Feng Qishi did not care whether Piao would reply, for his attention was entirely on Mu Anxiao.
On the rooftop, Mu Anxiao looked seriously at the orderly rows of flowers and leaves waiting to attack her. "I won't harm you, so don't harm me," she said.
The flowers and leaves swayed in the wind for a moment.
Mu Anxiao frowned. "What do you mean?"
"....." the flowers and leaves.
Indeed, talking to humans was one thing, talking to ghosts was another, but what could one say to plants? Mu Anxiao didn't know, but at this moment, she knew she had to tame them. Only then could she communicate with Wan Sha.
So, she slowly raised two fingers and pointed them at the flowers and leaves, while mentally recalling all the flowers she knew and searching for their weaknesses.
Then, she tried to control them with her mind.
Below, Wan Sha suddenly frowned. Her hands trembled slightly, and she thought, "What's going on?" As she spoke, she increased her mental power.
At the same time, Mu Anxiao said, "Hellflowers, you should grow in hell. Are you truly willing to be commanded by these sunflowes?"
The flowers and leaves remained still.
Mu Anxiao watched their calm posture and felt some of the tension in her heart relax.
Then, she continued to control them while searching for their weaknesses.
Ten minutes later...
Despite her disdainful efforts, Wan Sha regained control of the flowers and leaves.
Seeing this, Mu Anxiao slowly stepped back. "As expected, I can't control you for long with my mind," she said, then forcefully waved her hand in front of her.
A barrier shimmering with blue light appeared before her.
At the same time, the flowers and leaves shot out and firmly embedded themselves in the barrier.
Mu Anxiao smiled. "Master was right, one must not be impatient." With that, she turned and flew off the rooftop.
Then, the moment she landed, the barrier shattered and exploded.
The flowers and leaves changed direction and once again chased after Mu Anxiao.
This time, Mu Anxiao was not as afraid of them. She turned and began to flee.
A few minutes later... she jumped onto a tall tree and hid behind a branch, observing the flowers and leaves darting around Wan Sha. She thought, "So that's how it is. They chase me according to Wan Sha's line of sight. As long as Wan Sha can't see me, they can't see me." Thinking this, she conjured her celestial book, flipped through it quickly, and thought, "Alright, I'll have to eliminate them one by one."
Outside the mansion, Feng Qishi looked up at Mu Anxiao hiding in the tree branch and sighed.
Piao heard Feng Qishi sigh and saw Mu Anxiao's cautious movements. A smirk played on his lips, and he deliberately shouted, "On the tree, on the tree!"
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao was startled. She turned her head and saw Piao outside the mansion, looking at her with a mocking expression.
At this moment, she began to dislike him.
Wan Sha heard Piao's voice, raised her eyes to look at Mu Anxiao, and shouted, "Go."
Immediately, the flowers and leaves flew towards Mu Anxiao.
Seeing this, Mu Anxiao swiftly jumped down from the tall tree and began a new round of being chased.
Outside the mansion, Feng Qishi nudged Piao with his elbow. "Shut up."
Piao smiled. "....."
Feng Qishi glared at Piao.
Piao continued to smile.
The time was drawing nearer, and Mu Anxiao was tired of running.
"I'm not running anymore, I'm not running anymore." She stopped in front of the gate, looking at the flowers and leaves that had stopped targeting her. She raised two fingers, rapidly recited a few lines from her celestial book in her mind, then extended her two fingers towards a patch of flowers and leaves opposite her. "It's you."
