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

When the Seventh Prince saw Feng Jiutian staring at him, he thought there was something on his face. He touched his face with his hand and then realized that Feng Jiutian had already looked away. Helplessly, he put his hand down.

Without wasting any more time, the group set off for the Royal Academy.

The Royal Academy is located atop the Cloud Chaser, situated in the relatively secluded north of the Royal Palace. It covers tens of thousands of acres, spanning several mountains, making it extremely vast.

Being able to build an academy in such a place is quite a feat.

Although the academy is very well protected, there is no danger.

However, because the journey was fraught with danger, the emperor arranged for so many skilled people to escort them, some of whom were even secret guards.

This clearly demonstrates the high level of danger along the way.

Upon arriving at Zhuyun, the group decided to forgo walking. The academy was located atop Zhuyun, and to reach it, they needed flying magical pets as their mode of transportation.

This was the first time Feng Jiutian had ever seen a demonic pet.

The beasts before them had lost all their bestial instincts, showing only pure submission. However, they also lacked any spiritual energy, simply obeying their master's every word. Whatever their master said, they would do.

Is this what a tamed magical pet looks like?

Feng Jiutian watched silently, without much emotional fluctuation.

However, this reminded her of the golden snake.

As expected, there is a big difference between contracted magical beasts and tamed magical pets!

It's a real shame that tamed magical pets have had their magical beast resilience and spiritual energy completely extinguished.

But after all, it's someone else's magical pet.

Feng Jiutian glanced at it and said nothing.

He randomly picked a roc and set off.

The scene before us was truly breathtaking.

At the summit of Zhuyun, surrounded by clouds for miles, with towering mountains and perilous terrain all around, the lower reaches are nowhere in sight.

The magical pet flew straight upwards, passing through layer after layer of clouds.

Just looking around, it was already a desperate situation, both tragic and heroic.

Feng Jiutian gazed intently, experiencing for the first time the wondrous grandeur of this world.

Such a state of mind is something that only a person with a magnanimous spirit could not possibly imagine.

This Royal Academy truly deserves to be called the best of all academies.

Having developed over hundreds of years, the Royal Academy naturally possesses a formidable foundation.

A few people stood scattered at the entrance, testing everything. The adults watched cautiously, their faces showing both pride and trepidation.

Occasionally, some people are deemed unqualified by their mentors and lose their eligibility, returning home with their parents.

Feng Jiutian watched in silence.

These people were not commoners; in fact, it could be said that any one of them would be an aristocrat.

If one were an ordinary person, only those with extraordinary talent could get to this place.

However, these nobles were filled with anxiety and pleading, all for the sake of their children being able to enter this place to cultivate.

This is enough to demonstrate the influence of the academy.

However, she and the Seventh Prince did not queue like them; there were already people waiting at the entrance.

After exchanging brief greetings, Feng Jiutian pushed the Seventh Prince into the academy.

There was no one at the door.

The escorts had already arrived at the dormitory to wait for them to avoid suspicion, leaving only the Seventh Prince and Feng Jiutian standing there, surrounded by wisps of clouds.

Without a mentor, they cannot enter the academy; passing through the barrier at the academy's entrance requires the mentor's guidance.

Feng Jiutian pursed her lips.

"Don't worry, something must have been holding you up."

The Seventh Prince carefully comforted her, as if afraid that Feng Jiutian would feel uncomfortable.

Feng Jiutian paused in pushing the Seventh Prince.

She inexplicably thought of that effeminate man, but the difference was that he was dignified yet strangely reassuring.

Feng Jiutian shook his head, forcing himself to clear his mind.

How could I possibly think of that effeminate man? I bet he's probably wandering off somewhere now.

Seeing that Feng Jiutian didn't speak, the Seventh Prince also remained silent.

After an unknown amount of time, no one came over. A few people passed by in the distance, pointing and staring at them, clearly regarding them as overconfident.

Feng Jiutian stood quietly, his back ramrod straight, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

We're not on the same path, so why argue?

Feng Jiutian smiled mockingly, but he understood somewhat.

This is probably the test...

Before long, a human figure slowly walked through the clouds and mist, approaching this side with a leisurely and refined demeanor.

"Seventh Prince, I'm late."

The newcomer chuckled and bowed slightly to the seventh prince in his wheelchair.

The seventh prince waved his hand.

"It's alright, please lead us in."

Although the words were peaceful, from an angle that Feng Jiutian couldn't see, the Seventh Prince's gaze was calm yet sharp.

Yun was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, the disdain in his eyes fading and replaced by respect.

Those who can attend the Royal Academy are all extremely proud people. Although Yun is not particularly arrogant, she is still extremely aloof at heart.

I'd always heard that the Seventh Prince was a good-for-nothing, but now it seems that's not the case.

At least this kind of mentality is something no useless person should have.

"My name is Yun, and I will be your mentor from now on." Yun bowed slightly, her voice clear and gentle.

Feng Jiutian glanced sideways.

The person in front of him seemed to be a sickly man, with an appearance untouched by worldly affairs, but he showed no signs of strength whatsoever.

On the contrary, it gives a feeling of returning to simplicity.

So these are the tutors from the Royal Academy?

However, Feng Jiutian clearly saw the disdain on Yun's face.

Indeed, he and the Seventh Prince were sent here midway through their studies, and their reputations as good-for-nothings were known throughout the land; probably no one was unaware of their fame.

It seems that this mentor also had this idea.

In that case, this person is unreliable.

Those who hold even the slightest disdain for you will not do their best to help you.

From now on, I really can only rely on myself.

Feng Jiutian thought to himself.

Once they were taken to the college dormitory, the guards made all the necessary arrangements, and then they took their leave.

Watching their departing figures, Feng Jiutian couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.

……

The next day, news that Feng Jiutian and the Seventh Prince were escorting students spread like wildfire, and everyone was talking about the arrival of two "special personnel" at the school.

Indeed, everyone in this academy undergoes rigorous training and is selected through multiple rounds of screening to enter; they are all highly capable students.

Even those who have just enrolled are specially recruited students with exceptional talents.

Unlike the two of them, one was a crippled seventh prince, and the other was Feng Jiutian, whose martial arts skills were not very high. She was also a woman and looked like she had just started cultivating.

This combination looks weak no matter how you look at it.

Why? Why were they allowed into the Royal Academy?

Rumors spread like wildfire, all saying that the two of them weren't very capable and got in through connections.

Even when Feng Jiutian walks down the street, some people point and whisper about her.
