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

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up!" Xuanji Zi urged again, a rare occurrence for her.

"Alright." Hearing the urging, Feng Jiutian didn't hesitate any longer. He gently touched the Zhuwan Grass and put it into the Void Spirit Cauldron in his spiritual sea.

As soon as the Zhu Wan Grass entered the Void Spirit Cauldron, Feng Jiutian could clearly sense a slight fluctuation of excitement in Xuan Jizi's emotions.

Feng Jiutian raised an eyebrow and casually asked, "Old man, is this Zhuwan Grass really used to make antidote pills? Why do I always feel like this old man is hiding something from me?"

Upon hearing this, Xuanji Zi remained silent for a few seconds before lazily replying, "Of course, otherwise why would I send you to find it!"

"But why do I always feel like you're hiding something from me?" Feng Jiutian narrowed his eyes slightly.

"You brat!" Xuanji Zi said, sounding a little angry. "What could I possibly be hiding from you? When will your paranoia lessen? Humph, this old man doesn't want to talk to you anymore."

After saying that, Xuanji Zi fell silent.

Hearing that Xuanji Zi seemed to be throwing a tantrum, Feng Jiutian touched his nose, feeling somewhat helpless!

She simply asked the question out of instinct.

Perhaps she hasn't yet learned how to truly trust someone wholeheartedly.

After all, a person's habits and style cannot be changed overnight.

Knowing that Xuanji Zi was angry, Feng Jiutian did not provoke him further, but instead removed his disguise.

However, just as she finished changing her clothes, she heard Qingzhi's voice at the door reporting: "Miss, the master requests your presence in the study."

Feng Lingyu invited her?

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiutian raised an eyebrow slightly.

However, he still responded lightly, "Okay, I understand."

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Qingzhi's anxious eyes.

“Miss, please be careful. I saw Aunt Qian and the Second Miss in the study. They seemed to be talking to the Master about something, and the Master was a little angry.”

Qingzhi knew that Aunt Qian had been making things difficult for her mistress, so she quickly whispered a reminder.

"Complain?" Feng Jiutian raised an eyebrow, then sneered and said, "Let's go, I'm quite curious about how that mother and daughter complained about me."

Upon hearing this, Kiyoshi's initial anxiety inexplicably subsided.

It's strange. I was so worried just a moment ago, but after the young lady appeared, I felt like nothing was a big deal.

Qingzhi couldn't help but look at her young mistress with secret admiration!

……．

In the East Garden Study, the Qian family mother and daughter were talking to Feng Lingyu.

“Master, that’s how it is. Please don’t blame Jiutian. She’s probably just feeling down lately and went out to clear her head,” Madam Qian said, feigning concern for Feng Jiutian.

“Mother, you’re right. Although the servants gossip that my sister has a lover outside, I believe she wouldn’t secretly meet him at this time.” Feng Lingfu looked mournful, as if she were speaking up for Feng Jiutian.

However, anyone with common sense could tell that the mother and daughter were working together to cement Feng Jiutian's reputation for this crime.

As Feng Lingyu, seated in the main seat, listened, his expression grew increasingly grim.

In the Prime Minister's residence, everyone knows that Feng Lingyu's Achilles' heel is his 'secret rendezvous with men,' which reminds him of that piercing and painful memory.

However, the Qian mother and daughter seemed to have grasped this point from the very beginning.

"My sister seems to know quite a lot. Could you describe that man to me in detail?" A cold, questioning voice came from outside the door.

Upon closer inspection, the person who entered was none other than Feng Jiutian, dressed in plain white robes, who was slowly walking in from the doorway.

Upon hearing this, the Qian mother and daughter exchanged glances, their expressions slightly troubled, as if they hadn't expected Feng Jiutian to appear here!

"How could you... I only heard it from the servants." Feng Lingfu paused for a moment, then, seeing her mother still beside her, she felt relieved and smiled lightly. "Since you didn't refute what you said, sister, could it be true?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in his words.

"If my sister says so, then so be it." Although Feng Jiutian was full of anger, he remained calm.

She turned to her father and bowed, saying, "Father, although I don't know why the servants knew so well that I went to meet a man, and why my aunt and sister just happened to hear it, I'm just here to tell you that I went to Xiao Xiang Wan this morning."

Feng Jiutian continued, neither humble nor arrogant, "Although I have never met my mother, she is still my mother. Grandpa will be back soon, so I thought I would take this opportunity to clean up."

Xiaoxiang Garden was the courtyard where her mother lived before she disappeared. It was the best courtyard in the South Garden, but it has long been abandoned.

Feng Jiutian unintentionally unsealed Xuanjizi from that room.

Feng Lingyu's face, which had been filled with anger, trembled slightly upon hearing her words, and a complex yet somewhat ferocious emotion flashed across his expression.

Without even realizing it, the hand gripping the chair arm tightened so much that the knuckles turned white!

"Who gave you permission to go to Xiao Xiangwan?" He tried to keep his voice calm, but you could still hear the tremor in his voice and a hint of anger.

Feng Jiutian met his gaze, and the clear indifference in her eyes surprised him for some reason.

“Father, since you have already let me move to the main house in Nanyuan, it means that you still ‘recognize’ me as your daughter. Although I don’t know what happened between you and my mother, she is still my biological mother no matter what. I just want to see Grandpa before he comes back. If Father cannot even tolerate this, then it would be better if Father let me continue to go back to Minnan Xiaozhu.”

He spoke calmly and unemotionally.

However, Feng Lingyu felt a tremor in his heart for no reason, and for a moment, he even thought that he had seen that woman again!

so similar!

Why didn't I notice before that this daughter not only looks more and more like her, but now even her speech and eyes are becoming more and more similar?

Like it? No, that would only deepen the piercing pain of hatred in his heart.

However, he found himself unable to bear sending her, who resembled him so much, back to that remote little courtyard.

It was a very complex emotion.

"Alright." Feng Lingyu closed his eyes, seemingly a little tired. "Let's just leave it at that. If you go anywhere else in the future, remember to let us know so your family won't worry."

Past?

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Feng Jiutian's eyes. It seemed that the matter of Qian and her daughter throwing mud at her had been 'overturned' again.

This Feng Lingyu is truly a 'good father'.

However, even the slightest bit of affection she felt for this 'father' as her biological father had been worn away.

Since that's the case, she really didn't show any mercy to the people in this family.

Thinking of this, Feng Jiutian gave a cold smirk and said nothing more.
