Shen Xian asked, "Are you going to wash it for me?"
Mu Anxiao crouched by the basin and retorted, "Can you wash it yourself?" She rolled up her sleeves. "Come on, these are all medicinal herbs, beneficial for your wound recovery."
For a long time, Shen Xian saw Gu An's shadow in Mu Anxiao countless times, making his desire for Gu An's resurrection grow stronger and stronger.
So, he said, "Mu Anxiao, your name also has the character 'An' in it."
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao looked up and met Shen Xian's eyes, asking, "Why are you suddenly saying this?"
"It's nothing, I just suddenly noticed."
"Oh."
"Do you want to have memories of your past life?"
Mu Anxiao took her hands out of the foot-washing basin and looked up at Shen Xian again, "I don't."
Shen Xian's eyes deepened. "Why?"
"What's there to ask why? I just don't want to. The matters of this life are troublesome enough. To recall the previous life..." Mu Anxiao let out a dry laugh. "I don't envy Feng Qishi at all."
However, Mu Anxiao thought Shen Xian knew Feng Qishi had memories of his past life, thus thinking she envied Feng Qishi, and that's why she said it.
Shen Xian tried not to appear disappointed. "If Feng Qishi knew I asked you to help me capture those monsters to understand the truth, what would Feng Qishi do?"
"..." Mu Anxiao stared at Shen Xian for a few seconds and asked, "Why are you suddenly asking this?"
Ever since the Vine Demon reported to him that Feng Qishi had asked Piao to monitor him, he had become concerned.
Now, he just wanted to use this to elicit words from Mu Anxiao and make his next decision.
"It's no particular topic, I just thought of this one. If you don't want to," he smiled, "then don't."
After Shen Xian said this, Mu Anxiao's suspicion subsided. "If he knew, he would definitely insist on coming with me."
"He..."
"He's just that kind of busybody, wanting to go everywhere. Whenever I have something, he's the first to show up. When he was young, he was particularly clingy to me."
"Particularly clingy?"
"Mm, our relationship back then was very good."
"Because of Gu An, your brotherhood broke."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xian's expression turned cold. "You can't say that."
Seeing Shen Xian's expression change, Mu Anxiao quickly stopped the words that were about to leave her lips, lowered her head, and continued washing his feet.
Shen Xian: "..."
In the kitchen, Feng Qishi stood with his back to the stove and looked at Gu Xiao and the others as they entered the kitchen. He asked, "Why are you all here? Didn't Shen Xian arrange lodging for you?"
Gu Xiao didn't know where to start. He glanced at Axia.
Axia also glanced at Gu Xiao at the same time and asked, "What do we do next? We can't stay here forever."
Chen glanced at Axia and then looked at Feng Qishi, "Exactly. Think of a way."
"What way can we think of?" Feng Qishi glanced towards the door. "The situation is as it is. We can only stay here properly."
Axia: "Stay properly? We can't stand being here at all. It's all demonic energy. To be honest, I'd rather go down."
"Why didn't you say that earlier?" Feng Qishi retorted.
Axia: "..."
Chen pursed his lips. "It's all my fault."
Hearing this, Feng Qishi looked at Chen, who was about to cry again. "Can you stop crying? Crying won't help us leave. Besides, if we leave, what will happen to Mu the fool?"
"Shen Xian won't do anything to her," Gu Xiao said.
"..." Feng Qishi shifted his gaze to Gu Xiao. "What do you mean by that?"
Gu Xiao sealed his lips. "..."
Feng Qishi glared fiercely at Gu Xiao and then looked at Piao. "Do you have anything to say?"
Piao: "I have nothing to say. I just came here with them to eat."
"You haven't eaten yet?"
Following this, Axia and Gu Xiao exchanged glances. Gu Xiao said, "She and I don't need to eat."
"I wasn't asking you two," Feng Qishi glanced at them.
"..." They were speechless.
Chen: "I am a bit hungry."
"Then I'll start the fire for you."
Piao smiled. "Thank you for your trouble."
Next, Xiang Nang walked into the kitchen, glanced at Piao, and said, "Feng Qishi, you really think this is your own territory."
Feng Qishi: "As long as you can cook, I'll hand over the territory to you."
Xiang Nang: "..."
In the courtyard, the Vine Demon fell from the sky and then transformed into human form.
In Shen Xian's room, Mu Anxiao stood up and wiped her hands casually on herself. Just as she was about to bend over, she suddenly felt the demonic energy of the Vine Demon.
Immediately, she straightened up quickly, closed her eyes, and sensed it. She found that the demonic energy was gone again.
"Strange?"
Shen Xian looked up at Mu Anxiao's nervous expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Mu Anxiao shook her head, bent over, and picked up the foot-washing basin. "Your feet are washed, your face is washed, now you can rest, right!"
Since the afternoon, Mu Anxiao had been endlessly serving Shen Xian. Originally, her task for the day was completed, but then Shen Xian wanted his feet washed again.
At that time, she was afraid he would be unhappy, so she agreed.
Now that this matter was done, she wanted to see what other requests Shen Xian had.
Shen Xian: "I'm not resting."
"Then what else do you want to do?"
"Put the basin down first," Shen Xian pointed to the wooden basin Mu Anxiao was holding.
Mu Anxiao was startled. "What do you want?"
"Put it down."
"..." Mu Anxiao sighed, bent over, and put down the wooden basin.
Following this, Shen Xian pointed to his bed. "Come over, sit here."
"I won't sit on your bed," Mu Anxiao stepped back.
"I haven't seen Gu An's face for decades. Let me look at your face more. Maybe I can dream of her tonight."
"..."
At this moment, Mu Anxiao suddenly felt a bit scared.
Shen Xian: "Then if you don't want to sit, it's fine. Just bend down a little. I'll just look for a moment, just a moment."
"..." Mu Anxiao looked awkward and stepped forward unwillingly, bending down.
Shen Xian smiled. "Now, Gu An in my dreams finally has a face."
Mu Anxiao: "What kind of logic is that?"
Shen Xian: "..." He just smiled.
Kitchen.
While Piao and the others were chatting enthusiastically, the Vine Demon boldly walked into the kitchen and then looked at Feng Qishi, who was standing in front of the stove, greeting him warmly, "Hello, Feng Qishi!"
Hearing this, Feng Qishi looked at the stranger who greeted him and asked, "Who are you?"
Seeing Feng Qishi's confused expression, the Vine Demon felt satisfied. "I'm your good brother!"
"Good brother? I don't know you," Feng Qishi stated decisively.
