The adult watched Xiaozeng shake his head, intending to cover Xiaozeng’s mouth.
Outside.
Feng Qishi clearly heard the adult telling Xiaozeng to be quiet. He said, "I am not a demon soul. If you don't want to talk, then I'll leave."
Hearing Feng Qishi’s words, the adult who was covering Xiaozeng’s mouth was stunned. Then he lowered his head and whispered, "Do you know the person outside?"
Xiaozeng nodded.
Immediately, the adult let go.
Xiaozeng took a few breaths and shouted, "Brother, is that you?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Qishi’s eyes widened, and he asked, "You are Xiaozeng?"
"Yes."
"What's the situation inside?" Feng Qishi asked, seizing the opportunity.
Xiaozeng, using the beam of light from the window, turned his head to look at the person standing behind him and shouted, "Only half of the people are left." Feng Qishi: "Half?"
Xiaozeng: "Yes, those demon souls took away more than half of the people today. We don't know where they are going."
"As expected."
Feng Qishi had thought it was just Mu Anxiao's guess. Now, hearing Xiaozeng say it, he couldn't help but look at Mu Anxiao with new respect.
Chen: "What's going on?" she stepped forward.
Lin Yan looked around vigilantly and said, "Master, why are there no demon souls guarding here?"
"Yes, why are there no demon souls guarding here?" Feng Qishi repeated, turning to look at Lin Yan, "Do you usually see demon souls here?"
Lin Yan: "..." At that time, he was just a soul guarding the residence. Feng Qishi’s question, he clearly couldn't answer.
Seeing Lin Yan’s embarrassed expression, Feng Qishi sighed, "Alright, you don't know."
Lin Yan: "..." He touched the back of his head.
Chen: "If there are no demon souls, then this door is problematic," she pointed at the shop door.
Feng Qishi: "..." His brows furrowed. He quickly turned to look at the door and his eyes widened.
He was trapped.
Feng Qishi’s hand was pinned to the door by clusters of red light.
Following that, Chen quickly went to check and exclaimed, "Not good." She looked up at Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi: "They know how to use demonic magic from the demon realm."
"You figured it out?"
"Yes, if I move, this shop will explode, and they will die."
Chen: "Then what should we do?"
Feng Qishi thought for a moment and asked, "Can you unravel it?"
"..." Chen shook her head.
Feng Qishi sighed, "...."
Lin Yan listened to Chen and Feng Qishi and asked, "Then what do we do? Are we going to wait to die?"
"We can only wait for Piao," Feng Qishi said, turning his head to look at the street, "Strange, why is Piao taking so long to get here?"
"Yes," Chen said, her face tense.
Xiaozeng listened to the voices outside and fell silent.
The adults were also silent.
After Xiaozeng started talking, the children became boisterous.
Feng Qishi listened to the sounds from inside, his eyes darkened, and he stared at the red light.
On the other side.
Piao and Mu Anxiao had not run a few steps before they fell into a deep pit.
Mu Anxiao lay on the ground. Piao stood up and looked up at the light spot above, saying, "The second round."
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao struggled to support herself, looked up at Piao, and said impatiently, "How dare you speak."
Piao bent down, grabbed Mu Anxiao’s arm, and said, "I didn't expect it either, the second round is so close."
So close?
Piao still had the nerve to say that. If Mu Anxiao had not guessed wrongly, her second round was to bypass this deep pit. But now, she had been pulled down by that fool Piao.
At this moment, she was also angry.
"...."
Piao: "Why aren't you talking?"
Mu Anxiao shook off Piao's hand and said, "How do we get up?" She stood up.
Piao straightened up, looked up, and chuckled dryly, "It looks quite difficult."
"...." Mu Anxiao shifted her gaze to Piao's face and conjured a fire starter with her hand.
Seeing this, Piao asked, "What are you doing?"
"I can't see you clearly," Mu Anxiao said, conjuring a torch with her other hand.
The next second, the torch was lit, and their surroundings brightened.
Piao: "It's so hot."
Mu Anxiao: "It's hot, but it's better than not seeing you." As she spoke, she shone the torch towards the opening, "It's so high."
Piao: "I'll go up first."
"You first?" Mu Anxiao reached out and grabbed Piao’s arm, "What about me?"
"I'll go up and throw down a rope, then you go up. However, you have to put this out, otherwise, if the rope burns, you won't be able to go up."
Piao said this purely because he disliked fire.
Mu Anxiao didn't pay any attention to Piao and said, "If my master were here, he would definitely go up immediately."
Piao: "This is a demon pit."
"And then?" Mu Anxiao said calmly.
"Then," Piao averted his gaze, "then it's not easy to climb."
Mu Anxiao snorted.
Piao: "What do you mean by that?"
"What do I mean?" Mu Anxiao retorted, narrowing her eyes, "Speaking of which, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have fallen. You are a demon, and you didn't even feel the demon pit just now. Aren't you ashamed?"
Piao: "I didn't expect those demon souls to use our demon realm's demonic arts."
"You've said that before."
"...." Piao was embarrassed.
Mu Anxiao continued to hold the torch and sighed, saying, "But speaking of it, your method is quite effective."
Hearing this, Piao regained his confidence, "Isn't it? But," he smiled, "If I pull you up, you will be my disciple, how about it?"
How about it?
Mu Anxiao knew that Piao wanted to use this opportunity to make her his disciple.
That's why she deliberately mentioned Zhang Yan earlier.
Who knew that Piao was still not giving up? She felt speechless again.
"..."
Piao: "If you don't speak, I'll take it as your consent."
"Consent my foot! I have a master. By the way," Mu Anxiao said coldly, looking at Piao, "Where do you get the confidence to be my master? When I was down and out, you never even looked me in the eye. Now that I'm strong, you want me to be your disciple. I think you should be my disciple instead."
Piao: "...."
Mu Anxiao glared at Piao and looked up, "I don't need you." Then, she suddenly realized this was just a game.
Immediately, she looked around and then directly sent the fire towards a nearby vine.
Piao was startled, "Mu Anxiao, you're crazy."
Mu Anxiao: "...." She watched the vine catch fire, and a smile curled up on her lips.
Piao looked down at the sinister smile on Mu Anxiao’s lips and said, "I think you have great potential to become a demon."
"If it weren't for Gu An, you wouldn't say that."
"...."
Mu Anxiao stared at the slowly burning vine and said, "As I expected, you still shouldn't..."
"I just think you have that potential, and it has nothing to do with Gu An."
Mu Anxiao: "...." She turned to look at Piao.
Piao said sincerely, "I sincerely hope you become my disciple."
