"Next, it will be your death day," the fake Lin Yan declared menacingly, turning his gaze to Mu Long, who was sobbing and begging for mercy. "The more I look at this body, the more pleased I am with it."
The wolf demon followed the fake Lin Yan's gaze to Mu Long, then back to the fake Lin Yan's head. "You've already taken over this boy's body. Do you intend to take his again? Isn't that too greedy?"
He didn't know the reason behind it, so he decided to try and extract the information he wanted from the fake Lin Yan this way. Even if he wasn't sure what exactly he wanted to know, he figured he'd take it one step at a time.
"..." The fake Lin Yan paused, then turned back to the wolf demon. "You really talk a lot."
The wolf demon pouted. "I think I talk a lot too, but I can't help it."
"Be careful, I'll cut out your tongue," the fake Lin Yan threatened, pointing at the wolf demon.
Hearing this, the wolf demon stuck out his tongue with a smile.
"You're not afraid of me?"
"I am, but as a demon, to be afraid of a mere wandering soul like you," the wolf demon clicked his tongue. "Seems a bit disgraceful."
"I am a demon."
"You don't seem like a demon, much less a demon soul. You," the wolf demon deliberately provoked the fake Lin Yan, "are just a wandering soul, a ghost who learned some crooked demonic arts from who knows whom."
"Shut your mouth!" The fake Lin Yan was instantly enraged. He stepped forward, reaching out and gripping the wolf demon's neck.
The wolf demon remained unfazed. "I won't shut up. What do you think you can do to me?" he met the fake Lin Yan's eyes.
The fake Lin Yan's eyes turned red with anger. "I'll kill you," he tightened his grip on the wolf demon's neck.
But the wolf demon showed no reaction. "Mu Xiaoxiao and the others couldn't kill me, and you," he narrowed his eyes, slowly pulling away from the wall, and grabbed the fake Lin Yan's wrist. "Still want to kill me? Go back to dreaming." With that, he pulled the fake Lin Yan's hand away from his neck.
"How can this be?" The fake Lin Yan stared at his wrist, tightly gripped by the wolf demon, in utter disbelief.
Immediately, the wolf demon flung the fake Lin Yan's hand away. "Know a little demonic art and you think you know who you are," he said. He raised a finger and drew a line towards Lin Yan, and Lin Yan's body regained its mobility.
Seeing this, the fake Lin Yan took half a step back, looking dejected. "Take him and leave. Don't bother with the rest."
The wolf demon: "Are you trying to bargain with me?"
"Yes. I'll give you whatever you want, but you cannot save these people."
"You mean, I can only save him," the wolf demon pointed at Lin Yan.
The fake Lin Yan: "Yes. I have use for the others."
Mu Long and the male ghost with the surname Mu were the fake Lin Yan's last chance. He didn't want to lose this opportunity, even if it meant being exposed or beaten by the wolf demon. As long as he could extend his life, it was enough!
The wolf demon mulled over the fake Lin Yan's words. "You said, whatever I want, you'll give me?" he asked, not forgetting to glance at Lin Yan.
"Yes, that's what I said."
"Very good." The wolf demon curved his lips and pointed at the fake Lin Yan's body. "Return the body to him, and we'll leave."
"Huh?" The fake Lin Yan had already poured all his demonic arts into this body. Once he left it, the body would become worthless in the eyes of the Yin messengers! As for Lin Yan, he would also lose all connection to this body. And this was something only he knew. In other words, this body was still useful to him, and he didn't want to compromise.
"Besides this, I can agree to anything else," he said.
"Besides this, I have nothing else to say to you," the wolf demon insisted.
Lin Yan watched the wolf demon trying to help him and thought about the lives of those people who were about to end. His heart sank. "Please save them," he stepped forward.
The wolf demon was taken aback. He turned to look at Lin Yan, who wanted to save these people, and frowned. "He said to take you with me. He doesn't intend to let the others go."
Just as the wolf demon uttered these words, one by one, the ghosts stepped forward to block the doorway.
Seeing this, the wolf demon was stunned. "What does this mean?" he looked at the ghosts.
"No one is leaving," the female ghost in black said, stepping behind the fake Lin Yan. "Don't be soft-hearted with someone who makes such unreasonable demands."
The fake Lin Yan understood the wolf demon's abilities, especially after his recent setback. He realized he was no match for the wolf demon. Hearing the black-clad female ghost's arrogant words, he coldly said, "You dare to order me? You're courting death." He cast a glare at the black-clad female ghost.
The black-clad female ghost's body stiffened. "I'm helping you."
"Miss, have some sense," the wolf demon said, clenching his right fist slightly. "I'm not to be trifled with. Your soul looks quite… appetizing."
"You..."
"Wolf Demon, ever heard of me?" the wolf demon retorted.
The wolf demon's past deeds were indeed spread far and wide, especially among ghosts, demon souls, and demons. In recent years, rumors of his soul-eating habit had begun to circulate. The wolf demon had only recently heard these rumors and decided to use them to his advantage to frighten them. He wanted to see how these ghosts would react.
The fake Lin Yan was unaware of this, but hearing the wolf demon's words and seeing his capabilities, he began to feel uneasy.
Meanwhile.
Just as the wolf demon had anticipated, a few individual ghosts showed signs of fear.
Ghost Number One asked, "You are the Wolf Demon?"
The wolf demon: "You know me." He pushed the fake Lin Yan aside and turned to Ghost Number One.
Ghost Number One: "I know you." His voice began to tremble.
"Are you afraid of me?"
"You really..." Ghost Number One thought of the terrifying rumors and swallowed. "Do you really eat souls?"
"..." The wolf demon dared not comment on the taste of souls, but hearing Ghost Number One's words and seeing his expression, the wolf demon thought that denying it would only disappoint him and make the other ghosts look down on him.
Thus, the wolf demon smacked his lips as if savoring a memory. "The taste is not bad. I never expected you all to have such flesh. Roasting them would be even better, especially with demonic fire, but eating them raw is also fine."
Upon hearing the wolf demon's words, Ghost Number One turned around without another word, passed through the wooden door, and fled.
The old man who had been apprehended by Ghost Number One breathed a sigh of relief.
The fake Lin Yan frowned.
Lin Yan also took the wolf demon's words seriously and took a step back.
Mu Long began to cry.
Outside.
Ghost Number One, dressed in black, brushed past Mu Xiaoxiao, who had stopped, and ran away. Mu Xiaoxiao blinked in surprise, looking at the departing ghost. "That was a ghost, wasn't it?"
"Yes," Feng Qi Shi nodded.
