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

Almost instinctively, everyone looked down and touched themselves, then glanced around at the people next to them, and couldn't help but gasp in unison—

"We're still alive!"

The force had not yet dissipated, and the oppressive aura lingered. Those who were still alive thankfully found a corner to hide in.

A wind blade suddenly appeared from the dust and smoke, blasting a huge crater into the auction house and causing it to collapse. Fortunately, only the items inside the barrier were damaged, and the damage did not affect the area outside the barrier.

The gaunt old man activated his defenses the instant the elemental sphere exploded; despite the overwhelming power, he still managed to hold on to his last breath.

"Cough cough..."

He lay on the ground, his body charred black, a transparent ball appearing in his hand. He glared at Feng Jiutian with resentment, his voice hoarse as if he were cursing with his last ounce of strength: "You can't escape... I will make sure you never have a moment's peace!"

"Snap." A crisp sound.

The gaunt old man crushed the transparent ball, and with a resentful laugh, he breathed his last.

Feng Jiutian watched coldly, then unleashed a ball of Crimson Lotus Night Flame to destroy the body and erase all traces. It's better for a person to die cleanly.

"Cough cough cough cough..." Just then, another coughing sound came from the side, accompanied by a complaining tone: "You little girl are crazy! You've practically ruined the Shaoge Auction House!"

Feng Jiutian turned around, and a dusty-faced man crawled out of the ruins, dusting off his clothes and stirring up a layer of dust.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey." The man spat out mud, waved his hands trying to brush away the dust in front of him, and shook his head to shake the mud off his head.

Feng Jiutian looked at him coldly: "So?"

"Hey, don't be so fierce!"

Despite his face being covered in soot, the man still managed a bright smile as he said to Feng Jiutian, "This isn't something I can decide, but I heard from Yao Ji that you know alchemy..."

As he spoke, his voice lowered considerably, as he tried to extract some benefits from Feng Jiutian.

"Xun Ye!"

Yao Ji's somewhat exasperated voice came over: "What happened to the barrier I told you to set up! It's all gone!"

The man's smile froze, and he moved somewhat guiltily behind Feng Jiutian, whispering to Yao Ji who was approaching, "Um... Yao Ji, you can't blame me, I have so many people to protect..."

Yao Ji had already approached Feng Jiutian. Despite the great turmoil, apart from her hair being a little messy, she had not a single scratch on her body.

Feng Jiutian felt a rare pang of guilt, after all, she was the one who blew up the venue.

As Yao Ji approached, she bowed respectfully to Empress Feng Jiu and said sweetly, "Thank you for your help, guest."

Then her gaze shifted to Xun Ye behind Feng Jiutian. With a smile, she beckoned with her finger and said through gritted teeth, "Come here! I have a score to settle with you."

Every move she made was full of charm, but at this moment no one was there to appreciate it. After the withered old man died, the barrier was opened, and everyone seized the opportunity to escape for their lives.

Excluding Yao Ji, Xun Ye, and Feng Jiutian, only three people remained.

Feng Zhiqi Mo, and... Feng Jiutian's gaze shifted to Ji Qing standing behind. Ji Qing seemed to have come alone, but she excitedly ran over when she saw Feng Jiutian.

"Feng Jiutian!"

Ji Qing ran over and said to Feng Jiutian with an almost bizarrely enthusiastic attitude, "I just bought two Blood-Fighting Pills. You must need them since you just used up your spiritual energy, here you go!"

Without saying a word, Ji Qing took out a porcelain bottle that Feng Jiutian knew all too well—the very bottle containing the two Blood-Fighting Pills that she had sent to the auction.

Yao Ji, who was standing aside and knew the inside story, could hardly control her facial expression and was almost laughing out loud, but she held it back after Feng Jiutian glanced at her.

"That's it, thank you."

Feng Jiutian accepted it without hesitation and gave Ji Qing a sincere smile.

When you encounter someone you want to punch, first treat them with the utmost kindness, and then deliver a powerful punch!

"boom!"

One punch.

Ji Qing was knocked to the ground by Feng Jiutian's punch, seeing stars and a little dazed.

Feng Jiutian twisted his wrist, stepped on Ji Qing's shoulder, and pressed him down so he couldn't move before saying, "Then do you know which private room I'm in?"

Ji Qing shook his head blankly. He didn't understand why he was beaten up even after giving Feng Jiutian the Blood-Fighting Pill, and why Feng Jiutian hit him so hard.

hiss--

Ji Qing raised her hand to wipe her nose and felt the blood.

Feng Jiutian said in a cool and gloomy tone, "Do you still remember the Moon-Closing Grass and the Beacon Fire Whip?"

After Feng Jiutian's reminder, Ji Qing suddenly realized why Feng Jiutian had suddenly attacked him!

"I didn't know it was you, Jiutian, let me explain!" Ji Qing hurriedly explained, "If I had known it was you, I definitely wouldn't have argued with you!"

For raising the price so much for nothing, Feng Jiutian was already being very lenient by not killing him outright; he only gave him a punch, which was already quite polite.

Ji Qing felt bitter inside. He didn't know how to explain it to Feng Jiutian. If he were in Feng Jiutian's shoes, he would definitely not let the other party get away with having such a high price raised for no reason!

"Who gave you permission to call me by my name?"

Feng Jiutian pressed down on her feet and said coldly, "Why aren't you going back to the academy with your mentor? What are you doing here?"

Another question that Feng Jiutian found strange was that Ji Qing, as the grandson of Elder Ji of the Royal Academy, couldn't possibly come up with that much money from a mere elder. Therefore, Feng Jiutian suspected that Ji Qing had another identity...

“Going back to the academy is so boring. I only sneaked out because I heard there was an auction in Yuan City. So please don’t send messages to the academy.”

Ji Qing winked at Feng Jiutian and gave him an extremely kind smile: "I swear, I won't cause any trouble!"

He just wanted to stay by Feng Jiutian's side and then find an opportunity... well... to confess his feelings! That's right, to confess his feelings!

That good-for-nothing from Dongling Kingdom is no match for Feng Jiutian. In Ji Qing's opinion, no one but him can match Feng Jiutian!

Of course, Ji Qing forgot one thing: her own strength was completely inferior to Feng Jiutian's.

"You have to wait in line, I'm here first."

Qi Mo's calm voice cut directly off from Ji Qing's, saying, "Miss Feng, where are you going next?"

Feng Jiutian was taken aback by the question. She really didn't know where to go next. Finding the Contract Master's Manual was one purpose, and another purpose was to find herbs to repair the soul.

However, there is still one major problem.

"What are you doing following me?" Feng Jiutian asked Qi Mo coldly, her attitude neither kind nor gentle.

Qi Mo lowered his head and thought for a moment, then slowly raised his head and looked at Feng Jiutian with a serious expression, saying, "I want to go and see the world with you."
