"Aow aow," the little wolf whimpered.
Mu Anxiao let out a cold snort, then called out a thank you to the sky. She stepped forward, looked down at the little wolf gazing up at her, swallowed, and squatted down to hit it hard on the head. "Why are you so much like a dog?"
The little wolf whimpered "aow aow" twice more. Then, a red light enveloped it, and the little wolf gradually became transparent, turning into a soul.
"You're quite something, Mu Anxiao," the Yin Messenger said as he collected the demon souls into the once again repaired small jade gourd and walked over.
For some reason, Mu Anxiao didn't feel happy at this moment. She said gloomily, "You can go. I'm going to see that guy." With that, she stood up.
"Mm, go ahead," the Yin Messenger nodded, then bent down to tie up the little wolf with a silver rope.
"You shouldn't go," the man in the light blue robe stepped forward and said.
"Why?" Mu Anxiao questioned.
"You stole his things. In other words, you betrayed him. What's the point of going now?" The man in the light blue robe said with a cold expression.
"Which eye of yours saw me stealing his things? You..."
The man in the light blue robe glared at Mu Anxiao and said, "I don't know when you stole it, but I'm certain it was you. The reason you're here is because you know the wolf demon took the item after you got it. Your approaching just now was clearly with intent."
"I..." Mu Anxiao was speechless. She pointed at the man in the light blue robe and asked, "Fine then, tell me, why are you so sure I stole it?"
"That woman just now said you stole it," the man in the light blue robe stated firmly.
Mu Anxiao sneered, "I won't argue with you. I'll talk to Shen Yan. He'll definitely believe me."
"Go ahead."
Mu Anxiao nodded, turned around, and rushed back outside the woodshed.
But just as she was about to enter, the man in the light blue robe appeared and stopped her. "Listen from outside. Don't go in."
"Why..."
"No reason," the man in the light blue robe said coldly.
Helpless, Mu Anxiao did not go in.
Inside the woodshed, Shen Yan was curled up on the ground, his forehead covered in sweat. The boy, about fifteen or sixteen, knelt beside him and asked, "Are you alright?"
Shen Yan slowly opened his eyes, and with the help of the boy, sat up. "It's over."
"Mm," the boy nodded, then looked up at the woman.
The woman looked down at Shen Yan and said seriously, "She stole your immortal medicine, then drank it."
"Do you have any proof?" Shen Yan asked, looking up and enduring the discomfort.
The woman nodded. "Mm, she told me you had immortal medicine and then asked me to deliberately push her towards you, to steal it, and then hand it over to me. She asked me to act with the wolf demon and drink it, that way, she could become immortal. She said you agreed to her becoming immortal."
As soon as Shen Yan heard the woman's words, his hatred for Mu Anxiao deepened considerably.
"Help me up," he suddenly said.
"Huh?" The boy, about fifteen or sixteen, was startled and bent down to help Shen Yan up.
"I don't want to see her. I never want to see her again. You," Shen Yan looked at the woman, "stay away from me too."
"Yes," the woman nodded, her heart filled with joy.
Outside the woodshed, Mu Anxiao's heart sank. Just as she wished she could go in and explain everything, the man in the light blue robe grabbed her arm. "If you go in, you'll only add to his inner pain."
"You... I didn't," Mu Anxiao said loudly.
