The little girl, seeing Wan Sha's bitter expression, turned to look at the little boy behind her and said, "Brother, don't cry, she's a good person." As she spoke, she let go of Wan Sha's hand and reached out to gently stroke the little boy's head.
"Can he understand you?" Wan Sha glanced at the pouting little boy.
"He should be able to," the little girl said, tightening her grip on the little boy's hand. She turned back to look at Wan Sha, who was crouching in front of her, and said, "If he can, can you help change his clothes, sister? He must be very uncomfortable like this."
"That's pee..." Wan Sha expressed her disgust. "I... no."
The little girl said, "But I don't know how." As she spoke, she glanced at her own hands.
The little girl was four years old, but her language and organizational skills were far better than many children Wan Sha had met. She was even much more sensible. Looking at the child, Wan Sha felt a pang of sympathy.
However, a monster was still a monster.
There was no other way; she had to suppress the emotions stirring within her and continue to feign indifference. "Fine, take me there." She held out her hand.
Seeing Wan Sha agree, the little girl's face lit up with a smile. "Thank you, sister." As she spoke, she tugged on Wan Sha's hand.
Wan Sha stood up and looked down at the small figure hiding behind the little girl. "Walk yourself," she said.
The little boy was also a clever one. Seeing that Wan Sha and the little girl were chatting so well, he sidestepped his sister, walked in front of Wan Sha, spread his little arms, tilted his small head, and looked up at Wan Sha, giggling.
Wan Sha looked down at the little one, thinking about his situation, and refused. "Walk yourself, I'm not carrying you."
"Carry, carry, carry," the little one stomped his feet.
Wan Sha looked at his clumsy movements with disdain. Then, she glanced at the little girl who was giving her a wry smile, sighed, and bent down to pick up the little boy.
The little boy, as if afraid Wan Sha would put him down, deliberately wrapped his arms around her neck.
As he hugged her, Wan Sha's entire body stiffened.
The little girl stepped forward and tugged on Wan Sha's belt. "Sister, it's just over there."
Wan Sha nodded, took a deep breath, glanced at the little boy's head buried in her shoulder, and reluctantly walked forward with the little girl.
Unexpectedly, just as she was about to lead them onto the gravel path, a red light suddenly descended and, with a thud, struck in front of them.
Wan Sha stopped abruptly. The little girl and the little boy were so scared they started crying.
In the tree, Mu Xiang clung tightly to the tree. Ye Yu, terrified, grabbed Mu Xiang's arm, trembling all over. Mu Xiang deeply felt Ye Yu's fear beside her and whispered, "Hold on to me."
Ye Yu obeyed, gripping Mu Xiang's arm tighter and pressing her head against her shoulder, not daring to move.
Below, Wan Sha, holding the little boy in one arm and the crying little girl in the other, retreated a few steps. "Don't be afraid."
"Wuwuwu." The little girl and the little boy continued to cry uncontrollably.
Wan Sha knew they were scared and didn't stop them. She turned to look at the reception hall where the red light was emanating, wondering, "What's going on?"
Inside the reception hall.
Within the demonic barrier, Ou Yangye crouched in front of Mu Anxiao, pressing his hand firmly on the top of Mu Anxiao's head. Then, looking at the red light emanating from Mu Anxiao's body, he smiled and said, "You are very suitable to be a demon."
Mu Anxiao was once again controlled by Ou Yangye, unable to move any part of her body. This time, she couldn't even open her eyes.
Xi Er sat on the rafter, smiling.
Mu Xi stood before the barrier, looking at his sister-in-law Mu Xiang, who had started crying loudly inside. His heart sank. Just as he was about to comfort her with words, she walked to the barrier, placed her hands on it, and looked at Mu Xi (the fake Mu Long), crying out, "Save the children quickly, save the children."
"..."
During the year here, Mu Xi only knew that there was a sister-in-law Mu Xiang who looked exactly like Xin'er, but he didn't know... that sister-in-law Mu Xiang had children. Seeing her now, he was also stunned.
Seeing that Mu Xi (the fake Mu Long) remained indifferent, Sister-in-law Mu Xiang cried out excitedly, "They are our children, go quickly, go!" As she spoke, she pounded hard on the barrier.
Mu Xi (the fake Mu Long)'s eyes deepened. "I know, I this..." Before he could finish speaking, Sister-in-law Mu Xiang fainted in front of him.
Seeing this, he quickly knelt down beside Sister-in-law Mu Xiang to see if she was alright.
Outside the demonic barrier.
Piao surveyed the red light surrounding his body, then looked down at his own unharmed body and that of Feng Qishi. "This is the evil energy from my disciple's body, so it didn't harm us." As he spoke, he looked at Feng Qishi, who was clenching his fists helplessly.
Feng Qishi said, "That evil energy isn't Mu Shazi's, it definitely isn't." As he spoke, he turned to look at Piao.
As deities, they could use demonic arts when required by their celestial duties. However, they absolutely could not possess evil energy. Once an immortal developed evil energy, they would be classified as a sinful immortal who opposed the celestial realm.
Mu Anxiao, without any celestial duties, using demonic arts was already a grave offense. Now, her body had also produced evil energy, which left Feng Qishi with no room for acceptance.
"..." Piao's eyes deepened.
Feng Qishi clenched his fists, deciding to observe for now before drawing conclusions.
Inside the demonic barrier.
Ou Yangye turned to look at Feng Qishi outside the barrier and said, "Her evil energy can already control my demonic barrier." He said this, removed his hand from the top of Mu Anxiao's head, and stood up. "I think the celestial beings of the celestial realm already know, so she is destined to be mine."
Hearing Ou Yangye's words, Feng Qishi suddenly realized. "I know."
Piao asked, "Know what?" He turned to look at Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi snapped his fingers, silencing their voices, and turned to Piao. "That guy used Mu Shazi's spiritual energy."
"What do you mean?"
Piao had always believed that Mu Anxiao had generated evil energy herself. He also believed that the surrounding red light emanated from Mu Anxiao's body. Therefore, he had already prepared himself to confront Ou Yangye and save Mu Anxiao.
Who would have thought... his assumptions were all wrong.
Thinking about it, he not only felt a sense of disappointment, but since he believed Mu Anxiao was alright, he felt relieved again.
Ou Yangye looked at Feng Qishi, who was deliberately blocking their voices, and muttered, "Damn it." He then looked down at Mu Anxiao.
At the same time, Feng Qishi also glanced at Ou Yangye and said, "Mu Anxiao was poisoned just now, and the owner of that demonic barrier is him. Naturally, his spiritual energy is also in the demonic barrier. Therefore, what he just did to Mu Anxiao was actually a self-directed and self-acted play. As for his purpose for doing this, it is..." He stopped speaking.
Piao asked, "Why did you stop?" He had listened carefully.
Feng Qishi lowered his gaze and thought. He turned to look at Mu Anxiao, who was still sitting cross-legged in place, and continued, "It was to replace the spiritual energy of the poison in him with Mu Anxiao's spiritual energy, and then force that poison out of Mu Anxiao's body, forming a new demonic barrier. This way," he turned to look at the red light flying out of the reception hall, thinking of the loud noise just now, his eyes deepened, "the upper realm will believe that Mu Anxiao cooperated with him and developed evil energy."
"My guess is half right," Piao said excitedly.
Feng Qishi nodded. "Yes, but Mu Anxiao actually doesn't have any evil energy." As he spoke, he looked at Ou Yangye.
Ou Yangye crouched down again and reached out to support Mu Anxiao's shoulders.
Seeing this, Feng Qishi clenched his fists. "Damn it, this guy has to be dealt with."
Piao said, "Too despicable." As he spoke, he turned to look at Feng Qishi. "Why don't we break through?"
"Break through..." Feng Qishi repeated, lowering his eyes. Just as he was about to figure it out, the cries of the two children suddenly reached him.
Upon hearing them, Piao's body stiffened. "There are children too," he said, turning to look towards the door.
Feng Qishi, like Piao, turned to look in that direction. "There are children here? Whose are they?"
Piao shook his head.
Feng Qishi looked down at the long sword in his hand and said in a low voice, "It seems I can't act rashly."
"Mm." Piao agreed and turned to look at Mu Anxiao, who was still trying to heal herself inside. "After that guy caused trouble, how much spiritual energy will my disciple have to use?"
Feng Qishi muttered, "Spiritual energy." He suddenly remembered that Mu Anxiao was always very stingy with using spells. In the past, it was precisely to save spiritual energy that she was hesitant to make a move.
Now, Ou Yangye had replaced her spiritual energy within that demonic barrier. Feng Qishi thought that she would definitely be angry if she knew.
Thinking this, the corner of his mouth curled up. Just as he was about to speak, Piao's angry voice reached his ears, "What is he doing?"
Hearing this, Feng Qishi glanced at Piao, who was full of anger, then followed Piao's gaze and looked back towards the demonic barrier. Ou Yangye was actually cupping Mu Anxiao's face.
Seeing this scene, Feng Qishi quickly removed the sound barrier, clenched his long sword, and before Ou Yangye could bring his face closer to Mu Anxiao, he shouted with all his might, "Mu Shazi, your spiritual energy is about to run out, wake up!"
Piao was startled.
Ou Yangye paused, then smirked and continued to bring his face closer to Mu Anxiao.
Seeing that Mu Anxiao didn't move, Feng Qishi continued to shout, "Mu Shazi, wake up, wake up!" As he shouted, he raised his sword in a frenzy and slashed towards the demonic barrier.
Seeing this, Piao rushed forward and pulled him back. Feng Qishi paused and looked at Piao.
Piao said, "Are you crazy?"
Feng Qishi glared at Piao. "His lips are about to kiss Mu Shazi. You can stand by and do nothing, but I can't."
"You..." After uttering a word, Piao's head suddenly ached. Then, a string of memories rushed into his mind. Following that, his head went blank, and he vaguely recalled scenes of him and Mu Anxiao together. After a few seconds of recovery, he looked up at Feng Qishi, who was still glaring at him, and said, "She is my disciple."
Feng Qishi said, "Too much nonsense." As he spoke, just as he was about to shake off Piao, Piao let go first. Then, he took a step forward, conjured his axe again, and forcefully slashed towards the demonic barrier.
Seeing this, Feng Qishi did not stop him. He turned, raised his long sword, and slashed at the demonic barrier, shouting, "Mu Shazi, wake up, wake up." Inside the demonic barrier, Mu Xi was controlled by Xi Er's demonic art, unable to move.
Xi Er remained perched on the rafter, looking down at Feng Qishi and Piao, who were confronting the demonic barrier, and smiled. She turned to look at Mu Xi, who was looking up at her, and said, "You absorbed my demonic energy, ruining my cultivation. I really want to kill you."
Mu Xi didn't have much impression of Xi Er, but he remembered... one day that year, his demonic energy surged, and because of that demonic energy, his speed also increased significantly.
Hearing Xi Er's words now, he wondered if that demonic energy belonged to her.
Xi Er glared angrily at Mu Xi.
Being stared at so fiercely by Xi Er made Mu Xi very uncomfortable. "You killed me, and you still..."
"You deceived me first and killed me, so me killing you," Xi Er interrupted, "is just taking revenge for myself."
"You..."
"Everything you have today is because of me. If it weren't for the master, I would kill you right now and scatter your soul." Xi Er said, glaring at Mu Xi, then turning to look at Ou Yangye, who was face-to-face with Mu Anxiao.
Mu Xi froze completely.
Ou Yangye gazed at Mu Anxiao's slightly moving eyelids at close range and smiled. "Do you want to see your husband's face so badly?" As he spoke, he gently brushed aside the strands of hair blocking her eyes.
Mu Anxiao felt Ou Yangye's breath and heard Feng Qishi and Piao shouting. At this moment, she was struggling to break free from the restraint within her body.
Feng Qishi, watching the distance between Ou Yangye and Mu Anxiao, felt a surge of jealousy. He gripped the hilt of his sword, continuously slashing at the demonic barrier, and shouted, "Get away from her, Mu Shazi, wake up, wake up."
Piao also shouted, "Disciple, your cheapness is about to be taken advantage of, wake up..." Halfway through his shout, the monster's roar was heard again from within the demonic barrier.
Upon hearing this, Piao and Feng Qishi stopped simultaneously, took a step back, exchanged a look, then continued to advance, slashing forcefully.
Unexpectedly, as they continued, Ou Yangye kissed Mu Anxiao.
At the same time, Mu Anxiao, resisting with all her heart, opened her eyes, raised her hand, pushed Ou Yangye away, shouted, "You're asking for death," and then furiously wiped her mouth.
Ou Yangye sat back on the ground, raised his hand, and gently rubbed his lips with his thumb. "I am asking for death, but your spiritual energy is really useful," he said, standing up.
"Scum," Mu Anxiao whispered, quickly standing up, spreading her hand to conjure her soul sword.
In contrast, Ou Yangye remained quite calm. "I saved you, and you don't thank your husband, and you even..."
"Nonsense," Mu Anxiao cursed, raising her soul sword and charging towards Ou Yangye.
Xi Er burst into laughter.
By the demonic barrier, Feng Qishi and Piao had once again begun to slay the monster.
Mu Anxiao and Ou Yangye also began to fight.
Outside the reception hall.
Wan Sha was still holding the little boy in one arm and the little girl in the other. She turned to look at the reception hall from which the monster's roar was coming, and her heart skipped a beat. She looked down at the little girl. "Can you protect your brother?"
The little girl shook her head.
Wan Sha frowned. "You..."
"Sister, you said you would protect us," the little girl said, clutching Wan Sha's arm tightly.
Wan Sha's heart sank. She looked down at the little boy, who had finally stopped crying and was resting on her shoulder with a smile, and sighed. "Alright, I'll protect you." As she spoke, she gave up on supporting Feng Qishi and the others, turned, and hid behind a tree with the children.
Mu Xiang looked at Wan Sha's actions with relief and smiled.
Ye Yu also smiled as he looked at Mu Xiang.
Immediately upon hearing Ye Yu's laughter, Mu Xiang's expression turned stern.
The back door of the Mu family.
The wolf demon looked up at the red light covering the Mu family and frowned.
The elders and the others, seeing this situation, dared not make a sound.
Gu Xiao said, "That's a demonic barrier." He walked up to the wolf demon.
The wolf demon glanced at Gu Xiao and asked, "What is a demonic barrier?"
"It's a demonic artifact that summons monsters, but," Gu Xiao frowned, "I heard... that thing is no longer in existence?"
The wolf demon said, "No longer in existence, tsk tsk, that's strange." As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes, deciding not to act rashly.
Gu Xiao's abilities were limited, so he didn't say any more useless words.
