"I said it was love at first sight, and it is. Don't evade me," the man stated firmly.
Mu Anxiao thought she had successfully changed the topic. Little did she know, this man was such a persistent rat demon. Looking at him, she forced a smile and said, "Alright, I won't evade you. Then tell me, what do you like about me?"
"I like everything about you," the man said, his eyes shining with sincerity.
Mu Anxiao chuckled lightly, "Do you even know me?"
"No, but I can get to know you slowly," the man replied, reaching out to place his hands on Mu Anxiao's shoulders.
Mu Anxiao remained calm. She glanced down at the man's hands on her shoulders and said, "Many scumbags trick girls like this. You, a rat demon, are just that kind of person." As she spoke, she grabbed the man's wrist.
The man was taken aback, "What is a scumbag?"
"A scumbag is someone like you, glib-tongued, always babbling about love at first sight..." Mu Anxiao widened her eyes, forcefully pulled the man forward, then quickly turned her back and executed a perfect shoulder throw. Before the man could react, he was lying on the ground.
Mu Anxiao patted her shoulder and looked down, "Liking me comes at a price."
"Ugh..." The man, lying on his back, looked up at Mu Anxiao and suddenly burst into laughter.
Hearing the man's inexplicable laughter, Mu Anxiao asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"I think you are too absolute," the man said, sitting up. "Everyone, including every demon, has a different personality. My love at first sight is love at first sight. I just like you." He then stood up.
Mu Anxiao took half a step back, looking up at the man with a nonchalant expression, "Do you know what a scumbag means?"
"No, but I can tell you definitively, I am not," the man said with great confidence.
"Actually, sometimes scumbags don't even know they are scumbags, they just inexplicably become trash. Do you know why you are trash?" Mu Anxiao pointed at the man and asked.
"Why?" The man looked dazed.
"Your behavior, your words, and your slick talk, the way you fall for everyone you see," Mu Anxiao held up three fingers in front of the man, "These points combined are enough to prove you are an incredibly huge playboy."
"Are scumbags and playboys the same thing?" the man asked, staring at Mu Anxiao's fingers.
"I think they are pretty much the same. In any case, you fit both descriptions," Mu Anxiao said deliberately to distance herself from the man.
"Do you know me?" the man suddenly asked.
Mu Anxiao frowned, "Can you stop copying me?"
"Do you know me?" the man asked again.
Mu Anxiao raised her hand to scratch her suddenly itchy eyebrow and said, "I don't know you, and of course, I don't intend to get to know you, because it's meaningless."
"But I know you," the man suddenly said.
Mu Anxiao's expression froze, "No, are you sick?"
"Not sick. My name is Shi Yi, and you are Mu Anxiao, right?" Shi Yi said with a smile.
Mu Anxiao looked at the man who had just introduced himself and stated her name with a dark line on her forehead, giving a wry smile, "No, I didn't ask for your name."
"You didn't ask, but I want to tell you," Shi Yi maintained his smile.
Mu Anxiao took half a step back, "Fine, your mouth is your own, I won't say anything, you..."
"I can take you to infiltrate the Immortal Cultivation Sect," Shi Yi interrupted directly.
Upon hearing this, Mu Anxiao looked around and said, "No need, we can find it ourselves."
"You won't be able to find it," Shi Yi smiled faintly.
"I've been there before, so I'm familiar with the route, I don't need you," Mu Anxiao said, pointing at Shi Yi's face.
Shi Yi smiled down, "It's protected by demonic energy set by a rabbit demon. Ordinary people and immortals cannot sense it. Are you sure you can?"
"I..."
"Once you enter and can't find the way, you'll just wait to die inside. Even immortals would be trapped. Are you sure you and your companions can?" Shi Yi asked with a smile.
Mu Anxiao was rendered speechless.
"Originally, I wouldn't tell anyone this. But seeing you," Shi Yi looked down at Mu Anxiao's face and smiled, "The girl I fell in love with at first sight, so I'll just tell you. If you don't believe me, go ahead. I'll collect your corpse anyway, and then marry your soul. That sounds quite good too."
"Do you have any humanity?" Mu Anxiao pointed at Shi Yi, angrily saying.
"I am not human, why should I have humanity?" Shi Yi said in a playful tone.
Mu Anxiao snorted and said, "You are really shameless."
"As long as you agree to marry me, I'll take you," Shi Yi delivered his final blow.
"You are quite clever, using this to trap me," Mu Anxiao said helplessly, looking at Shi Yi.
Shi Yi raised an eyebrow, "There aren't many handsome demons like me."
"What does it matter to me whether there are many or not?" Mu Anxiao said, turning her face away.
Then, Shi Yi reached out and grabbed the pouch around Mu Anxiao's neck, saying, "If you take this off, won't you be captured by the dog-headed demon?"
"What do you want?" Mu Anxiao quickly pulled Shi Yi's hand away and asked.
"Yesterday, I saw it," Shi Yi raised an eyebrow.
"You..."
"I saw you yesterday before you fell into that hole. You..." Shi Yi's lips curved into a smile, "I also heard your conversation with that vine demon. I can teach you demonic energy cultivation, then you won't have to fear those guys anymore."
"What business is it of yours, my affairs?" Mu Anxiao had not expected this Shi Yi to be such a cunning individual.
"For now, it's none of my business. But that Feng Qishi," Shi Yi mused, smiling, "seems to be just a mortal who has become an immortal. If I kill him, I wonder what will happen to him?"
"You..." Mu Anxiao frowned and said, "You know I'm not a rat demon."
"Originally, I didn't want to say this, but since you reject me so much, I can't help myself," Shi Yi shrugged.
"Indeed, demons nowadays are not pure. I didn't expect," Mu Anxiao bit her lip tightly, "that I would be trapped by someone like you."
"Oh dear, you can't say that. As long as you agree, I'll let Feng Qishi go, and then help you eradicate the rabbit demon. How about that?" Shi Yi asked with a smile.
Mu Anxiao had always been the one to set traps for others. Now, to be outsmarted by this rat demon made her feel uncomfortable.
"If you don't speak, I'll assume you've agreed," Shi Yi continued.
