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

The snow fox squeaked, expressing its willingness.

Anyway, it has always followed Feng Jiutian, so forming a contract will actually make things more convenient. It won't have to follow her all the time, and it will be able to sense Feng Jiutian's danger immediately.

Feng Jiutian hesitated for a moment before nodding.

She wasn't a pretentious person, and since Snow Fox had already said so, she wouldn't stop him.

But she never forgot that kindness.

The snow fox leaped into the contract array, allowing it to devour it without any resistance.

Because there was no resistance, the whole process went exceptionally smoothly, far more uneventfully than when they made a contract with the golden snake.

However, what neither the human nor the fox knew was that as the light of the contract array intensified, a powerful demonic force was instantly released.

However, before anyone could perceive this demonic power, it had already vanished.

A powerful spiritual force enveloped the demonic power, forcefully devouring it and taking it for its own use.

The seventh prince, seated in his wheelchair, withdrew his outstretched hand and smiled slightly.

It seems his woman has finally seen the light.

Given that, how could he bear to let her get into trouble?

Once this demonic power is released, the academy will immediately become alert and might do something, which is not what the Seventh Prince wants to see.

A hint of doting crossed the Seventh Prince's eyes as he silently pushed the wheelchair down the mountain.

Meanwhile, down the mountain, news that the Shaoge Auction House was about to auction off elixirs spread throughout the entire city, even alarming the Royal Academy.

Moreover, they heard that the pills this time were not just ordinary intermediate-grade pills; some of them had names and effects they had never even heard of before.

In an instant, countless families began to try every means to expand their economy in order to acquire one or two rare elixirs.

Ordinary pills are already incredibly rare and expensive, so these rare and special pills are even more pricey.

The clever family then began searching for the alchemist behind it all.

I just didn't expect that Shaoge Auction House did such a good job of keeping secrets. No one was willing to say who that person was, not even with money.

The commotion grew louder and louder, eventually attracting the attention of the people in the imperial city.

The emperor frowned deeply as he listened to the news from his secret guards.

Blood-clotting pills are common, but I've never heard of any other kind of pills, like the "power pill" or "blood-replenishing pill."

Royal family is royal family after all; they have many alchemists under their command, but looking around, not a single one of them knew about it. It was as if this wasn't a pill at all.

But the commotion has already reached such a big point that if it's fake, the auction house will only suffer losses.

The emperor frowned slightly, looked at Feng Xiangyu who followed him in, and said in a deep voice, "My dear minister, go and investigate who that alchemist is. Also, prepare enough gold and silver, and bring back as many pills as possible."

Feng Xiangyu's eyes darkened, and he bowed slightly, saying, "Your Majesty, I have already sent people to search, but so far there has been no news."

"The person behind Shaoge Auction House is mysterious and unpredictable. Even the steward I've been in contact with has never seen his true form. I sent my men to follow him, but unfortunately, we haven't found anything."

Feng Xiangyu said with some annoyance, looking pained at being unable to share his ruler's burdens.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a person walked slowly over from the side.

The Imperial Advisor walked slowly in, dressed in black, with only his eyes visible through the mask on his face, making him look extremely terrifying.

Feng Xiangyu paused, wondering what the Imperial Advisor had come for.

For some reason, Feng Xiangyu had no good feelings towards this national advisor; there was always a sinister feeling about him.

The Imperial Advisor ignored Feng Xiangyu and bowed respectfully to the Emperor: "Your Majesty, I have recently detected an evil aura, and its direction seems to be the opposite of the auction house."

Upon hearing this, the emperor paused, his face instantly darkening: "You mean, there's something fishy about that Shaoge Auction House?"

The Imperial Advisor nodded, looking quite confident.

The emperor stroked his chin and suddenly asked, "Minister Feng, according to you, the Shaoge Auction House is so mysterious that we can't even find out who's behind it?"

Feng Xiangyu nodded.

The emperor sneered, "I was unaware that such a mysterious organization existed beneath my land. I have An San investigate it thoroughly."

Imperial authority cannot be challenged, and the emperor's words clearly showed that he was furious.

Feng Xiangyu was secretly alarmed, lowered his gaze, and said nothing more.

It should be noted that An San is a veteran figure in the palace, and also a high-level mage and a semi-martial artist.

Having served the emperor for so many years, his prestige has even surpassed that of some ministers. Now that the emperor has sent him to investigate, if there is any disturbance, the Shaoge Auction House may cease to exist.

However, this is none of his business.

Not far away, An San received the order and quietly disappeared.

……

A day passed, and suddenly a person appeared at the back door of Shaoge Auction House. He was dressed in very ordinary clothes and looked somewhat disheveled because he had traveled a long way.

The sweeper gave him a strange look: "What are you doing here? You're not allowed in here. If you want to auction items, the main gate is not far from here."

An San nodded and turned to leave.

Although the person sweeping the floor was puzzled, he didn't say anything after seeing An San leave. He continued sweeping his floor and left after finishing.

The next second, a figure silently slipped in.

The Shaoge Auction House was also very magnificent. Because it was an auction house, it was very large and could not be seen at a glance. The winding paths made An San twitch his lips and look helpless.

With so many houses, how long would it take him to find them?

Suddenly, An San's eyes flashed with malice, and his figure vanished abruptly.

A man strode over from a short distance away and instructed his subordinate, "Go and check the area. Make sure it's 100% safe. With the auction approaching, it's hard to guarantee that no one will have any designs on it. Make sure nothing goes wrong these next few days."

An San's eyes narrowed slightly, and taking advantage of the moment when the people below were not paying attention, he disappeared from the spot in a few breaths.

Around the corner, there was a room with its doors and windows tightly shut, and the room was completely dark, which was quite eerie.

At that moment, An San turned around and saw the room. He tiptoed over, bent down and put his head close to the door to listen to the sounds inside.

After a while, no sound was heard from inside the room.

He gently pushed open the door and looked around the room, but didn't find anyone.

After entering the house and searching carefully but finding nothing unusual, they prepared to leave.

Just as An San stepped out of the house, a sound came from inside.
