The only thing she knew was her name, Feng Jiu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for anything else, she knew nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fang glanced at Feng Jiu’s little face, sighing softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a bonfire appeared in the woods, its fierce flames quietly engulfing a skinned tiger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the roasting fire, the tiger emitted a rich aroma that made one’s mouth water just by smelling it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fang also intermittently sprinkled seasonings on the meat, enhancing the flavor even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Lin Fang had long been able to practice fasting, his innate gluttony still influenced him to continue his old beliefs, and these seasonings were meticulously selected after trying many plants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Jiu gazed obsessively at the now golden-brown tiger meat, drool already dripping from the corners of her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, she stretched out her little hand, reaching for the roasted meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fang hastily shouted, \"Be careful with the fire!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the fire was ordinary, Lin Fang, this lazy fellow, had used Divine Skills to start it, thus it carried a hint of the Samadhi True Fire, making it much more formidable than usual flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, to everyone’s surprise, Feng Jiu’s small hand slowly passed through the flames, tore off a large chunk of golden roasted meat, and hurriedly stuffed it into her mouth, soon revealing a blissful expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fang rushed to her side and closely examined her hand, only to find it still soft and tender, without any trace of burns, as if his fire was merely an illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aren’t you afraid of the fire?\" Lin Fang curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl shook her head and smiled as she stretched her hand back into the flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fierce blaze enveloped her small hand instantly, but there was not a hint of pain on the girl’s face; instead, she seemed to thoroughly enjoy it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fang could feel that the energy of the fire was dissipating, no, more accurately, it was being absorbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at Feng Jiu in amazement, always feeling that this little girl’s identity was certainly not simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing the meal, Lin Fang, accompanied by Feng Jiu, set off again, this time their destination was the upcoming Nine Tails City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After crossing high mountains and traversing rivers, a majestic city came into view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the previous cities, this one, named Nine Tails City, more closely matched the image Lin Fang had of a city in his mind, with its strictly square and towering walls protecting everyone inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the city were scattered some Demon Clan villages, and countless monsters were lining up in long queues, slowly walking towards the city gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the gate, a team of monsters guarded the entrance, clad in armor and wielding sharp blades, their sturdy bodies exuding a ferocious aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fang, with Feng Jiu in tow, mingled among the crowd and slowly walked towards the city center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a well-known city in Luzhou in the North, Nine Tails City had a notorious reputation because it was the most famous den of crime in the continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of this, the Heavenly Army always turned a blind eye when passing by, after all, a Star Lord from above might be mingling among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Utilizing the chaotic nature of the continent, they could better conceal themselves and wield power in this area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even many Heavenly Soldiers and Generals would disguise themselves and come here to seek pleasure, which over time, helped the city stand firmly for many years in Luzhou in the North, truly a miracle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within this crowd, Lin Fang detected several strange auras; most likely, some people from the Heavenly Court were among them, ready to thoroughly enjoy themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After paying the entrance fee, Lin Fang holding Feng Jiu’s hand, slowly entered through the gate, and what met their eyes was a scene of brilliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shops lined both sides of the streets. In Luzhou in the North, which seemed still in a primitive era, this was indeed a miracle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prosperous sight starkly contrasted with the desolation outside, the air was filled with a rich aroma, and not far away was a tall pavilion, lavishly decorated with beautiful, flowering silk. Several alluring Female Demons on top were striking poses and waving handkerchiefs to greet visitors from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having retained some characteristics of the Demon Clan, these Female Demons were full of exotic charm, no wonder the ostensibly virtuous Immortals from the Heavenly Court would choose to linger here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It really is a false prosperity!\" Lin Fang gazed at the bustling scene and could not help but exclaim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps some might be blinded by the prosperity before them, but Lin Fang was acutely aware that this boom was only made possible with the tacit approval of the Heavenly Court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They needed a place for venting desires and a place to corrupt the souls of the Demon Clan, thus they chose to overlook this infamous den of crime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In turn, this bred countless darkness in the land, for it is in the nature of beings to pursue desires, which naturally leads to transactions, killings, and hatred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And all this only brings deeper chaos to the land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fang thought to himself that the person who devised such schemes must be no ordinary individual. The battle at the Demon Court broke the backbone of the Demon Clan, the existence of Nine Tails City corrupted their souls, and the widespread human flesh faith fomented hatred towards the Human Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>",1215,"2026-06-05T19:13:35.781Z",1,"novelbin.me","314b32cf2364ccbd53f40f92360a3b622549ba122696002f0c906476212458ba","this-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-chapter-189","this-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-chapter-187",578,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-cover.jpg"]
