Many times, Feng Qishi would be left speechless by a word from Mu Anxiao, and this was one of those times.
"..."
"You continue to observe. When you notice something, call me." Mu Anxiao lay down.
Feng Qishi watched Mu Anxiao's leisurely demeanor and then felt the wind, saying, "You've truly learned... my essence."
"What do you mean by that?"
Feng Qishi replied, "I used to be this calm."
"Don't flatter yourself. If I stood up and focused on finding the demon soul, it would only be a waste of my spiritual energy. Instead of doing that, it's better to rest and be ready for a fight later." Mu Anxiao placed her hand behind her head.
Feng Qishi sighed.
Mu Anxiao closed her eyes and said, "It's starting."
"What's starting?"
"What else could it be, his scheme is starting."
"How do you know?"
"A feeling." Mu Anxiao touched the silver rope beside her, which was faintly stirring.
The silver rope remained inactive until it encountered prey.
However, once it encountered prey, it would automatically capture the prey's soul aura. As soon as that soul aura moved, it would immediately sense it.
This was something Mu Anxiao had only recently discovered.
"Silver rope." Feng Qishi stared at the silver rope by Mu Anxiao's hand.
Mu Anxiao yawned, "It seems I can't rest." Saying this, she flipped over and fell straight down.
Seeing this, Feng Qishi quickly stood up. He looked down and saw Mu Anxiao had already landed steadily on the ground. "Are you crazy?" he said, then jumped down.
Mu Anxiao coiled the silver rope around her hand, then looked around the surroundings. "You're the one who's crazy."
Feng Qishi stood behind Mu Anxiao. "Where is that demon soul?"
Mu Anxiao glanced at Feng Qishi. "The inn." She then walked towards the inn.
Feng Qishi followed.
The inn.
Those women were eating the dishes with pained expressions, unable to utter a word.
Seeing their pained eating, Er revealed a triumphant smile.
Upstairs.
Xu Lan stood by the window, looking down at Mu Anxiao and Feng Qishi approaching the inn. He frowned and muttered, "Could it be that they've discovered something?" Saying this, he turned to look at Xu Lan sitting at the table. "Go downstairs!"
"Master, are they here?"
"I don't know. Let's go down and see." Xu Lan walked past the table and headed towards the room door.
Xu Lan quickly stood up and followed Xu Lan.
At the same time, Mu Anxiao stopped outside the inn.
Feng Qishi asked, "Why did you stop?"
Mu Anxiao replied, "Wait, let's act according to the situation." Saying this, she made the silver rope in her hand invisible.
Feng Qishi looked down at Mu Anxiao's skilled maneuver and smiled, "You can do this too?"
"I learned all of this after coming here." Mu Anxiao explained in detail, then stepped into the inn and looked at Er with a smile. "We're back."
Er also smiled at Mu Anxiao. "It's so dark outside, what were you doing out there?"
"The air outside was good, and we could see the moon." Mu Anxiao glanced at the women who were stuffed to the brim. "It's so late, they probably can't finish eating, right?"
"We can," one of the women in green shouted with her cheeks bulging.
Mu Anxiao... She looked at the green-clad woman's forced expression and smiled helplessly.
Feng Qishi also glanced at the woman and then shivered.
Er asked, "Do you need foot wash water tonight?"
"No, thank you." Mu Anxiao walked to an empty table and sat down.
Seeing Mu Anxiao sit down, Er's expression changed. "Why are you sitting down?" xxs
Mu Anxiao picked up a cup and said, "I wanted to sit here and enjoy the scenery." She deliberately glanced at the women.
Er laughed, "You really know how to smile."
"No. Oh, by the way," Mu Anxiao pointed outside the inn, "the scenery on the roof just now was particularly good, but for some reason, a man suddenly appeared, which really spoiled the view."
Feng Qishi... He walked to Mu Anxiao's side and sat down.
Er smiled... and then looked at the women again.
Mu Anxiao continued to stare at Er's face, then slowly lowered her gaze to the now quiet silver rope, thinking, Strange, why is there no reaction?
"What's wrong?" Feng Qishi asked, glancing at Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao picked up a cup and took a sip of water. "Nothing." She looked up at Xu Lan, who was walking towards them. "Why did you come down too?"
Xu Lan sat opposite Mu Anxiao and said, "There was nothing to do in the room, so I thought I'd come down for a bit. I didn't expect you to be here too."
Xu Lan sat beside Xu Lan, leaned forward, and asked Mu Anxiao in a low voice, "How is it?"
Mu Anxiao shushed him.
Seeing this, Xu Lan pursed his lips tightly.
Feng Qishi said in a low voice, "Stop talking, have some water." He handed Xu Lan a cup and grinned.
"Mm." Xu Lan nodded slightly and took the cup.
Er looked at Mu Anxiao's table, his face showing an expression that Mu Anxiao couldn't describe in words.
A quarter of an hour later.
The women failed and fainted.
"Oh dear, they've fainted." Mu Anxiao stood up with exaggerated concern, walked around the table, and went behind the woman in green.
Er replied, "Yes!"
"Let me help you send them to their rooms."
"No need, I can manage on my own."
"It's just you, you must be too tired."
"It's fine, I'm used to it." Saying this, Er walked to Mu Anxiao's side. "You should go rest."
Seeing Er's polite demeanor, Mu Anxiao couldn't say anything and walked away.
Thus, Er carried them upstairs one by one.
After a round of observation, Mu Anxiao suddenly noticed a green mist emanating from the head of the woman in green.
"Shen Fengzi, look." Mu Anxiao pointed at the woman in green.
Feng Qishi followed Mu Anxiao's gaze and frowned. "What is that?"
"I don't know. Why is there green light coming from her head?" Mu Anxiao thought for a moment and asked, "By the way, when I finished eating, did I have this?"
"You?"
"Yes, did I have green light coming from me?"
Immediately, Feng Qishi thought about Mu Anxiao's question and replied, "No!"
"No?" Mu Anxiao raised her hand and touched the top of her head, asking, "Why didn't I?"
"You're just so..."
Feng Qishi was mid-sentence when Mu Anxiao suddenly saw the woman in green's soul subtly floating out of her body.
Seeing this, Mu Anxiao quickly stood up, walked around the table to the woman's side, then glanced at the green dishes on the table that were gradually turning black. "Not good." Then she quickly raised a finger and tapped the woman's forehead.
