"Do you know why my methods are so ruthless?" Pia asked.
Mu Anxiao gave a dry chuckle, "How would I know?"
"Because of you, I turned into a demon. Originally, I planned to give you a good impression when we met again, to hide what I was. But who knew, you saw through everything. It's fine, though," Pia reached out and took Mu Anxiao's arm, "I can protect you now."
"Protect me?" Mu Anxiao was startled.
"Yes, my greatest wish has always been for you to accept me, and then agree to let me introduce you to my friends." Pia smiled, "To be honest, they never believed me. Today, I can finally fulfill this wish."
"But I didn't accept you; you forced me," Mu Anxiao blurted out the truth without thinking.
Pia's expression stiffened, and he said coldly, "Whether I forced you or you truly agreed, my wish has been fulfilled."
Mu Anxiao looked at Pia's domineering side and thought about Feng Qi's safety. She smiled, "Yes, your wish has been fulfilled. Congratulations."
"Tomorrow is the wedding. What do you think?" Pia asked.
"What did you say?" Mu Anxiao's smile froze on her face.
"I said," Pia smiled, "I've set the date for tomorrow. What do you say?"
"Ah?" Mu Anxiao gave a dry laugh and said, "That's too soon. Besides, I'm a good-for-nothing now. Marrying such a powerful demon like you might lower your standards. How about you reconsider?"
"I just told Shen Yanhou Shi to attend our wedding. If it's not held tomorrow, that fellow will definitely mock me. Of course," Pia released Mu Anxiao's arm, "it depends on you. If you disagree and he mocks me tomorrow, then I'll take action. Don't blame me."
Hearing Pia's threat, Mu Anxiao said without hesitation, "I'll marry."
"Sincerely?" Pia said.
Mu Anxiao nodded firmly and said, "But, you're not allowed to kill rabbits anymore."
"That depends on my mood," Pia said, turning away. "Get ready. You need to do your makeup, but not too heavy. I'll come to pick you up in fifteen minutes."
"Okay," Mu Anxiao managed to utter the word.
The moment Pia left the room, Mu Anxiao hurried to the bronze mirror, bent down, and looked at her face, saying, "What's so good about me that a demon like him would fancy me? This is too ironic. It's barely been a day, I... I'm so unlucky, aren't I?" As she spoke, she still couldn't accept Pia's 360-degree transformation towards her.
"What's wrong?"
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao sighed, stood up, and turned to the Rabbit Queen who was walking towards her, "Nothing. Why are you here?"
"He asked me to supervise your dressing," the Rabbit Queen's attitude was completely different from before.
Mu Anxiao looked at the Rabbit Queen's changed demeanor and said, "Don't you find it ironic?"
"Ironic?" the Rabbit Queen asked, confused.
"Last night, I was still a prisoner captured by the Soul Spirit. Now, after just one night, I've inexplicably become someone Pia likes. Don't you find that ironic?" Mu Anxiao said, turning her face with a helpless smile.
"Do you know why he always comes here?" the Rabbit Queen asked.
Mu Anxiao turned back to look at the Rabbit Queen and sneered, "How would I know?"
"Because this is where you first met him. He used to come here often. One day, he saw us struggling with our cultivation, so he helped us," the Rabbit Queen explained briefly.
"I think he harmed you," Mu Anxiao said casually.
"He helped us," the Rabbit Queen insisted.
Mu Anxiao looked at the Rabbit Queen's determined expression and thought about what the Soul Spirit had told her. She nodded and said, "Alright, alright, let's say he helped you... you!"
"I'll find you a new dress," the Rabbit Queen said.
"I'll wear this," Mu Anxiao replied.
"No, it's too disrespectful to go in that state," the Rabbit Queen retorted.
Mu Anxiao looked at the Rabbit Queen's slightly anxious expression and said, "You're afraid Pia will blame you, aren't you?"
Upon hearing this, the Rabbit Queen lowered her head.
"Consider it done," Mu Anxiao said, walking past the Rabbit Queen and glancing at the screen. "That black rabbit on it, isn't that you?"
Hearing this, the Rabbit Queen squinted and said, "You should hurry and change your clothes."
"You don't want to say, huh," Mu Anxiao pouted, turned around and said, "I can't change unless you get me one."
"I'll get it for you," the Rabbit Queen said, turning around, she carefully glanced at Mu Anxiao, and walked around the screen to the wardrobe.
Mu Anxiao looked at the black rabbit on the screen and said, "Perhaps, I've seen you before."
"I don't understand what you're saying?" the Rabbit Queen said while looking for a dress.
Mu Anxiao's lips curved, "Indeed, I wasn't very famous back then. And now, I'm just notorious. I'm used to it."
The Rabbit Queen did not reply.
A few minutes later...
The Rabbit Queen walked up to Mu Anxiao holding a blue dress, "Put it on."
"Yes, I don't like overly heavy makeup," Mu Anxiao said.
"He's already instructed me," the Rabbit Queen smiled.
"Okay," Mu Anxiao nodded and pointed at the screen, "I can change behind it."
"Go ahead," the Rabbit Queen agreed.
Mu Anxiao smiled at the Rabbit Queen, stepped forward, and went behind the screen to change.
Fifteen minutes later, Mu Anxiao tidied her appearance and left the room. Following behind the Rabbit Queen, she couldn't help but ask, "Why do they call you Rabbit Queen?"
"It sounds good," the Rabbit Queen replied with two words.
Mu Anxiao sighed, her hands behind her back, "King is a rather powerful word. Queen, you really have great ambitions."
The Rabbit Queen remained silent.
Mu Anxiao looked at the Rabbit Queen's silent back and smiled down.
Soon, they arrived outside the reception hall. The Rabbit Queen said to the side, "Don't say anything out of place later."
"I know," Mu Anxiao nodded.
The Rabbit Queen's expression was blank. She took a deep breath and gestured, "You first."
"You first," Mu Anxiao pointed at the Rabbit Queen.
The Rabbit Queen's brow furrowed slightly.
Mu Anxiao understood the Rabbit Queen's meaning, grinned, and went ahead.
The Rabbit Queen breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her hand, and followed behind her.
The next moment, Mu Anxiao stopped at the door of the reception hall. She looked at the men in black sitting on both sides inside and thought, "These guys are the same type as Pia. Oh dear, I need to be careful." With that thought, she swallowed and stepped over the threshold, unable to help but say, "Hello!"
At the sound, their gazes shifted one by one to Mu Anxiao's face.
Mu Anxiao felt a chill and gave a faint smile. She glanced at Pia, who was sitting in the main seat, looking at her indifferently. She took a deep breath.
"Come here," Pia said.
Mu Anxiao maintained her smile and walked gracefully to Pia's side.
"Sit down," Pia said.
