"Then I can't help her at all."
"You can't show yourself, just hide away."
"Hide away?" Feng Qishi asked in confusion. "If I hide away, Mu Shazi will lose her sense of security, and she definitely won't go forward alone. In the end, I'll still have to deal with them."
"That's your problem. In short, if you don't want Ouyang Ye to bother my disciple, you'll listen to me. If you do, then we can leave now." Zhang Yan said, patting Feng Qishi's shoulder before walking ahead.
Feng Qishi thought for a moment and quickly followed Zhang Yan, saying, "Can't you just tell Mu Shazi this?"
"Are you stupid? My disciple values her life. She'll definitely bargain with me, maybe even ask for money. So, this matter," Zhang Yan said, turning to look at Feng Qishi, "this matter is entrusted to you."
"Truly worthy of being master and disciple, both with such heavy thoughts."
"..." Zhang Yan chuckled and said nothing.
Meanwhile, the moment Jiong Ye and the others broke free from the red thread, the sky suddenly changed, and two monsters gradually appeared opposite them.
Seeing that, they dared not act rashly, and gathered together.
Zhao Meier exclaimed, "Master, what's going on?" She hid behind Jiong Ye.
Jiong Ye looked down at his own single hand and said, "I don't know." He had been injured by a monster before, so he was scared. However, due to his status, he didn't show it.
Zhao Meier frowned, "Master..."
"Master, will it eat us?" Hai interrupted from behind Zhao Meier.
Immediately, everyone else trembled in fear.
Mu Anxiao, to test her synergy with Bi Shou, brought the dagger to a tree not far from them, peeking out at them, wondering whether to attack.
Bi Shou stood obediently behind Mu Anxiao, saying nothing.
Jiong Ye stood frozen, watching the monsters roar at them, holding his breath. Just as he was about to speak, Yue Ci came charging with a short knife.
Jiong Ye watched Yue Ci's charging figure and quickly retreated with Zhao Meier and the others.
The next moment.
The two monsters seemed to sense something, withdrew their gaze, and slowly turned around.
Seeing them turn towards him, Yue Ci's lips curled. He raised his short knife and slashed fiercely at them.
The two monsters roared and clashed with Yue Ci.
Yue Ci's attacks were precise and fierce. Everyone was terrified.
After a moment, the people still stared at the blood-covered, fluid-moving Yue Ci with fear in their eyes, not daring to make a sound.
Jiong Ye was also stunned.
Zhao Meier's eyes widened as she watched Yue Ci leap, fall, leap, and fall again. She swallowed and said, "Master, this is no ordinary person."
"I can tell," Jiong Ye glanced at Zhao Meier, then back at Yue Ci, who had dispersed the monsters with the last blow. He blinked and said, "Retreat to the back."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Meier was bewildered, "Why..."
"Don't ask, he is an immortal," Jiong Ye interrupted.
When Zhao Meier heard this, she quickly turned, passed through the crowd, and hid at the very back.
Immediately after, Yue Ci stopped his actions and looked at Jiong Ye, "You are a monster." He tightened his grip on the short knife.
Jiong Ye noticed Yue Ci's action and chuckled, "I am a good monster."
"Good monster..." Yue Ci said, glancing behind Jiong Ye. "These are all people."
Hearing Yue Ci's words, the people chuckled foolishly.
Yue Ci looked at the expressions on their faces, curled his lips, and turned to look at Xi'er, who had appeared before him. "Yo, you followed again."
"They've all been killed." Xi'er glared at Yue Ci.
Yue Ci's lips curled. He looked down at the bloodstains on his short knife and said, "Yes, they've all been killed. I never expected their blood to be red."
"Don't you find it ridiculous when you say that?" Xi'er said coldly.
Hearing this, Yue Ci was not angry. Instead, he calmly looked at Xi'er, who was teasing him, and said, "Are there any more monsters? Release them, I'm a bit short on cash lately." He clenched his fists.
Xi'er: "I won't give you the monsters anymore." Saying this, she spread her hands and conjured a spear. "Let me see if you can beat me."
"..." Yue Ci's eyes narrowed.
Xi'er's lips curved slightly, and she thrust the spear directly at Yue Ci.
Immediately, Yue Ci dodged quickly, then looked down at his short knife, which was at a disadvantage. He said, "I wouldn't believe you if you said you didn't do it on purpose." After speaking, he dodged in various ways.
Xi'er sneered and, following Yue Ci's dodges, accelerated the speed of her spear swings.
At this moment, Jiong Ye, worried that Xi'er might accidentally injure them, quickly retreated with them.
Mu Anxiao was startled by their synchronized retreat, turned to look at Bi Shou, and said, "Return to your original form."
Bi Shou followed Mu Anxiao's command, quickly reverted to his original form, and flew to Mu Anxiao's hand.
Mu Anxiao grasped Bi Shou and turned to leave, but Zhao Meier turned to her, "Who are you?"
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao's body stiffened. Just as she was unsure what to do, Bi Shou whispered, "You are a woman now, she won't recognize you. Hurry!"
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao looked down at the dagger in her hand, then turned with a burst of courage towards Zhao Meier. "It's me." She wanted to see if Zhao Meier could recognize her.
Bi Shou was deeply speechless.
Zhao Meier frowned, "Who are you?" She did not recognize Mu Anxiao.
Seeing Zhao Meier's confused expression, Mu Anxiao smugly said, "I am the ghost in this forbidden forest."
"Ghost?" Zhao Meier repeated, narrowing her eyes. "You're not a ghost, are you?"
"I..."
"Mu Shazi, you've been here all this time." Feng Qishi suddenly appeared and interrupted.
However, Mu Anxiao did not want to have any conflict with Zhao Meier, because she knew that Zhao Meier liked Feng Qishi. If she fought with Zhao Meier, Zhao Meier would definitely use Feng Qishi to her advantage.
Therefore, she just wanted to test the waters casually and then leave.
She never expected Feng Qishi to disrupt all her plans.
".." She turned to look at Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi looked down at Mu Anxiao, then at Zhao Meier, who looked at him in surprise, and said nothing.
Zhao Meier's eyes widened. "Feng Qishi, why are you here? Don't you want to cure your poison?"
"Don't try to threaten me with that," Feng Qishi said, placing his hand on Mu Anxiao's back, and whispering, "Shazi, your back wound hasn't healed yet, and you're here to fight them. Are you crazy?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore," Mu Anxiao said softly, looking expressionlessly at everyone who turned to face them, narrowing her eyes.
"That's because I used healing magic to numb the wound. Once the spell wears off, your wound will tear open," Feng Qishi said while healing Mu Anxiao.
The next second, Mu Anxiao deeply felt the pain in her back, but to prevent them from seeing that she was injured, she could only grit her teeth and endure the pain, pretending to be calm.
