Xu Lanyan hadn't expected Mu Anxiao to be so difficult to handle after fifty years, especially meeting her scrutinizing gaze, which made him feel utterly guilty.
"You can hide from the fifteenth day, but not the thirty," he glanced at Hei Feng beside him. "You should just say it."
Hei Feng continued to force two dry laughs, looking at Mu Anxiao. "Yes, he got away from me."
"That's all you're capable of," Mu Anxiao said, glaring fiercely at Hei Feng.
Hei Feng lowered his eyelids and grumbled, "I also didn't expect that guy could touch things from the underworld, and even break the bonds of the silver rope. All of this was beyond my expectations."
"Then how do we settle the silver?" Mu Anxiao asked, crossing her arms.
Hei Feng said sheepishly, "Talking about money hurts our feelings."
"I had intended to earn something from that little demon soul today," Mu Anxiao looked at Hei Feng's aggrieved expression, turned her face away, and tutted. She then looked back and said, "Fine, I won't hold it against you now. Just give me the money. Remember, not spirit money, but mortal silver."
"I haven't exchanged my spirit money for mortal silver yet, you'll have to wait," Hei Feng said with a grin.
Mu Anxiao said with a cold face, "Can you stop smiling? I wanted to say something to you earlier. Today is Shen Yan's burial day. Why are you smiling?"
Hei Feng immediately stopped smiling upon hearing Mu Anxiao's words.
Mu Anxiao placed one hand on her hip, looking at Hei Feng's expression. "In any case, I don't care. You let that little demon soul escape. I'll come find you in a few days, and you'll give me the silver."
"Where are you going now?" Xu Lanyan asked urgently.
Mu Anxiao looked at Xu Lanyan and said, "Shen Yan's matter is resolved, so of course, I'm returning to my own life."
Xu Lanyan asked without hesitation, "Do you want to give up your immortal position?"
"Immortal position?" Mu Anxiao repeated, thinking about the attitude of the gods in heaven over the past fifty years, she shook her head. "Forget it, they won't accept me."
"Then..."
Before Xu Lanyan could even utter a word, Mu Anxiao spread her hand and produced the immortal book that had been with Shen Yan for so long. "This is what Shen Yan asked me to return to you before he left."
Xu Lanyan pushed Mu Anxiao's hand. "I've already spoken to my master. This immortal book belongs to you from today onwards. You can write whatever you want in it."
"What do you mean?" Mu Anxiao was confused.
"This is your position: to continue writing this immortal book, compiling more secrets of achieving immortality and methods to break demonic arts," Xu Lanyan said calmly.
"I cannot accept it."
"Take it," Xu Lanyan said sternly.
Mu Anxiao had no choice but to temporarily take back the immortal book and said, "Oh, right, Shen Yan's book, it's with you, isn't it?"
"What?" Xu Lanyan feigned ignorance.
"I already know. That Immortal Fate Record was written by Shen Yan," Mu Anxiao said lightly.
"You know?" Xu Lanyan was startled again.
"Yes, can you give it to me?"
"No, that was left to me by Shen Yan," Xu Lanyan shook his head.
"Then, would an exchange be possible?" Mu Anxiao raised her chin.
"No," Xu Lanyan still shook his head.
"Stingy!" Mu Anxiao pointed at Xu Lanyan and said, "You'll give it to me someday." She turned and took two steps when a black mist suddenly lunged at her. She then stopped and said calmly, "Little demon soul, you've come."
"Don't you recognize me, Mu Anxiao?"
Mu Anxiao narrowed her eyes, remaining silent.
Immediately after, the little demon in black gradually appeared before Mu Anxiao. "Why aren't you speaking?"
