Just then, Rose suddenly moved to block Mi Feng, "From now on, you are not allowed to enter this courtyard."
"I haven't moved out yet, this is still my home. Why aren't you letting me in?" Mi Feng dared not be arrogant with Rose and spoke cautiously.
Rose said, "I am about to be married to the wolf demon, so I have started making arrangements. For you to enter," she lifted her chin, "what would that look like?"
"Rose, can't you stop being so absolute?" Mi Feng became somewhat angry.
In response, Rose, still not taking Mi Feng seriously, said, "It's not that I'm being too absolute, it's you who lacks discernment."
"You..."
"What about me? If you want to draw, go draw elsewhere. Don't let me see you, lest it affects my mood," Rose said impolitely.
All along, Rose had never taken Mi Feng seriously. Yet, even so, Mi Feng had never resented Rose. This was because he knew Rose was just throwing a spoiled tantrum. But, her reaction now had completely ignited his anger. It wasn't for any other reason than that he knew her anger towards him wasn't simply because she disliked him, but because of the wolf demon.
Therefore, the moment Rose uttered these words, his hatred for the wolf demon deepened. Clenching his fists, he didn't want to show his emotions, so he nodded, turned, and left.
Subsequently, Rose watched Mi Feng's obedient departure, then thought about the terrain he had just drawn on the paper, muttering, "This fellow is truly dreaming. With the meager silver he has, he wants to build a separate residence like mine." She snorted coldly, "A fool's dream." After speaking, she turned to look at the flower demons approaching them.
At the same time, Mi Feng was pulled aside by a man hiding behind a tree. "It seems he really dislikes you," he said, releasing his grip and leaning against the tree.
Mi Feng, already having been put in a difficult spot by the previous incident, couldn't bear it any longer upon hearing the man's words. "Is it fun for you to watch my predicament like this?" he fixed his gaze on the man's obscured face.
The man crossed his arms, "Not at all."
"Not at all, then don't stand there saying things that don't concern you," Mi Feng still didn't dare to offend the man. After muttering this, his expression changed again, "What are you doing here?"
"I was just walking along and saw you, then I watched the whole scene," the man replied truthfully.
Mi Feng sighed.
Seeing this, the man appeared confused, "Why are you sighing?"
"What else can I do? If drawing the terrain map of this courtyard is so difficult, let alone the cultivation demon land," Mi Feng became troubled, "Just thinking about it is difficult."
"You won't be able to finish it," the man inferred from Mi Feng's words.
"I can finish it, but... within an hour," Mi Feng pursed his lips, "that is truly difficult for me."
"Is that so?" the man said.
Mi Feng didn't understand the man's words and nodded foolishly, "Yes."
"If that is the case, then the wolf demon's life is not worth much," the man suddenly said.
"Not worth much? How is it not worth much?" Mi Feng didn't understand the man's intent.
The man knew his words hadn't made Mi Feng understand immediately, so he deliberately paused for a few seconds before saying, "I mean, if you finish drawing the terrain map within an hour, I will go and kill the wolf demon immediately. But now," he said, lowering his head, "you say this matter is very difficult to handle. Since that's the case, I won't kill the wolf demon either."
"You must kill him," Mi Feng suddenly became anxious.
"Then you do it..."
"I have a way, just wait for my news." Mi Feng turned around.
At the same time, the man reminded him, "A quarter of an hour has already passed."
"Wait for me outside the prison gate," Mi Feng said and ran off.
The man watched Mi Feng's suddenly determined retreating figure, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and he said, "It seems Mu Anxiao is going to lose." After speaking, he turned and disappeared.
At the prison...
Under the wolf demon's guidance, Mu Anxiao had completely learned the wall-passing technique. However, the moment she passed through the wall, she suddenly thought that this cultivation demon land, while not vast, was not small either. If she truly searched place by place, it would certainly be unrealistic.
Thus, with this thought, she returned.
Seeing Mu Anxiao return, the wolf demon was startled, "Why have you come back?"
Mu Anxiao looked thoughtful, "You say, searching place by place, isn't that too foolish?" she said, looking at the wolf demon.
The wolf demon thought for a moment and nodded, "It is a bit silly, and moreover, it might waste time."
"I think so too," Mu Anxiao said. Looking down, she saw Jiong Ye, who was still lying on the ground unconscious, and clicked her tongue, "Why don't I have him draw the terrain map for me? That way, I can also pinpoint a location to search." She propped her chin with one hand.
The wolf demon gave a dry laugh.
Hearing the sound, Mu Anxiao immediately raised her head to look at the inexplicably laughing wolf demon and asked, "What's wrong?"
"If you let him draw it, I'm afraid it will be too late," the wolf demon continued to laugh dryly.
Mu Anxiao felt the wolf demon made sense, but thinking of the man, she became anxious, "Then what do you suggest?"
"It is said that Xi'er's study has a ready-made terrain map. You can steal it," the wolf demon whispered.
Mu Anxiao's eyes lit up, "This is a good idea, but..." she suddenly looked troubled, "but where is the study?"
"The room next to Ouyang Ye's study is Xi'er's study," the wolf demon's voice became even quieter, fearing being overheard.
However, this did not impede Mu Anxiao's hearing. "Then I'll go now."
"With that outfit you're wearing, you might... be identified," the wolf demon pointed at Mu Anxiao's women's clothing.
Mu Anxiao heard this, looked down, and became troubled, "What should I do?"
"Don't tell me you don't know how to change your appearance?" the wolf demon said incredulously, as if the usually arrogant and domineering Mu Anxiao would not know such a simple demonic art.
"..." Mu Anxiao gave a silly laugh as if "ashamed of her inadequacy," saying, "This, I really don't know how to do."
"Then how did you usually change your appearance for missions?"
"Never mind the past, let's talk about now," Mu Anxiao touched the back of her head, "Feng Qi Shi always helped me."
"You really can't do without him," the wolf demon expressed his helplessness, pointing at Mu Anxiao's hand, "I will teach you this demonic art. Give me your hand."
"You are quite useful," Mu Anxiao said, obediently extending her hand.
"I was always useful," the wolf demon said as he took Mu Anxiao's hand.
Mu Anxiao chuckled softly, "Alright, I'll allow you to be narcissistic for a while."
"This is not narcissism," the wolf demon said, closing his eyes.
Mu Anxiao, seeing the wolf demon's serious concentration on casting the spell, said no more.
In the blink of an eye, with the wolf demon's help, Mu Anxiao changed into servant clothes.
Then, like an old sister-in-law, the wolf demon instructed, "If I call you back, you must return immediately. My life is connected to yours. Also, absolutely do not use spiritual energy, understand?"
"Understood, you're so verbose," Mu Anxiao said, adjusting her sleeves, and passed through the wall to leave.
