The demons who came here were basically drawn to their fierce personalities; they could not stand it when any demon denied their dancing.
Mu Anxiao, however, had done just that.
Vine Demon: "....." He sat next to Shen Xian, pretending not to know Mu Anxiao.
"....." Shen Xian also couldn't be bothered with her.
Mu Anxiao said, "It's nothing significant."
"Nothing significant, what do you mean by that?" the woman retorted.
Seeing the woman's assertive demeanor and the demons behind her ready to watch the show, Mu Anxiao said, "I just think your dancing is exceptionally good."
"Exceptionally good, what did you mean by that sentence?"
"Which sentence?" Mu Anxiao touched her hat.
The woman said, "Coming here just to watch this, what do you mean?"
Mu Anxiao grinned cheekily, "You have a good memory."
"Give me an explanation."
As expected, the women of the demon realm were different from those of the human world. Mu Anxiao hadn't even exchanged a few words before she became angry.
Fortunately, Mu Anxiao had been a man in the human world for many years, so she still possessed the skill to appease people.
"Miss, you are truly beautiful."
"I know I'm beautiful, stop changing the subject, tell me," the woman's eyes widened, "what did you mean by that?"
In the human world, whenever Mu Anxiao angered a woman, all she had to do was say, "You're so beautiful," and they would immediately change their tune, asking, "Really?"
Who would have thought this woman wouldn't fall for that?
At this moment, she found herself in an awkward situation.
"....."
"Speak," the woman commanded sternly.
Mu Anxiao trembled, stuttering, "I... I re... really... think you... are particularly... beautiful."
Seeing Mu Anxiao's frightened state, the Vine Demon openly chuckled.
Hearing this, the woman's gaze immediately locked onto the Vine Demon's face.
Vine Demon: "....."
Mu Anxiao glanced at the schadenfreude-filled Vine Demon, who had become the target of the woman's attention, and said urgently, "He brought me here." She pointed towards the Vine Demon.
The Vine Demon froze.
The woman turned back to Mu Anxiao and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Mu Anxiao swallowed, saying, "He said," her gaze unwavering, "he said your dancing wasn't as good as his, that you weren't up to par."
"....." The Vine Demon's eyes widened.
"You're lying, aren't you?"
Mu Anxiao: "...."
The Vine Demon breathed a sigh of relief.
The woman narrowed her eyes: "I'm talking to you, can't you reply?"
"I... I'm not lying."
"No? Alright," the woman nodded slightly, turning to the Vine Demon, "I'll give you the stage, you two dance."
Mu Anxiao: "....."
Vine Demon: "....."
Shen Xian sighed.
Feng Qishi looked at Mu Anxiao's profile and said sincerely, "Keep causing trouble, just keep causing trouble."
Piao lowered his head and chuckled unkindly.
Mu Anxiao shot a glance at Feng Qishi and regretted her actions.
In the next moment, Mu Anxiao and the Vine Demon stood side-by-side on the stage.
The Vine Demon glared at Mu Anxiao with a resentful look and said, "If you don't like me, just say it."
"I just don't like you."
"You..." The Vine Demon was rendered speechless.
The woman stood below the stage, looking up at the stiffly standing Vine Demon and Mu Anxiao, and clapped her hands, "Play the music."
"....." Both of them widened their eyes in unison.
Then, the Vine Demon nervously clenched his fists and asked, "What do we do?"
"....." Mu Anxiao was confident and glared at the Vine Demon.
Vine Demon: "....."
The next second, the music started. Mu Anxiao swallowed twice, then recalled the square dancing she had seen in her previous life. Taking a deep breath, she forced a smile and started dancing haphazardly.
Seeing this, the Vine Demon took a step back and followed Mu Anxiao, his movements just as awkward.
Thus, the two of them amused all the demons present.
Feng Qishi watched Mu Anxiao and the Vine Demon's clumsy, strange square dance performance and thought, "It's a good thing we're here; in the real world, they would definitely get beaten." Thinking this, he averted his gaze and lowered his head.
Piao burst into laughter.
The woman looked at the two of them dancing chaotically on stage with disdain, sighed, and said, "Is this all? I thought you were so impressive." With that, she shook her head.
Shen Xian: "...." He picked up his teacup and pretended nothing had happened, taking a sip of tea.
Minutes later.
Mu Anxiao and the Vine Demon, drenched in sweat, jumped off the stage together and walked towards the woman.
The woman looked at the sweat on their foreheads. Before she could speak, the Vine Demon asked with full confidence, "Wasn't it good?"
"....."
"It was definitely good," Mu Anxiao asserted.
The demons burst into tears, pointing at them and shouting, "Get out, get out!"
Hearing their voices, Mu Anxiao and the Vine Demon exchanged glances. Mu Anxiao said, "It's all your fault."
The Vine Demon asked, "What did I do?"
"It's your uncoordinated limbs that ruined my dance and earned it a bad review."
"You... I..." The Vine Demon, who had always believed himself to be coordinated and thought he was the star performer, was truly speechless at Mu Anxiao's words.
Mu Anxiao crossed her arms and glared fiercely at the Vine Demon.
The woman looked at Mu Anxiao's smug expression and said, "It was because of your leadership that he danced so badly."
Mu Anxiao frowned: "You mean my dancing is bad?"
Indeed, like the Vine Demon, she narcissistically believed herself to be the star performer.
"This time, I'll forgive you. If you speak again later," the woman reached out and placed her hands on Mu Anxiao's shoulders, "you can get out."
Mu Anxiao: "....."
Following this, the Vine Demon chuckled unkindly.
Under the woman's warning, Mu Anxiao sat quietly for a full half-hour, not drinking a drop of water or saying a word, watching her performance and applauding.
Because of the previous incident, the Vine Demon sat with her and deliberately mimicked her every reaction.
In response, Mu Anxiao, intimidated by the woman's threat, ignored him.
Feng Qishi sat beside Shen Xian, glancing at the backs of Mu Anxiao and the Vine Demon, sighed, and picked up his teacup to take a drink.
Shen Xian asked, "Junior Brother, how were the performances?"
Feng Qishi whispered, "Not bad."
"It's good that it's not bad. In a moment, you'll be going to catch monsters. Be prepared."
"....." Feng Qishi frowned and turned to look at Shen Xian.
Shen Xian smiled: "You know, the money here is in monsters. You can only leave after catching monsters, otherwise..."
"Didn't you pay for me?"
Shen Xian looked down and smiled: "I don't have that kind of leisure time. In a moment, you and Piao will perform well."
Feng Qishi: "....." He then looked at Piao.
"...." Piao was stunned.
Before leaving the residence, the Vine Demon told Shen Xian about his guarantee to the monsters.
Initially, Shen Xian hesitated, but then he considered the imminent resurrection of Gu An.
He believed that losing one junior brother would not matter!
