"I think it's fine, just too sour," Mu Anxiao said. She glanced at the money pouch around her waist, then at Gu Yan and asked, "You spent three taels of silver on these things just now, and you gave me five. If it's possible, I hope you can give me back the money."
"That's all I have," Gu Yan also glanced at the money pouch around Mu Anxiao's waist, "I gave it all to you, and I don't have any left now."
"I know, you deliberately let me go buy you snacks, just to make me spend money, right?" Mu Anxiao said directly.
Gu Yan raised her eyebrows at this, "As expected of a mortal, your face changes so quickly. But I'll disappoint you," she said, reaching into her bag again, "I don't have so many complicated thoughts. I just wanted to eat these things, and this silver was given by the master."
"Master?" Mu Anxiao had never imagined that there was money to be made by following Ouyang Ye. Hearing Gu Yan say this, her eyes lit up, and she suddenly saw a 'business opportunity.'
Gu Yan calmly looked at Mu Anxiao's greedy expression and smiled, "The master said that we all have our hobbies, and the only thing that supports our hobbies is money. I like fruits and the like, so the master gives me five taels of silver every day to complete my tasks well. To be honest, today is the least I've bought."
Hearing Gu Yan's words, Mu Anxiao glanced at the money pouch around her waist again. She was touched, "Did you intentionally save two taels of silver for me? That's why you bought less, right?"
"One part is your reward, and the other is hush money. If you dare to tell the master about this, I won't let you off," Gu Yan pointed at Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao smiled, "No, I definitely won't say anything, especially since you gave me two taels of silver." As she spoke, she thought about her current identity and asked, "By the way, you demons all get five taels of silver. As a human following the boss, shouldn't I get more?"
"That's not necessarily true," Gu Yan said seriously.
Mu Anxiao was confused, "How is that not necessarily true? I'm a human, so I naturally have more appetite and hobbies than you. Therefore, I should definitely get a little more silver than you." Her tone became inexplicably excited.
Gu Yan was completely unaffected by Mu Anxiao's attitude and said lightly, "You can't ask me about this. The master also gives silver based on the task. For example, Guyan's silver isn't as much as mine. So," she smiled up at Mu Anxiao, "it depends on your own ability."
"You mean, as long as I do my tasks well, the boss will give me more silver, right?" Mu Anxiao's eyes gleamed with greed, and her heart began to race.
Gu Yan nodded.
Seeing Gu Yan nod, Mu Anxiao, as if she had received incredibly important news, became resolute, "Then, in that case, I must complete my tasks well." She said this with a smile on her face.
Gu Yan looked at Mu Anxiao's determined attitude for the sake of money and gave a helpless smile, "Truly a mortal, easily swayed by a little silver." She said, continuing to eat the plums.
Mu Anxiao smiled, "That's for sure. As a human, I can't live without money. Anyone who gives me money is my god. If you give me money, I'll worship you as a god too." She said, and then sat down.
Gu Yan: "You must never call me that in front of the master. If you dare, I won't be polite to you."
"How will you not be polite to me?" Mu Anxiao asked deliberately. She suddenly had the idea of tricking her into talking.
"I have sorcery. If you harm me, I'll use sorcery to send you to a place without daylight. In that place, there will be no food or drink. Then, you will be conscious and taste all the suffering in this world," Gu Yan glanced at Mu Anxiao, "Just imagine the feeling."
Hearing Gu Yan's words, Mu Anxiao's mind immediately conjured the images of those souls. It was at this moment that she realized that those people had all given up under such means. She couldn't help but smile bitterly, "You have such abilities." As she spoke, she resolved to save them.
Gu Yan: "That's a must. In short, I hate being betrayed." She said, then her eyes shifted to Guyan, who pushed open the door and walked in, frowning, "You came in without knocking."
At the same time, Guyan shifted her gaze to Mu Anxiao's face, "Human." She feigned surprise.
Seeing this, Mu Anxiao suddenly stood up, waved, and said, "Hello, my name is Cao Gen," she said, with a playful smile, "You're a demon too, right?" After speaking, she looked down at Gu Yan.
Gu Yan whispered, "Don't call me that casually."
Upon hearing this, Mu Anxiao also whispered, "Got it." After speaking, she looked at Guyan, who was walking gracefully.
Next, Guyan arrived at the table and said coldly, "I don't like humans. Don't talk to me." She said, looking down at Gu Yan, "I'm looking for you."
"What are you looking for me for?" Gu Yan asked, using sorcery to make the bag of snacks disappear.
Guyan: "Someone in this mansion has gone mad. Did you do it?" She said, frowning tightly.
Hearing Guyan's words, Gu Yan was immediately angered and stood up, "That person went mad, what does that have to do with me? If you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for being impolite to you." Her eyes widened.
"Impolite," Guyan chuckled at Gu Yan's words, "You've forgotten the master's words, haven't you?"
"What do you mean by that?" Gu Yan was angry.
Watching them like this, Mu Anxiao quietly moved around the chair and deliberately took a few steps back, thinking, 'It seems Guyan is deliberately picking a fight with her.' Thinking this, she glanced at both of them and decided it was best not to speak, lest she get caught in the crossfire.
Guyan: "What do I mean by that? The master said that if there are no tasks, you cannot lay a hand on mortals. And you," she narrowed her eyes, "for a moment of pleasure, you drove that person mad. Of course, don't say it wasn't you. Others may not understand your methods, but I understand them very well."
"I'll tell you what my methods are," Gu Yan said anxiously, "I've been staying here the whole time. If you don't believe me, ask her." She immediately looked at Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao's expression stiffened, and she quickly said, "I can testify that she's been here the whole time." She said this firmly.
Seeing Mu Anxiao speaking up for Gu Yan, Guyan's eyes sank. She suddenly smelled the scent of plums, and then without thinking, she turned and walked in front of Mu Anxiao, leaning in to sniff her scent, "You went out to buy her snacks."
Mu Anxiao didn't expect Guyan's nose to be so keen. After hearing her words, Mu Anxiao was stunned.
Hearing this, Gu Yan stood up, turned to Guyan, and said firmly, "I haven't gone out."
"Haven't gone out," Guyan said, deliberately glaring at Mu Anxiao, and then turning to Gu Yan, "Then tell me, how did that person go mad?"
"How should I know," Gu Yan said coldly.
Guyan sneered.
