"You speak, and I speak, why can't we communicate?" the vine spirit said angrily.
"If you can't see eyes, a nose, or a mouth, it always feels very strange," Feng Qishi deliberately provoked the vine spirit's patience.
"If I let you see me, do you think," the vine spirit emphasized, "you would still be alive?"
"No," Feng Qishi took a step back. "But I am already dead. You talking about killing me, don't you find it ridiculous?"
"I can make your soul dissipate," the vine spirit said coldly.
Feng Qishi deliberately retreated another step, saying, "Is that so? Then you are truly formidable. However, I am an immortal soul; you might find it difficult to deal with."
"Who are you?" the vine spirit suddenly reacted and asked.
"I am me; who I am," Feng Qishi answered evasively.
"You..."
"Alright, stop with the 'you.' Hurry and release Hu Yuan. The wolf demon is now just a mortal with nothing. Even if he wanted to find you, he wouldn't be able to," Feng Qishi said.
"What do you mean by that?" the vine spirit asked.
Feng Qishi stared coldly at the vine spirit before him and said, "What I mean is... I don't know either."
The vine spirit said coldly, "With you like this, it seems like there's no point anymore!"
"Communicating with you is a very pointless thing," Feng Qishi said with a forced smile.
"Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore," the vine spirit said, turning towards Mu Anxiao.
"Release him first," Feng Qishi pointed towards Hu Yuan.
"No."
"If you don't, I won't let you go," Feng Qishi said, suddenly reaching out and grabbing the chain.
Immediately, the vine spirit began to struggle against Feng Qishi's hand. Feng Qishi held on tightly and said, "I won't let you go."
"Let go of me, let go of me," the vine spirit struggled with all its might.
However, the more it struggled, the tighter Feng Qishi held on.
After a few minutes of struggling, the vine spirit stopped struggling and said, "You let me go, and I'll let him go."
"You could escape from the underworld envoy, which shows how cunning you are. So, you cast the spell first, and then I'll let you go," Feng Qishi said. Looking at the vine spirit's current state, he thought: Mu Anxiao, how can she see his weakness when he's like this?
"You..."
As the vine spirit uttered a single word, Feng Qishi said sternly, "Quickly."
Following that, a dark green light shot out from the chain. Then, the mist entwined around Hu Yuan instantly vanished. Hu Yuan opened his eyes, floated to Feng Qishi's side, and asked, "How is the wolf demon?"
Feng Qishi didn't have time to attend to Hu Yuan and released his grip.
Then, the vine spirit flew towards that direction.
Hu Yuan looked in the direction the vine spirit was flying with surprise and said, "The way you're doing this will harm Mu Anxiao."
"It's okay, she has a way," Feng Qishi said, then smiled at Hu Yuan, "You've become like me too."
"Mm," Hu Yuan smiled faintly.
Feng Qishi suddenly extended his hand, "Let's shake hands."
"Huh?" Hu Yuan couldn't figure out what Feng Qishi was trying to do.
"Friends, we are actually quite similar. You suffered torment physically, and I suffered torment psychologically. See how alike we are?" Feng Qishi said, extending his hand.
Hu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then reached out and shook Feng Qishi's hand, smiling, "Yes."
Feng Qishi gave a simple, honest smile.
Then, the moment they released their hands, he looked back towards Mu Anxiao with lingering fear and said, "Will she be alright?"
"No," Feng Qishi said, then glanced at the underworld envoy, the man in white, who was slowly appearing, "You're here."
"I've been looking for a long time," the underworld envoy in white said, coming to Hu Yuan's side.
"Thank me," Feng Qishi deliberately sought credit.
The underworld envoy in white looked at Feng Qishi's appearance and couldn't help but smile, "Thank you."
"You're welcome," Feng Qishi smiled.
The underworld envoy in white smiled and looked at Hu Yuan, "Let's go."
Hu Yuan nodded, then his brow furrowed, and he suddenly said, "Come out."
Next, the big-headed fat demon appeared before them.
"Master, I couldn't save you. I'm sorry."
"You've always been by my side, helping me alleviate the pain. I know," Hu Yuan said.
The big-headed fat demon's eyes welled up with tears again, "Master, in the next life, I and Jijiwa will still be your pets."
"Okay," Hu Yuan agreed and said, "Goodbye."
"Mm," the big-headed fat demon nodded resolutely, holding back the tears that were about to seep from his eyes.
Hu Yuan finally said, "Thank Mu Anxiao for me."
"Okay," Feng Qishi agreed.
Hu Yuan smiled faintly and left with the underworld envoy in white, who hadn't noticed the vine spirit.
The big-headed fat demon sobbed twice and turned to look at Mu Anxiao, who had been silent across the road, and asked, "What is she doing?"
"I don't know," Feng Qishi shook his head.
"Let's go take a look," the big-headed fat demon said.
Feng Qishi reached out to intercept the big-headed fat demon and shook his head, "No need. I believe she can handle it."
"You trust her too much," the big-headed fat demon grumbled.
Feng Qishi said, "It's not that I trust her too much, it's that I believe in her."
"Alright," the big-headed fat demon nodded helplessly.
Across the road, the vine spirit said, "Why aren't you speaking?"
Mu Anxiao replied, "You haven't asked me any questions either."
"How is the wolf demon?" the vine spirit asked.
"Why are you asking that?" Mu Anxiao asked deliberately.
"You asked me to ask you questions, and now you're asking why I'm asking this? Mu Anxiao, are you sick?" the vine spirit said with a stiff tone.
Mu Anxiao looked at the chain floating before her eyes and couldn't help but laugh, "You look so funny like this."
"What do you mean?" the vine spirit retorted.
Mu Anxiao suppressed her laughter and said, "No, I guess even Hei Feng didn't expect you to grow legs and escape."
"This..." the vine spirit hesitated and said, "Indeed, I didn't expect it."
"Let me tell you a secret," Mu Anxiao took a step closer to the vine spirit.
Afraid that Mu Anxiao might suddenly reach out and grab him, the vine spirit drifted back a little and said, "You say what you have to say, but can you please not come closer to me?"
"Fine, I won't come closer," Mu Anxiao nodded and took half a step back.
"You say it," the vine spirit's voice trembled slightly.
"Okay, I'll say it, I'll tell you, you..." Mu Anxiao stopped speaking halfway and her face went blank.
"Mu Anxiao, are you sick?" the vine spirit said helplessly.
Mu Anxiao frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Sorry, I forgot."
"You're deliberately playing with my appetite," the vine spirit said impatiently, and at the same time, the chain began to glow.
Mu Anxiao, seeing the vine spirit's anger and feeling the unnatural tone of her own speech, felt a sense of tension in her heart, saying, "I really forgot." Search "An Xiao Feng Qi Shi Jie Zhong Wen Xue" on Baidu for the latest chapters available for free.
