In the beginning, when Feng Qishi started learning, he didn't really feel like he was imitating himself.
Now, hearing Mu Anxiao say this, he thought about himself over the past period, then looked at Mu Anxiao's face and said, "What you said seems to be true."
"So, I've decided," Mu Anxiao's eyes were firm, "it's better to be myself. It's too tiring to live by imitating Shen Yan. I'm not like him at all."
For a full sixty years, Mu Anxiao had just figured this out in an instant, which surprised Feng Qishi.
"I think you're quite cool like that. It's a bit unaccustomed to me, this sudden change," Feng Qishi's lips curled.
"After I subdue fifty demon souls, I'll change back."
"Didn't you decide to be yourself?" Feng Qishi could no longer fathom Mu Anxiao's temperament.
Mu Anxiao: "When necessary, I'll show my true self. When it's not, I'll have to disguise myself. Besides, it's you, and you like my cool side."
"...." Feng Qishi was momentarily speechless, "As long as you're happy."
"Mm." Mu Anxiao nodded.
Feng Qishi thought Mu Anxiao wanted something. Since she agreed, he really didn't have anything more to say.
"......"
Seeing Feng Qishi silent, Mu Anxiao sniffed the air and said, "The demonic energy isn't from here." As she spoke, she suddenly turned her head and then forcefully pulled Feng Qishi away.
In the next second, a green light whizzed past Feng Qishi and Mu Anxiao's shoulders.
Mu Anxiao breathed a sigh of relief. "That was terrifying."
Feng Qishi, seeing Mu Anxiao's agile movements, couldn't help but sigh, "You're still very capable."
"No, you still have to protect me," Mu Anxiao said, deliberately tightening her grip on Feng Qishi's arm.
Feng Qishi smiled helplessly, "As I said before, as long as you're happy."
Mu Anxiao glanced at Feng Qishi and then began to cautiously sense the movements of the surrounding demon souls.
At the same time, Chen hurried to the outside of the ruined temple.
Unexpectedly, she was spotted by Lin Yan, who had come out to fetch water.
"Miss, who are you looking for?" Lin Yan asked, looking at Chen's retreating back.
Before Lin Yan spoke, Chen hadn't reacted. His words reminded her that due to Yuan Sha's influence, her invisibility spell was sealed, meaning she could be seen by humans.
Helplessly, she had to answer Lin Yan.
"Um," she turned to Lin Yan and smiled, "Excuse me, is there someone named Mu Anxiao here?"
"You're looking for her?" Lin Yan's expression immediately soured.
Seeing Lin Yan's displeasure, Chen's heart clenched. She suddenly remembered the inharmonious relationship between Lin Yan and Mu Anxiao.
But since the words were already out, she couldn't take them back.
So, she intentionally paused for a moment and said again, "I'm looking for Feng Qishi."
The instant Lin Yan heard Feng Qishi's name, he smiled again, "You're looking for Feng Qishi? He..." He peeked into the ruined temple, "I'm really sorry, he's gone out."
"Then... what about Mu Anxiao, who always follows him?"
Lin Yan: "She's gone out too."
Chen replied absently, "Gone out, huh." She lowered her head.
Lin Yan hummed and stepped forward, coming in front of Chen. "Why don't you come inside and wait? The environment inside is very clean."
Chen: "....."
Lin Yan frowned, "Miss, did you hear me?"
"...." Chen thought for a moment, then without another word, she bypassed Lin Yan and ran away.
Lin Yan was stunned. He turned to look at Chen's figure disappearing into the darkness and muttered, "Mysterious girl."
