Sure enough, when the nine-headed lion saw Xiao Feng in this state, he immediately felt a little guilty and quickly spoke up.

"I have some other treasures here. You can see if there's anything you can use, and I'll give them all to you as well."

That's exactly what Xiao Feng wanted to hear.

Xiao Feng feigned embarrassment and said, "It's alright. Since we've agreed that it's just an exchange of leaves from the Profound Enlightenment Tree, these will suffice."

The more Xiao Feng tried to refuse, the more insistent the Nine-Headed Lion became, insisting that Xiao Feng select a few items from his collection.

If Xiao Feng doesn't choose him, he'll look down on him.

Left with no other choice, Xiao Feng could only randomly pick two items.

While selecting items from the Nine-Headed Lion collection, Xiao Feng was also observing the Nine-Headed Lion's expression.

Unfortunately, the nine-headed lion probably really didn't know the difference between what the demon race and the human race needed.

The items that Xiao Feng picked out were all things that humans needed but the demon race couldn't use.

Furthermore, although the Nine-Headed Lion is a great demon, it has long resided among the demon race and has never been to the human race.

Therefore, the nine-headed lion was unaware of the value of those things.

When Xiao Feng picked out the two most ordinary items from all his collection, the Nine-Headed Lion thought Xiao Feng was a good person and even wanted to give him a few more, but Xiao Feng solemnly refused.

"You are truly different from other humans; I've even grown to like you!"

With his personal charm, Xiao Feng became sworn brothers with the Nine-Headed Lion in just a few days.

Only Zhao Yuwei knew how much the Nine-Headed Lion had lost.

Before leaving, Zhao Yuwei took out the pills she had secretly obtained earlier, which could help the demon race break through the shackles of bloodline and improve their cultivation, and gave them to the Nine-Headed Lion.

"This is a breakthrough pill exclusively for the demon race. Please accept it, Lion King. We are grateful for your care during our stay here. This is just a small token of our gratitude."

Xiao Feng also felt that this seemingly dim-witted nine-headed lion had indeed been tricked quite badly by him, so he did not stop Zhao Yuwei's actions.

Unexpectedly, the very pills that Zhao Yuwei took out attracted the attention of the nine-headed lion.

"There are very few demon races among us who can refine pills. Most of us just swallow the Breakthrough Grass directly, and its medicinal power is not comparable to these pills. You are truly the kindest people among the human race!"

The nine-headed lion was very grateful to Zhao Yuwei and accepted the pill from her hand.

As a male himself, Xiao Feng sensed something was amiss; the nine-headed lion seemed to be looking at Zhao Yuwei with a strange expression.

The next moment, Xiao Feng heard the nine-headed lion speak to Zhao Yuwei: "The demon race is a mixed group of races, and there are bound to be some who can't judge people well. Why don't you let your companions continue onward, and you stay here? What do you think?"

Zhao Yuwei was still a little confused, thinking that the nine-headed lions were grateful to her for giving them the pills and wanted them to stay as guests.

Zhao Yuwei smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Lion King, but we really should be on our way. Let's not bother you any longer."

The nine-headed lion quickly spoke up: "Not at all, not at all. How could your presence be a disturbance? I've been looking forward to your return..."

Xiao Feng realized that if this topic continued, his senior sister would be confessed to by another demon.

Xiao Feng quickly said, "Lord Lion King, my senior sister cannot stay; she wants to leave with me."

The nine-headed lion, interrupted, looked at Xiao Feng with some confusion.

"She's your senior sister. If she wants to stay here, that's her freedom. Why are you stopping her?" The nine-headed lion asked, looking puzzled.

At this moment, Zhao Yuwei also realized what the nine-headed lion meant by what he had just said.

She glanced at Xiao Feng somewhat awkwardly.

Xiao Feng then gritted his teeth and explained, "Although she is my senior sister, she is also my partner, so of course she cannot stay here."

After hearing Xiao Feng's words, the nine-headed lion suddenly realized what was going on.

Xiao Feng thought that by revealing their relationship, he could dispel the unrealistic ideas in the mind of the Nine-Headed Lion. However, the next second, Xiao Feng heard...

"I know, but so what? I don't care about these things. As long as Miss Zhao is willing to stay, I will make her the only queen of the entire lion demon clan."

Xiao Feng clenched his fists, suddenly wanting to punch the Lion King in front of him in the face.

Humans and demons are not prohibited from intermarrying.

Love between humans and demons is unacceptable to both.

However, few demons dared to comment on the matter concerning a powerful demon like the Nine-Headed Lion.

But that doesn't give the Nine-Headed Lion the right to try and steal Xiao Feng's wife right in front of him.

“She is my Daoist partner. Lion King, you are being a bit unreasonable! Even if the demon race is open-minded, you can’t just steal someone else’s wife!” Xiao Feng immediately shielded Zhao Yuwei behind him.

Seeing Xiao Feng's alarmed expression, the nine-headed lion suddenly realized what was going on and quickly said, "You've misunderstood. I didn't mean to steal your wife."

"I just think Miss Zhao is a very nice person, and I wanted to ask her if she would like to stay here. As long as Miss Zhao is willing, she can come back anytime."

“There are often some treacherous people among your human race. Although I know you are not, Brother Xiao, isn’t this just in case?”

Seeing that the Nine-Headed Lion's words were getting increasingly offensive, Xiao Feng simply grabbed Zhao Yuwei and turned to leave.

The nine-headed lion quickly called out to the two from behind.

"Don't be angry, I was just joking with you. This is a map of the current form of the demon race that I had drawn over the past few days."

"It depicts the various forces of the demon race. Whether you want to delve deeper into the demon race or leave its territory, you should all need this map."

"Although I am a great demon, there are even more powerful demons deep within the demon realm. You must be extremely careful from now on."

Xiao Feng also knew that most demons were very straightforward.

You either like something or you dislike it.

It's not surprising that the Nine-Headed Lion would so openly express his affection for Zhao Yuwei.

Looking at the extremely detailed map, Xiao Feng remained silent for a long time before finally thanking the Nine-Headed Lion.

The next second, Xiao Feng heard the nine-headed lion speak to Zhao Yuwei again: "Miss Zhao, what I said before is absolutely true. No matter when you come back, the territory of the lion demon clan will be open to you."

Xiao Feng rolled his eyes and took his leave with Zhao Yuwei.

As she walked away from the lion demon clan's resting place, Zhao Yuwei could barely suppress the smile on her face.

Xiao Feng stood aside, sulking.

Seeing Zhao Yuwei's radiant smile, Xiao Feng immediately spoke up: "He actually dared to steal my wife! If it weren't for the fact that he gave me the Xuanwu Leaf, I wouldn't have let this go so easily."

Zhao Yuwei chimed in smugly, "There's nothing I can do, your senior sister is just that charming. Let's see if you dare to make me angry again!"

Xiao Feng quickly and obediently coaxed Zhao Yuwei; he couldn't let his wife run off with someone else.
