"Are we just going to wait like this?" the black-clothed demon said, yawning.
Xu Lanyan looked at the yawning demon and said, "If you want to rest, then rest quickly. Don't disturb them."
"Okay." The black-clothed demon nodded and casually walked to a tree to sit down.
Xu Lanyan calmly glanced at the black-clothed demon, then looked at the rat demons who had started casting spells and said, "I won't disturb you." With that, he walked to Xu Lanyan's side and sat down.
At the Cultivation Sect, Mu Anxiao and the Rabbit Queen had started a good conversation. The Vine Demon looked annoyed at Mu Anxiao, who was getting along well with the Rabbit Queen, and said, "Can you leave now?"
"No, I want to have a long talk with the Queen tonight," Mu Anxiao said, tightly holding the Rabbit Queen's arm and smiling.
The Rabbit Queen looked down at Mu Anxiao and smiled.
The Vine Demon furrowed his brows and said, "Mu Anxiao, come out with me for a moment."
"What for?" Mu Anxiao asked dismissively.
The Vine Demon gave a fake smile, "Just come out when I tell you to. Why so much nonsense?"
"Can I go?" Mu Anxiao asked, smiling and pointing at herself, looking at the Rabbit Queen.
"Go ahead," the Rabbit Queen nodded slightly.
"Alright, I'm going," Mu Anxiao replied with a smile, stood up, and walked in front of the Vine Demon. "Let's go."
The Vine Demon smiled at the Rabbit Queen, then glared at Mu Anxiao, turned, and walked ahead.
Mu Anxiao yawned and lazily followed the Vine Demon's steps.
Outside, the first maid rabbit, upon seeing the figures, quickly closed her mouth, wiped away tears with her sleeve, and opened the door.
The Vine Demon crossed the threshold and walked out without even looking at the first maid rabbit.
The first maid rabbit had never seen the Vine Demon like this, so she was stunned the moment he walked out of the room.
At the same time, Mu Anxiao stopped beside her and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Hearing this, the first maid rabbit quickly reacted and said, "Did you talk to the Queen?"
"Talk about what?" Mu Anxiao asked.
"I..."
"Let's not be so narcissistic. Your Queen didn't mention you at all," Mu Anxiao interrupted, pointing at the Vine Demon's receding back. "Haven't you seen him before?"
"No," the first maid rabbit shook her head.
"It's right that you haven't seen him. Just remember that man's face," Mu Anxiao said, casually putting an arm around the first maid rabbit's shoulder.
The first maid rabbit frowned, "He left too quickly just now, I didn't see his face."
"It's fine, you'll see him clearly when he comes back. He's someone your Queen likes," Mu Anxiao said casually and removed her hand, walking away.
The first maid rabbit was stunned. Just as she was about to mumble, the Rabbit Queen stopped at the door and asked, "What was she saying to you?"
Hearing this, the first maid rabbit quickly turned to look at the Rabbit Queen and said, "Your Majesty, she didn't say anything."
"You'd better not lie to me," the Rabbit Queen warned, pointing at the first maid rabbit.
The first maid rabbit lowered her head, not daring to speak.
The Rabbit Queen glared at the first maid rabbit, turned, and said, "Close the door."
"Yes," the first maid rabbit nodded, stepped forward, and quickly shut the door.
The Rabbit Queen, still with her back to the door, said, "Mu Anxiao, let's see what tricks you can play."
Outside, Mu Anxiao followed the Vine Demon to the place where she had asked Yan to wait for her earlier.
Then, Mu Anxiao stopped and looked around, thinking, "Huh? Where's Yan?"
At the same time, the Vine Demon turned to look at Mu Anxiao, who was constantly looking around, and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao quickly came back to her senses and said, "Nothing."
"It's best if it's nothing," the Vine Demon said, then narrowed his eyes. "Tell me the truth."
"The truth?" Mu Anxiao didn't understand his meaning.
"You don't understand what I mean?" the Vine Demon retorted.
Mu Anxiao shook her head and remained silent.
The Vine Demon swallowed and said, "Have you practiced demon arts?"
"Demon arts?" Mu Anxiao repeated, then laughed. "Can't you tell if I've practiced or not?"
"I can tell you haven't practiced, but I'm very confused. How can you use soul-capturing techniques with me?" the Vine Demon directly voiced his doubt.
Mu Anxiao didn't expect such a prideful person as the Vine Demon to ask her a question. She sneered, "I never considered you a friend from the bottom of my heart, nor do I have demon arts. Naturally, I can't use that technique with you. Think about the rest yourself."
As the Vine Demon listened to Mu Anxiao's explanation, his eyes darkened. "You mean, that rabbit is lying to me."
"No, she's lying to me," Mu Anxiao shrugged.
"She's lying to me," the Vine Demon pointed at himself.
Mu Anxiao looked at the Vine Demon's narcissistic side with helplessness and said, "She's lying to me."
"Lying to me."
"Lying to me."
After this back-and-forth for a minute, Mu Anxiao said hoarsely, "I'm not discussing this issue with you anymore."
"I'm too lazy to discuss it with you either," the Vine Demon said, clearing his throat.
"You still have a voice?" Mu Anxiao asked directly.
The Vine Demon looked at Mu Anxiao with displeasure and said, "What business is it of yours?"
"It's not my business," Mu Anxiao pouted.
The Vine Demon's gaze flickered unnaturally. "You say she's lying to me, or lying to you."
"After a round of boring arguments with you, I've concluded that she's lying to you," Mu Anxiao said, pointing at the Vine Demon.
"But why do I feel like she's lying to you?" the Vine Demon said, putting one hand on his hip.
"Then she's lying to both of us. Hmm, that's not right either. You used the soul-capturing technique, so she..."
"The soul-capturing technique would make her lose her mind, but I noticed that she deliberately ignored me when communicating with you. This proves that she's lying to both of us," the Vine Demon stated directly.
"Why didn't you say so earlier if you figured it out?" Mu Anxiao said with a helpless expression.
"I just thought of it," the Vine Demon said calmly.
Mu Anxiao glared at the Vine Demon and said, "Setting aside other issues for now, why are you here meddling?"
"I need this Rabbit Queen's soul," the Vine Demon directly stated his intention.
Mu Anxiao was also puzzled by this. "Why are you telling me your thoughts?"
"Even if I told you, you wouldn't be able to stop me." With that, the Vine Demon suddenly whistled.
The next second, a black light descended.
Mu Anxiao was startled as the black light gradually took on human form. "What are you doing?"
"This is a soul you captured before. I'm returning it to you, but it depends on whether you have the ability to restore her," the Vine Demon said, then turned and left.
Immediately, as Mu Anxiao was about to turn and leave, the black light that had taken human form said, "Mu Anxiao, do you still remember who I am?"
Hearing the ancient female voice, Mu Anxiao said, "How would I know who you are?"
