Mu Anxiao glanced at Feng Qishi behind her and followed Feng Sen into the living room.
"Hello," she said politely.
Hearing this, Feng Mu opened her swollen eyes and looked at Mu Anxiao, saying, "You've come."
"Mm," Mu Anxiao replied.
"I dreamed of Qishi. He said he wanted you to escort him on his final journey, so I thought of finding you. I hope I haven't delayed you," Feng Mu said politely.
Mu Anxiao shook her head and glanced sideways at Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi smiled sheepishly, "It was an accident that I appeared in your dream, I apologize."
Mu Anxiao remained silent, withdrew her gaze, and said, "Alright, is there anything I can help with?"
"Sit down," Feng Mu said, lowering her legs and gesturing to the spot beside her.
Mu Anxiao looked unnaturally at Feng Qishi, walked around the coffee table, and sat down on the sofa.
Feng Qishi stood by the coffee table and said, "I'll look for the female demon soul."
Mu Anxiao lowered her eyelids, indicating agreement.
Feng Qishi understood Mu Anxiao's intention at a glance and turned to begin searching for the female demon soul's whereabouts.
Feng Sen looked at Mu Anxiao, who was sitting next to Feng Mu, and said, "Mom, she's the one I brought here."
"What, are you asking me for money?" Feng Mu replied.
Feng Sen said, "I'm just showing off. No matter then, I'll go back to my room to charge my phone."
"You go ahead," Feng Mu waved her hand.
Feng Sen glanced at Mu Anxiao and said, "See you later."
Mu Anxiao ignored him, looking down at the fruit on the coffee table and frowning.
Immediately, Feng Mu bent down to pour Mu Anxiao a glass of water and said, "Have some water."
"Where are Feng Feng and the others?" Mu Anxiao asked.
Feng Mu handed the glass to Mu Anxiao and said, "They are still busy."
"Oh," Mu Anxiao responded, taking the glass and taking a sip of water.
Feng Mu looked at Mu Anxiao's profile and said, "Before, I never understood why Qishi liked to play with you. Now I know."
"Huh?" Mu Anxiao was surprised and leaned forward, putting down the glass.
Feng Mu said, "You are a very kind girl, and a little bit foolish."
Mu Anxiao looked at Feng Mu's serious expression and was speechless.
Feng Mu added, "I didn't think you would come."
Mu Anxiao didn't know how to converse with Feng Mu, so she became tongue-tied, looked around, and said, "Please accept my condolences."
"Mm," Feng Mu couldn't help but shed tears again.
Mu Anxiao looked at Feng Mu's profile. For some reason, she felt no sympathy for her; on the contrary, she felt Feng Mu deserved it. But considering the atmosphere, Mu Anxiao subconsciously glanced at her hands, then hesitantly raised them to gently pat Feng Mu's shoulder, "If you want to cry, just cry. You'll feel better after crying."
"Qishi must hate me," Feng Mu cried.
"Whether he hates you or not, I don't know, but what I want to say is, you must stay healthy," Mu Anxiao comforted casually.
"You're so good at comforting people. I thought you wouldn't be able to,"
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao's eyes widened, and she looked up at the female demon soul hiding in the lampshade, swallowing.
"Are you afraid of me?" the female demon soul said.
Mu Anxiao remained silent.
Seeing Mu Anxiao not speaking, the female demon soul suddenly flew out from the lampshade and stopped above the coffee table, saying, "Why aren't you talking?"
"Why should she talk to you?"
Hearing this, the female demon soul smirked and turned to look at Feng Qishi, who was glaring at her, and smiled, "I thought you couldn't sense me. I didn't expect you to be quite capable."
"Today, you won't escape my palm," Feng Qishi said childishly, raising his hand in front of the female demon soul and clenching it.
The female demon soul laughed, "Although you are a descendant of Shen Yan, you are not as powerful as Shen Yan, so," she widened her eyes, "I'm not afraid of you."
"I knew you weren't afraid of me," Feng Qishi said suddenly.
Mu Anxiao frowned at Feng Qishi's sudden change to a flippant demeanor.
The female demon soul smiled upwards and floated down from the coffee table, saying, "You've changed too quickly."
"Have you ever seen me?" Feng Qishi asked inexplicably.
Mu Anxiao was speechless at Feng Qishi's behavior and withdrew her hand from Feng Mu's shoulder.
Feng Mu continued to cry.
Mu Anxiao stopped comforting and continued to watch Feng Qishi, who was incessantly talking to the female demon soul, her brow deeply furrowed.
At the same time, Feng Sen came downstairs and entered the living room. Seeing Feng Mu crying, his heart ached. He looked at Mu Anxiao, who was staring somewhere, and softly asked, "What's wrong with my mom?"
The female demon soul turned to look at them.
Feng Qishi was annoyed that the female demon soul was not answering him properly.
Mu Anxiao came back to her senses, looked up at Feng Sen who had asked her, and said, "Your mom misses your brother and is sad."
Upon hearing this, Feng Sen's eyelids drooped.
Mu Anxiao patted Feng Mu's shoulder and stood up, saying, "I think you should help your mom back to her room to rest. She's not in a good state."
"Okay," Feng Sen agreed, walked around the coffee table, bent down, and took Feng Mu's arm, saying, "Mom, let's go lie down in your room."
"Then help take care of Xiaoxiao for me."
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao couldn't help but shiver and said sideways, "Auntie, please just call me Mu Anxiao. Xiaoxiao... Xiaoxiao is too strange."
"Okay," Feng Mu agreed and walked upstairs with Feng Sen.
After Feng Mu left, the aunt came out from the kitchen, "Do you want to eat some fruit?"
"No, thank you, Auntie," Mu Anxiao replied politely.
The aunt said faintly, "Tell Auntie what you want to eat." After speaking, she turned and went back into the kitchen.
Immediately, Mu Anxiao let out a sigh of relief and looked at Feng Qishi and the female demon soul, who were staring at her, frowning.
"I think you should be called Xiaoxiao," the female demon soul said with a smile.
Mu Anxiao remained silent.
Seeing Mu Anxiao's angry but hesitant expression, Feng Qishi snapped his fingers and said, "Alright, try to speak with your mind."
Mu Anxiao looked at Feng Qishi's skillful movements in disbelief. She cleared her throat and asked with her mind, How did you learn that?
Feng Qishi smirked, "I learned it by watching you cast spells."
Boring. Mu Anxiao said with her mind, and looked at the female demon soul: Just because you like this name doesn't mean I do. Also, my body belongs only to me, not to you. You'd better put away those sneaky thoughts of yours.
"From now on, I'll call you Xiaoxiao," the female demon soul said, as if it were a fact.
Feng Qishi said impatiently, "Hey, hey, hey, you haven't answered my question yet."
Hearing this, the female demon soul gasped and turned around, saying, "How would I know if you've lived until now or not? Can you stop asking me?"
"No, if my guess is correct, I am an immortal. I must have lived until now, so you must have seen me," Feng Qishi said, then paused and smiled, "Was I handsome?"
"Although this is a future time in Xiaoxiao's timeline, you are not here. Even if you were, you wouldn't be able to see them," the female demon soul said.
