Mu Anxiao carefully glanced at Feng Qishi, who was staring intently at the scene within, and cleared her throat. Just as she was about to speak, Shen Yan’s soft call to the young Mu Anxiao inexplicably reached her ears: “Mu Anxiao, wake up!”
Immediately, she froze and asked, “Shen the Mad, did you hear that?”
Feng Qishi: “Hear what?” He looked down at Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao: “Didn’t you hear your own voice?” She pointed towards Shen Yan inside.
“…” Feng Qishi, taking Mu Anxiao’s words, glanced inside and shook his head, “No.”
Lin Yan chimed in, “I didn’t hear anything either.”
“You didn’t hear anything either,” Mu Anxiao murmured, glancing at Lin Yan, then back towards Shen Yan, wondering if his voice was only audible to her.
As this thought crossed her mind, Shen Yan gently held the young Mu Anxiao in his arms, then placed his hand on her forehead, whispering, “Mu Anxiao, wake up.”
Having experienced much, the young Mu Anxiao had lost all attachment to the world. The moment she drank the poison, she had chosen to give up on herself.
But the instant Shen Yan’s voice reached her ears, her heart felt as though it had bloomed.
Opening her eyes, she stood in place, surveying the surrounding darkness. Tears slipped from the corners of her eyes uncontrollably. Lowering her head slightly, she looked at her body, enveloped in a blue light, and asked, “Who are you?” Surprisingly, she was lucid enough to know she might be dreaming. Her question was merely a test, to see if anyone would respond.
At the same time, both Shen Yan and Mu Anxiao heard the young Mu Anxiao’s voice.
This time, Mu Anxiao did not react, merely watching the scene quietly, saying nothing.
Shen Yan: “My name is Shen Yan. I am the one saving you…” He brushed the hair from her eyes.
Hearing Shen Yan’s response, the young Mu Anxiao became excited: “Shen Yan, you’re going to save me?” She didn’t know where he was, so she stared in one direction.
Shen Yan: “Yes, I have cleared the remaining poison from your body. Next, you just need to open your eyes.”
“Open my eyes,” the young Mu Anxiao said, memories of all she had endured flashing through her mind. She shook her head, “I don’t want to.”
Hearing the young Mu Anxiao’s words, Shen Yan grew anxious: “If you don’t open your eyes, you will die.”
“Die,” the young Mu Anxiao lowered her gaze slightly, tears flowing down her cheeks once more. “If I die, I won’t have to suffer anymore. In that case… I’d rather die.”
“You cannot die,” Shen Yan urged.
Hearing Shen Yan’s voice, Mu Anxiao’s eyes widened.
Feng Qishi looked down at Mu Anxiao, utterly bewildered.
The young Mu Anxiao, hearing Shen Yan’s agitated tone, let out a wry smile and said, “Brother Shen Yan, thank you. Someone like me is not worth saving. If I die…”
“You cannot die, Mu Anxiao,” Shen Yan said, hugging the young Mu Anxiao tightly, his voice filled with emotion. “As long as you wake up, I will take you away. I will protect you from now on.”
“……” The young Mu Anxiao’s eyes darkened. “Brother said the same thing to me back then, but… the one who harmed me in the end was also him. I don’t…”
“I will protect you, I won’t lie to you,” Shen Yan insisted, still agitated. “Mu Anxiao, as long as you wake up, I’ll give you candy. From now on, you’ll never go hungry again. If you encounter difficulties, I will also protect you. I won’t lie to you.”
Shen Yan’s voice was so firm, so unwavering, that it made Mu Anxiao question if he was the Shen Yan she knew. Yet, the feeling was undeniably familiar.
“Master, what’s wrong?” Lin Yan asked, looking at Feng Qishi, who had suddenly grimaced in pain.
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao quickly turned to look at Feng Qishi, frowning. “Shen the Mad, what’s wrong?” she asked, her gaze falling on the blue light surrounding Feng Qishi’s body with surprise. She reached out and grabbed his arm again.
Feng Qishi: “Memories…” he mumbled, looking vaguely at Mu Anxiao’s face. “I’m sorry.”
Mu Anxiao blinked. “Why are you apologizing to me?”
Feng Qishi: “I’m sorry, for saying I would take you away, for saying I would protect you, for saying I wouldn’t let you go hungry or suffer. Mu Anxiao,” his demeanor completely shifted to that of Shen Yan, “I broke my promise.”
Seeing this, Mu Anxiao was stunned. “Shen the Mad, are you alright?” she was startled by Feng Qishi’s state.
“Mu Anxiao… uh…” Feng Qishi clutched his head in pain. “I remember now, you are my…” Before he could finish, a wave of dizziness washed over him, and he slumped towards Mu Anxiao.
The next second, Mu Anxiao caught Feng Qishi.
Lin Yan: “…” Startled, he quickly averted his gaze.
Inside.
As Shen Yan spoke these words, the young Mu Anxiao said, “Brother Shen Yan, you can’t lie to me.”
Shen Yan: “I won’t lie to you.”
“I…” the young Mu Anxiao was touched. “I believe you.” As her words fell, the blue light surrounding her body suddenly dispersed. With the spread of the blue light, the pitch-black area instantly became bright.
Not far away, a man dressed in blue, with long flowing hair, slowly appeared.
The young Mu Anxiao saw the man, and all the sorrow in her heart dissipated. “Brother Shen Yan,” she murmured, running towards Shen Yan.
A moment later.
Shen Yan looked down at the young Mu Anxiao, who was slowly opening her eyes, and breathed a sigh of relief. “You’re awake.” He took the young Mu Anxiao’s hand.
The young Mu Anxiao looked at Shen Yan and smiled, “You are Brother Shen Yan.”
“It is I,” Shen Yan nodded, gently helping the young Mu Anxiao up.
“Are you really willing to take me away?” the young Mu Anxiao asked Shen Yan. “I’m very troublesome, and people who are with me never have good luck. Are you… really sure?”
“What I decide, I never go back on,” Shen Yan said, standing up.
The young Mu Anxiao thought she had been dreaming. Upon waking and seeing Shen Yan, the doubt in her heart finally subsided. “I believe you,” she said, standing up. She then glanced at the maid collapsed in the corner. “Brother Shen Yan, is she dead?”
At this, Shen Yan turned to look at the maid. “She won’t die, but she might have gone mad.”
“Mad?” the young Mu Anxiao exclaimed in surprise.
“She brought it upon herself,” Shen Yan said, stepping back. With a wave of his arm, he instantly transformed into the maid’s appearance. “Alright, I will take you away tomorrow.”
Seeing this, the young Mu Anxiao was stunned. “Brother Shen Yan, you…”
“I am a cultivator.”
“Cultivator…” the young Mu Anxiao exclaimed. As she took a step forward, her soles suddenly ached intensely. She quickly sat down, her expression contorted.
Then, Shen Yan, now resembling the maid, walked gracefully in front of the young Mu Anxiao. He looked down at her feet and said, “Bear with it.”
