However, Feng Qishi did not comprehend Mu Anxiao's current mysteriousness. Instead, after a few seconds of silence, he asked, "If she is a flower, then... do flowers have noses?"
Mu Anxiao's expression stiffened. "If I'm not mistaken," she said, pointing to the damp soil in the corner of the wall, "she has a dog."
"And then?"
"Then, that dog likes to squeeze out from here. This soil indicates that the dog hasn't been gone long, because this is its urine," Mu Anxiao stated calmly.
At first, Feng Qishi hadn't noticed what it was. After Mu Anxiao pointed it out, he suddenly felt a bit disgusted.
"How do you know it's dog urine?" he asked.
Mu Anxiao replied, "Can't you smell the strong scent of urine?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a pungent odor of urine shot into Feng Qishi's nostrils. He immediately pinched his nose and stood up, "Silly Mu, I didn't expect you to be so observant."
"I have to rely on this," Mu Anxiao said, reaching out and unhesitatingly smearing some of the wet mud, soaked by the urine, onto herself. "to mask my immortal aura. Clever, right?" Saying this, she directly smeared the mud onto her body.
Feng Qishi looked at Mu Anxiao's disgusting behavior with a look of utter astonishment, especially at her clothes, which she had deliberately dirtied. He shook his head, "You're too disgusting." He took half a step back.
Mu Anxiao knew Feng Qishi would find her disgusting. However, for the sake of the mission, and to have ample time to understand the fifty demon souls, she had to do this.
"Guard it well," Mu Anxiao instructed, then slowly crawled into the dog hole.
Immediately after Mu Anxiao crawled in, she felt fortunate that she was skinny. Otherwise, it would have been quite difficult for her.
"She's indeed cultivating," Mu Anxiao thought, lying on the ground and looking up at the flowerpot in the center of the courtyard. She quietly stood up.
At the same time, A Xia heard movement outside the house.
"Who?" she muttered, standing up and taking a sniff. She breathed a sigh of relief, "The dog is back." With that, she sat down again.
Mu Anxiao simultaneously glanced towards the room, then walked gracefully towards the Mandarava flower.
Wan Sha, smelling the scent coming from outside, opened her eyes and said, "Dead dog, move aside."
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao took a step back and looked down at the petals of the Mandarava flower, thinking of a way to get it to float towards her. Her heart began to race.
But if she didn't do this, she wouldn't be able to tell Wan Sha what she knew.
At this moment, she felt melancholic.
"Dead dog, step back," Wan Sha said again.
Upon hearing this, Mu Anxiao looked at the slightly swaying petals and consciously retreated several steps. She thought, "I cannot hesitate. If I hesitate, I won't accomplish anything in the end. Yes, I cannot hesitate." With this thought, she took a deep breath and rushed forward, reaching her hand towards the petals.
The next moment, just as her hand was about to touch the petals, white light suddenly scattered around the flower.
Seeing this, Mu Anxiao quickly retracted her hand and stepped back.
From within the flower, Wan Sha opened her eyes and saw Mu Anxiao directly.
"It's her," she muttered, then cast a spell to leave her cultivation place.
Outside, Mu Anxiao looked at the beams of light emanating from the Mandarava flower with astonishment. Her entire nervous system tensed up. "You saw me," she said, her voice trembling slightly.
Immediately, Wan Sha slowly appeared before Mu Anxiao. "What do you want to do?" she asked, her expression flustered.
Mu Anxiao replied, "Only in this way can I tell you what I know."
