Feng Qishi hadn't expected Mu Anxiao to answer his question so seriously, and a strange weight settled in his heart. He said, "You're going back, and you can't go back on your word."
"Go back on what?" Mu Anxiao feigned ignorance.
Feng Qishi's brow furrowed, and he said, "You promised to be my master. When you go back, don't abandon me."
"I'm not that bored," Mu Anxiao replied, her eyes clearly avoiding his.
Feng Qishi looked at Mu Anxiao's profile and said, "I believe you can cultivate your own spiritual energy."
"Mhm," Mu Anxiao responded perfunctorily.
This time, Feng Qishi fell silent.
After a while, they arrived at a steamed bun shop. Mu Anxiao bought three buns and a cup of soy milk. Disregarding the curious glances of passersby, she asked, "Do you want any?"
Feng Qishi frowned, glancing at the onlookers whose attention had shifted to Mu Anxiao. "Uh, are you crazy?" he said.
Seeing Feng Qishi's anxious expression, Mu Anxiao didn't say another word and phased through him. "Let's go."
Feng Qishi glanced at the elderly women nearby who had started whispering about Mu Anxiao's behavior. He turned and said, "You'd better not talk to me. People think you're sick." As he spoke, he caught up with Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao said as she walked, "This is your last day here. Just think of yourself as a normal person."
"What do you mean?" Feng Qishi asked.
Mu Anxiao replied, "This is also a place where you've lived for over a decade. For your last day, you should live like a normal person." As she said this, she handed the buns to Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi looked down at the buns and chuckled, "Are you silly? I can't eat them."
"If you don't want them, fine," Mu Anxiao said, taking a bun and taking a bite.
Feng Qishi laughed, "You look like a lunatic."
"Yeah, say whatever you want," Mu Anxiao replied, thinking, This isn't just your last day here; it's also our last day together. So, I'll tolerate you.
"You're so easy to talk to, Mu the Fool," Feng Qishi said with a laugh.
Mu Anxiao, matching Feng Qishi's smile, chuckled and said, "Let's go to the amusement park later."
"Why would we go there?" Feng Qishi asked.
"To ride the roller coaster. I heard it's fun."
"Who told you that?" Feng Qishi inquired.
Mu Anxiao gestured to a couple who had just passed her. "They said they were going to the amusement park and that the roller coaster there is fun."
"Do you know what their relationship is?" Feng Qishi asked, looking at the backs of the couple.
Mu Anxiao replied, "Lovers, probably."
"You even know about lovers," Feng Qishi laughed. "Impressive."
"My capacity for acceptance is very strong. Just tell me, are you going or not?" Mu Anxiao tilted her chin.
Feng Qishi pondered for a moment. "Perhaps not. I can't ride anything."
"Just consider it accompanying me," Mu Anxiao said.
"Accompanying me..." Feng Qishi said, lowering his gaze and smiling, "You talking like this always feels strange to me."
"How is it strange?" Mu Anxiao furrowed her brow slightly.
"It feels... like we're on a date," Feng Qishi murmured.
Mu Anxiao paused for a moment. "What's a date?"
"It's the time couples spend together," Feng Qishi explained according to his understanding.
"Can only couples go on dates?" Mu Anxiao asked.
"It's possible, but... you and I, it just feels odd to me." Feng Qishi inexplicably became shy.
Mu Anxiao looked at Feng Qishi's slightly lowered eyelids with a blank expression. "How is it odd? People can be lovers because they like each other. We don't like each other." She pointed at Feng Qishi. "You are just my disciple, and I am just your master. In any case, this is your only chance. You'd better quickly get rid of that strange expression, or I'll go back on my word."
"I'll go," Feng Qishi declared resolutely.
"Remember this," Mu Anxiao said earnestly. "When we get back, I'll be very strict with you. There won't be any time for playing, and there won't be anything fun like this where I am. So, have fun today, and don't think about it when we return."
"There will be better things to do when we get back," Feng Qishi said.
Mu Anxiao sighed. "Whatever you say. As long as you're not disappointed when we return."
"I won't be," Feng Qishi shook his head with an innocent expression.
Mu Anxiao smiled slightly. "Alright, let's go."
Meanwhile, Mu Anxiao collected many unusual glances, but she didn't care.
On the contrary, Feng Qishi was truly angered by the impolite way most people were looking at Mu Anxiao. "What are those men and women looking at you like that for?"
"No..."
As Mu Anxiao uttered a single word, Feng Qishi flicked his finger towards a man and a woman. The straps of both their bags simultaneously snapped, and they fell to the ground, scattering the contents of their bags.
In an instant, everyone's attention shifted to those two.
Mu Anxiao watched Feng Qishi retract his finger. "You know this move too."
"You taught me well," Feng Qishi raised an eyebrow.
"Good, let's go," Mu Anxiao said, turning and walking alongside Feng Qishi towards the bus stop.
As they walked, Feng Qishi suddenly remembered the wolf demon. "Are you sure it's okay to just leave the wolf demon there?" he asked.
"What could be wrong?" Mu Anxiao replied.
Feng Qishi thought for a moment. "I feel like he'll be lonely if we just leave him there."
"He won't be," Mu Anxiao stated firmly.
"Do you think he'll go back to doing evil?" Feng Qishi asked again.
Mu Anxiao shook her head. "I don't know."
"You don't know..."
"Alright, we're going out to have fun. We can worry about these things later, it's not too late," Mu Anxiao said.
Hearing this, Feng Qishi nodded. "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Mu Anxiao remained silent.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the amusement park. After Mu Anxiao bought the tickets, she returned to Feng Qishi's side and said, "This is so convenient. I only had to buy one ticket."
Feng Qishi looked at the ticket in Mu Anxiao's hand. "Do you think I'll be able to ride the roller coaster later? The seatbelt won't hold me."
"You can ride the ones before the roller coaster," Mu Anxiao said.
Feng Qishi thought for a moment. "Do you mean you'll ride by yourself?"
"Yes. You can fly, so that counts as us being together," Mu Anxiao arranged.
Feng Qishi was speechless for a moment. "Alright, I guess."
"Okay, let's go," Mu Anxiao pointed at the entrance.
Feng Qishi smiled. "Let's go. This is actually my first time here."
"Didn't your parents bring you before?" Mu Anxiao asked as they walked.
Feng Qishi's eyes darkened. "We went other places, but never here. Even if I wanted to come, there was no one to accompany me." He gave a bitter smile.
"I'm sorry," Mu Anxiao said softly.
