"I'm fine, just a little internal injury. I'll be mostly healed by the time the banquet starts tonight."
"I'm quite curious, if the Nine-Headed Lion invites those great demons to the banquet, will they really dare to come?"
Xiao Feng knew that humans and demons were different.
But those powerful demons just now directly attacked the nine-headed lion.
They were all after the nine-headed lion.
The nine-headed lion not only did not kill them on the spot, but even invited them to the banquet.
Xiao Feng was a little confused. Were the interactions between the demon races really that casual?
Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei did not reappear at the banquet until just before it was about to begin.
The grassland was bustling with activity. Xiao Feng saw many other demons appearing there, each carrying gifts to congratulate the Nine-Headed Lion on successfully passing its tribulation.
Those powerful demons who had previously made a move, and those who hadn't, all sent their subordinates to deliver gifts.
Both sides were all smiles, as if the previous battle had never happened.
One second they're fighting to the death, the next they can shake hands and make peace.
Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.
"Even though they are demons, they shouldn't be this magnanimous, right? I personally fended off the attacks of those powerful demons before."
"They definitely want to kill the Nine-Headed Lion, and now they've come here specifically to deliver gifts. Could it be that they're afraid the Nine-Headed Lion will retaliate later?"
Xiao Feng thought this to himself, but the expressions on the faces of the lion demons responsible for collecting the gifts clearly showed otherwise.
Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei were unaware of these things, so they simply stopped thinking about it.
The two went directly to the lion demon clan's plaza, where today's banquet was being held.
The banquet was ready, and all the great demons who were supposed to come were already seated.
The appearance of Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei immediately silenced all the powerful demons present.
Those powerful demons who had previously witnessed the Nine-Headed Lion's breakthrough saw it all with their own eyes.
If it weren't for Xiao Feng's help, the Nine-Headed Lion might not have been able to successfully overcome this tribulation.
Xiao Feng first used a magical artifact that could help him withstand the heavenly lightning, and then personally stepped forward to help the Nine-Headed Lion defend against the siege of those great demons.
Those powerful demons who failed to kill the nine-headed lion all looked at Xiao Feng with murderous intent.
But none of them dared to act recklessly in front of the nine-headed lion.
Xiao Feng took Zhao Yuwei's hand and went straight into the banquet.
The two elders of the lion demon clan who were originally sitting next to the nine-headed lion quickly stepped back and made room for Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei when they arrived.
"Brother Xiao, Miss Zhao, come and sit here. I was just about to send someone to invite you. I thought you weren't coming to the celebration banquet tonight."
The nine-headed lion stood up abruptly, quickly walked down the steps, grabbed Xiao Feng's hand, and personally led Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei to the two seats that had been vacated earlier.
The nine-headed lion's attitude toward Xiao Feng further convinced these powerful demons.
As long as Xiao Feng hasn't incurred the Nine-Headed Lions' displeasure, they absolutely cannot easily attack him; otherwise, the Nine-Headed Lions will never let them off the hook.
"Isn't this seat a bit too far forward? Given our status, it might not be appropriate for us to sit here," Xiao Feng said politely to the Nine-Headed Lion.
The nine-headed lion waved his hand generously and said, "If it weren't for you, there would be no banquet. You could sit here, or even in my seat, and it would be perfectly appropriate. Come on, come on, come with me and sit in my seat!"
Seeing that the Nine-Headed Lion was really going to drag him to the top seat, Xiao Feng quickly stopped the Nine-Headed Lion and said that he wanted to sit here with Zhao Yuwei.
The nine-headed lion couldn't force Xiao Feng to sit down, so it could only let him sit down.
The banquet officially began. Xiao Feng observed the demon race's celebration banquet and felt that it was not much different from that of the human race. It was basically all about performances, eating, drinking, and having fun.
Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei gradually relaxed and chatted casually about trivial things with the other powerful demons at the banquet.
Halfway through the banquet, the great demons began to offer gifts to the nine-headed lion.
The nine-headed lion waved its hand and accepted all the gifts presented. It winked at Xiao Feng, preparing to share the gifts with him after the banquet.
Nothing new or unusual happened at the banquet. After the many demons celebrated together for several hours, the banquet came to an end.
After the meal, the many powerful demons returned to their respective territories, leaving only the nine-headed lion, Xiao Feng, and Zhao Yuwei in the square.
Xiao Feng originally intended to leave with Zhao Yuwei.
The nine-headed lion then sent a telepathic message to Xiao Feng, asking him to wait a moment, as he had something important to tell him.
Xiao Feng guessed that the Nine-Headed Lion probably wanted to talk to him about the Devouring Python, so he stayed.
After all the lion demons had gone back to rest, the nine-headed lion led Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei toward where they were resting.
"This time, I owe a great deal to Brother Xiao Feng's help in overcoming this tribulation. I promised Brother Xiao Feng that I would work with you to deal with the Devouring Python. Didn't you want to know where the Devouring Python's reverse scale is?"
The nine-headed lion was quite decisive; the things mentioned above were exactly what Xiao Feng wanted to know.
Xiao Feng nodded immediately, then looked at the nine-headed lion.
The nine-headed lion pointed directly to the location of its own throat, telling Xiao Feng that the Devouring Python's reverse scale was located at its throat.
Normally, the Devouring Python rarely exposes this position when it attacks.
If Xiao Feng wanted to strike at his throat, he had to make him tilt his head back and expose his throat.
"Moreover, the reverse scale will only be revealed when he uses all his demonic power. Only by seizing this moment can we strike his reverse scale and defeat the Devouring Python."
This time, the Nine-Headed Lion made no secret of anything and told Xiao Feng everything about the Reverse Scale.
Xiao Feng nodded, noted down the details, and then asked the Nine-Headed Lion curiously, "How did you know all this?"
"Since you know where his weak point is, you should have been able to kill him when you fought him before."
Hearing Xiao Feng's words, the nine-headed lion was both amused and exasperated: "That's true. I do have the ability to kill him, but we are both demons and we don't have any deep-seated grudges between us, so there's no need to eliminate him completely."
Xiao Feng remained silent.
The Nine-Headed Lion didn't reveal anything else, only stating that since Xiao Feng wanted to kill the Devouring Python, he would fulfill his previous promise to Xiao Feng and help him deal with the Devouring Python.
"Then thank you very much, Lion King."
Xiao Feng took Zhao Yuwei back to the room.
