Feng Qi Shi looked down at Mu An Xiao's panicked expression and couldn't help but frown. "What are you thinking about? Move aside." With that, he forcefully moved Mu An Xiao out of the way.
Mu An Xiao felt embarrassed.
Immediately after, Feng Qi Shi glanced at the awkwardly standing Mu An Xiao and said indifferently, "Stand further away, lest you get hurt."
Upon hearing this, Mu An Xiao looked at Feng Qi Shi with disdain and said, "As if you're that powerful." After speaking, she still retreated a few steps.
Seeing Mu An Xiao like this, Feng Qi Shi's lips curved into a slight smile.
Unexpectedly, his smile was caught by Mu An Xiao. "You smiled," she exclaimed in surprise.
Since they had met again, in Mu An Xiao's impression, he had never smiled. Every time he saw her, he acted as if she were his enemy. Therefore, his smile astonished her.
Feng Qi Shi said, "You saw wrong." As he spoke, his eyes darted away. He turned around and looked down at Amei.
Mu An Xiao saw that Feng Qi Shi wasn't moving and asked in confusion, "Why aren't you moving?"
"Will she wake up if I use the healing spell?"
"Yes, she will wake up if you use the healing spell." Mu An Xiao watched with anticipation.
Feng Qi Shi cleared his throat and slowly raised his hand. In that instant, images of his brothers crying out and begging for help flashed through his mind. He quickly tried to control his emotions.
Seeing this, Mu An Xiao frowned. "Don't think about that, Feng Qi Shi."
"Feng Qi Shi," Feng Qi Shi repeated his name aloud, his eyes brightening. "Yes, I am Feng Qi Shi. I must save her." As he spoke, those images vanished like smoke under his determined will.
Mu An Xiao smiled as she looked at Feng Qi Shi's determined back. "You can do it."
Feng Qi Shi: "..." He tilted his head and began to cast the spell.
Mu An Xiao clenched her fist. Before she could even feel nervous, she suddenly heard Zhao Xiang's malicious thoughts, 'Damn it, that dead girl destroyed the poisonous mist in Amei's body. How can I continue to control her? Do I have to continue controlling Shen Moyun?'
'Continue?' Mu An Xiao repeated the word in her mind, then looked at Feng Qi Shi's back. She thought about the name Zhao Xiang that he had spoken aloud. She mused, 'Continue, could it be that Zhao Xiang from way back...'
'Damn Zhao Xiang, how is his consciousness still here? Every time I want to do something, he interferes. How annoying.'
Zhao Xiang?
Mu An Xiao clearly heard Zhao Xiang's strange malicious thoughts, spoken one after another. She thought, 'He has a physical body, but he's a demon soul.' As she thought this, her eyes slowly widened. 'No, could it be that he possessed the real Zhao Xiang?'
At the same time, Feng Qi Shi withdrew his hand and looked down at Amei's face. He said, "Mu Shazi, it's done."
Mu Shazi?
Hearing Feng Qi Shi's sudden address, Mu An Xiao was startled. She then looked up at Feng Qi Shi and asked knowingly, "What did you call me?"
"Mu Shazi," Feng Qi Shi replied, turning to face Mu An Xiao. "I've figured it out. From now on, you should just call me by my real name. It's too strange between us, always like this."
"Are you alright?"
"Of course, I'm alright. I just thought of this. I've already told you about my situation. It would be too strange to continue talking to you with my nerves on edge. So," Feng Qi Shi walked in front of Mu An Xiao, "let's call it even."
After Mu An Xiao's "nonsense" guidance, Feng Qi Shi realized that his purpose in coming back was to become a better version of himself. He had become a general based on his own aspirations. He thought it would be too strange to insist on telling Mu An Xiao that he was Shen Moyun.
Most importantly, his original goal was to find Mu An Xiao and provide her with greater security. Who knew that he would be trapped by the shadows he had cast upon himself.
Thinking about it, he felt he was truly a cowardly person.
At this moment, he decided not to evade anymore. He decided to be a good general as Shen Moyun, protecting the citizens of this city. All of this was just to become a better Feng Qi Shi.
Mu An Xiao looked up at Feng Qi Shi's sudden moment of clarity and frowned. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine. Shake hands." Feng Qi Shi extended his hand.
Mu An Xiao's mind went blank. "Are you alright?" she said, but still took Feng Qi Shi's hand.
Feng Qi Shi smiled.
Mu An Xiao saw this, withdrew her hand, and said, "She's alright."
"Alright, let's go see."
"Okay, I..." Mu An Xiao's words trailed off as she suddenly frowned.
Feng Qi Shi saw this and asked confusedly, "What's wrong?"
"..." Without a word, Mu An Xiao turned her head towards the door and whispered, "Zhao Xiang is here."
"He's here again," Feng Qi Shi said, his brow furrowing slightly.
Mu An Xiao swallowed. "He's not here with the antidote again, is he?" As she spoke, she took a step forward, and a knock echoed from the door.
Feng Qi Shi glanced at Amei, who had been healed by his healing spell, then looked back towards the door and asked, "Who is it?" He was relieved that he had bolted the door earlier.
Zhao Xiang: "Moyun, open the door. I need to come in."
"Oh," Feng Qi Shi replied, glancing at Mu An Xiao. "I'm asleep."
"Don't be ridiculous. They're both still here. How can you be asleep? Hurry up and open the door," Zhao Xiang said calmly.
Mu An Xiao gave Feng Qi Shi, who insisted he was asleep, a speechless look. Then she pointed at the door. "I'll go." With that, she gracefully walked towards the door.
Outside.
The moment Zhao Xiang heard Mu An Xiao's voice, his expression soured. He thought, 'She's opening the door? Damn it, what am I supposed to do?'
Damn it? What to do?
Mu An Xiao clearly heard Zhao Xiang's malicious thoughts and stopped at the door. She asked, "Do you want me to open the door for you?"
Zhao Xiang stared at the door and said dismissively, "You dead girl, this is Moyun's room, not yours. Open the door quickly."
"I won't."
"You won't..." Zhao Xiang repeated, frowning and exaggerating. "You dead girl, what did you do to Moyun? Let him go quickly. If you dare lay a hand on Moyun, I won't let you off."
Zhao Xiang's hypocritical attitude disgusted Mu An Xiao. She raised her hand to her chest and couldn't help but gag. "Even Shen Moyun would find it disgusting if you cared about him like this."
Hearing Mu An Xiao's words, Feng Qi Shi sighed helplessly.
Zhao Xiang became unhappy. "Did I speak to you? Speak," he said nervously. "Did you stuff Moyun's mouth with a rag?"
"I don't have that kind of ability," Mu An Xiao replied, glancing at Feng Qi Shi, then back at the door. "Give me the password, and I'll open the door."
