Hearing the sound, Ouyang Ye immediately withdrew his gaze fixed on the woman's face and looked at Mu Anxiao, asking, "What's wrong?"
"You helped Lin Zhao eliminate the nightmare," Mu Anxiao said, deliberately glancing at the woman.
The woman froze.
Ouyang Ye nodded, "It was me." He smiled and looked at the woman again, "I think... she is very suitable to serve you."
"Why should I serve her?" the woman said anxiously.
Mu Anxiao also expressed her confusion about Ouyang Ye's decision, "Why did you choose her?"
"I don't want to leave any monsters in this place that brings me sorrow, so naturally, I will take her away."
"What sad memories did this place leave you with?" Mu Anxiao found it unbelievable.
"You," Ouyang Ye said, tightening his grip on Mu Anxiao's arm. "I have erased everyone's memories, including your memories." After speaking, he smiled at Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao's eyes widened, "What did you do?"
"Don't worry," Ouyang Ye smiled. "I didn't touch the memories of the Mu Mansion's people, but that Hong'er is useful to me."
"What did you do to Jia?" Mu Anxiao became anxious.
Ouyang Ye smiled, "I never lay hands on children. However, I plan to have them stay by your side to serve you," he said. "As far as I know, Jia seems quite important to you."
The reason Mu Anxiao had been so resolute with Feng Qishi in front of Ouyang Ye was that she didn't want to involve him. Little did she know that Ouyang Ye had set his sights on Jia after all this. Her heart sank, and she hurriedly said, "Where is Jia..."
"Not only Jia, but also the soul kid."
Mu Anxiao's heart sank completely.
Seeing Mu Anxiao's expression of disbelief, Ouyang Ye smiled, "I know you probably don't like demons from the demon realm serving you. If that's the case, wouldn't it be better to find some familiar faces to serve you?" As he spoke, Jia, Hunling, Hong'er, and Xie Shou all appeared before them.
Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief seeing Xie Shou was unharmed.
"Jia, Hunling," Mu Anxiao said quickly.
Immediately, Jia and Hunling both looked up at Mu Anxiao, "..." Both of them had been enchanted and were unable to speak.
Seeing their state, Mu Anxiao felt immense pain. "Ouyang Ye, you can take me, but let them go." She looked up at Ouyang Ye, having the thought of begging him.
Ouyang Ye smiled, "No, otherwise..."
"I don't need anyone to serve me; I can take care of myself, including..." Mu Anxiao said, thinking of the woman's preference for freedom, she deliberately glanced towards the woman and said, "her."
The woman was surprised that Mu Anxiao was still thinking of her at this critical moment.
On the contrary, Ouyang Ye smiled, "This kind of kindness of yours needs to change." As he spoke, he pulled Mu Anxiao in front of him, "If you want them to live, obey me."
"You're threatening me," Mu Anxiao glared at Ouyang Ye.
Ouyang Ye's lips curved, "I don't like this tomboy attire of yours. When we get to the demon realm, you must change it." Saying this, he let go.
Mu Anxiao frowned, "What are you talking about..."
"I only like to hear pleasant words; I will ignore unpleasant ones. You'll have to get used to it," Ouyang Ye interrupted, gave a look to his subordinates, and then took Mu Anxiao's hand and vanished.
Gu Yan smiled and looked at Xie Shou, "You're coming back to the demon realm with us."
"Yes," Xie Shou nodded, pulling the rope that bound Jia and Hunling, and disappeared with Gu Yan and the others.
Surrounded by black light and with a biting cold wind, Mu Anxiao was brought by Ouyang Ye to a dark area. Looking down, Mu Anxiao saw the vortex beneath her feet and couldn't help but say, "This is not the path to the demon realm."
Hearing this, Ouyang Ye tightened his grip on Mu Anxiao and smiled faintly, "I'm taking you to a good place."
"You're going to take me to a good place, Ouyang Ye," Mu Anxiao dared not move rashly, pulling Ouyang Ye's hand helplessly. "Do you think you're being mysterious and powerful like this?"
"I know you like Feng Qishi," Ouyang Ye suddenly said.
Mu Anxiao looked up at Ouyang Ye's jealous expression and sneered, "You really know how to..."
"What is that sparrow?" Ouyang Ye interrupted.
Upon hearing this, Mu Anxiao smiled, "What sparrow? I don't understand what you're talking about."
"When you were leaving, you said there would be a sparrow..."
"You're talking about what I told Feng Qishi before I left," Mu Anxiao said, being pulled forcefully by Ouyang Ye, she leaned into his arms helplessly and continued, "I was just talking nonsense."
"I saw a sparrow in the courtyard," Ouyang Ye looked down at Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao wanted to get up but couldn't, looking at the vortex still present below. She said, "There are sparrows everywhere in the sky. When I wake up, I can see dozens of them." She glanced at the hand Ouyang Ye had placed on her shoulder and asked, "Which one are you talking about?"
"..." Ouyang Ye was speechless.
Mu Anxiao added, "Your biggest flaw is being suspicious. If you continue like this, you'll only wrongly kill more loyal demons."
"Give an example."
"Gu Yan," Mu Anxiao said indifferently.
Ouyang Ye smiled, "Then after we get married, you can remind me properly, this way," he said, holding Mu Anxiao tighter, "I won't make mistakes."
The moment Ouyang Ye hugged her tighter, Mu Anxiao showed an expression of disgust. At the same time, the vortex beneath their feet gradually turned into clouds, and the wind around them suddenly became gentle. Simultaneously, Ouyang Ye released his 'restraint' on Mu Anxiao and said, "Look, isn't it beautiful?" As he spoke, he let go.
Mu Anxiao and Ouyang Ye flew in mid-air, then looked through the clouds at the villages below. She was astonished, "Is this the demon realm?" she asked, turning to look at Ouyang Ye.
Ouyang Ye smiled faintly, "Yes."
"Impossible. The demon realm is surrounded by gloomy forests. How could there be such a place? Oh, I see," Mu Anxiao said, turning to face Ouyang Ye, "All of this is an illusion you created, right?"
"I want to create a brand new demon realm," Ouyang Ye said deeply.
"..." Mu Anxiao frowned.
Seeing this, Ouyang Ye mimicked Mu Anxiao and frowned, "What do you mean by that?"
"This place is just an illusion," Mu Anxiao said coldly.
"All of this is real."
"Impossible, you..."
"I am the master of this place," Ouyang Ye interrupted, extending his hand to Mu Anxiao.
