Xier looked with great satisfaction at the frightened Mu Xi and said, "One must be adaptable. Demonic arts and sorcery are much the same. Besides, since the immortals do not accept me, I naturally..." She smiled, "can only accept the help of demons. Don't you agree, Mu Xi?"
Mu Xi had always believed Xier to be a cultivator. Although her actions were ruthless, he thought they were surely related to cultivation. He never expected her to be connected with demons.
Hearing this, he was filled with dread. In his understanding, demons devoured humans.
Here, very few people knew of the immortal cultivation sects, let alone demons. They were merely stories used to frighten children. But now, it had become a reality.
This was something Mu Xi could not accept.
"Do you eat people?" his voice trembled.
"Eat people?" Xier laughed. "What are you thinking? If I ate people, I would definitely..."
"You don't eat people, so why did you bring back all those people who were killed?" Mu Xi deliberately moved a couple of steps away, his whole body beginning to tremble.
Xier: "Are you afraid of me?" Her face darkened.
"I..." Mu Xi dared not lie to Xier and nodded. "I am afraid of you. I always thought you were a cultivator, but who knew... you are a demon. I can't accept it."
"Can't accept it," Xier sneered. "When you considered me your benefactor and said you would marry me, you vowed to be loyal to me no matter what I became. Now, when I tell you I'm connected to demons, you react like this."
"I have never seen a demon, but I have heard stories about them. They..." Mu Xi retreated, accidentally leaning against the wall. "They all died at their hands. You... you venomous woman."
"I am venomous, but you are quite slow," Xier said. "We've been together for so long, and during that time, you've seen me deal with so many people without realizing what I cultivate. It's truly laughable."
"You..."
Mu Xi had no clear understanding of demonic arts versus sorcery. However, after Xier's words, he realized that everything she cultivated seemed to be harmful.
He then thought of the "immortals" spoken of by others, all of whom had stories of benefiting mortals. She, on the other hand, was filled with malice. He was afraid.
"What about you? Finish what you were saying." Xier looked at Mu Xi with interest.
Mu Xi: "I won't marry you anymore."
"What did you say?" Xier's eyes widened.
Mu Xi: "I'll sell Mu Xiaosheng to you. Let me go, okay?"
"Sell me?" Xier pointed at herself, her eyes narrowing. "Yesterday, you and I exchanged vows in front of your relatives, and now you speak like this. What about my reputation?"
"You don't..." Mu Xi pressed himself tightly against the wall, his hands gripping the plaster, and continued, "You want to cultivate demonic arts, right? Then... whoever disobeys you, you kill them. If I... follow you, I'll only become a burden. Don't you agree?"
"You're playing me."
"I'm not," Mu Xi swallowed, his throat slightly dry. "I'm just exchanging terms with you. But if you don't want to give me money, that's fine. I don't need it anymore. Just let me go."
"If your sister knew you were like this, she'd probably kill you."
Although Xier came from an immortal cultivation sect, in her real life, she was an unmarried maiden. The matter of being with Mu Xi was only reluctantly agreed to by her parents after she had confronted them.
Yet, Mu Xi was such a selfish person. Clenching her fists, she glared at Mu Xi and said, "Tell me... what am I in your eyes?"
"You..." Mu Xi gave a dry laugh. "You are a fairy, but... not anymore."
To save his life, Mu Xi decided to speak his mind clearly to Xier. Little did he know, his words struck Xier to the heart.
In short, he was doomed.
"Say that again." Xier gritted her teeth.
Seeing that Xier was not right, Mu Xi subtly drew a dagger from his waist while speaking with a trembling voice, "Let me tell you the truth. I always thought you would be a fairy in the future, which is why I wanted to marry you and be a celestial couple. But... you're cultivating demonic arts now... I'm afraid of you."
"When I was doing those things, you didn't say you were afraid," Xier glared at Mu Xi.
Mu Xi: "At that time, I didn't understand. Now... I understand."
"You... understand. Alright," Xier sneered. "Now I'll make you beg me."
"What are you going to do?" Mu Xi began to prepare his dagger.
Xier shot Mu Xi a glare and shouted towards the door, "Demon, come in and help me, help me..."
As Xier shouted at the door, Mu Xi couldn't help but recall the sound of the door closing just moments ago. His mind went blank, and he yelled, "You shut up."
However, Xier paid no attention to Mu Xi, continuing to shout ecstatically for the demon to save her.
Seeing Xier's unguarded face calling for a savior, Mu Xi's eyes darkened. Anxious, he rushed forward and, without thinking, plunged the dagger into Xier's body.
Xier was startled for a moment, then closed her mouth, slowly raised her face, and looked at Mu Xi in disbelief: "You..."
"You forced me to do this." Mu Xi released his grip and took a step back, looking down at the dagger embedded in Xier's body. "You forced me."
"You..." Xier clutched the dagger, afraid to pull it out blindly, and looked at Mu Xi, tears welling up in her eyes. "Do you hate me that much?"
"You forced me. You let that demon kill me," Mu Xi said. He quickly turned and ran to the door, pulling it open with force. The immortal energy on the door dissipated, and the door opened.
Seeing this, Xier shouted, "If you dare to leave, I'll kill you."
Hearing this, Mu Xi's body stiffened. He turned to look at Xier, who was gripping the dagger, slightly hunched over, glaring at him, and said, "I'll see who dies first, you or me." With that, he crossed the threshold and ran out.
"You..." Xier, covered in a cold sweat and pale, watched Mu Xi's fleeing figure. Gasping in pain, she fumbled in her robes and took out a green pill. As she trembled and put it in her mouth, a cyan light emanated from her body.
The next second, she instinctively closed her eyes and forcefully pulled out the dagger.
Meanwhile.
Mu Xiaosheng and the others arrived at a secluded, deserted alley. Shen Yan appeared with the young Mu Xiaosheng. Mu Xiaosheng then bent down and placed the girl on the ground.
Immediately after, Mu Xiaosheng placed one hand on her hip, straightened up with sweat beading on her forehead, and while transforming herself and the girl back to their original forms, she turned to Shen Yan, who was holding the young Mu Xiaosheng, and said, "She's really heavy. Can you help me go back now?" She completely disregarded the young Mu Xiaosheng's presence, eager to return.
Shen Yan: "No."
