"What kind of talent is this?"
"Then what do you call what you have?"
"This was forced out of me."
Because of the wolf demon, Mu Anxiao broke ties with Shen Yan. She then embarked on a path of demon hunting. During this process, Mu Anxiao tried various methods to sense demonic energy, but all were in vain.
Finally, she began to think of demonic energy as the energy of money.
Gradually, her already keen sense of smell was formally developed.
"I don't understand what you're saying," the wolf demon shook its head slightly.
Mu Anxiao was too lazy to explain much to the wolf demon. She turned her gaze forward. She sniffed the surrounding air and said, "Come out."
Upon hearing this, the wolf demon asked in confusion, "Who are you talking to?"
"Not you," Mu Anxiao replied, without even glancing at the wolf demon, her eyes still fixed ahead.
The next second, Lin Yan, dressed in black, appeared before Mu Anxiao. "You sensed me."
"Were you kicked out?" Mu Anxiao, recalling her brother's experience, asked.
Lin Yan: "Yes, they said I had no identity."
"When did you get out?" Mu Anxiao tried to remain calm.
"In less than half a day, I got lost in this forest. I just saw you," Lin Yan said, "and you found me."
At the same time, the wolf demon exclaimed, "Aren't you that guy?"
Hearing this, Lin Yan looked at the wolf demon's wildly gaping, bloody mouth, then at the girl's face. He said, "A young lady like you speaking like this, I'm afraid it's not proper."
Upon hearing this, the wolf demon finally realized it was a female. So, it pursed its lips slightly and said, "I know you."
Mu Anxiao shivered at the wolf demon's affected speech. "It's better if you act normal."
"Oh." The wolf demon nodded, glanced at Mu Anxiao, then at Lin Yan. "Allow me to introduce myself. I am a wolf accustomed to running on the grasslands. My name is Hu Yuan, male. This is not my true form."
Mu Anxiao's mouth twitched. She turned to the wolf demon, who habitually claimed to be a prairie wolf, and asked, "By the way, have you ever been to the grasslands?"
"Yes."
"Aren't wolves pack animals?"
Hearing this, the wolf demon couldn't help but chuckle. "Oh, Mu Anxiao, you know quite a bit about us wolves."
"If you are a pack animal, why don't you bring your companions to cultivate demonic energy?"
"..."
Everyone has a past they don't want to reveal, and the wolf demon was no exception, but it didn't want to mention it because that past was not worth mentioning to it.
As for why it liked to mention the grasslands?
It was because the grasslands had left an unforgettable impression on it, so it liked to bring it up whenever it felt like it.
Conversely, if asked to elaborate, it couldn't, because that would involve its past.
Seeing the wolf demon's silence, Mu Anxiao stopped asking. She then turned to Lin Yan and asked, "You don't know why you've become like this?"
"Yes, it's precisely because I don't know that I want to come back and see."
"..." Mu Anxiao expressed understanding, nodding slightly. She looked at the unchanged hole in front of Lin Yan and asked, "Your wound hasn't healed yet?"
"Yes, the netherworld official who drove me away said I wasn't dead, so this hole became my mark. If the matter isn't resolved," Lin Yan's eyes darkened, "this hole will not disappear."
"Go find Feng Qi Shi."
"No."
"Why.."
As Mu Anxiao uttered just one word, the wolf demon said, "His body's memory is gradually accepting that imposter, so he cannot get close."
"Then what should we do?" Mu Anxiao turned to the wolf demon.
The wolf demon thought for a moment and said, "There is a way."
"What way?"
"We just have to wait for the imposter..." The wolf demon realized that talking to Mu Anxiao was useless. It then turned to Lin Yan, "How do you know you can't find Feng Qi Shi?"
"The netherworld official told me that there was someone whose body was occupied by a soul, and from then on, he lost the opportunity to meet his body. So, I guess," Lin Yan's eyes darkened, "that imposter must be by my master's side."
"Your guess is quite accurate."
"Actually, it's not entirely my guess."
However, Lin Yan's inconsistent and contradictory explanations left Mu Anxiao speechless.
She then asked, "Speaking of which, the netherworld official who drove you away told you quite a lot."
"Yes, she's a woman, just like you."
"..." Mu Anxiao lowered her eyes and thought, then asked, "What's her name?"
"Xu Lan."
"Xu..." Mu Anxiao startled and quickly glanced to her sides, then back at Lin Yan, asking, "Tell me an accurate time, when did you come up here?"
"When you were captured."
"You saw it?"
"Didn't you say you were lost? Kid, are you telling the truth at all?" the wolf demon asked impatiently.
Lin Yan: "Xu Lan said that before you guessed her identity, I should pretend to be foolish. If you guessed it was her, then I wouldn't have to continue lying to you."
"..." Mu Anxiao couldn't understand Xu Lan's thinking.
At the same time, Lin Yan looked at the wolf demon. "I also know you're not that dagger."
"..." The wolf demon forced a smile.
Lin Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at Mu Anxiao. "She said you could help me. That imposter seems to be a difficult guy to deal with."
"The imposter is a soul, for you, it is indeed..."
"He's not a soul," Lin Yan interrupted.
Mu Anxiao: "..." She was confused by Lin Yan's words and said, "Let's start from the beginning. I'm a bit confused about what you mean."
"Okay," Lin Yan nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "My netherworld official is Xu Lan. Then, just as I was about to enter that door, my soul body suddenly lit up with black light. Then Xu Lan said my body had been taken over, and the one who took over my body was human."
"Human."
"Yes, because of this, I lost the chance to enter. Now, the booklet about my past is slowly disappearing. She said I must get my body back and drive out the imposter, but I can't do it myself. Only you can help me. Then, she brought me to you."
"Did she see me being framed?"
Lin Yan: "To be honest, she deliberately sealed the entrance." Saying this, he glanced sideways at a small tree.
Mu Anxiao heard this and laughed. "That's quite something. I didn't even notice."
"So, does that mean we can't go down anymore?" The wolf demon, who had been thinking about the dog-headed monster, became anxious upon hearing Lin Yan's words.
"Are you that eager to go down?"
Just now, Lin Yan had only seen the wolf demon transform into a dagger, but he hadn't heard their conversation. So, when the wolf demon said this, he was quite surprised.
"Of course. My demon core is in someone's hands. If you dare to stop me, you..." The wolf demon, due to being bound by the black rope, couldn't exert any strength and weakly said, "Wait until I'm free, then you'll see."
"What is a demon core?" Lin Yan was confused.
