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

"If you want to become stronger, there is only one path you can take. Staying in the Prime Minister's mansion any longer will only slow down your progress and cause you to stagnate."

"Little wildcat, if you want to improve your strength as soon as possible, the only way is to go to the Royal Academy. The Royal Academy has accumulated a wealth of knowledge over the years, and in its library, there is a fragmented manual for cultivating your Contract Master skills. It should be useful to you."

Mo Shaoxie said with a half-smile, watching as Feng Jiutian's expression gradually turned ugly.

Feng Jiutian looked at Mo Shaoxie with a sharp and surprised expression, her heart sinking heavily.

This man actually knows what she cultivates.

From the moment he obtained the manual and began cultivating until he formed a contract with the golden snake, Feng Jiutian was absolutely certain that there was no one around. Therefore, it was impossible for him to have been spied on and found out. Even if his strength was not great, he couldn't have been completely unaware.

Moreover, Xuanji Zi said that no one in this world has ever cultivated the Contract Master!

How did this man know?

A sudden surge of murderous intent welled up within Feng Jiutian. He narrowed his eyes and coldly stared at Mo Shaoxie.

"How did you know?"

Mo Shao smiled wickedly, seemingly unconcerned about Feng Jiutian's question.

"Want to know? Then wait until you improve your strength and come find me. I will definitely tell you then."

With that casual remark, Mo Shaoxie vanished from the spot.

Feng Jiutian looked around at the deserted environment and fell silent.

This wasn't the first time she had so directly suspected Mo Shaoxie.

Who is this man?

Feng Jiutian had a very strange feeling about Mo Shaoxie.

He seemed to know everything about the world, yet he was also very mysterious.

He is clearly very powerful, but it seems like he is hiding something.

Feng Jiutian shook her head to clear her mind and stop thinking about these things.

She has just become a novice alchemist, and her spiritual power has also advanced.

Perhaps, I really should try my luck at that Royal Academy.

The incomplete manual of the Contract Master...

No matter what, she would never give up any means that could make her stronger.

Although she didn't know why Mo Shaoxie would tell her this so easily, she couldn't figure out his purpose for a while.

But Feng Jiutian knew that her time was running out.

She had already started cultivating a few years later than others, so she could only work even harder to avoid being trampled underfoot by others.

"Royal Academy..."

Feng Jiutian chuckled softly, already having made up his mind.

Feng Jiutian sensed the spiritual power within her body that had advanced. Although the changes were not significant, the light was stronger than before, and the density of the spiritual power was becoming more and more obvious.

"Old man, is it really true that no one cultivates that contract master profession?"

Feng Jiutian asked himself silently.

A fog of confusion enveloped her mind, making her somewhat uneasy.

Mo Shaoxie's words made her extremely uneasy.

It's like having your biggest trump card easily revealed to others; it just makes you feel uncomfortable.

Xuanji Zi remained silent for a long time before firmly saying, "There is absolutely no one else on this continent who cultivates; so far, it's only you."

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiutian couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

In the end, I simply stopped thinking about it.

Feng Jiutian was more interested in the incomplete manuscript that Mo Shaoxie had mentioned.

Although his cultivation has only just begun, Feng Jiutian has a vague feeling that the book he has in his hand is also an incomplete one.

"Since that's useful to us, let's go take a look."

Xuanji Zi suggested.

He didn't know much about contract masters either, and he could only learn everything slowly through trial and error.

Feng Jiutian nodded.

No matter the cost, she is determined to obtain that incomplete copy; if it is the same copy as the one she already has, that would be the best outcome.

"However, the Royal Academy is not so easy to get into."

Xuanji Zi said hesitantly.

"To get into the Royal Academy, you need a guaranteed admission spot from the Royal Family."

Feng Jiutian pursed her lips, and suddenly a person came to mind.

Fengxuan.

She was the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family. What did the Prime Minister's family do on a daily basis? They were responsible for serving the Emperor, so they must have had a good relationship with the royal family.

Since that's the case, why not make good use of it?

Thinking this, Feng Jiutian hurriedly returned to the Prime Minister's residence.

Upon returning to the Prime Minister's residence, Feng Jiutian went straight to Feng Xuan's room.

Feng Xuan was tending to the flowers and plants when he heard Feng Jiutian's question, and he almost knocked the flowerpot to the ground.

"You want to go to the Royal Academy?"

Feng Xuan asked incredulously, looking at Feng Jiutian with a helpless expression in his eyes.

"The Royal Academy is not easy to get into, and it's full of geniuses with terrible tempers. Going there is just torture."

It must be said that the Royal Academy does indeed have excellent resources.

However, in Feng Xuan's view, Feng Jiutian has obviously only just begun cultivating, and if he were to enter the Royal Academy, he would only be asking for trouble.

After all, there are countless experts there, all of whom are proud and arrogant. Going there would only wear down their edges, and Feng Xuan did not want Feng Jiutian to go there and suffer setbacks for nothing.

"Correct."

Feng Jiutian looked at Feng Xuan with unwavering determination, her eyes steadfast.

She knew why Feng Xuan hesitated, but she wouldn't be afraid because of such a small setback.

Feng Xuan paused for a moment: "The Royal Academy is the most elite academy for mages and martial artists in the Divine Kingdom. Generally, those who enter that academy need to be specially selected by its instructors, or they are recommended by the royal family. But..."

Feng Xuan looked at Feng Jiutian with some apology.

"However, the Prime Minister's Office has already used up all its guaranteed admission slots. If you want to get in, you'll have to wait until next year's admissions."

Feng Jiutian remained silent for a while, then frowned slightly.

This was something she hadn't expected.

After leaving the West Garden, Feng Jiutian sat quietly in his room, unsure of what to do next.

If there are no guaranteed admission slots at the Royal Academy, I can't get in. Do I really have to wait until next year?

Feng Jiutian wasn't sure if she had the patience to wait.

Moreover, a little time is enough for her to get so much done.

Or, we could steal it...

The moment Feng Jiutian had that thought, Xuanji Zi quickly rebuked him, "Don't even think about it."

Xuanji Zi said somewhat angrily, "The Royal Academy was established by the royal family to recruit geniuses. There are countless experts inside that you can't even imagine. Even I had to follow the rules when I went there. You still want to steal? I'm afraid you'll be killed before you even get into the academy."

Xuanji Zi's tone was extremely intense as she tried her best to suppress Feng Jiutian's thoughts.

His reaction left Feng Jiutian silent.

Xuanji Zi's reaction already demonstrated the power of the Royal Academy, but she couldn't wait a year.

While Feng Jiutian was troubled, the emperor was also uneasy.
