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

If the Mo clan chief were to send Mo Qiniang, a five-year-old child, out alone, he would not feel at ease. That is why he delayed sending her out for a while. However, the recent riots of the spirit snakes have become more and more obvious, and Mo Qiniang has no choice but to be sent out.

Feng Jiutian's arrival gave Chief Mo an opportunity.

Chief Mo knew he was grasping at straws in his desperation, but Mo Qiniang was still so young, and he didn't want her to follow in Mo Saniang's footsteps...

"This……"

Feng Jiutian hesitated for a moment, after all, the place she was going to was not a safe place, and Mo Qiniang would be in more danger.

"Chief, please stop talking. I'll just take Xiao Qi with me!"

The middle-aged man seemed to have made a decision, his face showing a resolute expression, and he hugged Mo Qiniang tightly.

Not knowing the reason, Feng Jiutian first explained to Chief Mo, "Chief Mo, it's not that I don't want to take Mo Qiniang with me, but the place I'm going to this time... is the Deep Sea Prison."

Chief Mo knew what the Deep Sea Prison was, and his expression immediately dimmed.

Finally, he let out a deep breath.

"Sigh... Oh well."

Chief Mo gently patted Mo Qiniang's head, his eyes filled with affection as he looked at the little girl: "It's all fate..."

"Grandpa, Xiaoqi isn't afraid!"

Mo Qiniang kept staring at Feng Jiutian and said with a grin, "I really like this sister's scent, and even if there's danger, Xiaoqi will run away, so Grandpa, don't worry about Xiaoqi!"

"Ugh……"

Chief Mo sighed heavily again, saying nothing. The middle-aged man leaned against Mo Qiniang, his mood also low.

Finally, the middle-aged man's lips trembled slightly as he uttered, "After Xiao Qi goes out... don't forget to practice diligently."

Perhaps unsure how to express his emotions, the middle-aged man didn't say anything more. He simply moved closer to Mo Qiniang, and all his hostility towards Feng Jiutian disappeared.

Mo Xuan was not an unreasonable person. Since Mo Qiniang was born, he knew that his daughter was a saintess, and being a saintess was naturally extremely difficult.

The holy maidens of each generation took the clan leader's surname, but it just so happens that Mo Xuan also has the surname Mo, so his daughter is considered to have taken his surname.

The Holy Maiden of the Gu Mo Clan began to grow up after the age of five. Because the divine snake followed the Holy Maiden, the blood aura on the Holy Maiden's body during her growth was something that some of the Gu poisonous spirit snakes in the clan longed for.

However, the Holy Maiden is young and lacks the strength to conceal her aura, causing the spirit worms and snakes within the clan to become violent and even harm her.

Even though the Gu Mo clan has lived in seclusion in the valley for generations, they would never lag behind in the crafting of spirit Gu, so it would be dangerous for Mo Qiniang to stay in the clan.

Leaving the valley was also for Mo Qiniang's safety. When she turned fifteen, the divine snake would suppress the aura on her body, or she could return to the clan only after she had cultivated to a certain level and was able to control the flow of her aura.

The reason for the existence of the Holy Maiden of the Gu Mo Clan is to take care of the divine serpent and protect the Gu Mo Clan. The Holy Maiden herself can also control all Gu creatures in the world and is immune to all poisons, making her a very special existence.

Once outsiders discover Mo Qiniang's special nature, she will definitely be exploited, just like... Mo Saniang.

The reason Mo San Niang worked for the empire back then was because she had left home at a young age, was naive and easily deceived by people in the empire, and was even branded with a divine mark.

If Mo San Niang hadn't noticed something was wrong and gone back to the Gu Mo clan to find the clan leader to remove the divine consciousness mark on her body, she probably would have been completely controlled by the empire!

Mo Xuan's eyes reddened slightly at the thought of Mo San Niang...

"Please forgive my past rudeness!"

While Feng Jiutian was still talking to Clan Chief Mo, Mo Xuan suddenly knelt down in front of Feng Jiutian with a "thud," lowered his head, and said in a deep voice, "Little Qi is still young and needs the guests' care in everything. Please don't hold it against me for anything I did to Little Qi..."

Although Feng Jiutian couldn't understand the grief of her daughter's impending departure, she was touched by Mo Xuan's actions.

“I’m not that petty. Get up first.”

Feng Jiutian glanced at Mo Xuan, then beckoned to Mo Qiniang: "Come on, it's time to go."

Mo Xuan stood up silently without saying a word. Mo Qiniang tugged at Mo Xuan's sleeve and said sweetly, "Father, don't worry about Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi will take good care of herself!"

"good……"

Mo Xuan practically forced the word out of his throat, his hoarse voice slowly spreading through the air. Feng Jiutian sighed silently, not wanting to disturb their separation.

After a while, Mo Qiniang and Feng Jiutian, who had been prepared, bid farewell to Chief Mo and Mo Xuan, walked out of the valley's barrier, and headed towards the Deep Sea Prison.

Seeing that Mo Qiniang was somewhat depressed, Feng Jiutian called out Lingling to keep her company. Lingling had been eating and playing well during this time and was growing well. Her strength had also reached the sixth level. Although she was still a child, her body was already extremely large.

Originally, magical beasts were extremely disgusted with humans and would never allow humans other than their masters to ride on their backs. However, Lingling seemed to be very interested in Mo Qiniang. Since she came out, she had been sniffing around Mo Qiniang and even let Mo Qiniang ride on her back!

Mo Qiniang was not in a good mood about Lingling's appearance, and three days passed without her saying a word.

Feng Jiutian wasn't good at comforting people, especially a child, and didn't know what to say to Mo Qiniang.

Leaving her father and familiar place had always been a source of fear for Mo Qiniang, but she kept it to herself so as not to worry Chief Mo and Mo Xuan.

Upon reaching the edge of the Deep Sea Prison barrier, Feng Jiutian patted Mo Qiniang's head and asked the endless sea, "Are you afraid?"

Mo Qiniang's small body trembled slightly. Looking at the sea monsters constantly churning on the surface of the sea, she swallowed hard and said firmly, "I'm not afraid!"

"Father said I am the Holy Maiden of the Gu Mo Clan, and I must protect my people... I cannot be afraid!"

Feng Jiutian noticed a word—'cannot'.

Mo Qiniang said "cannot be afraid" instead of "will not be afraid". "Cannot" means that she is forcing herself to grow up and forcing herself not to be afraid.

Moreover, Feng Jiutian could tell from Mo Qiniang's slightly trembling body that Mo Qiniang was actually terrified of these sea beasts, yet she still did not back down.

"When you are powerless, you can choose to be afraid occasionally."

Just as Feng Jiutian was speaking, a hideous sea beast suddenly surged up from the sea. Feng Jiutian pointed at the fleeting sea beast and asked Mo Qiniang, "Did you see that sea beast?"

Mo Qiniang pursed her small lips, tears welling in her almond-shaped eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "I...I saw it..."
