When she heard this, Mu Anxiao retracted her water skin and turned to look at Lü Hua, saying patiently, "What's the use of me hating them? Living a lifetime with hatred is too troublesome."
Lü Hua: "..."
Seeing Lü Hua's silence, Mu Anxiao thought for a moment and asked, "Are you, like me, lost and no one is looking for you?"
"She's luckier than you," Feng Qishi knew Lü Hua wouldn't say, so she answered for her.
Following this, Mu Anxiao's gaze fell directly on Feng Qishi's face. "Was I asking you?"
"I'm answering for her."
"Don't speak," Mu Anxiao said coldly, looking at the women who were starting to glare at Lü Hua again, and said impatiently, "What are you all staring at? Sit down and rest, we still have to travel later."
Woman Number Five shouted at Lü Hua, "I'm going to kill you."
Lü Hua shivered, "..."
Mu Anxiao glanced at Lü Hua and stepped up to Woman Number Five, asking, "You want to kill her?"
Woman Number Five turned and glared at Mu Anxiao, saying, "Yes, I want to kill her."
"Alright, I'll grant your wish," Mu Anxiao said, untying the silver rope for Woman Number Five.
Woman Number Five looked down at her unbound hands, then looked up at Mu Anxiao and asked, "Aren't you afraid I'll run away?"
"Run," Mu Anxiao sneered and directly summoned her soul sword. "Try running."
"I won't..."
"I know you're not afraid of me, but," Mu Anxiao said, "I also know you can't leave your sisters. If you dare to run, I'll kill all your sisters. Anyway, any demon soul that disappears under the silver rope is considered disobedient. If it disappears, it disappears."
"You..."
"Go ahead, kill her, and then get a few more decades of sin. Anyway, I know... you don't care about these things at all."
"You should tie me up again." Woman Number Five gave up.
Mu Anxiao hooked the corner of her mouth and tied her hands again.
Seeing Mu Anxiao's skillful methods, Feng Qishi glanced at Lü Hua again and asked, "Hey, Mu the Fool, how will she leave later?"
"She'll go with the blue light."
"Then... how?" Feng Qishi was surprised.
Mu Anxiao: "I have a way." As she spoke, she walked over to Feng Qishi. "I'm hungry."
"Hungry again?"
"It's not easy for me to catch them, and I just absorbed demonic energy, so I naturally feel hungry."
"No noodles."
"Wild fruit will do," Mu Anxiao held out her hand.
"As long as you're not picky," Feng Qishi said, taking out wild fruits from his embrace and placing them in Mu Anxiao's palm. "Go eat."
Mu Anxiao: "..." She turned and walked to the blue light, looking at Lü Hua and asking, "Are you hungry?"
Lü Hua shook her head.
"Oh, you're a demon soul, I forgot," Mu Anxiao said, sitting down on the spot and starting to eat the wild fruits.
Feng Qishi asked, "You're just going to let me drag them like this?"
"Drag them inside and don't let go," Mu Anxiao said without looking back.
Feng Qishi looked at Mu Anxiao's leisurely resting back, then at the women filled with resentment, glaring fiercely at him, and said, "Even if you glare at me, I won't let you go." As he spoke, he dragged the silver rope and walked inside.
Lü Hua sat down, watching Mu Anxiao cautiously, and asked, "When you were lost and couldn't find your way home, did you feel particularly desperate?"
"Desperate," Mu Anxiao popped a wild fruit into her mouth, saying as she ate, "Desperate... I forgot."
"Forgot?"
"Some things are not necessary to remember, and remembering them is meaningless."
"You have a point."
"Do you know what the greatest comfort in this world can give you?"
"What?"
"Besides family, it's money. But," Mu Anxiao said, "this is also my thought. Thinking about it, it's quite painful not to have family."
From the time she got lost as a child, Mu Anxiao had never been happy.
At that time, when she saw other people's children with their families, she would envy them, even be jealous.
Over time, she saw through many things.
Gradually, she became the carefree person in others' eyes, a greedy little girl who only loved money.
It wasn't until she met Shen Yan that she thought she had a reliance, but she didn't expect Shen Yan to be a cultivator who didn't know how to cherish women.
Even so, she owed him so much because of it.
Thinking about it, she was also going crazy!
Now, she didn't want to rely on anyone, she just wanted to become an immortal that others could rely on, and that would be enough.
Lü Hua: "I had similar thoughts at first."
"Similar thoughts?"
"Mmm," Lü Hua nodded, her eyes sinking. "When I was cultivating demonic arts, I was driven away by relatives and disliked by all sorts of people. Demonic arts comforted me, so I made them my sole focus. Later... I used those demonic arts to kill my family."
"How did you feel after doing that?"
However, Feng Qishi's expression was completely different from Mu Anxiao's after hearing this, which surprised Lü Hua. "Why aren't you surprised that I killed my family?"
"Why should I be surprised?"
"I'm so ruthless..."
"Basically, demon souls that can be locked onto by Yin Messengers have committed grave mistakes. Like you, if you hadn't gone too far, they wouldn't have chased you so closely."
Lü Hua: "..." She lowered her head.
Woman Number Five said, "We weren't chased, which proves we didn't go too far. Therefore, you have no right to capture us. Let us go."
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao's face stiffened. She turned sideways to look at Woman Number Five, who had said this so righteously, and snorted coldly, "You really have the nerve to say that."
"Why shouldn't I have the nerve to say it? At the very least, we didn't kill our relatives. But she did, so ruthlessly."
"Ruthless?" Mu Anxiao repeated the word a few times in her mouth, then slowly stood up and turned to them coldly, saying, "You don't deserve to say this word."
"I..."
"I can say that you," Mu Anxiao pointed at Lü Hua, "are much more excessive than her. You have killed not just one family, but countless families. If it weren't for you, those poor women wouldn't have committed suicide, and my red threads wouldn't be tangled. It's all your fault that I bear the infamy. You deserve to die."
Woman Number Four pointed at Mu Anxiao and asked, "Who do you think you are?"
"I'm the Yin Messenger who caught you, who do you think I am?" Mu Anxiao said indignantly. She immediately walked up to them, picked up her soul sword, and said, "Now, I give you one quarter of an hour to confess all your crimes, otherwise, I will make your souls scatter."
Beside her, Feng Qishi, holding the silver rope, looked at Mu Anxiao, who had suddenly started to get angry, with surprise and asked, "Mu the Fool, are you alright?"
"Shut up," Mu Anxiao glanced at Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi: "..." He looked awkward and quietly shifted his gaze away.
