Mu Anxiao hadn't expected the rattan spirit to be so well-prepared and said, "He's on the third floor."
"The third floor," the rattan spirit repeated.
Mu Anxiao nodded.
Without another word, the rattan spirit vanished.
Then, Feng Qishi appeared beside Mu Anxiao and said, "I'm going."
"Go, get the little imp to come out," Mu Anxiao said.
"Alright, Mu Shazi," Feng Qishi agreed and disappeared.
Mu Anxiao sighed, turned to look at the big-headed fat demon watching him calmly, and asked, "Are you worried about the little imp?"
The big-headed fat demon grunted and asked, "Why are you cooperating with him? Aren't you afraid he'll team up with the wolf demon?"
"The wolf demon doesn't want to become a demon," Mu Anxiao stated confidently.
"You believe the wolf demon?" the big-headed fat demon asked in surprise.
Mu Anxiao lowered his gaze and said, "It's not that I believe him, it's just a guess of mine."
"A guess?" The big-headed fat demon frowned, showing confusion.
"If he truly wanted to become a demon, he wouldn't need a body. He could just possess an artifact from the underworld like the rattan spirit. That way, it would be easier to harm people, and he could slowly cultivate a human form without being easily discovered. It's much better," Mu Anxiao said.
"You mean, the rattan spirit used that chain as his body," the big-headed fat demon realized.
"Yes," Mu Anxiao nodded.
"That's too cunning. This way, he won't be discovered," the big-headed fat demon remarked.
Mu Anxiao shrugged his shoulders and looked down at the little follower whose head had just emerged from the ground, saying, "Hello."
"You want to become a demon," the little follower said, emerging from the ground.
Mu Anxiao glanced at the big-headed fat demon and said, "No, I don't."
"Then why are you with that rattan spirit?" the little follower asked.
Mu Anxiao was startled, "You know that guy."
"He told me," the little follower said, pointing at the big-headed fat demon.
Mu Anxiao looked at the big-headed fat demon and said, "You didn't explain it clearly to him."
The big-headed fat demon gave a simple, honest smile.
Mu Anxiao sighed, "Yes, I do want to become a demon, but that fellow won't accept me. It seems I still need to beg him properly."
"You..."
"Alright, hurry up and get back to your business. The rattan spirit is not under your jurisdiction," Mu Anxiao interrupted.
The little follower pouted and said, "You'd better not do anything bad, or I won't let you off either."
"Bye," Mu Anxiao waved his hand.
The little follower said nothing, crouched down, and disappeared.
Afterward, Mu Anxiao looked at the big-headed fat demon and asked, "When are you guys leaving?"
"I don't know, probably after our master's reincarnation," the big-headed fat demon said uncertainly.
Mu Anxiao nodded and glanced towards the hospital building, saying, "Feng Qishi must be faster than him."
"He's on the fourth floor, but you deliberately said the third floor," the big-headed fat demon said.
Mu Anxiao's lips curved, "Clever."
"Impressive," the big-headed fat demon gave a thumbs-up.
Mu Anxiao smiled broadly and then sighed again.
Inside the hospital building, Feng Qishi quickly arrived at the wolf demon's ward. The wolf demon felt Feng Qishi's arrival and opened his eyes, asking, "He's here?"
"Yes, he has a purpose," Feng Qishi said.
The wolf demon sat up and asked, "What purpose?"
Feng Qishi glanced at the little imp sitting on the sofa nearby and asked, "Smell how much time he has left."
The little imp pouted, reluctantly stood up, touched his nose with a finger, and then sniffed, saying, "Second floor."
"How long?" Feng Qishi asked again.
"Just tell me quickly," the little imp said.
Feng Qishi nodded, looked down at the wolf demon, and said, "His purpose is to absorb the demonic energy in your demon soul into his own body. That way, he can transform into a human form, and finally, he will have a place in the demon realm."
"As expected, he's using me," the wolf demon snorted lightly.
"Mu Anxiao gave you a plan," Feng Qishi said.
"Tell me," the wolf demon said.
Feng Qishi glanced at the little imp who remained motionless nearby and said, "She's using him to get a body for you, and then you leave. This way, even if Hu Yuan truly dies."
"He's using wood?" the wolf demon asked.
Feng Qishi shook his head, "When he arrived, he killed a demon who had cultivated into a human in your dimension. He wants to transform that demon into your likeness. Then, you just follow him."
"He won't harm me directly, will he?" the wolf demon asked.
Feng Qishi hesitated for a moment and said, "Mu Anxiao is here."
"Mu Anxiao..." The wolf demon lowered his gaze and said, "Mu Anxiao has no magic left, can she do it?"
"She can. Believe in her," Feng Qishi said firmly.
The wolf demon hesitated for a moment, thinking of the rattan spirit's cunning and sly behavior, and nodded, "Okay, I believe her too."
"Alright, lie down. We're leaving now," Feng Qishi said, turning to look at the little imp, "Let's go."
"This..."
"Only when you leave can that fellow come looking," Feng Qishi interrupted.
The little imp hesitated, glanced at the wolf demon, then turned and flew down the hospital building with Feng Qishi through the window.
At the same time, the rattan spirit, who had been lingering on the second floor, suddenly stopped and turned towards the stairwell, saying, "Mu Anxiao, you actually lied to me." With that, he went straight up through the ceilings of each floor and arrived outside the wolf demon's ward.
"See you again, old friend."
Hearing this, the wolf demon opened his eyes and said, "Come in, what are you doing outside?"
The rattan spirit let out a cold laugh. The moment he passed through the door, an dark green light began to emanate from inside the room.
The wolf demon sat up, looking at the chain floating in front of him, and said, "I didn't expect you to be able to find me."
"I looked before, but I never found you. However, I have to thank," the rattan spirit gave an阴险 smile, "Mu Anxiao."
"She told you," the rattan spirit said.
"Yes, she said she wanted to follow me. You," the rattan spirit said, "just agree to follow me, and I'll let you leave here completely unburdened."
"What are you planning to do?" the wolf demon feigned ignorance.
"I'm planning..." the rattan spirit paused intentionally and continued, "Guess."
"If you don't say it, then forget it," the wolf demon said and lay down again.
The rattan spirit floated above him and said, "Don't you want me to help you?"
"I can't guess what you're thinking, and you're asking me to guess? Isn't that making things difficult for me?" the wolf demon asked.
The rattan spirit laughed, "So you agree?"
"Yes," the wolf demon agreed, his hands clenching into fists without him realizing it.
"Good, watch," the rattan spirit said, and the chain began to emit a dazzling green mist. Then, a mist floated over to the sofa.
The wolf demon frowned, sat up again, and looked at the person gradually appearing with the mist, exclaiming, "This is a person?"
"Wrong, it's a demon who has cultivated into a human," the rattan spirit corrected.
