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

Feng Jiutian felt that this deal was worthwhile.

However, she had one more condition...

"Cooperation is possible."

Feng Jiutian suddenly spoke up, a piece of paper appearing in her hand. She walked over and placed the paper on a small table next to Gong Xifei, saying, "But you need to find at least 80% of the medicinal herbs listed here."

"Who are you!"

Before Gong Xifei could speak, the woman sitting to the side impatiently glanced at Feng Jiutian from head to toe and said with a look of disdain, "We are talking to Steward Yan. Who gave you the right to interrupt, you poor brat! Get out of here!"

Feng Jiutian's expression turned cold.

"Jiya'er!"

Seeing this, Gong Xifei shouted sternly, "How dare you yell at Steward Yan! Apologize now!"

Although he said this, Gong Xifei's eyes remained on Feng Jiutian. He had a vague guess in his heart, but he dared not believe it.

When Ji Ya'er heard Gong Xifei reprimand her, she stared back in disbelief. Seeing Gong Xifei's serious expression, she turned her head and gave a cold snort.

"She's just a girl, what's there to protect about her!"

Ji Ya'er's expression was somewhat distorted due to jealousy, but she was still trying her best to control her emotions. She glared fiercely at Feng Jiutian, who was standing not far from Gong Xifei, and then laughed sarcastically.

Feng Jiutian remained calm, but Yan Shien was enraged.

"boom!"

Yan Shi'en slammed his teacup heavily onto the table, and his cold voice rang out: "It seems that the Deep Sea Prison's sincerity in cooperation is nothing more than this!"

Yan Shi'en is a person who values ​​status and etiquette extremely, especially since Feng Jiutian is the domain lord of the Endless Domain. Although her identity has not yet been revealed, even so, given Ji Ya'er's attitude, Yan Shi'en cannot tolerate it!

"Please calm down, steward!"

Gong Xifei quickly apologized, then suppressed his anger and said coldly to Ji Ya'er, "It seems that the master has become lax in disciplining you lately. You've ruined this deal, and you'll be in big trouble!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiutian clearly saw a trace of fear in Ji Ya'er's eyes, as if she was wary of something. Reluctantly, she weakly uttered the three words "I'm sorry" to Feng Jiutian.

However, Feng Jiutian didn't take it to heart. People like Ji Ya'er would never realize their mistakes, and the apologies they were forced to make were not sincere at all.

Such people only beg for mercy when they are about to die or encounter something they are extremely afraid of; they are truly despicable.

Therefore, Feng Jiutian didn't even bother to respond to Ji Ya'er's apology. He still maintained his cold demeanor, pointed to the paper on the table, and said to Gong Xifei, "Take a look first."

"Yes."

Gong Xifei guessed Feng Jiutian's identity. Although he was somewhat skeptical, he still respectfully picked up the papers from the small table and scanned them—

"This...this is impossible!"

After scanning the entire list at a glance, Gong Xifei's shocked voice rang out. He looked up at Feng Jiutian, his expression changed, and even his tone became somewhat excited: "Miss, every single medicinal herb on this list is a rare and precious treasure. How is it possible for us to gather them all in just a few days!"

Feng Jiutian was quite familiar with the prescriptions in the "Xuanling Tiangen Chu Pian" (First Chapter of the Mysterious Spirit Heavenly Root). Spiritual medicines for repairing the soul were also very hard to find. Feng Jiutian only had two of them at the moment. However, Xuanjizi's injury could not wait.

Feng Jiutian didn't know how much Xuanjizi had shielded her in the secret realm, but the fact that Xuanjizi didn't even have time to finish explaining things before falling asleep made Feng Jiutian realize that his injury this time was probably not simple.

However, Xuanji Zi was sleeping deep within the Void Spirit Cauldron, and even she would be pushed back by the restriction, unable to detect Xuanji Zi's soul injury. Baihu also told her this, which is why she had no choice but to gather the medicinal materials in the shortest possible time.

The sooner the better, Feng Jiutian didn't want to delay.

"Although the Deep Sea Prison is dangerous and has very little land area, it should be able to provide some rare and precious materials, and..."

Feng Jiutian looked at Gong Xifei quietly and sneered, "It's not us from the Endless Realm begging you now."

Feng Jiutian didn't think there was any good logic in wanting a horse to run without feeding it.

According to the terms of the deal, the Deep Sea Prison would provide weapons and military force to protect the Endless Domain, while the Endless Domain would have to provide some food, some spiritual medicine, and set up defensive formations for the Deep Sea Prison. Relatively speaking, the Endless Domain was at a disadvantage.

Although there are some troublemakers in the Endless Realm, they are few in number and the area is well-defended, making it very peaceful and stable, and it does not require any so-called protection.

Moreover, Feng Jiutian's cooperation with the Deep Sea Prison was not originally intended to protect the Endless Realm.

These words may sound cruel and heartless, but Feng Jiutian was merely paving the way for her future.

She is not a good person, much less a selfless one. The premise for ensuring her safety is that everything must be done without harming her.

Xuanji Zi once said to her on a leisurely afternoon: "Your aptitude is indeed quite good, but your heart... is really too ruthless, cold to an extreme. I just hope that being with another man can change your personality."

Feng Jiutian has no man.

She doesn't really want to change; she thinks things are fine as they are.

"Please allow us some time to discuss this, young lady..."

Gong Xifei cautiously glanced at Feng Jiutian again, sweat beading on his forehead. While wiping away the sweat, he organized the other four people to discuss countermeasures.

Feng Jiutian turned around and glanced at Yan Shien. Yan Shien was drinking spiritual tea, leisurely acting as a behind-the-scenes person. When he saw Feng Jiutian turn around, he winked twice, signaling Feng Jiutian to be even more ruthless.

Feng Jiutian almost lost her composure. She found a place to sit down, looked up at the roof beam, and felt a warmth rise in her heart.

Perhaps the world isn't entirely heartless.

What she sees, hears, and understands now is almost entirely related to the word 'love'.

It's not just about 'love', but also 'hate'.

Take Yan Shi'en's prejudice against the Deep Sea Prison, for example. This old man is very stubborn, and it will probably take at least ten years to get rid of this resentment.

……

Soon, Gong Xifei and his group finished their discussion in a quiet hushed manner.

"Whether these elixirs can be used for trade, I must ask my master for his opinion."

Gong Xifei took out a white conch shell and handed it to Feng Jiutian, saying solemnly, "This object is enchanted and can transmit sound over long distances. It is one of the magical artifacts developed by my Deep Sea Prison. If I find the answer, I will use this to contact you, Miss."

"However, this item is rare and the production process is quite complicated, so please take good care of it, young lady."

As Gong Xifei spoke, his ears turned red, seemingly because of the drawbacks of the magical artifact, which made him somewhat embarrassed.
