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

For the past two hundred years, Yan Shi'en has rarely appeared in public, and Ling Yang has been the one handling things. Even if the Endless Domain is to be reclaimed, Ling Yang cannot be sidelined in a short time.

Feng Jiutian couldn't help but feel that this was a bit troublesome.

She usually hates all sorts of convoluted things. If everything in this world could be resolved with a fight, Feng Jiutian would definitely choose to fight.

But the current situation doesn't allow her to choose.

The three quickly arrived at the main hall of the mansion, and before even entering, they could hear several voices discussing something inside—

"We've forcibly entered the Domain Lord's Mansion this time. If the steward of the Endless Domain is displeased, we'll probably have to return disappointed again..."

"In the past two hundred years, he has never given us a kind look. We have apologized and offered compensation, but it has been to no avail. He simply refuses to see us!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shi'en suddenly stopped, his brows furrowing deeply once again. This time, his face turned completely black, and he looked down at Ling Yang coldly.

Ling Yang opened his mouth as if he wanted to argue something, but Yan Shi'en raised his hand and sealed his mouth shut.

Feng Jiutian guessed that it was probably the 'apology and compensation' that the person was talking about. Yan Shien probably had never heard of or seen any of it.

Ling Yang was unable to move or speak, and Yan Shi'en also stood motionless outside the door, so the three of them stood outside the door and continued to listen.

A voice shouted indignantly, "If we don't succeed this time, we might as well just turn back and go home!"

"Nonsense!"

"Have you completely forgotten what our master said when he sent us out?"

"Stop arguing!" A slightly calmer voice came out and said, "We, the Deep Sea Prison, have already lowered our stance enough. If they still don't cooperate this time, then we will go back and never come back. Anyway, there will always be places in the Endless Realm that need our help in the future."

"That's true. Although our Deep Sea Prison is dangerous, it is well-forged and its weapons are powerful. If a real fight breaks out, they may not be able to defeat us!"

"Shh—have you forgotten they also have a deity?"

"Our master is also a god, what's there to panic about? Although the management of our Deep Sea Prison was inadequate two hundred years ago, we've endured countless cold shoulders from them in the past two hundred years..."

The voice sounded indignant as it spoke: "Especially that Ling Yang, he's two-faced, he's cheated us out of so many things!"

"Alright, shut up. We're on someone else's turf, so say less."

The calm voice coughed appropriately, reminding everyone to shut up and not say anything more.

The pressure around Yan Shi'en decreased as these people spoke, not directed at the people inside, but directly at Ling Yang.

Ling Yang was sweating profusely and unable to speak. Yan Shi'en swept past him, coldly tossing out a few words: "I'll deal with you later!"

After saying this, Yan Shi'en went into the hall.

Feng Jiutian stopped in her tracks, her gaze lingering on Ling Yang for a few seconds. Her gaze was so cold it seemed to penetrate, making Ling Yang feel a sense of crisis.

"Ah."

Feng Jiutian glanced at it twice, let out a cold laugh with an ambiguous meaning, and then followed Yan Shien into the hall.

Ling Yang inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief, then seemed to realize something, and his expression turned sinister.

……

Feng Jiutian followed Yan Shien into the hall and looked up to see five men and women dressed similarly sitting inside.

Upon seeing Yan Shi'en appear, the five men immediately sat up straight.

One of the handsome young men stood up, cupped his hands in greeting to Yan Shi'en, and bowed respectfully: "Left Protector of the Deep Sea Prison, greetings."

"Ah."

Yan Shi'en didn't even lift his eyelids, gave a nonchalant reply, and sat down in the main seat.

The atmosphere instantly became somewhat tense. The left protector coughed, looked at Yan Shi'en's expression, and pondered what to say.

Feng Jiutian took a second look at the Left Protector. The man's voice was calm and steady. He was the one who had told everyone to shut up in the hall just now. He must be a leader among these people.

After giving Yan Shi'en only one more glance, Feng Jiutian looked away, concealed his aura, and stood quietly behind him.

Yan Shi'en lowered his head, took a sip of the spiritual tea, and slammed the teacup down on the table with a loud thud.

"Speak, what is the purpose of your visit?"

His voice was devoid of emotion, which was also at Feng Jiutian's behest, mainly to test the attitudes of these people.

However, Yan Shi'en's attitude towards these people at this time was indeed like that.

Whether he intentionally or unintentionally slapped the people of the Deep Sea Prison or plotted against them over the past two hundred years, his opinion of the Deep Sea Prison will never diminish; these people are inherently cruel, and he has no one to blame but himself.

Even if the Endless Realm made a mistake in the last two hundred years, Yan Shi'en, as the steward of the Endless Realm, who has managed the people of the Endless Realm for hundreds of years, how could he easily bow down to the juniors of the Deep Sea Prison? That would definitely damage the reputation of the Endless Realm.

Therefore, he would never lower himself to be polite to the people of the Deep Sea Prison.

Yan Shi'en would not talk about Ling Yang's embezzlement; he would teach him a lesson behind closed doors and would not allow others to laugh at him.

Especially those from the Deep Sea Prison.

Feng Jiutian understood Yan Shien's thoughts at a glance. While feeling helpless, she was also gratified. This old man was definitely a wise man and a protective one, but he was not a fool.

Otherwise, he would have beaten all five of them out the moment he walked in, and they wouldn't have had a chance to speak.

The Left Protector coughed lightly, glanced cautiously at Yan Shi'en, and said, "Since Steward Yan is not beating around the bush, I will speak frankly as well."

"You know that the Deep Sea Prison is short of supplies. Although we had some minor frictions in the past, two hundred years have passed. We hope that Steward Yan can put aside past grievances and make a deal with the Deep Sea Prison."

Seemingly fearing that Yan Shi'en would not agree, the Left Protector added, "Steward Yan, rest assured, we will never take advantage of the Endless Realm."

This performance made Feng Jiutian find the Left Protector of the Deep Sea Prison quite interesting.

You see, she had overheard them talking outside the door, and their tone and content were extremely agitated. But now that they were actually facing Yan Shi'en, they were all like mice seeing a cat, very obedient.

Yan Shi'en glanced at Feng Jiutian without leaving a trace. After Feng Jiutian gestured for him to continue, Yan Shi'en coughed and said, "Then tell me your transaction plan."

"Yes!"

Gong Xifei readily agreed and began to speak eloquently...
