Xiao Zeng paid no mind to Xie Xin's mood and looked up at Feng Qishi, saying, "I am Xiao Zeng."
However, the moment Feng Qishi heard Xiao Zeng announce his name, he exclaimed, "Are you joking, sister?"
Xiao Zeng replied, "I'm not joking, big brother. I really am Xiao Zeng. It's just that because of my own circumstances, I've become a girl." After saying this, he lowered his head.
Then, Feng Qishi lowered his gaze and immediately shifted his attention to Mu Anxiao, "Mu the Fool, did you do this?"
"I did," Mu Anxiao admitted, looking up at Feng Qishi. "What about it?"
"Nothing much. I just think what you did wasn't right."
"I'm not telling you what's happening inside. Think whatever you want," Mu Anxiao said, glaring at Feng Qishi and deliberately directing her gaze at Wan Sha.
Seeing Mu Anxiao look at her, Wan Sha showed an embarrassed expression. "Why are you looking at me?"
"Nothing. I just suddenly felt that you're really good-looking."
Wan Sha: "...." Her eyes flickered as she said, "You don't need to tell me. I already know I'm good-looking."
The very next second after Wan Sha said this, Mu Anxiao casually blurted out two words: "Narcissist."
"You say I'm good-looking, and now you..."
"Shut up," Mu Anxiao interrupted, no longer paying attention to Feng Qishi, who was still staring at her.
Feng Qishi said, "Mu the Fool, just ignore me."
"You were the one who said you wouldn't talk to me for three days, and now you're talking to me nonstop. May I ask," Mu Anxiao turned her head to look at Feng Qishi, "doesn't your face hurt?"
Feng Qishi was momentarily speechless and said, "Since that's the case, then I won't consider your feelings." With that, he walked in front of Xiao Zeng.
Xie Xin voluntarily moved aside.
Mu Anxiao calmly watched Feng Qishi's retreating back and said, "You definitely won't be able to break that spell."
"Don't underestimate me," Feng Qishi said, beginning to cast a spell on Xiao Zeng.
Mu Anxiao: "...." She let out a light chuckle.
A few minutes later.
Feng Qishi looked at Xiao Zeng, who was still a girl, with a look of frustration and said, "Mu the Fool, what exactly did you do to him?" He turned his head to look at Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao replied, "As you can see, he's become a girl."
"Why did you do this?"
"You didn't ask earlier, and now you're asking. Isn't it a bit late?" Mu Anxiao said without turning her head.
Feng Qishi asked, "A boy being turned into a girl, can you... understand that feeling?"
"No."
"If I turned you into a boy, would you be willing?"
"No."
"Then turn Xiao Zeng back."
"Shen the Madman, you've really become arrogant after becoming someone's master," Mu Anxiao said, using her good hand for support, she stood up. "You're confronting me without even understanding the situation. It's enough." She turned around and met Feng Qishi's eyes.
Feng Qishi lowered his head, meeting Mu Anxiao's eyes simultaneously, and said, "Quickly turn Xiao Zeng..."
"Don't talk about that first. Let Xiao Zeng explain the reason, and remember to apologize to me."
"..." Feng Qishi furrowed his brow and turned to look at Xiao Zeng, "Xiao Zeng, what's wrong?"
Xiao Zeng was guilty and couldn't help but avert his gaze, saying, "That demon soul said it could take me to find my mother. Because of this, I took the opportunity to try and release her, and then I... became like this."
"You, because of your mother?"
"Yes. I wanted to wait for my mother, but Mu Anxiao said I wouldn't be able to wait."
Hearing Xiao Zeng's wronged words, Feng Qishi's eyes darkened, and he turned to look at Mu Anxiao, "Mu the Fool, what do you mean?"
"What do I mean?"
"I mean, why didn't you let him wait for his mother?"
"...." Mu Anxiao turned her face slightly. "Here you go again, not distinguishing right from wrong."
"I..."
"He was abandoned by his mother. Now Xie Xin wants to take him in as a brother. Between the two, who do you think he should choose?"
"..." Feng Qishi's thoughts were in disarray, and he immediately turned to look at Xiao Zeng again, "What's the situation?"
Xiao Zeng turned his head towards Xie Xin, "...."
Xie Xin glanced at Xiao Zeng and said, "I said, after things are settled, I want to take Xiao Zeng back to be my brother."
"That is your own decision."
Xie Xin replied, "Yes, but I've given him a chance to consider. If he doesn't agree, I won't force him."
"Is that so?" Feng Qishi nodded, then shifted his gaze back to Xiao Zeng, "What do you think?"
"I don't know."
Mu Anxiao said, "Who you choose is your business. I hope you remember my words; it won't do you any harm."
Xiao Zeng replied, "I will consider it."
Xie Xin added, "Agree to it. It won't do you any harm to agree."
Xiao Zeng looked at Xie Xin and remained silent.
Then, Feng Qishi turned back to Mu Anxiao, "What exactly did you cast on him?"
"It's not a spell, it's a kind of curse."
"What is a curse?"
"It's similar to a curse, but it's easier to break than a curse."
"Who did you learn it from?"
"That's none of your business," Mu Anxiao glared at Feng Qishi, then turned back to Wan Sha, "Stay put. Be careful, or I'll curse you too and turn you into a man."
"You wouldn't dare."
"Oh, just you watch and see if I dare."
Wan Sha: "...." She dared not continue.
At this moment, Feng Qishi was rendered speechless by Mu Anxiao's actions.
Outside the city.
Piao, along with Gu Xiao, A Xia, and Chen, stood at the corner of the city wall, their expressions filled with confusion.
Chen asked, "Why can't we find it?" She glanced at the nearby graves.
"I don't know. We've searched everywhere with sorcery, and still haven't found it. Could it be," Gu Xiao said, "that Mu Anxiao was mistaken?"
Piao remarked, "It seems that person is not human."
"Not human?" A Xia looked at Piao.
Piao nodded, "Yes, not human. If they were human, they wouldn't have such abilities."
Chen inquired, "Then what do you think they are?"
"A monster."
"A monster?" Gu Xiao repeated, frowning. "If they are monsters, can't they sense it?"
A Xia added, "Exactly."
Piao confessed, "I'm not too clear about the situation there."
Chen concluded, "Then we can only go back and tell Mu Anxiao."
"Yes, that's the only way," Piao nodded and glanced at the old man not far away, his brow furrowing. "Look, what is that old man doing?"
Hearing this, Chen followed Piao's gaze and looked at the old man, saying, "He's probably visiting a grave."
"These graves don't have owners, do they?" A Xia asked her question.
"Perhaps... they just don't have tombstones, but some do have owners," Piao said, turning to A Xia. "I think that's likely the case!"
A Xia's eyes darkened, "I don't even have that."
Piao glanced at A Xia and said, "Once things are settled, I'll make a cenotaph for you and erect a tombstone. How about that!"
