Mu Anxiao looked around and said, "With you all here, what do I have to fear?" As she spoke, she glanced at Shi Yi, who was no longer holding Feng Qishi's arm.
Shi Yi looked at Mu Anxiao with a moved expression and said, "Thank you."
"Your greatest thanks would be if you stopped bothering me," Mu Anxiao said, turning her gaze back to the mist. "Tell me, how do we get in."
"Eat this." Shi Yi opened his palm, revealing several red pills.
"Aren't they poisoned?" the man in green asked, looking at the red pills in Shi Yi's hand.
Shi Yi looked at the man in green helplessly and said, "If I wanted to harm you, I would have done it long ago."
"That's true," the man in green replied, reaching out and taking a pill.
Mu Anxiao glanced at Shi Yi, then reached out and took a pill, popping it into her mouth without a word.
Feng Qishi looked at Mu Anxiao's action in astonishment and asked, "Why didn't you smell it?"
"I'm not a dog," Mu Anxiao retorted, glaring at Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi pouted. "Fine, I won't eat it."
"Why won't you eat it?" Mu Anxiao asked.
Feng Qishi calmly glanced at the mist, then at his own palm, saying, "I can go in."
"You..."
"No, you'll die," Shi Yi said with a look of panic.
"If you make me eat something I don't understand, my chances of dying might be even greater?" Feng Qishi's tone was arrogant.
Mu Anxiao rolled her eyes at Feng Qishi.
The man in green eyed the pills in his hand with lingering fear.
Mu Anxiao looked at Feng Qishi and the man in green, both wary, and said, "Then, according to you, I can die now, right?"
"Do you feel anything?" Feng Qishi stared at Mu Anxiao and asked.
"No," Mu Anxiao replied lazily.
Then, Shi Yi suddenly thrust the pills towards Feng Qishi's mouth and said, "Eat it."
"What are you doing?" Feng Qishi exclaimed, startled.
"There's wind," Shi Yi said, directly popping the pill into Feng Qishi's mouth as it happened to be open, then quickly reaching out to cover Feng Qishi's mouth.
Thus, Feng Qishi swallowed the pill.
Shi Yi removed his hand and turned his gaze to the man in green.
The man in green's eyes widened, and he very readily put the pill into his mouth.
Shi Yi smiled with satisfaction.
"This is the stuff from below," Mu Anxiao suddenly said.
Instantly, Shi Yi's smile froze. "How did you know?"
Mu Anxiao sighed and said, "I've eaten things from below before. This taste is the same as that."
"Is that so?" Shi Yi, as if worried about Mu Anxiao discovering something, nodded.
"You stole it," Feng Qishi suddenly said.
Shi Yi turned to Feng Qishi with a dry laugh. "I didn't steal it, I picked it up."
"You can tell that to ghosts, but me," Feng Qishi smiled. "I don't believe you."
"You..."
"Spread out," the man in green suddenly interrupted Feng Qishi.
Following the man in green's voice, Feng Qishi looked back at the mist that was gradually dispersing in front of them and asked, "Why did it suddenly disperse?"
"It's not that it dispersed, it's that your eyes are no longer blurry," Shi Yi said softly.
Mu Anxiao looked at the clear and bright path ahead and said calmly, "I didn't expect you all to love using things from below so much. It's truly exasperating."
"I didn't, I picked it up," Shi Yi emphasized.
Mu Anxiao ignored Shi Yi and stepped back behind the man in green.
The man in green frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"
"You go first, I'll follow behind you. It's safer," Mu Anxiao said, tilting her head up.
"Monsters usually appear from behind people," the man in green said, deliberately trying to scare Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao's eyes darted, and she quickly looked at Feng Qishi. "You two come here."
"I'm not going in the rear," Feng Qishi said, seeing through Mu Anxiao's intention at a glance.
"I'll go in the rear," Shi Yi offered enthusiastically.
Feng Qishi frowned, then looked down at the tears and snot on his sleeve, saying, "I'll go in the rear."
"You're so nice," Shi Yi said with a squinting smile.
Feng Qishi's mouth twitched. "You'd better not pull me along again."
"No, I have this now," Shi Yi said, tugging at the sachet around his neck.
"Best," Feng Qishi said faintly, wrapping the silver rope around his hand.
A few minutes later, Feng Qishi looked helplessly at Shi Yi, who was clinging tightly to his arm as they walked, and asked, "Didn't you say you wouldn't do such disgusting things? Excuse me, what are you doing now?"
"I still think it's better to be safe than sorry," Shi Yi said, holding Feng Qishi's arm and glancing around nervously, afraid of encountering a rat demon.
Feng Qishi sighed and said, "Stop for a moment."
Immediately, they all stopped.
Feng Qishi turned his head and looked at Shi Yi, pausing for a moment.
Sensing Feng Qishi's gaze, Shi Yi gave an awkward smile and let go of his arm.
Feng Qishi snorted softly, pulled a blue cloth from his sleeve, and handed it to Shi Yi. "Wear this."
"How do I wear it?" Shi Yi asked softly, holding the blue cloth.
Feng Qishi was momentarily speechless. He snatched the blue cloth back and quickly wrapped it around Shi Yi's face. "Like this, understand?" As he spoke, he removed the cloth and handed it to Shi Yi.
Shi Yi chuckled foolishly. "If you were a woman, I'd like you too." As he spoke, he took the cloth and covered his face with it.
At this moment, Feng Qishi was thankful that he was a man.
Mu Anxiao looked at Shi Yi's gaze towards Feng Qishi and said, "Shi Yi, I have a secret to tell you."
"What secret?" Shi Yi asked, peeking through his eyes at Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao smiled. "You, you're actually a woman."
"Me?" Shi Yi pointed at himself and chuckled unnaturally. "Big sister, no matter how foolish or cowardly I am, I can still tell if I'm a man or a woman, alright?"
"Look at him," Mu Anxiao pointed at Feng Qishi with ill intent.
Feng Qishi frowned and looked at Mu Anxiao. "Mu Dummy, take your finger back."
Mu Anxiao obediently lowered her finger and said, "Actually, he's a woman."
Feng Qishi's eyes widened.
Shi Yi chuckled dryly and turned to Feng Qishi. "He's so tall, how could he be a woman? Mu Anxiao, you have to at least make sense when you lie."
Hearing Shi Yi's words, Mu Anxiao became embarrassed.
Feng Qishi looked at Mu Anxiao with a mocking gaze and snorted a couple of times.
The man in green glanced at them and said, "The slower you are, the more the Red Flower will be successfully brainwashed. Can you hurry up?"
Seeing the anxious look on the man in green's face, Shi Yi then looked at Mu Anxiao and said, "Why do I feel like you two aren't engaged?"
Mu Anxiao's expression froze.
The man in green glanced at Mu Anxiao, then at Shi Yi. "Tell me, why do you think so?"
"I've met you before," Shi Yi suddenly said.
The man in green frowned.
