Chapter 112: Looking for lotus root?
"and many more!"
Just as Feng Jiutian assumed a fighting stance, the male demon suddenly spoke up.
It was a handsome man with furry ears. After speaking hastily, he quickly showed Feng Jiutian his wounds to indicate that he meant no harm and was just injured and healing.
Feng Jiutian frowned slightly as she looked at the wounds exposed on the male demon's body.
It was a burn-like wound, with even the bones and tendons exposed.
It seemed that the male demon was seriously injured and posed no immediate threat to him, so he stopped bothering him and prepared to continue on his way.
Unexpectedly, a sudden downpour began on the mountain.
"Here, here, there's a cave here where you can take shelter from the rain," the male demon waved to her from a distance.
Feng Jiutian glanced at the male demon with suspicion, even wondering if he was the one behind it!
However, it was indeed inconvenient to travel at this time, so Feng Jiutian had no choice but to stay temporarily and share a cave with the male demon.
Feng Jiutian found a spot in the cave, sat down quietly, expressionless, and ignored the male demon.
The male demon, sitting quietly to the side, was healing himself.
He seemed to sense a special aura emanating from Feng Jiutian, an aura that was both familiar and awe-inspiring.
He was secretly delighted to find that his injuries healed exceptionally quickly when he was by this woman's side. However, he also felt a strange sense of awe and submission towards her.
That felt really strange!
The male demon glanced at Feng Jiutian from time to time, his heart filled with complicated emotions, but he still wanted to stay by the woman's side. Staying by her side seemed to feel quite good.
At least, there's a strange sense of security!
Feng Jiutian could feel the male demon beside her watching her, but she remained unmoved, closing her eyes and resting quietly.
Because she sensed in her heart that the male demon beside her didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards her.
Of course, she wasn't arrogant, because she had the Golden Snake as her backup. If there was any real danger, the Golden Snake would definitely be the first to appear.
Not long after, the rain stopped!
Hearing that there was no rain outside, Feng Jiutian slowly got up, walked out of the cave, and prepared to continue on his way.
Unexpectedly, the male demon also wanted to follow him.
“You…” Feng Jiutian originally wanted to drive him away.
"Wait a minute, girl, let him come along," Xuanji Zi suddenly said.
"Let him come along? Why?" Feng Jiutian frowned slightly, a question lingering in his mind.
"Believe me, this is no ordinary demon. It will definitely be useful later. Besides, it is injured and is no match for us."
Xuanji Zi said seriously, indicating that Feng Jiutian should take him along, since it wouldn't have much of an impact on them anyway.
Helpless, Feng Jiutian said nothing more. She glanced coldly at the male demon and then ignored him, continuing to walk towards Tianshan with the golden snake.
The male demon kept his head down, following behind Feng Jiutian with a respectful demeanor, remaining silent the whole way.
Whether it was because of the male demon or not, Feng Jiutian encountered many mages along the way. After several battles with them, Feng Jiutian quickly discovered that he seemed to be able to imitate the mages' techniques.
Later, he encountered some mages. During the fight, Feng Jiutian tried to use the mages' techniques to deal with them. Unexpectedly, he learned a lot about the mages' techniques during this time.
She was surprised and delighted to find that she could use this technique with ease.
However, Feng Jiutian was unaware of the reason why he was able to master and use the magician's techniques so skillfully.
Only Xuanji Zi knew that it was actually the mark Mo Shaoxie left on Feng Jiutian, along with her cultivation mode.
Feng Jiutian actually possessed a portion of demonic power within her body, but she was unaware of it. It was precisely because of this hidden demonic power within her that she was able to gain the inexplicable awe of these demons.
But for her, there were both advantages and disadvantages. While she gained the benefits of demonic power, once she encountered a demon who cultivated evil, Feng Jiutian became a hot commodity in their eyes.
This is why Xuanji Zi told her that the road ahead would be difficult!
This is how you gain benefits, but also create a lot of trouble.
Along the way, other demons would occasionally try to harm the male demon.
Although Feng Jiutian never said it, she always maintained a distant and aloof demeanor, but whenever other demons attacked, she would lend a helping hand.
The male demon was grateful for Feng Jiutian's protection along the way, thinking that although Feng Jiutian had unintentionally destroyed the barrier, it was equivalent to saving his life.
At the same time, the male demon also planned to stay by her side to repay her kindness.
Although Feng Jiutian and the male demon didn't exchange a single word along the way, there seemed to be a special tacit understanding between them. Whether they encountered attacks from demons or sorcerers, they were able to cooperate seamlessly and defeat them with their moves.
The male demon never dared to look directly at Feng Jiutian, not because Feng Jiutian always had a cold demeanor, but because he could increasingly sense the demonic aura emanating from the woman before him, which involuntarily aroused his awe and submission.
After many twists and turns, Feng Jiutian and his group finally arrived at Tianshan.
Unfortunately, the Tianshan Mountains are simply too vast, and finding a thousand-year-old lotus root in a normal way is no easy task.
At this moment, Xuanji Zi told Feng Jiutian that it was time to send that male demon out!
"Him?" Feng Jiutian looked bewildered and disbelieving.
Humans and demons are different. Although Feng Jiutian does not discriminate against demons, she is very unhappy that the male demon brought her trouble on his very first appearance.
Moreover.
She had noticed the male demon's weakness.
What can he do?
“Yes, that’s right,” Xuanji Zi said affirmatively.
Although Feng Jiutian was puzzled, he listened to what Xuanjizi said and then turned to the male demon and asked him to help find the thousand-year-old lotus root.
"A thousand-year-old lotus root? You're looking for a thousand-year-old lotus root?" The male demon was clearly taken aback.
"Hmm! Can we find it?" Feng Jiutian asked.
The male demon stood silently to the side, lost in thought.
It turns out that this male demon was actually a snow fox cultivating in the Tianshan Mountains.
He had willingly submitted to her, and besides, Feng Jiutian had been kind to him, so the male demon decided to help her.
“Okay, I’ll help you,” the male demon suddenly said, looking up.
Having already decided to help Feng Jiutian, the male demon continued, "But this thousand-year lotus root has been cultivating into human form for hundreds of years. It can usually transform into human form, roughly the appearance of a young boy. Its whereabouts are unpredictable, so it will probably be quite difficult for us to find it."
Upon hearing what the male demon said, Feng Jiutian couldn't help but frown.
Although Xuanji Zi had long suspected that the thousand-year-old lotus root had become a spirit, she was still somewhat surprised to hear the confirmed news!
