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

Jiuyao pouted but didn't answer. She disliked this place from the bottom of her heart and was always listless and uninterested.

Seeing Jiu Yao's condition, Feng Jiu Tian thought for a moment and, just to be on the safe side, arranged for Xiao Jin to be there to provide support in case of any unexpected events.

Jiuyao swaggered toward the black demon ape, his big eyes glaring impatiently: "Hey, big guy, give me that demon ape fruit next to you."

Upon seeing Jiuyao, a human-like fear flashed across the black demon ape's face—the instinctive fear of a low-level demon beast towards a high-level one.

However, upon hearing that Jiuyao wanted it to guard the Demon Ape Fruit that it had been protecting for so long, the black demon ape bared its teeth and revealed a fierce expression.

Jiuyao rubbed her little fists: "If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences. Since that's the case, then this grandma won't be polite!"

As soon as Jiuyao finished speaking, he suddenly stomped his foot hard on the ground, causing the entire mountain to shake. Using the force of the impact, Jiuyao sprang up and threw a punch at the Black Demon Ape.

"Squeak!"

Although the black demon ape had developed intelligence, it could not speak yet. When Jiu Yao punched it, it immediately let out a sharp and painful howl.

The wailing was painful and prolonged. Feng Jiutian, who was hiding not far away, frowned slightly as she listened. She vaguely felt that the sound was not just a cry of pain, but more like some kind of horn.

Sure enough, in just a short while, countless monkeys suddenly rushed over from all directions. Feng Jiutian couldn't help but gasp. It seemed that all the monkeys on the second level had come. In total, there were more than a thousand of them.

With so many apes surging in from all directions, Feng Jiutian could no longer hide and had to stick close to Jiuyao. Taking the opportunity, Feng Jiutian scanned the surroundings with her spiritual power but found no trace of anyone other than the apes.

Did the person who stole her things not come this time?

Thinking about it, Feng Jiutian's expression darkened even more.

Faced with the swarms of monkeys baring their teeth and claws all over the mountains, Jiu Yao didn't take it to heart and maintained his nonchalant expression. Seeing this, Feng Jiu Tian said, "Jiu Yao, are you confident that you can deal with these monkeys?"

Jiuyao looked at Feng Jiutian as if he were an idiot, then rolled his eyes: "No!"

Feng Jiutian: "..."

Jiuyao rolled his eyes again: "Haven't you heard the saying 'many ants can kill an elephant'? How am I supposed to deal with so many stinky monkeys? Let's run!"

After saying the last four words, Jiuyao, without any sense of loyalty, ran away first.

After being speechless, Feng Jiutian could only put the golden snake into his sleeve and then quickly followed.

Seeing Feng Jiutian and the others escape, the monkeys were immediately invigorated and chased after Feng Jiutian and Jiu Yao one after another, causing chaos on the second floor of the Phoenix Tower.

Feng Jiutian hadn't experienced being chased so relentlessly by a person... no, by a monkey in a long time.

But Jiu Yao was right. Most of the monkeys covering the mountains and plains were between the second and third tiers. Due to the special nature of the Phoenix Tower, their strength was roughly equivalent to the third to fourth tiers of magical beasts in the outside world. Such cultivation was not considered powerful. If there were only one or two, or even ten or a hundred, Feng Jiu Tian was confident that he could handle them. However, there were thousands of them, and he could not use spiritual power here. Apart from running away, Feng Jiu Tian could not think of any other way.

Feng Jiutian and Jiu Yao ran around the entire Phoenix Tower three times before the monkeys gave up chasing them. Feng Jiutian was so tired that she couldn't catch her breath. Even though she ran fast, the monkeys scratched her a lot, pulled her hair into a mess, and hit her arm with a big bump from something.

Jiuyao looked much better than Feng Jiutian. There was almost no sign of the thousands of monkeys chasing her all over the mountain. She circled Feng Jiutian twice, a look of disgust on her face: "Tsk, you're too weak. A few stinky monkeys did all that to you!"

Feng Jiutian: "..."

Jiuyao patted Feng Jiutian's shoulder with feigned maturity: "We've been chased like this by these stinky monkeys, are we just going to let it go? Can you swallow this? I certainly can't! Those stinky monkeys will never expect that we'll go and steal their Demon Ape Fruit now, so how about..."

Feng Jiutian gritted her teeth: "Let's go!"

The two, without even taking a moment to recover their breath, rushed to the location where the Demonic Ape Fruit grew. However, what they never expected was—

The Demon Ape Fruit has vanished!

The black demonic ape guarding the demonic ape fruit was now standing around the fruit, its eyes bloodshot, wreaking havoc.

Clearly, the Demon Ape Fruit was taken away by someone while it was chasing Feng Jiutian and the other person.

Xuanji Zi couldn't help but laugh within the illusory space: "Girl, it seems you've fallen for their trick again. This is a classic case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!"

A dark glint flashed in Feng Jiutian's eyes.

Interesting, quite interesting!

She had a feeling that the person who took the Demon Ape Fruit this time was the same one as last time!

This guy is really something else; he snatched things from her twice!

Just as Feng Jiutian was thinking about the person who had snatched the things from her, the berserk black demon ape suddenly spotted Feng Jiutian and Jiuyao. It roared and charged towards them.

Jiuyao was also in a bad mood. He had worked so hard for so long, only to have it all benefit someone else!

She hissed, "You beast, how dare you!"

Then, she pushed off backward with her little feet and rushed towards the black demon ape.

"boom!"

The two bodies collided, their sizes were completely disproportionate. The black demon ape was four or five times the size of Jiu Yao, yet in this pure contest of strength, the black demon ape was directly knocked away by Jiu Yao, while Jiu Yao's small body remained completely still!

Jiuyao let out another low shout, seized the opportunity to leap up, and stomped hard on the black demon ape's stomach. The black demon ape was severely injured, and blood gushed out from between its ferocious teeth.

I'll kill you while you're sick!

Just as Jiuyao was about to deliver the fatal blow, Feng Jiutian's Contract Master technique suddenly activated on its own. Then, the murderous aura in the black demon ape's eyes receded rapidly at a visible speed, turning into docility.

"stop!"

At the critical moment, Feng Jiutian stopped Jiuyao's actions. She didn't know what had happened just now, but she vaguely felt that she had tamed the black demon ape!

Yes, not a contract, but taming!

This was the first time the technique had been activated on its own since Feng Jiutian began practicing the Contract Master's Manual. Feng Jiutian felt as if she had suddenly discovered some other uses for this technique, so she quickly told Jiu Yao to come back and stop attacking the Black Demon Ape.
