"Hand..."
"No, what if you bite my finger open?" Mu Anxiao interrupted, diverting her gaze.
The little boy hesitantly glanced at the first man in black who was staring at Mu Anxiao, and said, "He saw it. You're responsible."
"I'm talking to you, so I'm not afraid of these things," Mu Anxiao said, picking up a new cup.
The first man in black chuckled at Mu Anxiao's demeanor. "Haha, you're quite the actress, girl."
"..." Mu Anxiao said nothing, and instead picked up the teapot, filling her own cup.
Seeing this, the first man in black immediately took out a small bottle from his embrace. "This isn't tea. Here, I have some top-grade tea." As he spoke, he slightly bent down, offering the bottle to Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao put down the teapot, tilted her head to look at the first man in black's punchable face, and remained silent.
"Girl, do you want some?"
"You're very disruptive to us," Mu Anxiao said, glancing at the little boy who was about to pick up his teacup.
When the little boy saw Mu Anxiao look at him, he reached out and grasped the cup, saying, "He's not a good person."
"He's definitely not a good person," Mu Anxiao nodded slightly, agreeing with the little boy.
Upon seeing this, the little boy immediately picked up the cup.
Just then, the first man in black happened to look at the cup soaring into the air and froze, "..." His eyes widened slightly.
Mu Anxiao said, "He said if you keep bothering us, he'll kill you." She then chuckled lightly, picked up the cup, and took a sip of water.
The little boy also took a sip of water.
The first man in black witnessed this entire scene. "No way," he said, his face full of dread.
Mu Anxiao put down the cup and looked up at the small bottle in the first man in black's hand, asking, "Watch me."
Hearing this, the first man in black swallowed twice, then looked back at Mu Anxiao's face, his eyes widening. "It's you."
"You recognize me?" Mu Anxiao said, standing up.
The first man in black was startled. "You... it's you! You're the one who tied us to a tree that night. If it weren't for your mercy, we would have been fed to the wolves."
"I remember now," Mu Anxiao said, giving the little boy a look.
Upon seeing it, the little boy put down the cup in his hand.
The first man in black nodded.
In contrast, the second man in black hadn't recognized Mu Anxiao yet. He walked over, saying, "It's just a little girl, and you can't even handle her. You're useless." He then stopped beside the first man in black.
Mu Anxiao turned her face towards the second man in black.
The second man in black still didn't recognize Mu Anxiao and said, "Just drinking plain water, isn't that too flavorless?"
At the same time, the little boy looked at Mu Anxiao, "..."
Mu Anxiao sensed the little boy's gaze and shook her head slightly.
Seeing this, the little boy retracted his hand that was reaching for the teacup and fixed his gaze on the faces of the two men in black as if watching a show.
The first man in black noticed Mu Anxiao's eyes and dared not speak.
Mu Anxiao ignored the first man in black, lowered her head, and looked at the plain water in the cup. "Drinking tea this late at night will keep you awake. This is common sense," she said, looking up at the second man in black, "don't you know that?"
"Sleeping is so boring. Nighttime is for fun."
"Fun..." Mu Anxiao smiled and nodded slightly. "Yes, what you said makes sense. At night, one should have fun. Here, how about I introduce you to a place?" She glanced at the first man in black, who had already recognized her.
The first man in black gave a dry laugh. "No need."
"Why no need? Tell me, where are you introducing us?" the second man in black said fearlessly.
Mu Anxiao asked, "The Jade Flower Pavilion. Ever heard of it?"
"Jade Flower Pavilion? Is that a place of ill repute?" the second man in black said, laughing. "That's a good place, but I don't like the scent there; it's too strong."
"You're quite picky."
"Girl, how about we become friends?" the second man in black asked with a smile.
Mu Anxiao replied, "Friends? Are you sure you want to be friends with me? Let me tell you," she said, walking around the tables and chairs to stand beside the second man in black, "being friends with me is quite miserable."
Hearing this, the second man in black still didn't detect anything, turned to Mu Anxiao, and smiled, "What's so miserable about it? Let me take you somewhere."
"No, let me take you somewhere instead."
Hearing Mu Anxiao's words, the first man in black took a step back, "..." He dared not provoke Mu Anxiao anymore.
The second man in black heard this, frowned, "..." Immediately, the memory of being tied to the mountain and almost becoming wolf fodder surged back.
Mu Anxiao calmly watched the second man in black's expression gradually freeze. "You truly are audacious," she said, then lowered her gaze to the dagger tucked into his waist, asking, "Whose is this?" She felt the dagger looked increasingly familiar.
The second man in black stared at Mu Anxiao's face for a few seconds, then quickly retreated. "You like it." He took out the dagger and voluntarily handed it to Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao looked down at the dagger and asked, "Did you capture any girls?" As she spoke, she reached out and took the dagger.
The second man in black then glanced at the first man in black behind him and smiled, "No."
"No..." Mu Anxiao sensed they were lying, so she narrowed her eyes and said, "This dagger, it's for a girl, isn't it?"
"..." The two of them remained intentionally silent.
Mu Anxiao frowned slightly. "With me, it's best to tell the truth, otherwise," her gaze turned cold, "I'll make you relive that nightmare. This time, I will absolutely not be soft-hearted and let you go."
"..." They were stunned.
"If you don't speak, you..."
Mu Anxiao's words were cut short as Feng Qishi arrived. "What are you doing?"
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao had to retract her threatening words and gaze towards the two of them and turned to face Feng Qishi, saying, "None of your business." As she spoke, she turned sideways and glared at the two of them. "..."
They dared not speak.
Immediately, Feng Qishi walked to the table, glanced at the two men in black, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao looked down at the dagger in her hand and said, "You two, go away." She then turned back to Feng Qishi, impatiently saying, "What business is it of yours?"
"You..." Feng Qishi uttered a single word, then looked at the two of them again.
"...." The two dared not speak in front of Mu Anxiao, so they gave Feng Qishi a silly smile and turned to leave.
Immediately after, Mu Anxiao sat down.
Feng Qishi didn't notice anything amiss with the two men in black. Instead, he looked at the cup in the little boy's hand and asked, "Did you give this to him?"
"I did, what of it?" Mu Anxiao said, deliberately avoiding looking at Feng Qishi's face.
