Behind the stall, Gui Xiao and the First Demon Soul squatted on the ground together. The First Demon Soul looked up cautiously at Mu Anxiao’s back on the roof and asked, "Didn't you say she was completely incapable? What’s going on?"
Gui Xiao replied, "I forgot to mention, she dealt with all of the boss's puppets yesterday."
"The green-eyed ones?" the First Demon Soul asked in shock.
"Mm-hmm," Gui Xiao nodded.
The First Demon Soul froze as Gui Xiao nodded in confirmation.
Gui Xiao glanced at the First Demon Soul’s frozen expression and asked, "Why did you suddenly go silent?"
"Those were all puppets he painstakingly cultivated, and Mu Anxiao dealt with them so easily. This shows," the First Demon Soul looked up at the back of Mu Anxiao's head, "that we can't fight her."
"She can't bring herself to do it."
"What do you mean?" the First Demon Soul turned his head to look at Gui Xiao.
Gui Xiao’s lips curved into a smile. "I have a premonition that she feels guilty towards us. Although she says she can be ruthless, but," he shook his head, "she definitely can't bring herself to do it, because of her conscience."
"You're spouting nonsense again."
"Why do you say I'm spouting nonsense?" Gui Xiao asked.
The First Demon Soul said, "Before you gathered us here, how did you guarantee it?"
"I said, we would defeat Mu Anxiao."
"But what about reality? You didn't. Last night, if I'm not mistaken," the First Demon Soul leaned closer to Gui Xiao intentionally, "you ran back here."
"I..."
"You fled in disarray," the First Demon Soul stated definitively.
Gui Xiao’s expression stiffened. He reached out and grabbed the First Demon Soul by the neck. "Say that again, and I'll strangle you."
"I am already dead," the First Demon Soul said without showing any pain.
"You..." Gui Xiao was speechless. He removed his hand and said angrily, "If you're scared, then don't come with me."
"I am scared, but..."
Gui Xiao interrupted, "Scram."
Every demon soul harbored resentment towards Mu Anxiao, and the First Demon Soul was no exception. From the moment he was released by the Vine Demon, he had resolved to deal with Mu Anxiao.
In fact, the First Demon Soul had even prepared for the foolishness of a mutual destruction with Mu Anxiao!
But from the moment he encountered Mu Anxiao, his resolve began to waver.
Memories resurfaced. He recalled Mu Anxiao's past kindness to him and his life in hell. Especially seeing Mu Anxiao's back, so similar to how she used to be, he lost the courage to retaliate.
Gui Xiao looked at the First Demon Soul’s stunned expression and said coldly, "Still not leaving!"
"I'm not leaving."
Gui Xiao said, "If you're not leaving, then fight with me."
"No, I want to talk to her," the First Demon Soul said, preparing to get up.
At the same time, Gui Xiao grabbed his arm. "What do you have to say to her?"
"I was blinded by hatred before. I've realized that she's not as bad as the Vine Demon and you made her out to be."
"She's not that bad, but it was she who caused us to go to hell."
"We did evil deeds, and we must bear the consequences."
"You..." Gui Xiao was rendered speechless by the First Demon Soul's words. He calmed himself and said excitedly, "I understand now."
The First Demon Soul's eyes darted away slightly. "Understand what?"
"You're afraid of her."
"No," the First Demon Soul said, deliberately turning his face away.
"Still denying it? You asked me so many questions, and then you suddenly changed your mind," Gui Xiao raised the corner of his mouth. "You're quite the coward."
"How am I a coward?" the First Demon Soul began to dodge eye contact frantically.
"You're afraid of women, and you're not a coward?"
"I..." the First Demon Soul hesitated to speak.
Gui Xiao stared at the First Demon Soul’s profile with a mocking expression, saying nothing.
On the roof, Mu Anxiao had heard the entire conversation between the First Demon Soul and Gui Xiao. Seeing them now, forgetting the danger and talking so freely, she felt speechless.
Simultaneously, Feng Qishi retracted his bronze bottle, stepped back a few paces, and looked up at Mu Anxiao, asking with his mind, "What are you doing?"
Hearing him, Mu Anxiao quickly withdrew her gaze from Gui Xiao and the First Demon Soul, looked down at Feng Qishi, and said with her mind, "I've found them." After speaking with her mind, she jumped off the roof.
Feng Qishi consciously made way.
Mu Anxiao glanced at Feng Qishi, stepped forward, and went directly to the First Demon Soul's side, deliberately clearing her throat. "Gui Xiao, Gu Xiao, have you two finished talking!"
Gui Xiao was already accustomed to Mu Anxiao's sudden appearances and wasn't surprised this time. He slowly looked up at her.
However, for Gu Xiao, who hadn't interacted with Mu Anxiao for many years, this was a shock.
Especially the moment she spoke his name, his fear of her only increased.
"Hello," Gu Xiao quickly stood up.
Gui Xiao looked at Gu Xiao’s behavior and couldn't help but smile.
Mu Anxiao glanced at Gui Xiao, then at Gu Xiao. "You must be surprised why I know your name, right?"
Gu Xiao nodded.
Mu Anxiao said, "I won't tell you." With that, she looked down at Gui Xiao.
Immediately, Gui Xiao glared at Mu Anxiao, stood up, and said, "Do you want to ask me if I set that up for you just now?"
Mu Anxiao closed her eyes and said, "Yes."
"It was me," Gui Xiao said. He pulled Gu Xiao, who was blocking him, aside, stepped forward to Mu Anxiao, and said, "However, I didn't expect you to be so lucky."
Seeing this, Feng Qishi clenched his fists.
"My luck is good, but I don't have as many tricks as you," Mu Anxiao said, tightening her grip on the silver rope in her hand.
"..." Gui Xiao.
Mu Anxiao asked, "Why aren't you talking anymore?"
Gui Xiao said, "What's there to say to you?" He shot Mu Anxiao a sideways glance, then scanned the surroundings and shouted, "Why are you all hiding? Come out."
Instantly.
"......" The surroundings were silent.
Gui Xiao felt confused by this and shouted again, "Come out."
Feng Qishi initially didn't want to get involved, but seeing Gui Xiao’s arrogant demeanor, he didn't want to remain silent any longer. He deliberately moved to Mu Anxiao's side. xxsyi
Mu Anxiao calmly glanced at Feng Qishi, remaining silent.
Feng Qishi said, "You're called Gui Xiao."
"We've met."
"You were the male demon soul possessing that woman yesterday. I know," Feng Qishi said calmly.
"You're going to interfere?"
"I see you're not afraid of me."
"I am..."
As Gui Xiao uttered two words, Gu Xiao quickly said, "Don't kill me."
The next second, Feng Qishi shifted his gaze to Gu Xiao’s face and asked, "Are you one of those fifty demon souls?"
"Yes," Gu Xiao's voice trembled.
"It seems," Feng Qishi said, deliberately grabbing the back of Mu Anxiao's collar, "you are very afraid of me." After speaking, he pulled Mu Anxiao back, released her, and moved to block in front of her.
Mu Anxiao was stunned for a moment and dared not speak!
