Chapter 883: The Terrifying Demon Wolf

???

Upon hearing this, the woman was filled with confusion.

She stood frozen in place, as if turned into an ice sculpture.

"Two whole days?" she asked, her red lips parting in disbelief.

"Yes!" Yi Feng sighed. "To be precise, it took two days and one hour. I didn’t stop at all during that time. It was exhausting."

The woman’s lips twitched.

She was speechless for a long while.

However, she was also extremely curious about who this person was. Someone like him shouldn’t be unknown in the Heavenly Domain, yet she had never heard of him before.

She followed Yi Feng onto Manman’s back as they headed toward the Demon City.

During their conversation on the road, Yi Feng learned that the woman’s name was Ning Qing.

Ning Qing had been injured by a demonic creature earlier and hadn’t treated the wound. Combined with Manman’s speed, which was too much for her to handle, she eventually passed out.

When Ning Qing woke up, she found herself lying in a small pavilion.

Downstairs, several shadowy figures were sneaking around.

"What should we do, Boss?" Gou Da asked nervously. "That terrifying demon left, but he left a woman here. What does that mean?"

"Should we just... you know, get rid of her?"

*Slap!*

The demon wolf smacked him across the face.

"Idiot!"

"This woman is clearly connected to that demon. If something happens to her, do you think the demon won’t come after us?" the demon wolf said. "So not only can we not harm her, we have to treat her well, take care of her, and show her kindness. That way, the demon won’t come looking for trouble."

"But if that’s the case, won’t our city-wide skin-changing plan have to continue indefinitely?" Gou Da said reluctantly. "If this woman stays for a year, we’ll have to keep up the act for a year. If she stays for ten years, we’ll have to keep it up for ten years!"

"Calm down!"

The demon wolf raised a finger, speaking with a serious tone. "Actually, I’ve been thinking. Pretending to be human isn’t so bad. We can cook, brew wine, and do all sorts of things."

"Besides, for a demon, having the skill to disguise as a human is incredibly useful."

"In the future, there will inevitably be a war between humans and demons. If the demons are ever at a disadvantage, we can infiltrate human society and destroy them from within..."

Hearing this, Gou Da and Gou Er nodded in agreement.

"Boss, you’re truly far-sighted, dedicating yourself to the demon race."

"Not at all," the demon wolf said, putting his hands behind his back and puffing out his chest. "But honestly, your vision and perspective are still too narrow."

As they spoke, the group transformed from their demon forms into humans and began walking upstairs.

Unbeknownst to them, Ning Qing, who had just woken up, saw everything.

Although she didn’t hear what they were saying, she clearly witnessed the moment they transformed.

She held her breath, suppressing her aura, and pressed herself against the wall, afraid the demonic creatures would notice her.

Even so, cold sweat dripped down her forehead, and her chest heaved rapidly.

Wolf demons.

With horns on their heads.

Human explorers who ventured into the terrifying Level 6 Restricted Zone had lost countless experts. The only information they managed to bring back was this: among demonic creatures, wolf demons of a certain strength level would grow horns on their heads. If you encountered a horned wolf demon, you should avoid it at all costs.

Perhaps the rumors were exaggerated, but they certainly weren’t baseless.

At least for Ning Qing, encountering a wolf demon with such a symbol meant its strength was beyond her imagination.

If measured by human cultivation levels, it would be at least at the Harmony Dao Realm, or even the Proof Dao Realm.

She never expected that, upon waking up from her unconscious state, she would encounter such a legendary demonic creature—and at such close proximity.

*Knock knock!*

The sound of knocking on the door sent shivers down Ning Qing’s spine, causing her delicate body to tremble.

*Knock knock knock.*

The knocking came again.

Ning Qing’s nerves tightened even further. She suppressed her aura to the extreme, not letting a single trace of it leak out.

However, to her surprise, the door was pushed open.

She saw the terrifying demon wolf and the other demonic creatures, now in human form, enter the room.

Their eyes met.

It’s over...

Ning Qing’s heart sank.

Her face turned ashen, and her eyes filled with despair.

She had been discovered after all.

She closed her eyes, waiting for death.

She didn’t believe she could escape unscathed after encountering such a high-level demonic creature.

But to her astonishment, the terrifying wolf demon stepped forward and gently took her hands.

With a warm and affectionate expression, it spoke in a gentle voice.

"Ah, Miss Ning Qing, you’re awake?"

"Oh, heavens, that’s wonderful!"

"Why aren’t you resting in bed? You’re standing here instead."

"And your face looks so pale. You must be starving."

"How careless of me! I didn’t prepare any delicious food for the beautiful Miss Ning Qing. This is terrible."

"Ah, Miss Ning Qing, please let me help you back to bed."

"And you two, go prepare some food for Miss Ning Qing right away..."
