Demon King's Repayment - chapter 22
In fact, Yuan Xiang had been expecting to have an apostle who was as close to a human as Shi Shiran, just like Shifu had.
With him being beautiful and powerful, she could also get along and chat with him like friends.
The little wolf in front of her was obviously the ideal shape that best meets her requirements. It had an attacking ability and was cute and furry. Although she hadn’t seen his face yet, the short-lived appearance poked Yuan Xiang’s heart.
It was a pity that he was reluctant. If it really didn’t work, next time she would take carrots to Celestial Wolf mountain to find the rabbit sprite, which was very cute too.
Nan He tensed, watching Yuan Xiang’s every move warily. That person didn’t stay in the house anymore, but read her book outside the house, no longer paying attention to him. The distance made him finally feel a little relieved. Once it loosened, the scent of the milk in the bowl began to penetrate through his nostrils.
He had gone through arduous battles and escapes, lost too much blood and had never replenished nutrients. It was the time when he was so hungry and thirsty that he was uncomfortable. Sirius’s sense of smell was extremely keen and the warm milk exuded a fragrant taste, invading his hungry body all the way, making him almost unable to restrain himself from wanting to taste the sweet liquid.
Just take a sip.
He peeped at Yuan Xiang repeatedly to make sure that she didn’t notice him at all. Finally, he couldn’t help sticking out his tongue and licking the white milk in the bowl. The hot milk rolled all the way through his esophagus and fell into the empty stomach, allowing the pores of his body to open comfortably. Sirius finally buried his head in the basin and gulped.
Yuan Xiang quietly looked inside the house at the awkward little wolf who finally buried his head in the basin. His little pink tongue rolled up and down, dipping it with the milk.
Although it was a wolf, it was similar to a dog.
Yuan Xiang was very experienced in dealing with this kind of arrogant and fearful dog. She knew well that at first she couldn’t let the dog think that she was over-focusing on him. She must leave him a safe space, but must stay within his line of sight, wait for him to become familiar with her and get used to her own existence, then slowly approach him casually.
Yuan Xiang closed the book and walked back to the house after Nan He licked the small bowl of milk cleanly. He drank too eagerly and got wet. She couldn’t help but wipe it for him.
Little Wolf was taken aback and opened his mouth to bite Yuan Xiang’s finger and a warning sound came from his throat. It was just because of weakness that the movement of biting Yuan Xiang’s fingers back and forth looked more like a baby to her, covering her finger with saliva.
Yuan Xiang took out her fingers, lifted Nan He’s back neck, placed him on the round table in the room and looked at him squarely, “I have no malice against you. If you stay obedient and don’t bite or hurt people, I will not lock you in the array, okay?”
Hearing that, Nan He’s ears raised up and his round eyes opened. Maybe it was because of his small size, his action was very cute. Yuan Xiang endured forbearance and didn’t stretch out her hand to touch the tips of his trembling ears.
“You are lying to me. Human beings are cunning liars,” the magnetic voice peculiar to the demon race sounded.
Nan He barely supported his body and looked at Yuan Xiang hesitantly.
“I am not lying. If I wanted to do something to you, I would have done it a long time ago. What benefit could I get by lying to you?”
In the morning, Aunt Wu and Aunt Hua from next door asked Yun Niang to go to the market in Lianghe Town which was twenty miles away.
She wouldn’t eat at home at noon, so Yuan Xiang grabbed a chicken in the yard and slaughtered it, added Codonopsis, Angelica and Astragalus. In addition, she steamed a small half bucket of white rice in a big pot.
When she was busy with these things in the kitchen, she put the injured Nan He in a basket covered with cotton pads, carried it to the kitchen and placed it in a corner so that she could see it at any time. Sure enough, he was no longer restricted to the array.
Not long after, the aroma of chicken soup and herbs overflowed from the earthen jar. The little wolf who had only drank half a bowl of milk in two days smelled the aroma of meat. His belly groaned. He was approaching the most critical skeletal phase of the Sirius tribe, where he needed a lot of food to supplement energy.
The young wolves of the Sirius tribe were different from ordinary demons in adulthood. It was the most severe stage of life called the skeletal phase. In order to cope with the difficulty, the little wolves needed to store sufficient energy in their bodies in advance to break through the shackles of the realm in one swoop. After leaving the skeleton, they could be said to be an adult if they could pass the psychic energy and hold the great supernatural powers.
It was precisely because it was approaching the crucial period of separation that Nan He began to hunt large amounts of demons for food to strengthen his physique but accidentally revealed the long-hidden deeds, attracting the great demons of Celestial Wolf mountain who chased him.
The great demons living in the mountain range were once the subjects of the Sirius clan and were shrouded in the absolute rule of Sirius for many years.

Oooh. So they have a physical form when young and when they reach maturity they get a purely spiritual form, like other demons.
