Mu Anxiao pursed her lips and said, "Right, Yan and the rat demons have started talking. Do you know where the cellar entrance is?"
"This..." The soul spirit stomped her foot and said, "I really don't know."
"You've been here for so long. If you don't know where the cellar is, are you kidding me?"
"I'm not kidding. I truly don't know," the soul spirit said earnestly.
Mu Anxiao looked at the soul spirit's expression and nodded helplessly, "Alright!"
The soul spirit was confused, "Alright what?"
"Well, I'm here anyway. If nothing else, I'll go look for it. That door isn't locked," Mu Anxiao pointed to the woodshed door.
"Then go find it," the soul spirit said.
Mu Anxiao nodded slightly, "You can go. Tell Xu Lanyan if you have time, I'll leave a marker."
"What kind of marker?" the soul spirit asked.
Mu Anxiao thought for a moment, then pointed to her sleeve, "I'll tear off this sleeve as a marker."
"Okay, I got it," the soul spirit nodded. Just as she turned, Mu Anxiao spoke again, "By the way, don't come here if you don't have to. If that big demon is outside, it'll be over."
"I know," the soul spirit glanced back at Mu Anxiao and turned to leave.
Mu Anxiao sighed, stood up, and looked around, saying, "It seems I have something to do. But then again, Yan should have taught me their rat language, wouldn't that be more convenient for me!" As she spoke, she sighed and bent down to search the area.
In the backyard of the cultivation sect, they had already started barbecuing.
"This is delicious," Xu Lanyan said, holding a skewer.
The dog-headed demon watched Xu Lanyan's happy expression and smiled, "My elder brother used to love the meat I roasted the most, but there's no meat here. It would be great if there was meat." He took a bite of vegetables as he spoke.
"I think this is quite good," Xu Lanyan said, holding up his skewer.
"Kid, you must have eaten very few good things," the dog-headed demon said, patting Xu Lanyan on the shoulder.
The second Xu Lanyan finished speaking, a hint of sadness crossed Xu Lanyan's face, "Yes. I originally planned to take my elder brother and younger brothers to taste all the delicacies in the human world, but in the end," he gave a bitter smile, "in the end, I haven't even tasted this."
"From now on, I'll be your elder brother. Whatever you want to eat, I'll take you to eat it. But before that," the dog-headed demon lowered his head, "this face of mine is really a problem when it comes to entering the human world."
"Elder brother, your demon arts are already very advanced. People in the human world won't be able to see you, right?" Xu Lanyan intentionally probed the dog-headed demon's abilities.
"Actually, my demon arts aren't that good. I can't reach the point where mortals can't see me. If I could, my dog face would have been a human face long ago," the dog-headed demon said with a mournful face.
"Elder brother, after this is settled, I will find a way to help you," Xu Lanyan said with a smile.
"You kid are much better than my brothers," the dog-headed demon said emotionally.
The moment the dog-headed demon said this, the young demons all lowered their heads.
The black-clothed demon sitting among the young demons looked at Xu Lanyan and the dog-headed demon sitting in front of the back door and said, "Two brothers, if you block the door like this, I'm afraid they'll come to complain."
"Little Black, what are you worried about?" the dog-headed demon said, pointing at the black-clothed demon.
The black-clothed demon scratched the back of his head and said, "Elder brother, you've already blocked many rabbits outside the door. What will you do when the Queen comes here soon?"
"Who cares? This is my territory now," the dog-headed demon said, pointing at the black-clothed demon, "Little brother, a demon can't be too timid, otherwise, you'll never achieve greatness."
"I understand, elder brother," the black-clothed demon nodded aggrievedly and continued to eat.
The dog-headed demon gave Xu Lanyan a simple smile, "Eat, eat."
"Okay, elder brother," Xu Lanyan agreed and started eating.
The black-clothed demon was still worried that the dog-headed demon would ruin their plans.
At the same time, just as the black-clothed demon had feared, the rabbits that had been refused entry by the dog-headed demon and had entered through the front door, gathered outside the Rabbit Queen's door.
"What's the matter?" the maid rabbit asked them with a puzzled expression.
"We're looking for the Rabbit Queen," said the first rabbit demon.
"The Rabbit Queen is currently handling matters," the maid rabbit said.
The second rabbit demon, seeing the maid rabbit's arrogant and dismissive expression, narrowed his eyes and said, "Wasn't it Hong Yi before? When did you become the Rabbit Queen's personal maid rabbit?"
"Exactly, who are you?" the third rabbit demon chimed in.
As they spoke, the maid rabbit's expression became even more arrogant, "The Hong Yi you mentioned made a mistake and was taken by the big demon. If you want to find her, go ask the big demon first if he agrees."
"You've only just taken office and you're already this arrogant. It seems..."
The first rabbit demon was halfway through his sentence when the second rabbit demon interrupted, "Why waste so much time talking to her? Let's call out."
The first rabbit demon glanced calmly at the second rabbit demon, nodded, and in unison with them, said, "Rabbit Queen, we need to see you. We need to see you."
Hearing their disobedient shouts, the maid rabbit looked at the door with a shocked expression, then turned back to them and said, "Stop shouting, stop shouting."
Inside the room, the Rabbit Queen sat in her chair, looking annoyed at the door and said, "What a bunch of troublesome rabbits." She then stood up and looked at Piao, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, saying, "I'll go stop them."
Upon hearing this, Piao opened his eyes and said mercilessly, "I told you to kill them, will you?"
"There's no need to do that," the Rabbit Queen's eyes darkened.
"I never keep troublesome demons. The sounds of these rabbits," Piao lightly tugged at his earlobe, "are really disturbing me."
"But..."
"If you don't want them to die, lock them in the woodshed. After the afternoon reception, I'll deal with them," Piao interrupted.
The Rabbit Queen nodded slightly, "Yes, I understand."
"Go, I don't want to hear their voices anymore," Piao said.
"Yes," the Rabbit Queen replied respectfully, turned, walked to the door, sighed, crossed the threshold, and coldly glared at the rabbits below the steps who had stopped shouting, saying, "Lai Tu, lock them in the woodshed."
The maid rabbit smiled at the Rabbit Queen's arrangement.
The Rabbit Queen narrowed her eyes, turned her head, and looked at the maid rabbit, asking, "What are you smiling about?"
The maid rabbit was startled and pursed her lips.
"You go too," the Rabbit Queen said, turning away.
The maid rabbit expressed her discontent, "Queen, they didn't listen to me. Why are you locking me up?"
Immediately, the Rabbit Queen, without looking back, coldly spat out a single word: "Scram."
The first rabbit demon, seeing the Rabbit Queen's unruly behavior, couldn't help but say, "Queen, we came because we have something to..."
