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

Feng Jiutian snorted but didn't say anything.

She understood that Xuanji Zi must be feeling bad at the moment, so she deliberately said something else to divert Xuanji Zi's attention. Besides, Feng Jiutian wasn't the kind of person to hold a grudge. So what if she had disciples before? It wasn't like she really wanted to only take on her as her disciple. She wasn't angry at all!

Absolutely not!

"Hahaha……"

Xuanji Zi looked at Feng Jiutian's expression and couldn't help but laugh for a while. After a long while, he calmed down, lowered his head, and slowly uttered a few words, seemingly lost in thought.

"His name is Fu Yun, a name I personally chose for him."

Xuanjizi looked up, took a deep breath, and exhaled as if expressing her emotions. Then, in a somewhat dejected tone, she said, "When I found him, he was just the size of a dumpling. He had been abandoned in a snowdrift. I was looking for medicine when I heard the baby crying. My heart softened, so I took him back with me."

"That little dumpling was also very cute and had extremely high aptitude. He happened to have dual elemental roots of fire and wood, making him a natural talent for alchemy. I was overjoyed back then and spent three days and three nights thinking about a name for him."

“I found Fu Yun in a snowdrift. Snow is like white clouds, and lying in it felt like being on a cloud. So I named him Yun, meaning that he would stand on the cloud in the future.”

"But because his talent is too high, I thought he shouldn't be too sharp, so I gave him the surname Fu. This is to teach him to be patient and tolerant in all things, and not to be eager for quick success."

Xuanji Zi paused, then said somewhat indifferently, "What I never expected was that, under my careful cultivation, his temperament became more and more arrogant, but he was still very respectful to me, so I thought he would change."

"Until I obtained the Void Spirit Cauldron, although I couldn't make it recognize me as its master, I could still use it for my own purposes by relying on the closeness of our auras. But I didn't expect that Fu Yun would see me refining pills!"

"He discovered that I was using the legendary Void Spirit Cauldron, and a greedy thought arose in his heart. So he spread the news, which attracted thousands of people to hunt me down. Later, during the siege, he ambushed me and stabbed me in the heart with a sword, killing me on the spot."

"He even tried to imprison my soul, but fortunately I reacted in time and my soul broke free as soon as possible. He also failed to obtain the Void Spirit Cauldron. In order to stabilize my soul, I became the cauldron spirit of the Void Spirit Cauldron and have long since merged with it."

At this point, Feng Jiutian understood everything that followed. The Void Spirit Cauldron eventually fell into her hands, and she became its master. Then, she and Xuanji Zi went through a series of events.

"Old man, I can earn your trust."

In the silence, Feng Jiutian looked at Xuanjizi and a bright smile appeared on his face: "I will tear that person to pieces for you."

Xuanji Zi didn't speak, but a hint of warmth appeared in her eyes.

Feng Jiutian also considered Xuanji Zi's soul problem, since it was bound to be unstable after just waking up. He only allowed Xuanji Zi to stay outside for a while before letting her go into the Void Spirit Cauldron to rest.

Xuanji Zi also woke up, and Jiu Yao's injuries were almost healed. Feng Jiutian then began to prepare to leave the Endless Domain and return to the Royal Academy.

However, before leaving, she went to Ling Sisi's courtyard one more time.

"Welcome, Domain Lord."

Ling Bai, who had been cured of the fire poison, looked quite well. Standing in front of Feng Jiutian, he no longer appeared as weak and frail as before, which made Feng Jiutian nod with satisfaction.

Feng Jiutian raised her hand, and a faint spiritual energy flowed from her palm. She touched Ling Bai's forehead with her hand and transmitted the restoration techniques, barrier techniques, and formation techniques that Ling Yuan had taught her into Ling Bai's mind in the form of secret manuals.

“This was left behind by Ling Yuan. He needed a successor who could restore the Ling family. I am not him, but you can be.”

Feng Jiutian looked at Ling Bai and stated the matter in a calm tone. In just one sentence, Ling Bai received the information in his mind and heard what Feng Jiutian said, so he was shocked and confused.

"But why... is it me?" Ling Bai was puzzled. He knew that there were more than just them in the Ling family's collateral branches. Feng Jiutian could have kept all these secret manuals to himself, and they would never have known.

Feng Jiutian thought for a moment and gave Ling Bai a very casual answer: "Probably because you look more pleasing to the eye, and your aptitude isn't bad after the fire poison is cleared. Just train hard."

Ling Bai's expression was somewhat shaken, his eyes shone brightly, and he stared at Feng Jiutian, nodding emphatically: "Alright, next time when the Domain Lord returns, he will definitely see my achievements!"

Feng Jiutian smiled but didn't say anything.

Next, she bid farewell to Ling Sisi and Yan Shien, and left the Endless Realm with Mo Qiniang.

At this moment, Feng Jiutian still remembered the reluctance on Sisi's face and her bright, lively eyes when she left.

Long, long afterward, when Feng Jiutian saw Ling Sisi again, she had transformed from an innocent, naive little girl into a worldly and ruthless woman; the blank sheet of paper had turned black.

At that time, Feng Jiutian could only sigh and say, "The word 'love' can be so harmful."

After leaving the Endless Realm, Mo Qiniang was like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins. She was not shy at all and wanted to see and touch everywhere. She especially liked to pester Feng Jiutian for spiritual fruits, just like a cat.

However, Feng Jiutian also discovered a problem: Mo Qiniang seemed to be exceptionally sensitive to treasures, able to smell the fragrance of spiritual fruits or find some precious spiritual herbs in the shortest amount of time. This made Feng Jiutian feel both curious and wary.

Mo Qiniang's abilities must not be known to others. She is still young, and if those with evil intentions find out, they might try to take advantage of her.

After discovering this problem, Feng Jiutian had a deep conversation with Mo Qiniang, who also said that she would not reveal it so obviously in front of outsiders.

However, Mo Qiniang has become quite unrestrained these past few days while spending time with Feng Jiutian, and Jiuyao is undoubtedly the one who benefits the most.

Jiuyao is the incarnation of the ancient Taotie, who loves to eat all the precious things in the world. When he first saw Mo Qiniang, Jiuyao almost lost control because of the fragrance emanating from her!

Mo Qiniang is the Holy Maiden of the Gu Mo Clan, and her aura is quite unique. This made Feng Jiutian put in some effort to place a seal on Mo Qiniang to seal off her aura and prevent it from leaking out. Only then did Jiuyao feel better.

Whenever Jiu Yao saw Mo Qiniang, he couldn't help but drool, looking conflicted as if he wanted to eat her but couldn't.

Fortunately, Mo Qiniang was good at finding treasures, and most of the spiritual fruits she found ended up in Jiu Yao's stomach. Only then did Jiu Yao reluctantly say that he would not eat Mo Qiniang.

She wanted Mo Qiniang to continue finding delicious food for her.
