The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

124. Feng Xi’s Luck

Translator: Joy

The previous life-or-death battle had quickly turned around.

Due to the sudden appearance of these three strangers, not only the Hoare Family was beaten black and blue, but they owed the Sura Family a hundred thousand purple crystals. This news spread throughout the northern territories at a lightning speed and quickly everyone knew that the Hoare Family had lost to a nameless small force and was even threatened!

There wasn’t a single person who sympathized with them but there were a lot of people who came to see the drama.

For a time, this news gave rise to much discussion in the northern territories. Many people were waiting for the Hoare Family to counterattack because the Hoare Family was famous for keeping their great honor. However, under the deliberation of others, a month had passed and there was no movement form the Hoare Family. They even brought back the disciples that were training outside.

This action clearly conveyed the Hoare Family’s attitude toward this situation which caused the people that were ridiculing them to swallow their words. To be able to scare the infamous Hoare Family into hiding, it seemed that the Sura Family had extremely powerful people supporting them.

With this understanding, the forces in the northern territories all concluded that they could provoke the Hoare Family but under no circumstances were they to provoke the Sura Family!

The Hoare Family never thought that this incident would earn the Sura Family such a great reputation.

If they had known it, they probably would’ve vomited blood until they died. They really had sent the helve after the hatchet!

On the outside, the news had spread like wildfire but within the Sura Family, it was strangely quiet. The reason was none other than the great figure that Feng Xi had brought. The people of the Heaven Realm couldn’t even invite him, but he had descended in a small valley. What a shock!

As a result, although the Sura Family were the victors, no one dared to make a racket in the valley. It was very difficult for the youths whose adrenaline was pumping through their bodies. They didn’t even dare to walk like they normally would and would only whisper into each other’s ears as if they were afraid that any loud noises would cause the King of the Netherworld to become unhappy!

Even Carendra and his group were helpless in this situation. After all, their image of the King of the Netherworld was extremely grand when they met him in person, and it felt unreal. In front of the king from the legends, they could only carefully do their work. As such, they couldn’t be blamed because they were also panic-stricken!

The ‘cute’ reaction from the Sura Family was naturally seen by someone as they burst into laughter.

“Master, the people of the Sura Family are so cute, haha…” Huo Linglong’s image was distorted as she laughed. In Feng Xi’s eyes her alluring image turned into that of a madman. She didn’t realize it herself as she continued, “Yesterday, I met two disciples of the Sura Family who were walking like cats and were whispering in each others’ ears. Seriously… It’s seriously too funny!”

The King of the Netherworld’s expression remained unchanging even when Huo Linglong’s face twisted with laughter in front of him.

Feng Xi had just been staring at Huo Linglong because the woman’s attitude was drastically different compared to before. Her respectful attitude at the Heaven Peak Palace seemed to be gone as they hadn’t left for very long and this woman had revealed her true self. Therefore, Feng Xi strongly felt that like him, Huo Linglong was extremely afraid of Uncle White!

Originally Feng Xi had wanted to bicker with her but when he saw Leader’s reaction, he thought about it a bit. Then he decided to mimic the Leader and drank his tea while ignoring that person!

Huo Linglong discovered that nobody supported her and laughed for a while until she had enough. She changed her stiff expression and said in a warm but quiet tone: “Masters, I will go boil some tea!”

Feng Xi was immediately dumbstruck.

After Huo Linglong left, the King of the Netherworld put down his teacup. He reached over to hold Feng Xi’s chin as he licked the tea that was on his lips and quietly said: “Her personality is like this, so you don’t have to pay attention to her in the future. Xi only needs to ignore her!”

Feng Xi’s mind had already been blown by the affectionate actions of the King of the Netherworld.

It wasn’t until he heard a knock on the door that Feng Xi came to himself. Huo Linglong probably used boiling tea as an excuse to go to the Heaven Rock Pavilion to flirt with the young disciples, so Feng Xi ran to open the door himself. When he saw it was Carendra and his father, he let out a sigh of relief. Feng Xi immediately pulled them. “The Leader’s here, quickly come in!”

Fortunately, both had met the King of the Netherworld before, so they weren’t as reserved. After they finished up the valley’s work, Carendra and his father immediately came over!

“Jambhala (Carendra) greets the King of the Netherworld!” They immediately saluted respectfully when they saw the King of the Netherworld seated in his chair.

The King of the Netherworld nodded expressionlessly.

After he saw that the King of Netherworld showed no signs of displeasure, Jambhala deliberated a bit and said: “It was all because of Your Majesty that the Sura Family was able to escape this calamity. I thank Your Majesty on behalf of everyone in the Sura family. In the future, if there is anything that the Sura Family can help with, then please don’t hesitate to ask!”

“Is there anything else?”

“This is a detailed map of the northern territories. Your Majesty can use this map if you are going to tour the northern territories.”

Jambhala took out a black crystal and handed it to the King of the Netherworld. This was what the Sura Family had recorded regarding the northern territories. Most of the places they had gone to themselves and the places they hadn’t been to were copied from other people’s maps so it was much more detailed than any other map that could be bought. The northern territories were too vast so they couldn’t have gone everywhere. Some places were especially dangerous, and the Sura Family didn’t have the power to explore.

The King of the Netherworld didn’t refuse. Although he was able to see all the northern territories in his head with his divine detection, it was still more convenient to have a map.

However, Jambhala had guessed wrong. They weren’t here to go sightseeing.

“I want to see too.” Feng Xi’s actions were faster than his words. As he spoke, he had already stretched out his hand. As a result, what had just been handed to the King of the Netherworld had already been taken by him.

Carendra and his father stared speechlessly at each other and then asked to be excused.

The King of the Netherworld was unperturbed and waited for him to finish looking before asking: “Does Xi understand the map?”

Feng Xi looked up at the ceiling, “Only so-so.”

The King of the Netherworld didn’t expose him and said: “Since you understand it, then when we go, Xi can lead us!”

“…” Xi was silent for a while but because he didn’t want the King of the Netherworld to look down on him, he then immediately puffed out his chest, “Of course I can lead you!”

The next day, after Feng Xi finished packing, he left with the King of the Netherworld. After a hundred days, they would have to go to the Heaven World to attend that princess’s birthday celebrations. Therefore, the matter regarding the veins of ore had to be dealt with beforehand because even if they found a vein of ore, it would be in vain if they didn’t protect it. They had to be fully prepared!

Besides Huo Linglong who liked to get in on the fun, Carendra also left with them. The four persons went together while everyone else was left in the valley. Although people might not rashly rush over because of the incident with the Hoare Family, there should still be a strong person left to keep watch. Since Jambhala was the Sect leader, he was naturally left behind, but the God of Books and the others also stayed. The King of the Netherworld was by Feng Xi’s side so there was no need for them to go.

The God of Books could only sniffle and wipe away his tears as he watched them leave. They had really wanted to go with them to see the vein of ore.

As a God of Books, only theorizing it on paper wasn’t enough. He also needed to see it to keep up with the times!

Unfortunately, the King of the Netherworld didn’t give him any chance to put it into practice!

The continuous mountain ranges were like an enormous green dragon that was curled up and resting. At a glance, it looked like a world of green gems. The air was filled with the scent of fresh grass and anyone who smelt it would feel refreshed.

The scenery was beautiful but there wasn’t a single sign of human habitation in these mountain ranges. It was covered in a primeval forest in which unknown demon beats lived. As a result, most cultivators entered the forest in pairs. They depended on hunting demon beasts to survive so there a small city was gradually being formed at the base of the mountains. Once the economy developed, the population would slowly increase.

This was the northwestern area of the northern territories which had the least number of mountain ranges. It was the most unsuitable place to be looking for the vein of ore because the largest mountain range in the northwestern area was right in front of them.

The four of them stood at the top of the mountain and looked down at the scenery for a long time…

Huo Linglong glanced over at the young boy who was staring straight ahead and smirked: “I thought we are going to the southeast? This place seems like the northeast!” Her tone obviously meant to ridicule him.

Carendra looked at the composed King of the Netherworld and then looked over at the sullen Feng Xi. Then he decided to keep his mouth shut and look at the sky!

He remembered the hundred thousand purple crystals that the Hoare Family delivered to the Sura Family yesterday. As a result, he unashamedly ended up putting them in his pocket as if he was protecting them for the Sura Family. It seemed if a person was shameless, then they would have no enemies in the world!

“Tut-tut. The southeast is in the completely opposite direction of the northwest. It seemed that someone didn’t look at the map!” Huo Linlong had no intention of letting Feng Xi go and continued as if no one was there.

Feng Xi bit his lips. He had been listening to these sorts of insults the whole way.

“Linglong.” The King of the Netherworld suddenly called Huo Linglong.

Huo Linglong immediately smiled and asked, “What is it, Your Majesty?”

The King of the Netherworld glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and lightly said: “You can return first!”

Huo Linglong’s smiling face immediately went stiff. After a long time, she began to speak, “Your Majesty, I would still like to serve you… And the Little Master.”

“Xi is also your master, I hope that you won’t forget again.” The King of the Netherworld lightly reminded her but didn’t look at her again.

“… Yes.” Huo Linglong lowered her gaze, “I will remember.”

“Right now, you can return first.” The King of the Netherworld continued: “Tell the leader of the Sura Family that a vein of ore has been found here.”

Following the words of the King of the Netherworld, the Crystal Mouse that was lying on Feng Xi’s shoulder suddenly began to chirp…
