"You were the first one not to believe her," said the maid rabbit directly.
Seeing the resentful looks directed at her, the number one rabbit spirit said, "I admit I said it, but what do you people mean by this?"
"It's all your fault that she's not looking out for us anymore, so you have the obligation to apologize."
"Me?" The number one rabbit spirit pointed at herself, saying with embarrassment, "The words are already out, how can I..."
"For our lives," the maid rabbit stated firmly.
Upon hearing this, the number one rabbit spirit's eyes lit up. "Alright, for our lives, I'll cast aside my dignity."
"I don't like the way you said that," Mu Anxiao remarked.
The number one rabbit spirit's heart clenched, and she said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you."
"I am not of the same kind as you, so it's natural for you to be suspicious of me. I can understand all of that, but," Mu Anxiao looked at the number one rabbit spirit with vacant eyes, "I also happen to hate being distrusted the most. So, it's useless for you to beg me, I've already accepted my fate."
"Do you really not want to live?" asked the maid rabbit.
Mu Anxiao sighed, "Live? Of course, I want to live, but this kind of trust from you makes me feel uneasy."
"Why?" asked the number two rabbit spirit.
"That person is willing to apologize to me only for their own benefit. Once things are settled, wouldn't you all cast me aside? It's not worth it," Mu Anxiao said, waving her hand.
"You think too much," the number three rabbit spirit mumbled.
Mu Anxiao glanced at the number three rabbit spirit and snorted, "I'm human, of course I think a lot. If I don't think enough, I won't even know how I died."
"You just want to die with clarity," the number one rabbit spirit casually said.
Hearing the barbed words from the number one rabbit spirit, their faces instantly turned cold, and one by one, they fixed their gaze on the number one rabbit spirit's face.
The number two rabbit spirit said, "How come I never noticed you were so stupid before?"
"Me?" The number one rabbit spirit was momentarily speechless, saying, "I was just speaking the truth. Was I wrong?"
"You..."
"Alright," Mu Anxiao was too lazy to waste more time with them, and stood up, saying, "Who is willing to lend a shoulder?"
"You're willing to help?" the maid rabbit exclaimed excitedly.
"I'm too lazy to exchange any more nonsense with you. Hurry up," Mu Anxiao said, glancing at each of them.
"Let's discuss it," the maid rabbit said with a smile.
"Discuss it, I'll wait," Mu Anxiao said, turning her back.
A few minutes later...
After deliberation, they pushed the number one rabbit spirit forward.
"I'll do it," the number one rabbit spirit stepped forward, saying feebly.
Upon hearing this, Mu Anxiao turned to look at the number one rabbit spirit, a smile curving her lips. "I'm quite heavy. If I fall, it's your responsibility."
"I can do it," the number one rabbit spirit stated with conviction.
"Fine, stand facing the wall," Mu Anxiao pointed to the wall below the window.
The number one rabbit spirit turned and looked over there, saying, "I'm taller than you. If I stand there, how will you get up?"
Mu Anxiao was speechless at the number one rabbit spirit's foolish question, but considering the gravity of the situation, she decided not to remain silent.
"Let me put it this way: you squat down, then I'll stand on your shoulders, and then you slowly stand up. Understand?" she said with a smile.
"Understood," the number one rabbit spirit replied earnestly.
"We will protect you," the maid rabbit raised her hand and said.
"That's right, everyone must be united. This is about our lives, after all," Mu Anxiao said with relief.
Hearing Mu Anxiao's words, they all nodded firmly.
The next moment, Mu Anxiao stood on the number one rabbit spirit's shoulders. "Alright, get up now." Her hands were pressed tightly against the wall.
"Okay," the number one rabbit spirit responded and slowly stood up.
"Wow, you're up!" the maid rabbit exclaimed excitedly.
As Mu Anxiao reached for the window, she said, "Don't get excited." Just then, the number one rabbit spirit steadied herself.
"Alright, try opening the window," the number three rabbit spirit reminded her.
"Mm," Mu Anxiao nodded, gently pushed the window, and said with a smile, "It can be pushed."
"That's great!" the number five rabbit spirit said happily.
The next second, Mu Anxiao pushed the window open and said, "I'm going." With that, she extended her upper body out.
"Is it high?" the maid rabbit asked.
Mu Anxiao looked at the lawn below and said, "Not high, just right." As she was about to attempt to jump down, Piao floated by.
"What are you doing?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Anxiao hurriedly stopped her actions and looked down, meeting Piao's eyes.
"I'm not doing anything," she responded dryly.
"Are you trying to escape?" Piao asked.
The number one rabbit spirit, supporting Mu Anxiao, asked, "Are you done yet?"
Mu Anxiao didn't hear the number one rabbit spirit's question. Instead, her feet on the number one rabbit spirit's shoulders shifted. The number one rabbit spirit, thinking Mu Anxiao had succeeded, squatted down without a second thought.
Immediately, the other rabbits watched in horror as Mu Anxiao dangled from the window, their mouths slightly agape.
The number one rabbit spirit, sitting on the ground, rubbed her shoulder, then followed the gaze of the other rabbits upwards. She quickly stood up. Just as she was about to catch her, a cold wind blew in from outside the window, and they all froze.
"It's a great demon," the number one rabbit spirit's eyes widened.
"She's been discovered," the maid rabbit said, looking up at Mu Anxiao's legs powerfully kicking against the wall.
"Yeah, it's over," the number two rabbit spirit nodded.
"Can you come down?" the number one rabbit spirit called out directly.
Above, Mu Anxiao continued to give Piao a forced smile, answering the question Piao had just asked, "I'm not trying to escape, I just came up for some fresh air."
"Fresh air?" Piao said, deliberately opening her arms. "Come down, I'll catch you. The air is better here."
Mu Anxiao looked at Piao's gentle side and smiled unnaturally, "No need."
"Come on, you wanted some fresh air, didn't you? I'll catch you, come down, come on." Piao was not angry and remained patient.
"No need, hehe." Mu Anxiao gave a dry laugh and moved her body back.
Seeing Mu Anxiao's hesitant movements, Piao said, "If you dare to go down, I'll kill you right now."
Upon hearing this, Mu Anxiao stopped moving. The already awkward smile froze on her face.
"For your life, you'd better hold on," Piao said, then turned and walked away.
Mu Anxiao watched Piao's retreating back, her eyes filled only with bitterness.
A few minutes later, Piao pushed open the firewood shed door and gracefully walked in. Ignoring the rabbits, she looked directly at Mu Anxiao's legs propping against the wall and said, "You can come down now."
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao tilted her face and replied, "Okay!" Then, with great difficulty, she pulled her upper body back, supported herself along the window frame, and slowly slid down the wall.
