At this moment, Mu Anxiao was indeed nervous. In other words, she was afraid. She was afraid that imposter was Mu Xi.
Therefore, to avoid adding trouble to herself, she decided to give up confronting the situation.
"I'm not nervous."
Seeing Mu Anxiao's tightly furrowed brows, Bi Shou smiled: "You still say you're not nervous, your expression has already betrayed you."
"It's such a dark night," Mu Anxiao deliberately glanced at the magic lantern placed by the tree, cleared her throat, and said, "How could you possibly see my face."
Bi Shou followed Mu Anxiao's gaze and also glanced at the magic lantern, saying, "Alright, if you don't want to admit it, then don't. Speaking of which," she pointed at Feng Qishi, "he's not dead, is he?"
"He was just affected by the demonic energy and fainted."
"It's been half an hour already, he..."
Before Bi Shou could finish speaking, Mu Anxiao suddenly remembered her troublesome mission.
So, she asked, "How do you know it's been half an hour?"
"I can tell time by the sky," Bi Shou pointed to the sky above.
Following Bi Shou's gesture, Mu Anxiao looked up at the night sky and said, "Return to your original form."
"I only..."
"Hurry up," Mu Anxiao realized the importance of time and said anxiously.
Seeing Mu Anxiao's anxious expression, Bi Shou lowered her head to look at the silver rope tied to her ankle and said, "My demonic art... is confined by your silver rope."
Upon hearing this, Mu Anxiao quickly lowered her head to look at her ankle, then without a second word, she waved her hand in front of Bi Shou. Immediately, Bi Shou returned to her original form and landed on the ground.
"If you dare to have any other ideas, I won't let you off," Mu Anxiao said. She stood up, turned towards Feng Qishi, and cast a spell on his face. Feng Qishi gradually regained consciousness.
Bi Shou, worried that Mu Anxiao might forget her, hastily drew attention to herself: "Mu Anxiao, you are a celestial being, using demonic arts will surely lead to punishment when you return."
"You don't need to worry about me," Mu Anxiao said. She turned back, bent down, and picked up Bi Shou directly, "You're quite sharp."
Bi Shou sensed something was wrong, "What are you doing?"
"Your sharpness is not a good thing for me," Mu Anxiao said, raising her index finger and lightly tapping the blade, "I'm going to restore you to how you were before you were sharpened." With that, she unleashed her demonic art.
At the same time, Feng Qishi woke up, sat up, and looked up at the red light emanating from Mu Anxiao's fingertip. He exclaimed, "Silly Mu, you're using demonic arts again!" Saying that, he stood up.
Mu Anxiao: "..."
Feng Qishi stood beside Mu Anxiao, angered, "Are you deaf or something? I'm talking to you!"
"Can you have some awareness?" Mu Anxiao said without even looking at Feng Qishi, continuing to use her demonic art.
Feng Qishi knew Mu Anxiao disliked him interfering in her affairs, so after she said that, he remained silent for the moment.
Bi Shou, through her original form, saw Feng Qishi's speechless state and quickly said, "Feng Qishi, she is absorbing the demonic energy from my dagger. Hurry and stop her!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Qishi's eyes widened.
Mu Anxiao clicked her tongue, saying, "If you keep spouting nonsense, I'll melt you."
"..." Bi Shou shivered slightly upon hearing this.
Feng Qishi believed Bi Shou's words and said, "Silly Mu, you'll go into qi deviation like this, don't do it."
Mu Anxiao knew Feng Qishi was an extremely rule-abiding and good celestial being, so she had long anticipated that he would be foolish enough to believe Bi Shou's words.
Therefore, she ignored him.
Seeing that Mu Anxiao was ignoring him, Feng Qishi slowly extended his hand.
"If you dare to touch me, I will truly go into qi deviation," Mu Anxiao said, finally glancing at Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi: "..." He didn't dare to speak and retracted his hand.
Thus, Bi Shou had to endure this pain that did not originally belong to her.
Minutes later.
Mu Anxiao gently stroked the blade and a smile played on her lips, "You're useless." Saying that, she wrapped the silver rope around the dagger.
Bi Shou struggled in vain and said, "You're too ruthless."
"My hand was injured by you twice, which shows that the person who sharpened you was also a formidable character."
"Very formidable," Bi Shou said, her voice suddenly choked with emotion.
However, Mu Anxiao paid no attention to Bi Shou's voice. Instead, she turned to Feng Qishi, who was watching her, and said, "Accompany me somewhere."
"Where?"
"Follow me," Mu Anxiao said as she tied the dagger to her waistband.
At this moment, Bi Shou had come to fear Mu Anxiao.
Just then, Feng Qishi became curious as to why Bi Shou had stopped talking.
Thinking this, he asked, "Silly Mu, what did you just do to her?"
Hearing Feng Qishi's curious question, Mu Anxiao lied, "I'm absorbing her demonic energy."
"If they find out you're doing this from above, you'll be punished."
"..." Mu Anxiao didn't expect Feng Qishi to believe her words, so she pursed her lips and smiled.
Feng Qishi looked at Mu Anxiao's silent smile with a puzzled expression, furrowing his brows, "I hit the nail on the head."
"You'd rather believe a demon than believe me, Crazy Shen, you are too..."
"You said it yourself, I didn't believe her," Feng Qishi said actively to avoid an argument with Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao listened to Feng Qishi's excited tone and smiled helplessly, "To avoid injury, I returned her to her original state. It's that simple."
"Why did you use demonic arts?"
"She's a demon, if I don't use demonic arts to deal with her, it won't be effective."
"That's still not allowed, you are a celestial being."
"..." Mu Anxiao looked at Feng Qishi's serious expression and sighed helplessly, "I don't want to waste my spells. This demonic art is different, it can be cast freely."
"...." Feng Qishi was speechless.
Mu Anxiao: "Let's go, I still have a mission to complete."
"What mission?"
"To find an old man," Mu Anxiao said, looking around, "Crazy Shen, lead the way."
Hearing this, Feng Qishi was stunned, "I don't even know where you're going, how can I lead the way?"
"Pick up the lantern, I'm leaving the city."
"The city gates should be closed by now," Feng Qishi said, moving to the side of the tree and bending down to pick up the magic lantern.
Mu Anxiao looked at Feng Qishi indifferently and asked, "What are you?"
"I am a celestial being."
"If the city gates are blocked, what can you do?" Mu Anxiao asked with a sly smile.
Feng Qishi thought for a moment and said, "If I fly out, someone might see..."
"You can turn invisible," Mu Anxiao was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with him, and casually pointed in a direction, "Lead the way."
Feng Qishi: "You're pointing the wrong way." Saying that, he walked past Mu Anxiao and went ahead.
Mu Anxiao was stunned, then looked down at the subtly smiling Bi Shou and said, "What are you laughing at?"
"Your pretense of knowing when you don't, it's truly laughable."
"You're the laughable one," Mu Anxiao said, trying to cover her embarrassment. She flicked Bi Shou and quickly followed Feng Qishi.
