Feng Qishi wiped the sweat from his brow as the wind picked up. "It only significantly reduced my cultivation, but I still have some left. Besides, capturing demons also enhances cultivation. Every demon I catch is beneficial to me."
"Then how do you plan to help Mu Anxiao?" the man in green asked, more concerned about this issue.
"I..."
"Cough, cough, I'm still here," the old gentleman interrupted their conversation.
The man in green smiled at the old gentleman and said, "Master, speaking of which, when you were looking for Xian Yuan..."
"Master's immortal position is different from ours," Feng Qishi interrupted.
The man in green chuckled upon hearing this.
The old gentleman glared at the man in green and said to Feng Qishi, "If you need anything, come to me."
"Yes, Master," Feng Qishi said, cupping his hands.
The old gentleman nodded, looked at the man in green, and said, "If you can't find them, come back."
"Understood, Master," the man in green replied dejectedly.
"Let's go," the old gentleman said.
Following that, Feng Qishi and the man in green cupped their hands together.
The old gentleman flicked his sleeve, turned, and flew out the window as a blue light.
The man in green breathed a sigh of relief after the old gentleman left.
Feng Qishi sat down again.
The man in green turned to Feng Qishi and asked, "Senior Brother, for capturing a mere demon, you didn't need to reduce your cultivation so much, did you?"
"A demon catcher's cultivation cannot be too high, don't you know that?" Feng Qishi picked up his teacup and took a sip.
The man in green paused and said, "Why can't it be too high?"
Hearing this, Feng Qishi put down his teacup and exclaimed, "You really don't know."
"I didn't pay enough attention in immortal class, sorry," the man in green said, scratching the back of his head and sitting next to Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi sighed and said, "I've been reborn and I still remember it. What kind of brain do you have?"
"I'm actually quite smart," the man in green mumbled.
"If you're smart, you wouldn't forget," Feng Qishi said, glaring at the man in green.
The man in green pursed his lips and smiled.
"You want to know?" Feng Qishi deliberately teased the man in green.
"Mhm," the man in green nodded excitedly.
"I'll tell you, and you remember it," Feng Qishi said, pointing at the man in green.
The man in green smiled, "I will definitely remember, definitely."
Feng Qishi looked at the man in green's grinning face and shook his head helplessly. "It's because demons have very keen senses of smell. If my cultivation is too high, they'll run as soon as they smell me, so I have to reduce my cultivation to get close to them."
"You could conceal yourself," the man in green said excitedly.
"Concealment requires excessive hidden techniques, which consumes even more spiritual energy. It's more reliable to do it this way," Feng Qishi replied.
"But that puts you in mortal danger. If you do that, what if..." the man in green paused and said, "What if you die?"
"If I die, you must remember to come and collect my body this time. You didn't even come in the previous life," Feng Qishi said, pointing at the man in green.
"I won't let you die," the man in green said firmly.
Feng Qishi looked at the man in green's serious expression and couldn't help but smile. "Don't worry, I won't die."
"You should start with minor demons, understand!" the man in green advised.
Feng Qishi nodded with a smile, then thought of Hong Yan in the next room, his brow furrowed. "Not good, Hong Yan's injury." He looked at his own palm. "I can't heal it."
The man in green looked at Feng Qishi, who was lost in thought, and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing..." Feng Qishi had just uttered one word when he suddenly remembered that the man in green detested demons, so he asked, "Junior Brother, that's not right. Don't you hate demons? Why did you get mixed up with that Hong Yan?"
"I do hate demons, but I don't hate good demons," the man in green said with a smile.
"Alright, but, let me ask you," Feng Qishi suddenly became serious. "Did you see that demon?"
"Who?" the man in green didn't react.
"The rabbit spirit," Feng Qishi reminded him seriously.
"Oh, that fellow," the man in green suddenly realized. "Senior Brother, I'll leave it to you. If you catch that guy, you'll definitely be able to recover a lot of your cultivation."
"Let's not talk about that for now," Feng Qishi stared directly at the man in green's face. "How did you encounter her today?"
"She ambushed me," the man in green said, frowning, his expression becoming unexpectedly serious.
"Ambushed?" Feng Qishi repeated, lowering his eyes and asking, "Why were you out so late?"
"I was looking for Xian Yuan, and on my way back, suddenly..."
At that moment, the man in green had just picked up Hong Yan when a chilling wind suddenly blew from behind him. The man in green frowned, quickly dodged a black light flying towards him, and turned to look at the woman in black with dark eyes. "Who are you?"
"You don't need to know who I am. Hand over your life," the woman in black said, extending her hand to conjure a wooden stick glowing red and swinging it towards the man in green.
At the same time, Hong Yan leaped from the man in green's arms and landed on the ground.
The next second, the woman in black saw Hong Yan, but before she could react, the wooden stick landed on Hong Yan.
"A rabbit." The woman in black was stunned and looked up at the man in green. "You dare to catch rabbits? You're looking for death." With that, she raised her wooden stick again.
The man in green glanced at Hong Yan, who had blocked the stick for him, and said, "Hong Yan, wait." Then, he maneuvered around Hong Yan and began to fight the woman in black.
As the man in green was explaining this, Feng Qishi interrupted, "How did you know that woman in black was a rabbit spirit?"
"I fought with her. I didn't recognize her at first, but when we fought, I remembered," the man in green said.
"I see," Feng Qishi said, clearing his throat. "Um, at that time, did you check on Hong Yan after the fight?"
"No, at that moment, the sky suddenly lit up with blue light. The rabbit spirit saw it and ran towards the blue light. Then I pursued, and then I saw Mu Anxiao fall. I caught her. What's wrong?" the man in green asked, completely unaware of the situation.
Feng Qishi knew that Hong Yan didn't want him to tell the man in green about her injury, but considering his own cultivation issues, he had to convey this news to the man in green in another way.
"Um," he rubbed his nose and said, "Did the rabbit spirit hit Hong Yan hard with the wooden stick? I mean, what did you feel?" He pointed at the man in green.
"What I felt?" the man in green pointed to himself.
Feng Qishi nodded, "Uh-huh, what you felt."
"What I felt..." the man in green muttered, recalling the scene again. "It was quite heavy, but she's a demon, so she should be fine, right?"
