"Why can't they see me?" Pia asked.
Mu Anxiao gave an awkward chuckle and said, "I remember after the regulations were revised, high-level demons and mortals here are invisible. By that logic, shouldn't they not see you?" As she spoke, she cautiously glanced at the women who had turned to look.
Following Mu Anxiao's gaze, Pia indifferently swept a glance at the women and said, "If I want them to see me, they naturally will."
Hearing Pia's explanation, Mu Anxiao, thinking of Pia's identity, let out a dry laugh and said, "That's right, who are you? You can be very powerful..." She then whispered two words, "Demon Lord."
"What did you say?" Pia asked.
Mu Anxiao shook her head, "Nothing, I just suddenly felt you were truly powerful." She gave a thumbs-up.
"I hate people who flatter," Pia said, looking down at Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao's expression froze.
Pia sneered at Mu Anxiao, her hands behind her back, and walked forward.
Mu Anxiao glanced left and right at the passersby, thinking, "Strange, following him, why do I always think of that annoying Shen Yan," she said, taking a sharp breath, "It's truly uncomfortable."
"What are you thinking about?"
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao looked up at Pia, who was looking at her from the side, and said, "Nothing." As she spoke, she quickly caught up to him.
Pia looked down at the rushing Mu Anxiao and said ominously, "You'd better stick close to me, otherwise, if I get unhappy and have murderous thoughts, don't regret it then."
The moment Pia mentioned killing, Mu Anxiao's heart sank. She then forced herself to smile broadly at Pia, "I will definitely stick close to you, stick close to you, killing isn't fun."
"I don't find it that fun either," Pia nodded and walked ahead.
Mu Anxiao followed closely.
In a blink of an eye, they arrived outside the inn. Mu Anxiao looked up at the familiar inn door and asked, "What are we doing here?"
"Let's go in," Pia said, gesturing inside.
"Me first?" Mu Anxiao pointed at herself.
"Otherwise?" Pia said with a forced smile.
Mu Anxiao blinked unnaturally, thinking of Feng Qi Shi and Shi Yi, and her heart grew more uneasy.
"Um, I don't think the food here is good," she said uncomfortably.
Pia looked down at Mu Anxiao's face and said, "Are you hiding something from me?"
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao quickly shook her head, "How dare I hide anything from you."
"Go," Pia spat out the word coldly.
Mu Anxiao swallowed and stepped over the threshold, walking in.
Pia followed.
Seeing Mu Anxiao arrive, the waiter hurried forward and asked, "How many?"
Mu Anxiao felt relieved that the waiter didn't recognize her and said, "Two. Can we have a room? My young master doesn't like to eat here."
"Alright, but the room might be a bit expensive," the waiter said.
"Expensive," Mu Anxiao repeated, then glanced at Pia, "Young master, shall we go to the room?"
"Right here," Pia said.
Mu Anxiao's heart clenched. She feared the consequences if she disobeyed him.
"Then as you wish," she said, turning back to the waiter, "Let's stay here then."
"Alright, I'll get you the menu right away," the waiter said, turning and running towards the counter.
Mu Anxiao lowered her eyes, turned, and said with a playful grin, "Let's just sit here." She pointed at the square table.
Pia said nothing, stepped forward, and sat on a chair, saying, "Do you feel it?"
Mu Anxiao bent down to pull out a chair and asked, "Feel what?"
"The rabbit spirit," Pia said, looking up.
Mu Anxiao frowned and sat down, "No."
"Aren't you good at sensing? Are you playing dumb with me now?" Pia said, looking around.
"I'm a waste, I..."
"Seeing through the weaknesses of demons is your specialty," Pia interrupted.
Mu Anxiao stiffened and said, "I can, but that depends on the time. I can't sense it at this time, and my abilities are limited. I've already used them up today. Um, maybe another day."
"Can you see through my weaknesses?" Pia asked, completely ignoring Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao pursed her lips, then looked up at the waiter who had stopped by the table and said, "Pour tea for my young master first."
"Yes," the waiter nodded, picked up the teapot, and filled the cup in front of Pia.
Pia's gaze remained fixed on Mu Anxiao.
Then, Mu Anxiao deliberately avoided looking at Pia and said, "I don't want tea, I'll drink water."
"Alright," the waiter replied, placed the menu in front of Mu Anxiao, "You can look at it first."
"Okay, thank you," Mu Anxiao said politely.
The waiter said, "You're welcome," and walked away with the teapot.
Mu Anxiao let out a sigh of relief and opened the menu, "Young master, what do you want to eat?"
Pia, seeing Mu Anxiao deliberately changing the subject, narrowed his eyes and said, "If you don't answer me, I'll go kill that boy who interrupted your answer right now."
"I..." Mu Anxiao said, putting down the menu and looking at Pia for a few seconds, frowning, "I can't see."
"I thought you were so powerful, but you're just like this after all this time," Pia said, picking up his teacup.
Mu Anxiao sniffed the air and said, "You've hidden your demonic energy."
"Say what you should say, and don't say what you shouldn't," Pia said, taking the teacup away from his lips.
Mu Anxiao sighed and asked while looking at the menu, "Do you eat spicy food?"
"I don't eat," Pia said.
Mu Anxiao was stunned and asked, looking up, "Then what are we doing here?"
"I'm just looking for the rabbit spirit. If you want to eat, order for yourself," Pia pointed at Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao twisted her mouth and asked, "If I order, who's paying?"
"You," Pia said.
Mu Anxiao didn't expect such a ruthless demon lord to be so stingy. She then put down the menu and said, "I don't have money."
"What do you mean by that?" Pia asked.
Mu Anxiao dared not avert her gaze, staring steadily at Pia, "What I mean is, I don't have money, so naturally, I can't order these things to eat."
"I'll lend it to you," Pia said generously.
Mu Anxiao lowered her eyes and said, "I don't have money to pay you back."
Hearing Mu Anxiao's words, Pia couldn't help but curve his lips, "If you can't pay me back, you can use your life."
The moment Mu Anxiao heard "life," and saw the sly expression on Pia's face, her scalp went numb. She said, "Then I'd better work hard to pay you back!"
"Your life is only one day, what's the use of your efforts?" Pia asked.
"I... I... then..." Mu Anxiao lost her nerve, "Then I won't eat." She stood up.
"If you dare to leave, just wait for me," Pia put down his teacup, deliberately rubbed his hands together, and smiled at Mu Anxiao.
