Over there, Mu An Xiao turned her gaze towards them.
At the same time, Zhao Mei'er also looked this way and chuckled, casually remarking, "He's still so handsome." After speaking, she continued measuring Mu An Xiao.
Hearing this, Mu An Xiao immediately turned her head to look at Zhao Mei'er, suddenly recalling that she liked Feng Qi Shi. She then thought, she's truly persistent, remembering Shen Fengzi for so long... it's terrifying.
"Why are you looking at me?" Zhao Mei'er asked, tilting her head to look at Mu An Xiao.
Mu An Xiao cleared her throat. "You still like him, don't you?" she asked, meeting Zhao Mei'er's eyes.
Unexpectedly, the moment Mu An Xiao looked at her, Zhao Mei'er began to desperately avert her gaze. "No," she said, then cautiously glanced at Mo Juan's retreating figure before continuing, "I am but a minor demon. If I liked him, it would be a mistake. I won't make mistakes."
"You know, I know, what are you afraid of?" Mu An Xiao said deliberately.
Zhao Mei'er gave a bitter smile. "Sometimes, many things cannot go as one wishes," she said, retracting her soft ruler. "Please don't guess wildly about me. I've already decided to bury all my feelings for him in my heart."
"For self-preservation, you're capable of that," Mu An Xiao smiled faintly.
Zhao Mei'er's eyes darkened. "If a person doesn't look out for themselves, heaven and earth will destroy them."
"Indeed, for yourself, you watched the one you love die," Mu An Xiao said, crossing her arms. "You were truly ruthless."
"..." Zhao Mei'er flinched slightly.
Then, Mu An Xiao lowered her gaze and smiled, turning to look at Mo Juan, who was waiting for Feng Qi Shi's reply, and muttered, "Her arrival always spells trouble."
"You'd better not say that about her," Zhao Mei'er warned.
"You're afraid of her, but I'm not," Mu An Xiao said, turning back to Zhao Mei'er. "Am I right?"
Zhao Mei'er's eyes darkened.
Mu An Xiao chuckled.
At the same time, Feng Qi Shi happened to see Mu An Xiao's smile. He then considered Mo Juan's words and replied, "Yes."
"Really?" Mo Juan's eyes lit up.
Feng Qi Shi withdrew his gaze and looked at Mo Juan. "I came here to take her away. Naturally, I will consider your advice, but," he said, "if you dare to deceive me, I will not forgive you."
"Rest assured, I, Mo Juan, always keep my word. As long as their marriage can be stopped, I will do whatever you ask."
Feng Qi Shi smiled faintly. "I didn't expect your feelings for Ouyang Ye to be so deep."
"Ye will always be mine," Mo Juan stated firmly.
Feng Qi Shi sighed softly and said nothing.
One day later.
Ouyang Ye arrived at the prison as scheduled. He glanced at Mu An Xiao, who was sitting on the dry hay, and smiled faintly. "Mu An Xiao, come here."
Hearing this, Mu An Xiao looked at Ouyang Ye, who was calling her, with a dazed expression. Then she looked at Feng Qi Shi, who stood with his arms crossed by the bars, and at Jiong Ye and the wolf demon, who hastily stood up. She sighed and reluctantly stood up, saying, "What is it?" She walked over.
Jiong Ye and the wolf demon exchanged glances, not daring to speak.
"Come out," Ouyang Ye said, pointing at the lock. The lock opened.
Mu An Xiao looked and couldn't help but recall how Ouyang Ye had kissed 'Feng Qi Shi' earlier. She said, "It might not be appropriate to go out now." As she spoke, she stepped back two paces.
Ouyang Ye frowned. "What do you want now?" he asked, personally opening the cell door.
Mu An Xiao coughed twice and said, "I just want to think about it again, if I go out now..."
"If he tells you to go, then go. There's no need for this," Feng Qi Shi interrupted Mu An Xiao, stepping forward and looking at Ouyang Ye. "I've decided."
"Decided what?" Ouyang Ye looked at Feng Qi Shi, utterly confused.
Feng Qi Shi said with a serious expression, "I won't take her away. If it's possible..."
"It's easy to come here, but difficult to leave," Ouyang Ye interrupted.
Feng Qi Shi replied, "I know," and looking around, continued, "Honestly, your place is better than the mortal realm."
"What about the immortal realm?" Ouyang Ye asked.
"Better than the immortal realm too," Feng Qi Shi said calmly.
Ouyang Ye was pleased by Feng Qi Shi's words and couldn't help but smile. "Since that's the case, are you willing to stay?"
"If I stay, you probably won't feel at ease," Feng Qi Shi said, glancing at Mu An Xiao.
"Our demon realm's memory-erasing sorcery is the strongest in the three realms. Look, that Piao is an example," Ouyang Ye said, glancing at Mu An Xiao.
Hearing this, Mu An Xiao's heart suddenly felt uneasy.
Conversely, Feng Qi Shi smiled. "It's just erasing memories. As long as I can stay here, you can do whatever you want to me, but," he said, looking down at his hands and feet, "you have to leave these limbs for me."
"Don't worry, I have no interest in your hands and feet," Ouyang Ye said, then shifted his gaze back to Mu An Xiao's face. "With this, I can finally rest assured."
"Despicable," Mu An Xiao said coldly.
Feng Qi Shi glanced at Mu An Xiao and said, "Mu An Xiao, it would be wise for you to say fewer words like that in the future."
"None of your business, you coward," Mu An Xiao said, glaring fiercely at Feng Qi Shi. She stepped forward and said, "I want to stay here for a few more days, so hurry up and take that coward away. Looking at him irritates me."
"No problem," Ouyang Ye said, reaching out to brush away Mu An Xiao's hair. "But before that, you need to try on the engagement wedding attire." As he spoke, he turned sideways to look at the two maiden demons behind him.
Subsequently, the two maiden demons stepped forward with trays holding the clothes.
A quarter of an hour later.
Mu An Xiao stood behind a screen, looking helplessly at the complicated wedding attire on her. Then she looked at the two maiden demons who were arranging her clothes. She yawned and said, "Are we done yet?"
"Yes," they said in unison, turning around and casting spells together to make the screen disappear.
At the same time, Ouyang Ye smiled. "As expected, clothes make the man, or in this case, the woman. This wedding attire is simply tailor-made for you."
"Wasn't this attire made to measure?" Mu An Xiao said, letting out a breath. She pulled at the hem of her skirt and walked, not very gracefully, in front of Ouyang Ye. "I have a question for you."
"Ask away," Ouyang Ye said with a smile.
Mu An Xiao took a sharp breath. "You say this is the engagement wedding attire?"
"Yes, there are two sets in total," Ouyang Ye replied truthfully.
Mu An Xiao's expression was one of discomfort. "Two sets," she said, recalling the tedious process of the two maiden demons dressing her. She pouted. "So, the formal wedding attire is even more troublesome to wear than this?"
"Yes," Ouyang Ye nodded.
Mu An Xiao gave a dry laugh. "Ouyang Ye, you're quite something."
"Don't women all like such weddings? Why," Ouyang Ye said, reaching out to touch Mu An Xiao's face, but Mu An Xiao dodged him. Seeing this, he didn't get angry. "You don't like it?" He lowered his hand.
Feng Qi Shi watched Ouyang Ye, who had been rejected by Mu An Xiao, and felt a sigh of relief.
