A long time ago, Mu Anxiao was a person who courted death with her words. Especially when she followed Shen Yan, she could always use her glib tongue to dissuade the monsters who wanted to kill her.
It was also because of this that Shen Yan always hid behind her with great confidence.
Since Shen Yan's death, her words gradually became fewer. In short, if she could use her hands, she would never use her mouth.
As the saying goes, a tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs. Since she had come back again, she gradually picked up this skill.
But even so, she would not boast about any member of the Mu family. Only when she was beaten would she speak a few flattering words with her mouth coated in honey, but it was limited to a few words. If a few words were ineffective, she could only endure the pain and continue to be beaten.
At first, she thought that even if she regained this skill, it would be useless. Unexpectedly, it was useful now. At this moment, her heart felt comfortable.
At the same time, a red light floated upwards along Mu Anxiao's line of sight and asked, "What are you doing?"
Mu Anxiao replied, "I'm looking at you."
"Looking at me..." The demon soul exclaimed in surprise and floated to Mu Anxiao's face again. "Are your ears okay?"
"They're fine," Mu Anxiao continued to gaze at the night sky.
Demon Soul: "Fine, I don't believe it."
"Why?" Mu Anxiao asked intentionally.
The demon soul cleared its throat and said, "I'm clearly in front of you, but you insist on saying I'm above. You..."
"You are a fairy. No matter where you are, you are in my heart and eyes," Mu Anxiao said, raising her finger to point at the sky. "You are always the brightest star in the sky."
The demon soul smiled when it heard this. "You young man, you're quite eloquent."
"I'm telling the truth," Mu Anxiao said. Fearing that the demon soul would see her appearance, she continued to look up at the sky. "By the way, you must be very beautiful."
"..." The demon soul smiled.
Listening to the demon soul's laughter, Mu Anxiao understood that she must be feeling delighted. Therefore, on this basis, she continued to say, "You are beautiful, and your heart must be beautiful too."
"Enough, if you praise me any further, I won't be able to take it," the demon soul's voice was full of laughter.
Immediately after the demon soul said this, Mu Anxiao abruptly lowered her head again.
Seeing this, the demon soul looked confused. "What do you mean by this now?"
Mu Anxiao lowered her head and stared intently at the ground, saying, "Fairies cannot be on the same level as mortals. I can feel that you are right in front of me, so I cannot look."
"You can't see me anyway," the demon soul said faintly, smiling.
"That won't do either. Fairy, the person you want is already in the carriage," Mu Anxiao said, gesturing towards the carriage.
Inside the carriage, You Xian, after being reminded by Mu Anxiao, became agitated and flailed her limbs.
Following Mu Anxiao's gesture, the demon soul glanced at the constantly moving curtain and frowned, saying, "Her wine hasn't worn off yet."
"She's awake, but the wine hasn't worn off," Mu Anxiao said. Since she could communicate with evil spirits, she was naturally able to hear the demon soul's voice.
"Is that so," the demon soul said, thinking of You Xian's drinking posture with those two fellows at the time, and sighed. "Speaking of which, she really can drink a lot."
"Yes, when I went in, she was almost sleeping like a dead pig. To be honest," Mu Anxiao turned back and said, "I had to pour several basins of water on her to wake her up. If I hadn't poured water, she really wouldn't have woken up." She knew the demon soul wouldn't recognize her, so she didn't lower her head.
"That must have been quite hard work for you."
"Not hard."
"Here, take some money," the demon soul said, dropping three taels of silver towards Mu Anxiao's feet along the red light.
Immediately, Mu Anxiao listened to the clanging sound of the silver falling on the ground, and her heart leaped with joy. However, considering her current identity, she did not appear so greedy for money and said, "Fairy, this is not good, is it?" She stared in the direction from which the sound came.
The demon soul smiled. "It's nothing. You've helped me so much, so you naturally deserve some reward." With that, the red light shot towards the carriage.
Seeing this, Mu Anxiao pretended to be calm and turned sideways to look at the red light that had instantly lifted the curtain, asking, "Fairy, what are you doing? The wind is really strong."
The curtain was lifted, the lantern in the carriage was extinguished, and the red light completely enveloped the entire carriage.
As Mu Anxiao had reminded her, You Xian deliberately sat on the ground, began to kick her legs, and threw a tantrum, crying and laughing alternately. Sometimes she said she was lucky, and sometimes she said she was pitiable.
In short, all sorts of unsightly behavior were performed in front of Mu Anxiao and the demon soul.
Mu Anxiao looked at the almost completely crazed You Xian inside with a look of helplessness, then looked at the red light lifting the curtain, and said intentionally, "Fairy, are you still there?"
Upon hearing this, the demon soul withdrew its attention, lowered the curtain, floated back to Mu Anxiao's front, and said in the clearest voice, "Help me, carry her to the palace gate."
"Ah?" Mu Anxiao feigned surprise, looking around in all directions.
The demon soul looked at Mu Anxiao's sudden dull behavior and was angered. "I'm talking to you, didn't you understand?"
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao turned her head back along the sound. "Fairy, your voice is really strange. Sometimes it's behind me, and sometimes it's on both sides, making it impossible for me to find you." After saying this, she did not forget to chuckle foolishly.
Demon Soul: "Stop messing around. Did you understand what I said?"
"I understood, but..." Mu Anxiao deliberately looked towards the carriage with a troubled expression. "I just saw that the woman there is going mad."
"You're afraid."
"I am a little afraid, to tell you the truth," Mu Anxiao said, lifting one of her sleeves and deliberately exposing her wound to the demon soul. "This old wound of mine turning into a new one was caused by that girl."
The demon soul did not look at Mu Anxiao's wound and said, "If you help me, I'll give you another five taels of silver."
More silver!
Mu Anxiao loved silver the most, and she had been short of money recently.
Now that the demon soul was constantly giving her silver, she suddenly had a thought of taking it without any guilt.
However, before that, she still had to pretend. "This is really embarrassing," she said, covering her wound and lowering her arm.
"Consider this as payment for your medical treatment and medicine. Go ahead," the demon soul said faintly.
Mu Anxiao showed a troubled expression again upon hearing this. "But she's still awake."
"Awake..." The demon soul uttered one word. Thinking of You Xian's frenzied appearance, it was indeed a bit scary. If she started shouting again halfway, things would be troublesome. So, using Mu Anxiao's worry, she thought for a moment and said, "Wait a moment." With that, she changed direction and suddenly flew towards the carriage.
