Instantly, Mu Anxiao hurried to her feet, took two steps back, and rubbed the hand Shen Xian had held against her body. "Shen the Madman, what's going on?"
"Who knows."
Just as Feng Qishi finished speaking, Shen Xian suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed Feng Qishi's arm, and then yanked him forcefully towards himself.
In the next moment, Mu Anxiao watched, dumbfounded, as Feng Qishi was tightly embraced by Shen Xian. She swallowed hard. "Now you know his strength!"
Hearing Mu Anxiao's words, Feng Qishi retorted, "Mu the Fool, you'd best keep quiet!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Xian instantly sobered up. He then shoved Feng Qishi away, exclaiming, "What curse did you put on me?"
A curse?
Mu Anxiao recalled that Shen Yan used to favor curse techniques quite a bit, but ever since he reincarnated as Feng Qishi, he had used them very rarely.
However, thinking about it, Shen Xian's behavior just now was indeed strange.
So, she shifted her gaze to Feng Qishi, who was slowly standing up, and asked, "Did you put a curse on him?"
Feng Qishi, enduring the pain of his injuries, turned to Mu Anxiao. "Who put a curse on him? For that matter, it was only after you went up that he suddenly became like this."
Shen Xian's headache had not subsided, so he continued to clutch his head, paying no mind to their conversation.
Mu Anxiao replied, "Big brother, only someone with extremely high spiritual energy can cast a curse. How could I possibly have that ability?"
Though she said this, she couldn't help but find it strange herself.
She thought that, as Feng Qishi had said, Shen Xian had indeed suddenly fainted only after she had approached him. She didn't deny this, but she also didn't want to admit it.
"...." Mu Anxiao intentionally averted her gaze.
Gu Xiao opened his eyes and looked at the silver ropes binding him with astonishment. "Untie me," he shouted.
Hearing this, Feng Qishi glanced over at Gu Xiao. "What did you do?"
Mu Anxiao didn't even look in that direction. "He was being controlled. If I didn't do this, what if I got hurt!"
"Controlled by whom?"
"Who else but your senior brother!" Mu Anxiao pointed at Shen Xian, who was still holding his head.
Immediately, Feng Qishi said, "He's not my senior brother."
"I think he is."
"...." Feng Qishi continued, "Even if he is, I'm not." Saying this, he walked around Mu Anxiao and headed towards Gu Xiao.
At this moment, Mu Anxiao knew clearly that Feng Qishi had already believed her. However, he didn't want to face reality, nor did he want to speak ill of his master.
Therefore, he was avoiding it.
Thinking this, she sighed and said, "Neither of us cursed you." As she spoke, she walked in front of Shen Xian.
Shen Xian looked up and glared at Mu Anxiao. "What's your name?"
"Don't you already know my name?"
"No," Shen Xian rasped out the word.
Mu Anxiao's lips curled. "My name is Mu Anxiao. What's yours?"
"Shen Xian," Shen Xian replied honestly. After silently repeating Mu Anxiao's name in his mind, he said, "No."
"No what?"
"Get lost."
Seeing Shen Xian's almost demonic demeanor, Mu Anxiao instinctively took a few steps back.
Then, Shen Xian stood up unsteadily and looked at Feng Qishi, who had turned and was glaring at him. "You really are that old man's dog."
Feng Qishi glared at Shen Xian and called out, "Mu the Fool, come here."
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao very cooperatively turned around and walked gracefully to Feng Qishi's side.
Shen Xian clutched his chest, taking several deep breaths.
Feng Qishi said, "I won. You can let them go and give me the transit token!"
"You want the transit token now?" Mu Anxiao asked from behind Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi did not respond to Mu Anxiao, his eyes still fixed on Shen Xian.
Shen Xian replied, "Whether it's a loss or a win isn't for you to decide." With that, he waved his hand. The beautiful scenery suddenly vanished, the surroundings became pitch-dark, and a large cave instantly appeared before them.
Seeing this, Mu Anxiao was startled.
Feng Qishi declared, "I won't let you marry Chen."
"Who do you think you are?" Shen Xian glared at Feng Qishi, then glanced at Gu Xiao, who was struggling on the ground at Mu Anxiao's feet. "This demon soul is truly weak." He pointed towards Gu Xiao.
Then, Gu Xiao closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was back to normal. "Ah? Save me, save me."
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao's lips curled. She spread her hand and recalled the silver ropes binding Gu Xiao. "Get up."
"You scared me to death," Gu Xiao whimpered.
Mu Anxiao glanced at Gu Xiao, then instinctively supported Feng Qishi's arm and asked, "Shall we go in now?"
"Of course. However, junior brother, it looks like you need some rest."
Feng Qishi: "..."
Seeing that Feng Qishi ignored him, Shen Xian's lips curved. "Take good care of him, or I'll kill you." After saying this, he turned and walked into the cave.
Mu Anxiao swallowed hard. "What exactly does he want? One moment he wants to kill you, the next he wants to snatch everything you love. Is he sick?"
Feng Qishi collapsed after Shen Xian walked away.
Then, Mu Anxiao fell onto the ground along with Feng Qishi.
Gu Xiao asked, "Did I hit him?"
Gu Xiao remembered nothing of what had just happened. However, judging from the fact that Mu Anxiao had bound him with silver ropes,
He guessed that he must have done something wrong.
"If you had that kind of ability, that devil wouldn't have abandoned you," Mu Anxiao said, sitting up and placing her hand on Feng Qishi's forehead.
Gu Xiao thought for a moment. "..." He squatted down beside Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao glanced at Gu Xiao and asked, "Do you know where this place is?"
"The Demon Realm."
Mu Anxiao said helplessly, "I know this is the Demon Realm."
"I don't know anything else."
"You followed that vine spirit for ten years, and you don't know these things? How did you even follow him?"
"I just followed him. Besides, with my abilities, I shouldn't have been able to come here. This is my first time here, to be honest," Gu Xiao shivered. "It's much colder here than hell."
Cold, heat?
Thinking about it, Mu Anxiao turned her head to look at Gu Xiao's transparent soul form and sneered, "You're a soul, and you can feel temperature? Who are you trying to fool?"
Gu Xiao, as if his lie had been exposed, turned his face away.
"..."
Mu Anxiao sneered, pulled Feng Qishi up, and said, "Get up and help me support him. I need to heal him."
Hearing this, Gu Xiao stood up very perceptively, walked in front of Feng Qishi, and knelt on the ground without hesitation, supporting Feng Qishi's shoulders. "You can begin."
Mu Anxiao replied, "Okay!" She crawled behind Feng Qishi, sat down cross-legged, and began to circulate her energy.
