Mu Anxiao nodded and glanced back at Amei before walking ahead.
This time, Amei didn't dare greet Feng Qishi. She immediately turned and hurried to catch up with Mu Anxiao's pace.
After the two of them were completely gone, Zhao Xiang turned to Feng Qishi and asked, "Mo Yun, can you arrange my room to be closer to hers?"
"This..." Feng Qishi deliberately hesitated.
Zhao Xiang looked confused. "What's wrong?"
"This matter might be difficult to handle."
"What's so difficult? It's just arranging a guest room." Zhao Xiang thought everything was simple.
Conversely, Feng Qishi thought everything was complicated. "Mu Xiao has a bad temper. If we do this, she might be unhappy."
"You still care about her mood." Zhao Xiang expressed disdain.
Feng Qishi replied, "We're all under the same roof, so we can't let things get too strained. Besides," he said, "she was arranged here by King Jin. If I upset Mu Xiao, and Mu Xiao complains to King Jin, what will happen then?" He put on a troubled expression.
Zhao Xiang said, "I didn't see you fear King Jin so much before."
"That was when we were on the battlefield. I didn't think much about it, just focused on fighting the enemy. But it's different now," Feng Qishi said. "Now that we're back, we must abide by the rules of the city. As the saying goes, walls have ears, and it's better to be careful."
"..." Zhao Xiang was left speechless.
Feng Qishi continued, "Alright, you stay here with me for now. I'll order the servants to arrange your room."
"Thank you for your trouble."
"It's no trouble," Feng Qishi said casually, stepping past Zhao Xiang and leaving.
On the other side.
Mu Anxiao walked down the road without saying a word. Suddenly, she sensed demonic energy around her.
The demonic energy spread, and Mu Anxiao felt... there was more than one demonic soul in this General's mansion.
Amei followed behind Mu Anxiao, looking at the back of Mu Anxiao's head, and asked, "How are you going to teach me the rules?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Anxiao tilted her head slightly and said, "We'll talk about it when we get back."
"Do you really understand the rules?" Amei was no longer as arrogant as before.
"How could I not understand?"
"You..."
Unexpectedly, as Amei uttered the first syllable, Mu Anxiao suddenly sensed the demonic energy behind her. She quickly turned around, reached out, grabbed Amei's arm, and flung Amei to the side. She extended her hand and swiftly caught the demonic energy, saying, "Who is it."
Amei asked, "What's wrong?" She cautiously glanced at Mu Anxiao's hand.
When Mu Anxiao heard that Amei was still conscious, she quickly threw the demonic energy in her hand away. She then turned and brushed her hand across Amei's face, and Amei collapsed.
Immediately after, as Amei collapsed, a woman's voice entered Mu Anxiao's ears, "Mu Xiao, guess... how many demonic souls are here?"
Hearing the woman's voice, Mu Anxiao's eyes darkened. She immediately thought of the woman, but the woman should have been below by now, so it was unlikely to be her.
However, what puzzled Mu Anxiao was that this voice was almost identical to the woman's voice, which made Mu Anxiao quite troubled.
But as Mu Anxiao was struggling, the voice spoke again, "What, scared? Afraid to speak."
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao abandoned further thought, looked to both sides, and then fixed her gaze forward. "You brought these demonic souls in." She was certain that the owner of the voice was ahead.
"What do you think."
"I'm asking you, you tell me," Mu Anxiao snorted lightly. "You're really strange."
"You... shut up, with that tone."
From this brief exchange, Mu Anxiao realized that the owner of the female voice particularly disliked being spoken to with a bad attitude. But in Mu Anxiao's opinion, this was an opportunity.
As the saying goes, you never know how strong a person's explosive power is when they are provoked.
So she thought, perhaps if she angered the owner of the voice, the owner would reveal herself.
Thinking this, Mu Anxiao's lips curved into a smile, and she deliberately said, "You say I have a strange tone. May I ask how I have a strange tone? I think you're just thin-skinned."
"You..."
"What do you mean, you? Aren't you thin-skinned? I just used one tone, and you call it strange. You still say you're not thin-skinned," Mu Anxiao interrupted, laughing. "It's truly laughable."
"That's enough."
"Enough of what? I think," Mu Anxiao deliberately provoked, "those demonic souls aren't as thin-skinned as you are. I'm telling you, your mindset is not good, no wonder you became a demonic soul."
"What do you mean by that?"
Mu Anxiao could clearly hear that the owner of the female voice was starting to grit her teeth.
So, to make the effect even greater, she continued, "What I mean is, you must have died of anger when you were a demon."
"Your mouth is really annoying."
"My mouth is indeed annoying, what's it to you." Mu Anxiao finished speaking, her eyes widened, and she quickly dodged aside.
The next second, Mu Anxiao looked at the tree branch that was deflected by the demonic spell and clicked her tongue. "You're really ruthless." Saying this, she turned her head, scanned the area ahead, and continued, "If this hit me in the face, my face would be crooked."
The owner of the female voice snorted, "You're quite quick to dodge."
"I have to dodge quickly, I don't want to be hit. I believe you don't want to be hit either." With that, Mu Anxiao began to gather her magic in her hand.
"Your hand is injured. If you fight me like this, you..."
"Are you concerned about me?" Mu Anxiao said deliberately.
The owner of the female voice was speechless for a few seconds and said, "I just want you to retreat."
"Retreat," Mu Anxiao chuckled lightly. "I don't know how to write those words, so I don't understand the meaning. Why don't you explain it to me."
"Since you don't know, then don't blame me for being impolite."
"Impolite," Mu Anxiao muttered, looking up to see the sky changing dramatically.
The owner of the female voice said, "Since that's the case, let's start with this mortal." Saying this, a gray light flew directly towards Amei.
Seeing this, Mu Anxiao quickly created a boundary around Amei's body. The gray light hit the boundary and exploded.
Mu Anxiao breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, and said, "This is all you've got."
"You're quite fast."
"If you have the ability, come out and face me. Hiding in the dark, what kind of person are you?" Mu Anxiao stopped being flippant, her tone becoming exceptionally cold.
The owner of the female voice said, "I just want to test you, you..."
"I don't need to be tested by a demonic soul like you," Mu Anxiao said, turning sharply and unleashing her palm.
A blue light flew out, hitting the demonic soul, and the demonic soul vanished.
Mu Anxiao looked and mumbled, "It's not you." She then turned back and said, "It seems these are all your subordinates."
