"Mm, I suspect," Mu Anxiao looked up at Feng Qishi and said, "he might not be able to hold back any longer."
"Hold back what?" Feng Qishi asked.
Mu Anxiao thought for a moment and said, "It's been several days, and your sister hasn't given her body to him. However, he can now control her at will. From this, I think your sister has completely lost hope for this world."
"Impossible! It must be that the Second Evil Spirit gave my sister some kind of bizarre poison. My sister is an optimistic person." Feng Qishi couldn't accept the thought of Feng Feng wanting to die.
"I think you..." Mu Anxiao swallowed the rest of her sentence and said, "Never mind, I'm not qualified to say this. In any case, I will do my best to save her."
"What do you mean, 'do your best'?"
Mu Anxiao hesitated and said, "If she willingly gives her body to the Second Evil Spirit, it means that the pain in her heart is deeper than you can imagine. If it truly comes to that, I advise you to accept it."
"I don't care. You must save her. I believe in you."
"Thank you for your trust, but..."
Before Mu Anxiao could finish speaking, Feng Qishi gently patted her shoulder, walked around her, and left.
Mu Anxiao hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Feng Qishi's retreating back, lowering her head in helplessness.
Shortly after, the dishes were served.
Mu Anxiao sat at the table, holding chopsticks, eating and thinking of ways to cope.
The wolf demon glanced at Feng Feng, who was eating opposite him, and said softly, "This isn't the Second Evil Spirit."
"How do you know?" Mu Anxiao slanted a look at the wolf demon.
The wolf demon held the chopsticks unskillfully and said, "Most of us demons don't use chopsticks. The girl opposite, she uses them so skillfully." He tilted his head towards Mu Anxiao. "Do you understand now?"
"He's inside her?" Mu Anxiao asked.
The wolf demon nodded.
"Can you go in?" Mu Anxiao suddenly asked.
The wolf demon frowned and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"Just go in and help find out his true intentions. Remember, don't hurt Feng Feng," Mu Anxiao said to herself.
"Sister," the wolf demon turned his head and stared directly at Mu Anxiao's profile, saying, "If I could get out, would I still need to cooperate with you?"
Mu Anxiao blinked her eyes, abandoning the idea of asking the wolf demon for help, and picked up her chopsticks to continue eating.
The wolf demon shifted his gaze from Mu Anxiao's face and ate meat with his bare hands.
"You don't know how to use chopsticks?" Feng Qishi asked, looking at the wolf demon directly taking meat from the plate.
The wolf demon, while gnawing, said, "No."
"You're so old, you can write but don't know how to use chopsticks? Who are you kidding?" Feng Qishi fixed his gaze on the wolf demon's face.
The wolf demon took a bite of meat, and while eating, looked up at Feng Qishi and said, "I'm eating my food. What business is it of yours?"
"The way you eat meat really affects me," Feng Qishi said, looking at the wolf demon's greasy hands with disgust.
Mu Anxiao casually pulled out a few tissues and handed them to the wolf demon. "Wipe your hands."
The wolf demon took the tissues, hesitated for a moment, then reached out and picked up the entire plate of meat. "I didn't touch anything else with my hands, only this. So," he placed the plate in front of himself, "this is mine."
"You..."
"You eat it," Mu Anxiao interrupted Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi was speechless. He glared at Mu Anxiao, then looked at Feng Feng, who was eating daintily, and said, "Feng Feng, tell brother, what's been going on with you lately?"
"Nothing," Feng Feng shook her head.
"You're fine, but how come I feel like something's wrong?" Feng Qishi paused and said, "If something's wrong, just tell brother, and brother will help you."
"Brother, I told you nothing's wrong, so nothing's wrong. Can you please stop asking?" Feng Feng said impatiently.
Mu Anxiao and the wolf demon exchanged glances and remained silent.
Feng Qishi sighed in resignation and continued eating.
Zhang Yan put a piece of meat into Feng Feng's bowl and said, "Eat well, you need to grow."
"Thank you," Feng Feng nodded.
Mu Anxiao cautiously watched Feng Feng pretend to be fine. She then looked at the wolf demon beside her and tried to communicate with the Second Evil Spirit inside her body: I know you're in there.
Inside Feng Feng's body, the Second Evil Spirit opened its eyes, looked at Mu Anxiao through Feng Feng, and said, "Ask me whatever you have to ask later."
Later, what does that mean?
"This girl has already agreed to give me her body. Naturally, from now on, I will be the one communicating with you," the Second Evil Spirit said directly.
Mu Anxiao frowned slightly. I won't let you succeed.
"Alright then, I'll be waiting for you," the Second Evil Spirit said, and then closed its eyes.
Mu Anxiao stopped communicating with him mentally and turned to look at the wolf demon who was wolfing down meat. She whispered, "You don't need to go back to this child's home, right?"
"This child has no one to look after her. What's wrong?" the wolf demon asked, his mouth smeared with oil.
"Come to her house with me today," Mu Anxiao said, deliberately tilting her face towards Feng Feng.
The wolf demon immediately understood Mu Anxiao's intention. "Okay, I get it."
Mu Anxiao remained silent.
As night fell, Mu Anxiao and the wolf demon appeared sneakily outside the Feng family's door.
Zhang Yan, hidden behind a nearby tree, watched the backs of Mu Anxiao and the wolf demon and said, "I really didn't expect them to cooperate." He then turned to look at the ready-to-go Yin messenger in a suit.
The Yin messenger in a suit crossed his arms and looked at the backs of Mu Anxiao and the wolf demon, a smirk on his lips. "Many things are unexpected. Perhaps after this is over, they'll be enemies again."
"Definitely, that's a wolf," Zhang Yan agreed.
"The time for the Second Evil Spirit to possess Feng Feng has passed," the Yin messenger in a suit said, holding the hourglass in his hand.
"You also gave Mu Anxiao an hourglass?" Zhang Yan asked.
The Yin messenger in a suit nodded and put the hourglass away.
Ahead, Mu Anxiao looked at the pointer on the circular disc pointing at the wolf demon and said, "Did you touch my things."
"No," the wolf demon averted his gaze.
"Say no again, did you use this to test your magic when we were eating?" Mu Anxiao said coldly.
"Look at what you're saying, I..."
Before the wolf demon could finish speaking, the Feng family's door was opened by Feng Qishi.
Immediately, Mu Anxiao and the wolf demon were startled and looked at Feng Qishi, who was staring at them, remaining silent.
Feng Qishi said helplessly, "You guys are too blatant."
"I just told her to hide further away, and she said your house was soundproof, so no one would hear," the wolf demon glanced at Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao looked at Feng Qishi in front of her without speaking and asked, "How did you know we were here?"
"I heard everything you said at the dinner table. If I'm not mistaken, it should be around this time," Feng Qishi said calmly.
Mu Anxiao nodded. "Then this proves that you didn't know we were coming at all, just a guess." She then glanced at the wolf demon beside her.
