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

"A person like that is either a scoundrel or a thief; I'd be doing myself a disservice if I didn't rob him!"

Feng Jiutian spoke extremely shameless words with a cold face, and looked at Qi Mo with a very frank expression, obviously not thinking that he had done anything wrong.

And Feng Jiutian was indeed right.

"You haven't experienced enough of the ways of the world." Feng Jiutian said with some disdain as he walked towards the city gate, "Never mind that, let's go into the city and take a look."

Qi Mo looked down at the calluses on the big man's hands, his expression somewhat dazed. He then turned to look at Feng Jiutian, a hint of interest and curiosity flashing in his usually calm eyes.

Qi Mo has the ability to see ghosts.

Being a national advisor requires more than just strength; it also requires special abilities. Qi Mo has never told anyone that his eyes can see through any disguise, even a person's soul.

Although his innate ability to see ghosts brought him many troubles, he gradually learned how to use it properly over time.

The image of Feng Jiutian that he saw during the Four Kingdoms Tournament... should be absolutely true.

That maturity and indifference beyond his years was all because an extremely powerful soul lived beneath Feng Jiutian's body!

Qi Mo had never seen such a strange soul before, so he was distracted during the Four Kingdoms Tournament and forfeited his participation.

If they really fought, Feng Jiutian wouldn't be able to beat him. Moreover, Qi Mo saw through Feng Jiutian's soul and knew that the other party was aiming for the champion, so he simply gave up.

Now, he's following Feng Jiutian around simply to see this different soul; this is the first person in his life who has managed to capture his attention.

Qi Mo didn't mind being more lenient with her, or even indulging her.

Feng Jiutian was not opposed to traveling with Qi Mo; on the contrary, Qi Mo probably knew more than she did.

Rather than traveling alone and feeling lost, it's better to go with someone who understands the Tenglong Continent. Besides, Qi Mo's strength is no weaker than hers. It's understandable that Feng Jiutian can't see through Qi Mo's cultivation level. As the National Preceptor of Nanning, how could Qi Mo hold his position if he wasn't strong?

The two entered the city with their own agendas.

Upon arriving in the city, they first found an inn to stay at. Feng Jiutian casually pulled aside the innkeeper to inquire about some news, and unexpectedly learned of a major event—

The royal family of Xixuan Kingdom has posted a recruitment notice to select ten powerful individuals to enter the Royal Secret Realm!

Seeing that Feng Jiutian didn't know what the Royal Secret Realm was, the waiter specially explained it to her.

Simply put, the Royal Secret Realm is a place specifically for royal children to train; outsiders have absolutely no chance of entering!

The treasures within the Royal Secret Realm are extremely abundant, and those who can enter are either exceptional individuals or elite disciples! Each of the four kingdoms possesses a Royal Secret Realm, but the Royal Secret Realm of the Western Xuan Kingdom is considered the foremost.

Because the secret realm of Xixuan Kingdom was forcibly opened by the only Venerable One on the Tenglong Continent who had become a god, the things inside naturally cannot be compared with those of the other countries.

Feng Jiutian also had her own calculations and considerations.

Since Xixuan Kingdom has offered this opportunity, there must be an extremely dangerous mission waiting for it. Feng Jiutian never believed in free bread, nor did he believe that anyone would be so generous as to allow outsiders to enter their territory to search for treasure.

However, since she has this opportunity, she might as well give it a try; what she lacks is this kind of experience.

Even in the face of danger, with Jiu Yao by her side, Feng Jiutian fearlessly knocked on Qi Mo's door.

"what happened?"

Qi Mo opened the door and asked.

"I heard that Xixuan Kingdom has a chance to enter the Royal Secret Realm, with ten spots available. Are you interested?" Feng Jiutian asked bluntly.

Qi Mo remained expressionless, nodding and giving a faint "Yes." As soon as he finished speaking, he lowered his gaze, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

What others might not know, he, as the Grand Preceptor of Nanning, had long heard that there was discord within Xixuan Kingdom, and that something had happened to the secret realm, with several royal elites already trapped inside.

This time it's probably to rescue these people, but if it's to rescue people, why would the royal family of Xixuan Kingdom ask to rescue others... Could it be that there's a traitor among them?

Qi Mo was worried that Feng Jiutian might be in danger if she went alone, so he stayed by her side so he could observe her and also pick up some good stuff from Xixuan Kingdom.

Although the secret realm of Xixuan Kingdom is extremely dangerous, the benefits within it are beyond description.

Guided by the innkeeper, the two quickly arrived at a place in Xixuan Kingdom that had been specially set up for registering for the competition.

Along the way, Feng Jiutian has seen five or six Grandmasters, two Imperial Tutors, and even one Immortal Master!

While waiting in line, Feng Jiutian said to Qi Mo, "This secret realm seems to be very attractive."

"That's natural!"

Before Qi Mo could speak, the person in front of Feng Jiutian turned around and, picking up where Feng Jiutian left off, said with a grin, "The royal secret realm, who wouldn't want to go in!"

Feng Jiutian glanced over and saw that the speaker was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties. He was quite handsome and had dimples when he smiled.

It's just about strength...

Feng Jiutian couldn't see through this person's strength, and his smile made Feng Jiutian feel a chill down her spine, as if she were being watched.

"It's the Twin Blades Lingyue..." someone whispered nearby. "Why is this madman here?"

"Stay away from him, or you'll get yourself killed."

The two people speaking clearly knew the dimpled man. Feng Jiutian suddenly became interested and continued the man's words: "Then do you know what's inside the Royal Secret Realm?"

"do not know."

The man shook his head without hesitation, but added with a smile, "The Royal Secret Realm is not something we people can touch. Now is the perfect opportunity to go in and take a look. My name is Fuling Yue, what's your name, young lady?"

"Feng Jiutian".

Fuling Yue gave a meaningful "Oh" and said, "So your surname is Feng. You seem quite capable at such a young age. I hope I can meet you in the competition later."

Feng Jiutian frowned imperceptibly. These words made her very uncomfortable, as if they were implying something, making her want to get away from the person in front of her.

"Number sixty-three!" someone called out.

Fuling Yuechong Feng Jiutian smiled again: "It's my turn. Goodbye, miss."

Feng Jiutian watched him drift away, and only after he disappeared from sight did the feeling of being watched by someone disappear from Feng Jiutian's body.

"He's dangerous," Qi Mo said calmly, seemingly reminding Feng Jiutian.

Feng Jiutian turned to look at Qi Mo and asked, "Can you tell what realm he is?"

Qi Mo nodded, his voice indifferent, and uttered four words—

"Late stage of Imperial Tutor".
