A Useless Person's Rise to Power: The Demon King's Addiction to Pampering

Looking at Liu Hai, who had the personality of a complete brat, Feng Jiutian really doubted his identity as the so-called divine doctor of the river region.

This boy looks to be around fifteen or sixteen years old, but he doesn't look it at all!

But in reality, Liu Hai is already eighteen years old. He just looks a bit young. Coupled with his overly enthusiastic and lively personality, he looks like he is only about fifteen or sixteen years old!

“He can’t be. He’s been famous in the region for a long time. He was already there when I was at my peak. Now, he’s at least an old man over fifty. This boy is too young. The age doesn’t match up at all,” Xuanjizi said skeptically. He still couldn’t believe Liu Hai’s age.

Uncle Liu patted Liu Hai's head and said with a smile, "Little girl, I know you don't believe me. It's true that Liu Hai isn't the real doctor, but speaking of which, he really is from Liu Yu."

Feng Jiutian frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.

"Actually, Liuyu is a family that is renowned for its medical skills. Almost every generation of its descendants is extremely skilled in medicine, with their medical expertise being unmatched in the world. Moreover, these people have one quirk: when they travel, they all use the alias Liuyu. You should know that he is Liuhai's grandfather. And Liuhai is the sole heir of Liuyu. I am Liuhai's personal bodyguard, specifically there to protect his safety and ensure the normal continuation of this family."

Feng Jiutian remained indifferent, but inwardly he was somewhat surprised.

Unexpectedly, that talkative and clingy boy actually turned out to be a 'divine doctor'.

“Sister Jiutian, now that you’re here, why don’t you come to my house and rest for a while? Just tell me what you need, and I’ll do whatever you want!” Liu Hai said with a grin, patting his chest.

This time, Feng Jiutian didn't refuse. "Okay."

Anyway, her purpose this time was to find the Divine Healer Liu Yu.

Since he is indeed a divine physician, there is naturally no reason to refuse his invitation!

But what does this brat mean by holding her hand?

When Feng Jiutian felt Liu Hai grasp her wrist, she frowned and instinctively tried to shake him off.

Liu Hai held Feng Jiutian's wrist, her slender wrist nestled in his palm, her snow-white skin forming a striking contrast with his.

The smooth, soft touch made him reflexively release Feng Jiutian, his handsome face turning bright red.

Feng Jiutian frowned as she glanced at Liu Hai!

Uncle Liu smiled knowingly and stepped forward to lead the way: "Little girl, follow me. Be careful with every step you take. There's an array barrier in here. You might get hurt if you're not careful."

Feng Jiutian regained her composure and focused intently on Uncle Liu's steps, following closely behind.

Liu Hai stared at his palm, his face blank with surprise.

The blush on his face lingered, and the more he thought about it, the more the warm and comfortable sensation kept appearing in his mind.

Just as the two were about to walk away, he came to his senses, clenched his fists tightly, grasped the warmth in his palms, and followed after them.

Looking at the houses before him, Feng Jiutian couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of this world.

Once she was inside, she realized that the small village was not far from where she had just been standing.

However, his spiritual power could not detect the existence of this place at all.

Is this the magic of the barrier?

Moreover, looking out from the barrier, one can see what's happening outside, but those outside can't see anything happening here.

That's undeniably impressive.

"Sister Jiutian, I rushed over to you as soon as I saw you. See how good I am to you?" Liu Hai approached Feng Jiutian as soon as he came in, looking at her with a grin.

Feng Jiutian glanced at Liu Hai and asked casually, "Why is your face so red?"

Liu Hai paused slightly, then forced a smile: "It's probably because I was running a little too fast just now."

Feng Jiutian raised an eyebrow, but didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he turned around and looked at the village behind him.

The village is small; at a glance, there seem to be only a few houses.

But they seem to be living a very comfortable life.

Every household had some medicinal herbs drying in front of their doors, all of which were precious herbs. Some households also had several animal hides hanging in front of their doors.

A very comfortable rural life.

only……

"Since you have such skills, why don't you go out and make your way in the world, instead of staying here?" Feng Jiutian asked in confusion.

This was something she hadn't understood from the beginning.

Those with great talent are renowned in the martial arts world. While not everyone knows them, they travel far and wide, using their skills to make a difference.

But Liu Hai, despite being young and at the age when he could be most likely to venture out and make a name for himself, chooses to live a comfortable life here.

This is the most jarring.

Liu Hai was taken aback, not expecting Feng Jiutian to ask such a question.

He lowered his head and pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "Sister Jiutian, perhaps you think I have no ambition. In truth, I only want to protect these people and pass on the family's medical skills. I don't want any fame or fortune. I just want to practice medicine and save lives."

Back then, my grandfather was a highly skilled doctor who ventured out into the world, but little did he know that he would bring about the annihilation of our family. After my grandfather died, my father devoted himself to teaching me, but his health was severely damaged in that great battle, and he soon passed away as well.

Liu Hai's expression was indifferent, as if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

Feng Jiutian was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help but say apologetically, "I'm sorry..."

Liu Hai waved his hand, his face full of smiles, but there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.

"Sister Jiutian, you've come to find us. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Feng Jiutian pursed her lips.

Although she shouldn't speak, she didn't have much time and couldn't waste it here.

"Time is of the essence, so I'll just give you a brief explanation. Someone important to me is seriously injured, and the doctors can't cure her. I heard that the medical skills in this region are excellent, so I came here to seek help. Before I left, I only gave her a life-extending pill, and I only have three days. I never expected to find you... I want to ask you to help me save her! Consider it as me owing you my life."

Feng Jiutian stared directly at Liu Hai, a rare hint of pleading in his eyes.

Liu Hai quickly said, "I'll definitely help with something this simple, otherwise all my medical skills would be wasted. You wait here, I'll go pack my bags now."

As soon as Liu Hai left, Uncle Liu came over.

"Young lady, I'm afraid bangs cannot help cure your friend. I'm sorry, but I cannot agree."

Feng Jiutian raised her eyes and looked at Uncle Liu with some disbelief.

This uncle has always had a good temper and is kind. He seems to object to nothing as long as it doesn't endanger Liu Hai's safety.

Unexpectedly, he rejected her so directly.

She had anticipated that there would be many obstacles and situations, but she never expected that the obstacle would be him.
