Mu Anxiao believed that the soul would definitely help Jia and Lou Yi. The moment she ran out of the room, she decided to stall for time for them. As for Feng Qishi, she thought that with her own abilities, she definitely couldn't save him. So, what she could do now was to pretend to cooperate in front of Ouyang Ye and make Ouyang Ye personally agree to lift the poison.
Now, listening to Ouyang Ye's words, Mu Anxiao could only smile faintly, "..." She deliberately remained silent.
Seeing this, Ouyang Ye was confused, "What are you smiling about?"
"You've said it all. My death is a small matter. If it implicates others' lives, then my sins will be grave," Mu Anxiao said. "In other words, my death will only become an excuse for you to commit murder and kill immortals. Based on these, I must live well, watch you, and keep an eye on you."
"Since you've realized all this," Ouyang Ye chuckled.
Mu Anxiao glanced at Ouyang Ye and said nothing.
"You now..."
"I've agreed to follow you. Can you lift the poison for Feng Qishi now?" Mu Anxiao steered the conversation back.
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Ye's face darkened. "You're still thinking about Feng Qishi. You..." Yu Xiaosheng.
"You know, my becoming an immortal is entirely due to Shen Yan. His master already dislikes me. If he dies now, his master will definitely find every way to kill me. By then," Mu Anxiao interrupted, looking at Ouyang Ye calmly, "you will not only have to hide from Yuan Xian, but also from Feng Qishi's master. You..."
"You are the one who needs to hide."
"You were the one who poisoned Feng Qishi. Even if I don't say anything, his master can find out. In other words," Mu Anxiao said with a soft snort, "at most, I am a party to dying together. But you are different. You are their real enemy. When the heavenly realm sends troops down, you will truly have no way to survive."
"Do you think they can subdue me?" Ouyang Ye retorted.
Mu Anxiao shrugged her shoulders. "Who knows? But I know that his master once had a disciple who stayed in the demon realm for a long time. That is..." She said, glancing at Ouyang Ye, "the situation is similar to yours. He has now been imprisoned in the heavenly prison. Do you know what this means?"
"What do you want to say?" Ouyang Ye was confused by Mu Anxiao's words.
Mu Anxiao smiled. "I want to say that you are not a pure demon. The great demons of the demon realm are all very selfish. As long as you get into trouble, they will definitely betray you. No matter how high your status in the demon realm is, you probably won't be able to escape trouble."
After experiencing so many things, Mu Anxiao thought that the demon realm was actually like the mortal realm. There were different demons inside, and those demons also had high and low statuses, noble and humble distinctions. If she guessed correctly, Ouyang Ye's status in the demon realm was at most the same as Feng Qishi's status in the mortal realm, a general.
In that case, there must be demons above him who governed him, and everything he did... should also require the approval of his superiors. Therefore... as long as she said this, he would definitely not dare to act recklessly.
"You know the demon realm very well," Ouyang Ye said calmly.
Mu Anxiao's eyes flickered slightly. "I don't know it well, but I know a little."
"You indeed only know a little," Ouyang Ye said calmly.
Mu Anxiao was stunned upon hearing this. "What do you mean by that?"
"Let me tell you a secret," Ouyang Ye smiled and leaned down, bringing his face close to Mu Anxiao's.
Mu Anxiao frowned upon seeing this. "A secret? You have secrets?" she asked, her heart suddenly becoming uneasy.
"Those who follow me live, and those who oppose me die. Do you understand the meaning of this sentence?" Ouyang Ye retorted.
Immediately, Mu Anxiao repeated Ouyang Ye's words aloud, her heart sinking. "I don't understand what you mean." She knew that this implication was not good, so she pretended to be foolish.
Ouyang Ye laughed.
Mu Anxiao frowned. "What are you laughing at?"
"Someone as smart as you can still be confused. I don't believe it," Ouyang Ye said, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. "The mortal realm has its king, and the heavenly realm also has its king. Naturally, the demon and monster realms also have their kings. Do you understand what I mean?"
"The demon realm and the monster realm are separate, aren't they?"
"Soon, they will be one family," Ouyang Ye said with conviction.
One family?
Mu Anxiao couldn't help but laugh out loud upon hearing Ouyang Ye's confident reply.
Ouyang Ye wasn't angry. Instead, he started laughing along with Mu Anxiao. "Do you think what I said is particularly funny?"
"Isn't it funny?" Mu Anxiao countered, scanning Ouyang Ye's face. She continued, "Since ancient times, the monster realm and the demon realm have not been one. The monster realm has always been supervised by the heavenly realm. The heavenly realm..."
"Stop flattering them," Ouyang Ye interrupted.
Mu Anxiao scoffed. "What flattery? I'm just telling the truth."
"The truth," Ouyang Ye sneered. "What is the heavenly realm? If the heavenly realm were capable, why would so many demons become demons? They only know how to oppress the monster realm. What else can they do? Mu Anxiao," he straightened up and snorted, "you are too naive."
"You are naive, you..."
"Ye Yin has already become an immortal. Why are you still here?" Ouyang Ye got straight to the point.
Mu Anxiao was completely unfazed by Ouyang Ye's leading questions and sneered. "She cultivated herself into a demon through her own efforts, and her goal was to become an immortal. However, she lacked an opportunity. When the opportunity came, she naturally became an immortal. As for me," she said with composure, "I only became an immortal after drinking Shen Yan's immortal blood. What is owed must be repaid. I am just repaying my debt. Once the debt is repaid, I can naturally become a member of the heavenly realm."
"They will not give you a chance," Ouyang Ye's emotions stabilized.
"They gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it."
"That can be considered a chance, making my days feel like years. You..."
"In the heavenly realm, aren't all days like years? Your becoming an immortal and going to the heavenly realm shows that you were once a good person, Ouyang Ye," Mu Anxiao frowned. "The reason you've become like this, I believe... is all your own doing. You..."
"Shut up," Ouyang Ye growled, then narrowed his eyes. "In short, the demon and monster realms will soon be one family. You... will also soon become my wife. At that time, you will know everything."
"Know everything..." Mu Anxiao ignored Ouyang Ye's previous words and frowned. "What do you want to do?"
"When things are done, I will tell you my identity," Ouyang Ye said, turning around.
Seeing this, Mu Anxiao quickly said, "Ouyang Ye, where are you going?"
"You are right. At this critical juncture, I cannot bring trouble upon myself," Ouyang Ye said, tilting his head slightly. "Come with me."
"You want to save Feng Qishi," Mu Anxiao said softly.
Ouyang Ye said coldly, "I won't save him."
"Then what do you want to do?" Mu Anxiao asked, taking a step forward and grabbing Ouyang Ye's arm.
