Hearing this, Mu Anxiao looked at Chen and said, "Gu Xiao, you two go back first."
"You don't want me to follow?" Gu Xiao asked, surprised.
An unknown amount of time had passed since they came out from outside.
Mu Anxiao dared not imagine the situation outside, nor could she imagine whether those captured by the demon souls were alive or dead.
Therefore, after deliberation, she decided to split up.
"No need, I'll go by myself."
Feng Qishi exclaimed, "You're going alone, are you crazy?"
"How am I crazy?"
"There are monsters on that road, you..."
"I'm not afraid," Mu Anxiao interrupted, deliberately glancing at Xiang Nang.
Seeing Mu Anxiao look at her, Xiang Nang quickly averted her gaze.
Shen Xian said, "Those monsters are in groups. It's dangerous for you to go alone."
Hearing Shen Xian's words, Mu Anxiao's heart sank. She turned to Feng Qishi and said, "Then you come with me."
"Okay."
"I'll follow too," Piao said proactively.
Turning, Mu Anxiao looked at Piao and said, "You don't need to follow. Help me find out where those people are being held."
"..." Piao hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Alright."
"Before that, follow him," Mu Anxiao pointed at Shen Xian.
Piao: "..." He looked at Shen Xian.
Shen Xian: "I can go back by myself."
"He knows where it leads."
Shen Xian: "..." He realized Mu Anxiao was worried he would escape.
However, seeing her so proactive, he decided not to expose her.
Then, Mu Anxiao looked at A Xia and Chen again, "A Xia, please try to persuade Wan Sha again."
A Xia nodded, "I understand."
"Thank you!" Mu Anxiao smiled.
Chen said, "You all must be careful."
"Don't worry."
Thus, they decided to split up.
Before leaving.
Shen Xian stood outside the mansion, looking at the mansion he had grown fond of, and sighed, "Xiang Nang, Yan Bian, this mansion is for you. After I leave, tell my subordinates that I'm gone."
"Why don't you tell them yourself?" Mu Anxiao thought of Shen Xian's subordinates, who were not to be trifled with, and asked.
"I don't want to see them cry."
"Demons still cry."
Shen Xian: "..."
Seeing Shen Xian fall silent, Mu Anxiao couldn't help but remember that he was, after all, a celestial being.
Then, she thought for a moment and asked, "By the way, you have no sense of taste, so why do you still have a sense of smell?"
"..."
Feng Qishi, listening to Mu Anxiao's nonsensical question, felt the same as Shen Xian and didn't want to speak. However, seeing her bewildered expression, he couldn't help but speak.
"Mu, you silly girl, you should say a few more farewell words."
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao looked at Feng Qishi, "I'm just asking questions I don't understand, am I wrong?"
"You're not wrong, but I think it's better not to ask such foolish questions at this time."
"You're the foolish one," Mu Anxiao glared fiercely at Feng Qishi, then looked at Shen Xian, "Your nose..."
"I can smell odors, I've just lost my sense of taste."
"Then eat it," Mu Anxiao remembered the pill Yan Bian had given Shen Xian.
Shen Xian: "..."
"Eat it here."
"Mu, you silly girl, can't you say something properly..."
Feng Qishi's words were cut short by a glare from Mu Anxiao. "..."
Then, Feng Qishi closed his mouth.
Shen Xian looked at Mu Anxiao's attitude towards Feng Qishi and couldn't help but smile. He then took out the pill from his sleeve and swallowed it, "Done."
Mu Anxiao nodded, "Good, you behaved very well."
"My senior brother is not a child."
"Shut up!"
Feng Qishi: "..."
Shen Xian cupped his hands, "Farewell."
Mu Anxiao said, "Then we'll see you off here..."
Gu Xiao said, "You must be careful."
Mu Anxiao nodded, "Got it, let's go."
Piao said, "Don't you dare die, if you die..."
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao's gaze directly hit Piao's face, "You shut up too, don't curse me."
Piao: "..." He shrugged.
And so, they left.
Mu Anxiao stretched, turned to Xiang Nang, and said, "After we leave, you two take good care of yourselves." She glanced at Yan Bian.
Yan Bian replied, "We will, don't worry."
"That's good, we," Mu Anxiao nudged Feng Qishi with her elbow, "will be leaving now."
Yan Bian asked, "You're leaving already?"
"Yes, we don't have much time left."
Yan Bian said, "I'll escort you."
"You?" Mu Anxiao sheepishly touched the back of her head, then looked at Xiang Nang, "Then the two of you can escort us together."
Feng Qishi looked at Mu Anxiao with a helpless expression and said, "Mu, you silly girl, you're quite audacious."
Mu Anxiao: "..." She glared at Feng Qishi again.
Xiang Nang looked at Mu Anxiao's expectant expression and then at Yan Bian. She took a deep breath and said, "I lied to you."
"Huh?"
"I don't have a token to the underworld at all. I just wanted you to help Shen Xian find his conscience."
"..."
"I'm sorry." Xiang Nang lowered her head.
Ever since they returned, Xiang Nang had been avoiding Mu Anxiao. At that time, Mu Anxiao had sensed something was wrong.
However, she didn't overthink it because she had always thought... Xiang Nang hadn't recovered from her grief!
But now, hearing Xiang Nang say this, anger welled up in her heart. She clenched her fists slightly and said, "You mean you lied to me."
"..." Xiang Nang tightly pursed her lips.
Mu Anxiao pouted, took a deep breath of the demonic energy that didn't smell good to her at all, and said helplessly, "Can you stop being silent? How am I supposed to... leave?" She pouted.
Yan Bian had always thought Mu Anxiao was a strong person. Seeing Mu Anxiao's embarrassed expression now, she twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "You're being too dramatic."
"Yan Bian, you've fought with those monsters before, haven't you?" Mu Anxiao shifted her gaze to Yan Bian.
Yan Bian nodded, "I have."
"Was it easy?"
"That..." Yan Bian thought for a moment, "Difficult, not difficult, but simple, not simple. Anyway... their abilities, I can't describe them."
"The two of us," Mu Anxiao pointed at Feng Qishi, "have to deal with so many, how long does each encounter take, have you calculated it?"
Yan Bian: "..."
"Time, do you know how precious time is to me now?" Mu Anxiao's emotions became inexplicably agitated, "Xiang Nang, you're really something, something indeed." She gave a thumbs-up.
Xiang Nang: "..." She lowered her head.
Feng Qishi, seeing Mu Anxiao's exaggerated behavior, said calmly, "Mu, you silly girl, if you think about it, the inner cores of those monsters are as valuable as silver. Perhaps, you can even have a delicious meal with the inner cores, or become the richest person in the demon realm. Doesn't thinking about that make you happy?"
Mu Anxiao retorted, "Shen, you crazy fellow, is that how you comfort people?"
