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

After the events following the auction, Qi Mo, though following her, never mentioned the Moon-Closing Grass, so Feng Jiutian naturally forgot about it.

Now that Qi Mo brought it up, Feng Jiutian naturally thought of it too. So, was Qi Mo's catching of the Moon-Closing Grass also of great use?

However, this was not the time to ask such questions. After stabilizing the spiritual energy within his body, Feng Jiutian stood up and looked towards the Mist Demon.

All that could be seen was that Jiu Yao had completely overwhelmed the Mist Demon, leaving it helpless as it kept dodging Jiu Yao's attacks, trying to run away but being pulled back each time.

Feng Jiutian watched for a while before saying, "Stop."

"okay!"

Nine Luminaries responded readily, reaching out to grab the Mist Demon, whose body was still trembling and unable to move.

Feng Jiutian strode over, looked at the mist demon, and coldly uttered a few words.

"Speak, what is your purpose?"

"Pooh!"

The Mist Demon let out a disdainful snort: "Even if you use every trick in the book today, I won't say a word!"

Upon seeing its attitude, Feng Jiutian already knew the outcome. He turned his gaze to Jiuyao and said coldly, "If it won't talk, then forget it. You can swallow it as you please."

"Hee hee hee……"

Jiuyao smiled and lifted the Mist Demon up, licking her lips to reveal two sharp canine teeth. "I can tell this demon smells delicious—"

As he spoke, Jiuyao suddenly opened his mouth, rubbed the demon, and swallowed it whole!

Before being swallowed by Jiuyao, the demon seemed to say something, but its voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.

Even Qi Mo looked at Feng Jiutian, puzzled, as if asking what the demon had said before being swallowed.

They didn't hear clearly, but Feng Jiutian did.

Before it was swallowed, the mist demon said—

"Our superiors will never let you get away with this!"

Even the late-stage Immortal Master, the demonic phoenix Jiutian, found it difficult to deal with and needed Jiuyao's help, let alone the "master" in this mist demon's mouth?

Their strength must be no less than that of a Celestial Master!

Feng Jiutian's expression had become somewhat solemn. She had originally thought there was only one demon, but now it seemed to be a group, which made things a bit difficult.

The gate to the secret realm will not open again for another two months. Even if they do not encounter that demon in these two months, if the demon intends to devour their essence when they leave the secret realm two months later, it will definitely ambush them at the gate!

That would probably be even more difficult!

After thinking for a moment, Feng Jiutian shook his head at Qi Mo and said, "This matter... let's discuss a solution later."

As she spoke, she turned her head and looked at the two people standing outside, who were somewhat shocked.

"belch."

Before Feng Jiutian could speak, Jiuyao suddenly let out a burp.

Feng Jiutian then turned to look at Jiuyao, only to see Jiuyao clutching his stomach, his facial features contorted in pain, saying, "I think I'm about to advance..."

"You seem to have indigestion."

Xuanji Zi floated out of the Void Spirit Cauldron and mocked Jiu Yao without any politeness. Of course, no one else could hear this except Jiu Yao and Feng Jiutian.

Jiuyao snorted angrily and said, "This demon's energy is too great, and there are too many evil spirits. I need to sleep for a while to absorb this energy and purify the evil spirits."

As he spoke, Jiu Yao looked at Feng Jiu Tian, ​​coughed lightly, his eyes darting around, and said in a nasty tone, "Be careful, don't mess with anyone else and I won't be able to save you in time... Hmph!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she glared at Xuanji Zi again, muttered "old geezer" under her breath, and hurriedly crawled back into the Void Spirit Cauldron. She fell silent, seemingly determined to fall into a deep sleep.

Seeing that Jiu Yao seemed anxious, Feng Jiutian didn't have time to say anything before Jiu Yao had already crawled back inside.

Feng Jiutian sighed helplessly, then looked at Qi Mo. Qi Mo's expression was indifferent, and he didn't seem curious about where Jiu Yao came from, which saved Feng Jiutian the trouble of explaining.

"Those two people..."

She turned back to the two people standing there, tapping the dagger in her hand, and coldly uttered the rest of her sentence: "Why don't we just silence them?"

Having seen so much that I shouldn't have seen, I shouldn't be alive anymore.

Qi Mo stopped Feng Jiutian, saying, "No."

"Ok?"

Feng Jiutian looked at Qi Mo in confusion: "Why?"

“Those two are no ordinary people; they both have family life tokens on them. If you kill them, their families will accept it, and you'll be in even more trouble once you leave the secret realm.”

As he spoke, Qi Mo looked at Feng Jiutian and pressed, "You haven't laid a hand on anyone this month, have you?"

This question reminded Feng Jiutian of what happened in front of the Devouring Python a month ago... She suddenly realized: "I killed someone named Situ Ya."

"The Situ family is the most powerful family in the Western Xuan Kingdom, with complex and intertwined strengths."

Qi Mo succinctly told Feng Jiutian: "You're finished."

No one has ever escaped punishment for offending the Situ family, let alone this secret realm located in Xixuan Kingdom. Two months from now, there will definitely be a group of Situ family members lying in ambush outside the secret realm, and it will surely be another fierce battle.

"I made him take the blame."

Feng Jiutian pointed to two people standing aside, not daring to move. One of them was Ge Baofang, who had been blamed by Feng Jiutian a month ago.

“The Ge family is an appendage of the Situ family. Putting aside the fact that the Situ family has Situ Ya’s soul tablet, Ge Baofang would never kill Situ Ya for that reason alone.”

Qi Mo calmly analyzed: "So even if he gets out, without enough evidence, no one will believe that Ge Baofang killed Situ Ya."

"How come you know everything?"

Feng Jiutian looked at Qi Mo speechlessly. Wasn't this guy usually very quiet? How come he suddenly started analyzing things so logically?

"Ahem." He coughed slightly, feeling a little awkward under Feng Jiutian's gaze: "As the National Preceptor of Nanning, you should learn more about the family relationships among the four nations."

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiutian understood. It turned out that it was because they needed to keep track of the relationships between families in other countries at all times, and also to stay informed of various news in order to prevent any unforeseen events.

After thinking for a moment, Feng Jiutian suddenly felt that Qi Mo had also had a tough time, but her nature prevented her from saying anything else. She simply patted Qi Mo's shoulder calmly, her face expressionless, and said—

"Thanks for your hard work."

Qi Mo: "Hmm?"

What's so hard about it? He suddenly couldn't quite figure out what Feng Jiutian was thinking; perhaps they just didn't have anything to talk about.

Qi Mo lowered his head again, secretly pondering whether he should create some common topics.

He hadn't spent much time with Feng Jiutian, but he could see some unique qualities in her. Although she seemed extremely cold and ruthless, and her words were very harsh, she was clear about right and wrong and could make decisions in an instant.

For example, when he was switched to the position of being attacked by the Mist Demon, Feng Jiutian instantly neutralized all the attacks, even at the cost of his own meridians suffering backlash, which also shows his extreme loyalty and righteousness.
