Piao and Queen Rabbit looked at Mu Anxiao and exchanged a glance, saying nothing.
At this moment, the woman sat on the ground, crying uncontrollably.
Tian Jiang remained seated, looking down at the woman and saying, "Cry all you want, it's useless. I'm telling you, you are not allowed to bully Xiao Nian, you are not allowed to."
Hearing Tian Jiang's words, the woman cried even louder.
The man in his thirties looked at Tian Jiang helplessly and said, "Sister, please say a little less." He covered his ears.
Tian Jiang looked up at the man and said, "Take her away. Her crying annoys me too." xxs
"Alright, alright." The man in his thirties agreed, then looked at the woman with a stern expression, "Get up."
Startled, the woman immediately shut her wide-open mouth and said, "You're yelling at me."
"Don't embarrass yourself, let's go." The man in his thirties said, turning to leave the room without even glancing at Mu Anxiao.
Just as Mu Anxiao was about to ask for a blanket, she remembered her promise and fell silent.
The woman stood up and, with the help of her maid, left the room.
Mu Anxiao stood up and breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Nian turned to look at the door and smiled.
"What are you laughing at?" Mu Anxiao asked Xiao Nian, confused.
Xiao Nian looked up at Mu Anxiao and said with a grin, "It's the first time I've seen Father call the young madam, and it was so satisfying."
Hearing Xiao Nian's words, Tian Jiang got up and walked to Mu Anxiao's side. She then looked down at Xiao Nian and said, "From now on, you can call me Auntie."
"Why? You're not my mother's sister," Xiao Nian said impolitely.
Tian Jiang crouched down, holding Xiao Nian's shoulders, "You're so thin and small. How about Auntie takes you to eat something delicious later?"
"You're a demon catcher, yet you couldn't even save my mother," Xiao Nian blurted out, unable to hold back.
Mu Anxiao glanced at the stunned Tian Jiang and said, "Xiao Nian, that place is very dangerous. She doesn't have the strength for it. She's not even as good as your mother."
Xiao Nian looked at Mu Anxiao in confusion.
Mu Anxiao said, "Let me tell you, your mother is much more powerful than her. Ordinary demons wouldn't dare to harm your mother, but these small fries like her would die the moment they went in. Do you want to see her die?" She pointed at Tian Jiang.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Nian shifted her gaze to Tian Jiang's face, then paused for a few seconds and said, "No," then added thoughtfully, "I'm sorry, I spoke too abruptly."
"It's me who is useless," Tian Jiang inexplicably began to blame herself.
Xiao Nian said, "Gecko also said that the rabbit demons there are too terrifying, and you're human, so I can understand. But my mother is different from you."
Hearing Xiao Nian's mature words, Tian Jiang couldn't help but smile and then hugged Xiao Nian tightly.
Mu Anxiao watched this scene, then turned her gaze to Queen Rabbit.
Queen Rabbit pointed outside the door and walked ahead.
Mu Anxiao understood, deliberately glanced at Piao, and said, "I need to use the restroom."
"Go ahead," Tian Jiang said with a smile, looking up.
"Take good care of her," Mu Anxiao instructed.
Tian Jiang nodded, "I will."
Mu Anxiao nodded, turned, and walked out of the room.
Piao and Feng Qishi followed her out, while Yan stayed in the room.
Following them to a secluded spot, Mu Anxiao, after confirming no one was around, said, "In your previous life, did Tian Jiang treat Xiao Nian like this?"
Queen Rabbit said, "No, in the end, Tian Jiang only said she was Xiao Nian's auntie, but... Xiao Nian was already dead."
"Did I... hasten the progress of events?" Mu Anxiao asked in shock.
"Yes, I think..." Queen Rabbit said, then suddenly frowned, looked up at the darkening sky, thought for a moment, and looked back at Mu Anxiao nervously, "Things might have to happen sooner."
"Isn't it seven days?" Mu Anxiao asked doubtfully.
"No longer," Queen Rabbit swallowed, feeling the breeze, "It's tonight."
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao's heart sank, and she said, "Don't joke with me." Her eyes began to redden.
"I'm not joking, it's true," Queen Rabbit nodded slightly.
"No..." Mu Anxiao's heart began to pound. She clutched her clothes tightly, stammering, "Three days, one day, do you know how many days difference that is? Six days! It's my fault... I know, this is all my fault." As she spoke, her hands fidgeted aimlessly in front of her, then she squatted down, holding her head, and began to cry with a quivering lip.
Queen Rabbit looked at Mu Anxiao like this, feeling uneasy herself.
"Three days would have been fine too," Feng Qishi said, looking down at Mu Anxiao.
"Yes..."
"It's my fault. If it weren't for my obstinacy, none of this would have happened early," Mu Anxiao cried, "It's all my fault."
"Is it her fault?" Feng Qishi asked.
"Actually," Queen Rabbit looked up at the sky, which had suddenly cleared again, and said, "It was just my guess."
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao's expression froze. She slowly raised her head and asked, "What do you mean?"
Queen Rabbit looked down at Mu Anxiao and gave a dry laugh.
Piao, who had also been affected by the emotion, was now angry hearing Queen Rabbit's words, "Rabbit, is this funny?"
Queen Rabbit pointed upwards and said, "I saw the sky change drastically, so I thought something was about to happen." She paused and added, "The sky that day was like it is now, but... now it's clear, which means my premonition was wrong."
"You scared me to death," Mu Anxiao said, standing up.
Feng Qishi looked at Mu Anxiao's instantly relieved expression in surprise and asked, "Are you okay now?"
"What could be wrong?" Mu Anxiao said impatiently, then thought, "By the way, Tian Jiang recognized Xiao Nian, did it really speed up the progress of events? Is there going to be a problem?"
Queen Rabbit shook her head and said, "There won't be a problem, because Xiao Nian didn't recognize Tian Jiang. Perhaps it was always Tian Jiang's wishful thinking!"
Hearing this, Feng Qishi looked at Queen Rabbit and narrowed his eyes, saying, "Rabbit, please don't be so jumpy in the future. This one can't handle being scared." He pointed at Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao glared at Feng Qishi and said, "Just say one less word."
Feng Qishi took a sharp breath, "Good intentions repaid with ingratitude."
Mu Anxiao indifferently glanced at Feng Qishi and said, "As long as there's no problem, you scared me to death."
"Spend the next few days with her," Piao said.
Mu Anxiao nodded, then suddenly had something in mind and said, "Right, Feng Qishi, I have a question for you."
This time, Feng Qishi put on airs, "You just told me to say less, and now you want to ask a question. Do you think I'll answer you?"
Mu Anxiao was silent for a moment, then grinned, "When did I say that? I never said it!"
"You haven't, but everyone heard it," Feng Qishi pointed at Piao and Queen Rabbit. Search "An Xiao Feng Qi Shi Jie Zhong Wen Xue" on Baidu for the latest chapters.
