Feng Yan glanced at the textbook in the young man's hand and said, "Let's study later. Have you eaten?"
"No," the young man shook his head.
"Then let's eat together," Feng Yan said, raising his breakfast.
"Okay," the young man agreed without politeness.
Feng Qishi glared speechlessly at the young man.
Meanwhile, Mu Anxiao stopped outside Hu Yuan's hospital room.
"Go in," the big, fat demon whispered.
Mu Anxiao nodded, took a deep breath, and stepped into the room where only Hu Yuan was present. "Why are you hospitalized, wolf demon?" she asked.
Hearing her, the wolf demon turned over and looked at Mu Anxiao, who had stopped by the bedside. "Who told you I was hospitalized?"
"Never mind that. You were so arrogant yesterday, and today you're like this," Mu Anxiao bent over and supported the wolf demon's shoulder. "Your energy is depleting too quickly."
"What does my fast or slow energy depletion have to do with you?" the wolf demon said coldly.
"It has nothing to do with me, but I care about Hu Yuan's life and death," Mu Anxiao replied, equally coldly.
"Don't worry, I won't let Hu Yuan die completely, because then," the wolf demon said, sitting up, "it would be of no benefit to me."
"It seems," Mu Anxiao's lips curled, "that Hu Yuan hasn't handed over his body to you yet."
"Yes," the wolf demon seemed unconcerned by Mu Anxiao's words.
Mu Anxiao looked at the wolf demon's expression and his slightly flushed face. "You look quite healthy. I don't know why you're occupying a hospital bed here?"
"Hu Yuan's mother forced me to come," the wolf demon spread his hands. "There's nothing I can do."
"You're truly filial," Mu Anxiao said.
The wolf demon looked up at Mu Anxiao, who had been giving him a cold shoulder since she entered. "No, you came to see me instead of Feng Qishi. Aren't you afraid Feng Qishi will be angry?"
"You really know how to pick a topic," Mu Anxiao said, seating herself by the wolf demon's bed.
The wolf demon stared directly into Mu Anxiao's eyes. "Oh, your body looks very weak. If I'm not mistaken," he leaned in, intentionally getting closer to Mu Anxiao, "your immortal arts... no, I should say... that spiritual energy that doesn't belong to you is slowly draining from your body. Oh dear, this spiritual energy is very difficult to cultivate. Without it, you're a genuine waste, Mu Anxiao." He finished with a mocking expression.
"A waste is still better than you being bodiless," Mu Anxiao said coldly.
"But my demon soul has my own demonic energy, and I can start all over again. But you," the wolf demon laughed, "were originally just a mortal. You mortal, through an opportunity I orchestrated, drank immortal blood and became something that is neither human nor immortal... oh, no, you should be called an immortal who doesn't die."
"I am an immortal who doesn't die, I don't harm people, I am an immortal who doesn't die, I won't be chased, but you," Mu Anxiao widened her eyes, "what are you? A small wolf cub that hasn't grown, or a wolfdog, or a failed demon."
"You can't provoke me," the wolf demon said with a smile.
"I know I can't provoke you. You," Mu Anxiao pointed at the wolf demon's face, "can't provoke me either."
"If I hadn't provoked you, you wouldn't have retorted," the wolf demon said faintly.
Mu Anxiao let out a light scoff and stood up.
"Yes, I am very angry. If you have the ability, come out," she said coldly.
"What do you want to do?" the wolf demon asked with interest, watching Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao's lips curled. "You called me a waste, didn't you? Well, this waste wants to have a good spar with you to see who is stronger, me, this waste, or you, this wolf cub that can't form into a demon."
"Can I say you're struggling?" the wolf demon retorted.
Mu Anxiao smiled. "Say whatever you want. Let's go," she said, pointing a thumb towards the hospital room door.
The wolf demon peeked in the direction Mu Anxiao pointed and said, "Let's forget it. If I fight with you, a waste like you, it's better if you're alive. If you die, those below will lock onto me immediately. At that time," he said, "it will all be trouble."
"You're scared," Mu Anxiao said, intentionally provoking the wolf demon.
The wolf demon twisted his mouth. "Scared, not really, it's just..."
"You are scared," Mu Anxiao interrupted sharply.
The wolf demon didn't get angry, but became even calmer. "Whether I'm scared or not isn't for you to decide. Right now, I just want to rest well, because Hu Yuan needs to rest." Saying this, he lay down.
Mu Anxiao frowned tightly. "I want to spar with you, quickly..."
"Your immortal arts are draining. If you want to cast spells, it will be very difficult, especially invisibility. Do you think you can do it now? Of course," the wolf demon looked up at Mu Anxiao's slightly changed expression, "if you let me spar with you, it's okay, but at that time, all those humans will see it. How will you explain it? Will you erase their memories again?"
"You..."
"Alright, immortal who doesn't die, go eat quickly, lest you die here," the wolf demon said coldly.
"I'm not leaving," Mu Anxiao stepped forward.
"The immortal who doesn't die is so stubborn," the wolf demon laughed.
Mu Anxiao looked down at the wolf demon's mocking expression. "Wolf cub, don't be too arrogant."
The wolf demon calmly said "Mm" and closed his eyes.
Following this, Hu Yuan's mother walked in. "Oh, is that you?"
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao glanced sideways, bent over to tuck the wolf demon in, and said, "I came to see him." Then, she turned to look at Hu Yuan's mother.
The wolf demon's lips curved upwards slightly.
Hu Yuan's mother smiled. "You've been so thoughtful. Um, how did you know Yuan Yuan was hospitalized?"
"Oh, I assume you've heard about what happened yesterday," Mu Anxiao said.
"What happened?" Hu Yuan's mother asked in surprise.
Mu Anxiao smiled faintly. "Since you don't know, then I won't say anything. Um, I'll be going now."
"Okay, thank you for visiting Yuan Yuan," Hu Yuan's mother said with a smile.
Mu Anxiao smiled, bypassed Hu Yuan's mother, and left.
Then, Hu Yuan's mother walked to the bedside, looked down at the wolf demon, who had opened his eyes, and asked, "Yuan Yuan, how did your friend know you were hospitalized?"
"She has a friend whose sister is hospitalized. It was probably that friend who told her," the wolf demon said faintly.
Hu Yuan's mother said "Oh" and bent down to feel the wolf demon's forehead, sighing with relief. "You're finally not running a fever."
"Don't work too hard," the wolf demon said.
"It's fine," Hu Yuan's mother shook her head and straightened up.
The wolf demon smiled and thought, Why are you suddenly concerned about your mother?
Inside the body, Hu Yuan watched his mother busy herself outside. "No matter what, she's the one who gave birth to me and raised me. I, a soul destined to die, should repay her."
