Hei Feng thought for a moment, "No matter what, she promised me that as long as I persuaded you, and you went to find her, she would agree to stop."
"But, I don't think... you have persuaded me," the wolf demon finished, smiling at Hei Feng.
The instant the wolf demon said this nonchalantly, Hei Feng's face turned cold, "Fine, then tell me, how do I need to persuade you to consider yourself persuaded?"
"Think about it," the wolf demon said, turning his back.
Hei Feng looked at the wolf demon's retreating back and narrowed his eyes, "Wolf demon, this is probably not interesting anymore."
"I find it interesting," the wolf demon said, tilting his head slightly.
Hei Feng sighed helplessly, glancing left and right, "Consider it a plea from me, just go tell Mu An Xiao to stop."
"Consider?" the wolf demon repeated deliberately, turning to face Hei Feng, "What does 'consider' mean? You should sincerely beg me too. Adding 'consider' makes it sound awkward to my ears."
"I beg you," Hei Feng said.
The wolf demon narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Alright, alright, I'll consider you've persuaded me. Come with me."
"You..."
As Hei Feng uttered the first syllable, the wolf demon inadvertently saw the mist rising behind him and quickly shouted, "Move aside."
Hei Feng dodged immediately upon hearing this.
Following that, the wolf demon swiftly extended his palm and pressed it firmly against a woman's black claws. The woman glared at the wolf demon with defiance, "You are truly meddling."
"You dare to kill a soul spirit, you must not want to live," the wolf demon said, abruptly withdrawing his hand. Just as he sidestepped, the woman flew past him, and he gave chase.
The woman squinted. As the wolf demon closed in, she suddenly turned and struck him across the face. The wolf demon staggered backward.
Seeing this, Hei Feng quickly rushed forward, his hand opening to reveal a silver rope. "You're asking for death." As he spoke, he was about to cast the rope when the woman vanished.
Then, the surrounding mist dispersed instantly.
Hei Feng stopped in his tracks, looking tensely to both sides, "It seems we've fallen into a trap." As he spoke, he hurried to the wolf demon's side.
The wolf demon lay on the ground, clutching his face, "You have to take responsibility for me, my face must be ruined."
"Are you alright?" Hei Feng asked, looking down at the wolf demon.
The wolf demon kept his head down, "I'm fine, it's just that my face hurts. It's over, I'm disfigured."
Seeing the wolf demon like this, Hei Feng sighed, "Can you still go find Mu An Xiao looking like this?"
"No," the wolf demon replied instantly.
"Then you..."
"My face," the wolf demon raised his head, "is ruined. If I don't get treatment now, I'll die."
Hei Feng had thought the wolf demon was joking, but the moment he saw the blood on the wolf demon's face, his expression froze, "It is quite serious."
"It's poisoned," the wolf demon said, keeping one eye open.
"I don't know any doctors?" Hei Feng asked.
"No, I can't," the wolf demon groaned, falling back to the ground.
Hei Feng crouched down and supported the wolf demon's shoulders, "You were a powerful demon in the past, and now you've been beaten like this by a female demon soul. It's truly embarrassing."
"Do you know how to comfort a demon? I was just trying to save you," the wolf demon said.
"Thank you," Hei Feng said helplessly.
"You're welcome," the wolf demon replied, tilting his head up and asking, "Didn't you sense her just now?"
"No," Hei Feng shook his head.
"No, it's not that," the wolf demon continued to look at Hei Feng with one eye open, "You're really something. You said earlier she was nearby, and then close. At a crucial moment like this, couldn't you sense her?"
"Your wolf fur smell is too strong, it masked her demonic aura," Hei Feng said.
"You're blaming me now," the wolf demon complained.
"No, no, no, so what now..."
"My face is ruined, I can't go back to see Mu An Xiao now," the wolf demon interrupted.
"I..." Hei Feng uttered a word, hesitating, "I'll go find Mu An Xiao and stop her, but she won't listen to me either."
"Then find me a doctor," the wolf demon made his demand, "As long as the decay on my face stops within three days, I'll go."
"Where am I supposed to find one?" Hei Feng looked troubled.
"I don't know, just settle me down first," the wolf demon extended his hand.
Hei Feng frowned, bent down, and took the wolf demon's hand, "I'll take you to an inn, you wait for me there."
"Okay," the wolf demon nodded.
Hei Feng exerted force to pull the wolf demon up. The second the wolf demon steadied himself, he said, "My legs can't walk anymore."
"Then what do you want?"
"Cover my face and then carry me," the wolf demon suggested.
Hei Feng stared at the wolf demon's injured face for a few seconds, "Stand still."
"Okay," the wolf demon nodded and stood his ground.
Following the arrangement, Hei Feng opened his hand to reveal a bamboo hat, placed it on the wolf demon's head, then took a black cloth from his sleeve to cover the wolf demon's face, "Is that better now?"
"Legs," the wolf demon uttered a single word.
Hei Feng gave a bitter smile, turned around, "Shift your feet and climb on." As he spoke, he bent down.
"Alright!" the wolf demon agreed and immediately jumped onto Hei Feng's back.
Immediately, Hei Feng leaned forward sharply, "I told you to climb on, why did you jump?" As he finished speaking, he supported himself with one hand on the ground and slowly stood up.
The wolf demon, perched on Hei Feng's back, said, "If I had known you would be so obedient, I wouldn't have mentioned you were a soul spirit to that demon soul just now."
"Stop your nonsense," Hei Feng said, and began to walk forward.
The wolf demon smiled faintly, glancing upwards, "The sky doesn't look quite right."
Hei Feng stopped walking upon hearing this and looked up, "Such a strong immortal energy."
"Immortal energy?" the wolf demon said, sniffing the air, "This immortal energy smells so familiar."
"You can even smell that?" Hei Feng tilted his head.
"Mhm, familiar, a familiar scent," the wolf demon said.
Hei Feng, "Perhaps some immortal has descended to the mortal realm. Who knows." As he spoke, he continued walking forward.
The wolf demon stared at the sky and then saw a vortex appear in the air, muttering, "No, he... he wouldn't be back, would he?"
Hei Feng paid no mind to the wolf demon's words and continued walking.
The wolf demon swallowed with a dry throat, looking down, "It makes no sense. His life over there was so peaceful, why would he come here? No, wait," he said, looking up again, the vortex was gone, so he breathed a sigh of relief, "Alright, I must have seen wrong."
Hei Feng said as he walked, "On my back, can you talk less nonsense?"
"Yes," the wolf demon agreed, pursing his lips tightly.
Hei Feng let out a breath.
