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

The scene before him made Feng Jiutian's scalp tingle.

One or two gophers are fine, but a group of these gophers are quite terrifying to look at, with long, thin claws, brown fur, and a pointed snout.

When they gather in large groups, they look terrifying.

“I didn’t mean to disturb you,” Feng Jiutian said in a clear voice.

The golden snake glared fiercely at the group of ground squirrels, its eyes crushing them.

It gave me a strange feeling of being a police officer interrogating a criminal.

Feng Jiutian felt uneasy and ignored the strange scene, instead carefully searching for the whereabouts of the Rainbow Grass.

The golden snake can't help with this; you'll have to find it yourself.

Looking at the densely packed cave entrances, Feng Jiutian pursed his lips and decisively turned around and walked towards a place where the cave entrances were not so densely packed.

In places with a lot of gophers, even if there are any, they must have already been eaten or are no longer intact.

After all, gnawing on things is a mouse's nature.

The further we walked, the hotter it became.

Feng Jiutian was covered in sweat, felt parched, and his whole body felt as if it were being burned by fire.

"Girl, hold it in your mouth." Xuanji Zi placed a cold pill in Feng Jiutian's hand.

Without even looking at it, Feng Jiutian put it directly into her mouth, and a cool sensation instantly swept over her body, wiping away the heat from before.

After her body had adjusted a little, Feng Jiutian continued walking forward.

Not far away, a tender green grass stood upright on the raging rock. The fire element around it was extremely dense, and the fire element in Feng Jiutian's dantian began to get excited, trying to absorb these active elements.

Taking advantage of the situation, Feng Jiutian sat down to cultivate, absorbing the surrounding fire elements with all his might.

The red light in his dantian grew larger and redder.

Finally, when Feng Jiutian stopped absorbing, the red sphere had become significantly larger than the other elements.

At this moment, the fire element around them noticeably weakened briefly.

If not now, when?!

"Old man, is this a rainbow grass?"

Born from the flames atop the raging cliffs.

This rainbow grass truly has a unique character.

However, Feng Jiutian did not take it at this time, because Xuanjizi had already come out of the Void Spirit Cauldron after the fire element was weakened.

Looking at the illusory figure in front of him, Feng Jiutian rarely spoke up and teased, "Now your Void Spirit Cauldron can be repaired."

Upon hearing this, Xuanji Zi's old face flashed with excitement. He flashed onto the raging flames, and with his shadow-like hand, he deftly snapped the Rainbow Grass at the roots. Then, without saying a word, he quickly returned to his spiritual sea.

With this Rainbow Grass, he could repair the Void Spirit Cauldron, gain more of his own strength, and no longer be so restricted.

Seeing Xuanji Zi's impatient manner, Feng Jiutian couldn't help but chuckle, and resignedly returned the way she came.

Outside, the golden snake was teasing the group of ground squirrels with great interest, acting like the big brother.

……

On a quiet path, a pretty young girl was walking slowly.

Feng Jiutian enjoyed this rare moment of tranquility, and his expression relaxed considerably. The pressure from the past two days had lessened considerably.

But this tranquility always seems to be easily broken by someone.

Just like now!

Suddenly, a scream shattered the surrounding tranquility.

"Help!"

Feng Jiutian frowned slightly, but she had always been cold-hearted and had no concept of being a saint, so she naturally didn't intend to pay any attention to it.

In any case, other people's life and death don't really matter to her!

Feng Jiutian turned around and changed direction.

But before long, they saw the scene not far away.

Sometimes, the more you don't want to do something, the more fate seems to want to work against you!

Before my eyes, there was a raging fire.

The carriage was not far away; it had been burned down, and the horse had been hacked to death, lying on the ground covered in blood.

Beside the raging fire, a group of guards were protecting the old man in the middle.

When Feng Jiutian saw the old man, his originally indifferent and cold expression was clearly taken aback, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

That old man... he seems so familiar...

correct!

It was Grandpa, no, to be precise, it was the original owner of this body's grandfather!

Fengxuan!

The former head of the Feng family was away recuperating for many years due to health issues, and would only return once every two or three years.

However, according to previous reports, shouldn't Feng Xuan have returned home a few days ago?

Why are you still here?

Seeing that the guards were doing their best to protect her, but still couldn't stop the fight that was taking place amidst the bandits' encirclement, Feng Jiutian frowned even more.

She could disregard the others in the Prime Minister's mansion, but this grandfather was someone she simply couldn't ignore.

In the original owner's memories, this grandfather seemed to be the only source of warmth. In all the memories about the grandfather, one could see the affection in his eyes.

After taking possession of this body, Feng Jiutian sometimes felt that some of his emotions were also influenced by the emotions remaining in this body.

Therefore, Feng Jiutian doesn't dislike this grandfather!

Therefore, this matter really cannot be ignored.

This was, after all, the only warmth the original owner of this body had.

Looking at the face he had seen several times in his mind, Feng Jiutian pursed his lips and shifted his gaze towards the direction of the robbers.

There were about thirty people, each with a different appearance, but judging from their spiritual power and skills, each of them was quite strong.

At least, with Feng Jiutian's current strength, he couldn't win with his bare hands.

"They're really ungrateful! Brothers, kill them all!"

At this moment, the leader of the bandits seemed very impatient and suddenly shouted at his men.

"yes, Sir."

At his shout, the thirty-odd robbers, like tigers suddenly provoked, unleashed their full power, surrounding and slaughtering the twenty or thirty guards.

The guards were originally quite strong, but it seems that in order to protect Feng Xuan in the middle, they had to pay attention to other things and lost a lot of people.

The smell of blood permeates the air.

A sharp glint appeared in Feng Jiutian's eyes.

not good!

"Little Jin!" Feng Jiutian shouted sharply, his figure moving forward at lightning speed.

At that critical moment, they intercepted the arrow that was suddenly shot at Feng Xuan.

Before anyone else could react, the golden serpent suddenly twisted and rose from the void, its enormous size obscuring the surrounding light.

"Hiss..." The golden snake flicked its tongue, its eyes gleaming with a chilling aura. As it twisted its body and landed, it swallowed the bandit who had just launched the sneak attack with the arrow in one gulp.

Flesh and blood slowly flowed from its mouth, instantly shocking everyone.

Feng Jiutian coldly stared at the bandits. Despite her youthful appearance, she made everyone pause, and for a moment they dared not move forward.

"Who...who are you!" The bandit leader snapped out of his daze, a look of terror flashing across his eyes as he stared at Feng Jiutian, swallowed hard, and shouted.
