"You know the black rabbit's sister?" Mu Anxiao asked Hong Yan in surprise.
Hong Yan nodded.
"Then that means you knew the Rabbit Queen before as well?" Mu Anxiao said, walking up to the table.
Hong Yan replied, "We knew each other. I didn't want to talk about it."
"Then... does she know you know her?" Mu Anxiao asked again.
Hong Yan paused for a moment before saying, "No, she only knows I'm a rabbit spirit who can't transform into human form. Because I sided with humans, she considers me an enemy."
"Now I can understand why she hates humans so much," Mu Anxiao nodded.
Hong Yan remained silent.
Mu Anxiao looked down at Hong Yan and asked, "Do you want to save her?"
"How can I save her?" Hong Yan tilted her rabbit face and asked.
Mu Anxiao reached out and stroked Hong Yan's head, saying, "I have a way to help you transform into human form."
"But..."
"We still don't know the Rabbit Queen's plan, so please," Mu Anxiao said, looking into Hong Yan's eyes.
Hong Yan stared back at Mu Anxiao without speaking.
The man in green, upon hearing Mu Anxiao's arrangement, quickly looked at Hun Ling and said, "You've been with them all along, you must know their plan, right?"
"I don't know," Hun Ling shook his head.
"How can you not know?" the man in green said, glancing at Hong Yan. "She's injured, she can't go."
"I only know that they see humans as enemies. I really don't know anything else," Hun Ling said with difficulty.
Mu Anxiao turned to Hun Ling and said, "I'll go with her."
"I'll go," Feng Qishi said eagerly.
Mu Anxiao looked at Feng Qishi and said, "Only if I am captured can she trust the Rabbit Queen. What do you know?"
"You..."
"Stop talking. No matter what, you have immortal energy. With this, I can conceal my immortal energy," Mu Anxiao said, tugging at the pouch around her neck.
"I have a way to fill you with human aura," Hong Yan suddenly said.
Mu Anxiao frowned, turning to Hong Yan, "You're not going to use that disgusting trick again, are you?"
"No, this is a sorcery. This is how I used to evade the noses of hunting dogs," Hong Yan said seriously.
"What are hunting dogs?" Mu Anxiao asked, puzzled.
"Hunting dogs are hunters' dogs," Hong Yan said with a smile.
The man in green looked at Hong Yan, then at Hun Ling, and said, "You're going to teach her sorcery to help her transform into human form?"
"Yes," Hun Ling nodded.
The man in green's eyes darkened. He walked to the table and looked down at Hong Yan, saying, "I'm sorry."
"Why are you apologizing to me?" Hong Yan turned to the man in green and asked.
The man in green said, "Originally, I should have been the one to teach you how to transform into human form, but I haven't found that method yet. I just wanted to use you to help me find Miss Xian Yuan, so, I'm sorry, I was too selfish."
Hong Yan stared at the man in green for a few seconds, saying, "Everyone has their own selfishness. If I had listened to you at the beginning, I wouldn't have lost Black Rabbit's trust. I thought she could understand me, but as you said, she has done too many wicked things that she can no longer listen to any advice."
"Did I say that?" the man in green asked in surprise.
"I remember you saying it," Hong Yan said firmly.
"Then, I must have said it," the man in green rubbed the back of his head.
Hong Yan looked at the man in green's face and said, "If I can come back alive, I will continue to rely on my nose to help you find Miss Xian Yuan."
"You will definitely come back," the man in green said, reaching out and stroking Hong Yan's head.
Mu Anxiao looked at the man in green's gentle side and sighed, "Alright, you can all go out."
"Aren't you going out?" the man in green pointed at Mu Anxiao and asked.
"I'm going out," Mu Anxiao said, tilting her head up.
"You..."
"Alright, let's go," Feng Qishi interrupted the man in green.
The man in green curled his lips and followed Feng Qishi to the door. Just as Feng Qishi opened the door, Shi Yi ran in front of him. "You're out." He stepped back a few paces.
"What are you doing here?" Feng Qishi stepped over the threshold and stopped in front of Shi Yi.
The man in green came out, turned around, and closed the door, sighing.
Shi Yi peeked at the man in green's back, then turned to Feng Qishi and asked, "What's wrong with him?"
"It's nothing. What are you doing here?" Feng Qishi repeated his question.
Shi Yi said, "I wanted to help, but as I was about to knock, I was electrocuted by immortal energy. Then I waited for you to come out." He continued, "Um, where is Mu Anxiao?"
"Mu Anxiao is resting," Feng Qishi said casually.
The man in green turned to Shi Yi, "What are you doing here?"
"I..."
As Shi Yi uttered one word, Feng Qishi turned and said, "He's waiting for Mu Anxiao." He winked at the man in green.
The man in green understood his meaning and said, "She is resting."
"Is that so?" Shi Yi nodded.
"Thank you," the man in green suddenly said.
Shi Yi was surprised. "Why are you thanking me?"
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known that things inside the cultivation sect were so complicated. Thank you." The man in green walked up to Shi Yi.
Shi Yi smiled sheepishly and said, "No, it's what I should do."
"Let's go down for a cup of tea," the man in green said, gesturing towards the stairs.
"Okay," Shi Yi readily agreed.
The man in green hooked his lips and glanced at Feng Qishi, "Let's go, senior brother."
"Let's," Feng Qishi replied casually and walked ahead.
The man in green put his arm around Shi Yi's shoulder, "This is the first time I've put my arm around a male demon's shoulder."
"Really!" Shi Yi replied awkwardly.
Inside the room, Mu Anxiao stepped back to the door and said, "Is it starting now?"
Hun Ling looked down at Hong Yan and said, "Yes, it's best if you stay far away. The demonic energy is too strong."
"Is this distance okay?" Mu Anxiao asked, leaning against the door.
Hun Ling glanced at Mu Anxiao and said, "Yes, it's just right."
"That's good then," Mu Anxiao nodded.
Hong Yan asked, "What should I do?"
"Close your eyes, don't think about anything else, think about beautiful things. Only then can you become beautiful," Hun Ling said, clasping his hands together.
"Mm," Hong Yan nodded. As she closed her eyes, scenes of her day with the man in green began to continuously appear in her mind. Thinking about them made her feel better.
After an unknown amount of time, transparent light beams enveloped Hong Yan. Hun Ling took a step back and said, "Begin the spell."
"Okay," Hong Yan replied. She slowly raised her front paw, then the other paw, and gradually, her body began to change.
A dazzling beam of light flashed into Mu Anxiao's eyes at that moment. She quickly turned her head away.
