Inner Demons

So he suddenly turned to Wolf Daoist and said, "Then let's go see—it's the first time I've encountered such a rare thing."

As he spoke, he prepared to step toward them. To his surprise, Wolf Daoist actually grabbed his sleeve from behind: "Great King... you can't go!"

Li Yunxin turned sharply and stared at him sternly. The Wolf Demon then realized he had lost his composure in his urgency and hurriedly let go as if he had been electrocuted. But he still said: "Great King... you can't go!"

"Touch me again, and I'll refine your soul immediately." Li Yunxin stared at him for a long while until a layer of shiny sweat appeared on Wolf Daoist's nose. "Why can't I go?"

The Wolf Demon hesitated for another moment, then raised a hand to scratch his furry ear and sighed: "Sigh, Great King... Oh, how should I say this? Are you a Human Cultivator or a demon cultivator?"

Li Yunxin thought for a moment: "What do you think?"

"If the Great King is a demon cultivator, I'm really not sure if I should say this. If the Great King is a Human Cultivator... it might be fine to say." Wolf Daoist stared at Li Yunxin in the dark—his eyes reflecting the distant firelight with a faint green glow. Then he said, "But I think... the Great King is a Human Cultivator, right?"

"If you think so, then I am," Li Yunxin said casually. "Get to the point."

The Wolf Demon took it as Li Yunxin's admission. He suddenly puffed out his chest, no longer as timid as before, and showed a bit of the air of the Master of Banyan City: "Then the Great King should know one thing. In this Banyan City... I'm not entirely the one in charge right now."
