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

Although many demons like to disguise themselves as humans, it doesn't mean that all demons can disguise themselves perfectly. There are also some demons that will expose their demonic aura, such as the demon that Xi Xue pointed at, which exposed its demonic aura.

The demon trembled, as if gritting its teeth, and said, "I am human, not a demon! No!"

As he spoke, he suddenly looked up at Feng Jiutian, his face still filled with lingering anger, and said, "I was kept by that demon for almost twenty years, but I am not a demon!"

He looked down at his hands and said, "He fed me many things, one of which was his own blood. I don't know what he did, but he filled my body with demonic energy. If I didn't have my memories, I would almost think I was a demon!"

"I am a human being, the legitimate royal family member of the Western Xuan Kingdom, the Second Prince Luo Cheng!"

Luo Cheng, his eyes bloodshot and breathing heavily, roared repeatedly at Feng Jiutian, "I am a human! Not a demon!"

"Blood?"

Feng Jiutian, however, grasped the key point Luo Cheng had made and felt somewhat puzzled: why would the man in black robes be feeding someone blood...

Feng Jiutian put away the fine snow and said in a low voice, "I am the one who came to the secret realm for training. Do not resist. Let me take a look for you."

Upon hearing this, a hint of anticipation appeared in Luo Cheng's eyes. Feng Jiutian reached out and placed her hand on Luo Cheng's forehead, her spiritual energy slowly flowing into Luo Cheng's body through her palm to examine him.

"Demon blood..."

In an instant, Feng Jiutian murmured two words.

As she continued to probe deeper, what she discovered became increasingly alarming, even terrifying.

Half of Luo Cheng's bloodline has been replaced with demon blood!

Due to the bloodline replacement, Luo Cheng has lost the ability to perceive pain, and the power within his body seems to have been sealed by something, making his abilities extremely weak.

Feng Jiutian also noticed something in Luo Cheng's heart...

"This is……"

Feng Jiutian's divine sense lingered on Luo Cheng's heart for two more seconds, and after getting a clear look at the black mist, he exclaimed in shock, "It's a Soul-Swapping Array!"

The Soul-Swapping Array is also known as the Body-Snatching Array. If Feng Jiutian had not inherited Ling Yuan's array techniques, she might not have known that such an insidious array existed in the world.

Upon seeing the Soul-Swapping Array, Feng Jiutian could almost immediately deduce what the man in black robes intended to do.

The man in black robes was already severely injured. No matter how much essence he absorbed, it would all be for naught. Even if he filled the gaps, the essence would still be lost. So, the man in black robes chose the person with the strongest physique and strength among everyone who entered the secret realm, captured him, fed him with blood, and turned him into a demon.

However, this process takes a very long time, so even now Luo Cheng has only had half of his demon blood replaced. The soul-swapping array has been planted in Luo Cheng's heart. When Luo Cheng is completely transformed into a demon in the later stages, the black-robed man can easily swap his soul with just a thought.

The man in black robes wanted to exchange his soul for a new body, and Luo Cheng was his choice!

Unfortunately, it was too late.

"...Soul-swapping array?"

Luo Cheng was speechless for a moment, as if he couldn't speak. Then, his figure trembled slightly as he asked, "What is the Soul-Swapping Array?"

"The demon that captured you wants to exchange your soul, but you haven't fully become a demon yet, so there's no need to worry."

Feng Jiutian looked down at Luo Cheng and said in an almost indifferent voice, "If you know how to leave the secret realm, I will extract the demon blood for you, restore your strength, and break this Soul-Swapping Array. How about it?"

This deal is a good one, and Feng Jiutian believes Luo Cheng won't refuse.

Unexpectedly, Luo Cheng gave a wry smile, shook his head, and said, "How would I know the exit of the secret realm? I just sensed that the demon had lost its breath, so I took the opportunity to escape."

Feng Jiutian looked coldly at Luo Cheng, a sneer escaping her lips.

lie.

A person who doesn't know their destination is flying in a very purposeful direction? Even Feng Jiutian didn't believe this.

Luo Cheng must know something to keep rushing in one direction.

"It seems you don't dislike the demonic aura around you."

Feng Jiutian turned and fled, coldly saying, "I don't want to talk to someone who isn't sincere, and I'm not one to be overly compassionate. Farewell!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Cheng felt a little flustered and looked up as if to say something, but Feng Jiutian's figure had already left.

Luo Cheng couldn't utter the "I said" that was stuck in his throat, and Feng Jiutian had vanished without a trace.

He was completely panicked.

Luo Cheng had thought that his tragic experiences would evoke some pity in the female mage, but he never expected her to be so cold and heartless!

The presence of the black-robed man could no longer be sensed in the secret realm, so he was safe. However, there were no other living people in the secret realm, and Luo Cheng was eager to know everything outside, so he could only start with Feng Jiutian.

But now he has fallen out with Feng Jiutian.

Judging from the other party's attitude, they probably wouldn't pay any more attention to him, and Luo Cheng couldn't help but start to panic. What's more, he still had the blood of a demon in his body, and without Feng Jiutian's help, how could he dispel it?

Luo Cheng felt a little regretful. He had said those words almost subconsciously. You can't know what someone is really thinking.

Luo Cheng was thinking of himself, while Feng Jiutian was disgusted by this tactic of feigning indifference to lure him in.

Feng Jiutian has always hated people who say one thing but mean another. Usually, such people will not open their hearts to you and may even stab you in the back.

Moreover, there were only her and Luo Cheng in this secret realm. If Feng Jiutian wanted to do something, she would have already made her move!

Therefore, Feng Jiutian's attitude was quite clear: if Luo Cheng didn't tell the truth, she would never show up.

……

After leaving Luo Cheng, Feng Jiutian turned around and hurriedly headed towards the canyon they had just visited.

She learned from Luo Cheng that during the years the man in black robes imprisoned him, Luo Cheng must have lived in that canyon. Logically, there should be something in the canyon.

Feng Jiutian hurried over and sealed off her senses of smell as soon as she entered the canyon, as she found the smell inside extremely unpleasant.

Following the path from where Luo Cheng emerged, Feng Jiutian actually discovered a hidden cave.

This cave is hidden in a sheltered spot, and its existence is impossible to discover without careful observation among the rocky cliffs.

Feng Jiutian raised her hand and opened the barrier at the entrance of the cave, then carefully stepped inside.

"His-"

The demonic python perched on Feng Jiutian's shoulder and let out two inexplicable cries, causing Feng Jiutian to become wary and look around.

However, the cave was extremely dark, and there was nothing there at a glance.

Apart from a stone bed and a desk, there was really nothing else. Feng Jiutian was not giving up, and she wanted to find out if there was anything similar to an array.
