Wan Sha saw Xiao Zeng's nervous expression and glanced at the Yin Cha standing with their backs to them. She said mentally, "You do it, I'll watch for you."
Hearing Wan Sha's words, Xiao Zeng seemed a little relieved. He said mentally, "Okay, I understand."
Wan Sha: "Let's begin."
Xiao Zeng took a deep breath again, then used his other hand to grab the silver rope. Just as he was about to untie it, his clothes transformed into women's attire, and his hair also grew longer.
Seeing this, Wan Sha was startled, "..."
Xiao Zeng quickly sensed something was wrong and was about to let go when the silver rope bound both his hands.
In an instant, he had truly transformed into a little girl.
After witnessing Xiao Zeng's entire transformation into a girl, Wan Sha turned her face away.
"Why did this happen?" Xiao Zeng looked at his sleeves in astonishment, then hearing his own girlish voice, he pouted, "..."
Wan Sha couldn't bear to watch and remained silent.
Meanwhile, the Yin Cha, hearing Xiao Zeng's voice from behind, stiffened and turned to look. "Huh, wasn't that a boy just now? Why is it a girl? Did I just... see wrongly?" He rubbed his eyes.
Xiao Zeng paid no attention to the Yin Cha's words and began to cry.
The Yin Cha didn't know how to comfort him, so he continued searching for the entrance.
Wan Sha listened to Xiao Zeng's crying and looked at the indifferent Yin Cha. She said, "Hey, let's think of a way."
Upon hearing this, the Yin Cha turned and looked at Wan Sha, who was staring directly at him. "What way? You're a woman, you can comfort him, that's all."
"I can't comfort him, only you can," Wan Sha pointed at the Yin Cha.
The Yin Cha: "Why only me? I'm not good with little girls. You're a woman, you must be."
"But..." Wan Sha glanced at Xiao Zeng, who had become a girl because of her, and said, "He's a boy."
"Do you think I'm blind? Boy or girl, I can tell," the Yin Cha said, not forgetting to glance at Xiao Zeng.
Wan Sha didn't know how to explain and only looked anxious.
The Yin Cha: "Don't bother me." With that, he turned back.
Wan Sha was speechless towards the Yin Cha.
Then, Xiao Zeng cried, "What should we do? Tell me." Since his hands were bound by the silver rope, he kicked Wan Sha with his foot.
Immediately, Wan Sha looked at Xiao Zeng with a helpless expression and said, "Actually, you look quite good like this."
"You..." Xiao Zeng's tears slid down the corners of his eyes. "It's all your fault, Wan Sha, that I became like this. Hurry up and help me."
"This is a spell, I'm a demon, I can't do anything."
"You can help me find Mother, but you can't undo the spell? I don't care, you have to help me, otherwise," Xiao Zeng said while crying, "I'll tell Mu An Xiao that you..."
Before Xiao Zeng could finish speaking, Wan Sha quickly leaned over and covered Xiao Zeng's mouth, "Don't say it." After speaking, she still took her hand away.
"Hurry up, or she'll be back."
After the Yin Cha's indifferent words earlier, Xiao Zeng knew that the Yin Cha wouldn't be interested in what they said, so he gave up.
However, Wan Sha thought differently from Xiao Zeng. So, the moment Xiao Zeng said that, she covered his mouth again, "Can you look at the situation?"
"..." Xiao Zeng blinked.
Wan Sha: "If you don't speak loudly, I'll let go."
"..." Xiao Zeng shook his head.
"You don't agree?" Wan Sha was surprised.
Xiao Zeng nodded.
"Why? Why are you so stubborn, child?"
Xiao Zeng's eyes widened.
Wan Sha guessed, "You mean, as long as I help you, you won't speak."
Xiao Zeng nodded slightly.
Wan Sha truly didn't understand this silver rope, especially the magic on it. She thought if she agreed to Xiao Zeng now and couldn't do it, wouldn't that be embarrassing?
However, considering the current situation, if she didn't agree, Xiao Zeng would definitely tell Mu An Xiao her plan, and Mu An Xiao would still laugh at her.
Thinking about it, she hesitated for a moment, then decided to give it a try!
"Okay, I promise you, then don't speak anymore."
Xiao Zeng nodded.
Wan Sha breathed a sigh of relief and took her hand away.
Xiao Zeng tilted his chin up, indicating to start.
Wan Sha let out a dry laugh and then began to cast the spell.
A few minutes later.
Wan Sha looked at the silver rope binding Xiao Zeng's hands, covered in sweat, and sighed, "Ugh, it's too difficult." Saying that, she lowered her hand that was casting the spell.
Just then, Mu An Xiao returned.
"Oh my, Xiao Zeng has turned into a girl."
Hearing this, Wan Sha breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, forget it, let her be ridiculed. It's not the first time she's embarrassed herself in front of Mu An Xiao.
Xiao Zeng: "..." He glanced at the helpless Wan Sha, then looked at Mu An Xiao, who was walking towards them, and said, "You're a liar."
Mu An Xiao: "How did I lie to you? Weren't you chatting with her? How did you become a girl?"
Inside the ruined temple.
Xie Xin heard Mu An Xiao's voice from outside, felt curious, quickly stood up, walked around the chair, ran to the door a few steps, looked at Xiao Zeng by the well, and laughed.
Hearing this, Xiao Zeng directly glared at Xie Xin, "What are you laughing at?"
"I don't like little sisters," Xie Xin said, stepping over the threshold and walking over.
Hearing Xie Xin's mocking tone, Xiao Zeng pouted and cried, "It's all your fault, Wan Sha."
Mu An Xiao: "You two really colluded, didn't you?" She said, walking in front of Wan Sha and Xiao Zeng.
Xie Xin dared not approach and stopped in the middle of the courtyard.
Xiao Zeng: "She said she'd help me find Mother, but who knew," he pointed at Mu An Xiao, "you're a liar."
Mu An Xiao: "You tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice, and you blame me."
"I didn't steal..."
"Didn't you want to secretly release her?" Mu An Xiao interrupted.
Obviously, Mu An Xiao had been in this business for quite some time. Many special demon souls like Wan Sha liked to use mortals to help themselves.
Therefore, when Xiao Zeng said he wanted to change positions earlier, she had already seen the trick. Before going to the latrine, she deliberately cast a spell on the silver rope to test if her guess was correct.
As expected, she was right!
Xiao Zeng felt guilty: "..." He averted his gaze.
"Does she know what your mother looks like?"
Hearing this, Xiao Zeng looked up at Mu An Xiao, then turned to Wan Sha: "Do you know what my mother looks like?"
Wan Sha's eyes flickered, "I... I should know."
"Should?" Xiao Zeng was surprised.
Wan Sha: "You are your mother's child, you must look like your mother. I just need to look for you, that's enough."
In fact, Wan Sha's words were just pretty talk. As for Xiao Zeng's mother, she had no intention of helping him find her!
Mu An Xiao: "You even deceive children, you're really something."
