person to fake the results and his master got furious. Abis had no knowledge about applying makeup on a living person, but as long as the subject had no breath, he could instantly transform into a makeup expert.

"It's impossible. The belly of a princess like me is a treasure of mankind. How could I allow you to touch it!" Leona's face turned red as she scolded loudly, "Shameless necromancer, just because you've resurrected me doesn't mean you can do whatever you want to my pure body!"

"Well, let me ask you this. It is said that you have an incredibly good appetite and can eat the food of three adult men alone. Is that true?"

Directly confronting her didn't work, so Abis tried another approach to persuade her.Leona listened to Abis and mysteriously extended her index finger, shaking it back and forth. "Those are all rumors, lies told by minstrels to ignorant common folks," she said.

Abis was taken aback. If this information was false, then perhaps...

"Six," Leona said triumphantly after a pause. "I can eat the portion of six people in one meal. Do you think three people is underestimating this princess?"

Abis was speechless for a moment and turned to look at Flora. Flora looked back helplessly, as if saying, "I didn't expect that either."

"Pardon me for being frank, but your appetite is probably beyond what an ordinary human can reach. Have you ever wondered if there is a deeper reason behind your ability to eat so much?" Abis sighed and said to Leona, "Fighting Spirit is similar to magic; they both come from external sources of energy and are not generated by eating. Even if you are a ninth-order warrior with muscles all over your body, your appetite should still be within the range of humans. But your appetite has reached the level of a two-headed ogre."

"Who are you calling a two-headed ogre!" Leona widened her eyes, then seemed to be deep in thought as she hissed, "Actually, it seems like you're right. My appetite is indeed a bit excessive."

Abis covered his forehead. Didn't she even think about this question herself? It seemed that this princess lacked some mental acuity.

"Well... let me think... Oh, my appetite seemed to change suddenly when I was twelve. After my birthday that year, I suddenly became easily hungry, and my father used to criticize me for it," Leona said as she sat down slowly, swinging her legs naturally. Her physical condition was truly deserving of her title as the greatest talent in the history of the Fighting Spirit world. After just a short while, her joints seemed to have fully recovered their agility. It took Flora over ten hours to transition from stiffness to controlling her body like a healthy person, and that was with the help of fire and herbal medicine.

"Is there anything else unusual?" Abis asked, secretly relieved that this princess, although not too bright, still had a good memory.

"There haven't been any other abnormalities, but since that time, my abilities have been getting stronger and by the time I was sixteen, I could hardly control them anymore," Leona said as she looked at her dusty hands. "At that time, I would accidentally break things all the time. After you resurrected me, I feel like I've regained control. ABC, can you come over here for a moment?"

Without asking what she wanted to do, Abis walked straight to her.

"Thud!"

A torrential blaze of Fighting Spirit suddenly erupted from Leona's body as she delivered a straight punch to Abis's face with a resounding sonic boom.
