In mid-air, Mu Anxiao still looked at Ouyang Ye with suspicion, saying nothing, just waiting to see what else he could say.
"You doubt me." Ouyang Ye saw through Mu Anxiao's thoughts.
"You say you can see everyone's future," she said, shaking her head slightly, "Honestly, I don't believe it."
"Believe it or not, anyway, I'm not interested in the future of others, only your future." Ouyang Ye said in a sickeningly sweet tone.
Mu Anxiao's skin crawled from his words, so she thought for a moment and asked directly, "Speaking of which, do you like me?" xxs壹贰
"I think you like me, you're just too shy to say it." Ouyang Ye said narcissistically.
Mu Anxiao was speechless at this.
On the contrary, Ouyang Ye pressed his advantage, "See? You do like me, you just won't admit it."
"Do you think it's interesting to deceive yourself like this?" Mu Anxiao raised her chin.
"I'm just saying what I see," Ouyang Ye said, glancing again at the giant black bear monster that had calmed down, "I presume you know your own abilities."
"..." Mu Anxiao sensed that Ouyang Ye wouldn't say anything good, so she didn't reply.
Ouyang Ye: "Silence means consent."
"..." Mu Anxiao intensely disliked Ouyang Ye's self-righteous attitude. Frowning, she said, "I didn't consent. I know my own abilities."
"Stop pretending to be strong. Your masters have abandoned you. I advise you to come with me," Ouyang Ye said calmly. "I know you're upset."
Mu Anxiao let out a soft snort, "Why should I be upset?" she asked, starting to feel flustered inside.
Ouyang Ye: "Why else would you be upset? I've made it very clear that your masters have abandoned you. You're useless now, so stop struggling and come back with me." He reached out.
Mu Anxiao frowned, "I'm not struggling, and I'm not upset. In fact, it's good that my masters aren't here, so I can deal with you properly." With that, she suddenly struck out with her palm towards Ouyang Ye's chest.
Seeing this, Ouyang Ye easily dodged.
Mu Anxiao continued.
Below, Xi'er couldn't stand it any longer and walked to the foot of the giant black bear monster, then looked helplessly at Jiong Ye, who stood frozen and smiling at her, saying, "You really came here to complete a mission."
"..." Jiong Ye's eyes flickered as he pointed upwards, "I can't fly up there."
"Can't fly up," Xi'er nodded. "Alright, let's see if *you* can fly." With that, she suddenly tilted her head back to look at the giant black bear monster standing still.
Jiong Ye followed Xi'er's gaze upwards and gave a dry laugh, "Grandma, what are you going to do?"
"Who's your grandma? Now, I'm giving you one last chance. Fly up and lead it away from Mu Anxiao. If you keep stalling," Xi'er said, turning back and slowly reaching her hand towards the giant black bear monster's foot, "I'll pull out its leg hair."
She knew the giant black bear monster was impatient. As long as it had set its sights on food, it wouldn't easily let go.
At this moment, she could tell from the giant black bear monster's continuous movement following Mu Anxiao that it had completely marked Mu Anxiao as its prey.
She also realized that Ouyang Ye hadn't noticed the giant black bear monster's intentions yet. Therefore, she wanted to divert the giant black bear monster's attention to Jiong Ye before Ouyang Ye realized it.
This way, Mu Anxiao would be safe.
Upon hearing this, Jiong Ye laughed.
Xi'er: "What are you laughing at? Is it that funny?" She feigned composure, fixing her gaze on Jiong Ye's face.
Jiong Ye: "I'm laughing. It's so big, and it only has one clump of hair. It probably won't feel any pain, will it?"
"Let's try," Xi'er raised an eyebrow.
"Let's try..." Jiong Ye repeated, continuing to chuckle dryly. "Trying is unnecessary, I think your master can definitely help Mu Anxiao escape this predicament. Me going up would just be redundant." He winked at Xi'er.
Xi'er looked disgusted, "Are your eyes malfunctioning?"
"I..." Jiong Ye felt extremely embarrassed. He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, saying, "No, my eyes are a bit dry and irritated, perhaps due to its influence. It's just too big." He pointed at the giant black bear monster.
Then, Xi'er was too lazy to waste any more words on Jiong Ye. "Go up," she said, pointing upwards.
"I..."
"You just need to lure it away," Xi'er instructed.
Jiong Ye looked bitter, "If I lure it away, it..." He looked troubled, "Didn't you create it? Can't you just use your magic to take it back?"
"I am only responsible for summoning it. Leaving or staying is its own decision," Xi'er said in a low voice.
"This..."
"Go up, lure it to the depths of the forbidden forest. When you get there, keep it occupied for a while, tire it out, and then you can hide. This way," Xi'er said, "it will leave on its own."
"That's not right. If it doesn't see me, it'll definitely go back the way it came. Then, everything I've done," Jiong Ye said, touching the back of his head, "will be in vain."
"Its sense of direction is very poor. As long as you lead it far away, it won't be able to find its way back. So," Xi'er smiled, "don't worry."
"..." Jiong Ye was speechless. He felt Xi'er was lying to him.
However, Xi'er's words were indeed half true and half false.
Besides its poor sense of direction, the giant black bear monster's other abilities surpassed those of other monsters. Especially concerning food, as long as no one interfered, it would lock onto its prey relentlessly.
As for Jiong Ye's life, she didn't take it seriously.
She figured if Jiong Ye were eaten by this monster, Ouyang Ye's plan to absorb Jiong Ye would also turn into a bubble. Of course, even if Ouyang Ye asked, she would just say that the giant black bear monster had taken a liking to him.
By then, Ouyang Ye wouldn't be able to say anything. Perhaps after this incident, he would trust her even more.
However, seeing Jiong Ye's current speechless expression, she started to worry, "Why aren't you speaking anymore?"
Jiong Ye: "I think you're trying to trick me."
"How am I tricking you? I'll tell you the truth," Xi'er began to fabricate, "If you don't help, after this is over, my master will also kill you without mercy."
"..." Jiong Ye was stunned.
"So, if you just listen to me, after the deed is done, you won't be killed, and maybe you'll even gain my master's trust. See? It's a win-win situation."
From the time his family was killed, Jiong Ye had become an ambitious person. After becoming a monster, he was even more ambitious, wanting to destroy all demon souls to mourn his relatives.
However, Ouyang Ye's ideology was completely different from his. If he followed Ouyang Ye, Ouyang Ye would definitely restrict his thinking.
Then his revenge plan would be over.
He was unwilling to accept such a result.
"...."
Xi'er: "What's wrong?" She stared intently at Jiong Ye's face.
