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

"Jiutian, are you alright?"

Upon seeing Feng Jiutian emerge, Qianghuan immediately went to greet him. They had been taking turns caring for Feng Jiutian these past few days, and today it was Qianghuan's turn. She hadn't gone to watch any of the matches outside.

Feng Jiutian looked at Qiang Huan: "How did the competition go?"

Qiang Huan knew what Feng Jiutian was asking. She smiled slightly at him and said, "Don't worry, your battle with Shangguan Yi three days ago was too intense. You even damaged the arena. The organizing committee had to work day and night to repair it, and it took them two whole days to fix it. Today, Ji Xiao and a student from Maoyu Academy were selected to compete outside. Jiutian, if you're free, let's go take a look?"

When Ji Xiao was mentioned, a special light flashed in Qiang Huan's eyes.

Feng Jiutian nodded. After staying inside for so long, she also wanted to go out and have a look around.

On the arena, Ji Xiao and the people from Maoyu Academy were fighting fiercely. Ji Xiao was a martial artist.

His opponent, however, was a mage. Professionally speaking, Ji Xiao was at a disadvantage, especially since the mage's cultivation was no weaker than Ji Xiao's. Ji Xiao was already showing signs of defeat.

Upon seeing Feng Jiutian appear, many people's eyes immediately focused on her. The battle between Feng Jiutian and Shangguan Yi three days ago had shocked them greatly, and everyone looked at Feng Jiutian with great eagerness.

Someone came up to greet him: "Feng Jiutian, you've recovered so quickly? You're amazing!"

Feng Jiutian smiled politely but distantly, her attitude remaining the same as before.

This time, faced with Feng Jiutian's indifference, few people felt that Feng Jiutian was too arrogant; instead, they thought it was just a personality trait.

The law of the jungle prevails, and only the strong are ever respected!

Ji Xiao, who was on the arena, also saw Feng Jiutian. As soon as he saw Feng Jiutian, he was like a man possessed. Just a moment ago he was being suppressed by his opponent, but suddenly he burst out with powerful strength and even showed a tendency to counterattack!

In Ji Xiao’s heart, he always regarded Feng Jiutian as his rival. Although he never had the opportunity to fight Feng Jiutian, he never thought that he was weaker than Feng Jiutian.

But after witnessing the battle between Feng Jiutian and Shangguan Yi, he realized just how vast the gap was between him and Feng Jiutian.

To be fair, if he had been the one fighting Shangguan Yi back then, he probably would have been utterly defeated long ago!

However, despite realizing that he was not as good as Feng Jiutian, Ji Xiao was not discouraged. Instead, he made Feng Jiutian his goal.

Seeing that Feng Jiutian was "injured" but still came to watch his match, Ji Xiao felt that he could not let Feng Jiutian down. So he gritted his teeth and defeated his opponent despite almost being seriously injured!

"Damn it, are all the people at the Royal Academy this crazy this year?! They're all lunatics!"

The student from Maoyu Academy was stunned by Ji Xiao's reckless fighting style. After getting to know him, he left the stage cursing.

"Ji Xiao, are you alright?"

Qiang Huan rushed to Ji Xiao's side immediately and poured her spiritual power into his body to help him heal.

Ji Xiao looked at Feng Jiutian: "Jiutian, how are your injuries?"

Feng Jiutian shook his head: "I'm fine, but you, the way you fought just now was too dangerous. If your opponent had reacted even a little faster, you would probably be lying on the ground seriously injured by now!"

Ji Xiao scratched his head, not knowing why, but he suddenly felt a little restrained when facing Feng Jiutian.

"Um... I just acted impulsively..."

Qiang Huan chimed in, "Alright, it's good that Ji Xiao won. Let's go back first. Ji Xiao, you must be tired after playing for so long. Go back and get some rest..."

Qiang Huan chattered on and on, pulling Ji Xiao toward their lodgings.

Feng Jiutian was also planning to go back, but suddenly someone blocked his way.

Feng Jiutian stared expressionlessly at Guan Yi on the ground not far away: "What? You want to fight again?"

Shangguan Yi looked Feng Jiutian up and down, and then couldn't help but exclaim twice, "I didn't expect you to recover so quickly. It seems that your injuries have been completely healed."

Feng Jiutian sneered: "At least now, beating you so badly you can't get out of bed again won't be a problem!"

"Insolence! Feng Jiutian, don't think you can be arrogant just because you won last time. Let me tell you, His Highness was only careless last time, and you..."

"Shut up!" Before Feng Jiutian could speak, Shangguan Yi stopped the woman beside him who was speaking up for him, his face showing impatience. "What are you doing following me around all day? This prince doesn't need your service. Get as far away from me as possible!"

"Your Highness, you..."

"I told you to get out!"

Seeing that Shangguan Yi was so ungentlemanly, the woman ran away crying. Feng Jiutian had no interest in Shangguan Yi and turned to leave, but Shangguan Yi stopped her again, his expression completely different from when he had faced the woman earlier.

Shangguan Yi smiled and said, "Don't be in such a hurry to leave. I'm quite interested in you now. Why don't we sit down and have a chat?"

Are you interested in her?

Feng Jiutian rolled her eyes: "Too bad I'm not interested in you, move aside!"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yi's face stiffened for a moment. As the fourteenth prince of Beiqi Kingdom, and with his outstanding talent, he had been sought after wherever he went since childhood. Women could come and go as he pleased, and he had almost never been treated so rudely.

However, he quickly calmed down, his smile remained, and he addressed me more familiarly: "Jiutian, we've become friends after a fight, so why are you being so distant?"

Speaking of how sometimes enemies can become friends, Feng Jiutian remembered something. She looked at Shangguan Yi and said, "I haven't asked you yet, why did you chase after me last time? And why did you say you wanted to take back your things? What did I take from you?"

Shangguan Yi smiled slightly: "Want to know? It's not difficult, but with so many people around, it's not good to say things outright, is it?" As he spoke, Shangguan Yi glanced meaningfully at the fluffy hair clip on Feng Jiutian's head.

Beneath a secluded cliff, Feng Jiutian and Shangguan Yi stood facing each other.

"Can we talk now?"

Shangguan Yi opened his folding fan, exuding elegance: "If you're so eager to know, why don't you let that fox come out and tell you himself?"

He knew Snow Fox's identity after all!

Feng Jiutian's expression darkened slightly, and a murderous glint flashed in his eyes.

A flash of white light appeared, and the snow fox transformed into human form. He glared angrily at Shangguan Yi: "So it was you!"

Shangguan Yi smiled wickedly, a hint of arrogance in his eyes: "Little fox, long time no see. I never expected you to have run off with Feng Jiutian."

The snow fox exuded a murderous aura: "This time, even if I die, I will never let you catch me again!"
