Yan Zhengya carried the little pig out of the town and released the Wolf Demon from the Qiankun Bag.
The Wolf Demon still looked half-dead.
"You can go now. Cultivate in the mountains from now on and don’t come out to harm people. I know you were deceived into doing wrong, but considering you did not harm any lives, I’ll let you go this time. Work hard in your cultivation, and strive to achieve the true path someday." Yan Zhengya patted the Wolf Demon’s shoulder and said earnestly.
The Wolf Demon finally came to his senses and looked up at Yan Zhengya.
"You’re not going to kill me?" the Wolf Demon asked sullenly.
"I said from the start I didn’t plan to kill you." Yan Zhengya sighed, "Don’t look so desperate. Isn’t it just a case of being deceived in love? In the future, don’t get involved with human emotions; stick to relationships with your fellow demons. Besides, Luo Fu is probably dead. She faced her own retribution, so don’t get stuck in the past."
"What? She’s dead?" The Wolf Demon widened his eyes in shock.
"Yeah, got stabbed in the heart by that maid, can’t survive that. Knowing she got what she deserved makes you feel better, right?" Yan Zhengya said.
The Wolf Demon fell silent but then shook his head, "I don’t feel better, just more stifled in my heart."
Yan Zhengya sighed, ah, this silly Wolf Demon, still kind-hearted deep down.
"Alright, off you go." Yan Zhengya instructed, "Remember, in cultivation don’t forget your original intentions. Do more good deeds."
"I have nowhere to go, nor do I want to go anywhere. Daoist, could you let me stay by your side? I can serve as a handyman." The Wolf Demon seemed to have made up his mind, looking up at Yan Zhengya with eyes full of pleading.
"What’s going on lately? Everyone’s clinging to me." Yan Zhengya muttered, "Fine, you can follow me, but don’t regret it."
"I won’t regret it." The Wolf Demon nodded, then knelt and performed a grand gesture to Yan Zhengya, "My name is Bai Huan, thank you for your great kindness, Daoist."
"Get up, get up. But let me tell you first, I also have a little rabbit demon at home, don’t bully him." Yan Zhengya said.
"Yes, I won’t." Bai Huan nodded.
Yan Zhengya was about to say something when he suddenly heard a childish voice in his ear.
"Daddy, it’s so cold, let’s go back and snuggle in bed to sleep."
Huh? What? Who’s speaking?
Yan Zhengya slowly lowered his head, looking at the little pig in his arms who was craning its neck back to look at him.
Was it the little pig who spoke just now?
"Daddy, I’m sleepy." The next moment, he saw the little pig open its mouth and say another sentence.
The little pig can talk?
"Little pig, you, you can talk now?" Yan Zhengya asked joyfully.
"Oh? Yes, Daddy, I can talk now!" The little pig joyfully waved its little piggy hooves.
The fact that the little pig could talk was unexpected for Yan Zhengya, yet somehow anticipated. The little pig was never an ordinary wild boar.
"Wait, what does Daddy mean?" Yan Zhengya wondered.
"Sister said, since you take care of me and love me and feed me, I should call you Daddy. Later I asked Sister what it meant, and she said it means the same as Father." The little pig said in a childish voice.
Oh, Father...
Yan Zhengya thought about it. Indeed, the way he raised this little pig was like raising a daughter.
"Alright, let’s go back to sleep." Yan Zhengya patted the little pig’s head and pointed to Bai Huan, "This one’s called Second Brother, the one at home is called First Brother."
Bai Huan blinked, feeling that something was off. It seemed like he suddenly gained a father? That’s one thing, but why should a rabbit spirit be ranked ahead of him?
