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

She stared intently at the black egg in mid-air, her divine sense spreading throughout the entire Yu Mountain. She sensed that almost everyone in Yu Mountain was rushing towards her, at an astonishing speed!

A bead of sweat dripped from Feng Jiutian's forehead. With a wave of his hand, he set up a barrier around them, preventing anyone from entering. His eyes continued to be fixed on the black egg in mid-air.

The golden light surrounding the black egg grew increasingly intense, seemingly vying with the sun and moon for brilliance. With an imposing aura, it emitted a clear, crisp cry within this golden light—

"squeak--"

A shadow emerged from the golden light, flapping its wings with a dazzling appearance, and its size was much larger than when it first hatched.

Only as the golden light gradually faded did the black egg's full form appear, startling the crowd who had rushed to the barrier but were unable to break through it.

"It's actually an ancient demonic beast, the Phoenix?"

A murderous intent flashed in Feng Jiutian's eyes. You must know that the phoenix is ​​not some so-called demon beast, but a spirit beast!

But what no one knows is that a phoenix can only be born by being nourished by the essence and blood of a demon. However, what humans see is that the phoenix is ​​born from a demon, so the phoenix is ​​classified as a demon beast by those ignorant humans.

But the phoenix itself is a pure and true being. Its flames can burn away all the filth in the world, and it can be reborn from the ashes, dominating the world!

The reason why phoenixes have become so rare is that their ability to undergo rebirth can be transferred to humans, ensuring their survival once, which has aroused unprecedented fervor among people.

Human nature is inherently selfish. When everyone saw the phoenix appear, their eyes were filled with greed. If this barrier hadn't been so impenetrable, they probably would have pounced on it!

Feng Jiutian lowered his head, and suddenly detected a chilling aura within his divine sense. Based on this aura, Feng Jiutian determined the other party's identity—

The new demon king.

Feng Jiutian already knew the new demon king's intentions: he was after the power in Mo Shaoxie's body. Only when the old demon king was completely dead would the demon king's power be transferred to the new demon king!

The new demon king undoubtedly sensed the aura emanating from the black egg and headed towards the old demon king, Mo Shaoxie!

Having regained her memories, Feng Jiutian naturally also learned of Mo Shaoxie's identity.

The Demon King of the Demon Realm.

Although Feng Jiutian is a member of the Holy Blood Clan, she would not look down on Mo Shaoxie. Since she has decided to spend her life with him, she will naturally not run away halfway. However, this new demon king is a big problem.

The opponent is not weak. Her strength is stable now. If the new demon king breaks her barrier, she will be able to be devoured by the people surrounding her without her even having to lift a finger!

Putting aside the fact that he is a contract master, the mere fact that he is a phoenix is ​​enough to make these people lose their minds.

"My wife, I remember now."

Just then, a voice reached Feng Jiutian's ears. She turned around abruptly and saw Mo Shaoxie standing in front of her, having removed his mask to reveal his handsome face.

She curled her lips into a smile and raised an eyebrow: "So you're willing to reveal your true identity now?"

"Now that my wife has already discovered it, there's no point in me pretending anymore. Besides... I remember everything from before, so why should I cower in front of her?"

Mo Shao looked at Feng Jiutian with a wicked smile, his tone as nonchalant as ever, but his words revealed that he had already remembered everything from the past.

Someone in the crowd shouted—

"The man is the former Demon King of the Demon Clan, and the woman is the Holy Maiden of the Holy Blood Clan. Their illicit affair has been going on for a long time and is against all reason. Capture them!"

These words intensified the greed in everyone's eyes, and even their gazes towards Feng Jiutian and Mo Shaoxie became malevolent. Each person offered a seemingly plausible reason for capturing Feng Jiutian and Mo Shaoxie.

"The demon race and the holy blood race are incompatible according to the laws of nature. It is against the laws of nature for them to coexist. By capturing them, we are acting on behalf of Heaven!"

Suddenly, an unknown force shattered Feng Jiutian's barrier, and everyone rushed forward!

Feng Jiutian hurriedly raised his hand and poured his spiritual power into the array beneath his feet to block the aggressive crowd. He then sternly ordered the ancient spirit, "Take Feng Zhi and the others and leave first. I can hold them off for a while longer!"

"squeak--"

The black egg flew in mid-air, its voice shrill as if it wanted to say something, but having just hatched, it had already exhausted its strength. After the light faded, its body gradually shrank and softly fell into Feng Jiutian's arms.

Feng Jiutian pursed her lips and placed the black egg into the Void Spirit Cauldron, instructing Xuanjizi to take good care of it. Xuanjizi, however, was worried about Feng Jiutian's current condition.

"Girl, there are many people outside. Do you need my help?"

Feng Jiutian responded to Xuanjizi in a low voice, "Old man, you stay here and don't come out and waste your soul power. I'll be fine!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she severed her connection with the Void Spirit Cauldron, refusing to listen to what Xuanjizi inside the cauldron would say next.

The ancient spirit acted swiftly. It always obeyed Feng Jiutian's orders the most. After Feng Jiutian gave the order, it transformed into a cloud and swallowed Feng Zhi and the others. They then transformed into a ball of light and quickly left!

“Master! We live together, we die together. I, Ji Tianzuo, am not the kind of person who cowers in fear. When faced with a formidable enemy, I must naturally rise to the challenge!”

It is unknown what method Ji Tianzuo used, but he was not swallowed and taken away by the ancient spirit. Behind him were more than a dozen outstanding members of the Nine Heavens Mercenary Group.

Feng Jiutian was somewhat surprised and touched, but said coldly, "If you don't leave now, you won't have another chance later!"

"Your subordinate has no regrets!"

Ji Tianzu knelt on one knee before Feng Jiutian, and the dozen or so members of the Nine Heavens Mercenary Group behind him roared in unison, "Your subordinate has no regrets!"

"Hey, you guys are all pledging your loyalty, you should at least count me in, right?"

Feng Zhi's playful voice came from above. Feng Jiutian looked up and saw her being supported in mid-air by Qiang Huan. Her expression showed slight dissatisfaction because Feng Jiutian had sent her away.

Standing beside Qiang Huan was Ruo Han. The three of them landed in front of Feng Jiutian. Ruo Han lowered her head in front of Feng Jiutian and reported in a naturally cool voice, "We came to Yushan on our own initiative. Please forgive us, Commander!"

Ruo Han is a person who clearly distinguishes between different identities. Even though she is close to Feng Jiutian, the way she addresses him is still very distant. This is an essential requirement for the heir of the Ruo family.

The heir of the Ruo family must never be allowed to climb up to anyone else, so he must always maintain a cold and gloomy demeanor and keep everyone at a distance.

Upon seeing Ruohan's arrival, Feng Jiutian sighed inwardly and said, "Is it someone from the Western Xuan Kingdom?"
