"I'm telling you, I'm only helping you. It's only natural for me to take money. I haven't sold myself to you. Speak properly, or else," Mu Anxiao said, pointing her finger at the face of the small demon. "I'll beat you."
"Alright, alright, immortal. I believe Feng Qishi will be fine. He's still young, his body's recovery ability must be very good. Don't worry, don't worry." The small demon was no longer grinning cheekily; instead, his face was serious.
Mu Anxiao sighed and fell silent. xxs1
Seeing Mu Anxiao quiet, the big-headed fat demon thought about his previous words and also refrained from speaking for the moment.
Soon, the news of Feng Qishi's suicide spread.
"Mom, they all say Qishi committed suicide. Is it true?" Feng Yan rushed to Feng's mother and asked.
Feng's mother looked at Feng Yan and said, "I don't know. He hasn't come out yet. I don't know how he's doing."
"Qishi... how could he commit suicide?" Feng Yan couldn't believe it.
Feng Sen sat on a public bench and said, "Why is this happening? Sister just recovered, and now he's like this. Why?" He clenched his fists.
Mu Anxiao looked at Feng Sen's profile and sighed again.
"What exactly happened?" the big-headed fat demon asked Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao pursed her lips and said, "It was the wolf demon."
"As expected," the big-headed fat demon said.
Mu Anxiao glanced at the door of the emergency room and said, "But this matter is quite troublesome. I was here just now too."
"You were here, but Feng Qishi fell. You..." the small demon had a flash of inspiration and pointed at Mu Anxiao, saying, "Doesn't that make you the one who ran away?"
"You have a point. It seems I can't be like this." Saying this, Mu Anxiao turned and ran towards the women's restroom.
In a short while, Mu Anxiao reappeared outside the emergency room and looked at Feng's mother and the uncle who had spoken to Feng Qishi earlier.
"It's you," the uncle pointed at Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao nodded and said, "It is."
"Were you with that kid inside just now?" the uncle questioned.
Mu Anxiao hadn't expected the situation to be so thorny. Faced with the uncle's questioning expression, she was speechless.
Immediately after, Feng Qishi's soul appeared beside the uncle. Mu Anxiao's eyes widened abruptly, and she asked with her mind, "You... you're dead?"
"No, I'm not dead. Just came out for a walk," Feng Qishi said. He glanced at the uncle glaring at Mu Anxiao and said, "Just say I committed suicide. This has nothing to do with you."
I won't. Mu Anxiao furrowed her brow slightly.
"Are you stupid? Only you and I were there then. If you don't say I committed suicide, you'll be implicated. Are you out of your mind?" Feng Qishi said agitatedly.
If I say that, you'll be accused of suicide. I...
"If you say it, my mom might wake up," Feng Qishi said seriously.
Mu Anxiao glanced at Feng's mother.
Feng's mother looked at Mu Anxiao with hostility and asked, "Was it you?"
Mu Anxiao's body stiffened.
Feng Qishi looked at his mother, who was about to cause trouble again, and said, "Just say I've wanted to die for a long time. The first time, I accidentally got involved with Ma Yan, who was looking at the scenery to get some air. Then, with your persuasion, you and Ma Yan worked together to pull me and her up. After they left, I took advantage of your inattention and jumped off the building. That's what happened."
But...
"Stop with the 'buts.' If you keep saying 'but,' you'll be arrested, and then you'll never be able to return to your world," Feng Qishi interrupted.
Mu Anxiao heard the words "return to your world" and thought about what Feng Qishi said. She said a mental "I'm sorry," then looked up at the uncle and said, "He committed suicide. I came to see his sister this morning and met him on the way. He was in a very bad mood and asked me to go to the rooftop with him to get some air. I said the rooftop wouldn't be open, but he insisted on going. Helpless, I followed him up. Who knew the door at the top was open? Then we met Ma Yan. His mood suddenly became unstable, and he wanted to commit suicide. Then Ma Yan went to pull him, but she fell with him. Ma Yan's sister and I pulled them up, and then you all arrived."
"His mood stabilized, why did it relapse?" the uncle asked.
Mu Anxiao cautiously glanced at Feng Qishi, who was giving her a thumbs-up, and continued, "I don't know either. After you left, he was silent for a while. Then, before I could react, he ran off and... then he fell. I was stunned at the time and rushed over immediately. As for anything else..." She shook her head. "I don't know."
Upon hearing Mu Anxiao's account, Feng Yan looked directly at Feng's mother.
Feng's mother looked at Mu Anxiao and said, "Couldn't you have comforted him?"
"How could I comfort him? He never told me what happened," Mu Anxiao said softly.
Feng Qishi smiled at Mu Anxiao and turned back into the emergency room.
Mu Anxiao glanced sideways at Feng Qishi's departing figure and then lowered her head again.
The big-headed fat demon looked at Mu Anxiao's wronged expression and said, "Fortunately, she showed up. Otherwise, she might have become a murderer."
"Yeah, it was a close call," the small demon agreed.
"But this time, I really understand how terrifying the wolf demon is," the big-headed fat demon said.
The small demon looked at the big-headed fat demon and asked, "Boss, do you think our master will be okay? Feng Qishi was pushed off the building by him, which means he used a lot of our master's soul essence."
"Yes, but we can't find him now either," the big-headed fat demon said helplessly.
Mu Anxiao heard their conversation, but because there were too many people around, she remained silent.
In the ward, Ma Yan and Ma Yan had also woken up.
"Why are we here?" Ma Yan asked, sitting up.
Ma Yan shook her head and said, "I had a dream, a very long dream, a dream about Grandpa."
"Grandpa?" Ma Yan turned her head to look at Ma Yan.
"Yes, do you remember what happened to us just now?" Ma Yan's attitude towards Ma Yan had become surprisingly good.
"I don't remember much," Ma Yan shook her head and asked, "Are you willing to talk to me now?"
Ma Yan looked up at the IV drip hanging by the bed and said, "I don't know why, but my heart suddenly feels so much more at ease. I feel like we've experienced many, many terrifying things just now, and then I met Grandpa. Grandpa said," tears began to well up in her eyes, "Grandpa said I should treat you well, and that he saw everything I did to bully you. He told me many things, many, many things."
The moment Ma Yan said this, Ma Yan suddenly fell silent and lowered her head.
"Are you very angry with me?" Ma Yan looked at the suddenly silent Ma Yan with guilt and asked.
