Yan heard this, opened her eyes and said, "Who told you to kick me?" She ignored the red-clothed rabbit spirit standing beside her.
Mu Anxiao sat up, and like Yan, ignored the red-clothed rabbit spirit. She pointed at Yan unhappily and said, "I didn't even touch you, and you kicked me. I just hugged your leg, and you had to do this."
"You kicked my arm," Yan said, still lying there, half-closing her eyes lazily.
"May whoever kicked your arm die a horrible death," Mu Anxiao said agitatedly.
However, the second Mu Anxiao uttered these words, the red-clothed rabbit spirit turned red in the face and kicked Yan's arm again. "I did the kicking, so what?"
Upon hearing this, Yan suddenly woke up and glanced at the red-clothed rabbit spirit, smiling foolishly and saying, "Hello there."
"Sit up," the red-clothed rabbit spirit commanded sharply.
"Okay." Yan dared not disobey and obediently sat up.
Mu Anxiao glanced at Yan and stood up without a word.
The red-clothed rabbit spirit glanced at Mu Anxiao and said, "Stand up."
"Okay," Yan responded lazily, stood up, and walked to Mu Anxiao's side.
"Queen Rabbit wants to see you two useless people," the red-clothed rabbit spirit said.
"If we're useless, what's the point of seeing us?" Yan muttered.
Mu Anxiao whispered, "You'd better say less."
"Oh," Yan replied lazily.
"A big demon is coming today, and we're short-handed. You two help serve the dishes," the red-clothed rabbit spirit said.
Mu Anxiao curled her lips.
"We're serious offenders," Yan suddenly said.
The red-clothed rabbit spirit frowned. "What do you mean?"
"I mean, if we help, will our sentences be reduced?" Yan asked in a fawning tone.
Mu Anxiao, too lazy to deal with the rabbits, said nothing more.
"No, let's go," the red-clothed rabbit spirit said and turned to leave first.
"Did you think of anything?" Mu Anxiao asked softly, watching the red-clothed rabbit spirit depart.
Yan's face stiffened. "I thought of it yesterday, but I slept and forgot again." She touched the back of her head.
Originally, Mu Anxiao had intended to use Yan, but after hearing Yan's words, she abandoned the idea.
"Stick with me for a while," she said.
Yan's eyes lit up. "Did you think of a way?"
"No, but you'd better not smile later. Just like me," Mu Anxiao pointed to her own face, "keep a straight face."
"Why?" Yan asked foolishly.
Mu Anxiao turned her face and smiled at Yan. "If you smile, will they let you live?"
Yan thought about the red-clothed rabbit spirit's attitude just now and shook her head. "No."
"Then that's right," Mu Anxiao shrugged, glanced at the open door, and added, "Call me Master later."
"For..."
"Listen to me," Mu Anxiao interrupted.
Seeing Mu Anxiao looking so confident, Yan nodded.
The next second, the red-clothed rabbit spirit stopped impatiently at the door, looking at the two still standing there motionless, and said, "What are you two doing?"
"I..."
As soon as Yan uttered a word, Mu Anxiao elbowed her and said coldly, "Didn't you tell us to stand here?"
The second Mu Anxiao spoke, the red-clothed rabbit spirit's eyes flickered, and she said unnaturally, "I didn't say that."
"Oh, I'll just assume you didn't say it," Mu Anxiao replied and walked ahead.
Yan glanced at the red-clothed rabbit spirit's completely changed attitude and secretly smiled, deliberately calling out, "Master, wait for me."
The red-clothed rabbit spirit's body stiffened. She stepped forward, blocking Mu Anxiao, and asked, "When did she become your disciple?"
"Always," Mu Anxiao stopped.
"Is that so?" the red-clothed rabbit spirit said unnaturally, her face showing a hint of embarrassment. "Then, let's go." With that, she turned and walked away first.
"Mm," Mu Anxiao nodded, turned her face to Yan, and raised an eyebrow.
Yan gave Mu Anxiao a thumbs-up.
At the inn, Feng Qishi sat up, looking at both sides in a daze. Then he looked down at Shi Yi, who was still sleeping with his head on the table, and said, "How did I fall asleep?" As he spoke, he removed the blanket draped over him and looked up at the proprietress, who had walked over and was pouring him water. "Did you get this for us?"
"Mm, it was a bit cold then, but seeing how soundly you were sleeping," the proprietress glanced deliberately at Shi Yi, who was snoring, "I didn't want to wake you."
"Thank you," Feng Qishi said politely and picked up the teacup.
"It's been all night, and still no news," the proprietress said, putting down the teapot.
"Nothing will happen, for sure," Feng Qishi said confidently.
"Mm, definitely not," the proprietress nodded and walked away.
At the same time, Shi Yi suddenly sat up, looking at Feng Qishi in a daze. "You gave me a sedative, didn't you?" he said, pointing at Feng Qishi's face.
Feng Qishi's mouth twitched. "Are you crazy? You can't stay awake yourself and blame others. You really are a rat spirit."
"When did I fall asleep?" Shi Yi pointed at himself and casually pulled the blanket off his shoulders.
"I don't know," Feng Qishi said, picking up the teapot and filling Shi Yi's empty cup in front of him.
"I'm going to wash up," Shi Yi said, smacking his lips.
"Drink some water first," Feng Qishi pointed at the cup in front of him.
"I don't..."
"Drink it or not?" Feng Qishi's eyes were filled with resentment.
Seeing this, Shi Yi quickly picked up the cup and said, "How could I not drink the water you poured for me?" He took a sip. "It's warm."
"The proprietress poured it," Feng Qishi said.
Shi Yi smiled. "The proprietress is so thoughtful." As he spoke, he shifted his gaze to the proprietress behind the counter.
Seeing Shi Yi's smile, the proprietress couldn't help but shudder. "You'd better not smile."
Feng Qishi looked at Shi Yi's creepy smile and said, "Indeed, you'd better not smile."
Hearing this, Shi Yi turned his smiling face to Feng Qishi and asked, "Don't I look good when I smile?"
"No," Feng Qishi forced himself to shake his head and said, "You look incredibly charming when you smile."
"Then if I smile at Mu Anxiao like this, will she be captivated by me?" Shi Yi asked foolishly.
"She'll slap you hard," Feng Qishi said, putting down his cup and standing up.
Following that, Shi Yi conveniently withdrew the smile from his face and said, "That's true. She likes you, so if I smiled like this, she would indeed have the urge to slap me."
The second Shi Yi said this, Feng Qishi's face turned guilty, and he lowered his head.
Shi Yi stopped smiling.
A young man holding a rag walked up to them and looked down at the table. "You two are really something, being able to sleep in this environment."
