Seeing this, the wolf demon smiled, "Someone must be scolding you."
"You two are scolding me," Mu Anxiao said, rubbing her nose and looking at Jiong Ye. "Do you think there are many gods?"
"I don't know," Jiong Ye shook his head.
"Does Zhao Mei'er know?" Mu Anxiao asked curiously.
Jiong Ye, using Mu Anxiao's words, thought for a moment and said, "She's Mo Juan's subordinate. Mo Juan is a demon who can't keep secrets. I think," he said excitedly, "Zhao Mei'er must know more than I do."
"You mean, you want me to ask Zhao Mei'er," Mu Anxiao said faintly.
Jiong Ye nodded.
Mu Anxiao sneered, "You say it so easily. My relationship with her is already bad, and she's now Mo Juan's subordinate. If I go to her and ask her this question, she'll definitely go to Mo Juan immediately. Then," she said, shaking her head, "we'll all be in trouble."
"You have a point. What should we do then?" Jiong Ye couldn't think of any other way.
Mu Anxiao, using Jiong Ye's words, paused for a few seconds, then turned to the wolf demon and asked, "Aren't you good at thinking of solutions? Tell me, what should I do next?"
"You're asking me?" the wolf demon retorted, pointing at himself.
Mu Anxiao nodded, "Yes, I'm asking you."
The wolf demon smiled.
"What are you laughing at?" Mu Anxiao really couldn't understand the wolf demon's meaning.
The wolf demon said, "I don't know anything about the situation here. If I really had that kind of ability, I would have prospered long ago. So," he gave a fake smile, "you'd better rely on yourself."
"That has nothing to do with whether you understand the situation here or not," Mu Anxiao said stubbornly, disliking being rejected by the wolf demon.
The wolf demon frowned, "How can it not? First, I don't understand anything here. Second, this place values connections. Even if I thought of a solution, I would be powerless. So, instead of wasting time on me, you'd be better off thinking of other ways."
"I agree with the wolf demon," Jiong Ye said, raising his hand.
Seeing this, Mu Anxiao sighed and said, "Fine, it's better to rely on oneself. I'll think of a way myself..." She glanced at them, "Alright?"
The wolf demon and Jiong Ye nodded in unison.
Mu Anxiao looked at their reactions and sighed again, muttering, "If only I had an informant here, then I could..."
"What informant? Mu Anxiao, what are you planning now?"
At the sound, Mu Anxiao's body stiffened. She, along with the wolf demon and Jiong Ye, turned to look at Rose, who had arrived at the prison door, and was stunned.
Seeing Mu Anxiao's reaction, Rose narrowed her eyes. "Mu Anxiao, I heard you used magic here. Don't you know this is the Demon Realm?" She had intended to be calm, but the moment she heard Mu Anxiao's words, she became angry.
Mu Anxiao didn't know what was wrong with Rose, but she knew that Rose had feelings for the wolf demon, so anything concerning the wolf demon was a blow to Rose. Therefore, she didn't argue, but just gave Rose a foolish smile and said, "I know this is the Demon Realm."
"Then why did you use magic?" Rose questioned her.
Mu Anxiao continued to smile foolishly. "When I encountered such danger, I couldn't care about that much. Besides," she said, glancing at the wolf demon, "the wolf demon had nothing to do with this originally. I don't know why, but he insisted on getting involved. I'm truly speechless about it." She couldn't stand Rose's protective attitude anymore, so she decided... she intentionally shifted the blame to the wolf demon.
As expected, this method worked. The moment Mu Anxiao finished speaking, Rose turned to the wolf demon. "Why did you do this?"
The wolf demon had intended to remain a bystander for a while longer, but unexpectedly... as he watched, he became involved in the drama. He swallowed, glanced at Mu Anxiao, and said, "She and I are brothers. Naturally, if she makes a mistake, I will accompany her."
"Don't you know your position?" Rose said angrily.
The wolf demon: "My position... I certainly know my position." He was instantly stunned by Rose's question.
Rose frowned, "Then tell me, what is your position?"
"I am her subordinate," the wolf demon said, looking at Mu Anxiao again.
Hearing this, Rose coldly snorted, "So you know your position is humble."
"My position is not humble," the wolf demon retorted.
Rose was furious, "Do you know the consequences for a subordinate who makes a mistake?"
Seeing this, the wolf demon was truly "stunned" by Rose's attitude. He swallowed again and said, "I haven't studied this, but I know that if I follow Mu Anxiao, my fate won't be too miserable."
Rose sneered.
The wolf demon was truly bewildered by Rose's sudden reaction. "What? Am I wrong?"
"This time, you were implicated because she used magic. What about next time? If she makes a mistake again, will you still accompany her?" Rose's eyes welled up with tears. "Wolf demon, can't you think of me? Can't you stop being so selfish?"
"I..."
"For you, I'm willing to humble myself and let the bees help me. Next," Rose said, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "I hope you can do something for me too."
"What do you mean?" the wolf demon asked, rolling his eyes, feeling awkward.
"What I mean..." Rose, completely caught up in her self-pity, said, "That competition is void."
"The competition... really?" The wolf demon was relieved and couldn't help but laugh.
Rose didn't notice the wolf demon's smile and continued her self-pity, "I just went to see the master."
"Master... is he going to let me go?" the wolf demon tested.
Mu Anxiao looked at Rose like this and had a bad premonition.
Then, Rose smiled. "The master has bestowed me upon you." As she said this, she leaned forward slightly. "You and I will soon be family. You will soon... have your own identity here. Aren't you happy?"
"Bestowed upon me... what does that mean?" The wolf demon's mind was completely confused.
Rose knew she had spoken too hastily, so she took a deep breath and slowed her tone. "The master has agreed to let you marry me."
"Marry you?" the wolf demon was shocked.
Rose looked at the wolf demon's reaction and frowned tightly, "Are you..."
"He's showing extreme joy," Mu Anxiao said. She knew Rose was doing this for the wolf demon's own good. If the wolf demon offended her right now, he wouldn't end up well. Therefore, to prevent the wolf demon from falling into danger, she had to do this.
Jiong Ye understood Mu Anxiao's meaning and intentionally supported her. "Yes, he's been saying you're... a good girl." He moved to the wolf demon's side.
