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

Before she could finish speaking, Qingzhi quickly covered her mouth to stop herself from exclaiming, but soon her eyes widened in anger. She released her hand from her mouth and whispered angrily.

"That damned Xiao Hong, she looks so honest, I never expected her to do such a treacherous thing. I'm going to teach her a lesson right now."

The maids assigned to the main house in the South Garden are the young lady's maids.

Unexpectedly, among these girls, there was one who betrayed her own family. Qingzhi was very angry and was about to turn around and leave.

Feng Jiutian looked at the indignant Qingzhi and found it both amusing and heartwarming.

This little girl is still too naive.

In this secluded mansion, intrigue and backstabbing are commonplace, let alone something as trivial as planting spies.

However, the fact that this little girl treated her so sincerely naturally warmed her heart.

"No need. I have my own arrangements for this. Just pretend you don't know anything," Feng Jiutian suddenly said, stopping her.

"But……"

Kiyoshi wanted to say something, but when she saw her young mistress's calm and composed expression, she found herself unable to utter a word.

But Qingzhi was also a clever maid. "Yes, Miss, Qingzhi knows nothing."

"Hmm." Feng Jiutian smiled slightly and said, "I'm a little hungry after a busy day."

"Please wait a moment, I will have someone prepare a meal for you." Qingzhi smiled and curtsied slightly before turning to leave.

Feng Jiutian watched Qingzhi leave, gently closed his eyes, and pondered the recent events and his own actions, wondering if there had been anything inappropriate.

This was a habit she had developed over many years as a mercenary; whenever she carried out a mission, this habit always protected her from losing her life due to recklessness.

Night comes.

"Rumble..."

Dark clouds covered the night sky, and thunder rumbled intermittently.

It looks like it's going to rain!

After dinner, Feng Jiutian dismissed the maids and servants in the room, brewed a cup of tea, and leisurely drank it.

But when he heard the thunder coming from outside, a dark current flashed in his eyes.

"Hehe, girl. Are you planning to assassinate the Seventh Prince at the palace?" Xuanji Zi, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly said in her mind.

They're like roundworms!

The thought had barely crossed Feng Jiutian's mind when Xuanji Zi's voice rang in her mind.

However, Feng Jiutian didn't hide anything, and smiled faintly, "Well, if there's a thunderstorm tonight, wouldn't that give me the best cover?"

If we don't act now, when will we?

"Haha. There's some truth to that. However, the inner palace is a complex place, full of experts. If you were discovered with your skills, you would be doomed."

Hearing his words, Feng Jiutian raised an eyebrow, waiting for what he really wanted to say next.

Xuanji Zi kept everyone in suspense for a while before continuing, "I have a Concealing Dust Pill here. After taking it, your body will become invisible within three hours. It's absolutely essential for killing people. I believe that with your skills, dealing with a cripple who has no martial arts skills will be no problem at all."

"You have such a pill?" Feng Jiutian raised an eyebrow and smiled, saying, "Old man, you're being so 'generous' by suddenly telling me you have such a pill. What do you want?"

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Otherwise, the old man wouldn't have stopped her before, but now he suddenly mentions a kind of 'Hidden Dust Pill'.

"Haha! Your temperament is just what I like." Xuanji Zi laughed. "Indeed, I need a herb called 'Rainbow Grass' to repair the Void Spirit Cauldron."

"Rainbow Grass?" Feng Jiutian raised an eyebrow.

“Yes, just bring it to me if you see it in the future,” Xuanji Zi said.

Is it really that simple?

However, Feng Jiutian nodded; "Alright!"

"By the way, girl, after this is over, try to see that man as little as possible. It won't do you any good!" Xuanji Zi suddenly added.

Those words piqued Feng Jiutian's interest; "Why?"

"Just listen to me."

"Hmm, is that sissy really that powerful? Even you are so wary of him!" Feng Jiutian asked.

Xuanji Zi inside the Void Spirit Cauldron was silent for a moment before speaking helplessly, "I didn't use any secret techniques to investigate him that day."

"However, I seem to have sensed a trace of demonic energy in him. Although it was fleeting, it was probably true. That's why I told you to stay away from him as much as possible after this incident."

"A demon?" Feng Jiutian was quite surprised!

Because Feng Jiutian had already read through the records of the Tenglong Continent, he was familiar with the cultivation methods and professions in the world.

But when I actually heard that there were demons, I couldn't help but be surprised!

This is not the China of my past life.

This world is imbued with a fantastical and mysterious aura; it is a world called the Soaring Dragon Continent.

There are four major kingdoms: Dongling Kingdom, Beiqi Kingdom, Nanning Kingdom, and Xixuan Kingdom.

There is a segment of people in this world who primarily engage in cultivation, and this cultivation is further divided into different professions.

Cultivation professions are divided into: mage, martial artist, and alchemist.

Talent is divided into seven levels: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple (purple being the highest).

All professions have the same levels: 1-9, Master, Saint Master, Venerable Master, Grandmaster, Imperial Master, Spirit Master, Immortal Master, God Venerable! Breaking Godhood, Becoming Godhood.

Master level and above: divided into four stages: early stage, mid stage, late stage, and peak stage.

Martial Artist: Specializes in fighting spirit, possesses high physical defense, and is strong in combat.

A mage can manipulate spiritual energy and utilize the five elements in the air: wind, wood, water, earth, and fire. They can exorcise demons!

Alchemist: A very rare profession, hence its extremely high status. It requires the simultaneous presence of both wood and fire elements. Levels are divided into: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Grand Alchemist, Saint Alchemist, Venerable Alchemist, Sect Master Alchemist, Emperor Alchemist…

Of course, that only accounts for a small portion, while the majority of people on the mainland are ordinary people who have never cultivated.

“Yes, it’s the aura of a demon,” Xuanji Zi affirmed; “and its strength is not weak.”

Feng Jiutian's curiosity was piqued, but before she could ask, suddenly...

"Boom!"

A deafening clap of thunder was followed by a torrential downpour.

The torrential rain, accompanied by thunder and lightning in the night sky, was an excellent combination of weather and location!

Feng Jiutian glanced out the window and said, "Old man, give me the Hidden Dust Pill, and then tell me about this demon matter in detail when we get back."

"Ok!"

……

A torrential downpour in the inner courtyard of the palace.

Squads of armed guards, their expressions grim, patrolled incessantly throughout the palace.

Meanwhile, on the northwest corner of the palace wall, as a patrol team finished their work and turned to leave, a dark figure darted in like lightning and disappeared into the nearby woods in a flash.
