Nine-headed lion

Xiao Feng was there, leisurely turning the meat skewers that were not yet roasted well.

Every time he sprinkled seasoning, it was a stimulation to the taste buds of the humans and Yao Race present.

Zhao Yuwei had tasted Xiao Feng's cooking before.

But every time, Xiao Feng brought her new surprises, and truly, one would never feel tired of eating Xiao Feng's roasted meat, no matter how long.

"You two go find some edible fruits nearby. Eating only roasted meat is a bit too greasy; it would be best to find some fruits that can be juiced."

Xiao Feng spoke, instructing the Bird Demon and Taowu.

Taowu negotiated with Xiao Feng: "Can you save a portion of this roasted meat for me! It smells so good!"

Xiao Feng did not take the bait, speaking instead: "Why aren't you hurrying off to find fruits? At most, I will leave you two skewers!"

Taowu pushed its luck: "How could two skewers be enough? I want twenty!"

Xiao Feng sneered: "Two skewers at most. Take it or leave it; if you don't want it, go find something else to eat yourselves!"

Taowu was almost angered to death by Xiao Feng, and directly said in a huff: "I won't eat it then! Do you think I'm that desperate to eat it?!"

Taowu left, dragging the Bird Demon along with it.

Just after they left, Xiao Feng immediately took out cups and fruits from the System space.

After using his spiritual energy to juice them into two cups, Xiao Feng took one, and Zhao Yuwei took the other.

"Don't you have fruits? Why did you make them go out and find some?"

Zhao Yuwei looked at Xiao Feng with a smile in her eyes, as if looking at a child playing a prank.

"They curse me behind my back and plot against me, yet they expect me to let them eat the meat skewers I roast? They're dreaming!"

Xiao Feng snorted coldly and divided the roasted meat skewers equally between the two of them.

In truth, at their current Realm, neither of them had much desire for such food.

It was just that one shouldn't let good food go to waste.

Plus, not eating for a long time affects one's mood, which is why Xiao Feng showcased his skills.

But the things he roasted were only for him and Zhao Yuwei to eat; he would not give any to Taowu or the Bird Demon.

After Taowu left the tree hollow in a rage, it didn't follow Xiao Feng's request to find any fruit at all.

It dragged the Bird Demon to a remote place and unleashed a torrent of angry curses at Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng, meanwhile, heard everything Taowu said through the audio Magical Artifact in the System space.

He had originally thought about whether he should leave a few skewers for Taowu and the Bird Demon, as he would still need them to work later and shouldn't push them too hard.

After hearing the angry curses from Taowu and the Bird Demon, Xiao Feng directly split the remaining meat skewers between himself and Zhao Yuwei.

He didn't leave a single skewer for them.

By the time the two of them had eaten and drunk their fill, the Bird Demon and Taowu still hadn't returned.

Xiao Feng didn't wait any longer.

While the Bird Demon and Taowu were out looking for game earlier, Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei had already tidied up the tree hollow a bit, barely giving it the appearance of a room.

Xiao Feng had stored quite a lot of furniture in the System space, and the tree hollow was spacious enough.

Xiao Feng simply moved a small wooden house out.

Although the space wasn't very large, at least everything was complete.

Furthermore, this small wooden house had a spiritual protective barrier, making it slightly safer.

Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei went directly into the room to rest.

More than an hour later, the Bird Demon and Taowu finally returned with the fruits Xiao Feng had asked them to find.

But when they returned, they only saw a new house in the tree hollow, and it was clear that Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei were already resting.

The roasted meat had also been eaten up.

Taowu was so angry it wanted to smash the fruits in its hands directly onto Xiao Feng's head.

But as soon as it approached the room, Taowu felt a barrier guarding the place.

Xiao Feng's various actions almost angered Taowu to death.

Yet Taowu didn't dare to run away from Xiao Feng, so it could only swallow its anger, leave the tree hollow directly, and jump onto a tree branch to rest.

The Bird Demon also found a triangular branch not far from Taowu and rested for the night.

Taowu had originally planned to wait until Xiao Feng woke up the next day and wanted to leave, then directly lead Xiao Feng to the territory of the Nine-Headed Lion it had discussed with the Bird Demon.

Unexpectedly, after Xiao Feng woke up the next morning, he was in no rush to leave and again ordered Taowu to go catch more game.

Taowu protested, but Xiao Feng indicated that if it finished roasting the meat skewers this time, he could give Taowu five skewers.

Taowu still wanted to haggle, but seeing Xiao Feng's expression, it had to shut its mouth and angrily dragged the Bird Demon off to hunt for Xiao Feng.

The game Taowu brought back this time was indeed enough.

Xiao Feng put a portion of the processed game meat directly into the System space.

He made all the remaining meat into skewers and stored another portion in the System space as dry rations.

Anyway, once food is placed into the System space, there is no loss of texture or flavor.

Considering that Taowu and the Bird Demon had performed well, Xiao Feng gave each of them ten meat skewers.

The moment the delicious meat skewers were eaten, Taowu felt that its hard work hadn't been in vain and its grievances had been soothed.

Xiao Feng stayed at the tree hollow for two full days before continuing on his journey.

Taowu and the Bird Demon had thought Xiao Feng would ask how to leave this place.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Feng actually had the Bird Demon lead the way to wander around the island, as long as it didn't get close to the territories of some great Yao.

The two Yao Race beings didn't know at this time that Xiao Feng already knew their plan, and also knew that they would absolutely not follow his requirements.

The two demons were still feeling pleased with themselves, thinking they would finally be able to kill Xiao Feng.

Over these two days, Taowu had already discussed things with the Bird Demon.

If Xiao Feng wanted to leave the tree hollow, they would lead Xiao Feng to the territory of the Nine-Headed Lion.

The Nine-Headed Lion was the closest great Yao to this place.

It hated the Human Race the most, was naturally overbearing, and was cruel and bloodthirsty.

Countless human race cultivators had died by its hands.

If Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei stepped onto the Nine-Headed Lion's territory, the Nine-Headed Lion would definitely not let them go.

As long as Xiao Feng died, the two of them would be free.

"As long as that guy Xiao Feng is dead, his Storage Pouch will have no owner, and I will be able to easily break it open. I don't believe that the poison he researched himself won't have an antidote; he must be deliberately trying to scare me!" Taowu thought confidently.

Xiao Feng knew of the two demons' plan, but he did not expose them and still chose to let the Bird Demon lead the way.

When Xiao Feng had previously checked this place with his Divine Sense, he discovered there were many Spirit Medicines on this island.

There were many Spirit Medicines that were very rare and seldom seen in Human Race territories.

However, in the Yao Race's territory, these Spirit Medicines grew as wildly and lushly as weeds.

The soil here was suitable for their growth, and even their medicinal efficacy was better than the Spirit Medicines carefully cultivated in Human Race territories.

Xiao Feng specifically had the Bird Demon take him to places not controlled by great Yao to harvest these Spirit Medicines.

The Bird Demon pretended to be obedient and well-behaved, little by little leading Xiao Feng closer to the Nine-Headed Lion's place.
