Chapter 878: Demon Lair

"Is he here?" The wolf-eyed man asked in panic, his eyes wide with fear.

"Yes, sir!" One of his subordinates replied.

"And you didn't say anything sooner?" The wolf-eyed man roared.

The subordinate felt bitter, thinking to himself: *You were the one who told me not to say anything.* But he dared not speak it aloud.

"The demon has come."

"Why would that demon come here?"

The wolf-eyed man was like an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth, and everyone’s eyes followed his movements.

"Why are you all staring at me? Think of something, quick!" The wolf-eyed man shouted anxiously.

"Sir, you are the lord of this city," one of them couldn’t help but remind him, though it was unclear whether it was a reminder or a jab.

"Useless fools," the wolf-eyed man scolded before pacing again, wondering what the demon could possibly want.

*Has he noticed something and come to cause trouble? Should I just run away now?*

"Is anyone there?" Just as the wolf-eyed man was at a loss, Yi Feng’s voice came from outside.

The wolf-faced man clenched his scalp, knowing there was no way to avoid this. He decided to face it head-on. He straightened his body, adjusted his clothes, and tried to appear composed yet unyielding.

"Ah, I’m here," the wolf-faced man forced a smile while signaling to his subordinate with his eyes.

The subordinate quickly opened the door.

Outside stood a young man in a white robe, looking gentle and refined.

"Ahem, esteemed guest, what brings you here?" the wolf-faced man asked with a bow.

"It’s a bit complicated to explain. May I come in and sit down?" Yi Feng asked.

"Of course," the wolf-faced man hurriedly invited Yi Feng inside and they sat down in the hall.

As soon as they sat, Yi Feng’s eyes lit up.

"Oh, it’s you two," Yi Feng clearly recognized Gou Da and Gou Er.

Upon hearing this, Gou Da and Gou Er’s legs went weak, almost as if they were about to kneel on the spot.

Seeing them cower, Yi Feng couldn’t help but smirk. *They’re probably terrified because they’ve seen my power in slaying demons with my bare hands. Is this the intimidation of a true master?*

Yi Feng didn’t bother engaging with them further. Instead, he turned to the wolf-faced man.

"My name is Yi Feng. May I ask how you should be addressed?"

"Ah, I…" The wolf-faced man’s heart leapt into his throat. If he revealed his name, would this man catch on to something?

Thinking quickly, he smiled and said, "Just call me Little Wolf, Mr. Yi."

A simple name, but it subtly revealed his subservience in the presence of Yi Feng.

"Little Wolf?" Yi Feng raised an eyebrow, glancing at him.

"Aren’t you the city lord? Why that name?"

"I, uh…" The wolf-faced man broke into a cold sweat, stammering, "People call me that because I’m close to the citizens, loved by them. They affectionately call me Little Wolf."

"You can ask them," the wolf-faced man quickly turned to his subordinates, making frantic eye signals.

"Yes, yes, yes."

"The city lord is right, everyone calls him Little Wolf."

The subordinates nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

Yi Feng’s expression darkened slightly, but he shrugged it off. It was just a name, after all.

However, at that moment, two more people walked in.

They were high-ranking officials from the demon city, part of the group that had been sent out earlier. Following the wolf-faced man’s orders, they had gathered here today for a meeting.

As the two entered, everyone’s gaze turned to them.

Especially the wolf-faced man, whose expression was as dark as storm clouds. He looked like he wanted to chop these two into pieces, cursing himself for having such idiotic subordinates.

He silently prayed that Yi Feng wouldn’t notice anything amiss.

But Yi Feng spoke up.

Pointing at the two newcomers and then at the wolf-faced man, Yi Feng said in surprise, "What’s going on? Why do all three of you look exactly the same?"

The wolf-faced man’s heart skipped a beat, but he quickly forced a smile and said, "Ah, Mr. Yi, these two are my twin brothers. That’s why we look alike."

"Oh, so you’re triplets!" Yi Feng finally understood and didn’t press further.

Seeing this, the wolf-faced man let out a sigh of relief, patting his chest and thinking, *Thank goodness for my quick wit.*

But before he could relax completely, over thirty more people entered the hall.

The sight of them made the wolf-faced man’s eyes nearly pop out of his head.

Every single one of them looked exactly like him, down to the last hair.

He was on the verge of losing it.

*What kind of idiots are these subordinates of mine?!*

Beside him, Yi Feng also gulped, utterly dumbfounded.

He gave the wolf-faced man a questioning look and asked, "Are these… also your twin brothers?"

"Uh…" The wolf-faced man wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied weakly, "Yes."

"Uh…" Yi Feng was also sweating, thinking, *How the hell were they even born? Even a litter of ten piglets is rare, but thirty-plus identical siblings…*

He had no words to describe it.

Unable to help himself, he gave the wolf-faced man a thumbs-up and said sincerely, "Your mother is amazing!"

"Thank you for the compliment," the wolf-faced man replied, lowering his head in embarrassment.

Fortunately, Yi Feng didn’t dwell on the matter. His mind was still fixated on his quest for death.

"City Lord Wolf, it seems you’ve gathered so many people for a meeting. I won’t disturb you further, but before I leave, I’d like to ask you a question," Yi Feng said.

Hearing that Yi Feng was about to leave, the wolf-faced man nearly burst into tears of joy.

He slapped his chest and said magnanimously, "Mr. Yi, feel free to ask. There’s nothing in this city that I don’t know about."

The wolf-faced man’s voice carried a hint of urgency.

*If it’s just a question, as long as this demon leaves, it’s no big deal!*

Seeing the wolf-faced man’s eagerness, Yi Feng was also quite pleased.

*Looks like this trip to the lord’s mansion wasn’t a waste,* he thought.

So he got straight to the point: "Then, may I ask, City Lord Wolf, where is the nearest demon lair around here?"

"Mhm, mhm," the wolf-faced man nodded seriously, just about to answer—then suddenly froze.

"Huh?"

"Demon lair?"
