Piao immediately reacted upon seeing this, glanced towards the ruins, and said, "Feng brother, you truly have a way with jokes."
"Say that again."
Feng Qishi detested being called Feng brother. To him, it was nothing but a veiled jab. Yet, Piao, knowing this, still addressed him as such.
This made him feel angry.
"You're the one who spoke of me first."
"Are you being unreasonable? You spoke of me first, saying I spoke of you first," Feng Qishi looked at Piao helplessly and said, "You are truly good at arguing illogically."
"I just don't like the look of you."
"On what grounds don't you like me?" Feng Qishi sneered.
Piao's playful demeanor vanished, and he turned serious. "Previously, what did I say to you? Do you recall?"
"..."
"I knew you wouldn't remember."
Feng Qishi was utterly bewildered. "Do you remember what I said to you?"
"...."
"I knew you wouldn't remember." Feng Qishi intended to retort.
Piao asked, "Do you find our conversation interesting?"
"I don't find it interesting. I feel we are quite bored, but," Feng Qishi narrowed his eyes, "I have figured it out."
"Figured out what?"
"You are deliberately retaliating against me."
"...." Piao pursed his lips and smiled, "How did you know I was retaliating?"
"Now, you definitely don't believe I spoke with Mu Shazi. You even less believe that Mu Shazi told you to leave. You think I deliberately prevented you from showing off, right?"
"You've finally spoken the truth."
"...." Feng Qishi took a deep breath and said, "I would not joke about Mu Shazi's life. If she dies, I lose my partner. In other words, if she dies, you'll be out of luck too."
Hearing Feng Qishi's earnest words, a shadow fell upon Piao's eyes. He said, "You are speaking the truth."
"Yes, you can call me whatever you want regarding Mu Shazi, but not a dog."
"Why?"
"Because I don't want to be like a dog-headed demon."
"How is being her dog related to a dog-headed demon?"
"I am human, why should I be a dog? Besides, I don't think you'd be happy if I called you a dog either."
"...." Piao was speechless for a moment, then retorted, "Feng Qishi, don't you think we are very boring?"
"I do. So, let's wait. I believe Mu Shazi will definitely come out." Feng Qishi said, looking towards the ruins.
Piao also fell silent.
Behind them, Gu Xiao and A Xia exchanged glances. The old man said, "These two are truly boring."
Chen commented, "They are just wasting time."
"I agree," Gu Xiao and A Xia said in unison.
Then, they both sighed.
Below.
A Long slowly opened her eyes and said, "I can truly atone for my mistakes."
"You can," Mu An Xiao was already prepared to bring her back, because Mu An Xiao knew she would agree.
A Long said, "Pull me up." She extended her hand.
Immediately, Mu An Xiao, without a word, grabbed A Long's arm and pulled her up. "We are trapped here."
"Then what do we do?"
"Do you still have strength?"
"Yes," A Long nodded.
"Then, you'll hold the old man in a moment," Mu An Xiao instructed.
A Long, using Mu An Xiao's words, turned to look at the old man and nodded, "I understand."
"Thank you."
"Why are you thanking me?" A Long asked, confused.
Mu An Xiao replied, "Because, although I occupy a position of dislike in your heart, you still cooperate with me, so I must thank you for your trust in me."
"...." A Long shifted her gaze awkwardly, saying, "Actually, thinking about it, you're not that bad. Let's begin."
"Mhm," Mu An Xiao knew A Long felt embarrassed. To avoid making her feel more uncomfortable, she deliberately spoke less.
Dagger said, "Mu An Xiao, I can't hold on much longer. Hurry up." She began to sway in mid-air.
Mu An Xiao said, "Hang on a bit longer." As she spoke, she looked at A Long again, "Where is the exit? Tell me the sorcery to control the wooden boards."
"You want to use sorcery?"
"There's no other way. If we don't, we can't get out." Mu An Xiao decided to take a gamble.
A Long said, "I can do it."
"No, you should conserve your remaining demonic energy and say your last words to him. I'll handle this."
"You..."
"Tell me quickly."
"...." A Long hesitated, then nodded, "Alright, I'll tell you."
Minutes later.
Mu An Xiao committed A Long's words to memory. Together with A Long, they brought the old man and stopped directly below the exit.
"This is it," Mu An Xiao said, looking up at the spot emitting a faint green light overhead.
A Long also looked up, nodded, "Yes, it's here."
"That's good," Mu An Xiao said, snapping her fingers. A blue flame shot out from between her fingers and flew towards the ice and snow peaks not far away.
Dagger asked, "What are you doing?"
Mu An Xiao looked up at Dagger, who was following them and illuminating their surroundings, and said, "Transform into human form."
"Huh?"
"Hurry, otherwise, if I let go, this old man will fall."
Hearing Mu An Xiao's words, Dagger immediately transformed into human form and stood before Mu An Xiao. "What do you want me to do?"
Mu An Xiao removed the old man's arm from her shoulder and said, "Come here. Support the old man's body on either side, one with her. When that opening appears above, you'll take them and fly up as light."
"What about you?"
"I have to hold it up for you."
"...." Dagger hesitated, then said, "Feng Qishi is outside. I'm afraid he'll blow me away with the wind."
"If you say one more nonsense word, I'll bury you here with magic, and you'll never get out."
Upon hearing this, Dagger quickly shut her mouth, stepped forward, and took over from Mu An Xiao, helping the old man with A Long.
Mu An Xiao glanced at A Long, walked to the spot under the green light, clasped her hands together, tilted her head up, and fixed her gaze on the green light. For a moment, her palms, pressed together, suddenly rotated, and then streaks of red light shot out from between her palms, flying upwards, piercing the green light, and drifting out.
Above.
Feng Qishi and Piao watched the red light slowly ascending from beneath the ruins with astonished expressions. They both swallowed, no longer saying a word of boredom.
Chen watched the red light with great surprise, her eyes widening. "That's... demonic energy."
A Xia shook her head. "No, that demonic energy isn't pure."
The old man said, "Indeed, it's not pure."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiao was surprised. "You know even this?"
As Gu Xiao spoke, the old man fell silent for a moment, then said profoundly, "I'll tell you the truth today. Over the past year, many monsters have appeared here. Those monsters would spar whenever they had nothing else to do, and I, as a lonely spirit, served as their referee. Naturally, I can discern these things."
