"I was just unhappy with his attitude towards me, so I said it casually," the wolf demon said, then struck Jiongye on the head twice. He continued, "Also, don't ask what you shouldn't, and even if you do, I won't be able to answer you." xxs1
"What you're saying makes sense," Jiongye said foolishly.
The wolf demon smiled, "You, don't overthink it. Just consider it as our master giving us a break to rest here." After speaking, he removed his arm and turned towards the straw mat.
Jiongye felt that what the wolf demon said made sense, nodded, and followed.
Outside.
After searching for a while, Mu Anxiao found a place she deemed safe to stop. However, the only downside to this place was... too many couples. Clearing her throat, she surveyed the secluded area filled with rockeries and bushes. She plugged her ears with her fingers, thinking, 'Stillness of mind brings peace.' She looked to her sides, took two steps back, and quickly turned to hide behind a small rockery. But, as she was about to pull out the terrain map from her sleeve, a scream came from behind her. She immediately turned around to see a young girl.
Seeing Mu Anxiao turn around, the girl stopped screaming and asked, "What are you doing?"
Mu Anxiao, seeing that the girl's face was not pale with fright, blinked and said, "Nothing."
"If it's nothing, why did you come in here? Don't you know..." the girl said, no longer seeming fragile. She grabbed Mu Anxiao by her collar, "That this is where my brother and I have our rendezvous?"
"Brother?" Mu Anxiao repeated, forcefully pulling away the girl's hand from her collar, and said, "If I had known, I wouldn't have come in."
"Ignorance is no offense, please leave." The girl sternly 'escorted' her out.
First come, first served... Mu Anxiao knew that she was indeed in the wrong here, so she had nothing to say and turned around, leaving.
A while later, after wandering around this place full of 'affectionate' vibes, Mu Anxiao realized... she really didn't belong here. Helplessly, she had to find another place. Unexpectedly, she was unlucky. As she walked, she encountered Ouyang Ye and Mo Juan walking towards the area with the rockeries. 'Ugh, am I this unlucky?' she thought, looking around helplessly, and finally... before they got closer, she hid behind a rockery that was still somewhat capable of hiding someone.
What Mu Anxiao didn't expect was that Ouyang Ye and Mo Juan would stop right in front of the rockery where she was hiding.
"Why did you bring me here?" Ouyang Ye asked, glancing inadvertently at the couple not far away, and added, "This is Rendezvous Mountain."
Mo Juan smiled, "Ye, you've been in the Demon Realm for so long, you haven't been here yet, have you?" She said, taking Ouyang Ye's arm, "Let me tell you, the scenery here is beautiful."
"Juan'er, stop fooling around," Ouyang Ye whispered.
Listening, Mu Anxiao couldn't help but make a face, thinking, stop fooling around... it's so disgusting.
Mo Juan still smiled, "Ye, I'm helping you, can't you see that?"
"What are you helping me with?" Ouyang Ye couldn't understand Mo Juan.
Mo Juan looked helpless, "You're getting married to Mu Anxiao soon, and regarding some emotional matters," she said, pursing her lips and smiling, "I think you still don't understand much."
"As long as two people are together, it's emotion, you say..."
"What a dummy," Mo Juan whispered, laughing twice, "This place is for men and women who have developed feelings for each other. Their main purpose for coming here is to cultivate demonhood through dual cultivation. In the future, you'll have to bring Mu Anxiao here too. If you don't even know the terrain, wouldn't you make a fool of yourself when you come?"
"Why should I bring her here?" Ouyang Ye had never heard of such a rule in the Demon Realm, and asked.
Mo Juan clicked her tongue, "You don't even know this, it's a shame you're the master of our Demon Realm. It seems you still don't understand matters between men and women."
"Coming in here doesn't necessarily mean I'll understand," Ouyang Ye interrupted, pushing away Mo Juan's arm from his. "Let's go back."
"Ye, just let me take you in for a walk," Mo Juan pouted.
Seeing this, Ouyang Ye looked helplessly left and right, and finally compromised, "Then let's go."
"Let's go," Mo Juan smiled, pulling Ouyang Ye towards the inside.
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, muttering, "This Mo Juan doesn't look like she has good intentions at all. Ouyang Ye... he's really quite naive." With that, she skirted around the rockery, intending to get away from the place of trouble, and ran off.
This side.
As soon as Ouyang Ye followed Mo Juan into Rendezvous Mountain, the couples there one by one came out and began to explain matters between men and women to Ouyang Ye.
A quarter of an hour later.
After a long search, Mu Anxiao finally found a suitable place... that place was the Forbidden Forest.
"Hmm, the most dangerous place is the safest place. Here..." she stopped at the entrance of the Forbidden Forest, looking around, "No one should come here." As she spoke, just as she was about to take out the terrain map from her sleeve, the sound of a bee's cough came.
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao rolled her eyes, withdrew her hand, and turned to look at the bee, "Master." She forced herself to lift the corner of her mouth, which shouldn't have been upturned.
Immediately, the bee trotted to Mu Anxiao in surprise, saying, "I knew that figure looked familiar. It's really you after all." Saying that, he threw the sunflower seed shells he was holding on the ground.
Mu Anxiao gave a dry laugh, "It's me. By the way," she asked with feigned curiosity, "How is your terrain map coming along?"
"You don't need to worry about that. Speaking of which," the bee frowned, "How did you escape?"
"I..."
"Wait," the bee interrupted himself as if directing a play, thought for a moment, and then said, "It was the Elder, right?"
"This..."
"Since you managed to get out of the study so safely, it shows you must have talked a lot with the Elder. Tell me," the bee said, suddenly becoming very serious, "Did you say anything to the Elder about me?" After speaking, he pouted his mouth as if his emotions had come on suddenly.
Seeing this, Mu Anxiao immediately showed a look of disdain and contempt, "Well, I haven't finished speaking yet. Can you stop interrupting me?" She deliberately put her hands behind her back.
The bee listened and sobbed, "Tell me, after you said whatever to the Elder, did the Elder let you go?"
"I..." Mu Anxiao paused, then continued, "To tell you the truth, I didn't even see the Elder. If I had, I wouldn't have been wandering around here aimlessly."
"You didn't see him, so how did you get out?" the bee asked in surprise.
Mu Anxiao sighed, "How else could I have gotten out? I climbed out the window. But speaking of which," her mouth twisted, "You're quite unreliable. Didn't you say you were coming to save me? Why are you sitting here eating sunflower seeds?" She then looked down at the sunflower seed shells thrown on the ground by the bee.
"I... these aren't the sunflower seeds I was eating," the bee lied with his eyes wide open.
Mu Anxiao snorted coldly.
Seeing this, the bee clicked his tongue and said, "Look, this is the trust you have in me, your master. I, your master, am also a suffering person. These sunflower seed shells were eaten by my masters. They had nowhere to throw them, so they threw them into my hands. Speaking of which," he looked around, and continued, "Do you know where this place is?"
