The woman found Mu Anxiao's words reasonable, so she spat out a single word without a second thought: "Deserved."
Yan watched Mu Anxiao's demeanor and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, saying, "She looks so timid."
"She is indeed trying her best to alter the old man's fate," Feng Qishi said with a helpless look at Mu Anxiao's retreating back.
"She cannot change it."
Hearing this, Feng Qishi turned to look at Queen Rabbit standing behind him and asked, "Where did you go?"
Queen Rabbit tilted her head up to look at Feng Qishi and said, "I have to go out again in a moment. If she asks, just say you don't know."
"I don't think she will ask you," Piao said.
Queen Rabbit paused for a moment and said, "Alright, I'm leaving."
"Wait, hold on, I have something to say." Feng Qishi extended his hand.
Upon hearing this, Queen Rabbit stopped her movement of turning and asked, "What else do you have to tell me?"
"What I want to say is, you really didn't need to come back to tell us. It was completely unnecessary," Feng Qishi said with a smile.
Queen Rabbit put on an act of not being embarrassed and said, "Okay, I'm leaving." With that, she turned and left.
Yan said, "Actually, I think you didn't need to say that to her either. It was quite pointless."
Feng Qishi gave Yan a fake smile and said, "You know not to say it either. It's a bit awkward."
"Oh." Yan agreed and giggled twice.
Piao glanced at Feng Qishi and Yan and said, "You two, shut up."
Hearing this, Feng Qishi and Yan looked at Piao in unison and responded, "Okay."
Piao's expression stiffened, "Actually, you didn't need to answer." As he spoke, he turned around and ran right into Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao did not intend to speak to Piao, so she pulled Xiao Nian and walked around him.
Piao froze, turned around, and said, "You two are back together."
Feng Qishi and Yan exchanged a look and turned to follow Mu Anxiao and the others.
Piao rubbed the back of his head and quickly followed.
Soon, they returned to the room. Mu Anxiao sat down at the table with an angry expression, saying, "This is infuriating."
"Auntie, why are you angry?" Xiao Nian asked, sitting beside Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao turned her head and said, "That woman, since she didn't give me the superior quality tea set, how could I not be angry?"
"You wanted a tea set?" Feng Qishi asked, looking down at Mu Anxiao.
"How come I didn't see it?" Piao echoed.
Yan looked helplessly at the two of them asking questions in front of Xiao Nian and said, "We were just communicating about other matters outside, so of course, we didn't see it. Don't ask anymore; it's inconvenient for Mu Anxiao." Saying that, she looked down and gave a silly smile to Mu Anxiao, who was looking up at her.
This time, Mu Anxiao completely disregarded Xiao Nian's feelings and met Yan's eyes, asking, "What were you two communicating about?"
Yan covered her mouth.
Xiao Nian asked, "Auntie, who are you talking to?"
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao calmly looked at Xiao Nian and said, "Xiao Nian, go play outside for a while. I'm talking to my ghost friends."
"Ghost?" Xiao Nian repeated, jumping off the chair rapidly. With a look of fear on his face, he glanced left and right and said, "Auntie, you talk well. I'm going out to play."
"Just by the door, don't go too far," Mu Anxiao reminded.
"Got it," Xiao Nian said, looking around the surroundings once more before quickly running out the door.
Feng Qishi looked helplessly at Xiao Nian's fleeing figure and said, "It's probably not good to scare the child like this."
"Aren't you guys ghosts?" Mu Anxiao asked.
Feng Qishi blinked. Just as he was about to say no, Piao eagerly blurted out, "Yes."
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao smiled at Piao, "You're still the one with self-awareness."
Feng Qishi was speechless towards Piao.
Yan lowered her head.
Then, Mu Anxiao looked at Yan, who had her head lowered, and asked, "What were you communicating about outside? Can you tell me?"
"Do you really want to know so badly?" Feng Qishi asked, frowning at the gossipy Mu Anxiao.
Hearing Feng Qishi's voice, Mu Anxiao immediately put on an impatient look, "I just want to know. Will you tell me or not?" She pointed at Feng Qishi's face.
Feng Qishi looked at Mu Anxiao, whose attitude towards him was completely different from her attitude towards Yan, with astonishment. "What did I do to you for you to dislike me so much?"
"No," Mu Anxiao said coldly.
"Not yet. You are good to her and him," Feng Qishi said, pointing at Piao and Yan respectively, "but you are extremely impatient with me. What do you mean by that?"
"No," Mu Anxiao said again.
"You... do you hate me now?" Feng Qishi suddenly said.
Mu Anxiao looked up at Feng Qishi, who had suddenly said that, and smiled, "If you had this much self-awareness in your previous life, I probably wouldn't have hated him so much."
"I'm talking about me now. Don't stray off topic," Feng Qishi emphasized.
Mu Anxiao said, "I don't hate you; I'm just too lazy to bother with you."
Feng Qishi was relieved that Mu Anxiao didn't hate him and said, "Alright then. You didn't get the tea set and are in a bad mood. I can understand. Just continue being too lazy to bother with me." After saying that, he lowered his head.
Mu Anxiao glanced at Feng Qishi and sighed, "Xiao Nian only has seven days left." Saying that, she looked around, "Strange, why hasn't the rabbit come back yet?"
Piao glanced at Mu Anxiao but said nothing.
Feng Qishi looked at Mu Anxiao's annoyed expression and said, "As long as you stay by Xiao Nian's side, won't that be enough?"
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao looked at Feng Qishi, who had suddenly proposed this idea, and asked, "Strange, you're actually thinking of ways to help me."
Feng Qishi chuckled foolishly, "It's indeed a pity that child Xiao Nian died, so I might as well help you out."
"Not bad, worthy of praise," Mu Anxiao smiled.
Feng Qishi smiled naturally and nudged Yan with his elbow.
Seeing this, Yan quickly smiled and said, "I think Feng Qishi's method is very good."
"Yes, I think so too. I just need to follow Xiao Nian's every step." Saying that, Mu Anxiao glanced at Feng Qishi and asked, "Strange, when I first arrived, I could still interact with you, but now..." As she reached out, her hand passed through Feng Qishi's body, "Why can't I interact with you now?"
"It's because my spiritual energy is not enough, so it's like this," Feng Qishi explained vaguely.
Immediately, Mu Anxiao responded with a very cold "Oh."
Feng Qishi's expression stiffened, "Is that your answer?"
"Yes, what else?" Mu Anxiao asked with a frown.
"I thought you would reply with surprise," Feng Qishi said unnaturally.
"My mind is a mess right now. I don't have the time to give you a proper answer," Mu Anxiao said, feeling inexplicably exhausted and lowering her head.
Piao hesitated for a moment and said, "I think you shouldn't bother with this matter." Search "An Xiao Feng Qi Shi Jie Zhong Wen Xue" on Baidu for the latest chapters available for free reading.
