"What are you doing?" the red-clothed rabbit spirit asked, looking at the back of Mu Anxiao's head.
Upon hearing this, Mu Anxiao hastily shifted her gaze away from Feng Qishi and shook her head at the red-clothed rabbit spirit.
The red-clothed rabbit spirit asked no further questions and said, "Then I'll go in first."
Mu Anxiao nodded silently.
Next, the red-clothed rabbit spirit entered the room first. Seeing her return, Piao asked, "Where is Mu Anxiao?"
"Behind," the red-clothed rabbit spirit said in a low voice.
"Behind." Piao said, standing up.
At the same time, Mu Anxiao and Feng Qishi entered the room together. Seeing this, Piao did not get angry. Instead, he calmly said, "Why are you together?"
Mu Anxiao looked at the gentle Piao, who wasn't angry, with surprise and said, "I let him out."
"Why?" Piao asked gently.
Mu Anxiao blinked and said, "I think he's useful."
"How is he useful?" Piao countered.
Mu Anxiao said, "He's just useful." She deliberately glanced at the red-clothed rabbit spirit.
Immediately, Piao turned sideways to look at the red-clothed rabbit spirit and said, "You can go out first."
"Yes." The red-clothed rabbit spirit obediently agreed, stepped forward, brushed past them, and left the room.
Feng Qishi, who didn't understand the situation, turned around a second after the red-clothed rabbit spirit left the room, consciously closed the door, and then turned back.
Piao glanced at Feng Qishi and said, "Quite self-aware."
"Yes, I'm never short on situational awareness," Feng Qishi said without modesty.
Piao smiled faintly.
Mu Anxiao said, "He can help you deal with the rabbit spirits."
Hearing Mu Anxiao's words, Feng Qishi thought of the rabbit spirits in the woodshed who had been influenced by him, but showed no surprise.
"He can kill them?" Piao asked.
Mu Anxiao said, "No, but he can take them to a place where they will continue to suffer, but before that, you need to remove the sorcery controlling them, otherwise, it's troublesome."
"I want them to be utterly destroyed," Piao said excitedly.
Mu Anxiao's lips curled, "The pain of souls scattering or being utterly destroyed is fleeting, but the suffering he gives them is long-lasting. What do you think?"
"He's going to send them to hell, isn't he?" Piao instantly guessed.
Feng Qishi glanced at Mu Anxiao without making any comment.
Mu Anxiao smiled, "That's the idea. If you don't agree, then forget it. It'll just be a waste of your time."
"That's why you let him out," Piao said.
"Yes, if you don't believe me, I'll send him back," Mu Anxiao smiled.
Piao glanced at Feng Qishi, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Alright, I'll listen to you."
"No take-backs," Mu Anxiao pointed at Piao.
Piao nodded, "No take-backs. I'll be responsible for gathering them, but you'll have to trouble yourself with the Rabbit Queen."
"What should I do?" Mu Anxiao was surprised that Piao would hand over the most troublesome one to her.
"You're quite eloquent, aren't you? Move her with your words, but be careful of the vine spirit," Piao said.
"You know the vine spirit is dangerous, yet you want me to go?" Mu Anxiao pointed at herself.
"Occasionally training you will save me trouble in the future," Piao said frankly.
Mu Anxiao was speechless.
Feng Qishi said, "I won't help. What if after I help you succeed, you turn around and kill me?"
Hearing this, Piao looked at Feng Qishi and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"Just now, I didn't want to come out, but she forcibly took me out. She even said she would let me go on the way. Who knew she'd bring me here? A liar," Feng Qishi said unhappily.
"What's going on?" Piao asked, looking at Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao didn't expect Feng Qishi to add unnecessary drama. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Oh, I just climbed through the window to find him, and then forced him to climb out the window with me. I did say I was going to let him go."
"Then why is he still here?" Piao asked.
Mu Anxiao didn't expect Piao to be such a slow-witted person, so she sighed helplessly and said, "I saw you were short-handed, and on the way to the wine cellar, I thought of this guy's abilities. So, I had a sudden inspiration and went to find him. But just as I was about to use my qinggong to fly up, I suddenly thought that this guy would definitely not agree with my idea. There was no other way, so I thought of tricking him into leaving."
"You're considering me," Piao said.
Mu Anxiao nodded.
Piao smiled, "Thank you."
"What are we to each other? It's all for the best," Mu Anxiao smiled unnaturally.
Feng Qishi looked at the back of Mu Anxiao's head and frowned, saying, "I..."
"If you don't help, your little life will be over," Mu Anxiao interrupted.
Piao smiled at Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi saw they were threatening him and reluctantly compromised, "Okay, let's do it. Just tell me what you want me to do."
Piao smiled at Feng Qishi's compliant demeanor and said, "I've thought of it."
"What have you thought of?" Feng Qishi asked.
Mu Anxiao glanced at Feng Qishi.
Piao, without showing any displeasure, said, "On the day of my wedding with Mu Anxiao, I'll arrange the best seat for you at the feast."
Feng Qishi was not happy about this news, but to avoid Piao's suspicion, he smiled and said, "That would be wonderful."
"So be it," Piao pointed at Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi smiled.
Mu Anxiao was speechless.
Yan looked at Mu Anxiao's face and asked, "Where are the rat spirits?"
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao's heart sank, and she said, "Oh, they're still locked up in the woodshed. Do you want to go?"
"I'll go later," Yan said.
"That's fine too," Mu Anxiao nodded and looked at Piao, asking, "When should I go see the Rabbit Queen?"
"Now," Piao uttered firmly.
Mu Anxiao was stunned and asked, "Go now? What should I say?"
"Say whatever comes to mind. We'll go gather the rabbits now," Piao arranged, "You're responsible for stalling for time, and by the way, for brainwashing that guy."
Mu Anxiao was worried that Yan would go to the woodshed the moment she left, so she requested, "Can I bring Yan with me?"
"Why do you need Yan?" Piao asked.
Mu Anxiao said, "Yan is my maid. Bringing her with me will give me more confidence. What do you think?"
Piao hesitated for a moment, then agreed, "Alright, but remember," he pointed at Mu Anxiao, "You must succeed, not fail."
"Yes, I will," Mu Anxiao said firmly.
Piao smiled slightly.
Mu Anxiao smiled faintly and looked at Yan, saying, "As for the rat spirits, you can't go alone. I'll accompany you. If they bully you, I can help you. What do you say?"
Yan nodded, "Yes, I'll listen to you."
"Good." Mu Anxiao smiled.
Outside the house, the red-clothed rabbit spirit looked at the closed door and thought, Why didn't they let me stay inside? Is it because I'm a rabbit? Thinking this, she lowered her head in disappointment.
