"I think you just don't want us to suffer there, so you're deliberately saying it's a place for imprisoning evil demons," Xu Lanyan said seriously.
"Little brother, I'm not lying to you," the dog-headed demon shook its head.
"Big brother, I know you care about us, but it doesn't feel right for us to live in your rooms like this. Unless," Xu Lanyan said, "you take us to see it. If it's really as you say, then I'll listen to you."
The dog-headed demon looked at Xu Lanyan's determined expression and said, "You kid, don't you trust me?"
"Yes, because you're too good to us," Xu Lanyan said earnestly.
Hearing Xu Lanyan's words, the dog-headed demon couldn't help but smile. "Alright, I'll take you, but let's eat first."
"Okay," Xu Lanyan agreed excitedly.
The black-clothed demon watched Xu Lanyan's attitude towards the dog-headed demon and couldn't help but admire him.
In the woodshed, Mu Anxiao lay on the dry grass and yawned, "It's really boring here." As she spoke, she rolled over and prostrated herself on the ground, gently patting the ground. "It should be from outside to the cellar, right?" she said, scratching behind her ear.
In the cellar, the female rat demon sat on the ground, her face filled with worry for Yan's safety.
"Are you worried about her?" asked the number one male rat demon.
The female rat demon was startled, raised her face, and gave a fake smile. "No, why would I worry about her?"
"You really want to acknowledge her, don't you?" the number one male rat demon suddenly said.
The female rat demon lowered her eyelids and said nothing.
"You deliberately told her we were coming here, didn't you?" the number two male rat demon asked again.
The female rat demon's eyes flickered. "Why are you suddenly talking about this?"
"We can tell you like this sister very much," said the number two female rat demon.
The female rat demon looked up at the number two female rat demon and forced a smile. "No, I don't like her, just like you."
"Rat language is the language of every rat family. You say you don't like her, but you've indeed communicated with her in this language," said the number two male rat demon.
The female rat demon was speechless.
"If you really hated her, you wouldn't be able to talk to her," said the number two female rat demon.
Hearing them speculate about her thoughts, the female rat demon couldn't help but clench her fists and say, "Have you said enough? If I don't talk to her, we'll really die here. What do you understand?"
The moment the female rat demon said this, they fell silent.
Seeing their stunned expressions and thinking about her own words, the female rat demon closed her eyes and said, "Alright, I admit I do like my sister. May I ask," she glanced at each of them, "don't you all like your own kin?"
They remained silent.
The female rat demon glanced at each of them and continued, "Never mind that. Everyone knows Yan has always been timid, but have you ever thought about how much courage it took for her to find us? Just now, her voice suddenly stopped. Instead of caring about her safety, you're asking me such boring questions. You are truly the best."
After hearing the female rat demon's words, they all felt guilty.
The number two female rat demon gathered her emotions and said, "We actually always wanted to talk to Yan, but seeing how you treated her, we naturally didn't dare to approach her."
"I don't know what other rats think, but that's how we think, because every time we come out, Yan helps us with some things," said the number one male rat demon.
"Aren't you afraid of her?" the female rat demon asked, looking at them.
"We're not afraid, but we don't know about the other rats in the rat tribe," said the number two rat demon.
At this moment, the female rat demon didn't know what to say, but she felt happy for Yan in her heart.
"We believe Yan will be fine," said the number two female rat demon, reaching out and patting the female rat demon's shoulder.
The female rat demon was greatly encouraged and grinned.
Above, Mu Anxiao was still worried about whether the rat demons would accept Yan. xxs1
"You're quite relaxed."
Upon hearing this, Mu Anxiao kicked out one leg and quickly sat up, looking at Piao who was walking towards her. "Are you here to kill me?"
Piao sneered. "I don't intend to kill you yet." He stopped in front of Mu Anxiao and squatted down. "You are neither immortal nor human. What kind of monster are you?"
"Me? You don't know?" Mu Anxiao thought she had become infamous. Now, being asked by Piao like this, she felt quite disappointed.
"I never bother to understand things I'm not interested in. Tell me," Piao narrowed his eyes, "what kind of monster are you?"
"Have you heard of 'immortally old'?" Mu Anxiao asked, feigning profoundness.
"That is, to be old and not die," Piao said blandly.
"I am that kind of person. Of course, I'm an exception. You don't need to be too concerned about my identity." Mu Anxiao didn't want to tell Piao about her experiences, so she said this.
"Why is the immortal energy on you so heavy?" Piao asked again.
Mu Anxiao shifted her gaze. Just as she was about to speak, Piao suddenly said, "You'd better be more firm in your gaze, otherwise I'll think you're lying to me."
"I..."
"I hate deception the most," Piao said.
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao sat up straight and met Piao's eyes with a firm gaze. "I knew you hated deception."
"What do you mean?" Piao frowned.
"To be honest, I think you're quite pathetic," Mu Anxiao said offhandedly.
"Pathetic?" Piao repeated, and then laughed. "You're quite interesting. Then tell me, why am I pathetic?"
"You're afraid of being deceived, which shows you've been fooled by quite a few people," Mu Anxiao said directly.
Piao's face darkened.
Mu Anxiao thought of Piao's words, her gaze unwavering, and continued to meet his eyes. "It seems I was right."
"Who exactly are you?" Piao said, and suddenly reached out to grip her neck.
Mu Anxiao suppressed her inner fear and deliberately widened her eyes. "Do you see the shadow of those who deceived you on me?"
"Not human," Piao said casually.
Mu Anxiao tilted her head back and said, "Then you're like me, a demon."
"You..." Piao's eyes turned red. He leaned in close, meeting Mu Anxiao's eyes. "You're quite bold to dare to pry into mine."
"I'm just saying what I see," Mu Anxiao's voice was very soft.
Piao frowned, loosened his grip, and said, "You see it? Fine, I'll gouge your eyes out right now."
"I see with my heart," Mu Anxiao said quickly.
"Heart?" Piao repeated, glancing down at Mu Anxiao's chest. "Then fine, I'll dig out your heart."
"You're so afraid of being seen through, how pathetic," Mu Anxiao provoked him.
"So what if I'm afraid of being seen through?" Piao said sternly.
