"How can I comfort you?" Mu Anxiao asked.
"You..." Chen uttered a single word, glancing at Feng Qishi, who was staring at her, and said, "Can you stop being so indifferent? Don't you think I'm pitiful?"
Pitiful, Mu Anxiao didn't think Chen was pitiful. Instead, she was curious about Piao's true identity. She felt Chen was quite lucky, at least Piao spared her life and didn't revert her to her original form. Therefore, she didn't want to say anything more.
"..."
Seeing Mu Anxiao's deliberate silence, Chen asked, "Don't you think I'm pitiful?"
"Do you know his identity?" Mu Anxiao suddenly asked.
Seeing Mu Anxiao's serious demeanor, Chen shook her head, not daring to say anything.
Mu Anxiao said, "He is a demon. Do you know what a demon is?"
Demon, to all demons, was a terrifying synonym. The moment Chen heard Mu Anxiao utter the word, her body froze.
"You... you said he's a demon?"
"Yes."
"Then... can I not kill him?"
"No."
"My revenge can't be avenged."
"No."
"I..."
At the same time, Feng Qishi was exasperated by their drawn-out conversation.
He then deliberately interrupted, "What 'I'? Anyway, in conclusion, you are no match for Piao. If you insist on a direct confrontation, the outcome..." He pursed his lips and smiled, "will be quite unsightly."
Upon hearing this, Chen instantly felt the strong immortal aura emanating from Feng Qishi. She then fixed her gaze on his face, "Help me."
"How can I help you?" Feng Qishi asked.
"You are a great deity," Chen said, her eyes filled with respect for Feng Qishi, "You can definitely help me get rid of that guy."
Getting rid of, this word was easy to say but incredibly difficult to do.
Mu Anxiao knew this better than anyone. Ten years ago, she thought the same. She believed she could subdue the more than two hundred demon souls quickly. Little did she know, in ten whole years, she had only managed to subdue twenty. Thinking of this number, she smiled at Chen's innocent words.
At the sound, Feng Qishi and Chen simultaneously turned their attention to Mu Anxiao.
Feng Qishi asked, "What are you smiling about?"
Mu Anxiao calmly glanced at Feng Qishi, then shifted her gaze back to Chen, "You think he can easily get rid of Piao? You're too naive."
"You..."
"Don't you realize how lucky you are?" Mu Anxiao interrupted.
However, Chen didn't feel lucky at all; on the contrary, she felt unfortunate.
"..." Chen clenched her fists.
Mu Anxiao knew Chen would fall silent and become angry at her words.
"You want to hit me?" she asked.
Chen nodded, but the tightly clenched fists loosened.
Mu Anxiao calmly looked at Chen's relaxed hands and said, "Say what you want to say."
"Why do you say I'm lucky?"
"Piao is an utterly wicked fellow with extremely sinister methods. He met you but didn't kill you, only drained a bit of your demonic energy and didn't revert you to your original form. You tell me..." Mu Anxiao raised an eyebrow, "Are you lucky or unlucky?"
Originally, Mu Anxiao wanted Chen to comprehend theιη herself. But since Chen had asked, she couldn't help but explain.
"..." Chen fell silent.
Feng Qishi looked at the silent Chen, then at Mu Anxiao, and smiled with his head lowered.
Mu Anxiao glanced at Feng Qishi and asked, "What are you smiling about?"
"You're starting to think, that's good." Feng Qishi nodded slightly.
"Tsk." Mu Anxiao rolled her eyes at Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi raised an eyebrow at Mu Anxiao, then looked at Chen again, saying, "Not many demons can reach your level."
Hearing this, Chen looked at Feng Qishi, "What do you mean by that?"
Feng Qishi spread his hands, "It means nothing."
"You..."
As Chen uttered a word, Lin Yan returned.
"What happened to them?" Lin Yan walked forward and looked down at the four beggars lying on the ground.
Mu Anxiao noticed Lin Yan ignoring Chen and became confused.
Feng Qishi glanced at Chen, who stood calmly in place, and walked a few steps away.
Chen looked at Lin Yan, stepped behind Feng Qishi, and asked, "Do you have something to tell me?"
"They can't see you. Your demonic arts are quite impressive," Feng Qishi said without turning his head.
Chen had never paid attention to her demonic arts. Now, hearing Feng Qishi's words, her eyes lit up. She quickly moved in front of Feng Qishi and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"Idiot," Feng Qishi uttered two words.
Chen frowned.
For ordinary demons, they could only become invisible after reaching a certain level. Of course, if they wished to be seen, they could, it just depended on whether they wanted to.
As Feng Qishi said, Chen had already reached this level, she just didn't know it herself.
Due to his status, Feng Qishi couldn't explain too thoroughly, so he turned and walked away.
Chen stood in place, completely bewildered, pondering Feng Qishi's words.
Feng Qishi returned to Mu Anxiao's side and asked, "Why aren't you speaking?"
At this moment, Mu Anxiao was still immersed in why Lin Yan couldn't see Chen. Thus, she hadn't responded to Lin Yan. When Feng Qishi called her, she immediately snapped back to attention, looked up at Lin Yan, and asked, "What are you asking?"
Lin Yan pointed to the four beggars lying on the ground, "What happened to them?"
"They fainted from fright," Mu Anxiao said casually.
Feng Qishi, worried that Lin Yan might press for details, said before Lin Yan could speak, "I scared them unconscious."
"You?" Lin Yan looked at Feng Qishi with a flattering smile.
In just two days, Lin Yan and the others had been worshipping Feng Qishi's portrait.
Consequently, they believed their lives improved because of Feng Qishi. Therefore, in Lin Yan's eyes, Feng Qishi was sacred.
"It's nothing, they'll wake up soon," Feng Qishi said.
Lin Yan nodded.
Mu Anxiao looked up and coldly stared at Lin Yan, asking, "Why didn't you ask him directly?"
For the past two days, Lin Yan had been displeased with Mu Anxiao because he thought she wanted to take over his dilapidated temple. Thus, he deliberately attributed all the bad things to Mu Anxiao.
Just now, when he returned and saw the four beggars, his heart leaped with joy, as he wanted to use this incident to erase Mu Anxiao's standing in the eyes of the beggars.
Who would have thought... this matter had nothing to do with her? Hence, he felt awkward from the bottom of his heart.
"I wanted to ask you," he said uncomfortably.
Mu Anxiao had long seen that this fellow held prejudice against her.
In other words, she had seen it from the moment he rushed back to question her, but... she didn't want to expose him because she wanted to capture demon souls.
With the intention of not exposing Lin Yan, Mu Anxiao pointed at Feng Qishi, "He answered. I don't need to answer, right?"
