The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

128. Changing Faces

Translator: Joy

As a result of the incident, people would steal looks at them wherever they went.

However, Feng Xi was extremely discontent because he discovered that the person that everyone was looking at was his leader. As they walked, his face grew more unhappy. Every time someone would steal a glance, he would glare daggers back. The result… He was ignored.

The King of the Netherworld naturally saw this, but he didn’t pay any attention to it. On the contrary, he was in a very good mood.

After they found a private room at a hotel to stay at, the King of the Netherworld finally rubbed Feng Xi’s head and asked, puzzled: “Why is Xi angry? Could it be that you haven’t let out all your anger from that incident?”

Carendra tactfully went to find the shopkeeper and left the room so that the two of them could have a ‘private chat’.

Feng Xi looked at the King of the Netherworld’s handsome and peerless face and sighed: “Leader, I’ve discovered a very serious problem.”

The King of the Netherworld pulled him into his lap. A faint smile appeared on his face as he said while the corner of his lips curled up, “What serious problem has Xi discovered?”

Feng Xi turned around and looked at the King of the Netherworld with a serious yet grim expression. He stretched out his finger and poked him as he earnestly revealed a serious expression: “Leader, don’t you think that being too handsome is very troublesome?”

“I’ve never thought about that.” The beautiful brows of the King of the Netherworld raised slightly as he held the boy’s face to get a closer look. He said while smiling: “Don’t worry, Xi will never be troublesome in this aspect.”

Feng Xi, “…” That’s not what he meant.

The two people stared at each other. After a while, Feng Xi lowered his head in defeat and then instructed as if teaching a hopeless child: “Leader, I know that I’m very cute, so you don’t have to keep staring at me. Also, I’m not talking about myself. I meant you. Didn’t you realize how many people were gawking at you on the streets? That’s why I said that being too handsome was troublesome.”

The King of the Netherworld’s lips curled up as he said: “I’ve never had this problem before.”

Feng Xi sighed: “But it’s a problem for me!”

A clear smile finally appeared on the King of the Netherworld’s face. He looked at the boy with a pampering gaze as he said while rubbing his head: “Xi doesn’t have to worry about this.”

“How is that possible?” Feng Xi saw that the King of the Netherworld was unconcerned and immediately pouted, “Leader is so handsome that there are definitely people that lust after your beauty. But only I can lust after the leader’s beauty, so I’m worried. Very worried.”

“Then why don’t I just change my face?” The King of the Netherworld was very happy with the boy’s possessiveness. After he heard what he said, the smile on his face only grew wider. Therefore, he didn’t continue chatting with him about this topic as he paused briefly to think. It wasn’t that he had never changed his face before, but because it’s been very long since he’s left the Netherworld, he didn’t change it in advance this time.

“Change faces? As a disguise? Do you need another face before you can change?” Feng Xi had been thinking of this for a while, but he didn’t know whether the leader’s idea of a disguise was the same as his.

“It’s not that complicated.” The King of the Netherworld said as his appearance changed in front of Feng Xi.

As he watched, the gem embedded in the King of the Netherworld’s forehead disappeared and his handsome face became more scholarly. He’s features didn’t lose any of its dignity as his nose bridge remained high and a faint smile curled on his thin lips. His temperament changed and became more mature and refined. It was a face that was hard to forget but compared to the King of the Netherworld’s previous face, it was a bit lacking. The main difference was that his facial features had become softer and gave off a gentle feeling.

Feng Xi carefully looked and then nodded his head in satisfaction, “Okay, we can use this face!”

Although he didn’t want other people to look at the leader’s previous extremely handsome face, he didn’t want him to change into a face that was not so good-looking. That’s why this face was just right. Although it was still above normal standards, it was appropriate!

However…

Feng Xi’s black eyes suddenly started to churn as he coquettishly rubbed against the leader’s chest: “Leader, can you change my face too?”

“Does this face also cause Xi problems?” The King of the Netherworld smiled slightly as he pinched Feng Xi’s cheeks. Of course, he knew that the boy found it fun, so he wanted to try. However, he still pretended that he didn’t understand.

“Yes yes!” Feng Xi nodded his head without hesitation, “Think about it, Leader. If we do something shady and are found out by others, then wouldn’t we be recognized. That’s why we should change our faces so no one can recognize us. What do you think?”

“So, Xi was planning on doing something shady?” The King of the Netherworld said in ‘shock’.

“I’m just saying as an example. I’m not really going to do anything.” Feng Xi saw the King of the Netherworld’s ‘confusion’ and quickly explained. However, when he saw the King’s forced smile, he blinked again, “However… Hehe, it might come in good use.”

“I see.” The King of the Netherworld ‘suddenly realized’.

“Haha, That’s it!” Feng Xi laughed dryly. He guiltily shifted his gaze in a direction as he didn’t dare look at the King of the Netherworld anymore.

It was so obvious that the King of the Netherworld understood with one glance. However, it was true that they should change their faces. They came to the Emerald Dragon Mountains for the vein of ore and they would waste a lot of time if their identities were exposed. The King of the Netherworld also wanted to finish up quickly. Although he didn’t know the Dino Family’s situation, he could guess that nine times out of time, it had something to do with the Dino Chamber of Commerce. Now that their young master was ruined, with the Dino Family’s status, they probably won’t take matters lying down.

The King of the Netherworld didn’t want to waste time on this matter so changing their faces would allow them to avoid this problem.

Carendra waited outside for a while and when he felt that the two of them had finished talking, he carried the plate of pastries and tea that the shopkeeper had given him into the room. When he opened the door and saw the situation inside, he couldn’t help but freeze. The two people that were sitting in front of him were complete strangers.

“Hehe, who are you?” The beautiful boy sitting next to the elegant man suddenly spoke. His dark eyes flashed as his face was full of doubt, as if he had really walked into the wrong room.

Carendra walked in expressionlessly and put the items down. He said: “I’m Ye Sura.”

The boy’s mouth suddenly twitched, “So you’re called Ye Sura. But I don’t know who you are nor did I invite you in. Are you a waiter?”

It didn’t matter how a person’s appearance changed, there was one thing that could never be altered. That was the eyes, which were the window to the mind. This point was very useful in Feng Xi’s case because it was easy to recognize him from his eyes. Carendra originally thought that he had walked into the wrong room, but the key actually lied in the King of the Netherworld. Although his appearance couldn’t be recognized, he had interacted with the King of the Netherworld for a period and knew that his temperament was unique. As a result, he was able to recognize him immediately.

“No, I’m also a guest here. I hope you don’t mind that I’ve entered uninvited!” Since he wanted to play, then he went along with him.

The boy naturally looked up at him and said while biting his lips: “What if I do mind?”

“Then just pretend that I’m not here. I don’t care if you ignore me.” Carendra countered his every word and was so calm which caused the boy’s face to grow more discontent.

“I don’t want to play anymore. You’re not cooperating with me anyways.” Feng Xi pouted as he snatched the snacks from Carendra and started to eat them. However, he was still unconvinced and asked: “How did you recognize me? My face and clothes have all changed.”

Could he have said: whether you changed your face or not, you still look like a mischievous child?

The answer: of course not.

“Your eyes. Your eyes haven’t changed at all. However, this is because I’ve interacted with you for a while so it was easy for me to figure out. Other people probably couldn’t recognize you, so you don’t have to look depressed anymore.” Carendra sighed as he explained while he comforted him.

“Fine, since you’ve guessed right, I’ll give you a reward. The leader will gift you another face.” Feng Xi raised his head and said smiling.

Carendra, “…”

In the end, all three of them changed their face. Unlike Feng Xi, Carendra didn’t need the King of the Netherworld to explain. Once, he saw that the King of the Netherworld had changed his face, he knew that it was very likely it was the result of the incident at the city gates. Nine out of ten times the Dino Family will come to find them. If they wanted to avoid exposing the vein of ore, they needed to resolve this troublesome problem which is why they just directly changed their faces. Of course, they also had to change their clothes as well or else they could be recognized even if they changed their appearances.

The Heaven Fantasy Family had control of Skyline City because the disciples of the Heaven Fantasy Family often went to the Emerald Dragon Mountains to train. In addition to the large numbers of wandering cultivators, the Heaven Fantasy Family helped rebuild Skyline City by providing financial support. The Emerald Dragon Hotel, where Feng Xi and the others were staying, was also owned by the Heaven Fantasy Family.

Yue Ye heard that Feng Xi and his group were at the Emerald Dragon Hotel, so he rejected the city lord’s offer and went with his friend, the man in white, Zong Wuqing, to the Emerald Dragon Hotel. The shopkeeper knew Yue Ye’s identity. Just when he was about to reserve a high-end room for them, he saw Yue Ye shaking his head.

“There were three people that had extremely unordinary appearance that had come here. Where are they right now?”

The shopkeeper froze, and quickly remembered that there were three people that had arrived not long ago. Among them, one of the men’s appearance was extremely handsome. He had never seen such an extraordinary person before, so it had left a deep impression on him. The shopkeeper quickly nodded his head, “Young master, there were three people with extraordinary appearances that had arrived. They are currently in a private room.”

“Led the way.” Yue Ye firmly commanded.

The shopkeeper didn’t dare disobey and immediately led Yue Ye and the man in white upstairs. He stopped when he got to the last private room. “Young master, they are inside.”

“You can go now!” Yue Ye waved his hand, signalling him to leave. The shopkeeper didn’t hesitate as he quickly went back down the stairs.

Zong Wuqing smiled, “You can knock now!”

Yue Ye glared at him. Without hesitation, he lifted his hand to knock when a voice suddenly spoke from inside of the private room, “You don’t have to knock, come in!”

The two people glanced at each other as they thought the person inside had already discovered them. It wasn’t a surprise though. If people of that strength couldn’t discover them who were standing outside, then their power would be questionable. However, thoughts were only thoughts. Since the guest in the room had spoken, Yue Ye didn’t wait anymore. If they didn’t go in, then it would seem impolite. As he thought, he pushed open the door. However, before he got a clear look of the situation inside, an object flew at them.

Yue Ye instinctively dodged, but Zong Wuqing, who was behind him, didn’t expect it.

With a thump, the object landed on his face…
