A Xia shook her head, then nodded.
Immediately, Feng Qishi knitted his brows, deliberately glanced at Mu Anxiao, and said, "Alright then, I'll ask you, did you see, before you, any demon souls come looking for her?"
Listening to Feng Qishi's question, A Xia cooperatively thought about the sound she had heard at the time and actively replied, "I heard it, it was a man's voice."
"A man?" Feng Qishi repeated, sighing, "As expected, they've come."
"What?"
Feng Qishi came back to his senses, shook his head, "It's nothing."
A Xia dared not ask more and turned to Mu Anxiao, saying, "I've really angered her this time."
Feng Qishi asked, "What do you mean?"
A Xia said, "Actually, Wan Sha also saw her true feelings, but I never believed her. Just as she said she was retracting her apology, I suddenly felt... I had truly gone too far."
"You never believed her."
"Yes, I don't know why. Ever since I came out of hell, I felt angry whenever I thought of Mu Anxiao. I didn't have this feeling when I was down below."
Feng Qishi: "....."
"Why aren't you speaking?"
"Hatred is something I can't talk about," Feng Qishi said, stepping towards the bed.
A Xia sighed and turned to look at Lin Yan, who was slumped over the table. "Why is he here?"
"Don't touch him," Feng Qishi said as he walked.
Immediately, A Xia retracted her stepping foot and continued to wait for Mu Anxiao to wake up.
At the same time, Feng Qishi walked to the bedside and bent down to take Chen's wrist.
Then, as Feng Qishi was taking Chen's pulse, Chen suddenly woke up and grabbed Feng Qishi's hand.
Feng Qishi was startled, "You're awake."
Chen said, "You saved me."
Feng Qishi felt uncomfortable and immediately pulled his hand away, saying, "Don't misunderstand, it wasn't me."
"Then who was it?"
Feng Qishi straightened up, glanced sideways at Piao at the other end of the room, and said, "You'll know in a moment, get some more rest!"
"You..."
"Stop with the 'you'," Feng Qishi bent down and pulled the quilt up for Chen, "Rest well."
Seeing Feng Qishi's meticulous care, Chen smiled, "Thank you."
"I am not your savior."
"In my eyes, you are," Chen said firmly.
Feng Qishi's mouth twitched, and he straightened up, "You rest well, I won't disturb you." With that, he turned and walked away.
Chen turned to look at Feng Qishi's retreating back, a shy expression appearing on her face.
A Xia looked at Feng Qishi, who was walking towards her, and asked, "It's Chen?"
"Mhm," Feng Qishi nodded, stopping in front of A Xia.
A Xia said, "Chen, whoever she likes is who she likes. I think," she reached out and patted Feng Qishi's shoulder, "you might have been ensnared."
Ensnared? Feng Qishi wondered how he could have been ensnared. The person who saved Chen wasn't him. According to normal progression, she should have liked Piao.
Therefore, Feng Qishi did not take A Xia's words to heart.
"What do you demon souls know?"
"We don't know anything," A Xia shook her head.
Feng Qishi gave A Xia a sideways glance and strode towards Piao.
Then, A Xia seized the opportunity to turn and walk to the bedside, asking, "Are you okay?"
Hearing this, Chen looked up at A Xia, who was staring down at her, and said, "I heard your voice. You hurt Mu Anxiao."
"You've been awake for a while," A Xia said, sitting on the edge of the bed.
Chen said, "Yes, what did you mean by what you just said to Feng Qishi?"
A Xia said, "You like him."
Chen couldn't help but dart her eyes away, "What does it matter to you if I like him or not? Don't talk nonsense in front of him. Besides, without him, I wouldn't be alive."
"Piao saved you."
Chen: "Piao?"
Since being rescued, Chen had not seen Piao's face clearly. She only felt that someone was meticulously taking care of her. Now, hearing A Xia say this, she was startled.
"How is that possible?" Chen gave a dry laugh.
A Xia said earnestly, "Feng Qishi said it very clearly."
At this moment, Chen deeply heard the displeasure in A Xia's tone towards her. Looking at her serious expression, Chen asked, "What do you mean by this?"
"Feng Qishi likes Mu Anxiao. You'd better not interfere."
From the moment Feng Qishi shouted "Get lost" at her, A Xia was convinced that Feng Qishi liked Mu Anxiao!
Chen waved her hand, "Impossible."
"How is it impossible? Chen, I'm telling you, don't casually fall for others. Doing so will only cause trouble for others."
"How have I caused trouble for others?"
A Xia said, "Before, you were like this."
"Me..."
"That year, you fell for a mortal. That mortal offended you, and afterwards, you ruined his life. Have you forgotten?"
A Xia knew Chen's past better than anyone.
In A Xia's eyes, Chen was just a little demon who liked quickly and hated quickly.
When she liked someone, she could praise them to the heavens. Once that person treated her even slightly poorly, she would find various ways to kill them. Just like she had previously fallen for a scholar, she treated that scholar very well.
In the end, because the scholar lost his temper with her, she caused trouble, making him marry the ugliest and most ferocious girl in the village.
From then on, that scholar lived an unfortunate life.
Of course, the reason A Xia didn't want Chen to like Feng Qishi was purely for Mu Anxiao's sake. She didn't want Mu Anxiao to experience the fate of that scholar.
Although these two things were not in the same category at all, she had to think so!
Chen: "....."
A Xia said, "It seems you've forgotten about this matter."
Chen hesitated, "Feng Qishi is an immortal, and that was a mortal. Can it be compared?"
"You..."
"To be honest, I know that Feng Qishi wasn't the one who saved me. However, from the first moment I saw Feng Qishi, I fell in love with him. It's just that at that time, I hadn't clarified my feelings. Just now," Chen clenched her wrist, "when he held my wrist, I knew for sure."
"You knew for sure what?"
"I knew that I simply liked him," Chen said, then turned over.
A Xia: "....."
At the other end of the room, Feng Qishi clearly heard Chen's voice and knitted his brows slightly. He realized that, just as A Xia had said, he had been ensnared.
At the same time, Piao withdrew his hand and quietly asked, "Brother Shen, do you really like her?" He pointed at Mu Anxiao.
Feng Qishi thought Piao hadn't heard their conversation, but being asked this question, Feng Qishi was embarrassed.
"....." Feng Qishi lowered his head.
Piao smiled, "If you like her, you like her."
Feng Qishi said quietly, "I don't know."
Piao handed the soul sword to Feng Qishi, "A Xia can tell you like her, so I also think... you do like her." He glanced at Mu Anxiao again.
