Chapter 160 A Promise to Protect

Yin Cha swallowed, feeling the yin and demonic energy emanating from the study, and said, "Um, Mu Anxiao, you go."

"No," Mu Anxiao refused wholeheartedly and took half a step back.

"Are you a Yin Cha?" the man in the pale blue robe asked Yin Cha.

Yin Cha blinked, looking up at the dark sky and said, "Looking at the sky, the wolf demon's inner strength is increasing. I think I should go and see him now."

"What if these demon souls are going to become the wolf demon's subordinates?" the man in the pale blue robe asked helplessly.

Upon hearing the man in the pale blue robe's words, Yin Cha's face showed hesitation.

Seeing Yin Cha's expression, Mu Anxiao shivered and asked, "May I ask what means you used to get to where you are today?"

"What do you mean by that?" Yin Cha glared at Mu Anxiao.

Mu Anxiao rolled his eyes, "It's obvious. You're such a timid Yin Cha, afraid even of demon souls. You say, if you didn't rely on some tricks, you wouldn't have reached this position, right?"

"I was forced," Yin Cha shouted excitedly.

Mu Anxiao was startled by Yin Cha's fervent exclamation and said, "Oh, you were forced, then you come and force me. What kind of ghost are you?"

"I was originally supposed to collect souls, but because the people here..."

"You're not human," Mu Anxiao deliberately picked on his words.

Yin Cha clicked his tongue, "But because there aren't enough Yin Chas here, we drew straws, and I lost, so I came over."

"You're really unlucky," Mu Anxiao said, looking Yin Cha up and down.

"Yes," Yin Cha agreed.

Mu Anxiao raised his eyebrows, "I knew I was bound to be unlucky sooner or later. It seems I've caught it from you. After this, please stay away from me. Thank you."

"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

Mu Anxiao snorted, "I thought you were quite formidable at first. Turns out, you're just a bullied little Yin Cha. Now, I'm relieved."

"You..."

"Don't you," Mu Anxiao pointed at Yin Cha, pretending to adjust his sleeve bound with a cloth strip, and said, "I'll be back soon."

"You're going?" the man in the pale blue robe asked in surprise.

"Otherwise," Mu Anxiao glanced at Yin Cha with a smug look, "This coward is already a ghost. If he gets scared to death again, what will he become? So, I, this young master, will protect you." He patted his chest.

Yin Cha deeply felt his dignity was being trampled on, but given the situation, he temporarily accepted the title of coward.

"I have no words to refute what you just said," the man in the pale blue robe chuckled.

"Then don't speak," Mu Anxiao said, then turned to Yin Cha and held out his hand, "Give me the weapon for catching demon souls."

"Okay," Yin Cha hurriedly agreed, took out a silver rope and a small jade gourd from his embrace, and handed them to Mu Anxiao.

Mu Anxiao took the weapons and asked confusedly, "What are these for?" He raised the small jade gourd.

"To capture demons. Don't underestimate it; it can hold over ten demons," Yin Cha pointed at the small jade gourd.

"What if there are dozens?"

"Impossible, there are very few monsters within hundreds of miles," Yin Cha asserted.

"I'll take your word for it," Mu Anxiao pointed at Yin Cha, took a deep breath, and walked towards the study.

The man in the pale blue robe leaned forward, watching Mu Anxiao's retreating back, and swallowed. He quietly asked, "Are you lying to her?"

"What am I lying to her about?" Yin Cha asked, staring at Mu Anxiao's back.
