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

Feng Zhi and Qiang Huan glanced at Ji Xiao, but they understood Feng Jiutian's words and followed in his footsteps.

Ruohan stayed behind and said something that made the somewhat dejected Ji Xiao stand up unsteadily and catch up with the group.

After Feng Jiutian asked Ruohan, Ruohan smiled and said, "I told him that only when you are stronger than him can you give him a good scolding."

However, by then Ji Xiao already understood what Feng Jiutian meant when she said it, and she no longer had any intention of defeating Feng Jiutian. Instead, she admired Feng Jiutian wholeheartedly.

Feng Jiutian and his group spent two days exploring Guili Forest. According to the route on the map, they seemed to be almost at the middle of Guili Forest, and a public camp was not far ahead.

"Little girl! Little girl!"

Just as Feng Jiutian was about to enter the public camp, a familiar voice came from behind her. It was Fei Hu, the one who had led her into the Mercenary Guild.

Feng Jiutian stopped and looked back. It was indeed Fei Hu, with a small figure beside him.

"Miss, I'm so sorry, I really have no other choice!"

As soon as Fei Hu ran up to Feng Jiutian, he knelt down and kowtowed: "Fei Hu Mercenary Group will be disqualified soon because there are only two of us. You can refuse to take me in, but please take my younger brother into the mercenary group! I beg you! He is still young and needs a way to survive."

Feng Jiutian looked at him indifferently: "Feihu, you are also a captain, you should understand that I am not a charity worker."

Feng Jiutian's words were extremely cold, yet they were also the law of survival: a person without ability will not be accepted by others, and without ability, there is no meaning to survive.

"I'm capable!"

The little boy next to Fei Hu looked up, his dark eyes fixed on Feng Jiutian, and said seriously, word by word, "I'm not someone who does nothing."

It's clear that he knows what Feng Jiutian said at the Master's Gathering.

This look...

Feng Jiutian remained silent for a while.

"Follow me."

She turned and walked forward, leaving behind a sentence that made Fei Hu feel relieved. He instructed the boy, "You must listen to the girl from now on. You must cultivate diligently when your brother is not around."

"Where are you going? I meant both of you follow me." Feng Jiutian suddenly turned around and said, "I didn't say I wouldn't accept you."

Although Fei Hu is only at the peak of the Grandmaster level, she has plenty of pills and enough energy to nurture her. Every cultivation level is something that can be achieved through cultivation.

Fei Hu's face lit up with joy, and he repeatedly said, "Thank you, young lady! Thank you!"

Upon entering the public encampment, Feng Jiutian discovered that it was a small trading market with mercenaries exchanging furs and beast cores, as well as merchants coming and going. There were also several elegantly dressed women being protected by mercenaries, which did not seem like the dangerous place in the legends.

"Hey, isn't this Feng Jiutian?"

As Feng Jiutian's gaze focused on a fiery red beast core, a very familiar voice reached his ears.

"Shangguan Yi? What are you doing here?"

Feng Jiutian looked at Shangguan Yi, who was waving a fan and acting nonchalant, and then looked around. He was surrounded by a group of mercenaries.

"Hmph, this is the territory of my Northern Qi Kingdom. Why can't I, the prince, be here? But you..." Shangguan Yi looked at him, "You came out of the Phoenix Tower?"

"Thank you for your concern, Prince Shangguan, but please make way." Feng Jiutian was indifferent to him and brushed past him without any hesitation.

"you!"

Shangguan Yi clenched the fan in his hand in anger.

As Feng Zhi passed by Shangguan Yi, she chuckled to herself, "Fourteenth Prince, Jiutian is not like those infatuated women in your Luojia Academy."

To be honest, the fourteenth prince is really used to being arrogant. He looks at everyone with a "you're trying to climb up to me" attitude, which is really annoying.

Qiang Huan laughed out loud only after they were far away: "Feng Zhi, he's a prince. Aren't you afraid of being retaliated against for saying that?"

"Tch, did you see that look in his eyes? He's clearly interested in Jiutian! Our Jiutian wouldn't even look at him, right Jiutian!"

Feng Jiutian glanced at Feng Zhi indifferently: "Want to be wanted by the Northern Qi Kingdom?"

Fengzhi quickly covered her mouth and chuckled, "I was just thinking of you... don't be angry."

They then toured the camp, but found nothing worth buying. Feng Jiutian then led the group to rent a few tents to rest for the night before heading into the middle area for training.

These past two days I've been on the outskirts of Guili Forest, but I haven't encountered any terrifying monsters or found any herbs, so it's probably been wiped out long ago. The central area of ​​Guili Forest is probably more dangerous because no mercenary groups have ever been there and there's no map of it.

Feng Jiutian explained some issues to Ruohan, and then called Feihu over.

Fei Hu sat somewhat nervously opposite Feng Jiutian, unsure of what Feng Jiutian wanted to ask.

But no matter what, he could see that although this girl was ruthless, she still had a bit of humanity in her heart. Fei Hu was somewhat moved and also somewhat in awe.

"How long have you been stuck at the peak of the master level?"

Fei Hu was surprised that Feng Jiutian's first question was this, and he lowered his head in shame: "It's been five years, and I still haven't made a breakthrough."

"Are you sure you want to join the Nine Pride Mercenary Group? I don't tolerate traitors or unambitious good-for-nothings, but if you join, I can give you the most basic protection. Do you still dare to join such a mercenary group?" Feng Jiutian looked at Fei Hu and said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Fei Hu immediately knelt down, pounded his chest with his right hand, and solemnly swore: "I swear in the name of Heaven that I am a member of the Nine Pride Mercenary Group in life and in death! I will never betray them!"

A white light rose from beneath Fei Hu's feet, forming a complex array. Feng Jiutian vaguely sensed a slight connection.

"You obviously don't know that."

Nine Luminaries' voice rang out in the Void Spirit Shop, somewhat smugly saying, "It's a soul oath! Idiot!"

It turned out to be a vow of the soul...

In the Tenglong Continent, oaths are highly valued, and oaths are never taken lightly. Therefore, once an oath is taken, breaking it will result in human destruction!

Feng Jiutian helped Fei Hu up: "I believe you. Give me your mercenary guild token."

Fei Hu immediately handed over the jade tablet, and Feng Jiutian incorporated a wisp of elemental power from his own jade tablet into it.

Meanwhile, at the Mercenary Guild Headquarters, the 421st Flying Tiger Mercenary Group suddenly transformed into the Nine Pride Mercenary Group with a flash of golden light. The five golden characters seemed to foreshadow the rise of a certain group!

"Here, take this pill. Prepare to break through tonight."

After Feng Jiutian finished doing this, she took out the remaining pills from when she broke through to Saint Master in the Void Spirit Cauldron last time and gave them to Fei Hu: "We are going to Guili Forest tomorrow morning. You'd better go back and break through as soon as possible."
