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

The servant didn't say anything, but silently handed him a letter.

He hurriedly snatched the letter from the servant's hand, frantically opened it, his eyes scanning it repeatedly, his face changing from anxious to deathly pale.

It turned out to be like this...

A ball of fire elemental energy emerged from Xiao Lingyuan's hand, burning the letter to ashes.

"roll!"

He coldly uttered a single word and sent the servant away.

However, Ling Yuan was no longer the only son of the Ling family, and the Ling family had disappeared into oblivion. The servants' attitude towards Ling Yuan was also much worse than before, and they even looked down on him.

Even in such a sorry state, they're still so arrogant. Humph.

The servant packed his things and quickly left Xiao Lingyuan, who sat there in a daze, refusing to believe that his parents had left and the Ling family had disappeared.

And his most beloved wife...

It turned out that her father's words had come true; he was just a spy who had approached her with ulterior motives!

"Ha ha ha ha ha……"

Xiao Lingyuan covered his face with his hands and burst into laughter, but what seeped from his palms were large tears.

He cried his heart out.

When he opened the door again, the smile on Xiao Lingyuan's face disappeared, and he looked at everyone with intense hatred. He changed into specially made robes, took his weapons, and ventured into the Monster Forest alone.

He will take back what the Ling family has lost; he will redouble his cultivation to reclaim everything!

Everything owed will eventually be repaid!

Whenever Xiao Lingyuan thought of the girl, his expression would freeze for a second, and his heart would ache.

He desperately wanted to ask the girl if she had ever loved him, even for a fleeting moment. Was it really just an approach with ulterior motives?

Were those two years together... all a lie?

Ling Yuan didn't want to think about it, but he couldn't help thinking about it. He trained in the Demon Beast Forest and his strength gradually increased until he broke through to the Immortal Master level, which was ten years later!

Ling Yuan was exceptionally intelligent; his talent was measured as purple back then, and he progressed remarkably quickly. He also put in a lot of effort into the formations and barriers that he had once disliked.

Over the past decade, he has traversed every corner of the Monster Forest, setting up the arrays he had researched, leaving no corner untouched, and also setting up barriers.

Under his control of the array and barrier, the Monster Forest seemed to have become his own territory.

Ten years later, Xiao Lingyuan, who had broken through to the Immortal Master level, finally left the Demon Beast Forest.

In Feng Jiutian's eyes, his strength had reached the Immortal Master realm, and his array formations and barriers had also been cultivated to an extremely profound level.

Xiao Lingyuan had been practicing with magical beasts in the magical beast forest, and his barrier and formation techniques had already reached the peak level, but he was only a Celestial Master at the moment, so...

He is going to improve his cultivation level.

There are three divine beings in the empire, whom he cannot contend with with his power as a celestial master. He must become even stronger! He will... destroy this empire!

However, what Xiao Lingyuan did not expect was that the emperor was still clinging to life and lived for a full ten years!

And the Ling family...

Young Lingyuan stood at the gate of the Ling family once again, looked up at the mansion built on the former territory of the Ling family, lowered his eyes, and left.

They came silently, and they left silently.

Over the past decade, he has become more mature and speaks less. From a distance, he looks like a silent knight-errant. His handsome appearance still makes young girls swoon, and you can also see his former naivety.

But he is no longer the young scholar he once was.

He became somewhat extreme.

In order to attract the attention of the Empire, he used violence to threaten a magical beast that had gained sentience, destroyed a small town, and then used restoration magic to restore everything to its original state, successfully attracting the Empire's attention.

He then inadvertently let the city lord know where he was going, and then hurriedly left.

The empire quickly learned of Ling Yuan's whereabouts and this time directly dispatched a divine lord and countless mages and warriors to assist him.

The Empire is determined to bring Ling Yuan back!

Before these people arrived, Xiao Lingyuan encountered a girl on the outskirts of the Monster Forest. The girl had changed her clothes and was wearing a cloak that obscured her appearance, revealing only her chin and red lips. She was fighting a monster.

She exuded a bewitching aura, which made Yuan conceal his presence and watch her for a very long time.

Just when Feng Jiutian thought that Xiao Lingyuan had figured out that the girl was his wife, Xiao Lingyuan turned around and left without hesitation.

There is no sloppiness.

Feng Jiutian turned around and saw that the girl's spirit snake had just pierced through the monster's chest and pulled out one of the monster's inner cores.

Feng Jiutian began to have some doubts. Had Xiao Lingyuan realized that the girl was his wife?

There is no answer to this question.

For the next few days, Xiao Lingyuan focused on cultivation, eager to become stronger and dismantle the empire.

When he went out again, he met the girl again.

This time, the girl wasn't fighting monsters; she was sitting in a tree, and called out as Xiao Lingyuan passed by—

"Hey."

The girl lowered her voice, which was unusually pleasantly husky, and tilted her head to ask, "Kid, have you seen anyone else?"

Xiao Lingyuan stopped in his tracks, did not turn around, but coldly replied with three words: "You are."

"Heh...you're quite an interesting kid."

The girl crossed her two long, slender legs, raised one hand, and covered her lips with a delicate, pinky finger gesture, saying in a high-pitched voice—

"I haven't seen such an interesting young man as you in years. Why don't you come with me?"

Xiao Lingyuan finally showed some emotion. He tilted his head, glanced at the girl, and coldly uttered two words: "Disgusting!"

Those two words sounded rather harsh to the girl, but she still brazenly replied in a somewhat worldly tone, "Young man, you have quite a temper, but... I like it very much, hehe..."

Before she finished speaking, the girl transformed into a shadow and disappeared into the tree branch.

Xiao Lingyuan remained silent, ignoring the girl's gossip, and continued walking forward without looking back.

Not far behind him, the girl stood on the mountain peak, looking at Xiao Lingyuan, who had turned into a tiny dot. The smile on her red lips gradually disappeared, and finally a crystal drop of water condensed on her chin.

nausea……

Yes.

I feel disgusting with myself.

Even she herself couldn't help but feel disgusted with herself...

The girl didn't blame Ling Yuan; it was her own mistake. Perhaps she shouldn't have deliberately tried to get close to Ling Yuan in the first place.

What she feared most was being recognized by Ling Yuan. If she were recognized, how could she face him?

if it is possible.

She wished she had never been a puppet of the empire.

Feng Jiutian couldn't understand this feeling. She had never experienced what love felt like. Why should two people who clearly loved each other torture each other?
