The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

Anything that belonged to the Leader belonged to him.

Feng Xi took the invitation and ran back, completely disregarding the Elder Goat who was frozen in position, astonished.

“Leader leader, look, why does everyone use gold to engrave their invitations? It’s so shiny. They couldn’t be competing for which one looks best, could they?” Feng Xi didn’t open it but was curious because of the golden engravings. The invitation from the Hoare Family was like this too but this one was much more exquisite and luxurious than the one from the Hoare Family.

“Most people are naturally like this, but it’s mainly used as a façade.” The King of the Netherworld said while he glanced at the Elder Goat’s astonished face. However, because of that cold glare, the latter started dripping with cold sweat.

“Oh, it’s because they don’t have any money. No wonder everyone uses golden engravings.” Feng Xi suddenly realized and nodded while having a ‘I understand you’ expression.

The corners of the Elder Goat’s mouth twitched twice.

It seemed that the rumor really was true, and the King of the Netherworld was willing to indulge this boy and allow him to do anything. It seemed that Princess Tian Hua really stood no chance. Elder Goat hoped that when the time comes, Princess Tian Hua wouldn’t take the matter to heart and make things worse.

The corners of the King’s mouth curled into a slight curve. He didn’t refute or agree with what the boy had said but there was a slight hint of support.

“It’s just a birthday, why make it so grand? Come to think of it, in my previous life, I didn’t celebrate my birthday once. Before, in the Heaven Phoenix Dynasty, I’ve only been to the birthday celebrations of some magistrates. It was very grand, but besides the fact that there was delicious food, there wasn’t much else.” Feng Xi couldn’t help but recall his previous life. Saying that it was hard wasn’t exactly right. At least he was better off than a beggar and could ‘stand on his own two feet’.

“If Xi wants, I can plan a grand celebration for you.” The King of the Netherworld heard that his voice contained a bit of reminisce and seamlessly furrowed his eyebrows.

“I want presents, I don’t want some banquet.” Feng Xi’s black eyes immediately started to turn as he joyfully laughed. Although a banquet was fun, Feng Xi remembered the magistrate’s birthday celebrations which caused his interest to quickly wane.

The King of the Netherworld had smiles in his eyes and his tone contained a bit of temptation, “If there’s a banquet, you could get more presents. Is Xi certain that you don’t want to organize it?”

“Huh?” Feng Xi’s swaying head instantly stopped. When he finally realized, he immediately nodded his head with joy. However, he found that he himself was overly excited so he calmed down and said as if he was thinking: “If Leader says so, then we can organize the banquet. I don’t mind!”

The slight smile on the lips of the King of the Netherworld became more and more obvious and finally became a beautiful crescent.

The Elder Goat below them opened his eyes in shock.

Upon seeing this, if the Elder Goat couldn’t figure it out then he would’ve lived so many years in vain. From those two’s conversation, he finally discovered that the problem wasn’t the King of the Netherworld, but it was the boy in red. However, if he was able to convince the boy in red, perhaps the King of the Netherworld would attend the princess’s birthday this year.

“This young master, if you like, you can also attend our princess’s birthday banquet in a hundred days. There will also be leading figures of the Three Worlds in attendance. You probably haven’t been to the Heaven World so at that time, you can come view some of the Heaven World’s scenery. Although I’m not sure that the Heaven World’s scenery is the best in the Three Worlds, but I can be certain that the landscape of the Heaven World is one of the most extraordinary sceneries there is.” Elder Goat took the opportunity to explain.

“Oh? Is that it?” Feng Xi tilted his head. His expression was quite subtle. It seemed that he was interested but at the same time he wasn’t.

Beautiful sceneries? You can’t even eat it. It wasn’t even worth the few crystals in his pocket!

Luckily, Elder Goat was proficient in observing people’s expression and actions. Coupled with the conversation the boy had with the King of the Netherworld, he had guessed what the boy liked and immediately said: “Of course there’s more than that. The Heaven World has lots of rare treasures. If the young master wishes, Lord Tian Zun isn’t a stingy person and would be happy to give you some.”

What is farsightedness? What is catering to someone’s pleasure?

Please take a look at the Elder Goat. His words completely pinched at Feng Xi’s veins. As a result, it caused someone to get overly excited and nod his head repeatedly in agreement.

“Elder Goat, don’t worry, I’ll definitely be there.”

The corners of the Elder Goat’s mouth twitched but could only laugh awkwardly. Although his bread looked like that of a goat, he couldn’t just …… ‘but it didn’t matter whether you came or not, it was more important that you bring the King of the Netherworld.’

“All of you can go.” The apathetic voice of the King of the Netherworld suddenly sounded. Even his expression seemed a bit cold.

Elder Goat’s heart suddenly froze and immediately retracted those disrespectful thoughts. Once again, he had started to drip cold sweat and he could only think that with the King’s intelligence, he probably had already discovered his intent. From the King’s tone, he didn’t seem that happy. It seems that there was little hope for the princess’s hundredth birthday!

“I will wait quietly for Your Majesty’s response.”

Despite this, the Elder Goat didn’t dare say anything more. He could only politely respond and then followed Uncle White with the others to leave the Heaven Peak Palace.

The King of the Netherworld expressionlessly looked at the receding figures of the people of the Heaven World while his eyes darkened. He didn’t mind when other people tried to curry favour with his darling, but he didn’t like it when they took advantage of his hobbies. It didn’t matter who it was, he didn’t like it.

“Leader, after a hundred day, why don’t we go to the Heaven World?”

Feng Xi had told the Elder Goat that he would go, but he still earnestly asked the King of the Netherworld. If the Leader didn’t want to go, then he could only reluctantly give up. Although he wouldn’t get those rare treasures, it was originally easy money. Even though he was looking forward to it, he didn’t have to go. Besides, in a bit he would have a Crystal Mouse and would be able to explore the ore veins. This was more valuable than those rare treasures and who knows, he might accidentally become the richest person in the Three Worlds!

“Since Xi wants to go, then there’s no reason not to go!” The King of the Netherworld knew that the boy wanted to go, but he had still politely asked for his opinion. Even if it was on this single basis, he had no reason to refuse. He had already refused the Heaven World’s invitation for a hundred years, so it was about time that he went and at the same time finished up some affairs.

“Yay! The Leader is the best!” Feng Xi was over the moon and threw himself into the King’s arms again.

The King of the Netherworld was already used to this action. Every time the boy became excited, he liked to throw himself in his arms. This subconscious movement made him very happy because it showed that he was special in the boy’s heart. The King of the Netherworld was very dedicated to their relationship. However, if the other didn’t like him, he would rather let him leave than force him to stay by his side!
