Minutes later.
Mu Anxiao slowly opened her eyes, clenching her open palm into a fist.
The wolf demon asked, "How do you feel?"
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao turned her head to look at the wolf demon, who was even more excited than herself. Her eyes deepened as she said, "Much better."
"Much better..." The wolf demon saw the wrong expression on Mu Anxiao's face and frowned. "Why aren't you happy?"
"I understand now," Mu Anxiao said calmly.
The wolf demon was completely bewildered.
The vine demon looked bewildered, and the attendant demons each glanced at the two of them and asked, "What's wrong with you two?"
"Vine demon, turn around and walk fifty steps. I have something to say to him," Mu Anxiao said with gravity.
The wolf demon's eyes deepened.
The vine demon thought of Mu Anxiao's relationship with Ouyang Ye, so he didn't dare to say more. He turned and walked forward.
After the vine demon had walked a distance, Mu Anxiao looked down at her palm and asked, "Wolf demon, how did you know these things?" She asked earnestly, "Tell me."
The wolf demon smiled.
Conversely, Mu Anxiao became very serious. "These things are only in the immortal book..." Halfway through her sentence, her memory was awakened. "No," she paused.
The wolf demon, seeing this, asked doubtfully, "What's wrong with you?"
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao paused for a few seconds before remembering that Yue Ci had taken her immortal book. She clenched her fist and muttered, "Yue Ci." Then she looked at the wolf demon again and shook her head, "It's nothing." The matter had reached this point; no matter how angry she was, it would be of no use. Rather than being angry, it was better to accept reality.
"Do you really want to know why I know these things?" the wolf demon asked.
Mu Anxiao nodded.
"Because I knew that if I drank Shen Yan's immortal blood, it would have the opposite effect. And before that, I had to learn how to stabilize spiritual energy, so..." the wolf demon said frankly, "I learned those things. I didn't expect to teach them all to you."
"Is that so?" Mu Anxiao was disappointed.
"You're very disappointed," the wolf demon observed Mu Anxiao's emotions.
Mu Anxiao said, "I thought you, like my master..." Halfway through, she considered the explanation the wolf demon had given and shook her head, "It's fine. How will I control my spiritual energy from now on?"
"You don't need to control it," the wolf demon said nonchalantly. "But before that, you need to hide your spiritual energy, because the demons here can sense the existence of spiritual energy very easily, and it will be trouble for you."
"How do I do that?" Mu Anxiao asked.
"How did you sense spiritual energy?" the wolf demon asked in return.
Mu Anxiao suddenly realized, "Like that, I can hide it?" Mu Anxiao
"Yes, your spiritual energy already has a sense of belonging, so you are already one with it. Therefore, if you gently touch it, it will understand your intentions and hide itself. When you need it, just a touch, and it will return," the wolf demon explained in detail.
Mu Anxiao nodded and began to do as the wolf demon had instructed.
Not far away.
The vine demon stretched out his head to look at the faintly visible figures of Mu Anxiao and the wolf demon. He sighed and was about to mutter to himself when a voice came from behind him, "What kind of demon are you?"
Startled by the sound, the vine demon slowly turned his head to look behind him... and muttered, "Wang Hu." He froze.
At that moment, Xiao Yi, who was walking towards the vine demon with Wang Hu, answered for the vine demon, "He's a plant."
Beside them, Wang Hu listened to Xiao Yi's words and looked at the vine demon's frightened face, frowning. "..."
The vine demon had seen this Wang Hu when he was in the palace. The demons in Ouyang Ye's palace were all shadows for the vine demon, so at the moment he faced Wang Hu, the vine demon couldn't help but fall into fear. Then, driven by this fear, he swallowed his throat, turned, and ran.
Ahead, Mu Anxiao had succeeded.
The wolf demon reminded her, "Restarting is the same method." After saying that, he turned his head to look at the vine demon who was rushing towards them.
At the same time, Mu Anxiao also looked at the vine demon, "What are you doing?"
"The demon chasing you has arrived," the vine demon said, stopping breathlessly in front of Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao frowned and was about to ask when Wang Hu and Xiao Yi stopped in front of them. Mu Anxiao glanced at them and did not appear scared, but rather calm. "Who are you?" she asked.
The wolf demon glanced at Mu Anxiao and said nothing.
Following that, the vine demon hastily hid behind the wolf demon and Mu Anxiao.
Xiao Yi looked at Mu Anxiao and smiled faintly, "We wanted to ask something, and he ran off."
"You are the vine demon, aren't you?" Wang Hu directly exposed him.
The vine demon's body stiffened, and he bent down, hiding firmly behind the wolf demon.
"You know him?" Mu Anxiao ignored Xiao Yi and looked at Wang Hu.
At the same time, Wang Hu shifted his gaze to Mu Anxiao's face. "Who are you?" he asked, his eyes full of disdain for Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao disliked Wang Hu's attitude, so she deliberately raised her voice. "Who I am has nothing to do with you," she said, glancing at the wolf demon and the vine demon, "Make way for them."
"Yes." The wolf demon nodded and, taking the vine demon, moved aside.
Xiao Yi stared fixedly at Mu Anxiao's face.
Concurrently, Wang Hu noticed Xiao Yi's gaze. He then lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, and followed Xiao Yi's line of sight to Mu Anxiao, asking, "Xiao Yi, do you know who she is?"
Mu Anxiao remembered the vine demon's words, so the moment Wang Hu began to question Xiao Yi, her heart sank. However, even so... she remained outwardly calm. "..." She deliberately met Xiao Yi's eyes.
Then, Xiao Yi stared at Mu Anxiao for a few more seconds and shook her head, "I don't recognize her." After speaking, she looked at Wang Hu.
Wang Hu looked disappointed. "You don't know her, yet you stared at her for so long. I thought..." he said, glancing at Mu Anxiao, "I thought she was Mu Anxiao."
After Wang Hu said this, Mu Anxiao inadvertently dodged her gaze.
The vine demon tightened his grip on the wolf demon's belt.
The wolf demon looked down at the vine demon's cowardly demeanor and was speechless.
At the moment Wang Hu said this, Xiao Yi said, "Sorry."
"No, you don't need to apologize," Wang Hu said, placing one hand on his hip. He looked around and muttered, "That's strange. I clearly sensed spiritual energy just now, but why... it's gone all of a sudden." Then he shifted his gaze back to Mu Anxiao's face.
"Why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?" Mu Anxiao looked at Wang Hu with disdain, deliberately acting arrogant.
Then, Wang Hu walked forward, stared straight into Mu Anxiao's face, and asked, "Um... are you male or female?"
In the past, whenever Mu Anxiao wore beggar's clothes, people would question her gender. Wang Hu's question now brought back memories, so she smiled. "How about you be my little brother?" she said, patting Wang Hu vigorously on the shoulder.
