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

next second.

Feng Jiutian's expression hardened, and he thrust out five embroidery needles, striking the scarecrow's internal organs!

……

The quadrennial talent test arrived as scheduled. Qingzhi took out a light blue dress from the closet and helped Feng Jiutian change into it. She then styled her hair into a bun before stopping, satisfied.

Feng Jiutian quietly looked at the gentle girl in the bronze mirror, raised his hand to untie Qingzhi's complicated hair bun, and let her long black hair fall over her shoulders. To Qingzhi's astonishment, he casually tied it into a ponytail.

"Miss, you..."

"trouble."

Feng Jiutian stood up, clapped his hands, raised an eyebrow and smiled at Qingzhi, "Let's go, lead the way."

Qingzhi was momentarily stunned by Feng Jiutian's smile, and it took her a while to come to her senses. Following Feng Jiutian's footsteps, she hurriedly replied, "Okay."

As the saying goes, enemies are destined to meet.

As soon as Feng Jiutian stepped out of the Minnan Xiaozhu, he saw Feng Lingfu.

Today, Feng Lingfu wore a bright yellow ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), looking radiant and dazzling.

Compared to her, Feng Jiutian's attire was indeed rather plain.

"Sister, you seem to be in such high spirits today. Could it be that your cultivation has improved?"

Feng Lingfu's tone was contemptuous, her words carrying both sarcasm and a probing tone.

According to her informants, Feng Jiutian's behavior and personality have changed completely recently.

If it weren't for the fact that her ugly appearance remained unchanged, Feng Lingfu would have almost suspected that someone was impersonating Feng Jiutian.

Before, Feng Jiutian was weak, insecure, and timid, but after she returned to the Feng family, everything seemed to be different.

This made Feng Lingfu quite worried. Had Feng Jiutian's strength been restored?

"Is it related to you?"

Feng Jiutian glanced at Feng Lingfu indifferently, his expression detached, but his words were infuriating.

"You!" Feng Lingfu's phoenix eyes widened, then she snorted coldly, a disdainful smile curling at the corner of her lips, "I guess you're not very capable either."

Then, with a flick of his sleeve, he swaggered ahead of Feng Jiutian, accompanied by a group of maids.

"Miss, are you alright?" Qingzhi looked at Feng Jiutian with some concern. In the past, when her young mistress was ridiculed like this by Feng Lingfu, she would always be secretly saddened.

Although Miss just retorted to Feng Lingfu, she is still worried.

"No problem."

Feng Jiutian looked at Feng Lingfu's back with a cold smile.

……

The talent test was held in the family's ancestral hall.

Because Feng Jiutian is the eldest daughter of the main branch of the Feng family, she was the first to be tested.

"What good is Feng Jiutian to test? He's been tested twice already, and he's a complete waste!"

"She actually dared to come here; she's incredibly shameless!"

"Don't let it be like before, where you cried and ran back home after the test, hahaha!"

As soon as Feng Jiutian stepped into the ancestral hall, all eyes were on her. Some mocked her, some pitied her, all waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

No matter what people around him said, Feng Jiutian's face remained calm, his eyes still indifferent as water, like a vast, deep sea, so profound that no emotion could be discerned.

Without saying a word, he walked to his seat and sat down.

On the contrary, Qingzhi listened to the words around her, her round little face turned red, and her eyes were glistening, as if she was about to shed tears.

"It's just a pack of barking dogs, and they're trying to scare you to tears?"

Feng Jiutian picked up the teacup on the table, took a small sip, and his clear, even voice was flat, yet it inexplicably calmed Qingzhi's heart.
