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

Over time, Ling Yuan found it somewhat boring and became increasingly perfunctory, until the appearance of Feng Jiutian gave him hope.

Ling Yuan had an idea: to pass on his mantle completely. He seemed to be in a hurry to leave as soon as possible.

Feng Jiutian thought that the only thing that could make Ling Yuan so eager was probably the young lady.

Just then, the scene changed.

Feng Jiutian blinked and found herself standing in the center of a sea of ​​stars. A golden light flashed before her eyes, and there stood Ling Yuan, who had regained his original appearance, greeting her with a smile.

"Hi."

Feng Jiutian looked at him and asked calmly, "Do you regret it?"

This is a question that Feng Jiutian had been wanting to ask while looking back at his memories: Did he regret meeting the girl, or rather, did he regret merging his soul with her?

"Do not."

Ling Yuan smiled with some relief, looking at Feng Jiutian and said, "I will never regret meeting her, and I will never regret this life. If I could do it all over again, I hope I could still be with her."

Feng Jiutian was somewhat speechless. She couldn't understand Ling Yuan's almost zombie-like state after the girl left, nor could she understand why Ling Yuan was so deeply in love with the girl.

perhaps……

This is also where she falls short.

Feng Jiutian thought for a moment, then his expression relaxed, and he said, "Then... will you disappear completely?"

"Who said it would disappear completely?"

Ling Yuan's expression turned somewhat amused, and he put his index finger to his lips: "Shh—I'll tell you quietly, the idea that souls disappear when they dissolve is a lie."

"Actually, we all retain a sliver of consciousness. If someone is willing to rebuild our bodies, we can come back to life."

NS?

Feng Jiutian instantly understood; the girl was still there.

"So that's what that god promised you?"

Feng Jiutian found it somewhat amusing, yet also felt that Ling Yuan had endured a rather bitter life.

She could understand that Ling Yuan was already heartbroken at that time. He was like a stranded person in the desert who needed water. He would have believed anyone with authority who said that the girl could live.

Moreover, the person who spoke was already a god, and his words were unconditionally convincing.

"I hope you can spread the Ling family's influence."

Ling Yuan suddenly turned to Feng Jiutian with a serious expression and said, "Now that I am leaving, the Ling family's possessions must not be lost in my hands. I will pass everything on to you intact."

"You probably can't digest the power of the God-Breaking Realm in a short time. I've set up an array inside your body to seal the energy. It will only be activated to protect you in extremely dangerous situations. Otherwise, you'll have to refine it slowly on your own."

Finally, Ling Yuan added, "Remember this: don't be greedy, being down-to-earth is the most important thing."

"There is a hidden compartment under my stone table, where the domain lord's token of the Endless Domain and her flute are kept. Consider the Endless Domain a gift from your master, and as for the flute, give it to her clansmen."

Feng Jiutian understood this as well; it was a girl.

Ling Yuan had already let go of everything. He was about to reunite with his lover, so he naturally put aside these material possessions and let go of his attachments.

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiutian nodded and said, "Of course I can do it, but... since your souls have been merged, how can we meet again?"

"This one……"

Ling Yuan smiled mysteriously: "It's a secret."

“However…” Ling Yuan’s expression turned serious again, and he said, “If you meet a good person in the future, and you love each other, you must cherish it. Don’t wait until it’s gone before you regret it.”

Of course, Ling Yuan felt that it would be difficult for Feng Jiutian to find someone who reciprocated her feelings, after all, Feng Jiutian was too cold-hearted.

Yes, it's very cold and indifferent.

She was like a machine, single-mindedly pursuing becoming stronger, seemingly without considering or caring about anything else; her goal was always the same.

Become stronger.

Feng Jiu is extremely ruthless, as can be seen from her style of dismantling islands. This girl is ruthless, cold, and heartless. She seems to have wrapped up her softest parts and treated everyone with the hardest shell.

It's as if... there's no one in this world worthy of her genuine affection.

However, Ling Yuan had to admit that such a person was truly capable of great things and could bring his Ling family's resources to their fullest potential.

Ling Yuan never doubted that Feng Jiutian had broken her vow. Feng Jiutian was ruthless, but she was extremely loyal to her promises. Such a person never made promises lightly, but once she did, she would do it even if it meant going through fire and water.

This made Ling Yuan feel foolish, but he was also satisfied.

Feng Jiutian is the best candidate.

Upon hearing Ling Yuan's words, Feng Jiutian was stunned for a moment, and the first person she thought of was... the Seventh Prince.

That fiancé who was nominally incredibly weak.

Despite the many doubts, Feng Jiutian still felt that since he was being called her fiancé, protecting him wasn't something she couldn't do.

And then there are effeminate men.

She didn't know whether what she saw in that future moment was real or not. The woman said it was the most dangerous moment of her life, and she didn't believe in fate.

but……

Feng Jiutian wondered if she herself would fall in love, would she become like Ling Yuan, or like that girl?

That girl could give up everything for the one she loved, so what about her?

Will there come a day when I'll disregard everything and abandon all hope?

At this moment, Feng Jiutian's answer was no. She wouldn't. To abandon everything for a man would be foolish.

Ling Yuan smiled as he looked at Feng Jiutian, who had entered meditation, and his body transformed into a halo of light, slowly disappearing into the sea of ​​stars.

Ugh……

Feng Jiutian thought for a while, then suddenly frowned, feeling that instead of getting hung up on the answer, he should instead study the three secret techniques left behind by Ling Yuan.

She examined her dantian internally and found a sealing formation in the center. Feng Jiutian's spiritual power circled around it and immediately felt a powerful force!

powerful!

This was her first thought. With this power, her future cultivation became as simple as eating and drinking.

But Feng Jiutian did not intend to rely on the strength of others.

She wouldn't touch this power; it might be sealed in her dantian forever, or it might be used to save her life in a crisis. However, Feng Jiutian didn't intend to refine it.

What's the point of refining this thing? It's not like it's part of one's own cultivation power.

Withdrawing her probing spiritual energy, Feng Jiutian opened her eyes and found herself still in this sea of ​​stars. Then she heard that distant voice drifting over.

"why is it you again?"
