"No."
"No," Mu Anxiao forgot her previous words, deliberately pointing to the remaining residue in the bowl, "Then you are the only one here, so naturally this is what you made."
Seeing Mu Anxiao's pretense of ignorance, and recalling her attitude towards him earlier, the wolf demon narrowed his eyes: "Mu Anxiao, are you crazy? What I did just now, you didn't. Now you ask me to pay, and you say it's what I did. What do you mean?"
"What you put down is considered what you made."
"And then?"
"And then," Mu Anxiao glanced at him, "Friendship comes first, so I won't give you this money. Consider it a gift from you to me upon meeting."
The wolf demon smiled.
Mu Anxiao also smiled, "What is it?"
"You think too highly of yourself. Pay up quickly," the wolf demon spread his hands.
"You..."
"Of course," the wolf demon smiled, "If you don't want to pay, you can do me a favor."
"Help you?"
Mu Anxiao was surprised. Did the wolf demon need her help sometimes?
"Yes, my lair was destroyed by the subordinates of a vine spirit. I need to find that guy now."
"Who?"
"I don't know, but I followed him here, and then he disappeared."
"Him?" Mu Anxiao spat out a word and chuckled dryly, "Who is your 'him'?"
"I don't know."
"Is it a demon soul?"
"Should be..." the wolf demon thought uncertainly, "It should be."
Mu Anxiao: "....."
Wolf demon: "...." He stared at Mu Anxiao's face.
Before coming here, the wolf demon had always lived in the deep mountains, because in his opinion, the deep mountains were where he should be, as they made him feel more like a wild wolf and allowed him to cultivate his demonic arts well.
However, not long ago, a man suddenly entered his territory and told him that he was his kind. Thus, out of kindness, he took in his own kind.
Who would have thought that not long after, that same kind would steal something very important from him?
He couldn't tell Mu Anxiao this, but that person had destroyed his territory.
Now, seeing Mu Anxiao's silence, his heart sank, and he finally spoke: "Why aren't you talking anymore?"
"Your words are not at all reliable."
"How are they unreliable? The vine spirit's subordinates destroyed my home, and I came to find him. Is that wrong?"
Although Mu Anxiao had expected the wolf demon's sudden appearance to bring no good, she hadn't expected him to be deceived by the vine spirit's subordinates. To her, this was quite a peculiar occurrence.
However, hearing his somewhat perfunctory words now, she found him unreliable.
"...."
Seeing Mu Anxiao's unexpectedly serious expression, the wolf demon said, "I'm talking to you. You should at least answer me. Can you stop being like this? It's really hurtful."
"Are you human?"
"I... Of course, I am human."
"You are a wolf."
Wolf demon: "Just tell me, will you help me or not? This beating around the bush is meaningless."
"You can't even clarify whether the person who destroyed your home is a demon or a demon soul. How can you expect me to help you?"
"I..." the wolf demon thought for a moment and continued, "It's a demon soul."
"Demon soul?" Mu Anxiao thought for a moment, "Thinking."
"Only demon souls are around the wolf demon. You..."
"Doghead," Mu Anxiao reminded him.
Hearing this, the wolf demon asked, "What is Doghead?"
"Did you forget?"
"I..." the wolf demon frowned slightly, "Who is it?"
"You shouldn't not know. Weren't you there back then, with the rabbit spirit?"
"I..." the wolf demon chuckled dryly, "I forgot. I only remember that the vine spirit is a bastard, and that you and Feng Qishi were my... friends."
"You mean enemies, right?"
The wolf demon chuckled dryly, "...."
"You are now a wolf in sheep's clothing."
"If I wear sheepskin, I am always a sheep."
"You still admit it," Mu Anxiao twitched her mouth.
The wolf demon smiled faintly, "How can you be sure that was a demon and not a demon soul?"
"Can a demon soul destroy your home?"
"Demon souls..." the wolf demon thought, "Oh, they can't move physical objects, but demons can."
"Then it makes sense," Mu Anxiao frowned, "You're quite something. You couldn't even tell that he was a scammer."
"He and I are of the same kind."
"Because he was of the same kind as you, you believed him."
"Mm."
"Wolf demon, when did you become so naive?"
"....." The wolf demon didn't want to admit he had become naive, because he still liked his ambitious self. It was just that this matter infuriated him to the point where he wouldn't have come to find Mu Anxiao otherwise.
Mu Anxiao: "By the way, how did you know I was here?"
"I saw you. It was a coincidence."
"...." Mu Anxiao snorted coldly, "Quite a coincidence."
Wolf demon: "Do you know where that Doghead is?"
"How would I know."
"You're staying here, and you wouldn't know?"
"Brother, I have other tasks. Besides, I haven't seen Doghead in a long time. Asking me, don't you think you're being ridiculous?"
"...." The wolf demon's mouth twitched, "You think I'm ridiculous?"
"Don't you think so?"
"I..."
"Also, you mistake a dog for your own kind. Your eyesight is really terrible."
"I also didn't expect..." the wolf demon's gaze flickered slightly, "that he would be a dog."
"Your sense of smell has weakened."
"...."
As Mu Anxiao said, since possessing Hu Yuan's body, the wolf demon's various wolf-like characteristics had weakened. Before, he loved meat, but now, for some reason, he had developed a liking for vegetables. Sometimes, he found himself troubled by this.
"...." Mu Anxiao saw the wolf demon's silence and sighed, "Setting aside other things, perhaps I can help you."
Mu Anxiao thought that she might be able to tie the wolf demon's matter to Xu Lan's, as both tasks were related to the vine spirit.
"How do you plan to help?"
"Look for him, but I can't guarantee I can find him."
"As long as you help me, that's enough," the wolf demon was excited.
"...." Mu Anxiao smiled, "I will definitely help you, but... on the condition that you give me some benefits," she extended her hand.
"I won't charge you for these two bowls of wontons."
"These two bowls of wontons are only a few pieces of silver. Let me tell you, don't think you can fob me off with those few pieces of silver."
"I..."
"No, I know you're a poor monster, so just give me five taels of silver."
"That much."
"Five taels is a lot."
"I don't have it," the wolf demon shook his head.
Immediately, seeing the wolf demon's resolute expression, Mu Anxiao hooked her lips and said, "I have a way."
"What are you going to do?" The wolf demon had a premonition of something bad.
Mu Anxiao: "I'll ask that woman who likes you. That way, I can even help you two get together." She said it to scare him.
"Mu Anxiao, are you crazy?" The wolf demon grabbed Mu Anxiao's arm, afraid she would suddenly get up.
