The next second, Mu Anxiao's eyes widened abruptly.
"What are you doing?" She was truly startled and turned to look at the Yin Messenger in a suit who quickly withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened.
"I didn't do anything!" The Yin Messenger in a suit deliberately avoided her gaze.
"You are so stupid," Mu Anxiao pointed at the Yin Messenger in a suit, her voice filled with agitation, and then said to Feng Qishi, "Search."
"Okay," Feng Qishi nodded and presented a circular disc.
The Yin Messenger in a suit looked at the nervous expressions on Feng Qishi and Mu Anxiao's faces and asked, "Do we really need to be this tense?"
"That guy escaped here from my time, what do you know?" Mu Anxiao said, quickly moving in front of Feng Qishi.
The Yin Messenger in a suit glanced at Mu Anxiao's anxious back, then looked at the subordinate watching him and said, "Little Boss, I think we've gotten ourselves into trouble."
"We have," the subordinate nodded.
A few minutes later...
Feng Qishi looked at the circular disc with a puzzled expression, as it remained silent and displayed no characters. "Why is it like this?"
"It's lost its effect," Mu Anxiao said, lowering her eyelids.
The wolf demon lay on the sofa, glancing at the vine spirit hidden in its neck, and closed its eyes.
At the same time, Mu Anxiao looked down at the wolf demon and said, "He will definitely go back with us."
"Let's hope so," Feng Qishi nodded.
"We didn't mean to," the subordinate tried to say in a coaxing tone.
The Yin Messenger in a suit glanced at the subordinate, then mimicked his pouting expression, "We really didn't mean to, we just wanted to find some tasks."
"We treated you as friends, and yet you've harmed us like this," Feng Qishi said, looking at the Yin Messenger in a suit and the subordinate.
"Stupid guys," Mu Anxiao said coldly, looking at Feng Qishi. "Since they are going to apprehend me according to the rules, I naturally cannot let them go either. Don't you agree?"
"Yes," Feng Qishi nodded.
Mu Anxiao glanced at them and said, "They're here."
The Yin Messenger in a suit looked at Mu Anxiao's expression, then looked down at the subordinate and said, "I'm really unlucky."
"Sorry," the subordinate pouted.
The next moment, several Yin Messengers in white robes appeared in front of them in perfect formation.
"Why is it you two again?" the Yin Messenger in white robes said with a helpless expression.
"We were just looking for trouble, but..." the subordinate looked up at Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao said, "They let the vine spirit go."
The Yin Messenger in a suit was surprised by Mu Anxiao's words and quickly said, "She didn't give it to me, so I had to come up with that plan."
"I told you, you shouldn't interfere in this matter," Mu Anxiao said.
"You..."
"Alright, she did say that," the subordinate tugged at the Yin Messenger in a suit's arm.
The Yin Messenger in a suit furrowed his brows and looked down at the subordinate, asking, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Forgot," the subordinate pursed his lips.
The Yin Messenger in a suit looked at the subordinate's pitiable appearance and said, "Forget it, I forgive you. At worst, I'll be punished with you."
"Thank you, brother," the subordinate said.
"You should have called me brother earlier," the Yin Messenger in a suit patted the subordinate's head.
"Alright, let's go, we await processing," the Yin Messenger in white robes said.
Immediately, the Yin Messenger in a suit and the subordinate nodded in unison and departed in their respective ways.
At the next moment, a hint of worry appeared on Mu Anxiao's face. "What if the vine spirit does something bad here?"
"There's nothing we can do," Feng Qishi shrugged.
The wolf demon coughed a few times.
Mu Anxiao glanced at the wolf demon, then looked at Feng Qishi and said, "Let's go, it's time for breakfast."
"Okay," Feng Qishi nodded.
Mu Anxiao walked forward, opened the door, and stepped out first.
Feng Qishi glanced at the wolf demon lying on the sofa, then walked through the door to follow Mu Anxiao without thinking too much.
"They've all left."
Hearing this, the wolf demon opened its eyes and looked at the vine spirit floating out from behind its neck, asking, "What do you want?"
"Your demonic energy is gone," the vine spirit said.
The wolf demon snorted, "I never had demonic energy to begin with. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to use the chihuahua and the scabby one."
"Your malevolent energy is also gone," the vine spirit said again.
"That was from my past life. I've already been punished, so everything has been reset. Therefore, your efforts towards me are in vain," the wolf demon said.
The vine spirit chuckled, "I never expected the famous wolf demon to become as useless as Mu Anxiao."
"Aren't you useless too?"
"I still possess demon arts," the vine spirit said proudly.
"Are you lonely?" the wolf demon suddenly asked.
The vine spirit's voice lowered slightly, "Why are you asking that?"
"The path of cultivation is very lonely, you seem," the wolf demon chuckled, "a bit unhinged."
"Lonely," the vine spirit repeated, its voice growing deeper. "I've been lonely since the day I became a demon, so I'm long accustomed to this feeling."
"I don't want to be lonely," the wolf demon said.
"Whether you want to or not is none of my business. You'd better not tell them I'm here," the vine spirit floated above the wolf demon's eyes, "otherwise, I'll make you pay."
"I'm too lazy to say anything," the wolf demon said.
"You just helped me," the vine spirit said.
The wolf demon curled its lips, "I don't want any association with you. Once we go back, just don't find me again."
"No wonder you helped me cover for me, you don't want me to pester you," the vine spirit realized.
"Yes, being pestered by a half-baked vine spirit like you is a hassle for me, so you'd better keep your promise, otherwise, once we go back," the wolf demon said, seizing the chain while the vine spirit was unsuspecting, "I'll tear you apart alive."
"You..."
"Your weakness is right here, don't think I don't know," the wolf demon interrupted.
The vine spirit's voice trembled slightly upon hearing this, "I understand, let me go."
"Hide well. They won't be able to find you here," the wolf demon said coldly.
The vine spirit gave a dry chuckle, then voluntarily entered the wolf demon's pocket.
The wolf demon smiled sinisterly and closed its eyes.
On the park path, Feng Qishi walked beside Mu Anxiao, not saying a word.
"Why are you so quiet?" Mu Anxiao asked softly.
Feng Qishi looked at the passersby and said, "Don't talk to me, it'll just cause trouble."
"You're afraid of spirits," Mu Anxiao said.
Feng Qishi wrinkled his nose and said, "Just shut up, will you? Stop talking."
"The little subordinate was just bored," Mu Anxiao said, glancing at a passing spirit child. "Others aren't as idle as him."
"Why would he harm you?" Feng Qishi asked.
Mu Anxiao shrugged, "When people are idle, they tend to overthink things, so those two guys were also overthinking."
