“I’m so sorry, esteemed guest, but my ancestor is currently in seclusion and cultivating. I don’t know when he will emerge. I will pass on these gifts on his behalf.”
"Please stay at my residence for the time being. If you find anything uncomfortable, please feel free to come and find me."
Xiao Feng wasn't disappointed, although he didn't know whether the patriarch was truly in seclusion or simply didn't want to see him.
Xiao Feng has achieved his goal.
As long as he can stay in the City Lord's Mansion, does the Heavenly Sect Master dare to directly break into the City Lord's Mansion of the Lion Demon Ancestor?
"Then I'll take my leave. Just do as the steward arranges. I won't be picky." Xiao Feng smiled brightly.
The butler paused for a moment, then his smile deepened.
"Please follow me, esteemed guest." The steward led the way, and Xiao Feng chatted idly with him.
Xiao Feng didn't inquire about the ancestor's affairs, but asked the steward why there were so many humans in this city, and why there were shops run by humans.
“My ancestor once had several human friends, but some accidents happened to those friends. My ancestor hoped that one day, humans and demons could live in harmony in his territory, so he specially set up rules.”
"Humans are allowed to come and open shops and make purchases. If any distinguished guest has any needs, they are welcome to visit the city."
Xiao Feng nodded knowingly and asked about some other trivial matters, which the steward answered one by one.
Xiao Feng truly felt the weight of his status.
After all, the steward's enthusiasm for Xiao Feng was genuine, and he did not look down on Xiao Feng in any way because Xiao Feng was a human.
Instead, they arranged a very nice courtyard for him.
It is not only rich in spiritual energy, but also very quiet and not remote.
After questioning Xiao Feng and confirming that he did not need any servants to stay and serve him, the steward handed Xiao Feng something that looked like a mirror.
The steward told Xiao Feng that if he needed any help, he could simply call out to him through the mirror, and he would come to Xiao Feng's place as quickly as possible.
Xiao Feng couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to accept the mirror.
Xiao Feng only wanted to find himself a temporary shelter and did not intend to live there for a long time.
However, he has now become curious about this lion demon ancestor who is so different from the other demon races.
Xiao Feng settled into the City Lord's Mansion. After leaving Xiao Feng's side, the steward walked briskly to the backyard.
"Master," the butler said softly in front of the closed door.
The door opened, and the butler walked straight in.
Not long after, the steward came out of the room with his smile unchanged, but the gifts that Xiao Feng had said he would give to the patriarch had disappeared from the steward's hands.
On the second day of Xiao Feng's stay at the City Lord's Mansion, the steward personally came to deliver an invitation to an auction, and it was the highest-level one at that.
"The timing of your arrival is quite opportune. The demon race auction will be held in a few days. This is the invitation to the auction. If you are interested, you are welcome to take a look. Perhaps there will be something you like."
Xiao Feng was indeed quite interested in this.
Although he had attended many auctions, he had never actually seen an auction for the demon race.
I wonder what kind of things are being auctioned off among the demon race?
If there were any resources available for the Devouring Python or Bazhou, Xiao Feng would certainly not be stingy with them.
There are other monsters that have made contracts with me.
Although Xiao Feng cannot leave the demon realm in a short time, he will eventually have to return to the human territory.
When we go back, we can give these things to them.
"Thank you, Uncle Butler." Xiao Feng took out a spiritual fruit from his system space and handed it directly to the butler.
"This is too precious, this old servant cannot accept it." The steward sensed the abundant power within the spiritual fruit, but he still reluctantly returned it to Xiao Feng.
"Why not? Uncle Steward, please don't be so polite with me. During my stay at the City Lord's Mansion, I'll be in trouble with the care of the Stewardess. Please consider me a junior and have some fruit."
Xiao Feng smiled brightly, his innocent and guileless appearance softening the steward's heart.
Whether Xiao Feng was genuinely naive or feigning naivety, at least everything he did after entering the City Lord's Mansion impressed the steward.
"Then thank you very much, esteemed guest." The steward finally accepted the spiritual fruit.
"Uncle Butler, my name is Xiao Feng. Please don't always call me 'Honored Guest,' just call me Xiao Feng."
Xiao Feng felt that the words "distinguished guest" sounded somewhat formal and polite.
"Then how about I call you Young Master Xiao?" The steward did indeed take Xiao Feng's suggestion, but he couldn't actually call Xiao Feng by his name directly, as that would be too impolite.
"Of course." After chatting with the steward for a while, Xiao Feng left Xiao Feng's courtyard and went to the old ancestor's place.
Fortunately, this time, the patriarch did not take away the spiritual fruit that Xiao Feng had specially given him from the steward.
The old man asked in bewilderment, "Is that little guy really as fun as you say?"
The butler's eye twitched slightly before he corrected him, "That's not fun, but he is indeed very interesting."
The old ancestor pursed his lips and didn't say anything more.
The Tianyi Sect Master has also successfully arrived at the city of the great dragon demon, who has a close relationship with his ancestor.
After the Tianyi Sect Master and his group discreetly entered the City Lord's Mansion, they immediately encountered the Great Flood Dragon Demon.
"What does your ancestor want to do with that human named Xiao Feng?" The great dragon demon asked, somewhat puzzled, after hearing the request from the Tianyi Sect Master.
"How could we juniors possibly know the thoughts of our ancestor? However, I have heard that he ruined one of the ancestor's plans, which angered the ancestor. I suppose that is the reason."
Of course, the Sect Master of Tianyi Sect could not tell the truth to the great demon dragon.
After all, the other party was a cold-blooded and ruthless great demon.
Moreover, this is far away in the demon realm. If the other party develops any greedy thoughts, Sect Master Tianyi will not be able to deal with this famous and renowned dragon demon.
Fortunately, the great dragon demon didn't ask any further questions and readily agreed to the matter.
"So what if he captured a human? This is our demon territory. How could a mere human cause any trouble?"
"It's alright if the nine-headed lion protects him. He's just an ordinary demon king. Don't worry, I will definitely capture this guy and hand him over to you."
Upon hearing the great dragon demon's agreement, Sect Master Tianyi immediately appeared relieved and presented the gifts he had prepared in advance.
After glancing at the gifts sent by the Tianyi Sect Master, the great dragon demon showed a satisfied expression and immediately ordered the demon guards in his city lord's mansion to take them to rest.
After the Tianyi Sect Master and his group left, a strange light flashed in the eyes of the great dragon demon.
Mang Chuan summoned his subordinates and ordered them to search for a man named Xiao Feng in the central region of the demon realm.
They secretly captured Xiao Feng the moment they found him, and then immediately notified him, making sure that the Tianyi Sect Master and his ilk didn't find out.
