"No, I didn't misunderstand. You were able to save me from that demon just now, which proves you are a true cultivator. Although," the narcissistic girl hesitated, forcing a smile, "you're a bit short, I can tolerate your height."
"The one who brought you back just now was a girl, and the one who protected you was also a girl. It has nothing to do with me. Can you stop talking nonsense?" Mu Anxiao said helplessly.
"That girl just now was a demon. The one who sent me back in the end was clearly you," the narcissistic girl insisted.
"I did not," Mu Anxiao stated firmly.
The male house servant glanced at the anxious and agitated narcissistic girl and said, "It was clearly you just now. You said you would come back, and then you came back. Now you're saying this," he eyed the narcissistic girl, "do you look down on our young lady?"
"I look down on you?" Mu Anxiao pointed to herself and stood up, saying, "Are you kidding me? It's your young lady who has always looked down on my height, and the one who brought her back..."
"It was you."
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao's eyes widened, and she looked towards Shen Yan, who had suddenly appeared behind the narcissistic girl. Her mouth twitched, "Why are you here?"
Upon hearing Shen Yan's voice, the narcissistic girl's eyes widened, and she quickly stepped behind Mu Anxiao, saying, "Your junior brother has connections with demons. I'm scared."
Mu Anxiao glanced sideways at the narcissistic girl and said, "You're scared, what does that have to do with me?" As she spoke, she pushed away the hand the narcissistic girl had on her arm.
Shen Yan didn't pay attention to the narcissistic girl's words. Instead, she stared at Mu Anxiao's face and asked, "Are you full?"
"Not yet," Mu Anxiao glanced at the meal on the table.
"Get some flatbreads," Shen Yan said coldly.
"I..."
"Less nonsense, hurry up," Shen Yan said sternly.
Mu Anxiao pouted, picked up the flatbreads from the plate, and tucked them into her embrace. She then looked at the narcissistic girl behind her and said, "Thank you for your warm hospitality." With that, she walked to Shen Yan's side.
Then, Shen Yan glanced at the stunned crowd, snapped her fingers, and grabbed Mu Anxiao's arm. Mu Anxiao froze for a moment and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Memory retrieval," Shen Yan casually uttered three words, and a faint blue light enveloped both Mu Anxiao and herself. Those present simultaneously closed their eyes.
Mu Anxiao's eyes widened, and before she could react, she found herself standing at the door of the narcissistic girl's house.
Inside, the narcissistic girl and the others opened their eyes and looked at each other. The narcissistic girl asked, "The meal is ready so quickly?"
"Yes," the male house servant nodded.
Outside the main gate, Mu Anxiao gestured to the wooden door and asked, "What did you do?"
"Mortals cannot see demons in the first place," Shen Yan said, raising her finger and shooting a faint blue beam towards the sky.
Mu Anxiao looked up at the beam that shot into the sky and then instantly spread out to the sides, saying, "So, does that mean I won't have to see demons and ghosts from now on?"
"You are different," Shen Yan said, lowering her hand.
"I'm a mortal," Mu Anxiao frowned.
"You are a human who ate my things. These people here were only subjected to Lu Yan's curse," Shen Yan said, patting Mu Anxiao's shoulder forcefully. "You are different."
"Ah?" Mu Anxiao despaired, looking left and right in a daze. "So, in that case, the families of those old ladies with immortal destiny will still think their wives were short-lived. As for this narcissistic family and everyone else, they will also forget that we were here, right?"
