Mu Anxiao and Jia arrived outside Feng Qishi's room in a blink of an eye. Bing'er was already asleep. Feng Qishi stood by the bed, looking down at Bing'er's face, and sighed. He turned to the woman and asked, "What did Mu Xiao say to you?"
The woman's eyes darted away. She glanced at the sickly Bing'er and then thought of her promise with Mu Anxiao, as well as the relationship between Feng Qishi and Mu Anxiao. She hesitated, wondering whether to speak.
At the door, Mu Anxiao worried that the woman would tell Feng Qishi what they had discussed. Without thinking, she stepped over the threshold and entered. "She doesn't know anything. It's useless to ask her." As she spoke, she gracefully walked towards Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi shifted his gaze to Mu Anxiao's face. "..."
Jia hid outside the door, afraid to go in.
The woman turned to look at Mu Anxiao and then, from Mu Anxiao's words, understood that Mu Anxiao did not want Feng Qishi to know about this matter.
She pursed her lips and, like Feng Qishi, fixed her gaze on Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao stopped and looked down at Bing'er, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, then looked at Feng Qishi. "Her illness is quite serious."
"You..."
"Don't you 'you' me. You promised me," Mu Anxiao said, extending her hands, which were bound by a spell, to Feng Qishi.
Seeing this, Feng Qishi frowned slightly.
Mu Anxiao: "Untie me, and I'll be back before dawn."
"She... you..."
"This child doesn't understand anything, Shen Moyun," Mu Anxiao interrupted, staring at Feng Qishi with determination. "Don't waste any more time, please."
"Can you really save her?" Feng Qishi suddenly asked.
Mu Anxiao knew that Feng Qishi would not just watch Bing'er die. So, when she came over, she had already made up her mind to get straight to the point and not waste words.
As she had expected, Feng Qishi was moved.
"When have I ever lied to anyone?"
"You..." Feng Qishi uttered a word and looked down at Mu Anxiao's hands. "You're not angry with me?"
"I'm used to it. Hurry up and untie me," Mu Anxiao said. She understood that Feng Qishi was a loyal person, so she wasn't that angry anymore.
Furthermore, she believed that the mission was the most important thing right now. As for what Feng Qishi thought, she didn't care.
In short, as long as he wasn't implicated, it was fine.
"..." Feng Qishi was persuaded by Mu Anxiao's attitude and words. He quickly cast a spell on her wrist.
Instantly, the beam of light disappeared, and Mu Anxiao was freed.
The woman: "You can go now."
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao looked at the woman and, remembering Bing'er's strong accusation of her being a liar not long ago, said faintly, "I thought you didn't believe me anymore."
"I believe you," the woman said, still firm.
Mu Anxiao had expected to use some means on the woman to make her believe her words. She hadn't expected... the woman wasn't fickle.
Looking at her, Mu Anxiao smiled. "That's good. As long as you believe me, everything is easy to handle."
The woman smiled and looked at Feng Qishi. "Could you please... take good care of her? Her father will be back soon."
"Mm," Feng Qishi nodded.
Then, the woman smiled at Feng Qishi again and turned to leave first.
Seeing this, Mu Anxiao followed the woman without even glancing at Feng Qishi.
Immediately after, Feng Qishi watched Mu Anxiao's retreating back as she was about to leave the room and quickly said, "Mu Xiao, be careful."
Mu Anxiao stopped upon hearing this and turned to look at Feng Qishi. "I know, you don't need to tell me." After saying that, she deliberately glanced towards Bing'er and left.
Jia intentionally concealed himself the moment the woman went out.
In a blink of an eye.
Mu Anxiao followed the woman and appeared in a dark, eerie forest. Jia followed beside Mu Anxiao, invisible, and looked around. "Are you sure... they are really here? She didn't lie to you, did she?"
Mu Anxiao heard Jia's question, then also looked around the surroundings. She glanced at the woman's back and asked, "What is this place?"
The woman: "They are right here." As she spoke, she turned to look at Mu Anxiao, her eyes glowing red.
Mu Anxiao saw this and deliberately took a step back, saying, "What's wrong with your eyes?"
"I get like this whenever I come here," the woman said, taking a half-step forward. "Don't be afraid."
"I'm not afraid, I just find it... strange." Mu Anxiao concealed her inner unease, looked left and right, and asked, "You're not going to look for them, are you?"
"Mm."
"You're really going to look for them?" Mu Anxiao had only guessed, but who knew the woman would respond like this. Hearing this, she couldn't help but feel surprised.
The woman: "Those three fairies all obtained that ointment outside the mansion. I only heard from Bing'er's father that it was in the forest, and I only know this forest, so I... brought you here." As she finished speaking, her eyes were filled with caution.
Fear is contagious, especially in a place like this...
At this moment, after the gust of cold wind, Mu Anxiao's body gradually lost its warmth, especially her hands. "Do you know their current situation?" she asked, clenching her fists slightly.
"Situation..." the woman repeated, her eyes flickering. "I don't know."
"You don't know?"
"Mm," the woman nodded. Her entire demeanor had changed completely from when she was at the mansion. Now, she looked both timid and scared.
Looking at the woman like this, Mu Anxiao couldn't help but feel a trace of uncertainty. "Can you really find..."
"Mu Anxiao, behind you," Jia suddenly interrupted.
Mu Anxiao's eyes widened. She quickly turned around and saw... three women dressed in dresses of different colors. They were walking towards them. Each of them held a lantern. The light from the lanterns flickered, but because there were three lanterns, the surroundings were illuminated.
"..." She observed them.
Seeing this, the woman quickly stepped forward and hid behind Mu Anxiao. "It's them." She grabbed Mu Anxiao's arm.
Mu Anxiao's body stiffened. She tilted her head slightly to look at the woman, who exuded fear from head to toe, and asked, "What's wrong with you? Do something but dare not admit it?"
"..." The woman cautiously glanced at Mu Anxiao and lowered her head.
At the same time, the woman in the red dress stopped and looked at Mu Anxiao. "You are not a demon, she is a demon."
Upon hearing this, Mu Anxiao turned to look at the woman in the red dress who spoke first and said, "I am indeed not a demon, you..."
"This is our territory. Leave quickly, or don't blame us for being impolite."
"Are... you alright?" Mu Anxiao asked cautiously.
The woman in the red dress narrowed her eyes. "What do you mean by that? You..." As she asked, her eyes suddenly widened. "You smell... the scent of that ointment?"
Hearing the woman's words, which were both normal and abnormal, Mu Anxiao swallowed hard. "I smelled it." She felt that telling the truth was better.
The woman tightened her grip on Mu Anxiao's arm.
The woman in the blue dress stepped forward and shone her lantern towards Mu Anxiao and the others. "It's not them."
"It's not them," the woman in the pink dress also said.
Mu Anxiao's expression froze. She turned to look at the woman. "..."
The woman lowered her head, losing the courage to meet Mu Anxiao's gaze.
