Feng Qishi had never seen Xu Lanyan so serious about anything, so he chuckled, "Alright, I won't argue with you. You may go." He waved his hand.
"Leaving now," Xu Lanyan said, turning around.
The maid Rabbit peeked at Xu Lanyan's retreating back and said, "That door is locked."
Xu Lanyan tilted his head, stepped forward, and passed directly through the door to leave.
The maid Rabbit's eyes widened.
Feng Qishi curled his lips, turned to look at the stunned rabbit spirits, and said, "Alright, have you made up your minds?"
"We'll go with you," the maid Rabbit said excitedly.
Feng Qishi stepped forward and stood before the maid Rabbit, saying, "Really."
"Yes," the maid Rabbit nodded.
"Very good," Feng Qishi said, extending his index finger and gently tapping the maid Rabbit's forehead. "Done," he said, lowering his finger.
"What did you do?" The maid Rabbit didn't react, gently touching her forehead.
"Just turned off some guy's surveillance system on you," Feng Qishi said, speaking in terms the maid Rabbit didn't understand. He then looked at the other rabbit spirits and asked, "Who else is willing?"
"What's the use of turning off that… surveillance or whatever?" the First Rabbit Spirit asked cautiously.
"Once it's off, no matter how far you go, that guy won't be able to detect you. That's what it means," Feng Qishi said casually.
"Can it really be done?" the First Rabbit Spirit asked with disbelief.
"Of course it can," Feng Qishi nodded.
"Then we want it too," the Second Rabbit Spirit said.
Feng Qishi smiled, accepting all comers, "Come over here. One by one, no need to rush."
A few minutes later…
Feng Qishi looked at his fingers, took a breath, and said, "My hands are numb."
The Fifth Rabbit Spirit rubbed his forehead and said, "This way, we can escape."
"Yes, this way you can escape with me down below," Feng Qishi said with a smile.
"Huh?" The Fifth Rabbit Spirit frowned and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"It means you won't be detected when you're by my side, but if you leave me, you'll be discovered in an instant," Feng Qishi said, shrugging.
"You mean you've just replaced the Great Demon's control over us with your own, so our lives are in your hands," the maid Rabbit guessed.
"That's pretty much it," Feng Qishi nodded.
"You're lying to us," the First Rabbit Spirit pointed at Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi frowned and said, "You can think whatever you want. Just remember this: I can prevent you from being completely annihilated, but the Great Demon will leave not even a speck of your soul. If you don't believe me, I can lift that spell for you right now." Feng Qishi raised his palm.
The maid Rabbit quickly lowered her gaze, thought for a moment, and said, "I believe you."
The rabbit spirits cautiously glanced at the maid Rabbit, then said in unison, "We believe you too."
"That's more like it," Feng Qishi nodded with satisfaction and said, "The Great Demon will be here soon. When he asks you what's going on, tell him it was the Dog-Head's doing."
"Why?" the maid Rabbit asked blankly.
Feng Qishi smiled, "Just say what I told you to say. No need to ask so many questions."
"Okay," the maid Rabbit agreed.
Then, Feng Qishi stretched lazily, walked to a corner, and sat down.
They also sat on the ground.
Before long, just as Feng Qishi had predicted, Piao, wearing a mask, kicked open the door in a hurry and said, "Who cast a spell on you?"
Upon hearing this, the rabbit spirits huddled together, trembling all over.
Feng Qishi opened his eyes and looked at Piao, saying, "Yo, you're wearing a mask now."
"Was it you?" Piao pointed at Feng Qishi and asked.
Feng Qishi leisurely stood up, walked around the rabbit spirits, and stood before Piao, saying, "It wasn't me."
"Then who was it?" Piao asked.
"I don't know. But," Feng Qishi pretended to ponder for a moment, "it seemed to be the Dog-Head Demon."
"Dog-Head Demon?" Piao's brows furrowed behind his mask.
"Yes, he came here, cast a spell outside, and then streams of light suddenly floated in through the door cracks and hit their foreheads. I saw it with my own eyes," Feng Qishi said with a calm expression.
Piao glanced at each of their faces, waved his arm towards them, and then streams of two-colored light struck their foreheads. Feng Qishi, standing calmly to the side, looked at them and asked, "Why didn't you cast it on my head?"
"It's best you don't get involved in this kind of thing," Piao said, and turned to leave.
Feng Qishi twisted his mouth, turned to look at the rabbit spirits who were uniformly covering their foreheads, and smiled.
"What are you laughing about? We're doomed," the maid Rabbit said, covering her forehead.
"Do you understand 'fighting poison with poison'?" Feng Qishi asked.
The maid Rabbit shook her head.
Seeing the maid Rabbit's not-so-wise reply, Feng Qishi curled his lips and said, "Don't worry, you won't be doomed!"
Then, the maid Rabbit, still stuck on the previous point, suddenly knelt up, pointed at Feng Qishi, and said, "Oh, you mean, the first layer wasn't removed, and then another layer came. When two identical spells collide, they scatter, so that means we…"
"Stop," Feng Qishi raised his hand, then waved it towards them, "Alright, you can rest assured now."
"Was what I said correct?" the maid Rabbit asked impatiently.
Feng Qishi looked at the maid Rabbit and smiled, "I didn't understand a word of what you said."
"Then what did you mean by 'fighting poison with poison'?" the maid Rabbit pouted.
"Just said it casually, don't take it seriously," Feng Qishi said flippantly.
"Then what was the spell the Great Demon cast on us just now?" the First Rabbit Spirit asked, looking at Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi said, "It's very simple. My spell is on you, so his is useless. As for his spell just now, it's completely ineffective. He probably won't discover anything. Besides, he still controls many rabbits, doesn't he!"
"Oh, so that's how it is," the Second Rabbit Spirit said, suddenly enlightened.
The maid Rabbit gently touched her face and said, "Then my beauty can't go with me anymore."
"Yes, after the punishment, you will have an even more beautiful face," Feng Qishi said.
"Really?" The maid Rabbit's eyes lit up.
"Yes," Feng Qishi nodded.
"By the way, why did you wave your hand just now?" the Third Rabbit Spirit remembered Feng Qishi's gesture and asked.
Feng Qishi chuckled lightly and said, "To reinforce the spell."
"Oh, so that's how it is," the Third Rabbit Spirit smiled.
The maid Rabbit began to look forward to her future appearance.
Feng Qishi glanced at each of them, thinking, *Dog-Head, let's see how arrogant you can be.* With that thought, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly as he sat down on the ground.
