Thus, Shen Yan once again experienced the memory of having a master. However, after that, he returned.
The underworld official squatted beside Mu Anxiao, tilting his head to look at the unchanged surroundings and muttering, "That's strange, why isn't she waking up if she's not dead?" He then nudged Mu Anxiao's arm.
Mu Anxiao's fingers twitched, and as she struggled to open her eyes, her head throbbed violently.
Seeing Mu Anxiao awake, the underworld official expressed his disappointment, "Still not dead after all this time." He then stood up.
Mu Anxiao sat up, covering her head with one hand, squeezing her eyes shut, and said, "Ouch, I feel like I'm going to vomit." With a haggard look, she glared at the underworld official and said angrily, "You damned underworld official, you really laid hands on me."
The underworld official was bewildered, "What are you talking about? I never..."
"I helped you, and you still want to kill me. You're too cruel," Mu Anxiao said, holding her slightly aching head as she looked at Shen Yan, who had suddenly appeared, "You're back."
"Mhm," Shen Yan nodded.
The man in white landed beside them, looking at Shen Yan with a smile and saying, "Thank you."
Shen Yan forced a smile.
Mu Anxiao blinked, looking at the man in white and Shen Yan, and asked, "What did you guys go through?"
The man in white looked at Mu Anxiao, "You should be thanked too. If you hadn't given the underworld official's chain to Shen Yan, my soul would have been eaten by that vine spirit."
"My chain?" Mu Anxiao was startled, and felt her sleeve, then said angrily, "Shen Yan, I don't believe you did that on purpose. If you didn't want to take me, you shouldn't have. What was the point of flying halfway and then pushing me out of the clouds? You made me, and I wrongly accused," she glanced at the underworld official, "this guy. It was so awkward."
"You remember," Shen Yan was surprised.
"What do you mean, you don't want to admit it, or what?" Mu Anxiao pointed at Shen Yan.
Hearing Mu Anxiao's words, Shen Yan thought of what the old man had said, shook his head, and replied, "It means nothing, just a casual remark."
"Pay me more," Mu Anxiao said sternly, pointing at Shen Yan.
"Understood," Shen Yan nodded.
Seeing that Shen Yan wasn't refusing or resorting to harsh words to mock her, Mu Anxiao felt an inexplicable sense of loss.
"You're back."
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao calmed her feelings of loss and turned to look at Ye Yin, who was covered in wounds, saying, "You really went all out."
Ye Yin smiled and looked at the man in white standing by the wall, "You've recovered."
"Yes," the man in white nodded and floated in front of Ye Yin, "You didn't kill me."
"Weren't you scared to death?" Ye Yin was surprised.
The man in white was no longer as volatile as before. He said, "No, I was killed by the vine spirit. He tried to brainwash me, making me resent my parents."
"Is that so? As long as it has nothing to do with me, I'm relieved," Ye Yin's heart finally settled.
"Next, it's time for me to leave," the man in white said with a faint smile.
"Go to hell for re-education," the underworld official said indifferently.
Immediately, Mu Anxiao anxiously asked, "What's your name?"
"What do you think my name is?" the man in white deliberately teased Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao narrowed her eyes and said, "You're dressed in white, and your appearance is so... effeminate. I'd venture to guess your surname is Bai."
"You say I'm effeminate?" The man in white's expression changed as it had before, and he pointed at himself.
