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

Seeing Feng Jiutian's unmoved expression, the old man rubbed his temples in exasperation and said in defeat, "Do you know what the reward for winning first place this time is?"

Feng Jiutian shook his head honestly.

You should know that she didn't want to participate at first. On the day the competition started, she only came over after the competition had already begun, so she had no idea what the prizes were.

Seeing Feng Jiutian's bewildered expression, the old man couldn't help but give her a sharp tap on the head, exasperated: "You brat, this reward is entry to the academy's special training grounds. That's a wonderful place. It's where the academy's ancestors cultivated, and it's filled with all sorts of treasures and rare items. Those old things in the library were discarded from that training ground. And they're only considered discarded!"

Old things in the library?

Feng Jiutian's expression finally changed slightly.

You should know that she found the incomplete manual of Contract Master in the library. Since it was discarded from that place, could there be incomplete manuals of Contract Master there as well?

After all, the current Contract Master manual is not complete, and we don't know where the rest are scattered.

"Why didn't I receive any news about such a big reward?" Feng Jiutian asked, somewhat troubled.

Even if she's out of touch with the world, surely she knows something like this?

She should have kept quiet; the more she brought it up, the angrier the old man became.

"You've been in seclusion for a month or two, and we hardly ever see you. How are those messengers supposed to get messages to you? You were even late for the competition. If anything happens, you'll miss it!"

Feng Jiutian silently endured the old man's scolding without uttering a single word.

She knew the old man meant well, so she naturally didn't say anything.

The old man sighed, "Alright, alright. Go and prepare quickly. Remember, you must come out on top. The benefits that training ground will bring you are immeasurable."

Feng Jiutian nodded.

Putting aside other benefits, just the fact that the incomplete manual of the Contract Master might be inside would make her try every means to explore this place.

The next day, after some thought, Feng Jiutian knocked on the Seventh Prince's door.

It seems like it's been a long time since I've seen the Seventh Prince, and I wonder what he's been up to.

Boom boom boom!

Feng Jiutian paused for a moment, then gently knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Hearing the familiar voice, Feng Jiutian felt a warmth in his heart and pushed open the door.

It must have been a long time since we last met. I was busy with advancement and cultivation recently, so hearing such a familiar voice felt unusually comforting.

Upon entering, one could see the Seventh Prince sitting at his desk, holding a book in his hand, carefully flipping through it, looking very serious.

"What brings you here? Did something happen to you?"

Hearing the door open, the Seventh Prince looked up and saw Feng Jiutian. He couldn't help but smile slightly, put the book in his hand aside, and asked Feng Jiutian with concern.

Startled by the Seventh Prince's sudden question, Feng Jiutian was momentarily lost in thought. Perhaps it was because he hadn't seen the Seventh Prince for a long time, but a complex and indescribable emotion welled up within him.

Feng Jiutian herself didn't want to dwell on what this feeling was, but she could sense that when she was by the Seventh Prince's side, she felt at ease and at peace.

Although she didn't know why, this thin man always seemed to appear unexpectedly beside her, helping and guiding her.

That effeminate guy was the same...

Feng Jiutian lowered his eyes, concealing his complex expression.

Coming to his senses, Feng Jiutian maintained a calm demeanor, with a slightly serious expression, as he looked at the Seventh Prince and said, "Do you know what the reward is for the winner of this competition?"

The Seventh Prince shook his head, indicating that he did not know, and waited for Feng Jiutian to continue.

"I heard that the winners of this competition can enter the academy's special training ground to cultivate."

Feng Jiutian looked thoughtful.

Upon hearing Feng Jiutian's words, a glint of light flashed in the Seventh Prince's originally indifferent eyes, and his tone seemed somewhat excited.

"I know that training ground is indeed a good place. If you can train there, you will definitely improve your strength a lot."

The Seventh Prince couldn't help but feel happy for Feng Jiutian, but then he remembered something and gave her some instructions.

On the other side, Feng Jiutian also kept listening to the Seventh Prince's advice.

"However, the academy's special training ground is a training paradise that many students dream of. Almost everyone regards that training ground as their goal and strives for it. In this competition, you must also be cautious and not underestimate your opponent."

"Yes, I know."

Feng Jiutian nodded, indicating that he could rest assured.

It seems the old man was right after all.

Feng Jiutian thought to herself that she must win this competition and try to enter the special training ground of that academy. Perhaps she would have a chance to break through the bottleneck, comprehend the secrets of cultivation, or continue to find the incomplete book of the Contract Master.

"Come with me to tomorrow's match."

Looking at the Seventh Prince, Feng Jiutian's eyes held a hint of anticipation, but she maintained a calm demeanor on the surface.

Feng Jiutian shed her usual aloof demeanor, and for the first time, she took the initiative to invite someone to accompany her.

It stemmed from a moment of compassion in my heart.

Feng Jiutian stared intently at the Seventh Prince's legs, her expression somewhat complicated.

Such a grand competition, yet the Seventh Prince was the only one in the room, unable to participate due to his physical disability.

Feng Jiutian could understand why the Seventh Prince was alone here instead of going to watch.

But she didn't want to let it go.

"okay."

Without any hesitation, the Seventh Prince looked at Feng Jiutian with tenderness in his eyes and answered affirmatively.

For a long time, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

"Stay for a while and have a meal before you leave."

The seventh prince broke the silence and spoke first, his expression very sincere.

Perhaps because the two hadn't seen each other for a long time, the Seventh Prince wanted to spend more time with Feng Jiutian, even if it was just for a short while. After all, such time together was rare, and both of them still had many unfinished business and their own paths to walk. Therefore, they could only cherish the time they could spend together now.

"Ah."

……

The competition proceeded as scheduled the following day.

In the morning, the sunlight in the academy was still dazzling, and the area around the competition venue was already crowded with students who had come to participate in the competition, as well as some students who came to watch the excitement.

After all, this competition is still crucial for some students. Being able to enter the academy's special training grounds is quite exciting, and it's said that there are many treasures there.

In the crowd below the field, the trainees were buzzing with excitement, discussing the trainees who were about to take the stage. The chatter was lively and bustling.
