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

"Want to go out?"

Before Feng Jiutian could move, Mo Shaoxie pushed his wheelchair out from behind the screen and, before Feng Jiutian could answer, took out a sachet from his sleeve and handed it to her: "Take this with you when you go out."

"what is this?"

Feng Jiutian looked at Mo Shaoxie suspiciously, took the sachet, and examined it from all sides. The sachet was made of black cloth, and the material was somewhat unique. Feng Jiutian could not determine what the material was, but there was nothing unusual about it.

Why did Mo Shaoxie give her this?

Feng Jiutian's gaze remained fixed on Mo Shaoxie, who had his head down with an unreadable expression. He seemed unwilling to explain further, only saying, "Just take it with you. I won't harm you."

Feng Jiutian naturally knew that Mo Shaoxie would not harm her. Since Mo Shaoxie was unwilling to say more, she did not ask any further questions. She glanced at Mo Shaoxie, who was sitting in a wheelchair pretending to be weak, and felt that her back teeth seemed to itch again.

Oh well, let him pretend if he wants. Anyway, he didn't do anything too outrageous last night; he was very well-behaved.

Feng Jiutian fastened the sachet to her waist and quickly left the inn to check out the alliance's recruitment point.

After Feng Jiutian left, Mo Shaoxie, who had been keeping his head down and silent, raised his head, took off his mask, revealing his charmingly wicked face, and looked in the direction Feng Jiutian had left. He said quietly, "She's getting smarter and smarter."

"Yeah, you're getting dumber and dumber!" Gu Luo's soul floated out of Mo Shaoxie's heart, his face calm. He had obviously given up trying to persuade Mo Shaoxie. Anyway, no matter what he said, Mo Shaoxie wouldn't go back to heal, so he couldn't be bothered to care anymore.

"You gave that thing to her to suppress the aura of the demon king's blood within her. You should be careful about the seal within your own body."

As Gu Luo spoke, he glanced at Mo Shaoxie with a hint of annoyance. Mo Shaoxie remained unmoved, and Gu Luo sighed deeply and shook his head helplessly.

Is it worth it, just for a woman?

Guro couldn't understand it because he had never loved deeply, nor had he ever experienced that kind of unforgettable feeling, so he didn't understand.

Knowing what Gu Luo was thinking, Mo Shaoxie chuckled, touched his chest, his eyes gleaming, revealing his devilish charm.

He said, "It is because of her that I have such genuine feelings now."

"Then... what about Yang Yuehua?"

Guro asked hesitantly.

Mo Shaoxie remained silent, but his body emanated a chilling aura that successfully silenced Gu Luo.

Yang Yuehua, once a notorious concubine, is now a new empress. If it weren't for Yang Yuehua's betrayal, Mo Shaoxie would never have been so badly injured!

But debts must always be repaid, and no one can escape them!

……

At this moment, Feng Jiutian was sitting and drinking tea in a teahouse opposite the entrance to the Alliance recruitment area.

She watched as mercenary groups came and went, one after another, all undoubtedly on their way to accept missions.

Feng Jiutian observed for a while but did not find any familiar faces or elders who had targeted her.

He raised an eyebrow, indicating that they also took this operation very seriously.

Feng Jiutian thought of the crystal-clear jade stone given to him by the young alliance leader in the Phoenix Tower. It had been lying in the Void Spirit Cauldron for some time and was probably covered in dust.

However, Feng Jiutian didn't intend to take this item to the Alliance's young leader. She would find out who was behind the Alliance elder's plot against her, and she didn't need the young leader's help. Feng Jiutian only hoped that he wouldn't repay kindness with enmity.

Feng Jiutian looked around for a while longer, and finding nothing strange, she hurriedly left to wander around the city before returning to the inn to wait for Ji Xiao's arrival.

She didn't notice that after she left, a noble young man appeared out of nowhere in the corner of the teahouse, with a black-robed servant standing beside him with his head bowed.

"The woman you're talking about, is she her?"

The wolf stared at Feng Jiutian's departing figure, licked its lips, and narrowed its eyes as if it were thinking about something.

The little demon beside him didn't dare delay and immediately replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, it is that woman who possesses the aura of the Holy Blood Clan and the Old Demon King, but..."

He hesitated for a moment, as if puzzled, and then Bei chuckled and said, "That's because the woman's aura was suppressed, so we couldn't sense it."

The wolf took a sip of tea, its eyes dark and gloomy, which meant that this woman must be connected with the old demon king!

"Then Your Majesty, should we arrest this woman immediately?" the little demon asked in a low voice.

The wolf uttered a single word: "No." Then, with a cold laugh, it said, "This king wants to see carefully what good things this woman possesses that would make the old demon king protect her so much!"

"Yes."

……

When Feng Jiutian returned from his stroll around the city, he found that Ji Xiao had already arrived at the inn. Upon seeing Feng Jiutian enter, Ji Xiao stood up somewhat awkwardly and awkwardly called out, "Jiutian."

Ji Xiao was still covered in a little dust, and his eyes were different from before. He used to be just reckless, but now he had become more composed.

It seems that Ji Xiao has experienced quite a lot during this period. At least he has come to understand what the real world is like and what survival truly means.

A rare hint of gentleness appeared in Feng Jiutian's eyes as she spoke to Ji Xiao, "Thank you, you must be tired from your journey."

"No, I should be thanking you!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiao's eyes reddened, and the tough man knelt before Feng Jiutian, saying in a deep voice, "If it weren't for Jiutian, I, Ji Xiao, would have accomplished nothing and would never have had a chance to rise above my circumstances! I, Ji Xiao, hereby swear that I will be loyal to Jiutian alone for the rest of my life and will never betray him!"

"You don't hate me?" Feng Jiutian looked at Ji Xiao and reminded him, "I slapped you back then, and you held a grudge at that time."

Ji Xiao smiled sheepishly, her tone tinged with apology: "Back then, I was too inexperienced and only saw the surface. Now I understand many things, and I naturally know that the slap Jiu Tian gave me was for my own good. So I am loyal to you without any complaints!"

Feng Jiutian stared at Ji Xiao for a while, remaining silent.

After a long pause, she said softly, "Get up, I understand."

"Then I'll be going now." Ji Xiao pounded her chest again and left the room, leaving Feng Jiutian alone at the table.

The window was open, and the cold wind blew in, making Feng Jiutian shiver and more awake.

"Alright, stop hiding in the back, come out." Feng Jiutian sighed, watching Mo Shaoxie slowly slide his wheelchair to the table, and poured him a cup of tea.

"You noticed that, too, didn't you?"

Feng Jiutian sipped his tea, his eyes turning slightly cold, and said in a chilling voice, "He's being controlled."
