The demon gives gifts
"I don't have any major issues, just suffered some slight internal injuries. By the time the banquet starts tonight, I should basically be fully recovered."
"I am quite curious, though. The Nine-Headed Lion invited those Great Yao to attend the banquet; do they really dare to come?"
Although Xiao Feng knew that the Human Race and the Yao Race were different.
But just a moment ago, those Great Yao had directly attacked the Nine-Headed Lion.
They were all aiming for the Nine-Headed Lion's life.
Not only did the Nine-Headed Lion not kill them on the spot, but he even invited them to attend this banquet.
Xiao Feng couldn't quite understand; were interactions within the Yao Race really this casual?
It wasn't until the banquet was about to begin that Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei reappeared at the venue.
The grassland was extremely lively. Xiao Feng saw many other members of the Yao Race appearing here, holding gifts in their hands—all congratulatory presents for the Nine-Headed Lion successfully Undergoing Tribulation.
Those Great Yao who had attacked earlier, as well as those who hadn't, had all sent subordinates to deliver gifts.
Both sides were all smiles, as if the previous battle had never happened.
One second they were fighting to the death, and the next second they could shake hands and make peace.
Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in the other's eyes.
"Even if they are the Yao Race, they shouldn't be broad-minded to this extent, right? I personally blocked those Great Yao's attacks earlier."
"They truly wanted to kill the Nine-Headed Lion, yet now they've come specifically to deliver gifts. Could it be that they are afraid of the Nine-Headed Lion settling scores later?"
That was what Xiao Feng thought, but looking at the expressions of the Lion Demons responsible for receiving the gifts, it clearly wasn't the case.
Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei didn't understand these things, so they decided not to dwell on it.
The two of them went straight to the Lion Demon Clan's plaza, where today's banquet was being held.
The banquet tables were already prepared, and all the Great Yao who were supposed to come were already seated.
The appearance of Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei immediately caused the many Great Yao present to fall silent.
Those Great Yao who had watched the Nine-Headed Lion's Breakthrough earlier had seen it with their own eyes.
If not for Xiao Feng's intervention, the Nine-Headed Lion might not have successfully completed this Undergoing Tribulation.
Xiao Feng had first thrown out a Magic Treasure that could help block the heavenly lightning, and then personally stepped forward to help the Nine-Headed Lion block the siege of those Great Yao.
Those Great Yao who had failed to kill the Nine-Headed Lion all glared 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 walked straight into the banquet.
The two elders of the Lion Demon Clan who had originally been sitting next to the Nine-Headed Lion, upon seeing Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei arrive, very tactfully retreated quickly, vacating the seats next to the Nine-Headed Lion.
"Brother Xiao, Miss Zhao, come over and sit here quickly. I was just about to send someone to invite you; I thought you weren't coming to attend this celebratory banquet tonight."
The Nine-Headed Lion stood up directly, quickly walked down the steps, took Xiao Feng's hand, and personally led Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei to the two seats that had just been vacated.
The Nine-Headed Lion's attitude toward Xiao Feng made these Great Yao even more certain.
As long as Xiao Feng had not incurred the Nine-Headed Lion's disgust, they absolutely must not easily attack Xiao Feng, otherwise the Nine-Headed Lion would definitely not let them off.
"Is this position a bit too far forward? Given our status, sitting here might not be appropriate," Xiao Feng said politely to the Nine-Headed Lion.
The Nine-Headed Lion waved his hand boldly and then said, "If not for you, there would be no banquet. Forget about sitting here; even if you sat in my seat, it would be appropriate. Come, come, come, you go with me and sit in my seat!"
Seeing that the Nine-Headed Lion was truly about to drag him to the seat of honor, Xiao Feng quickly stopped the Nine-Headed Lion, saying that he wanted to sit here to accompany Zhao Yuwei.
The Nine-Headed Lion couldn't force Xiao Feng, so he had to let Xiao Feng sit down.
The banquet officially began. Xiao Feng observed the Yao Race's celebratory banquet and felt that it was not much different from that of the Human Race; it was basically performances, eating, drinking, and having fun.
Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei also gradually relaxed, chatting casually with other Great Yao at the banquet about trivial matters.
Halfway through the banquet, the Great Yao began to present their gifts to the Nine-Headed Lion one after another.
The Nine-Headed Lion waved his hand and accepted all the gifts presented, winking at Xiao Feng, preparing to share these gifts with Xiao Feng after the banquet ended.
No other novel events occurred at the banquet. After the many members of the Yao Race celebrated together for several hours, the banquet ended.
After the meal, the many Great Yao returned to their respective territories, leaving only the Nine-Headed Lion, Xiao Feng, and Zhao Yuwei remaining on the plaza.
Xiao Feng had originally intended to take Zhao Yuwei and leave.
However, the Nine-Headed Lion sent a sound transmission to Xiao Feng, asking him to wait a moment, as he had important matters to tell Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng guessed that the Nine-Headed Lion was likely going to talk to him about the Devouring Sky Python, so he stayed behind.
After many Lion Demons had also returned to rest, the Nine-Headed Lion led Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei toward the place where they were staying.
"This Undergoing Tribulation was successful thanks to Brother Xiao Feng's help. I once promised Brother Xiao Feng that I would help you deal with the Devouring Sky Python. Didn't you want to know where the Devouring Sky Python's reverse scale is located?"
The Nine-Headed Lion didn't beat around the bush; what he was about to say was exactly what Xiao Feng wanted to know most.
Xiao Feng nodded immediately and then looked at the Nine-Headed Lion.
The Nine-Headed Lion directly pointed to his own throat, telling Xiao Feng that the location of the Devouring Sky Python's reverse scale was at its throat.
Usually, when the Devouring Sky Python attacked, it rarely exposed this area.
If Xiao Feng wanted to pierce the reverse scale at its throat, he had to make it tilt its head back, exposing its throat area.
"Moreover, the reverse scale only reveals itself when it uses its full Demonic Power. Only by seizing that moment can you pierce its reverse scale and eliminate the Devouring Sky Python."
The Nine-Headed Lion did not hold anything back this time, telling Xiao Feng everything about the reverse scale.
Xiao Feng nodded, and after noting these details down, he asked the Nine-Headed Lion curiously, "How do you know all this?"
"Since you knew where its weak point was, you should have had the ability to kill it when you fought before."
Hearing Xiao Feng's words, the Nine-Headed Lion couldn't help but laugh bitterly. "That's not wrong; I did have the ability to kill it. However, we are both of the Yao Race, and we don't have any deep-seated hatred or grudges between us, so there was no need to cut weeds and eliminate the roots."
Xiao Feng remained silent.
The Nine-Headed Lion didn't reveal anything else, only indicating that since Xiao Feng wanted to kill the Devouring Sky Python, he would fulfill his previous promise to Xiao Feng and help him deal with the Devouring Sky Python.
"Then I will have to trouble the Lion King."
Xiao Feng took Zhao Yuwei back to their room.
