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

Ji Qing had always been skeptical of Ji Shen's theory, but what he said made a lot of sense. In addition, Ji Qing had not yet found a way to make Feng Jiutian feel good about him, so it was not a bad idea to try Ji Shen's method first.

Feng Jiutian had no idea that in the brief moment Ji Qing stepped out, retracted her foot, and sat down, so many thoughts had raced through her mind. She had even been watching Ji Qing warily, her gaze shifting between Ji Shen and Ji Qing, and she spoke coldly—

How did you find me?

It should be noted that Feng Jiutian had concealed himself perfectly all the way, and was directly teleported from the secret realm of Xixuan Kingdom to the Endless Domain. He didn't even take a single step along the way, so he shouldn't have left any trace.

Moreover, Ji Qing and she had only met once since the Royal Academy Grand Competition, at the Yuancheng Auction House. Ji Qing had even been swindled out of a Bloodthirst Pill and its value by Ji Qing. If she had known the truth, she should have fought with Ji Qing long ago...

Why does this development seem a little different?

Ji Qing shyly took out a spatial pouch from her bosom and pushed it in front of Feng Jiutian, saying somewhat bashfully, "Back in Yuan City, I heard you say you wanted rare and precious materials. This is something I collected from the Tenglong Continent at a high price. Would you like to take a look?"

“That’s all my money.” Ji Shen reminded him without looking up, “Don’t forget how much you still owe.”

Ji Qing turned around and glared at Ji Shen: "Shut up! Don't disturb him while he's pursuing his dream girl!"

Feng Jiutian paused for a moment, looked at Ji Qing suspiciously, and asked in a voice that was still clear but had lost some of its coldness, "Are you sure it's for me?"

"I'm sure, take a look and see if you're satisfied!" Ji Qing cupped her face in her hands, smiling like a lovesick fool, which made Feng Jiutian even more silent.

She suspected that Ji Qing had been knocked senseless by her during the competition at the Royal Academy.

"You still haven't answered my question." Feng Jiutian tapped his hand on the table, asking impatiently, "How exactly did you find out where I am?"

"cough……"

Ji Qing coughed softly and said in a low voice, "Actually, when we were in Yuancheng, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to find you, so I specially put a Soul-Chasing Incense on you. With this little gadget, I can find your trail at any time."

"I had already found out that you were in Xixuan Kingdom and was heading there, but halfway there this little thing suddenly showed that you changed your route and came to the Endless Domain. A few days ago, I heard that the Star-Picking Tower was holding an alchemy conference, and thinking that you might go, I waited for you at the Star-Picking Tower."

Having said all that, Feng Jiutian guessed how Ji Qing had managed to catch up with him, and his expression turned cold.

She looked at the small spider that Ji Qing had placed on the table. How could such a tiny spider be able to track her location silently?

The thought that Feng Jiutian's location could be exposed at any moment made him feel even colder, which made Ji Qing even more uneasy.

After a long pause, Feng Jiutian tapped his index finger on the table and said coldly, "What's this thing called, and how do we solve it?"

She didn't want to be discovered every time she went somewhere; that wouldn't benefit her, but rather would be a hindrance.

"The Soul-Chasing Spider is a tracking treasure unique to the Ji family; no one else will have it, so you can rest assured..."

"Untie!"

Feng Jiutian's eyes turned cold, and a murderous aura emanated from her body. She hated the existence of something that could locate her at all times, so Feng Jiutian was determined to get rid of this thing!

"Okay, okay, I'll untie it. Don't be angry."

Ji Qing felt guilty and spoke politely, cutting her finger and drawing blood. The blood drifted towards Feng Jiutian, gradually forming a thin red mist around him. The Soul-Chasing Spider on the table slowly crawled over, sucked the red mist into its belly with a 'slurp', and then let out a burp.

After swallowing the red mist, the Soul-Chasing Spider slowly crawled back into the wooden box on the table and then remained motionless.

"Alright, the Soul-Chasing Incense on your body has been ingested by it. From now on, as long as you carry this little thing with you, it will immediately alert you if anyone puts something similar on you."

As Ji Qing said this, she watched as Feng Jiutian unhesitatingly pushed the wooden box in front of him, adding, "It's for you!"

"..."

Feng Jiutian rubbed her temples. The other party had already removed the Soul-Chasing Incense from her body, so she couldn't very well get angry...

Feng Jiutian's gaze fell on the spatial pouch on the table again, and he couldn't help but ask, "Do you have a strange habit of giving things away?"

"No, it's just for you." Ji Qing's smile was so irritating that Feng Jiutian felt a little itchy to hit her. Without looking at Ji Qing's expression, she paused for a second, then put away the Soul-Chasing Spider on the table. Without even glancing at the spatial pouch, she picked it up and tossed it to Ji Qing.

"Consider the Soul-Chasing Spider as compensation for the Soul-Chasing Incense you gave me. As for the contents of this spatial pouch, I can't accept them. I have no obligation to accept such a thing, so you can keep them yourself."

Ji Qing hurriedly caught the spatial pouch that Feng Jiutian threw to him, and subconsciously looked back at Ji Shen, hoping that the other party could give him some advice.

However, Ji Shen didn't even glance at him.

Ji Qing gritted her teeth in exasperation, glanced at the somewhat indifferent Feng Jiutian, thought for a moment, and then threw the spatial pouch into Feng Jiutian's arms before grabbing Ji Shen and running away.

"This was found for you. If you don't want it, just throw it away and don't come looking for me!"

When Feng Jiutian came to her senses, Ji Qing and Ji Shen had already disappeared. She took out the spatial pouch from her arms and felt speechless for a moment.

Meanwhile, Ji Qing, who had already run quite a distance, was still somewhat smug. He had given all the spiritual herbs he had found to Feng Jiutian, and now he was just waiting for Feng Jiutian to throw herself into his arms...

"Are you crazy?!" Ji Shen's angry shouts rang in my ears: "That's all money! Money! If you're going to give it away, can't you at least do it with some meaning?"

Ji Qing was stunned: "Is this gift... meaningless? Won't she remember me and fall in love with me from then on?"

Ji Shen looked at Ji Qing with a 'you're hopeless' gaze and said through gritted teeth, "Then you should also consider who you're sending this to..."

If it were any other woman, she would probably have gone mad upon seeing so many treasures, and might even have wanted to throw herself into their arms.

Feng Jiutian?

Ha ha.

That Feng Jiutian was clearly not someone to be trifled with. Ever since Ji Shen witnessed the explosion caused by Feng Jiutian fusing elements at the last auction, he had kept his distance from Feng Jiutian.

This kind of crazy woman is obviously a heartless and cold person. No matter how well he befriends her, she might still be very wary of him.
