The man in green smiled playfully, "I like her too. She's also my fiancée."
Mu An Xiao was speechless.
Feng Qi Shi secretly smiled, looking down.
Shi Yi was so angered that his face turned red and his neck bulged.
A quarter of an hour later, Mu An Xiao returned to her room. After Feng Qi Shi handed Shi Yi over to the man in green, he came to Mu An Xiao's door and asked, "Do you want something to eat?"
"No," Mu An Xiao replied, then turned to Feng Qi Shi, who was standing at the door, and asked, "Why aren't you coming in?"
"It's inconvenient," Feng Qi Shi said, his expression solemn.
Mu An Xiao pouted and said, "Actually, I really dislike people liking me. That feeling of being pestered is very uncomfortable."
"I can see that," Feng Qi Shi nodded and stepped over the threshold into the room.
Mu An Xiao stood before the table and sighed, "He actually managed to discover I'm a woman. Others can't tell."
"That guy is a rat, he's sneaky," Feng Qi Shi walked to Mu An Xiao's side and reached for a teacup.
Mu An Xiao's lips twitched, "Actually, he's quite good-looking."
Upon hearing this, Feng Qi Shi put down the teacup and asked unhappily, "Is he good-looking, or am I?"
Mu An Xiao paused, then looked up at Feng Qi Shi and said, "Are you sick?"
"If you don't answer, I'll go tell that guy you fancy him," Feng Qi Shi said deliberately.
Mu An Xiao knew Feng Qi Shi was going to threaten her, so she sighed and said, "You are good-looking."
"If you say I'm good-looking, why are you sighing?" Feng Qi Shi was deliberately picking a fight.
Mu An Xiao gave a dry laugh, "You are truly beautiful, no matter how you look at it. You are as beautiful as a celestial being, capable of shaming the moon and eclipsing flowers, captivating fish and making birds forget to fly. There, satisfied?"
"Those are all descriptions for women," Feng Qi Shi said, displeased.
"I said he's good-looking because he's too delicate. You... want to compare with him, what does that have to do with me?" Mu An Xiao shrugged.
Feng Qi Shi couldn't help but smile, "Then I won't compare with him."
"That's right. Let's go," Mu An Xiao said, turning around.
Feng Qi Shi blinked in surprise, "We're leaving already?"
"What else? This matter can't wait," Mu An Xiao said, walking out the door first.
Feng Qi Shi reluctantly put down the teacup and followed Mu An Xiao.
A moment later, Mu An Xiao pushed open the door to the adjacent room and looked at the two men sitting inside drinking tea, saying, "Let's go, stop drinking."
"Leaving already?" the man in green asked, surprised.
"Don't you want to rescue your pet? If we don't leave now, your pet will become demonic," Mu An Xiao said calmly.
Shi Yi, hearing Mu An Xiao's cold voice, gloated, "Haha, she dislikes you."
"She dislikes you," the man in green said unhappily and nudged Shi Yi twice forcefully.
Shi Yi rolled his eyes and said, "I dislike you." With that, he stood up and walked towards Mu An Xiao.
Feng Qi Shi stopped behind Mu An Xiao and said, "Hold him tight."
"Got it," the man in green replied and pulled Shi Yi, who was approaching Mu An Xiao, back to his side. "Rat spirit, don't think about going to her."
"You..." Shi Yi looked resentful, then remembered Feng Qi Shi's words about Mu An Xiao disliking being pestered, and swallowed his unspoken words.
"Let's go," the man in green, holding the rope, walked around Shi Yi and in front of Mu An Xiao.
"You guys go first, then I'll go," Mu An Xiao moved aside.
"Why?" the man in green asked.
Mu An Xiao glanced at Feng Qi Shi and said, "I don't know how to do anything, so I naturally have to follow behind. In other words, what if the rabbit spirit doesn't like me and eats me?"
"They eat vegetables, not people," Shi Yi interjected with a grin.
"I know, you talk too much," Mu An Xiao pointed at Shi Yi, annoyed.
Seeing Mu An Xiao about to get angry, Shi Yi immediately lowered his head.
Mu An Xiao glared at Shi Yi, then stepped forward and stood behind him.
Shi Yi turned his head to look at Mu An Xiao as if flattered and said, "I will protect you."
Mu An Xiao looked at Shi Yi's demeanor and then at the hand of the man in green pulling him, saying, "Guys who say pretty words are basically... cowards."
"I'm not," Shi Yi said firmly.
Mu An Xiao rolled her eyes and turned her face away.
In a short while, they arrived in front of a forest. Mu An Xiao looked in surprise at the thin mist enveloping the area and asked, "How do we get through this?"
"We crawl through," Shi Yi quickly grabbed Mu An Xiao's arm and said.
Mu An Xiao turned to look at Shi Yi, who was bent over and clinging tightly to her arm, and said, "Let go and pull him." She pointed to Feng Qi Shi.
Feng Qi Shi looked at Shi Yi with disdain, then glanced at the tears and snot on his sleeve, saying, "Don't let this sissy touch me."
"You're the sissy," Shi Yi whispered.
As soon as Shi Yi finished speaking, a howling wind sounded from ahead. Shi Yi yelped in surprise, let go of Mu An Xiao's hand, turned sharply, and hugged Feng Qi Shi's arm.
Feng Qi Shi said with disgust, "Let go."
Shi Yi hugged Feng Qi Shi's arm tightly and shook his head, "No."
"Coward," Mu An Xiao rolled her eyes at Shi Yi, then looked at the man in green observing the path ahead and asked, "See anything?"
"This is all demonic energy," the man in green said, turning to Shi Yi, "Don't you have a way?"
"Wait, let me gather myself," Shi Yi said, still holding Feng Qi Shi's arm tightly.
Mu An Xiao looked at the back of Shi Yi's head and asked, "Do you even know how to get in?"
"I... I'm a bit nervous. Let me think, let me think," Shi Yi's voice trembled slightly.
"Think," Mu An Xiao snorted softly, "Coward, you've been thinking for almost a quarter of an hour. If you know, say so. If you don't, say you don't know and you're thinking."
"What you said is like saying nothing," the man in green said helplessly.
Mu An Xiao glanced at the man in green and then said, "I'm just curious, what are you such a coward afraid of?"
"There's the scent of rat spirits here," Feng Qi Shi suddenly said, looking down at Shi Yi, who was trembling, "Are you afraid of them?"
"Mmm," Shi Yi nodded slightly.
Mu An Xiao looked at Shi Yi's hand tightly gripping Feng Qi Shi's arm, then at his furtively scanning eyes, and said, "Don't be afraid for now. Just tell me how you usually get in." As she spoke, she took off the sachet hanging around her neck and held it out to Shi Yi.
Shi Yi asked, "What are you doing?"
"What else? This can mask your scent. Cover your face with this, and they won't be able to tell it's you," Mu An Xiao said, hanging the sachet around Shi Yi's neck herself.
Shi Yi said, "This thing masks your scent. It's useless on me."
"Useless? The demonic energy is the same, and you've been here for a long time. So, at most, they'll mistake you for a rabbit spirit," Mu An Xiao said calmly.
"You'll be discovered this way," the man in green said, walking to Mu An Xiao's side.
