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

Feng Jiutian raised her eyes and saw the man sitting opposite her slowly drinking his tea, showing no intention of leaving.

The view from the third floor is excellent, especially the location of the men's room, which faces the auction stage below.

"The first item up for auction—'Pill-Chasing Grass'!"

Zhuwan grass?

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiutian almost stood up.

Her purpose in coming here was to find the pill-shaped grass.

Unexpectedly, the auction of the Pill-Chasing Grass was scheduled right from the start, which caught her completely off guard.

Downstairs, a sharp voice rang out, and a gong sounded, signaling the start of the auction!

As soon as the 'Zhuwan Grass' was mentioned, a chorus of exclamations erupted in the room, and then people began to place bids one after another, each one surpassing the last.

As the price continued to rise, Feng Jiutian's brows furrowed more and more.

However, she had no money on her at all. The only thing she could offer was the Spirit Gathering Pill!

She looked at the man sitting beside her, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I don't have any money, but I can exchange the Spirit Gathering Pill for the 'Pill-Chasing Grass' on the stage."

Feng Jiutian knew that this man was the owner of this Shaoge Auction House, and everything being auctioned here belonged to him. It was best to talk to him first if there was anything to discuss.

But the man neither nodded nor shook his head.

He seemed not to hear Feng Jiutian speak, and continued to drink his tea leisurely, looking extremely relaxed.

Seeing this, Feng Jiutian frowned deeply again.

And downstairs at this time.

"Eight hundred thousand taels!" a man shouted, holding up a sign in his hand.

Eight hundred thousand taels? Is it really that high now?

Feng Jiutian's gaze swept across the audience, and he saw that after that man called out the bid, it seemed that no one dared to follow suit anymore!

"Boom!"

The gong inside the arena was struck, and a clear male voice resounded throughout the arena.

"Eight hundred thousand taels of silver once! Eight hundred thousand taels of silver twice! Eight hundred thousand—"

Just as the final decision was about to be made, someone suddenly spoke up.

"One million taels! — Gold!"

After these words, the entire room fell silent. Only after a long while did whispers begin to circulate.

It came from the crowd, and finally, it boiled over!

The surprised expressions on the faces of some people in the audience immediately turned into expressions of astonishment.

One million taels of gold! And that's just for buying a single blade of grass—such a generous offer!

Feng Jiutian turned her head. She hadn't been mistaken. The person who was quoting prices outside was the servant of the man in front of her. If the man hadn't given the order, how could he have dared to do such a thing?

But this 'Zhuwan Grass' originally belonged to him, so what does it mean that he paid such a high price to buy it now?

Feng Jiutian frowned, his questioning gaze falling on the man opposite him.

Sensing Feng Jiutian's gaze, the man's lips curled into a wicked smile beneath his half-mask.

He turned his head and looked at Feng Jiutian with a deep gaze, saying, "This 'Chasing Pill Grass' is a thousand-year-old sacred treasure. There is only one of its kind in the world. If you really want it, you will have to pay a higher price than I have today!"

He knew perfectly well that he couldn't afford such a high price, so he deliberately set this up!

Besides, if we really wanted to bid on this 'Chasing Pill Grass', why would we really need a million taels of gold?

He did this on purpose to make things difficult for us!

A shadow slowly brewed in Feng Jiutian's eyes, and her hand slowly clenched.

Seeing her like this, the man suddenly chuckled wickedly and said, "Well? Have you made up your mind?"

Feng Jiutian sneered inwardly. He clearly knew all along that he had 'no other choice,' yet he deliberately asked this question. What else could it be but mockery?

This man was like a lazy lion lying in wait, ready to open his gaping maw and kill his prey if provoked.

Now, she seems to be the 'prey'!

That's why he has the right to be so arrogant!

Feng Jiutian narrowed her eyes, feeling extremely displeased by being looked down upon!

But at that moment, a sense of helplessness swept through her heart.

Because this man is better than her!

And it's incredibly powerful, which is why she had to compromise.

But if one day they stand at the same level, will this person still dare to speak to her like that?

And she was really looking forward to that day!

A sharp light flashed in Feng Jiutianxing's eyes as she looked at the man in front of her, as if she had suddenly made up her mind.

"Alright! I can agree to your request! I will exchange the silver needed for this 'Pill-Chasing Grass' with you in the form of pills of equal value!"

Seeing her reluctant yet forced to agree due to various reasons, I was struck by her expression.

Mo Shaoxie's lips curled slightly, revealing a faint smile that instantly made him appear alluring, mysterious, and captivating.

The little wildcat, having sheathed all its claws and teeth, is suppressing its temper in preparation for an even greater counterattack!

Mo Shaoxie looked at her and suddenly said with a half-smile, "Actually, I can waive your money."

Feng Jiutian raised an eyebrow, waiting for his next words. She didn't believe that a man like him would be willing to do a losing business.

Sure enough, the next moment, the man's voice rang out in the air filled with the aroma of tea, "As long as you kill someone for me."

kill?

Upon hearing this, a dark current flashed in Feng Jiutian's eyes, but his face remained indifferent. "Who is it?"

Mo Shaoxie looked at her profile, a mysterious smile curving his lips, and suddenly smiled meaningfully.

"The current emperor, the seventh prince!"

The seventh prince of the current dynasty?

Feng Jiutian was taken aback. A memory flashed in her eyes of the frail man with his face covered by a black cloth in the back garden of the Feng residence that day.

It's him?

Feng Jiutian frowned slightly!

For some reason, she always felt a little soft-hearted and reluctant when facing that man.

What deep-seated hatred do you have for him?

Generally, once an employer sets a target, the mercenary will not concern themselves with anything else after accepting the task.

But today, Feng Jiutian blurted out a question.

A glint of interest flashed in Mo Shaoxie's eyes. "Oh? You're not willing? Or do you have some other feelings for him?"

A different kind of feeling?

They've only met once, how could there be any feelings involved?

Thinking of this, Feng Jiutian glanced at him indifferently and said with a faint smile, "I was just asking out of curiosity. If you don't want to tell me, then forget it."

She has never been a soft-hearted person!

Ultimately, they were completely unrelated, just two strangers who met by chance! If he blocked her way, she would show no mercy!
