Uesugi Demon Lord didn't call anyone else, only Xie Shanzhi: "You'll go tonight."
Xie Shanzhi quickly raised his head: "Sir, aren't there other young masters?"
Xie Shanzhi was no longer as fearful as he had been the day before. He was straightforward and asked the questions that had been bothering him.
Uesugi Demon Lord happened to like straightforward people, so he said in a pleasant tone, "This was requested by the Demon Lord himself. I don't know anything about it. Don't worry, the Demon Lord is not as hateful as the rumors suggest."
Having gained some understanding of the Demon Lord after yesterday's encounter, Xie Shanzhi quickly replied, "Yes."
He was still curious as to why the Demon Lord kept calling him.
The other young masters were still waiting to be chosen tonight, but Uesugi Demon Lord had not appeared yet, and everyone looked somewhat anxious.
A young nobleman, with the mindset that it was better to die sooner rather than later, walked outside the main hall and asked the Demon General, "Demon General, may I ask when Lord Uesugi will arrive today?"
The Demon General said, "Lord Uesugi will not be coming today. You may all return."
The young master was filled with questions: "Demon General, could you please tell me why this is?"
The demon general remained calm and said indifferently, "Someone has already gone."
The young master brought back the good news with a beaming face: "Everyone can go back now. Lord Uesugi will not be selecting people today; some have already gone."
As the others gradually calmed down and left, Xiao Su, standing in the corner, had a somewhat gloomy expression. He subtly scanned everyone, as if searching for someone, his eyes filled with a deep look that didn't match his appearance.
Xie Shanzhi had just stepped into the bedroom when the door behind him slammed shut with a bang.
Mu Wenxi's voice came from inside: "You're here? Come in."
Xie Shanzhi slowly walked in: "Demon Lord."
Mu Wenxi disliked being called Demon Lord: "My name is Mu Wenxi, call me whatever you want, but it's best if you stop calling me Demon Lord."
Xie Shanzhi's hand, which was about to bow, paused: "This..."
Mu Wenxi: "Alright, come in quickly."
Xie Shanzhi quickly shut his mouth and went into the room. A curtain covered the bed, so he couldn't see the person on the bed. He glanced at it and then looked away, not daring to look again.
Mu Wenxi lifted the curtain and walked down barefoot.
Xie Shanzhi saw that the other party had bare feet and quickly squatted down to take out shoes to put on Mu Wenxi: "Demon Lord, please put on your shoes."
Mu Wenxi kicked her shoes and said, "I don't like wearing shoes."
He could only put the shoes aside. Mu Wenxi walked to the table, sat down, picked up the teapot, poured two cups of tea, took one cup and drank it all in one gulp, and pushed the other cup in front of Xie Shanzhi.
"Have some tea. Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask yesterday, what kind of beast are you?"
Xie Shanzhi thought that the Demon Lord had not told his secret to anyone, so he trusted him a little more. Just as he was about to speak, another voice came from outside the hall.
Demon General: "Demon Lord, a young master named Xiao Su wishes to see you, saying he has important business to discuss."
Mu Wenxi was interrupted, and her temper was a little bad, her tone cold: "I don't know her, I won't see her."
The demon general walked up to Xiao Su, who was waiting outside the main hall, and said, "Young master, please go back. The demon lord has important matters to attend to and is unable to receive guests."
Xiao Su nodded and left. Important matter? But it's clearly nighttime, how could there be anything important? Could it be that their sweet talk is the important matter?
Mu Wenxi noticed that the demon general had gone far away, so she waved her hand and set up a barrier around the hall.
"Speak, I have set up a barrier, no one will hear you."
Xie Shanzhi was not on guard against the Demon Lord, so he relaxed and said, "I am a wolf."
After he finished speaking, his eyes gradually dimmed. He thought to himself, "No one would like magical beasts. The Demon Lord should let him leave, right?"
Unexpectedly, Mu Wenxi came over and helped him up, looking at him with bright eyes: "Are you a wolf? The kind that's all furry?"
Xie Shanzhi thought for a moment and realized they had a lot of hair, so he nodded.
Mu Wenxi: "Then show me how to do it."
Xie Shanzhi hesitated, saying, "It will be dangerous."
Their monsters have always been used to charge into battle, and most of them are fraught with danger.
Mu Wenxi assured him with great interest, "It's okay, I'm not afraid, and you don't need to worry either. There's no one else here, they won't find you."
Xie Shanzhi seemed somewhat troubled: "Demon Lord—".
Mu Wenxi commanded, "Just call me Wenxi. Stop being so obsequious. You can address me directly."
Xie Shanzhi: "If I do anything unusual, you must stop me."
After saying that, he gritted his teeth and transformed into an enormous wolf right before Mu Wenxi's eyes.
The wolf was entirely silver-white, with a fierce look on its face and teeth so sharp they could cut through iron like mud. Its body took up most of the bedroom, and Mu Wenxi standing next to it only reached its calves.
In the blink of an eye, the wolf shrank considerably, its imposing presence diminished by half. It lowered its head and looked at Wen Xi, speaking in human language: "I didn't control myself well just now."
Wen Xi noticed that his eyes were a clear blue like the sea, his teeth were as white as snow, and he was the same height as Wen Xi.
Mu Wenxi's eyes lit up: "Oh my god, you're so handsome."
The wolf tilted its head and asked in a questioning tone, "Handsome?"
Mu Wenxi stroked the wolf's head, the fluffy feel making her squint her eyes in comfort.
Xie Shanzhi felt the other person's touch and his whole body stiffened, his hair standing on end.
Mu Wenxi walked to the bedside, lay down on the bed, leaving a large space, patted the giant wolf and looked at it: "Come here, lie down and sleep with me."
Xie Shanzhi, who had transformed into a giant wolf, instantly shrunk to a suitable size and walked to the bedside, raising his leg but then putting it down again.
Mu Wenxi: "It's okay, come on up."
The giant wolf leaped onto the bed and lay down. The next second, a pair of delicate and soft hands covered his head and stroked it.
If Xie Shanzhi were in human form, he would probably be too ashamed to show his face, but at this moment he is a wolf, his ears drooping and his tail wagging back and forth.
Mu Wenxi's actions weren't enough; he even buried his head in the giant wolf's belly, causing Xie Shanzhi to freeze in place, his two paws stiffly resting on the bed.
"It feels so comfortable and soft."
The giant wolf stared blankly at the canopy above, wondering if the person buried in its belly was really the legendary Demon Lord. Soon, it felt the Demon Lord on its body fall into a deep sleep, but Xie Shanzhi in wolf form was wide awake.
He dared not move for fear of waking Mu Wenxi beside him, and also for fear of hurting the other with his sharp claws. Even when he was sleepy in the middle of the night, he forced his eyes open, but in the end he could not resist his physiological reaction.
When Mu Wenxi woke up in the morning, she felt herself in a furry embrace: "You haven't left?"
She patted the other person on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work, now turn back into human form."
Xie Shanzhi slept on and off all night, afraid of making the Demon Lord uncomfortable. But the Demon Lord slept soundly, and as soon as he heard that he could turn back into human form, he immediately transformed back into human form.
Xie Shanzhi was slightly embarrassed and didn't dare to look at Mu Wenxi as he hurriedly ran out of the hall, as if he had been bullied.
