Chapter 271: Chapter 271: Nine Demon Island_1
Qin Feng, feeling that he had been tricked, began to silently recite the "Mantra of Tranquility."
At last, he finally escaped the jibber-jabber and the summoning of the White-Haired Rat Demon.
Princess Huahua continued to lead the two of them forward and they eventually entered into the inner sanctum.
In the inner sanctum, there was an eight-trigram diagram with a Yin-Yang Fish in the center, where a dirty, worn gourd was placed, yet it was emitting a golden light.
Qin Feng pointed at the battered gourd and asked, "Is that the Old Lord Gourd?"
"Yes."
"Just sitting there like that, can’t anyone easily take it away?"
"You can try to take it if you want."
Princess Huahua was setting a trap for Qin Feng, hoping he would jump into it.
"Hua, are you trying to trap me?"
"If you think I’m trapping you, you don’t have to take it! After all, the hands are yours, not mine.
Besides, I am giving you the Old Lord Gourd as a gift. Whether you take it or not, I have already offered it to you.
If you can’t get the Old Lord Gourd, you won’t be able to leave the Spirit Realm, and both you and your wife will die here.
Taixu Guan is easy to enter but hard to leave. After all, the top ten deadly places in the Spirit Realm aren’t just bragging."
Having said that, Princess Huahua fluttered her wings and flew over, circling above the Old Lord Gourd.
Qin Feng didn’t quite understand Princess Huahua and didn’t know what the crafty bird was plotting.
But, intuition told Qin Feng that the Old Lord Gourd was indeed a treasure, one of the top ten magical instruments in the Immortal Realm, and he truly desired to have it.
After some contemplation, Qin Feng made a decision.
He walked towards the Old Lord Gourd with careful steps.
As he approached, he felt the powerful aura emitted by the Old Lord Gourd.
Qin Feng couldn’t help but reach out his hand, wanting to grab the Old Lord Gourd.
However, as his fingertips barely touched the gourd, a powerful stream of air blasted out from the mouth of the gourd, sucking him right in.
Qin Feng, who got sucked into the gourd, found himself on a deserted island, surrounded by sea water, endless at sight.
Outside.
Seeing Qin Feng get sucked into the Old Lord Gourd, Xue Xiaochan was extremely worried.
"Hua, what’s going on? Where is Qin Feng?"
"He went inside the Old Lord Gourd! You can join him if you want. Of course, you don’t have to. If you want to go in and find him, just touch the Old Lord Gourd," said Princess Huahua.
Without hesitation, Xue Xiaochan reached out her hand, ready to touch the Old Lord Gourd.
"Be sure you’ve thought this through. Once you touch it and go inside, you might never be able to come out," warned Princess Huahua.
"Wherever Qin Feng is, that’s where I’ll be," declared Xue Xiaochan.
She promptly touched the gourd.
"Whoosh!"
She was also sucked into the Old Lord Gourd, landing on the deserted island and crashing into Qin Feng’s arms, causing him to tumble backward.
At that moment, their position was quite sight.
Qin Feng lay on the ground with Xue Xiaochan on top of him; what was meant to be a child’s nourishment was pressed softly against Qin Feng’s face and mouth, nearly smothering him.
Qin Feng, unable to breathe, quickly pushed the woman away and complained, "Are you trying to smother me to death?"
"I come to rescue you and this is the thanks I get?" retorted Xue Xiaochan, grinding her teeth in anger as she grabbed Qin Feng’s head and covered it tightly.
"I’ll smother you to death!"
Facing such an attack from this woman, what could Qin Feng do?
His natural response was to use his little mouth to strike back!
Feeling that something wasn’t right, Xue Xiaochan hurriedly pushed the guy away and asked, blushing, "What were you just doing?"
"Being a gentleman!"
"A gentleman?"
"Gentlemen use their mouths, not their hands," Qin Feng answered seriously.
"You... you really are a little bastard!" Xue Xiaochan gently punched Qin Feng and then asked, "Where are we?"
"How would I know?"
Qin Feng indeed didn’t know, but he was certain that Princess Huahua was outside and could definitely hear what he was saying.
So, Qin Feng raised his voice and called out, "Hua, where the heck is this?"
"The place you two are in is Nine Demon Island, where nine awesome demons live. To get off Nine Demon Island, you must subdue those nine demons.
This is the test you must endure to obtain the Old Lord Gourd!"
Over the past thousands of years, many have desired the Old Lord Gourd, and many have entered Nine Demon Island. However, to this day, no one has successfully subdued all nine demons."
"No one subdued the nine demons? What happened to those people?" Qin Feng asked.
"Once you’re on Nine Demon Island, if you can’t subdue the nine demons, naturally, you’ll die at their hands! So, all those people are gone."
"Damn bird, are you deliberately trapping me? You want me to die at the hands of the demons?"
"You are the extraordinary Heaven Yang Physique, and your wife is the extraordinary Heaven Yin Physique. Your bodies are highly coveted by those nine demons.
For them, you two are like Tang Monk’s flesh.
Just by eating a piece of your flesh, they could possibly transform from demons into immortals. Even if they only drank a sip of the broth, their magical powers would increase manifold.
So, now that you’re on Nine Demon Island, you’ve got no way back. If you want to survive, you must use every trick in the book, unleash all your potential, and bring those nine demons to heel!"
"Once we’ve subdued those nine demons, then what?"
"As long as you’ve subdued them, you’ll be their master. From then on, the nine demons will be your subordinates, and they’ll have to do whatever you command them to.
Oh, and there’s an old saying that I should probably tell you about.
With the nine demons in hand, the world is mine!
Let me remind you one more thing, after subduing the nine demons, you two can leave the Old Lord Gourd.
The protector of the Old Lord Gourd is not Taoist Wuxin, but the nine demons of Nine Demon Island.
Even Taoist Wuxin couldn’t subdue the nine demons.
He sneaked into Nine Demon Island several times and got beaten up so badly every time that he had to flee in a sorry state."
"So what you’re saying is, if we can’t subdue the nine demons, we can still get out?" Qin Feng asked.
"Taoist Wuxin can, but you can’t. Because you have the Heaven Yang Physique, and your wife the Heaven Yin Physique."
After saying this, Princess Huahua fell silent again.
Qin Feng yelled until his throat was sore, but received no response.
Xue Xiaochan gave Qin Feng a glare and said with annoyance, "It’s all your fault!"
"How is it my fault?"
"If you hadn’t insisted on entering Taixu Guan, hadn’t insisted on touching the Old Lord Gourd, would we have ended up on Nine Demon Island?"
"What’s so bad about Nine Demon Island? I think it’s got beautiful scenery, fresh air, pretty nice actually! How about we just never leave and stay here for life, have a nest of kiddos?"
"Scram! Who’s going to have a nest of kiddos for you? One of you is enough hassle for me, a whole nestful would drive me to death?"
