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

"The other party is likely the Holy Maiden of the Gu Mo Clan, so naturally she has research in this area. You don't need to get too excited."

Mo Shaoxie's voice was somewhat gentle, which miraculously calmed half of Feng Jiutian's anger. She pursed her lips, glanced at Mo Shaoxie sitting in a wheelchair dressed in black, and the thought of exposing his identity resurfaced.

But thinking that she would probably not have peace after being exposed, Feng Jiutian suppressed the thought and turned her head away, saying, "Ji Xiao should have only been in the city for a short time. Even if we control him, it's probably too late, right?"

Mo Shaoxie, unaware of Feng Jiutian's thoughts, assumed she was just shy and gave a slight smile.

"Perhaps the other party had contacted Ji Xiao a long time ago."

In order to maintain the image of the Seventh Prince as weak and delicate, Mo Shaoxie subtly hinted at Feng Jiutian from the side, speaking as if it were just a casual remark.

After Mo Shaoxie's words, Feng Jiutian felt as if he had been enlightened. He frowned and chuckled softly, "Ji Tianzuo!"

Before he could finish speaking, a gentle breeze swept by, and Ji Tianzuo immediately appeared beside Feng Jiutian, bowing his head and asking, "Master, what is it?"

"During my absence, did Ji Xiao come into contact with any strangers who seemed strange?"

“Strange outsider…”

Ji Tianzuo looked puzzled, his brows furrowed as if he were recalling something. After a moment, he came to his senses and called out, "Miss Yue!"

Moon Maiden?

Feng Jiutian looked at Ji Tianzuo, waiting for him to continue.

Ji Tianzuo then calmly said, "Miss Yue is a girl that Ji Xiao rescued during a mission. As for her full name..."

Ji Tianzuo hesitated for a moment, then said with some shame, "I can't remember her full name. I only know that she is called Miss Yue. After Ji Xiao rescued her, he devoted himself to Miss Yue for a period of time. Miss Yue stayed for two whole months before leaving."

After speaking, Ji Tianzuo's eyes flickered. There was one more thing he didn't mention, and that was—

Since Miss Yue arrived, Feng Zhi's temper has gotten worse and worse. She has started to be picky about Ji Xiao. Originally just a rather carefree girl, she has become more and more unruly and even somewhat charming.

Then Ji Xiao and Feng Zhi started giving each other the cold shoulder. They hadn't spoken to each other for three whole months since Miss Yue left!

That's why the two of them split up and went to Feng Jiutian's side.

Ji Tianzuo's expression did not escape Feng Jiutian's notice. She paused for a moment, then stared at Ji Tianzuo and asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"

"master……"

Ji Tianzuo thought for a moment. These two had already reached Feng Jiutian's side, so Feng Jiutian would figure it out sooner or later. Since his master had already asked, there was no harm in him telling her...

Then Ji Tianzuo told Feng Jiutian the whole story. After listening, Feng Jiutian fell even more silent.

Ji Tianzuo looked at Feng Jiutian carefully, a deep affection flashing in his eyes for a moment, which he then quickly concealed.

Ji Tianzuo's face was expressionless. He was already aloof and distant, and even if he admired someone, he could hide it perfectly.

Unfortunately, Mo Shaoxie was sitting right next to him. He didn't like other men getting too close to his little woman, so he kept observing Ji Tianzuo. When he saw the adoration flash in Ji Tianzuo's eyes, he got angry.

Ji Tianzuo was waiting for Feng Jiutian's instructions when he suddenly felt a sharp light piercing towards him. He subconsciously turned around and saw the Seventh Prince, who had been sitting in a wheelchair and had been barely noticeable. His eyes were as cold as an eagle's, and he didn't look like a cripple at all!

Ji Tianzuo felt a chill run down his spine from that glance and quickly turned his head away, not wanting to look at the Seventh Prince again. Cold sweat broke out on his back.

After Feng Jiutian told him to leave, Ji Tianzuo disappeared from the house like a gust of wind without hesitation.

Feng Jiutian was stunned by his move for a while and didn't know what to say. She decided to just assume he was having a fit.

Thinking this, she looked at Mo Shaoxie and sighed helplessly.

Oh well, they're all troublemakers. It's just that she has a good temper and a high tolerance, so she can keep her temper in check.

If Xuanjizi knew about Feng Jiutian's feelings, she would inevitably laugh at him again. Is Feng Jiutian good-tempered?

Impossible! She's a madwoman who can start a fight anytime, anywhere!

……

After Ji Xiao made some corrections, Feng Jiutian led his men to the recruitment point set up by the alliance in the city.

Ruohan and Qianghuan were originally going to come, but Feng Jiutian told them to stay in Xixuan Kingdom. Feng Jiutian was also going to Xixuan Kingdom, so Ruohan and Qianghuan stayed in Xixuan Kingdom to take care of everything. It would be easier to handle things when they arrived.

Ji Tianzuo brought about thirty elites trained by the Nine Heavens Mercenary Group, both men and women, all of whom were full of energy.

Too many people would attract attention, so Feng Jiutian selected ten to openly accompany them, while the rest remained hidden in the shadows.

Ji Tianzuo was an assassin by nature, so he naturally did his best when training the people in the group. As for concealing his presence, it was just a piece of cake for them.

Furthermore, since Feng Jiutian aims to forge the most powerful mercenary group on the Tenglong Continent, she absolutely cannot allow anyone to hold her back.

Therefore, after Feng Jiutian selected ten people, the remaining twenty people did not show any dissatisfaction and simply concealed their figures.

Feng Jiutian was very satisfied with this.

For the other members of the Nine Heavens Mercenary Group, being able to see Feng Jiutian was already an extremely exciting thing!

For them, the Nine Heavens was a place of redemption, and also a place that taught them how to protect themselves, so they had no complaints; on the contrary—

They were very excited.

I am so glad that I was able to meet the supreme leader who gave them salvation and to have such close contact with Feng Jiutian.

Without Jiuxiao and Feng Jiutian, they would probably still be a puddle of mud at the bottom of the pool, despised, looked down upon, hated, and discarded at will!

Therefore, Feng Jiutian is their god!

Feng Jiutian naturally didn't know what the other members of the Nine Heavens Mercenary Group were thinking. She only knew that these people would never betray her and were all her comrades-in-arms!

The purpose of recruiting these people was naturally because they would not betray him. When Feng Jiutian gave Ji Tianzuo his instructions, it was because these people had no one to rely on. Jiuxiao saved them, so Jiuxiao has now become their support.

Once people have someone to rely on, they will naturally stop thinking about doing anything wrong and will also develop a dependence on that place.

Call Feng Jiutian scheming or ruthless, but in the end, didn't she save these people? And she doesn't put herself on a pedestal; she does what she's supposed to do.
