Mu Anxiao sat on the sofa, sighing, and looked down at her palm, thinking: I've been living by magic for so many years, and it's been so long since I've been ordinary. Perhaps this is my punishment. As she thought, she glanced at the soul child emerging from the ground and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Half a month might be too long," the soul child said, standing on the ground.
"Then what should we do?" Mu Anxiao asked coldly.
The soul child thought for a moment, then spread its hands and conjured a red pill, handing it to Mu Anxiao. "Take this, and your injuries will heal faster."
"I can't accept it," Mu Anxiao shook her head.
"Down there, it's considered an occupational injury, and there's nothing else they can give you. This is considered compensation. During this time, you need to find a way to capture those two evil souls," the soul child said in an adult's tone.
Mu Anxiao looked at the soul child's serious expression and thought of the cunning appearance of the second evil soul. She reached out, took the red pill, and swallowed it, saying, "You're right, we can't delay any longer."
In the kitchen, Zhang Yan heard the commotion outside and hurried out to look at Mu Anxiao's mouth. Then he looked at the soul child and asked, "What did you give her?"
"Medicine for healing," the soul child said.
Zhang Yan frowned and quickly walked to Mu Anxiao's side, bent down, took her wrist, and felt her pulse, saying, "This isn't from around here, is it?"
"You figured it out," the soul child smiled.
Mu Anxiao watched as Zhang Yan released her hand and asked, "It's not from below?"
"No, it was given by your master."
"He's here?" Mu Anxiao asked eagerly.
"No, he just used a method to send it over, but I can't tell you how," the soul child said mysteriously. "Of course, this way you won't have to fear that purple fire, because this pill is its bane." After saying that, he disappeared.
Mu Anxiao savored the bitterness in her mouth and asked, "How long will it take for me to recover?"
"A week. This week, you have something to do," Zhang Yan said, standing up straight.
Mu Anxiao nodded and said, "I should be following Shi Momo. As for the evil soul in Yan Ruoruo's body, it probably won't make any major moves."
"Before that, you should focus on figuring out the wolf demon's exact location, and then think about how to persuade him," Zhang Yan said, returning to the kitchen.
Mu Anxiao nodded in agreement.
The next morning, Mu Anxiao opened her eyes, sat up, and looked at Zhang Yan, who was coming out of the inner room. "Where is the Dim Land?"
"Why are you asking about that?" Zhang Yan asked, a towel draped around his neck.
"I want to go find the wolf demon today," Mu Anxiao said.
"With your current condition, you can't go there. Today, you should do nothing and come with me to change yourself."
"Why do I need to change myself?" Mu Anxiao asked.
"They're calling you a village girl, and you're my granddaughter. Aren't you embarrassing me?"
"They don't know I'm your granddaughter, and besides, you told me to say that. Now you're saying I'm embarrassing you."
"How could I have known you'd meet a snob on your first day here?" Zhang Yan said helplessly.
Mu Anxiao yawned and said nothing.
Zhang Yan looked at Mu Anxiao's constant silence and said helplessly, "Can you not be so silent all the time?"
"What can I say? I'm not seeing his mother anyway," Mu Anxiao said, putting on her shoes and standing up.
