The blue-clothed man’s request left Mu Anxiao bewildered.
She was currently in male attire, yet he asked her to look after Chen, who was a female.
What was he thinking?
“Um…” she rubbed the back of her head and asked, “I’m a man, and you want me to look after Chen? Are you sure?”
“If you dare to have any inappropriate thoughts about Chen, you know what your fate will be.”
“Then what about him?” Mu Anxiao glanced sideways at Feng Qishi.
Immediately, the blue-clothed man shifted his gaze to Feng Qishi’s face. “As for him, of course, I’ll treat him well.”
“Then can’t I just follow him?”
“Of course,” the blue-clothed man looked back at Mu Anxiao. “You can’t.”
“Why not?”
“Because I like to use his things.”
However, Mu Anxiao didn’t care about the blue-clothed man’s peculiar habit anymore.
“……”
Although Feng Qishi didn’t know who this blue-clothed man really was, he understood the general meaning from his words.
However, for Mu Anxiao’s safety, he gave up confronting the blue-clothed man and chose to speak reasonably instead.
“Senior Brother,” he said suddenly.
The blue-clothed man, not expecting Feng Qishi to call him that, turned to look at him. “What is it?”
“She…” Feng Qishi took a few steps forward, pointing at Mu Anxiao. “is very clumsy. If she follows you, she definitely won’t be able to take care of Chen. So, let me do it, and give her back to me!”
“She’s clumsy, and you still want her?”
“Yes, I understand the nature of that fool. It wouldn’t be good if she were with you, and besides, she’s sick.”
“Sick?”
“Yes, sick in the head,” Feng Qishi pointed to his own head.
“I don’t believe you,” the blue-clothed man shook his head.
Feng Qishi gave a dry laugh. “She’s really sick. Whenever it’s like this, she acts up and bites people.”
“Bites…” As the blue-clothed man uttered the word, Mu Anxiao, playing along perfectly, leaned down and bit his arm.
Then, her eyes widened, she let out a cry, and with a shove, pushed Mu Anxiao away, holding her arm. “Are you a dog?”
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao leaned against a tree and barked twice.
Seeing this, the blue-clothed man was startled.
“This is her illness. My arms are covered in injuries. If she’s put near Chen, Chen will be pitiful.”
“You want Chen to marry me?”
“Whatever you like.”
Originally, the blue-clothed man thought Feng Qishi was refusing Chen because… he had discovered himself. He never expected that he genuinely didn’t like Chen.
He immediately changed his mind.
“Since that’s the case, you marry Chen!”
“……” Feng Qishi didn’t react for a moment. “Congratulations!”
“I should be congratulating you.”
“Why?” Feng Qishi clearly ignored the blue-clothed man’s words.
Mu Anxiao, however, heard it clearly. She then looked at Feng Qishi, frowned, and grabbed the blue-clothed man’s arm. “He really likes Chen.”
Hearing this, the blue-clothed man was startled and turned to look at Mu Anxiao. “You’re better.”
“What happened to me just now?” Mu Anxiao feigned ignorance.
The blue-clothed man shook off Mu Anxiao’s hand. “You’ve gone mad.”
“……” Mu Anxiao’s mouth twitched. “He really likes Chen, he just doesn’t want to admit it.”
Then, Feng Qishi shot Mu Anxiao a killing glare.
In his opinion, if something didn’t exist, it didn’t exist. He was displeased that Mu Anxiao was talking nonsense like this.
“Can you stop talking nonsense?” he said.
The blue-clothed man looked at Feng Qishi.
Gu Xiao said from behind Feng Qishi, “He asked you to marry Chen. Did you hear him or not?”
Upon hearing this, Feng Qishi stiffened. He then realized Mu Anxiao was helping him, and just as he was about to speak,
Mu Anxiao said, “How am I talking nonsense? You like Chen to the bone! You don’t allow any man to like her in this lifetime, and you’ll be sad if anyone likes her.”
Earlier, Feng Qishi hadn’t clearly heard the blue-clothed man’s words about possession, but Mu Anxiao had understood the blue-clothed man’s true intention.
Therefore, she thought the blue-clothed man’s principle must be to snatch away what Feng Qishi liked and leave what he didn’t.
Then, using such a boring method to provoke Feng Qishi, thereby driving Feng Qishi into despair.
“Do you dare say you haven’t said this?” Mu Anxiao asked again.
Feng Qishi was embarrassed.
The blue-clothed man asked, “Junior Brother, do you really like her?”
“Yes,” Feng Qishi nodded.
Mu Anxiao, seeing him nod and agree, deflated.
“You just denied it,” she said deliberately.
The blue-clothed man glanced at Mu Anxiao. “Alright, let’s go!”
Feng Qishi asked, “Where are we going?”
The blue-clothed man grinned sinisterly. “To watch my wedding, of course.” After saying that, he waved his hand, and the surroundings began to change.
Immediately, the bark of the large tree gradually peeled away, and a blinding light emerged from within.
The blue-clothed man said, “Close your eyes and turn towards the tree.”
“……” Mu Anxiao hesitated for a moment, then closed her eyes and slowly turned towards the tree. “What are you doing?”
“Go in,” the blue-clothed man said, reaching out and pushing Mu Anxiao’s back.
Mu Anxiao’s brows furrowed tightly. Before she could react, she was pushed inside by the blue-clothed man.
In an instant, they all went in.
Mu Anxiao lay on the ground, her eyes still closed due to the blinding light.
Feng Qishi and Gu Xiao were unaffected and stood steadily on the stone path.
Gu Xiao looked at the fence, the bamboo house within, and the surrounding lake and beautiful scenery, swallowing hard, afraid to speak.
Feng Qishi, disregarding everything else, walked to Mu Anxiao’s side and kicked her arm with his foot. “Get up.”
Mu Anxiao said, “It’s too dazzling.”
“It’s not dazzling anymore. Open your eyes,” Feng Qishi crouched down and took Mu Anxiao’s arm.
“……” Mu Anxiao was silent for a few seconds, then slowly opened her eyes. “Oh, my eyes don’t hurt anymore.” As she spoke, she looked closely at the stone path. “That’s why it felt so uncomfortable.”
Feng Qishi: “……” He helped Mu Anxiao up.
The next moment, the blue-clothed man walked out of the light circle.
On their side, a second after they entered, the tree bark sealed itself back, and the surrounding light disappeared.
“Alright, let’s go in,” the blue-clothed man said, flicking his sleeve, and walked to Mu Anxiao’s side.
Mu Anxiao asked, “Is this your residence?” She glanced at the bamboo house surrounded by a bamboo fence.
However, Mu Anxiao had always thought… the demon realm would be incredibly dark, even describable only with words like gloomy and eerie.
Who would have thought that everything before her would appear so peaceful? This made her feel surprised!
