The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

104. Come Back

Translator: Ning LL

As what the Twin Fiends had said, the man was cloaked in total black, showing nothing but his gruesome eyes.

Right now, his eyes fell upon on Feng Xi. It was obvious that the man in black was more powerful than Feng Xi. However, the former seemed to have concealed his power on purpose as if he was afraid that his cultivation level would be discovered, giving out a weird aura from all over.

Hairless Chicken and Sky Breaking Beast had stood in front of Feng Xi in a hurry the moment the man in black showed up while glaring at the man in black who came from nowhere. According to their defensive posture and serious look, they seemed to have already detected the cultivation base of the man in black.

The man flashed a surprised look in his eyes, thinking, ‘A boy with two Demon Beasts in the Saint realm, that’s hard to deal with.’

He was not from the Netherworld and only heard from the Twin Fiends that Feng Xi and his buddies had just arrived at the Netherworld. If he and the Twin Fiends heard of the rumors which had been spreading in the Netherworld over the last year, the man in black was clever enough to guess out who Feng Xi was.

Unfortunately, none of the three knew anything about Feng Xi, so they would only end up in tragedy.

“Well, you seem to be quite talented by reaching the sixth grade of the God King realm at such a young age. I am impressed, but you’ll still lose with that cultivation base. I have to take the Twin Fiends away today. I suggest you leave quickly and back off from my business.” The man in black had seen through Feng Xi’s cultivation level with one single glance.

In ordinary times, the man in black who always acted ruthlessly wouldn’t let Feng Xi walk away alive. However, now the man still had a mission to complete and it was not a good thing for him to make a big scene. Moreover, the boy had two Demon Beasts in the Saint realm, even if the man spared no pains to fight, he might not have a chance to win.

“I said that you were plotting something before, now it seems that I was right.” Feng Xi, with an innocent look on his face, said that while nodding as if he hadn’t heard the man’s threat.

The man in black couldn’t help but frown. As he was about to speak again, the boy suddenly changed the subject,

“But, you can’t take those two with you.” The boy’s tone seemed a little formidable. He stopped grinning and showed an indifferent look instead, which strangely sent out some pressure.

Compared with the man in black who was surprised, Hairless Chicken and Sky Breaking Beast who had stayed with the boy for a while were even more shocked.

They always regarded their master as a naïve and childish boy, and never had they seen such a serious look on his face. That was so unbelievable for them!

However, in the man’s view, Feng Xi had only pretended to be fragile before, and now the boy finally exposed his true self.

At first, the man had thought that Feng Xi would be sensible enough to leave, but he had guessed wrong. Now only didn’t the boy leave, but he seemed eager to fight. Now things really became difficult for the man in black!

“I have to admit that you are a brave kid, I admire you a lot. But bravery doesn’t mean everything.” When he was saying that, two figures fell down from the sky, sending out more domineering air than the man. Then, two men in black showed up.

As the two newcomers saw the boy who was standing behind the beasts, they felt that he was just a young master from a rich family who had come out to have fun. Then they couldn’t help but frown, not knowing why their companion had been held up by a boy like this. One of the two men said in an aging and raucous voice, “Old guy, how come that boy is able to slow you down? Make it quick, or there will be changes.”

“The Demon Beasts in the Saint realm are hard to deal with, I’m afraid we’ll arouse others’ attention if we get into a fight with them.” Another man in black said that in a mirthless tone as if he was making a decision now.

“It seems like we have to abandon them.” The elder in black finally decided that.

When everyone was wondering what the elder meant by saying the word ‘abandon’, the Twin Fiends on the ground suddenly gave miserably cries. As a result, they were killed by the three men in black, which explained the word ‘abandon’. After that, the three men disappeared at the end of the alley. Hairless Chicken and Sky Breaking Beast still had to protect Feng Xi, so they didn’t chase after the men in black.

“Master, what shall we do now?” Hairless Chicken glanced at the Twin Fiends who had already stopped breathing. The three men truly had killed them without mercy and even destroyed their souls. Those men had been so ruthless perhaps because they were afraid that the Twin Fiends would speak something against them.

Feng Xi looked at the two corpses and then at the sky. Then, with a smile on his face, he said, “Go back home!”

“Huh? It’s over?” Sky Breaking Beast thought that its master would keep investigating the whole thing and never expected that the latter would give up so easily. The beast also didn’t understand why his master had insisted on taking the Twin Fiends back before.

“Or what?” Feng Xi, goggling, asked that.

“Eh, nothing, whatever you say, Master!” Sky Breaking Beast shrank its neck under the gaze of its master.

Hairless Chicken looked at the beast with a pitiful look. Lately, the Chicken found its master very unpredictable and that it was not very wise to take his words seriously.

“You fool, do you think they would dare to make a stir under the King’s watch?” Seeing the unconvinced look on the beasts’ faces, Feng Xi could only explain that.

“I see.” Hairless Chicken and Sky Breaking Beast nodded, partly comprehending his words.

At last, the boy and the two beasts left the alley without dealing with the corpses. About a few seconds later, while the street was still bustling with people, the three men in black showed up in the alley again. One of them collected the dead bodies while cleaning up the bloodstains on the ground. After that, there was no sign of anyone having died here.

“Old guy, do we need to send someone to investigate that boy’s background?” After the man who had collected the corpses pondered for a while, he looked in the direction where Feng Xi had left and asked that.

“He seemed a dangerous guy to me, I’m afraid that he would expose us.” Another man in black said that.

“Investigate? Don’t forget that we still have to finish our task, let alone that the boy has headed to the Heaven Palace. The closer we are to the Heaven Palace, the more experts we would run into. By then we will only alert them. If the King is disturbed, none of us will leave the Netherworld.” The look on the elder’s face was extremely serious. If he could kill the boy, he would have done it before and there was no need for him to wait until now to do it.

“That makes sense.” The other two men nodded.

“Let’s go.”

…

Right after Feng Xi got back to the Heaven Peak Palace, he ran toward the Quite Stage Palace right away.

He had thought that the gate would be opened as usual. However, when he arrived at the Palace, he only saw the gate being closed tightly. The four maids and Uncle White all stood outside the Palace. Uncle White could always send out powerful aura no matter where he was, which made Feng Xi slow down subconsciously.

“Uncle White, sisters, nice to meet you. Is my leader in there?” Feng Xi asked that gingerly while glancing to Uncle White who stood very still right now.

The four maids looked at each other at a loss because they didn’t dare to say anything before Uncle White spoke.

“Young Master, did you have a good time out there?” Uncle White finally said something to break the suffocating silence.

“…” Feng Xi hesitated first and then said, “I did, but I was handling some serious business with Carendra, I didn’t go out for fun!”

Hearing that, the four maids looked at Feng Xi with an admiring look at once. They felt it was very brave of the boy to lie to Uncle White!

“His Majesty is talking about some serious matters with Lord Wolf Fang and President Nangong. He ordered us to tell you to meet him when you come back.” Uncle White said that with no expression on his face, and it was hard to tell if he was angry or not.

“Thanks, Uncle White… I’ll go in then.” Feng Xi, head lowered, slipped into the Palace through the crack of the gate without looking to Uncle White again.

Like what Uncle White had said, Nangong Li, the president of the Green Nether Union and the Wolf Fang, Lord of the Ghost World, were inside right now. Feng Xi could hear them talking from a distance. Then, as he saw the gorgeous man on the crystal chair whose face he was so familiar with, he rushed over excitedly right away.

“My leader, I am back. I miss you so much.” The boy was telling the truth. He really missed his leader a lot, though it hadn’t been very long since they met.

Under the surprised gaze of Wolf Fang and Nangong Li, Feng Xi climbed onto the crystal desk and jumped to the King. The boy did it so deftly as if he had done it so many times. The King seemed not uncomfortable with that at all and hugged the boy tightly.

“Were you having a good time playing outside?” The King stroked the boy’s messy hair in front of his forehead and asked that in a low voice.

“Yes.” Feng Xi forgot about what he had said to Uncle White and nodded without any hesitation, “When I came back, I ran into two interesting people who wanted to rob me. I have wanted to rob them, but unfortunately, there were three men in black showing up all of a sudden. The three men couldn’t defeat me, so they killed the two men who had wanted to rob me. The three men seemed quite powerful, it’s such a shame that Hairless Chicken and my Sky buddy couldn’t beat those men and at last we let them get away.”

Wolf Fang and Nangong Li looked at each other at a loss, feeling the boy really wasn’t thinking in a normal way.

“Did the three men send out black air?” The King didn’t show a surprised look on his face.

“That’s right. How did you know about this?” Feng Xi never expected that his leader would know about that.

“There are lots of men like them showing up in the Netherworld. They are all over this land. I just received the message which said that those people seem to be plotting something right now. I have already sent someone to investigate this. Xi, you should stay in the Palace these days.” The King explained that. He had already ordered someone to dig into the whole thing.

“OK.” Feng Xi seemed to be a little disappointed.
