"Oh? You agree to let us take her?"
Hearing Xiao Feng's words, Lü Man's face lit up with joy.
Xiao Feng stood up tall. "No, I was thinking, since you're so interested in the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, why don't you stay and teach her?"
Lü Man raised an eyebrow, and the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor laughed heartily, "Little Fellow, you, a Dou Huang who hasn't seen the world, want to make us stay?"
Xiao Feng chuckled, "Since I stepped out of my Family gate, no one in this world, except Xiao Linger, has dared to say no to me!"

As he spoke, his aura surged wildly, like a scorching sun falling into the desert. The surrounding light twisted, emanating a terrifying power, yet Xiao Xun Er and Qing Lin remained unaffected, their expressions normal.
Lü Man and the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor opposite them did not share this feeling. It was like being pricked by thousands of needles. Their Dou Huang auras instinctively spread out to resist it.
"This kid is very strange. Could he be some old monster who has Rebirth through another body?" The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor exclaimed. Xiao Feng's aura made it somewhat unwilling to face him; only when encountering extremely dangerous existences would it feel this way.
Lü Man was also a little uneasy. "Bai Ya, you tie him up for a while. After I leave with Qing Lin, you find an opportunity to escape. With your speed, escaping shouldn't be a problem, right?"
This was also something the two had discussed on the way. The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor was extremely fast; few Dou Huang of the same level could catch up to it. If anything unexpected happened, it would cover their retreat.
Xiao Feng's figure was reflected in the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor's eyes. "Alright, hurry up!"
With that, it was about to charge at Xiao Feng.
Whoosh!
Boom!
Suddenly, with the sound of a longsword piercing flesh, a sharp pain shot from the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor's tail to its brain. Before it could react, its entire body was violently pressed into the yellow sand, letting out a thunderous crash.
Only then did the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor see what had happened: a giant longsword condensed from Dou Qi had pierced its tail, nailing it to the ground!
When did this sword appear? And how did it break through its defenses?
In an instant, confusion and deep apprehension filled the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor's heart. It roared, constantly thrashing its body, trying to shake off the sword.
"Move again, and the next sword will shatter your Demonic Beast Core."
Xiao Feng's voice was calm, devoid of any killing intent, yet the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor froze, truly not daring to move.
Lü Man, standing by, was filled with anger but likewise dared not make any move.
As the giant sword pinned the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor, several swords appeared around her, and one was pointed directly at her glabella.
"Is that all you've got?" Lü Man scoffed.
No sooner had she spoken than Lü Man's body, surrounded by small swords, transformed into a piece of wood, and she herself appeared directly in close proximity to Xiao Feng. A trace of green light burst forth from her fingertip, and countless roots extended from that green light, like hundreds of claws. Some wrapped around Xiao Feng, while others intertwined to form a green long spear, aiming at Xiao Feng.
But the moment the green light appeared, the small swords that had been far away quickly vanished, then rapidly reappeared nearby, severing every root.
The sword's body emanated a profound aura, completely unlike what a Dou Huang could condense.
Could it be that this young man had already stepped into the Dou Zong realm?
In an instant, this thought filled Lü Man's mind, and her face instantly turned pale. This time, she was truly defeated, and she had also dragged Bai Ya into this mess.
At this moment, Xiao Feng's voice rang out again, still as calm, but to their ears, it sounded like sarcasm.
"I don't like to force others. Are you willing to stay by Qing Lin's side and teach her?"
Lü Man could no longer suppress the anger in her heart. "The victor is king, the loser is bandit; there's nothing more to say! Don't think that my Heavenly Serpent Mansion doesn't have Dou Zong! What you're doing is just asking for trouble!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng began to ponder. He realized he had misunderstood earlier. It wasn't Lü Man alone who was searching for the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, but the entire Heavenly Serpent Mansion. What he was doing now seemed to change nothing, and if it really attracted a Dou Zong, it would only be more troublesome.
"How about this: I'll only keep you for half a year. If you truly care about the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, then guide her with peace of mind. After half a year, whether you stay or leave is up to you."
Lü Man frowned, about to say something more, but was interrupted by the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor, "Lü Man, do we have a choice?"
"But..."
"Half a year, isn't that just enough time to build a good relationship with that little girl?"
As the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor said this, Lü Man's eyes immediately lit up. "Good, we agree!"
..."Brother Feng, who is Xiao Linger?"
"Uh, a crazy woman. She's not even half as beautiful as Xun'er, and in terms of gentleness and thoughtfulness, she can't even compare to one ten-thousandth of Xun'er!"
Sitting on the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor's body, Xiao Feng held Xiao Xun Er in his arms, as if they had endless things to talk about.
Qing Lin stood behind Xiao Feng with a calm expression.
Beside her was an old woman who, in Qing Lin's opinion, was quite garrulous.
"Look, your Young Master is a philanderer. He doesn't think about you at all; he just lusts after your body!" Lü Man kept muttering bad things about Xiao Feng.
Qing Lin glanced at Lü Man. "If you keep slandering Young Master, then don't follow me anymore."
The gentle expression Lü Man had forced onto her face instantly stiffened.
The flying Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor, however, let out a burst of laughter. "Lü Man, if those guys saw you looking so crestfallen and cowardly, their eyeballs would pop out, wouldn't they?"
Lü Man, both angry and annoyed, stomped her foot heavily. "Mind your own business and keep flying, you talk too much!"
The three Dou Huang arrived at the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
"Let's go, Xun'er, I'll take you to pet the Lion!"
Xiao Feng took Xiao Xun Er's hand and headed straight for the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
At this moment, the Amethyst Winged Lion King was lying lazily on the mountaintop, basking in the sun. Its blood-red eyes scanned everything it had long grown accustomed to, watching the busy figures in its territory, seemingly repeating yesterday's actions.
How boring!
The Amethyst Winged Lion King thought this, then suddenly shivered inexplicably.
Why did it suddenly get a little cold?
Amidst its confusion, three undisguised Dou Huang auras appeared in its perception.
"Who's there!"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King instantly stood up, looking in the direction where those people appeared.
Soon, a giant serpent and four human figures appeared in its sight.
"It's you!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King recognized Xiao Feng.
"Hi, big Lion, long time no see. Where's that big monkey?" Xiao Feng no longer needed to be cautious.
"That monkey has already been driven out of this area by me. Human, are you here to provoke me too?"
"No, no, no, don't get excited. I just came to pay a visit. Where's your son?"
"Human, if you don't leave now, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Hearing Xiao Feng mention its cub, the Amethyst Winged Lion King had already stepped into the Void Realm. Its body seemed to be burning with purple flames, and the Void Realm trembled incessantly. Its blood-red beast eyes stared fixedly at Xiao Feng, as if ready for a fight to the death!
"I'll leave it to you all."
Xiao Feng pulled Xiao Xun Er and Qing Lin straight towards the cub's dwelling cave, leaving only that sentence hanging in the air.
The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor was very displeased. "This hateful fellow!"
But in order to gain the approval of Xiao Feng or Qing Lin, it had no choice but to compromise.
Lü Man was equally displeased, but her gaze was more focused on the Amethyst Winged Lion King. "Be careful, none of these Dou Huang who grew up in these frontier lands are simple."
Seeing Xiao Feng and the two others heading for its cub, the Amethyst Winged Lion King couldn't care less about anything else and immediately turned to pursue them.
"Get out of the way!"
It roared at the human and serpent blocking its path.
"Why are you roaring? I can too!"
The Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor was equally furious. First, it was suppressed by Xiao Feng, and now it was being scolded by a Lion King. It also had its pride, so it decided to use the Amethyst Winged Lion King as a punching bag. A muffled hiss rolled towards its opponent.
A great battle was on the verge of breaking out!
The three inside the cave didn't care about the collapsing mountains outside, nor did they notice the Demonic Beasts guarding the cave entrance. Guided by Soul Power, the three quickly found the Amethyst Winged Lion King's cub.
At this moment, the Little Fellow was trembling as it looked at the three.
In its perception, the human in the middle was as terrifying as its mother when she was enraged. Where had its mother, who always protected it, gone?
"Cute, isn't it?" Xiao Feng grabbed the Little Lion in his hand. It was covered in scales, so it wasn't comfortable to touch.
Xiao Xun Er looked curious. She had seen many rare and exotic beasts before, but viewing the Little Lion cub from the perspective of a pet was quite interesting.
She took the cub from Xiao Feng's hand, gently stroked it twice, and chided, "You scared it."
Xiao Xun Er patted the cub's head. "Little Fellow, don't be afraid, we won't hurt you."
The Amethyst Winged Lion King's cub could never believe such words. It looked warily at this much weaker human, wondering whether to attack her and then escape, but thinking of the person next to her, it gave up that idea.
"Here, have something to eat."
Xiao Xun Er seemed genuinely fond of the Little Lion cub. With a flick of her hand, she produced a red Medicinal Pill and offered it to its mouth, teasing it.
The Little Lion cub didn't stand on ceremony and swallowed it in one gulp.
Xiao Feng suddenly turned to look outside. "Let's go out, the fight out there is getting a bit fierce."
After the three humans and one lion emerged from the cave, various Dou Qi explosions continued ceaselessly outside. Giant rocks kept rolling down, and the clouds in the sky were shattered.
Seeing both the Amethyst Winged Lion King and the Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor stained with blood, Xiao Feng immediately spoke, "Stop fighting!"
In fact, the three had already sensed Xiao Feng's appearance the moment he arrived. At that point, there was no need to continue fighting, but in the process of their struggle, no one was willing to be the first to withdraw their strength.
When Xiao Feng spoke, the opportune moment appeared, and the three of them retreated from each other.
"Human, I have memorized your aura. Stealing my cub, are you prepared to fight me to the death?"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King's voice was icy, its killing intent reaching its peak.
"Don't be so petty, I'll give it back after I pet it a bit." Xiao Feng floated nonchalantly in front of the Amethyst Winged Lion King. "For the next period, I'll also be staying here. I have no intention of harming the Little Fellow."
Its red beast eyes flickered. The Amethyst Winged Lion King, possessing wisdom comparable to humans, was somewhat puzzled. Looking at its son, held in the other party's arms like a pet, it felt more anger. It slightly shook the sharp horns on its head, "Quickly return my son, or I'll stab you to death!"
"No rush, let's have a round or two."
Xiao Feng beckoned to the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
He had wanted to do this for a long time. Tempering his body with a Tier 6 Demonic Beast was his dream in previous years, and today it was finally realized.
"Arrogant!"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King stepped into the Void Realm and charged directly at Xiao Feng. Because its son was in his hands, it even held back some strength, but it hadn't considered that Xiao Feng wasn't even using Dou Qi. With just one collision, he was sent flying far away.
"Again!"
Xiao Feng's mouth was bleeding, but his face was filled with a happy smile.
Below, Xiao Xun Er's expression faltered as she murmured, "Is Brother Feng's rapid progress all bought with blood...?"
Lü Man and Bai Ya exchanged glances, both seeing shock in the other's eyes.
