This moment, Mu Anxiao deeply felt she was talking to a brick wall.
Simultaneously, the demon souls lay sprawled on the ground, one by one.
Next, Mu Anxiao stepped over them and looked at the red-clothed female demon soul, frowning, "...."
The demon souls dared not utter a sound.
"You don't remember that day?" the red-clothed female demon soul suddenly spoke, stopping her movements.
Immediately, Mu Anxiao frowned, "What are you saying? I don't understand?"
"You said, whoever I am, you get to decide. Now I'm letting you decide." The red-clothed female demon soul slowly raised her head, her eyes glowing with a deep yellow light, and said, "It's only been a little over a decade, and you've already forgotten me, Mu Anxiao, your memory is truly remarkable."
Just now, many demon souls had passed by. Upon seeing the demon souls subdued by Mu Anxiao on the ground, not a single one had paused.
But now this female demon soul began to speak. It seemed she was quite audacious.
However, Mu Anxiao thought again, the demon souls she had captured before were all sorts, each with its own personality.
Each demon soul harbored a different degree of hatred towards her.
She thought, the hatred of this red-clothed female demon soul for her should be even deeper!
"..."
"You really don't remember me?"
Listening to the sharp tone of the red-clothed female demon soul, Mu Anxiao fixed her gaze on her eyes, "You are..." Her eyes widened slowly, "Yin Ye."
However, the red-clothed female demon soul had not expected Mu Anxiao to remember her. Thus, the moment Mu Anxiao spoke her name, she appeared surprised, "You remember me?"
"If I suddenly appeared and asked you who I am, could you tell me right away?"
Yin Ye's eyes darkened. "No."
"Then it's only right. I know why you hate me."
"You know?"
"You once unscrupulously killed everyone who obstructed your beloved man's career path. Of course," Mu Anxiao said, "I didn't have to capture you."
"What do you mean by that?"
"You didn't have to die either. You only needed to be captured and reformed by an immortal who specializes in capturing demons. But you said it was all your fault. I can only say," Mu Anxiao sighed, "it was your own choice."
"..."
Before this, Mu Anxiao had been judged by many demon souls based on preconceived notions.
However, after the incident with Wan Sha, she had reviewed all the pasts related to these demon souls, including their characteristics, one by one.
Of course, during this time, she was also contemplating whether what she was doing was worth it.
Now, it seemed, everything she had done was worth it.
"Why aren't you speaking anymore?" she asked.
Immediately, the light in Yin Ye's eyes gradually faded. "You said, this was my choice?"
"It was that scumbag man who brainwashed you, using your demonic nature to fulfill his own desires, and you, foolishly led astray by his honeyed words," Mu Anxiao said. "Actually, on your wedding day, I was just passing by to see you. I casually asked if you had done all this. Do you remember?"
Yin Ye's eyes darkened. "I remember."
Mu Anxiao: "That was just a casual question from me. Who knew you would claim it was all your doing, with no relation to that man, that you were the one who brainwashed him. In short, your words were overheard by an immortal who wanted to sympathize with you, and thus, you became my mission."
"Why didn't you explain it clearly to me then?"
"I didn't think of it."
"Didn't think, if you had explained it clearly..."
"Do you think you have any reason to regret?"
"I..."
"After that, that man became the richest man in their town because of you, with many children and grandchildren. But," Mu Anxiao sighed, "he forgot you."
Yin Ye believed that man had waited for her his entire life. For this very reason, she had escaped with the vine spirit.
Ten years ago, she went to see that man, but he had already died.
Therefore, she decided to take revenge and kill Mu Anxiao.
Who would have thought that Mu Anxiao would remember who she was? Not only that, but Mu Anxiao knew things about her even more clearly than she did.
It seemed her heart had suffered ten thousand blows.
"..."
"I can say, as long as you agree to come back with me," Mu Anxiao smiled, "I can allow you to be reincarnated."
"Reincarnated?" Yin Ye looked up at Mu Anxiao. "How is that possible?"
"As long as you help me, anything is possible."
"Really?" Yin Ye was tempted.
Mu Anxiao nodded. "It's true."
Immediately, the demon souls lying on the ground hurriedly shouted, "What about us? What about us!"
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao turned to them and said, "The same applies to you."
Yin Ye: "Can your words be trusted?"
Mu Anxiao looked back at Yin Ye. "If you don't believe me, I can't do anything."
"You..."
"You can go."
"You're letting me go?" Yin Ye was startled by this.
"What, you don't want to leave?"
"I..." Yin Ye was drawn in by Mu Anxiao's words, hesitated, and asked, "Can I really be reincarnated?"
"Yes, but the condition is, you must help me."
"How can I help you?"
"Protect me."
To collect Feng Qishi's body and avenge him, she knew she couldn't die.
And at this moment, she had no one to rely on but herself.
The only way to rely on herself was... to use them.
Of course, she would help them too, but everything depended on their performance.
"Protect you?" Yin Ye was surprised and deliberately glanced at the few demon souls subdued by Mu Anxiao, then said faintly, "I don't think you need it."
"I do."
"..." Yin Ye frowned.
"Now, you can go and check the situation outside, report back to me, and then clear an escape route for me."
"You're not going to do anything about those people?"
"This is for you to handle."
"Leave it to us?" Yin Ye was surprised again.
Mu Anxiao nodded. "Yes. As long as you let those people go, and wait for me to bring the Yin officials, during this time, I will speak well for you and shift all the blame to the vine spirit. This way," she said, "you won't be involved, and it will even count as a meritorious deed."
"This method of yours..." Yin Ye thought for a moment and said, "It's indeed very attractive to me."
"It's a good method, which is why it attracts you."
"The method is indeed excellent."
"The right to implement it is yours," Mu Anxiao said, her gaze casually drifting to behind Yin Ye. Then she quickly reached out and pulled Yin Ye, looking at Wan Sha standing at the alley entrance. "He's here," she said, pulling Yin Ye behind her.
The moment Yin Ye was pulled aside by Mu Anxiao, she was startled.
Wan Sha: "What are you doing?"
