Seeing that the nine-headed lion had come to their aid, the other great demons did not linger there and left, returning to their respective territories.
With the help of the nine-headed lion, Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei returned to the place where the lion demon lived.
When the lion demons saw that Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei had returned, and that Xiao Feng was still unconscious, they all went forward to inquire about their condition.
The nine-headed lion told the little demons of his tribe that Xiao Feng had fainted because he had fought with the Devouring Python.
During Xiao Feng's rest period, no lion demon was allowed to disturb him.
"Is it that ten-thousand-year-old Sky-Swallowing Python?"
"My goodness! Our honored guest can actually fight against the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Devouring Python!"
"Our distinguished guest is truly remarkable; he has avenged us!"
"That's right, that ten-thousand-year-old Sky-Swallowing Python swallowed many of our clansmen before!"
"I wonder when our distinguished guest will wake up. He must be seriously injured."
"But our distinguished guest has no wounds on him, probably because he was too tired."
The lion demons all looked at the unconscious Xiao Feng with admiration and shock, whispering among themselves.
Zhao Yuwei hadn't expected these lion demons to be so cute.
Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei had only stayed here for a short time, but these lion demons had already taken them for themselves.
After the nine-headed lion led the two to their resting place, it immediately sent away all the little lion demons who were gathered there and unwilling to leave.
The nine-headed lion placed Xiao Feng on the bed in the room, while Zhao Yuwei stayed by his side to take good care of him.
"I can have other lion demons come and take care of Brother Xiao. Why don't you go and rest too?"
The Nine-Headed Lion never missed an opportunity to undermine Xiao Feng.
Although he knew that Zhao Yuwei's attitude towards him would not change.
The nine-headed lion still showed concern for Zhao Yuwei, but he kept the boundaries just right, so that Zhao Yuwei wouldn't reject him because she disliked him.
However, Zhao Yuwei still declined the Nine-Headed Lion's offer, saying that she wanted to take care of Xiao Feng herself and that she wouldn't trust anyone else to do it.
The nine-headed lion didn't say anything more, but simply instructed the other lion demons to prepare food for Zhao Yuwei.
And so, Zhao Yuwei took care of Xiao Feng for a whole day and night.
Finally, on the evening of the second day, Xiao Feng slowly opened his eyes.
Zhao Yuwei was lying next to Xiao Feng, clearly having fallen asleep from exhaustion.
Xiao Feng felt the power within his body had increased considerably, but he also felt a pang of regret.
He failed to break through.
Xiao Feng originally thought that since he had absorbed one-tenth of the Devouring Python's demonic power and transformed it into his own spiritual power, it should at least help him break through the last barrier.
Unexpectedly, they were still a few points short.
"After all, I have only recently broken through to the Great Perfection realm. It will be even more difficult to break through again. It seems that I can only continue to accumulate spiritual power."
Xiao Feng sighed helplessly, but quickly adjusted his mindset.
Without waking Zhao Yuwei, Xiao Feng carefully got off the bed and quietly went outside the room.
"Lion King, it really is you. You haven't given up on trying to steal my man?"
Xiao Feng had sensed the fluctuations of demonic energy outside the room, which is why he secretly left the room with Zhao Yuwei on his back.
But no one expected that the Lion King would be standing here.
"You woke up pretty quickly, don't put it so harshly. I just think Miss Zhao is a very nice person and wanted to give her another option."
Faced with the words of the nine-headed lion, Xiao Feng simply rolled his eyes.
"You deliberately released your demonic power just to make me come out, didn't you? Instead of resting at night, you're outside my room. Are you trying to spy on me?"
Xiao Feng and the Nine-Headed Lion bantered around, and Xiao Feng curiously asked the Nine-Headed Lion why he had come.
"Naturally, it's to hand this guy over to you. When you left unconscious, I almost forgot about him."
"I just remembered that he was left in the Devouring Python's territory, so I went to bring this guy back and hand him over to you to deal with."
The nine-headed lion threw the bound bird demon directly in front of Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng looked calmly at the bird demon struggling in front of him.
“I know you have a use for keeping him by your side, but he’s rebellious by nature and you can’t tame him at all. Rather than letting him secretly plot how to kill you, you might as well get rid of him first.”
The nine-headed lion opened its mouth to remind Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng stared intently at the bird demon on the ground, also pondering what the nine-headed lion had said.
He had initially intended to keep the bird demon alive to add some fun to his boring life and also to see which powerful demons the bird demon could find to kill him.
But after hearing what the nine-headed lion said, Xiao Feng suddenly realized that the bird demon was not very useful to him, and he was considering whether to get rid of the bird demon.
The bird demon struggled fiercely, seemingly wanting to say something to Xiao Feng, but because its beak was sealed, it couldn't speak.
Xiao Feng waved his hand calmly, releasing the restraints that had been sealed to the bird demon's beak.
"My lord, save me! My lord! I am utterly loyal to you, and I have never betrayed you! You must save me!"
Upon hearing the bird demon's words, Xiao Feng let out a cold laugh and squatted down to look at the bird demon in front of him.
"You haven't betrayed me? Then how did I end up in the Devouring Python's territory? Didn't you use the same method to lure me to the Lion King's domain back then? How do you think I won't notice if you use the same method a second time?"
Since Xiao Feng no longer intended to let the bird demon cause trouble around him, he decided not to hide it any longer, as he already knew about Xiao Feng and Taotie's plan.
When the bird demon saw that begging Xiao Feng for mercy was useless, it rolled its eyes and immediately thought of a new method.
"It's because of Lord Taotie. He forced me to do all of this. He instigated me to attack him."
"Lord Taotie is more powerful than me. I am no match for Lord Taotie, so I can only be threatened by Lord Taotie."
"This little demon already knows she was wrong, please give me another chance, sir!"
The nine-headed lion standing to the side glanced at Xiao Feng after hearing Taotie's name.
It's strange, why wasn't Taotie by Xiao Feng's side?
Actually, the Nine-Headed Lion was very curious: Did Taotie actually sign a contract with Xiao Feng?
If they had already signed the contract, Taotie would not receive any benefit if Xiao Feng died, and would have to die with Xiao Feng.
So the Nine-Headed Lion couldn't understand why Taotie would go to such lengths to kill Xiao Feng.
The nine-headed lion struggled for a long time, but ultimately did not ask any questions, nor did it tell Xiao Feng about how Taotie and the bird demon had come to find him together.
"This traitor is yours to interrogate. I'm going back to rest now. Your body hasn't fully recovered yet, so don't waste too much energy." The Nine-Headed Lion left.
