Then, Mu Anxiao cautiously walked forward, gazing at the high mountains not far away, smelling the floral fragrance in the air, and spreading her arms... Suddenly, she felt an urge to embrace nature, but the Demon Realm was still the Demon Realm, and she did not want to share this beautiful scenery with Ouyang Ye. So, she retracted her pleasant mood, turned to look at Ouyang Ye, and asked without any tact, "Why did you bring me here?"
Ouyang Ye knew... Mu Anxiao would never easily accept the beautiful scenery he gifted her. But even so, he was not angry. Instead, he happily accepted Mu Anxiao's reaction and said, "So many unpleasant things happened in Jin Cheng, and your mood must have been affected, so I wanted to bring you here to change your mood." He came in front of Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao looked up at Ouyang Ye's self-satisfied expression, snorted, and said, "I will not accept your kindness."
"But you did let me protect you," Ouyang Ye said lightly.
Protect?
Hearing Ouyang Ye's words, Mu Anxiao couldn't help but recall her own dependent reaction to him just now. Her heart sank, and she said, "I just didn't want... to be killed by you as soon as I arrived here, so..." Her eyes darted away, and she continued, "That was purely an instinctive reaction."
"Oh?"
"What do you mean 'Oh'? In short, I don't like the scenery here at all," Mu Anxiao said, meeting Ouyang Ye's eyes firmly to show her determination.
Ouyang Ye chuckled, "You're just being stubborn." xxs1
"You..."
"Do you want to know why the Demon Realm here is different from the Demon Realm you see?" Ouyang Ye continued patiently.
However, what Ouyang Ye said was precisely what Mu Anxiao wanted to know. Therefore, to get the answer, she had to put down her haughty demeanor and ask, "Why?"
"Because this is the Demon Realm I envisioned," Ouyang Ye said calmly.
Mu Anxiao's expression froze.
Seeing this, Ouyang Ye looked confused, "What's with that expression?"
Mu Anxiao glared fiercely at Ouyang Ye and said impatiently, "Ouyang Ye, I find you to be so fond of talking nonsense. Just answer what I ask, why are you talking about your grand ideals? I don't like listening at all."
"You haven't been to the Celestial Realm, have you?" Ouyang Ye suddenly said.
At this moment, Ouyang Ye had touched a sore spot for Mu Anxiao. Her eyes sank, and she turned her face away, too lazy to bother with him.
Seeing this, Ouyang Ye smiled, "I knew you hadn't been to the Celestial Realm."
"Who says I haven't been? I have," Mu Anxiao said, suddenly remembering... Before she went to the mortal world to find Feng Qi, she seemed to have gone to the Celestial Realm to find Master Shen Yan. Although that memory was not very deep, in her impression, she had been to the Celestial Realm.
"The scenery there..."
"I went there for work, so I didn't have time to sightsee. Who is like you, all day, only knowing how to sightsee? No wonder," Mu Anxiao said, glancing at Ouyang Ye, and muttered, "You're not as promising as Ye Yin. You don't focus on work at all, truly..."
"It's Yuan Xian who couldn't recognize true talent. My conditions are clearly better than Ye Yin's," Ouyang Ye interrupted coldly, having heard Mu Anxiao's words.
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao snorted and said, "Yes, your conditions are indeed better than Ye Yin's, but the fact is, Ye Yin is more capable than you."
"She's just a demon."
"So what if she's a demon? She hasn't done anything evil. Her life's goal was to become an immortal, and in the end, she ascended to heaven through her own efforts. What, jealous?"
"You know her very well," Ouyang Ye said coldly.
Mu Anxiao: "Of course I know her. We have a deep friendship." After saying that, she smugly met Ouyang Ye's eyes.
Ouyang Ye had always known this, but hearing these words from Mu Anxiao's mouth made him uncomfortable. "In your eyes, am I that bad?"
"You're not just bad, you're also narcissistic, wicked, and cunning, but I can understand all of that," Mu Anxiao said seriously.
Ouyang Ye frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"
"Demons... their character should be similar," Mu Anxiao judged Ouyang Ye based on her own perceptions.
"You..."
"However, I think Piao is better than you," Mu Anxiao deliberately provoked Ouyang Ye.
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Ye clenched his fists, "Mu Anxiao, my patience with you is limited." He said, frowning.
"You can't kill me, can you?" Mu Anxiao pushed her luck, intentionally provoking Ouyang Ye.
Ouyang Ye's eyes turned red with anger, "Mu Anxiao, since you've come here with me, you naturally have to understand my rules. If you keep pushing your luck and touch my bottom line," he said, grabbing Mu Anxiao's arm, "Don't blame me for being impolite."
"You're impolite to me," Mu Anxiao said, glancing at the arm Ouyang Ye was holding, and smiled, "You'd better kill me."
"Do you think I wouldn't dare?" Ouyang Ye retorted, pulling Mu Anxiao in front of him.
Then, Mu Anxiao looked down at the wet surface of her shoes, then looked up at Ouyang Ye, who was staring intently at her, and sneered, "Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
"Soon, you'll be devoted to me," Ouyang Ye said, extending his hand and conjuring a small bottle.
Mu Anxiao exclaimed, "What are you doing?"
"Devotion Water," Ouyang Ye's lips curled, and he gently pushed open the stopper at the mouth of the bottle with his thumb. "Drink it, and see if you dare disobey me." After he finished speaking, the stopper turned into black light and disappeared the moment it hit the ground.
Mu Anxiao glanced at the disappearing stopper, then quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth.
Ouyang Ye smiled, "Jia and Hun Ling should be here soon."
"..." Mu Anxiao's eyes widened.
Ouyang Ye continued, "If you don't drink it, I'll throw them all into the Black Abyss. Any immortal who enters there..."
"You dare," Mu Anxiao was startled and lowered her hand. (She didn't know the place, but the name genuinely scared her.)
"Whether I dare or not depends on whether you're obedient," Ouyang Ye said, holding the bottle to Mu Anxiao's mouth. "Open your mouth."
"What will happen to me if I drink this?" Mu Anxiao glanced at the bottle and asked.
Ouyang Ye smiled, "You'll only have me in your heart forever, you'll do whatever I tell you to do, and from then on... you'll lose yourself, it's that simple."
"Lose myself?" Mu Anxiao was shocked, never expecting Ouyang Ye's methods to be so insidious.
"Drink..."
"I won't drink."
"You..."
