The arrogance of Mu Anxiao vanished completely after the explosion.
She was now sitting on the ground, her eyes filled with sorrow, reminiscing about her past with Feng Qi Shi and considering Wan Sha’s suicide suggestion. She couldn't help but pout.
Seeing Mu Anxiao in this state, Wan Sha smiled, "Scared?"
Mu Anxiao: "..." Her heart was filled with fear.
Gui Xiao looked at Mu Anxiao with schadenfreude, saying, "No one can save you now. Just wait to die, Mu Anxiao."
Hearing Gui Xiao's voice, Mu Anxiao became furious.
However, considering her current situation, she knew she couldn't oppose them.
So, she lifted her face and said, "Can you allow me to collect the bodies of Feng Qi Shi and the others?"
Wan Sha replied, "I didn't collect Wan Xia's body."
Mu Anxiao: "..." She knew Wan Sha would bring up Wan Xia again and was rendered speechless.
Wan Sha asked, "Doesn't it hurt to lose the most important person in your life?"
Hurt?
If it was about pain, she had already experienced it decades ago when Shen Yan misunderstood her.
Speaking of pain now, she didn't feel it.
In other words, she only felt regret over Feng Qi Shi's death.
"..." She lowered her head.
Seeing Mu Anxiao's melancholic appearance, Wan Sha's lips curved. She summoned a dagger and said, "It's your turn." She then threw the dagger beside Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao: "..." She stared at the dagger, swallowed, and feigned ignorance, "Why did you give me a dagger?"
"Have you forgotten what I said?"
"What did you say?" Mu Anxiao asked, tilting her head up.
Wan Sha's eyes darkened. She squatted down, grabbed Mu Anxiao by her collar, and said, "Are you looking for death?"
Mu Anxiao replied, choking back a sob, "Can't you see I'm in mourning?"
"Mourning?" Wan Sha met Mu Anxiao's eyes. Seeing the tears welling up, she released her grip. "Feng Qi Shi was very important to you."
Mu Anxiao: "Yes."
"I can't see that."
"What do you mean?"
"You think you have a feud with him, you hate him, but for him, it was unrequited love."
"Unrequited love?"
"He likes you, I can see it."
Hearing Wan Sha's words, Mu Anxiao lowered her head.
However, Mu Anxiao's behavior was solely due to Feng Qi Shi's numerous confessions. She recalled his method of brainwashing her.
Naturally, he would deliberately act favorably towards her in front of outsiders, making those demons and ghosts mistakenly believe he liked her very much.
Therefore, she did not take Wan Sha's words to heart.
"I think you like Wan Xia," she said, intentionally changing the subject.
Wan Sha responded, "I do like Wan Xia, because of you," she said, "I lost the qualification to like him."
Wan Xia again?
From beginning to end, Wan Sha had been threatening her with Wan Xia. Mu Anxiao was tired of hearing it.
However, putting herself in Wan Sha's shoes, she thought she might have done the same. xxs1
So, she was once again rendered speechless.
"..."
Gui Xiao interjected, "Why are you talking so much nonsense with her? The boss said that as soon as we catch her, we execute her directly."
Hearing this, Wan Sha stood up and looked at Gui Xiao, "How I choose to punish her is my business, what does it have to do with you?"
"You..." Gui Xiao hesitated, then sneered, "Tell me, are you going soft?"
"I am not."
"If not, why aren't you acting?"
"I don't want to."
"Don't want to," Gui Xiao looked down at Mu Anxiao, "Then I'll do it for you."
"If you do it, as long as you dare to act, I can guarantee that your end will be miserable."
"What do you mean?" Gui Xiao shifted his gaze back to Wan Sha.
Wan Sha explained with a smirk, "Her dying herself would only attract the Yin Messengers who aren't pursuing us. But," she curved her lips, "if you act, then I can say your end will be the loss of your freedom."
"I'm not afraid."
"Not afraid." Wan Sha nodded slightly, "Alright then, I'll hand her life over to you."
For some time now, Wan Sha had realized that Mu Anxiao was a little immortal who feared death.
Therefore, she was certain that Mu Anxiao would not easily give her life to this brat Gui Xiao.
At this moment, Mu Anxiao temporarily set aside her grief. She knew her only option was to stall for time, contact Zhang Yan to rescue her, and inform the old gentleman about the actions of these demon souls.
She thought that the old gentleman, upon hearing this, would surely be enraged and descend to resolve these guys directly. Then, she could properly hold a funeral for Feng Qi Shi and the others.
However, if Gui Xiao were to act, her inner thoughts would be shattered.
Thinking this, she glanced at Wan Sha, who had turned her back, and said, "I still think it's best if I commit suicide."
Gui Xiao retorted, "Your suicide will only waste our time." As he spoke, he bent down and grabbed Mu Anxiao's arm.
The next second, Mu Anxiao was dragged to her feet.
Seeing this, Gu Xiao glanced at A Xia, "..."
A Xia also looked at Gu Xiao, then a flash of inspiration struck her. "She hurt me the most. Her life should belong to me," she stepped forward.
Gu Xiao blinked in surprise and played along, "My grudges with her are not shallow either. Her life is mine." He walked to A Xia's side.
Immediately, A Xia forcefully bumped Gu Xiao's arm and said, "Her life is mine, what does it have to do with you, you coward?"
"I am the strongest among the demon souls. Her life should rightfully be mine."
"Who gave you that confidence?"
"I gave it to myself," Gu Xiao said, turning to look at the demon souls who were itching to kill Mu Anxiao. "I am different from you good-for-nothings, demon souls who only listen to the Demon King's orders. She hurt me, so her life is mine." With that, he quickly moved in front of Mu Anxiao, raised his fist, and unexpectedly punched her left eye.
Immediately, Mu Anxiao's mind went blank. She closed her left eye and lowered her head.
Gu Xiao shook his hand and looked at Gui Xiao, "Her life is mine."
Gui Xiao retorted, "Kid, you've gotten a lot bolder since I last saw you."
Gu Xiao challenged, "How long can you stay in the Demon Realm?" As he asked, he raised his hand and forcefully chopped at Gui Xiao's hand.
Immediately, Gui Xiao loosened his grip on Mu Anxiao's arm and said angrily, "Do you want to die!"
"I'm already dead. By the way," Gu Xiao sneered, "You're a demon soul, and you still feel pain? How embarrassing."
"Who says I feel pain?"
"Then why did you let go?" Gu Xiao deliberately provoked Gui Xiao while stepping back a few paces.
Gui Xiao took several steps forward, standing face to face with Gu Xiao, and said, "I want to beat you." With that, he raised his fist and swung it towards Gu Xiao.
The next second, Gu Xiao quickly retreated, dodging Gui Xiao's attack.
