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

"The Gu Mo Clan!"

Instead of being afraid of being suppressed, Xiao Hao's eyes flashed with a disgusting light as he turned around and locked his gaze on Mo Qiniang.

"Just in time!"

Xiao Hao licked his lips, unable to contain his joy. Even the killing intent domain possessed by Feng Jiutian seemed to have less of an attraction for Xiao Hao.

You should know that Xiao Hao has been stuck at the peak of the God Venerable for several hundred years. The Holy Maiden of the Gu Mo Clan can help him break through. Once he breaks through this stage and becomes a God Venerable Breaker, then whatever he wants will be within his grasp.

You should know that each level after Grandmaster can exert a powerful pressure on those weaker than themselves, let alone Feng Jiutian, who is just a mere pseudo-God Breaker.

A true God of Destruction can destroy the world with a wave of his hand. This Feng Jiutian can only unleash half of the power of a God of Destruction, and even with only half of it, he can fight to a draw with him at the peak of the God Venerable realm. This has already proven just how powerful a God of Destruction is!

"boom!"

The divine serpent attacked Xiao Hao again, but Xiao Hao ignored the attack and flashed towards Mo Qiniang!

Feng Jiutian's expression changed, realizing something was wrong. His figure also disappeared from the spot, and the two of them, now transformed into two shadows, reached out to grab Mo Qiniang. Now it was a contest of who was faster!

However, neither Feng Jiutian nor Xiao Hao were able to touch Mo Qiniang. A dark shadow flashed by and almost just as Feng Jiutian was about to grab Mo Qiniang, it lifted her up!

"I'll keep an eye on this little girl for you, you two continue!"

Feng Jiutian recognized the voice; it belonged to the God Venerable Gu Luo.

Feng Jiutian didn't expect that this guy would also follow her trail. However, seeing Mo Qiniang's current weak state, it was probably related to the Divine Serpent. Feng Jiutian quickly turned around and shouted at the Divine Serpent, "Hurry up and leave with your Holy Maiden!"

"Humph!"

The divine serpent let out a heavy snort, as if it was dissatisfied with Feng Jiutian's command. However, it also knew Mo Qiniang's limits. The two attacks just now were already the limit. With Mo Qiniang's body, it could not attack freely and could only make a couple of bluffing moves.

The divine serpent still cared about Mo Qiniang's body and had its own considerations. After Feng Jiutian finished speaking, it disappeared into the air and left with Gu Luo's figure.

"Damn it!"

Xiao Hao stared at the spot where Gu Luo had disappeared, cursed under his breath, and got up to chase after her. Feng Jiutian quickly blocked his way, a blade of wind grazing Xiao Hao's cheek as he said coldly, "Don't even think about doing anything to her!"

"Ignorant brat! No one can stop me today!"

Xiao Hao's eyes were bloodshot, he was panting heavily, and his aura surged as he attacked Feng Jiutian without regard for anything else!

"You dare to block my opportunity? You must be tired of living!"

"You're comfortable using the opportunity to harm young children?" Feng Jiutian retorted sarcastically. Perhaps Feng Jiutian had hit the nail on the head, Xiao Hao stiffened, narrowed his eyes at Feng Jiutian, and his voice was tinged with murderous intent: "It seems that this island lord really can't let you leave the Deep Sea Prison alive!"

"boom!"

A huge explosion rang out, and the elemental power in Xiao Hao's hand exploded where Feng Jiutian had just been standing. Feng Jiutian narrowly dodged, but was still affected by the blast. She felt a pain in her heart and lungs and was swept away to the side by the shockwave.

Suddenly, a large hand caught Feng Jiutian as she stumbled backward, pulling her into an embrace. Feng Jiutian smelled a familiar scent emanating from the person, and she quickly looked up—

The man still wore the familiar, alluring silver mask, and a white robe. He was looking down at her, his voice still as wicked and arrogant as ever, yet somehow irritating as he spoke—

"My wife, your husband has come to the rescue!"

For a moment, Feng Jiutian lost control of his emotions, his eyes reddened, and he didn't know what to say, remaining silent for a long time.

Not long ago, Gu Luo said that Mo Shaoxie was seriously injured and had to lie in that coffin for half a month, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. How long has it been?

In less than half a day, Feng Jiutian saw Mo Shaoxie running out of the ice coffin. Was he out of his mind?

She couldn't quite tell whether she was moved or worried, but seeing Mo Shaoxie's arrival made her feel a little more relaxed. After relaxing, she felt a soreness all over her body, as if she had been crushed by something.

【373】

The immense energy within his body returned to his dantian. Having dominated for so long, Feng Jiutian's body was exhausted and he could no longer use this power.

Mo Shaoxie carried Feng Jiutian and placed her on a tree not far away. He brushed the fine hairs from Feng Jiutian's forehead and said softly, "My wife, rest assured. Leave the rest to your husband."

"you……"

Feng Jiutian's voice was somewhat hoarse. Before she could speak, Mo Shaoxie said again, "Wife, don't ask yet. How about I tell you everything after this is over?"

Feng Jiutian was silent for a while, then finally nodded and replied, "Okay."

She still had many doubts and questions in her heart, and Mo Shaoxie needed to answer them. So before that, Mo Shaoxie had to live well.

Feng Jiutian kept her head down and silently stuffed two top-grade pills into Mo Shaoxie's mouth. Her face was as cold as ice, but her movements were much gentler.

A smile flickered in Mo Shaoxie's eyes. He was flattered by Feng Jiutian's rare gentleness. Although the pill was of little use to him, he still swallowed it.

This is all thanks to his wife's kindness; he cannot waste it.

After taking the pill, Mo Shaoxie straightened up and turned around. The gentle look on his face, which he only showed when facing Feng Jiutian, vanished instantly. His aura became extremely cold, yet also subtly revealed a sinister charm. Under the cover of the mask, he became mysterious and unpredictable, or perhaps Mo Shaoxie himself was an extremely mysterious person.

He stared coldly at Xiao Hao and let out a sneer: "Xiao Hao, do you still remember me?"

Xiao Hao was initially fearless, but when Mo Shaoxie appeared, a look of shock suddenly appeared in his eyes. Then, when Mo Shaoxie turned around, this shock turned into fear, but deep in his eyes, there was still a trace of greedy ambition.

He wants to replace Mo Shaoxie! He wants to take over Mo Shaoxie's current position!

Feng Jiutian immediately understood the meaning behind Xiao Hao's gaze. She had seen too many such gazes before, but without exception, they all ended in failure.

Those who truly succeed in usurping power will hide their ambitions very well and will never expose them before they have the ability to resist or escape, as doing so would only hasten their demise!

Despite his reluctance, Xiao Hao still clenched his fists and gave a difficult bow, replying, "Your subordinate... dares not forget."

"I think you're pretty daring!"
