The wolf demon chuckled, "It seems I hit the nail on the head. So," he stepped forward and placed a hand on Song Xi's shoulder, "don't act spoiled in front of your wife. As the saying goes, showing affection... leads to an early demise." He then withdrew his hand.
Song Xi frowned.
Xi'er, listening to the wolf demon's incomprehensible words and seeing Song Xi's bewildered expression, put on a stern face. "What are you saying?"
Upon hearing this, the wolf demon looked at Xi'er with a broad smile. "You don't understand."
"You're insulting my husband," Xi'er said, clearly angry.
Song Xi watched Xi'er speak up for him, then turned his gaze back to the still smiling wolf demon. Just as he was about to speak, the wolf demon burst into laughter. "You really are good at pretending not to understand. But to disappoint you, I was insulting both of you." He pointed at Song Xi and Xi'er respectively.
Xi'er clenched her fists. "I think you're just asking for death." With that, she moved to step forward.
Seeing this, Song Xi quickly grabbed Xi'er's arm. "My dear, let's not stoop to their level. Just ignore him." As he spoke, he turned his gaze towards Mu Anxiao in the distance.
Xi'er couldn't see anything, so seeing Song Xi act this way, she couldn't help but become curious about the situation over there. "You can see?"
"I thought I could show off my skills, but who knew, she just used me as bait." Song Xi sighed lightly, feeling a sense of defeat. However, under this feeling, he began to worry about Mu Anxiao's safety. "She'll definitely be fine."
"Are you concerned about her?" Xi'er took notice of Song Xi's concern for Mu Anxiao.
Hearing this, Song Xi turned to look at Xi'er and smiled faintly. "You're jealous."
Xi'er lowered her head.
Song Xi said, "No matter what, we're all in this together now. If she can deal with that demon-eating beast, it will be..." He patted Xi'er's shoulder, "...good for all of us."
"Master hasn't even..."
"Mu Anxiao is different from your master," the wolf demon interrupted Xi'er, unable to stand it.
Hearing this, Xi'er immediately shifted her gaze back to the wolf demon's face. "Why are you everywhere?"
"Mu Anxiao's combat experience is definitely greater than your master's, and she's certainly faced more monsters than your master has. So," the wolf demon transformed into a 'fan' of Mu Anxiao, "she can definitely defeat the demon-eating beast and bring back Jiongye's soul." He said with a determined expression.
Xi'er looked at the wolf demon's confident expression towards Mu Anxiao and was speechless.
"I believe you," Song Xi said. Suddenly, his vision blurred. This sudden blur made him anxious. "What's happening? Why can't I... see over there anymore?" He squinted his eyes.
Xi'er frowned.
Conversely, Zhao Meier's mind couldn't help but conjure the image of Mu Anxiao battling that monster a year ago. Blinking, she stood in the same spot as the wolf demon. "I also believe Mu Anxiao can definitely fight that monster. She will surely return victorious, just like last year."
Hearing this, the wolf demon turned to look at Zhao Meier, who had inexplicably started supporting Mu Anxiao, with great surprise. A smile played on his lips. "It seems the sun in the mortal realm must have risen from the west today."
"I'm speaking the truth," Zhao Meier's eyes were firm.
The wolf demon gave a dry laugh, glancing at Song Xi, who was distressed by his inability to see into the distance. Then, with a smile that showed no sign of relenting, he sneered, "If Mu Anxiao hadn't saved your life, you probably wouldn't be speaking so favorably of her." He then shook his head. Wind.
Zhao Meier's eyes darkened. "Wolf demon, you're right, but I won't allow you to trample on my sincerity."
The wolf demon smiled.
Seeing this, Zhao Meier immediately showed a confused expression. "What are you laughing at? Do my words sound so funny to you?"
"Aren't they funny?" the wolf demon retorted.
Zhao Meier paused upon hearing the wolf demon's words and continued, "I don't care what you think of me. What I say is the truth."
"I hope you won't go back on your word and hurt Mu Anxiao in the end," the wolf demon said directly, turning his gaze to Song Xi, who was still leaning forward, trying his best to see through the mist and smoke. He smiled.
Xi'er saw through the wolf demon's mockery of Song Xi and said unhappily, "Wolf demon, are you looking for trouble?"
"Trouble," the wolf demon uttered the word and shifted his gaze back to Xi'er's face. "No, I certainly want to continue being around."
"Why are you laughing at my husband?" Xi'er widened her eyes.
The wolf demon shrugged his shoulders. As soon as he turned around, his gaze collided with Song Xi's. "What is it?" he asked, feigning ignorance.
"Why are you mocking me?" Song Xi had always been proud of his clairvoyance, but in this situation, he found it difficult to accept.
"I'm not."
"You're not, so why are you laughing?" Song Xi said, agitated.
The wolf demon completely disregarded Song Xi's state and maintained his smile. "I'm laughing at you for not being able to see this."
"What?" Song Xi was stunned.
The wolf demon's face turned cold. "Mu Anxiao has sealed your demonic power."
"Mu Anxiao..." Song Xi repeated, his face filled with questions. "Why would she do that?" he asked, looking down at his hands.
The wolf demon smiled.
Song Xi disliked the wolf demon's nonchalant attitude and became angry. "I'm asking you a question, so answer me properly. Can you stop being evasive? You're really asking for a beating like this." He clenched his fists.
Xi'er had never seen Song Xi like this before and was shocked.
Conversely, the wolf demon calmly glanced at Song Xi's tightly clenched hands, then lowered his eyes and smiled. "If you keep using your demonic power, the demon-eating beast will directly detect us. She did this to prevent that from happening. I really don't know what you're so troubled about." He shook his head.
When Song Xi heard the wolf demon's explanation, the anxiety in his heart instantly subsided. "You mean Mu Anxiao is protecting us."
Xi'er blinked.
The moment the wolf demon said this, Zhao Meier breathed a sigh of relief again.
The wolf demon nodded. "That's more or less the meaning."
"So," Song Xi said, his eyes lighting up, "my demonic power hasn't disappeared."
"..." The wolf demon froze for a few seconds as Song Xi spoke, then suddenly understood. "Oh... you've been hesitating all this time... because you thought your demonic power was gone, and that's why you were... like that." As he spoke, he gained a new perspective on Song Xi.
Song Xi nodded awkwardly.
The wolf demon was speechless.
Zhao Meier couldn't help but laugh at Song Xi's statement. "I knew it. How could a demon who cultivates demonic arts be so selfless? As expected... it's selfishness."
"If you're talking about my husband, I'll cut out your tongue," Xi'er said, pointing at Zhao Meier.
Zhao Meier: "..." She quickly covered her mouth.
