When the wind blew, he thought Mu Anxiao would just say a few words and stop. Now it seemed he was wrong.
"Don't cause trouble," he said.
"A soft persimmon isn't meant to be squeezed at will; I'm not Hu Yuan," Mu Anxiao's eyes were filled with only coldness.
Seeing Mu Anxiao's terrifying gaze, the second girl instantly cowered. "We just came to say a few words to you. You don't need to take it so seriously." As she spoke, she glanced at Mu Anxiao's arm.
The third girl also looked at Mu Anxiao and said, "We were just trying to scare you a little. Why do you have to be so serious?"
Mu Anxiao glanced at the two of them and said, "You've been targeting me since this morning. When you bully me like this, have you ever considered my feelings?"
"We didn't, but now..."
Before the second girl could finish her sentence, Mu Anxiao replied indifferently, "Stop the nonsense and leave quickly."
"Understood." The second girl agreed, turned, and left with the third girl.
Mu Anxiao sighed and lowered his rolled-up sleeves.
"Those two girls are really bullies who pick on the weak," Feng Qishi said with a smile.
"I'm going to find the wolf demon now. Don't follow me," Mu Anxiao said, pointing at Feng Qishi's face.
Feng Qishi calmly glanced at Mu Anxiao's finger and said, "If you go looking for him blindly like this, you'll only end up frustrated."
"What do you know?" Mu Anxiao was surprised.
"Hu Yuan, that kid, is often bullied by girls too. I've seen that before. Of course, the matters between them seem quite messy and difficult to manage, in my opinion," Feng Qishi shook his head inζζ ¨.
"How is it messy?" Mu Anxiao asked.
"Think about it, Hu Yuan, a sickly person, and I, also a sickly person. Why am I not bullied, yet he is always targeted? There must be something wrong with this. Furthermore, the wolf demon has attached itself to Hu Yuan's body, and Hu Yuan accepted it. Just based on this, think about why Hu Yuan is so afraid of that girl," Feng Qishi crossed his arms in front of him. "I think the story behind this must be quite interesting."
"Zhang Yan seems to know that girl at the next table," Mu Anxiao said faintly.
Upon hearing this, Feng Qishi suddenly seemed to remember something and said excitedly, "Right, Zhang Yan's room seems to have a photo, of three people, him and two little girls."
"Two little girls, why not one?" Mu Anxiao asked.
"How would I know? Let's go back and take a look now," Feng Qishi suggested.
Mu Anxiao lowered his eyes and thought, "Alright, it's no use for me to find the wolf demon now." As he was about to leave, a scream suddenly came from not far away.
Upon hearing the sound, Mu Anxiao and Feng Qishi were startled in unison. Feng Qishi said, "From what I know of you, you'll definitely meddle and go take a look."
Mu Anxiao glanced at Feng Qishi, who had guessed his thoughts, and without a word, turned and ran in the direction of the scream.
In the blink of an eye, Mu Anxiao stopped at an alley entrance and stared wide-eyed at Ma Yan, who was standing with her back to him. "What did you do?" she asked, rushing forward, bypassing Ma Yan, and looking down at Hu Yuan, who was lying on the ground.
Feng Qishi stopped at the alley entrance, peered into the situation, and muttered, "That's strange. It was clearly a girl's scream just now, so why is a guy the one who fainted?"
"Ma Yan."
Feng Qishi heard this, turned, and looked at Zhang Yan, who was no longer hidden. "You're here."
Zhang Yan completely ignored Feng Qishi, strode to Ma Yan's side, and said, "Ma Yan, are you alright?"
Ma Yan turned to look at Zhang Yan, pouted, and began to cry. "Grandpa, he's dead," she said, pointing at Hu Yuan.
Mu Anxiao squatted beside Hu Yuan and said, "He's not dead, just fainted."
"He..."
As Ma Yan uttered just one word, the wolf demon floated out of Hu Yuan's body. Then, Mu Anxiao looked up at the wolf demon's ferocious expression and asked, "Why did you come out?"
Ma Yan screamed.
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao tilted his head to look at Ma Yan's expression, then looked up at the wolf demon again and asked, "Did you open her demon eyes?"
At the alley entrance, Feng Qishi looked at the scene before him with confusion, muttering, "What the heck is a demon eye?" As he spoke, he glanced at his eyeballs and pressed himself tightly against the wall.
The wolf demon grinned mischievously. "Yes, she's always chasing me and always saying things that anger me. You know, I am a demon soul, and I love resentment the most. As soon as resentment comes, I have to accept it. If I don't accept it, I'll feel uncomfortable."
"You've converted resentment into your magic," Mu Anxiao said.
The wolf demon smiled. "Not bad, you're really smart."
"Can't you stop causing me trouble?" Mu Anxiao stood up and said.
"Next, her life belongs to me," the wolf demon said, opening its wolf claws and lunging towards Ma Yan.
Seeing this, Zhang Yan quickly turned and blocked in front of Ma Yan. Then, the wolf claws pierced through his body, and his eyes widened sharply.
Mu Anxiao had thought the wolf demon wouldn't dare, but seeing the wolf claws penetrate Zhang Yan's body, she was shocked.
"Ah?" Feng Qishi exclaimed. "Zhang Yan, he's not going to die, is he?"
The wolf demon didn't expect Zhang Yan to block him, so it hurriedly retracted its wolf claws, floated back a few steps, and said, "You're really something."
Zhang Yan's body lurched forward violently, and then several beams of light flew out from his body.
"Are you alright?" Mu Anxiao asked.
Zhang Yan clutched his chest, shook his head, and turned to the wolf demon. "I told you, if you dare to hurt her, I will not be polite to you." As he spoke, he spread his hand and produced a purple fire artifact.
Mu Anxiao was startled and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Since you don't want to take him, leave him to me," Zhang Yan said, starting to cast spells on the purple fire.
The wolf demon looked up and smiled. Just as it was about to make a move, Mu Anxiao shouted, "This thing is specifically for demon souls like you. If you go head-to-head with him, you'll die."
"Eh?" The wolf demon was startled.
"Hurry back," Mu Anxiao warned.
The wolf demon, hearing Mu Anxiao's reminder, re-entered Hu Yuan's body without hesitation.
Mu Anxiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Yan looked at Mu Anxiao with hostility. "You're siding with him."
"I..." Mu Anxiao glanced at the unconscious Hu Yuan, took two steps forward, and said, "The wolf demon and Hu Yuan's souls have merged. If you really make a move, Hu Yuan will be affected."
"That's his own fault. Who told him to cooperate with a wolf demon?" Zhang Yan withdrew the purple fire.
Mu Anxiao snorted and snapped his fingers at Ma Yan, who was still in a state of shock. Ma Yan slowly fell to the ground and fainted.
"What is your relationship with her?" Mu Anxiao asked, pointing at Ma Yan.
Zhang Yan's eyes sank. He turned his head to look at Ma Yan, who was lying on the ground, and said, "She's my friend's granddaughter. I promised my friend I would protect her."
