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

Don't think that you can get away unscathed by provoking them; that will only bring you even greater torment.

……

The ancient spirit moved very quickly, and Feng Jiutian, Mo Shaoxie, and the others were swiftly transported to the entrance of the ancient ruins.

This place was once a forbidden zone personally set up by Feng Jiutian, where no one or beast could fly. Even the current Feng Jiutian is no exception.

After setting everyone down, the ancient spirit shrank in size, clucked twice, and nuzzled Feng Jiutian's neck sweetly, saying, "Master, I missed you so much—"

Mo Shaoxie narrowed his eyes, raised his hand, and hooked the coquettish ancient spirit with his finger, then tossed it aside.

"For thousands of years, you still haven't learned how to read people's expressions."

Mo Shaoxie's slightly cool tone reached the ears of the ancient spirit. Its soft white body shrank back, and it snorted in dissatisfaction. But no matter what, it was no match for Mo Shaoxie. Having made a fool of itself, it transformed into a beam of light and entered Feng Jiutian's Void Spirit Cauldron.

The Void Spirit Cauldron is now bustling with activity. The awakened magical beasts are catching up with each other, having regained their memories and strength, and are chattering noisily.

Mo Qiniang, who was originally inside the Void Spirit Cauldron, was unable to come out because of Feng Jiutian's deep sleep. Xuanji Zi devised a method to get her out the day after Feng Jiutian was brought back to the Holy Blood Clan.

Now, ten years have passed, and the baby, who was raised to be plump and healthy, returned to the Gu Mo Clan long before Feng Jiutian woke up. No one knows what he looks like now.

Feng Jiutian thought that the little girl had been clever and mischievous since she was a child, and she would probably be an extraordinary person when she grew up.

Feng Jiutian was not disappointed. The little girl was rushing to where Feng Jiutian was at that moment.

"Sister Feng is so fast..."

A girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a spirit fruit in her mouth, rode on the head of a spirit snake. She held a map in her hand, glancing at it every now and then. Her big, bright eyes darted around, and it was unclear what she was up to.

Sitting beside her was none other than the now renowned "Twin Blades Lingyue" who was famous throughout the Tenglong Continent!

"Hey, Fulingyue, what do you think Sister Feng's expression will be when she sees me?"

Mo Qiniang held her face in her hands with a look of admiration, then glanced at Fuling Yue, waiting for her answer.

Fuling Yue was silent for a while, and after a long pause, she uttered four words: "Expressionless."

Upon hearing Fuling Yue's words, Mo Qiniang's smile vanished. She rolled her eyes, snorted coldly, and said, "You're the most boring one!"

That's not wrong. Given Feng Jiutian's personality, he wouldn't make any other exaggerated expressions. At most, he would just hug her like before.

Then Mo Qiniang remembered that her body shape was vastly different from what it was ten years ago, and there was no way she could be picked up...

"Wow--"

Mo Qiniang suddenly burst into tears, which made Fuling Yue, who was standing nearby, panic and frantically wipe away the tears on Mo Qiniang's face.

"Don't cry, don't cry..." His life had always been devoid of color, consisting only of assassinations and fights, and he was even severely lacking in words of comfort...

Fu Lingyue looked up at the sky. Why did he feel a little uncomfortable when the little girl cried?

But this discomfort didn't trigger the urge to draw a knife like before; I just wanted to take good care of the person.

Fuling Yue couldn't figure out the problem for a long time, so she simply stopped thinking about it and lowered her head to wipe away Mo Qiniang's tears.

Mo Qiniang cried and sobbed until she fell asleep. She was clearly fifteen or sixteen years old, but she acted like a child, always wanting to leave, even though nothing had happened!

Fuling Yue thought to herself that she had probably failed.

I got screwed over by a little kid who's barely grown up.

……

Feng Jiutian had already stepped into the ancient ruins.

She could already vaguely sense the presence of demons around her. With her eyes closed, she released her aura and began to investigate, tracking the traces of a demon.

However, Feng Jiutian encountered someone who was both familiar and utterly unfamiliar...

"Ling Sisi?"

When Feng Jiutian saw this face, she didn't know whether she should call out the words that were on the tip of her tongue. Although the other person was using Ling Sisi's alchemy skills, the aura around him was indeed very sharp, making Feng Jiutian doubt that this person was not Ling Sisi at all. When she first met Ling Sisi, the other person was as innocent as a blank sheet of paper.

Despite thinking this, Feng Jiutian still called out Ling Sisi's name loudly: "Ling Sisi!"

Ling Sisi paused, turned around abruptly, and met Feng Jiutian's gaze. In that instant, Feng Jiutian was certain that this was the lovely little girl!

But how did that little girl turn into this?

Feng Jiutian couldn't understand it no matter what, and was about to rush forward to ask something when a gust of wind blew by, and Ling Sisi, who was not far away, was taken away by a demonic aura!

Feng Jiutian's aura deepened, and he immediately released his divine sense. However, divine sense was extremely difficult to use in this ancient ruin, so he could only wait until the great battle began.

"Don't worry, she's fine."

Mo Shaoxie whispered in Feng Jiutian's ear, "Judging from the fluctuations in her aura, it's most likely voluntary. Don't worry about it..."

“She wasn’t like this before, was she?” Feng Jiutian wanted to correct something, so he lowered his head and whispered in Mo Shaoxie’s ear, “She might have gone through something unexpected, perhaps we can help her…”

"My wife, ten years have passed."

Mo Shaoxie sighed softly: "People's hearts change. It's been ten years. How can we know what they're thinking? After we resolve this matter, let's go into seclusion."

After a moment of silence, Feng Jiutian uttered a single word in a low voice—

"it is good."

No matter how hard she tries to manage, she can't control the fickle and complex nature of people's hearts, so she might as well let these people see their own destiny.

Before the great battle even began, Feng Jiutian strolled leisurely through the ancient ruins. In Xuanji Zi's words, "We don't seem to be here to fight, but rather to have fun."

It's so relaxing.

In these ancient ruins, she would occasionally encounter people fighting. When she was in a good mood, Feng Jiutian would intervene in advance and interrupt the fight. When she was in a bad mood, she would wait until she had finished her murder and robbery before appearing in front of the person and stealing their success.

She's just that bad.

A day before the start of the great battle, Feng Jiutian was surrounded by people. Feng Zhi, Ji Tianzuo, and the members of the Jiuxiao mercenary group were all present, as was Mo Qiniang with several members of the Gu Mo clan. Another person who arrived late was Qi Mo...

The moment Mo Shaoxie saw Qi Mo, a dangerous aura suddenly emerged from him. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Qi Mo, both of them able to see the hostility in each other's eyes.
