The next second, Mu Anxiao shamelessly asked, "Why aren't you praising me?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Qishi's expression stiffened, but considering the current situation, he could only offer her encouragement.
Thus, he insincerely said, "You are truly formidable. Your immortal energy is sufficiently potent; any monster within several hundred miles would tremble at your presence."
Mu Anxiao relished the feeling of being praised, so the moment Feng Qishi uttered those words, she released her grip.
Feng Qishi blinked in surprise, "Why aren't you holding me anymore?" He looked down at his arm.
Once praised, Mu Anxiao became flustered and lighthearted. Naturally, after Feng Qishi's commendation, she no longer felt afraid.
"I am also an immortal. Although I am an immortal, these..." Before she could finish, a gust of cold wind blew, causing Mu Anxiao to quickly grab Feng Qishi's arm again: "I understand now."
Feng Qishi gained a new understanding of Mu Anxiao's rapid change of demeanor. He swallowed and patiently asked, "What is it that you understand now?"
"They are afraid of you," Mu Anxiao deliberately pressed her face against Feng Qishi's arm.
This was exactly what Feng Qishi wanted to hear, so he smiled and said, "It's good that you know."
"You're really quite immodest," Mu Anxiao tilted her head up to look at Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi replied, "I learned it from you."
"...." Mu Anxiao.
Seeing Mu Anxiao rendered speechless, Feng Qishi simply scanned the surroundings and called out, "How long do you intend to stall before you show yourselves?"
Mu Anxiao was genuinely startled by Feng Qishi's audacious question.
"Don't speak! The enemy is hidden, and we are exposed. If you provoke them, it will do us no good," she whispered.
However, Feng Qishi completely ignored Mu Anxiao and continued, "If you don't come down, I will hunt you to the last." As he spoke, he raised two fingers and began to hold his breath to cast a spell.
Mu Anxiao looked at the blue light emanating from Feng Qishi's fingertips with astonishment and asked, "What are you doing?"
Feng Qishi: "......"
"Why aren't you responding to me?"
Immediately after, Feng Qishi turned his face towards Mu Anxiao and motioned for her to be quiet with a "shush."
Seeing this, Mu Anxiao bit her lip to contain herself.
The next second, Chen's voice suddenly rang out, "Mu Anxiao."
Upon hearing the voice, Feng Qishi's brow furrowed tightly.
Mu Anxiao looked up at Feng Qishi with a simple smile, then turned her gaze towards Chen, who was running towards them, radiating a faint demonic aura. Her heart sank.
"It's Chen," she murmured.
Feng Qishi sneered, "What is she here for?" As he spoke, he glanced back, and the soul spirits on the tree branches all flew away.
At the same time, Chen ran up to them, "You're here."
Mu Anxiao asked, "Why did you come?"
"I..." Chen paused, sniffed the air, and said, "Not good, they've already arrived."
Mu Anxiao frowned, "Who?"
Chen said in a low voice, "According to the news, fifty soul spirits are coming. After I found out, I snuck out to find you. I didn't expect you to not be in the ruined temple, so I followed my intuition and found you here."
Hearing Chen's thoughtful warning, a warm current flowed through Mu Anxiao's heart.
Feng Qishi sighed, "Because of you, they all ran away."
Upon hearing this, Chen finally noticed Feng Qishi's presence and then hurriedly looked up at him, asking, "They all ran away, you... you knew?"
"....." Feng Qishi nodded slightly.
Mu Anxiao released her grip and said, "We were just about to begin."
Chen replied, "I thought you didn't know."
Feng Qishi stated, "Although those guys fled due to your appearance, considering you came to help us, we won't say anything more."
