Mu Anxiao shot Feng Qishi a look and said, "Only you are so capable."
"Thanks!"
"You're welcome." Mu Anxiao said casually, took a step forward, surveyed the surroundings, and asked, "Shen Fengzi, how long until we arrive?"
Feng Qishi replied, "That's a question you should be considering. Why are you asking me?"
"..." Mu Anxiao curled her lips, turned around, and looked at Feng Qishi, who was eyeing her with disdain, saying, "Do you have a problem with me?"
"No."
"No? Your words are full of barbs directed at me. What do you mean?"
"Who's targeting you?"
"You are targeting me," Mu Anxiao stated firmly.
Feng Qishi: "..." He sighed.
Mu Anxiao snorted and stepped forward, saying, "Shen Fengzi, I don't believe you don't know how long it will take to reach the underworld."
"Not long, maybe ten days to half a month."
"..."
Feng Qishi looked down at Mu Anxiao's speechless expression and snorted, "See? You don't believe me when I say it like this."
"Really?"
"..." Feng Qishi stared at Mu Anxiao for a few seconds before saying, "I'm kidding. Three more days of travel, and we'll be there."
"Still three days?" Mu Anxiao's mouth twitched.
"What did you expect? Three days is considered fast."
"Three days is fast," Mu Anxiao muttered, thinking about the journey ahead. She glanced at the wild fruits in her hand and pouted, "I have to eat this dung for another three days. Oh my god, I'm having such a hard time."
Feng Qishi said, "You're a woman, can you watch your language?"
"Is this dung?" Mu Anxiao held the wild fruit up to Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi: "..."
"If you think so, I say," Mu Anxiao took a deep breath, "Can you get me something good to eat? Something with salt and sweetness. My teeth are aching from this stuff."
"It's good enough that we have food," Feng Qishi said and turned to walk away.
Mu Anxiao looked left and right, then hurried to catch up with Feng Qishi, grabbing his belt.
Feng Qishi was used to it and said, "Do you remember what Hei Feng said?" He stopped again.
"Hei Feng's words?" Mu Anxiao repeated, narrowing her eyes. "What do you mean, you look down on my memory?" She pointed to her head.
"Do you remember or not?" Feng Qishi turned around and tilted his chin up.
Mu Anxiao: "..." Her eyes flickered.
Feng Qishi said, "You don't remember."
"I..." Mu Anxiao forced a smile. "Of course, I remember."
"If you remember, why the expression?"
"Sour."
"Sour? Then tell me, what did Hei Feng say to you?"
From Feng Qishi's understanding of Mu Anxiao, she was the type to... always falter at crucial moments.
Before this, she had gone through so many things, especially Gu An's affairs, which were quite taxing on her mind.
Therefore, to prevent any mishaps later, Feng Qishi thought it best to clarify things with Mu Anxiao beforehand, so that everything would go smoothly.
This journey would not have been in vain.
Mu Anxiao: "..."
"What do you mean by not talking?"
"I'll remember when I get there," Mu Anxiao's eyes darted around.
Feng Qishi: "You really forgot."
"I..." Being pressed by Feng Qishi, Mu Anxiao lost the motivation to recall further. "I forgot. So what?"
"So what? I'll tell you again. Remember it."
"Where are you going?"
Every time Mu Anxiao was about to leave, she would have this attitude.
So, considering her own behavior, the moment Feng Qishi asked that question, she suddenly felt uneasy.
"I'm not going anywhere."
"Then why did you suddenly ask me this?"
"..." Feng Qishi looked at Mu Anxiao's slightly anxious expression and smiled, "Aren't you very capable? What, are you worried I'll abandon you?"
"If you abandon me at this juncture, you wouldn't be much of an immortal."
"I won't abandon you." Feng Qishi reached out and patted Mu Anxiao's head twice.
Mu Anxiao: "..." Her eyes widened.
Seeing this, Feng Qishi withdrew his hand and said awkwardly, "I'm just afraid you'll mess things up and won't be able to do the job. Our journey here hasn't been easy." After speaking, he averted his gaze under Mu Anxiao's glare.
Mu Anxiao said, "I know. Tell me then." She squeezed her tired eyes.
Feng Qishi: "Apologize."
"Apologize," Mu Anxiao repeated, looking down and thinking about Hei Feng's words that day. She suddenly realized, "Oh, I remember now. My mission this time is to apologize to them on behalf of Hei Feng."
"It's good that you remember."
"Of course, I remember. But," Mu Anxiao gave a foolish smile, "Thank you for reminding me. Otherwise, I would have really messed things up."
"You're welcome." Feng Qishi said, habitually reaching out to wipe the red fruit juice from Mu Anxiao's lips.
Mu Anxiao froze, then after he withdrew his hand, she asked, "What are you doing?" She covered her mouth and took half a step back.
Feng Qishi looked at Mu Anxiao's panicked expression and frowned, "What are you doing?"
"You..." Mu Anxiao tiptoed, reached out, and firmly covered Feng Qishi's mouth, asking, "What do you mean by this?" She removed her hand.
Feng Qishi touched his lips and said, "You have wild fruit juice on your lips. I was just wiping it for you."
"You could have just told me, don't touch me."
"Who wants to touch you?"
"Don't touch me." Mu Anxiao pointed at Feng Qishi, then suddenly remembered Shen Yan giving Gu An immortal blood. She said, "Hey, let me ask you something."
Feng Qishi: "..." He stared intently at Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao's eyes flickered unnaturally, "Don't look at me like that."
"Then don't ask."
"Don't," Mu Anxiao said hastily, pointing at Feng Qishi's eyes. "Look at me carefully. I have a question for you."
"Get to the point," Feng Qishi emphasized.
Mu Anxiao scratched her head and said, "Back then, did you already like Gu An?"
Feng Qishi: "..."
Originally, Mu Anxiao didn't want to ask. But after spending three days with Feng Qishi, she became increasingly curious about whether Shen Yan truly had such feelings for Gu An back then.
Also, she wanted to confirm if Shen Yan had any feelings for her at all during that time.
"Why aren't you talking?" she asked.
Feng Qishi sighed, "If I say it now, you'll definitely overthink it again."
"Say it, and I won't overthink," Mu Anxiao shook her head.
Feng Qishi looked at Mu Anxiao's curious expression and said indifferently, "Definitely liked her. Otherwise, I wouldn't have given her immortal blood to drink back then."
"Then... did you know back then that Gu An no longer had feelings for you?"
