"No, it was too sudden, everything was too sudden. Yesterday morning, you were still eating breakfast, and now," Mu Anxiao finished the last bite of egg and said, "You can't eat anything but 'xiang'."
"I didn't eat 'xiang'," Feng Qi Shi emphasized.
"Soon, you'll be living the 'xiang' life," Mu Anxiao said, picking up the breakfast and quickening her pace.
Feng Qi Shi helplessly watched Mu Anxiao's retreating back, let out a soft hum, and turned to look at the woman sneakily following them, saying, "Are you looking to die?"
"I'm not looking for a chihuahua, I'm looking for..." The woman leaned forward, pointing at Mu Anxiao's receding back, "her."
"What are you looking for her for?" Feng Qi Shi asked.
The woman's eyes flickered, and she put on a pitiable act, saying, "I am a weak woman harmed by a demon, you..."
"Don't try to trick me. That guy is stupid, but I'm not," Feng Qi Shi said coldly. He raised his index finger and wrote the demon spell he had written last night on his palm. Stepping forward, he said, "Look." As he spoke, he held his palm in front of the woman's face as he had the night before.
The woman looked at the row of demon spells on Feng Qi Shi's palm and pretended ignorance, "What are you doing?"
"If you have the ability, recite it," Feng Qi Shi said.
"I..." The woman's gaze drifted, and she slowly opened her mouth, pretending to be unskilled as she recited the characters, saying, "I don't feel anything."
"Recite it properly," Feng Qi Shi said with cold eyes.
The woman swallowed, took a step back, and said, "I'm not talking to you anymore."
"When I want to talk to you," Feng Qi Shi said, narrowing his eyes, "You think that by using Hu Yuan's past life body to kill people, it doesn't count as yours. How naive."
"Eh?" The woman feigned surprise.
A smile tugged at Feng Qi Shi's lips, "Keep pretending. Let's see how long you can keep it up." With that, he turned and left.
The woman watched Feng Qi Shi's retreating back and clenched her fist.
Feng Qi Shi said as he walked, "You'd better relax your hands, otherwise, the next time I see you, my attitude won't be so polite."
The woman's eyes widened, and she released her grip.
Feng Qi Shi's lips curved upwards, and he looked down at the peeking little follower, saying, "I didn't expect your stealth skills to be so amazing."
"Thank you for the compliment," the little follower said, then disappeared.
Feng Qi Shi raised his head and looked ahead.
A few minutes later, as Feng Qi Shi stepped into the courtyard, Mu Anxiao ran out with an angry expression and asked, "Where did you go?"
"I was blocked," Feng Qi Shi replied truthfully.
"Blocked?" Mu Anxiao repeated the word, scanning Feng Qi Shi's unharmed soul body and asking, "Who blocked you?"
"Why should I tell you?" Feng Qi Shi retorted.
Mu Anxiao swallowed and said with a serious expression, "I am your master, so you should tell me."
"So what if I am your master?" Feng Qi Shi asked again.
"As your master, I have the right to know your whereabouts," Mu Anxiao replied seriously.
"Please understand, you are only responsible for teaching me skills, you have no right to manage my other..." Feng Qi Shi leaned down to meet Mu Anxiao's gaze, "matters. Thank you."
Mu Anxiao stared directly into Feng Qi Shi's eyes and said, "Do you think I want to manage you?"
"Then don't ask," Feng Qi Shi deliberately leaned down further.
Due to the close proximity to Feng Qi Shi, Mu Anxiao intentionally took a step back, straightened up, and said, "Chihuahua is too embarrassed to ask you, so I'm here to ask you on his behalf."
"Then, by saying that, the little one is concerned about me."
"Yes," Mu Anxiao nodded.
Upon hearing this, Feng Qi Shi's lips curved upwards. He walked around Mu Anxiao and returned to the room, looking at the small demon sitting on the floor and saying, "I'm fine, don't worry."
The small demon was confused, "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing," Feng Qi Shi frowned, turned, and looked at Mu Anxiao, who had stopped at the doorway, saying, "Are you being interesting?"
"Not interesting. I'm just curious if you have any contact with that female demon," Mu Anxiao said directly.
"You saw her?" Feng Qi Shi asked.
Mu Anxiao nodded, "Mm, I accidentally saw her when I turned the corner."
"Oh," Feng Qi Shi said indifferently.
"What did she say to you?" Mu Anxiao asked.
Feng Qi Shi deliberately cast his gaze aside and said, "If you want to know so badly, could it be," he looked back and fixed his eyes on Mu Anxiao, "that you're worried the female demon likes me, and you're afraid of losing me."
"Are you sick?" Mu Anxiao said coldly.
Feng Qi Shi pouted, "Since you care so much about my relationship with that female demon, why don't you go ask her? Didn't you say you were going to meet again?"
"Is it interesting for you to talk in such a roundabout way?" Mu Anxiao asked impatiently.
"You might not find it interesting, but I do. I just like seeing you jealous," Feng Qi Shi said with a wicked grin.
Mu Anxiao looked at Feng Qi Shi's face and clenched her fist, "Feng Qi Shi, given your current situation, I advise you to stay away from that demon, lest something happens. I won't be able to help you then."
Feng Qi Shi tilted his face and muttered, "Still not sure who's managing whom."
"You can manage me?" Mu Anxiao heard Feng Qi Shi's voice.
Feng Qi Shi laughed, "Oh, you've been staying with the little one for too long, your ears have gotten better too."
The small demon retorted indignantly, "What does it have to do with me?"
Hearing this, Feng Qi Shi looked at the small demon and giggled, "You little dog, the more I look at you, the more I like you."
"Why do you like him?" Mu Anxiao asked impolitely.
Feng Qi Shi turned back to Mu Anxiao and raised an eyebrow, "What, are you jealous of a pet too?"
Mu Anxiao glared at Feng Qi Shi and said nothing more.
Feng Qi Shi looked at Mu Anxiao's speechless gaze and smiled, "Just kidding. That female demon just now said she was looking for you." Saying this, he held his hand up in front of Mu Anxiao's face.
"What are you doing?" Mu Anxiao asked, confused.
"Do you see the characters on my palm?" Feng Qi Shi asked.
Mu Anxiao obligingly peered at Feng Qi Shi's empty palm and shook her head, "I don't see anything."
"Nothing," Feng Qi Shi said, withdrew his hand, glanced at the demon spell on his palm, and then looked at the small demon, "Come here for a moment."
The small demon frowned, stood up, walked to Feng Qi Shi's front, and looked down at Feng Qi Shi's palm, saying, "You showed me this yesterday."
"You can see it," Feng Qi Shi said.
The small demon nodded.
Seeing Feng Qi Shi and the small demon acting mysteriously, Mu Anxiao asked, "What are you doing?"
"I wrote a demon spell here. Since you can't see it," Feng Qi Shi pointed at his palm.
Mu Anxiao said dismissively, "I'm not a demon, of course, I can't see it."
"Impossible, you are from above," Feng Qi Shi said excitedly.
Mu Anxiao rolled her eyes at Feng Qi Shi and said, "I warn you, you'd better not try to cultivate demonic arts. If I find out, I'm not done with you."
"I'm not cultivating, this is just a demon spell. Why can't you see it?" Feng Qi Shi said, then turned to look at Zhang Yan's room with its tightly closed door.
