The timing was perfect. When Yan Zhengya arrived, Wang Congshan’s carriage also reached the front of the courtyard.
When Luo Fu and Wang Congshan entered the room, deeply in love, the White Wolf remained motionless, even holding its breath. It stared blankly through that small round hole into the room.
Yan Zhengya merely stood in the back without speaking, but he seemed to hear the sound of water dripping onto the ground.
It was the sound of the Wolf Demon’s tears hitting the ground.
He suddenly remembered something his master had once said: Sometimes, demons have more emotions than humans, demons have more heart than humans.
Inside the room, Wang Congshan and Luo Fu were still lost in their affectionate moment.
"Second Master, do you think once that Daoist captures the demon tonight, we can be together forever?" Luo Fu was acting coquettishly in Wang Congshan’s embrace.
"Of course, next month, I’ll tell my father to marry you into the family!" Wang Congshan said, then happily kissed Luo Fu on the cheek, adding, "That demon really is like a toad wanting to eat swan meat. Fu’er, with me to protect you, to take care of you, I’ll make you happy for a lifetime! No more demons will bother you again."
Luo Fu blushed, held Wang Congshan tighter, and said, "I knew it, Second Master, you treat me the best in the world."
Yan Zhengya couldn’t bear to watch any longer. He opened the Qiankun Bag again to trap the unresponsive White Wolf inside, carried it on his back, circled around, and knocked on the door of Luo Fu’s courtyard.
Little Hong still opened the door with a wooden expression. Yan Zhengya walked to the front of the room, coughed twice, and said, "Gentlemen, the Wolf Demon has already been subdued by me."
Sure enough, Wang Congshan came out overjoyed. Seeing the large bag on Yan Zhengya’s back, he quickly said, "Oh my, Daoist, did you capture that demon alive? Such skill! I thought there would be a fierce battle, where you would have to kill it with great difficulty. Can you let it out for us to see? I’ve never seen a demon before!"
Yan Zhengya said, "I can, I can, the demon has been captured, this, this..." He rubbed his index finger and thumb together, giving Wang Congshan a meaningful glance.
Wang Congshan immediately understood, pulled a stack of silver notes from his sleeve, and said, "Consider it a reward, I’m happy today! Daoist, your powers are extraordinary, take it all! Hahaha!"
Yan Zhengya accepted the silver notes, put them in his pocket, and then set down the Demon Suppressing Qiankun Bag containing the Wolf Demon. As soon as the magic was lifted, the Wolf Demon stood before Wang Congshan.
"Wow! So, this is the Wolf Demon? Tsk tsk, you can’t tell, he’s quite the handsome one, but why is he so stubborn to insist on bothering Fu’er?" Wang Congshan foolishly circled around the White Wolf, then suddenly remembered something, turning quickly, "Hey, Fu’er, Fu’er why aren’t you coming out? Come quickly, this is the Wolf Demon, the Daoist subdued him, come and see for yourself! It’s so satisfying!"
Yan Zhengya, with a look of watching a show, chimed in, "Yeah, Miss Luo Fu, aren’t you coming out to take a look?"
Seeing no response from inside, Wang Congshan directly turned and entered the room, forcibly pulling Luo Fu out. He thought Luo Fu was still afraid and didn’t dare to come out, so he wrapped his arms around her to comfort her, saying, "Don’t be afraid, I’m here, the Daoist is here too, what are you afraid of? Come have a look, now you won’t have to worry about the Wolf Demon bothering you anymore. Now we can finally get married peacefully."
Luo Fu’s face turned pale as soon as she saw the Wolf Demon was not dead, and she hardly dared to look up at the Wolf Demon again.
After a while, the Wolf Demon spoke slowly, heavily, "Why?"
