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

Chapter 181: Only then can one have a serendipitous encounter.

There was disappointment in the old man's eyes, but even more so, there was determination.

Despite his reluctance, he would not keep Jiu Yao by his side out of personal selfishness, as that would be unfair to Jiu Yao.

Only by following the woman in front of him can Jiuyao's value be maximized and can he have extraordinary encounters.

Those who have the ability should shine brightly.

He's too old to make a name for himself anymore; he just hopes that Feng Jiutian can make a name for himself.

"You must win first place in this four-nation competition."

The old man suddenly said, "I can sense something is wrong with your body. I can tell you with certainty that if you win first place in this four-nation competition, the benefits you will receive will be beyond your imagination."

The old man didn't say it explicitly, but his expression was very serious, not at all like he was joking.

Feng Jiutian pursed his lips, his gaze growing increasingly irritated.

After saying goodbye to the old man and preparing to return to his dormitory, Feng Jiutian kept his head down, thinking about the martial arts competition the whole way.

It is clear that the old man's change of attitude, and all these other things, are due to the four-nation competition.

Just then, someone appeared in front of her. Feng Jiutian was about to turn left to make way and continue walking, but the person in front of her also followed her in that direction.

Looking up at the person blocking his way with some annoyance, Feng Jiutian was speechless. How did he end up with this guy?

The person who arrived was none other than Ji Qing.

"Move aside." Feng Jiutian frowned slightly, her thoughts were a bit jumbled.

The old man said a lot to her today, and she hasn't fully processed it yet. Now that she's encountered this kind of person, she's naturally a little angry.

Ji Qing ignored the displeasure in Feng Jiutian's tone, casually opened the folding fan in her hand, and then smoothed her hair in a nonchalant manner before laughing heartily, "As expected of the woman I like, she has personality. I like her very much."

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiutian suppressed the urge to punch him. This kind of person was best ignored.

Just as Feng Jiutian was about to leave, bypassing him, Ji Qing grabbed her sleeve and stopped her from moving forward.

"I just wanted to say something to you, don't get so angry!"

Before Feng Jiutian could speak, Ji Qing quickly let go of her sleeve and said in a somewhat ingratiating tone, not forgetting to give Feng Jiutian a flirtatious wink after speaking.

"explain."

"Your competition is coming up soon, I wish you success. I will also try my best to keep up with you and make you willingly be my woman."

Ji Qing's face was resolute, and a desire ignited within him; he wanted to become stronger so that she would respect him.

"come on."

Feng Jiutian gazed calmly at Ji Qing, showing neither mockery nor emotion.

To her, Ji Qing was just someone she had met a few times, and he wouldn't stir any waves in her heart.

After saying that, Feng Jiutian turned and left without looking back.

Naturally, she also failed to notice the unseen light in Ji Qing's eyes, a light that held unwavering determination.

Even from some distance from the door, Feng Jiutian sensed that someone was inside.

It can't be him, right?

Gently pushing open the door, Feng Jiutian indeed saw the Seventh Prince drinking tea. Upon seeing her enter, he put down his cup and looked at her standing at the door, creating an inexplicably quiet atmosphere.

Feng Jiutian didn't say anything, nor did she ask him why he was in her room. She silently walked to his side.

However, he replaced the tea next to him with wine, filled both his and his own cups, and handed them to him.

The Seventh Prince said nothing, took the wine from her, and the two drank it down in perfect unison.

"Don't be afraid, just go for it. You are a phoenix, so you must spread your wings and soar. But you must believe that no matter what happens, I will always be behind you, supporting you."

"Just be yourself, don't worry about anything else."

After setting down his cup, the Seventh Prince spoke gently to Feng Jiutian, who was frowning.

He noticed her anxious mood as soon as she returned, and her mood made him feel bad. He couldn't help but comfort her in a low voice, trying to make her feel better.

The competition is about to begin, and this kind of emotion will affect her performance.

For some reason, upon hearing these words, Feng Jiutian's irritable mood due to the competition suddenly relaxed.

To be honest, she wasn't particularly concerned about the competition at first.

However, as she was given high expectations and various instructions, she gradually became irritable.

"Thank you, I feel much better now."

After thanking him, Feng Jiutian glanced at the Seventh Prince, who was pouring himself another full glass of wine, and pursed her lips.

Noticing Feng Jiutian's gaze, the Seventh Prince smiled and asked, "Continue?"

After saying that, he raised his wine glass to her.

"it is good."

Feng Jiutian smiled and raised her wine cup to him, drinking it all in one gulp.

The room was filled with the flickering candlelight, and Feng Jiutian and the Seventh Prince drank and toasted each other until dawn.

When Ruohan and the others came to call him, Feng Jiutian casually put away the wine glasses on the table, opened the door and left.

"It's alright, just treat it as a means to become stronger. No matter what others say, just do as you please." Xuanji Zi noticed that something was wrong with Feng Jiutian and said silently to herself.

Feng Jiutian chuckled softly.

"Don't worry, I've thought it through."

No matter what others say, she is still herself, and she will walk the road ahead alone, striving to become stronger on her own. No one can help her.

If that's the case, why should she bother herself with other people's opinions?

Even if there's some conspiracy, we'll deal with it when the time comes; nothing is insurmountable.

She's even faced death, what is there to fear?

Seeing that Feng Jiutian had come to his senses, Xuanjizi looked at him with satisfaction and said nothing more.

Ruohan keenly sensed something amiss in Feng Jiutian's expression: "Something on your mind?"

Feng Jiutian shook his head and said in a deep voice, "All packed up?"

Ruohan fanned herself gently and said, "But now you're all alone."

"Let's go."

After bidding farewell to the pavilion behind him, Feng Jiutian walked forward without hesitation.

Her journey is far ahead, and she will no longer be preoccupied with this one place.

The guards were already waiting there. Seeing Feng Jiutian glance at them, they said in a low, dismissive voice, "We are about to head to the Four Nations Competition. This is a competition concerning the honor of the Royal Academy, and also your honor. I hope you take it seriously. Also, the journey is long and time is short. We will use flying magical beasts to get there. Once we arrive at the competition venue, I hope you will respect my wishes in all your daily life and actions. Do not act rashly, otherwise, if something happens, I fear I will not be able to protect you. If that happens, you will bear all the consequences yourselves."

Several roc birds flew in from the side, screeching.

"You, come with me."

The guard pointed at Feng Jiutian and said in a cold voice.
