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

The ability to see ghosts is a double-edged sword.

If you hurt someone, you will naturally suffer the consequences.

Therefore, Qi Mo needs to constantly enhance his divine sense to fight against the Yin-Yang Eyes. The backlash is too strong, which will only make him more and more ruthless and indifferent.

Being God's favorite isn't so easy.

Qi Mo did not want to be born with the ability to see spirits. The ability to see spirits is subject to reincarnation, and because it was a gift from heaven, Qi Mo could not get rid of it.

However, the power that the ability to see ghosts can bring is also limitless, but this comes at a price, and that price is...

Life Soul.

The Yin-Yang Eyes rely on the life soul for power, so people who possess the Yin-Yang Eyes don't live very long; the time they live is the length of time their life soul is absorbed.

But they will never reveal this secret; only those with the ability to see ghosts will know it.

This is a weakness.

No one would expose their weaknesses, let alone someone with the Yin-Yang Eyes who is targeted by everyone; they would only protect themselves even more.

For the first time ever, Qi Mo actually said to Feng Jiutian, "The cold nature of the Moon-Closing Grass can calm down the Yin-Yang Eyes for a while, so I need the Moon-Closing Grass, as well as all kinds of cold-natured spiritual medicines."

"I see……"

Feng Jiutian didn't ask any further questions. He directly took out the Moon-Closing Grass, which was frozen to preserve its medicinal properties, from his spatial storage and said, "I have other spiritual herbs here. The problem with your meridians isn't serious. You can take this Moon-Closing Grass and use it for now."

"Ok?"

Qi Mo stared blankly at the Moon-Closing Grass in Feng Jiutian's hand, remaining silent for a long time.

Feng Jiutian stretched out his hand again, urging impatiently, "Hurry up and take it, don't dawdle, I don't lack this little bit of spiritual medicine."

"I……"

Qi Mo seemed to want to say something more.

"If there is a real need, we can look for it then."

Feng Jiutian interrupted Qi Mo directly, saying coldly, "It's just a Moon-Closing Grass, don't make me look down on it."

Upon hearing this, Qi Mo remained silent, quietly taking the Moon-Closing Grass and softly saying, "Thank you."

He wasn't one to be coy, and his Yin-Yang Eyes had previously come into contact with the poisonous fog, causing some disturbances and rapidly absorbing the power within him. He also needed the Moon-Closing Grass at that time, so he couldn't refuse.

After receiving the Moon-Closing Grass, Qi Mo remained silent for a long time. He looked at Feng Jiutian and suddenly burst out laughing.

The muffled laughter made Feng Jiutian's face flush slightly, but by nature, she could only coldly utter a "Shut up" before hurriedly leaving.

In doing so, it looks more like they're fleeing in disarray.

Qi Mo stood there, his smile widening. He looked down at the Moon-Closing Grass, and a feeling of warmth welled up in his heart for the first time ever.

This warm feeling seemed to be mixed with a subtle and strange emotion, making him feel a little dangerous, yet also containing a hint of expectation.

A very unfamiliar emotion.

But it's not bad.

Qi Mo felt that he liked it.

After passing through the waterfall and entering the cave, Feng Jiutian began to meditate and cultivate. Xuanji Zi teased him a few times, but Feng Jiutian ignored him. Feeling bored, Xuanji Zi hummed and entered the Void Spirit Cauldron.

Feng Jiutian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The old man has been acting strangely lately, so Feng Jiutian could only pretend not to hear him.

……

Just as Feng Jiutian and Qi Mo were both doing their own things, a figure darted out of the jungle outside the island's barrier.

Fu Lingyue paced back and forth at the entrance to the barrier where Feng Jiutian and Qi Mo had disappeared, somewhat bewildered, but she could not see the barrier that had originally appeared. She was shocked, but more than anything, she was puzzled.

After trying every possible method to find the barrier and the island but failing, he let out a deep breath, gave up, and rested at the spot where Feng Jiutian and Qi Mo had disappeared.

He refused to believe he couldn't wait for those two people to appear!

……

The night passed.

Feng Jiutian withdrew from her cultivation and began to learn how to control the Crimson Lotus Night Flame with her spiritual power. Ever since what happened with Qi Mo, Feng Jiutian had always felt uneasy. No matter what it was, it was always better to have it under control.

Therefore, Feng Jiutian infused elemental power into her every strand, ensuring that even if it slipped from her grasp, she could still control it with ease.

"Master, may I take Lingling out for a walk?"

The Snow Demon's voice echoed in Feng Jiutian's mind, saying, "It seems to be a bit restless lately. Going out for a walk should help it unleash some of its true nature."

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiutian realized that she had neglected her contracted beasts recently, and felt somewhat ashamed. She raised her hand and released all the contracted beasts except for Jiuyao.

"You may wander around here. I will call you back if you wish to leave."

Both Feng Jiutian and his contracted beast were excited, and smiles unconsciously appeared on their faces. Standing in the sunlight, they looked exceptionally gentle.

But this was just a flash in the pan.

In an instant, however, her expression turned icy cold, as if she had never smiled at all.

"Girl, you should smile more."

Sitting on a tree branch, Xuanji Zi couldn't help but say, "You always have such a stern face. You've had a stern face ever since I took you as my disciple. Can't you smile a little more?"

"The old man is talking more and more."

Feng Jiutian glanced at Xuanji Zi and said somewhat speechlessly.

Xuanji Zi snorted, didn't answer, raised her eyebrows and turned her head away, not saying anything more. Feng Jiutian didn't say anything either.

Qi Mo was tending to the medicinal herbs on the island and did not appear before Feng Jiutian.

A month passed quickly.

Besides refining pills, Feng Jiutian spent a long time cultivating under the waterfall on the island this month. Finally, when she fell into the water from the waterfall again, she heard the light she had seen under the pool before.

I don't know what that is...

Feng Jiutian, after estimating that his strength had improved and that his investigation would no longer be so thoroughly blocked, cautiously dived to the bottom of the pool.

A faint, icy blue light shimmered at the bottom of the pool as Feng Jiutian slowly approached.

The absence of a barrier this time startled Feng Jiutian for a moment, but only for a second. She then submerged again, slowly approaching the light—

What came into view was an ice-blue sphere covered in silt and dust!

The object was about the size of a fist. When Feng Jiutian reached out to touch it, he could feel a chill emanating from within, and he couldn't help but shiver.

In an instant, she used her spiritual power to create a protective layer on her hands, shielding them from the bone-chilling cold.

Without looking at it for long, she threw the bead into the Void Spirit Cauldron, and it floated back to the surface of the pool.

"call!"

Feng Jiutian emerged from the water, took a breath, and shook the water droplets off his head. Xuanjizi looked at Feng Jiutian and smiled, saying, "How come you took so long to find the treasure down there?"
