The terrified Pei Shaosen suddenly discovered that a huge human face had appeared on the wall beside him—it was the Wood Demon that Feng Lin had introduced to him earlier.
Pei Shaosen had just heard Feng Lin say that the Wood Demon eats ghosts, and then the Wood Demon suddenly showed up. Pei Shaosen's first reaction was to step back in a big hurry, putting more distance between himself and the Wood Demon's face.
With a mouth that big, his thin frame would definitely be swallowed in one bite. The Wood Demon was briefly depressed by Pei Shaosen's reaction—he had clearly wanted to comfort the guy, yet ended up scaring him instead.
Afraid Pei Shaosen would get even more nervous seeing him, the Wood Demon could only leave a brief sentence: "You have a contract. I won't eat you. I'll protect you." With that, the Wood Demon disappeared again.
