Mo Juan nodded.
After hearing Mo Juan speak, Mu Anxiao crossed her arms in front. "Since that's the case, let's do as she says. However," she thought she might as well take this opportunity to get some information about the 'Demonic Realm' from Jiong Ye. Of course... Mo Juan's commotion had given her a chance. "You must provide me with good food and drink."
"You wish," Mo Juan shot a glare at Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao was not intimidated by Mo Juan's sudden gaze. Instead, she calmly looked at Mo Juan, who clearly did not wish her well, and smiled. "No, no, no. Rather than saying I wish for it, it's more like you are beautiful," she said, shifting her gaze to Ouyang Ye's face. "You say, she's so beautiful, why don't you like her?"
Mo Juan clenched her fists at Mu Anxiao's question.
Ouyang Ye, upon hearing Mu Anxiao's question, frowned deeply. "Mu Anxiao, it would be best if you said less."
"I wasn't going to say much, but you forced me," Mu Anxiao said. She glanced at the still half-open prison door and continued, "Hurry and close the door properly, lest I can't help but walk out, and you blame me again."
"Go." Ouyang Ye ignored Mu Anxiao and gave Zhao Mei'er a look.
Conversely, Zhao Mei'er completely failed to understand Ouyang Ye's intention. Instead, she knelt directly at Ouyang Ye's feet and cried.
Ouyang Ye was also bewildered by this scene, frowning slightly. Just as he was about to ask her what was wrong, Mu Anxiao spoke before him. "Oh, if I remember correctly, you just said you wanted to lock her up." As she said this, she fixed her gaze on Ouyang Ye's face.
Reminded by Mu Anxiao, Ouyang Ye suddenly recalled that matter. But just as he was about to order Zhao Mei'er to be locked up, Mo Juan began to speak on Zhao Mei'er's behalf. "Ye, please don't do this." She looked serious.
Mu Anxiao knew that Mo Juan would speak up for Zhao Mei'er at this juncture. As expected, it was all within her calculations. Taking a deep breath, she closed the door herself. "Zhao Mei'er, put on the chains."
Zhao Mei'er dared not move...
Immediately, Mo Juan suddenly shot a glare at Mu Anxiao. "You have no business here. Shut your mouth."
"I didn't say I had any business here," Mu Anxiao retorted deliberately.
Mo Juan was furious. "If you say one more word," she said, then suddenly remembered Ouyang Ye's presence. She swallowed her threat to Mu Anxiao with resignation and turned to Ouyang Ye. "Ye, this Mu Anxiao is unforgivable."
"You're really good at stirring up trouble," Mu Anxiao said intentionally.
The next second, Mo Juan ignored Mu Anxiao and fixed her gaze on Ouyang Ye's face, continuing to instigate. "She used magic once, she'll use it again. She should repent here properly."
"You go first." Ouyang Ye did not heed Mo Juan's words at all.
Mo Juan had not expected... Ouyang Ye to be so heartless to her in front of Mu Anxiao. She swallowed and gave a bitter, disbelieving smile. "Ye, have you gone soft?"
"Juan'er, let's go." Ouyang Ye said, then looked down at Zhao Mei'er, who was still kneeling motionlessly on the spot. "You go out too."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Mei'er finally reacted, raising her head and asking timidly, "Master, you really won't lock me up?"
"Leave with your master." Ouyang Ye gave no further reply, saying coldly.
Zhao Mei'er understood Ouyang Ye's intention from this and responded with a "Yes," then stood up.
At this moment, Mo Juan was still staring at Ouyang Ye. "Ye, I have something to tell you," she said, then shifted her gaze to Zhao Mei'er. "You go first."
"But..."
"If you dare to say 'but', I can have Ye lock you up," Zhao Mei'er said righteously.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Mei'er was frightened. "Master, I'll go first."
Ouyang Ye understood that no one could stop Mo Juan once she made up her mind. Thus, at Mo Juan's words, he waved Zhao Mei'er away, and she left.
Then, after Zhao Mei'er left, Mo Juan suddenly approached the door and looked at Mu Anxiao. "..." She remained silent deliberately.
Mu Anxiao was taken aback by Mo Juan's stare. "What are you looking at me for? Is there something on my face?" She touched her face.
Thus, Ouyang Ye was ignored by them.
As for the wolf demon and Jiong Ye, they dared not speak.
Mo Juan let out a cold laugh.
Seeing this, Mu Anxiao was confused. "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't be like this... it's annoying."
"Speak, why did you use magic?" Mo Juan shifted the topic back to the beginning.
Mu Anxiao was stunned by Mo Juan's question. "Why are you asking this? This matter..." she said, deliberately glancing at Ouyang Ye, who had locked her up, and continued, "seems to have nothing to do with you." After speaking, she fixed her gaze on Mo Juan.
"It has nothing to do with me, but..." Mo Juan suddenly became serious. "Your future has something to do with me."
"The current me has nothing to do with you, so naturally, the future me won't have anything to do with you," Mu Anxiao said, displeased with Mo Juan's attitude, and became equally serious. "I advise you not to be so narcissistic."
Mo Juan snorted coldly.
Mu Anxiao also snorted coldly. "What, am I wrong?"
"Do you think you are right?" Mo Juan asked Mu Anxiao deliberately.
Unmoved by Mo Juan's inexplicable attitude and words, Mu Anxiao said, "If I thought you were right, I wouldn't be saying anything." She glanced at Ouyang Ye. "The master hasn't spoken yet, but the subordinate is so eager. It really fits the saying... the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is."
"Say that again if you dare," Mo Juan said in a low growl.
Mu Anxiao's lips curved. Deliberately ignoring Ouyang Ye beside Mo Juan, she repeated, "The emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is." After speaking, she was about to cast magic.
The moment Mu Anxiao made this move, the wolf demon and Jiong Ye broke out in a cold sweat for her.
"What are you doing, trying to use magic again?" Mo Juan saw the meaning in Mu Anxiao's gesture and asked.
Ouyang Ye's brows furrowed tightly.
Mu Anxiao smiled. "You wouldn't know this. I, Mu Anxiao, not only know magic, but also sorcery. If you provoke me again," she said, her face hardening, "I will not let you off lightly."
Ouyang Ye liked this fierce side of Mu Anxiao, so he relaxed his brows and said, "Juan'er, you can go out." He stared at Mu Anxiao.
"Ye..."
"Alright, you can go out." Ouyang Ye no longer wanted to hear Mo Juan say anything else.
