Sure enough, after Mu Anxiao spoke, Ouyang Ye fell silent.
"...What?" Mu Anxiao didn't want to wait and became direct. "You think what I said is wrong."
"You mean the wolf demon breaks out in a rash when he sees Rose's face." Ouyang Ye said indifferently.
"Yes, you..."
"Then in this case, their fate... is as good as gone," Ouyang Ye interrupted Mu Anxiao inexplicably.
Seeing this, Mu Anxiao felt uneasy. "Yes, you..." She felt something was off with Ouyang Ye. "What do you want to do?"
"I will cure him," Ouyang Ye said, turning to walk toward the house.
At this, Mu Anxiao's heart sank. Without thinking, she quickly stepped forward and grabbed Ouyang Ye's arm. "You can't go," she said, tilting her head to stare at the back of Ouyang Ye's head.
"What are you doing?" Ouyang Ye asked, turning his head slightly to look at the anxious Mu Anxiao.
"You can't go. I think you need to think more about this," Mu Anxiao said, not wanting Ouyang Ye to see her abnormality.
"Think about what? I have my own way to cure his illness, and you're unhappy about it."
"I..."
"Let go," Ouyang Ye interrupted again.
Immediately, Mu Anxiao looked up at Ouyang Ye's stubborn expression and then thought of the wolf demon's resistance to Rose. An idea struck her, and she said, "It's that woman, isn't it."
"What?" Ouyang Ye didn't react... He was truly stunned by Mu Anxiao's words.
"Don't pretend. I'm talking about Mo Juan. If I'm not mistaken," Mu Anxiao said with a determined gaze, "it was Mo Juan who sent you here. You agreed to Rose's request only after listening to her, right."
"You..."
"It seems I hit the nail on the head. Indeed," Mu Anxiao interrupted intentionally. She knew she couldn't reason with Ouyang Ye, so she became unreasonable. "Your relationship with her is so good. Alas, I am such an unfortunate person to have come here with you. If I had known, I should have... forcefully refused you back in the mortal realm. That way, I wouldn't have to suffer here."
"You're going off topic," Ouyang Ye said indifferently.
Mu Anxiao intentionally tightened her grip on Ouyang Ye's arm. "Going off topic? I don't think I am. Rose said she already spoke to Mo Juan, and now she just needs your agreement. I thought you would oppose Mo Juan, but I didn't expect you to listen to her so easily. It's detestable."
"You are obstructing Rose and the wolf demon from getting married," Ouyang Ye accurately guessed Mu Anxiao's intentions.
From the moment Ouyang Ye was determined to find the wolf demon, Mu Anxiao had prepared herself to be exposed. As expected, the effect... was very successful. "Yes, I'm doing this for their own good," she said earnestly.
Ouyang Ye smiled.
Mu Anxiao was confused. "What are you laughing at? I'm doing this for their own good, especially for Rose."
"You're so kind," Ouyang Ye said, then glanced down at his arm being held by Mu Anxiao. He continued, "Alright, let go of my hand."
"I won't let go," Mu Anxiao said, her eyes sharp.
Ouyang Ye smiled helplessly. "You just want me to agree not to approve of this marriage, right."
"Yes," Mu Anxiao said resolutely.
"Fine, I'll listen to you," Ouyang Ye said indifferently.
Mu Anxiao's eyes lit up. "Really?" she asked, loosening her grip slightly.
"Really. Let go of my hand, and I'll tell you," he said, his gaze fixed on his arm held tightly by Mu Anxiao.
"You speak first, then I'll let go," Mu Anxiao didn't trust Ouyang Ye.
"Okay, I'll speak, and then you let go," Ouyang Ye admitted he couldn't win the argument with Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao nodded.
Ouyang Ye took a breath and said, "Before, Rose helped me a lot. To be honest, refusing her is simply impossible. Of course," he added, "you are different. You have a thick skin and are good at arguing. I believe she will listen if you just talk to her."
"But the decision is yours," Mu Anxiao said, realizing... Ouyang Ye was starting to evade the issue.
"Yes, but Rose has already told me about this, and I have agreed. Now, as long as you persuade her to come find me, I will also say that I respect her choice," Ouyang Ye completely absolved himself.
Mu Anxiao thought for a moment, then smiled. "You mean you're leaving everything to me."
Ouyang Ye replied, "Yes."
"You want me to offend her," Mu Anxiao said again.
Hearing Mu Anxiao's words, Ouyang Ye smiled indifferently. "Don't put it so seriously. It's just persuading her." As he spoke, he tugged at his arm.
"Persuading... isn't that offending someone?" Mu Anxiao said, showing no intention of letting go. "You're really sly, handing this kind of offending task to me."
"Since you're afraid of offending, then don't make these demands," Ouyang Ye said, a smile playing on his lips. "As far as I know, there is a type of sorcery that can make a demon's face break out in rashes, causing extreme itching. If I'm not mistaken, you used such a method, didn't you."
"..." Mu Anxiao's body stiffened, and she released his hand.
Ouyang Ye smiled faintly. "Mu Anxiao, your trick is truly brilliant."
"Who told you," Mu Anxiao knew she couldn't hide it anymore, so she got straight to the point.
Ouyang Ye chuckled. "No one told me. This place where demons cultivate is filled with roses and various other flowers. He has been here for so long without any issues, yet now... he has this pollen allergy. Anyone who hears this would find it strange."
"..." Mu Anxiao felt Ouyang Ye had a point and became guilty.
Seeing Mu Anxiao remain silent, Ouyang Ye continued, "Also, Rose said the wolf demon saved her a year ago. If he were allergic to pollen, it would have manifested immediately then. But the fact is, he has lived until now."
Mu Anxiao was embarrassed.
"Of course, it's not surprising that such a lie can come from your mouth," Ouyang Ye said suddenly.
Mu Anxiao retorted, "What do you mean by that?"
"It means nothing. You just think carefully about how to convince Rose or... the wolf demon," Ouyang Ye said, then disappeared.
Immediately, Mu Anxiao snorted, "Ouyang Ye, you just know too much." Saying this, she took a few steps back and leaned against a large tree.
Just then, Xiao Yi walked over. "Mu Anxiao, what's wrong?" she asked.
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao turned to look at Xiao Yi and casually said, "Nothing."
"Did Master come by?" Xiao Yi asked, stopping in front of Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao grunted and asked, "Did you see?"
