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

I didn't expect these people to be so tactless...

Feng Jiutian's expression was cold. Since they were courting death, Feng Jiutian would not stop them. Only when all the damned ones were dead would no one interfere with her business.

"Since they refuse to leave, that's their fate. Don't worry about whether they live or die, just let them be."

Feng Jiutian said coldly, "Whether they live or die is none of your business. You don't need to care too much. Just protect yourself."

It has to be said that Feng Jiutian has always portrayed the word 'ruthless' to the fullest extent. Yet, Gong Xifei finds it perfectly normal when she says this, as if Feng Jiutian is simply such a cold-hearted person...

but……

Gong Xifei glanced cautiously at Feng Jiutian, then at Mo Qiniang who was clinging to Lingling's back.

He always felt that Feng Jiutian wasn't as heartless as he seemed; there was still a soft spot in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have brought a little girl to such a dangerous place.

You should know that here, not only children, but even adults are considered a burden.

Not to mention that this child is not Miss Feng's biological son, it is very rare that she would take such good care of him.

"The Heavenly Fiend Pearl must have put in a lot of effort to seal off the island today. It's too weak to deal with us now. I'll set up a barrier in front of the tent later, and we'll rest here tonight. We'll go look for it again tomorrow."

The sky outside was gradually darkening. Feng Jiutian and Gong Xifei were not sleeping, but Mo Qiniang, being young, needed to rest in time.

Feng Jiutian would never let a child run around with her without getting enough rest.

"You can't kick me out now." Mo Qiniang had already silently heard what Gong Xifei said, and as Feng Jiutian carried her to the bed, she murmured, "I really can help you..."

"I understand, little saintess. Go to sleep now."

A rare gentleness flashed in Feng Jiutian's eyes as she looked at the soft and sweet Mo Qiniang, and she felt that the tender part of her heart was comforted.

Mo Qiniang fell asleep with soft moans, while Feng Jiutian carefully set up the barrier before meditating and resting inside the tent.

Just as Feng Jiutian had predicted, the Heavenly Fiend Pearl sealed off the island that night. No one could leave, and no one could enter. Some people ventured into the misty forest to investigate, but they never returned.

It's estimated that it was killed by the Heavenly Fiend Pearl and used as nourishment.

This means that the Heavenly Fiend Pearl, having absorbed a new batch of souls, now possesses power again and will soon launch an attack.

No one here is safe.

However, Feng Jiutian doesn't need to worry about those people. She only needs to keep an eye on Mo Qiniang and Gong Xifei. As a celestial master, Gong Xifei shouldn't need much care. Her main task is to protect Mo Qiniang.

The three of them got up early in the morning, packed their things, and then stepped out of the tent.

Stepping out of the tent, I saw that the people outside had all been poisoned to varying degrees by the mist's toxic gas, leaning to one side, their breathing very weak.

"How come you're all alright?"

Luo Yi was the first to spot Feng Jiutian and Gong Xifei, automatically ignoring Mo Qiniang. He pointed at Gong Xifei and said, "This fog is poisonous. Everyone here is poisoned. How could you not be poisoned?"

As if he had just realized something, his expression turned greedy and excited as he shouted at Gong Xifei, "You have the antidote for the poisonous mist on you, don't you? You are the Left Protector of the Deep Sea Prison, protecting us is your duty, hand it over! Hand it over!"

The people around him looked at Gong Xifei with great anticipation, which made Gong Xifei feel powerless. He said coldly, "I don't have the antidote on me."

"Impossible!" Luo Yi's voice became shrill: "How could you not have the antidote on you! How could you be alright without the antidote! You must have it!"

"Oh——"

With a whooshing sound, in the blink of an eye, Gong Xifei's sword, which was at his waist, was placed directly against Luo Yi's neck, pressing tightly against Luo Yi's carotid artery, successfully silencing him.

"Luo Yi! So you still remember that I am the Left Protector of the Deep Sea Prison? How dare you commit such an offense! What is your punishment?"

Gong Xifei's aura was sharp and imposing. It was clear that he had only been yielding to and ignoring Luo Yi before. For some reason, Gong Xifei was no longer willing to tolerate Luo Yi. He wanted Luo Yi to know what "fear" meant!

"Gong... Gong Xifei, no, Left Protector! Let's talk this out. Put down your sword first..."

A hint of fear flashed across Luo Yi's eyes. He tentatively reached out to touch Gong Xifei's sword, trying to keep it away from his neck.

The cold blade pressed against his vulnerable neck, as if Gong Xifei could kill him with the slightest move.

This was the first time Luo Yi had ever felt what 'killing intent' meant from Gong Xifei.

In the past, Gong Xifei would never have dared to openly attack him. He would have simply ignored his words or made a few sarcastic remarks. This was the first time he had ever attacked him so openly.

However, the instant Luo Yi's hand touched the blade, Gong Xifei pressed his hand down again and said coldly, "Don't try any tricks in front of me!"

"Gong Xifei, don't go too far! I am the second young master of the Luo family!"

"Unless my master personally orders me not to hurt you, it won't matter if you're the son of the Heavenly King!"

Gong Xifei's words were so domineering that they made Mo Qiniang's eyes sparkle.

She tugged at Feng Jiutian's sleeve, then looked down at Mo Qiniang, bent down, and waited for Mo Qiniang to whisper in her ear, "I suddenly think this brother is kind of handsome..."

"puff……"

Feng Jiutian was amused by her words, and the smile that suddenly bloomed on her fair and translucent face caught the eyes of everyone present, making them momentarily dazed.

Gong Xifei's heart skipped a beat uncontrollably, as if something had been touched, and a different color appeared in his eyes.

Feng Jiutian tapped Mo Qiniang's forehead: "Little girl, you know what handsome is now?"

"Of course I know!"

Mo Qiniang pouted and said loudly, "Just like Brother Gong Xifei right now, his domineering appearance is so handsome!"

No one dared to speak, but they felt inexplicably satisfied when they saw Gong Xifei holding the sword to Luo Yi's neck.

Who is Luo Yi?

He bullies the weak and fears the strong, stealing martial arts techniques and treasures, and humiliating vulnerable women—he's done all sorts of despicable things. He's also extremely jealous; he's a complete scoundrel.

Even Luo Yi's underlings present wished that Gong Xifei would just strike him down with his sword and end his life, then they would be free!
