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

"What are you afraid of, Immortal Master! Let me go out and beat them to a pulp!"

Jiuyao's voice came in somewhat eagerly. During their time on the island, for some reason, these contracted beasts couldn't speak or go out, so they simply slept soundly.

However, after Feng Jiutian left the island, Jiuyao woke up, and the first thing he did upon waking up was, of course, to stretch his muscles and bones.

"Don't be ridiculous."

Feng Jiutian rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache: "You are in human form. There are only ten people who can enter the secret realm. If you go out, people will immediately recognize you as a magical beast. You should stay put."

All magical beasts capable of transforming into human form are ninth-tier magical beasts or above, and there have never been any ninth-tier magical beasts on the Tenglong Continent, let alone ancient magical beasts of the Nine Luminaries level.

If the Nine Luminaries were to appear in the world, it would only attract more greedy people. Out of her promise to the mysterious old man, and more out of a sense of responsibility towards the Nine Luminaries, Feng Jiutian would consider these trivial matters for the sake of the Nine Luminaries.

"Humph."

Jiuyao gave a cold snort, seemingly very dissatisfied, but didn't say anything more.

The people behind Feng Jiutian followed him without launching a sneak attack or making their appearance. They simply stayed hidden in the shadows, leaving Feng Jiutian somewhat confused about their intentions.

Logically, the second step after following someone should be to kill and rob them, but they have been hesitant to do so, which makes Feng Jiutian want to turn the tables and rob them instead.

So after killing another demonic beast and extracting its inner core, she calmly sat down and meditated, channeling her spiritual energy into the core. Then, facing the direction where the group of people were hiding, she created a small array that extended directly from the ground.

Ling Yuan left behind many formations, but Feng Jiutian was most satisfied with these sneak attack formations, which were silent and caught people off guard.

This formation was created by Ling Yuan himself. When he created it, it was purely out of a playful impulse. However, he did not expect that something would happen later. The formation was studied in depth and could be directly transformed into a killing formation that could be triggered from underground to strangle people!

Using the inner core as a medium, spiritual energy as a guide, and divine sense as a means of directing this spiritual energy to the feet of the intended victim, an array is drawn underground, and then—

"boom!"

A deafening explosion rang out, followed by two or three screams. They were propelled into the air by an unknown force from the ground and then crashed down heavily!

"hiss--"

The person who fell was in pain, their face contorted in agony. Caught off guard, even the immortal master was thrown around.

Seeing this, Feng Jiutian frowned and muttered to herself, "This formation seems a bit off... Is it because my use of earth element is not pure enough?"

Logically, the earth elements that explode should form spikes that pierce and kill people directly, rather than simply exploding.

What exactly is going on?

Feng Jiutian was unsure where she had gone wrong, but since she had already made her move, she wouldn't hide anything. She summoned a dagger, concealed it in her wrist, and walked forward, pretending to be unaware of the situation.

"It seems the three of you have been following me the whole time?"

A voice suddenly rang in Mo Shen's ears, and his face turned somewhat ugly. He stood up, dusted himself off, and said arrogantly, "What right do you have to make me follow you? You little brat, you don't know your place!"

Clearly, this immortal master also failed to realize that the one who made the move was Feng Jiutian.

Unlike elemental attacks, formations don't leave traces, so Feng Jiutian wasn't worried about being exposed at all. Instead, he glanced at the three people and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Those three are really lucky. They were blasted out right next to me. It seems to be fate."

It would be absolutely impossible for a celestial master to say that he was unaware of Feng Jiutian's existence, so Mo Shen's words were somewhat embarrassing.

Since it is currently unknown whether Feng Jiutian possesses the Devouring Python or any other treasures, and the others in the secret realm are still watching him, and the woman in front of him does not seem to be a kind person, the chance of her killing him with one blow is slim, so it is inconvenient for him to make too much of a commotion.

Taking a deep breath, Mo Shen snorted coldly and said, "I won't bother with a junior like you. Let's go!"

With that, he hurriedly left with his two henchmen.

A murderous intent flashed across Feng Jiutian's face, but it gradually disappeared, leaving him with an indifferent expression as if nothing had happened.

In the following days, Feng Jiutian did not see anyone else, nor did anyone follow her, and she did not encounter Qi Mo.

Where did he go?

After searching for several days, Feng Jiutian frowned impatiently and looked around for a while.

"They also need to gain experience, so what's there to be afraid of? You'll naturally meet them when you leave the secret realm, so don't panic."

Xuanji Zi's attitude was quite amiable, and she even smiled as she comforted Feng Jiutian. It's unclear who was the person who was grieving over the past few days.

Feng Jiutian didn't speak, but raised his hand to set up an array around him.

There's been an eighth-tier magical beast wandering around these past few days. She doesn't care, but Xuanjizi has taken a liking to the beast's horn.

It was an eighth-tier horned crocodile beast that lived in the mud but preferred to eat land creatures, especially smaller magical beasts.

Over the past few days, Feng Jiutian observed this horned crocodile beast and discovered that its daily routine was somewhat regular.

They never leave the mud during the day, but once night falls, they shrink their bodies and slowly emerge to move on land.

Having figured out the crocodile beast's daily routine, Feng Jiutian set up an array during the day, waiting for the crocodile beast to come ashore so that it could be triggered and captured directly.

Xuanji Zi wanted the horn of the crocodile beast, and Jiu Yao wanted the inner core.

Moreover, the horned crocodile's hide is extremely tough, and Feng Jiutian also plans to peel it off to study how to forge weapons.

She had carefully observed the weapon-forging techniques that Gu Luo had passed on to her, but she had not yet begun the actual crafting process.

So Feng Jiutian decided to take this opportunity to give it a good try. Anyway, there were still two months before they left the secret realm, so there was no rush.

However, the first one to fall into Feng Jiutian's formation was not a crocodile beast, but a person!

"Whoosh—Sizzle—"

The formation was activated, producing a piercing sound, and a voice cried out, "Help! Feng Jiutian, are you really going to kill me?!"

Feng Jiutian remained unmoved, her face cold.

It was Fuling Yue's voice. Feng Jiutian only had four words to say about Fuling Yue—

The ghost lingers.

She had only been away from the island for a few days when she encountered Fuling Yue, this jinx. Just how deep was Fuling Yue's obsession with her?

Feng Jiutian didn't even think about it and didn't make a move. She let Fuling Yue train properly in the formation for a while, while she took out a spiritual fruit from the Void Spirit Cauldron, put it to her mouth and took a bite.

so sweet.
