Chapter 924: Self-Aware and Humble
His wife was severely ill in bed at home, so at the time, he only took a quick look around and planned to leave immediately. He couldn't afford to be late, or she would grow anxious waiting.
But halfway back, he spotted a small stall selling medicinal herbs.
It had the exact herbs he so desperately needed.
Unexpectedly, before he could even ask the price, the stall owner recognized at a glance that he was a human, not a demon.
The stall owner didn't make things difficult for him; he merely asked how he had managed to get inside.
"I had merely wandered in by mistake," Master Wei said. "Once the stall owner understood, he didn't give me any trouble. He even gave me the herbs for free and took me to the Demon Bureau. According to him, the mist was highly unusual. It was very difficult for ordinary humans to enter or leave, so the only option was to seek out the Demon Bureau. Thus, I went with him."
"But once we arrived at the Demon Bureau, I was given a terrible fright."
"Most of the demon bailiffs there were fierce beasts that had gained sentience. They had vicious, terrifying appearances with bloody maws and bared fangs. I was scared out of my wits."
"I was interrogated like a criminal. My surname, my given name, where I lived, what I did for a living, and so on—I confessed to all of it."
