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

For some reason, a voice in Feng Jiutian's heart kept telling him that he could get it.

No one would refuse something good. Such rich spiritual energy, even if it's just a cub and doesn't have a level, should be extremely precious.

Having made up his mind, Feng Jiutian withdrew his scattered spiritual energy and headed towards the cave.

As soon as they entered the cave, Xuanji Zi appeared, looking at the golden egg not far away with a puzzled expression.

"This golden egg, which is clearly an abandoned scoundrel, why does it have such a rich spiritual energy?"

Feng Jiutian looked at the golden egg noncommittally and gently stroked it.

"You don't mean you want to hatch it, do you?!" Xuanjizi saw through Feng Jiutian's intention and quickly asked, "Girl, there are very few magical beasts that a person can contract. This is just a bad guy that may or may not be able to hatch. Don't take the risk."

Feng Jiutian stared silently at the golden egg.

She was not an impulsive person; on the contrary, she knew that Xuanji Zi was right.

She has just begun practicing the Contract Array, and she doesn't even know what the effects will be. According to the book, a person's spiritual power is limited, and the number of magical beasts they can contract is extremely limited. She shouldn't put her chance on such a villain.

If it fails to hatch, it would truly be a waste of a good opportunity for a contract!

But a voice inside her kept telling her that she would never regret making a contract with this golden egg.

We must make a contract with this golden egg.

“Let’s take a gamble,” Feng Jiutian said decisively, placing his hand above the golden egg and slowly probing it with his spiritual energy.

The faint signs of life within made Feng Jiutian feel somewhat delighted.

Feng Jiutian tried to guide the egg to communicate with him, but after a long time, it was all in vain.

The feeling was so faint, as if it would disappear in the next second.

"Girl, is the key on you reacting?" Xuanji Zi asked in confusion.

Although he was present in Feng Jiutian's spiritual sea, he inexplicably felt a burning heat just now, and upon investigation, he discovered that she had somehow acquired a key.

What a strange key!

But he couldn't detect anything unusual when he tried to sense it!

Feng Jiutian withdrew his spiritual power and took out the key from his pocket.

Ever since she found this key, she has kept it close to her body. At the time, she just thought it was quite valuable and never thought it would be useful!

The key remained unchanged, but it felt unusually hot in my hand.

Feng Jiutian suddenly thought of something, and slightly moved the key away, placing it a certain distance from the golden egg.

The scalding heat cooled down considerably in an instant, no longer the kind of heat that was impossible to hold tightly at the beginning.

It seems this key is related to this golden egg.

Feng Jiutian retrieved the key and asked in a low voice, "Can you tell what kind of cub this golden egg is?"

Xuanji Zi examined it closely, covering the golden egg with spiritual energy, wanting to explore it tentatively.

"No, this golden egg's life force is too weak; my spiritual power isn't enough," Xuanji Zi said, withdrawing her spiritual power with some disappointment.

As an alchemist, his mental strength was undoubtedly powerful, yet he still couldn't sense the life in this golden egg.

In his heart, he didn't want Feng Jiutian to waste his time here.

But the mysterious key in her hand, which seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, suddenly reacted.

Feng Jiutian pursed her lips and, as instructed in the contract, cut her finger with a dagger and dripped her blood onto the golden egg.

The blood was quickly absorbed by the golden egg, leaving no trace on its smooth surface.

With a wave of his hand, Feng Jiutian retrieved the golden egg back into the ethereal space.

"Let's try hatching it first, no matter what."

Feng Jiutian said calmly, not caring at all about Xuanjizi's opposition in her divine sense.

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Feng Jiu raised an eyebrow and said impatiently, "Old man, stop nagging. Let's see if there are any magical beasts around here. We can't have come all this way for nothing."

“Once you leave this cave, turn left. There are many magical beasts there,” Xuanji Zi said irritably. After saying this, she fell silent, not caring what Feng Jiutian thought.

The old man even threw a tantrum.

Feng Jiutian almost laughed, but then she thought that if she laughed, Xuanjizi would probably ignore her even more, so she gave up the idea.

After walking for an unknown amount of time and encountering countless low-level magical beasts, Feng Jiutian chose to ignore them all.

In the blink of an eye, a day and a night had passed, and Feng Jiutian couldn't help but feel depressed.

What she wanted were magical beasts with strong elemental powers, not these ordinary magical beasts.

Unexpectedly, in the vast Monster Forest, there wasn't a single monster with an elemental body.

Feng Jiutian released her spiritual power, allowing it to explore the surrounding environment. If she saw any unnecessary magical beasts, she simply dodged away.

She disliked pointless things; these ordinary magical beasts served no purpose for her other than practicing her killing skills.

Suddenly, Feng Jiutian's eyes lit up.

Her spiritual power sensed a magical beast possessing two elements, and her spiritual awareness told her that this magical beast was extremely powerful.

"Interesting." Feng Jiutian muttered to himself, his speed suddenly increasing as he rushed towards that direction.

The monster was constantly moving, and it was moving very fast.

Feng Jiutian released her spiritual power, covering a wider area, while running at top speed.

"Stop!" Xuanji Zi suddenly shouted sharply, his voice urgent and anxious.

Feng Jiutian suddenly stopped in his tracks, looking at the swamp in front of him, somewhat puzzled: "Old man, this kind of swamp can't even trouble me, aren't you overreacting?"

If Xuanji Zi could appear before Feng Jiutian, he would probably be furious.

“Girl, I know the swamp can’t stop you, but you can’t go any further. There’s a powerful force ahead that’s extremely dangerous and you can’t fight it right now!” Xuanji Zi said anxiously, trying to get Feng Jiutian to back down.

Although he hadn't spent much time with Feng Jiutian, he knew her personality; she was definitely not the kind of person who would give up easily.

But the aura ahead was truly extremely dangerous...

Feng Jiutian frowned slightly, about to say something, when the splashing water instantly drew all her attention.

"Girl, be careful!"

Upon hearing Xuanji Zi's somewhat panicked voice, Feng Jiutian suddenly jumped back, unleashing a burst of weak spiritual energy that dispersed the water droplets in front of him.

The water splashed onto the ground, creating a small but noticeable crater.

Feng Jiutian stood not far from the swamp, watching the python in front of him.

The python, its entire body covered in golden scales, stood on the murky swamp, glaring angrily at Feng Jiutian, hissing, its eyes unusually fierce.
