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

However, just a second before she bit down, a burst of energy suddenly struck her hand.

"Ah!" Feng Jiutian exclaimed in surprise, feeling a sudden dizziness. When she came to her senses, she saw the woman from before standing not far from her, looking at her without any surprise: "I told you you couldn't get up there, didn't I? How about it, you got the short end of the stick?"

Little Jin crawled out of her sleeve and wrapped itself around her body: "Master, what just happened? Why do I feel like I've lost you?"

Jiuyao also emerged from the ethereal space, his face grave: "This Phoenix Tower has mutated!"

Feng Jiutian felt something in her hand. She looked down and saw that she was actually holding a large rock.

Is this the roast chicken she was about to eat?

The woman glanced at Feng Jiutian, said nothing more, turned and left. Feng Jiutian also returned to his cave.

Xuanji Zi's expression turned solemn: "What we just saw was probably an illusion created by this Phoenix Tower!"

Feng Jiutian nodded, unable to help but feel a little scared: "This illusion is too powerful, it's almost indistinguishable from the real thing!"

Xuanji Zi pondered for a moment: "Since it is an illusion, it must have flaws. It's just that we don't know how to break it, which may cause some trouble."

Feng Jiutian nodded again. At this moment, she remembered the energy that had hit her hand last time and said, "I wonder who helped me in the end."

Xuanji Zi shook her head: "I don't even know where that energy came from."

Xuanji Zi was also clueless, and Feng Jiutian had no choice but to temporarily give up thinking about the problem.

However, she was really starving. Feng Jiutian went out to find some food to fill her stomach and then lay down to rest. During this time, she still slept while holding the golden egg. However, she was so tired that she did not notice that the key stuck to the golden egg was gone!

The next day, Feng Jiutian woke up refreshed and returned to the teleportation circle.

She wasn't someone who gave up easily. Once she decided to come in, she was determined to face any danger, no matter what lay ahead!

Once inside, she was still faced with an illusion, but this time Feng Jiutian was prepared and didn't believe anything she saw. However, to her surprise, some things in the illusion were actually real!

For example, right now, hanging from a tree in front of her is a male demon, none other than the Snow Fox!

Feng Jiutian initially thought it was just an illusion created by the Phoenix Tower to deceive her, but who knew that the fluffy hair clip on her head was gone!

Blood marks were left on the snow fox's hands, and a strong smell of blood emanated from them. Feng Jiutian knew that it was the scent of real blood!

The rope suspending the snow fox was descending at a steady pace, and beneath him lay a field of sharp blades!

The tree was suspended in mid-air, and if Feng Jiutian wanted to save Xuehu, he would have to step over those blades!

Xuanji Zi couldn't help but stop Feng Jiutian: "You can't use spiritual power here. With so many blades, you'll definitely bleed to death before you even get there!"

Feng Jiutian's eyes hardened: "But the Snow Fox is the demon I contracted with, he is my person, I can't just stand by and watch him die!"

Feng Jiutian gritted her teeth and stepped onto the blade!

"what!"

His right foot was instantly pierced, and excruciating pain instantly spread throughout his body. Even with Feng Jiutian's composure, he couldn't help but cry out in pain!

And this is just the beginning!

Feng Jiutian gritted her teeth. By the time she reached Xuehu's side, her feet were completely soaked in blood, and she was on the verge of fainting due to excessive blood loss!

But she knew she couldn't faint, otherwise all her efforts would be in vain. If she fell on the blade, both she and the snow fox would die!

Feng Jiutian didn't know how she got through that stretch of road. Towards the end, she couldn't even feel the coldness of the sharp blade piercing her feet anymore. All she knew was that after delivering the snow fox to a safe place, she fainted.

When Feng Jiutian woke up again, it was three days later. Her first reaction was to check on Xuehu to see if he was alright.

The Snow Fox, a powerful male demon, looked at Feng Jiutian and his eyes immediately turned red.

He has lived for countless years, while Feng Jiutian is not even fifteen years old.

But this girl, not even fifteen years old, disregarded her own life and endured the torment of the sharp blade to rescue him.

Although he was unconscious at the time, he was still conscious. He clearly saw how Feng Jiutian resolutely walked that path. To be fair, if he were in Feng Jiutian's shoes, he would not have had such firm courage and determination!

The snow fox knelt on the ground with a "plop": "Master, from now on, the snow fox will follow you to the death, even at the cost of its life!"

Feng Jiutian was a little uncomfortable with Xuehu's solemn declaration of loyalty, as she had long considered Xuehu as one of her own.

At this moment, Feng Jiutian suddenly noticed a problem, and she stood up from the bed: "My feet?"

Xuanji Zi broke out in a cold sweat: "Luckily, those blades were just illusions, otherwise your legs would be ruined!"

Is it just an illusion?

But the pain felt so real!

Feng Jiutian grinned, and seeing that the snow fox was still kneeling on the ground, he pulled him up and said, "It's alright, it's just an illusion."

Snow Fox knew that Feng Jiutian was facing an illusion, but he knew even more clearly that if Feng Jiutian did not save him, then what he was facing would not be an illusion. He could feel that the consciousness of the Phoenix Tower really wanted his life!

However, Xuehu did not say these words out loud. He secretly decided in his heart that no matter what happened in the future, he would protect Feng Jiutian forever. Anyone who wanted to hurt her would have to step over his dead body to get past her!

After eating something to regain her strength and realizing she wasn't injured, Feng Jiutian suddenly found the illusion quite interesting. She was eager to try it out again and see the consciousness inside the teleportation circle.

Without hesitation, Feng Jiutian stepped inside. After a brief moment of dizziness, the scene that appeared before her left her horrified!

Because this place holds so many of my memories!

Did he go back?

Feng Jiutian's mind began to wander. The place he was in was no longer the ethereal, illusory clouds, but the military camp he once vividly remembered!

"Stop daydreaming! It's time for an emergency assembly!" Just as Feng Jiutian was still in a daze, his former comrade-in-arms urged him from the side.

Watching the departing figure, Feng Jiutian felt something slipping away from his consciousness, something he couldn't grasp.

Right, wasn't I supposed to be on a mission? But something feels off.

Where exactly is it? Feng Jiutian always managed to grasp that little bit of thought, but it would slip away in the blink of an eye.
