"I didn't expect the Lion King to have such good eyesight. This is indeed the legendary Fire Infant Fruit. Even I only got three. This thing is of great use to both humans and demons. I wonder if I can use this to exchange for the leaves of the Profound Enlightenment Tree with the Lion King."
Xiao Feng picked up the fruit and handed it to the Lion King in front of him.
The lion king's eyes gleamed with a burning desire and excitement.
It wasn't that he was unwilling to exchange leaves from the Xuanwu Tree with Xiao Feng.
He was just worried that Xiao Feng wouldn't be able to produce what he needed.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Feng was able to produce the Fire Infant Fruit that he had been dreaming of.
The fruit that he had searched high and low among the demon race had somehow appeared in Xiao Feng's hands.
"If it's just a Fire Infant Fruit, it's not enough to exchange for a leaf of the Profound Enlightenment Tree. You human brat have some good stuff in your hands, so don't be stingy. Take it all out and let me see it."
“I just saw that you also have several extremely rare medicinal herbs.”
At this moment, the Nine-Headed Lion's attitude towards Xiao Feng was much better than when they first met, and he looked with great interest at the spatial ring on Xiao Feng's hand that he was using as a disguise.
"Lion King, don't be in a hurry. Of course I know that one fruit is not enough to exchange for enough Profound Enlightenment Trees. I have many more here..."
Xiao Feng took all the medicinal herbs that would be helpful to the Lion King from his system space and placed them in front of the Lion King.
The Lion King was already dazzled by what he saw.
Although Xiao Feng didn't give many of each item, with these things, the Lion King's cultivation level could rise again.
The combined value of these things is now comparable to that of the leaves of the Xuanwu Tree.
"How about it? Will the Lion King make this deal with me?"
After Xiao Feng laid out all the items, he spoke again in a gentle voice.
The nine-headed lion's gaze toward Xiao Feng was no longer filled with disgust; instead, it held a hint of fervor.
After hesitating for two seconds, he nodded in agreement.
"Since you're somewhat sensible, I'll agree to make this deal with you."
Upon hearing what the Nine-Headed Lion said, Xiao Feng generously gifted him some items that only humans possessed, as well as various fruits, vegetables, and grain seeds.
"What are these?" The Nine-Headed Lion asked, seeing the large pile of things Xiao Feng had taken out.
Although it didn't sense any particularly strong spiritual energy fluctuations from above, the nine-headed lion did smell a sweet aroma.
Xiao Feng saw that the Nine-Headed Lion's gaze had fallen on one of the fruits that looked like a pear, so he picked out the fruit and threw it to the Nine-Headed Lion.
"These are the fruits and vegetables that our human race eats. I think the demon race would like them too. And that part is the grain seeds of our human race. Consider it a gift from me to the Lion King."
Xiao Feng spoke with a smile.
The nine-headed lion wasn't worried that Xiao Feng would poison this thing.
If Xiao Feng dares to poison him, he can forget about leaving the Lion Demon's territory.
The nine-headed lion took a bite of the fruit in its hand, half believing and half doubting.
The sweet taste made the nine-headed lion fall in love with it instantly.
Moreover, the fruit was crisp and crunchy. Although it didn't have much spiritual power, its taste truly appealed to the nine-headed lion.
"This tastes good. You are quite extraordinary as a human. I like you, and I will accept your gift."
The nine-headed lion carried Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei back to the grassland outside.
The nine-headed lion handed over all the fruits, vegetables, and seeds that Xiao Feng had just given him to his people.
Xiao Feng also taught the lion demons how to plant these plant seeds.
The environment of the demon race is very suitable for the growth of various plants.
Xiao Feng believed that these things would definitely grow better here.
The demon race has a special group that can accelerate the germination of plant seeds.
Xiao Feng has already told the Nine-Headed Lion that everything he has given away contains seeds.
They can save the seeds and try growing them themselves first.
If you can't grow them yourself, you can ask the demons who are good at planting to help them grow these fruits, vegetables and grains.
The Nine-Headed Lion directly summoned the Lion Demon's Grand Elder to Xiao Feng to discuss these matters.
Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei's status within the Lion Demon Clan rose instantly.
Even the nine-headed lion showed favoritism and importance towards the two, so the other lion demons' attitudes toward Xiao Feng naturally changed as well.
The young lion demon, who had initially been hostile towards Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei, was so embarrassed that he specially brought Xiao Feng a lot of prey to apologize.
Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei stayed at the lion demon's place for the time being.
It's getting late, so it's obviously not a good time to pick leaves from the Xuanwu Tree.
The nine-headed lion then said that he would personally take Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei to pick leaves from the Xuanwu Tree the next day.
The Taotie and the bird demon were immediately displeased to see Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei thriving in the lion demon's territory.
The two demons lured Xiao Feng over, intending to use the Nine-Headed Lion to kill him directly.
The fact that the Nine-Headed Lions are being so friendly to Xiao Feng is not what they originally planned.
That evening, after eating a few more pears, the nine-headed lion was about to rest when it suddenly sensed the approaching presence of other demons.
The nine-headed lion immediately went out of its cave and saw the bird demon and the Taotie outside.
The nine-headed lion was not afraid of the bird demon, but he was somewhat wary of the Taotie.
The subtle oppressive aura emanating from the Taotie instantly put the nine-headed lion into a state of battle readiness.
"Lion King, do not worry. We are not your enemies. We just want to make a deal with you."
When the Nine-Headed Lion King heard Taotie say this, although he did not completely lower his guard, he also withdrew the pressure he had been releasing towards Taotie and the bird demon.
"So it's Lord Taotie. Lord Taotie hasn't appeared in the demon race for a long time. May I ask what brings you here today?" the nine-headed lion said.
"It seems that two humans have arrived in the Lion King's territory. Since ancient times, the blood feud between the demon race and the human race has never been resolved. However, the Lion King seems to be treating these two humans as honored guests of your Lion Demon race. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
The Taotie opens its mouth, revealing yin and yang.
"What's inappropriate about it? What does the struggle between humans and demons have to do with me? If these two humans can provide what I need, then they are my guests. Besides, we lion demons and humans don't have that much of a grudge."
The nine-headed lion immediately realized that Taotie wanted to incite him to kill Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei.
The nine-headed lion was somewhat suspicious. While his mind raced, he deliberately questioned Taotie's words.
"Doesn't the Lion King fear that your decision will provoke the wrath of the demon race? If the other great demons knew that the famous nine-headed lion was afraid of humans and unwilling to fight for the demon race, they would certainly not let the lion demon clan off the hook."
Taotie spoke again, actually using the names of other great demons to try and force the Nine-Headed Lion to kill Xiao Feng.
The nine-headed lion let out a cold laugh and threw a fireball at the bird demon and the Taotie.
