The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

144. You Don’t Have a Choice

Translator: Ning LL

“My leader, did he die?” Feng Xi asked that through gritted teeth with an indignant look.

If his leader hadn’t stopped him from going down, he would have run over and give a few kicks to Ice Qilin.

Feng Xi had never thought that such kind of thing would happen to him. It was already too late when he realized that. A certain kind of smell seemed to be lingering by his mouth. Then, Feng Xi grabbed the King’s sleeve and wiped his mouth fiercely. When he finally couldn’t smell that scent, his mouth had already turned completely red due to the rub and seemed to be about to be broken.

“Not yet, but almost.” The King answered impassively with his cold eyes fixed on the Ice Qilin who was in a confused state of mind, making the latter’s hair all standing up.

This incident could be considered as a blessing in disguise. Ice Qin got dazed due to this, so it had been knocked out by the King before it had any time to react. The King hadn’t shown any mercy to it, so its head was still a mess when it had hit the pillar. As a result, the King managed to sow a seed in its soul easily.

Sowing a soul seed was a way of controlling. The party who was under control could only listen to the order of the one who had sowed the seed in his head. The one who had planted the seed could explode it at any time if being disobeyed. Even for a Spiritual Beast like Ice Qilin, it was still hard to recover its broken soul. Also, the soul seed had a destructive power. The one who got one in the head might be blown to pieces at any time.

The King had wanted to let Feng Xi sign a contract with Ice Qilin. However, given what had happened, the King now had another thought, which was giving the piece of Ice Qilin’s soul to Feng Xi so that the latter could control the beast straightly.

Feng Xi’s eyes sparkled and he asked vigorously, “Do you need my help?”

Those words sounded quite evil. It seemed that the boy was afraid that Ice Qilin wouldn’t die quickly and wanted to give the beast a few more attacks.

Though Feng Xi sometimes seemed carefree about everything, he still knew that he couldn’t allow others to kiss him so randomly. As the saying went, one should be loyal to love. When Feng Xi had chewed those words, he found them quite reasonable. However, he didn’t want to be loyal to love but only to his leader! Others meant nothing to him!

He always found kissing very comfortable and funny, but only with his leader! Feng Xi had seriously considered about it.

What a paragon of chastity!

However, just now, his lips had been kissed by Ice Qilin. Although it was a slight touch, Feng Xi was still furious that he wanted to crush Ice Qilin. It was so rare that he wanted to be a paragon of chastity. Now that he was kissed by Ice Qilin, his great goal of becoming a chaste man was ruined.

Even if the King wasn’t mad, Feng Xi would have beat Ice Qilin too. Also, the boy still felt that the punishment of being blasted off its back was not fierce enough, so he shook his fists in front of Ice Qilin to threaten the latter. Funny as the boy might seem, he still managed to fully express how angry he was. However, when Ice Qilin happened to see his movement, there was only the word ‘childish’ flashing in its head.

“Xi, how do you like to help?” After the King heard the words of the boy who was on his back, the look on his face suddenly turned better. Still, the King looked quite intimidating now.

Feng Xi jumped off from the King’s body and answered that question with his action. A few steps brought him to the Ice Qilin. Because the King had already planted a seed in the beast’s head, it had shown its original shape. Ice Qilin had a large figure, which made Feng Xi look very small in front of its body.

Feng Xi pulled Ice Qilin’s hair and stepped on the latter’s belly to climb onto its back. After that, Feng Xi crawled along its head and then sat on its fluffy chest. Then, he took out a small knife from his ring. The knife which he had picked up from the Weapon Palace was a Profound Weapon of the excellent level and would cut clean through iron as though it were mud. Even the double knife that Carendra had taken out from the Weapon Palace couldn’t be compared to this one.

“I’ll cut its teeth. Let’s see if it will kiss others again.” Feng Xi opened Ice Qilin’s mouth and then drew the knife which was flittering toward the largest two teeth of Ice Qilin.

Hearing his words, Ice Qilin nearly foamed at the mouth.

‘Damn it, I just kissed you accidentally, is it really necessary to cut my teeth? You two are so unreasonable! What’s so wrong with my teeth? Do they bother you? Such an unlucky year, this year is the unluckiest year for me!’

As Feng Xi was about to cut its teeth, Ice Qilin started to get anxious right away and stopped Feng Xi at once.

“Stop! Damn it, wicked boy. If you dare to touch my teach, I’ll never forgive you.” Ice Qilin still needed to chew things with its teeth. Without his teeth, he would not only have difficulties in eating things but also looked very ugly. Ice Qilin was very proud, so he would never let his teeth go missing.

Hearing that, Feng Xi was irritated at once and moved the knife closer to the beast, “You won’t forgive me? I won’t forgive you either! Let’s see who’ll be doomed first!”

His words sounded like a tongue-twister, which made Ice Qilin gnash its teeth.

As the beast glanced at the expressionless King, it knew that it would have to take a beating today. If the beast dared to argue with the boy, the man might destroy it right away. ‘This is so not fair! So not fair!’ The beast thought.

The poor beast had lost its first kiss which he had reserved for countless years and the one who kissed its lips even complained first. The same thing had happened to the young members of Ice Qilin’s family before. The beast tended to shield its families, so at that time, it had always forced the ones who weren’t as strong as it was to apologize.

That was quite an interesting turn of events. Ice Qilin finally learned what it was like to be bullied.

It turned out that being unable to speak one’s grievance was so frustrating!

“You, you, you… what the hell do you want? I admit defeated!” Having pondered for a while, Ice Qilin found that even if he wanted to put up a fight, the time bomb in his head wouldn’t allow him to do so. The beast was afraid that the man would set off the seed all of a sudden and then it would vanish in this world for real. Like what its descendants had said, ‘Our ancestor is everywhere.’

It was never too late to revenge!

Ice Qilin decided to bear the insult first. One day, it would have its revenge!

Feng Xi was very satisfied that Ice Qilin had taken the hint so fast. As he waved the knife in his hand, he thought for a while. Then he said, “I’ll let you go and give up cutting your teeth if you agree with my three requests.”

“Say it.” Snapped Ice Qilin.

“First, remember to brush your teeth when you are out.” Feng Xi had made it up by claiming that he had three requests. Before he could think of which requests he would make, Ice Qilin already agreed to him. Then he just uttered those words randomly.

Ice Qilin nearly choked after hearing that request. Although the request sounded funny, Ice Qilin still understood the potential meaning of the boy’s words. ‘You hate the fact that our lips have touched each other and don’t want your smell lingering in my mouth. Come on, what an evil boy! I don’t want to keep your smell in my mouth either!”

“You want me to wash my mouth, right? That’s simple. I also want to do that. What about the second one? Say it now, we are running out of time.” Ice Qilin’s mouth twitched. It was impossible to reject that request anyway since King of the Netherworld was glaring at the beast now. The man seemed to be waiting for the beast to make an offensive move so that he could destroy it at once.

Ice Qilin’s words reminded Feng Xi. Then he asked confusedly, “Hey, do you know where the Qilin’s Spirit is? I couldn’t find it anywhere up there. Do you have it with you?”

Ice Qilin, mouth twitched again, said, “Have you plundered my treasures? You have taken away all the treasures in my pavilion?”

“What kind of a person do you think I am? Of course not!” Feng Xi stared at the beast for a long while and then shouted that while looking at the Ice Qilin as if he was looking at a moron, “The things in the pavilion are too few. I have also put everything that’s in your side palace in the ring. Just relax.”

Ice Qilin was startled by Feng Xi’s loud voice. When it came back to its sense, it had thought that the boy had left some things to him at last. However, as a pleased look started to appear on its face, the boy’s following words broke its illusion.

‘Shit! Shit! Shit!’

Ice Qilin was enraged with its lips trembling. That’s right, the side palace. He had also had a lot of treasures in the side palace. Though those things weren’t as valuable as the ones in the pavilion, they were also considered very precious in the God and Demon Kingdom. As a result, well… now nothing was left there.

“You, you, you… this is stealing… you have stolen things. This is so wrong! You naughty boy!! What do you have to be a thief instead of a righteous guy! Don’t you feel ashamed?” Ice Qilin raised its claws and wanted to poke the boy’s eyebrows. ‘All my treasures, they are all gone!”

Feng Xi goggled at him and said with his chin up, “You are wrong! I am a thief master! Not a thief!”

“…” Ice Qilin was speechless.

‘Why does this kid think that a thief master is better than a thief?’

‘Aren’t they both thieves?’

‘Does this kid think that being a thief master is a glorious thing?’

‘Is it possible that… being a thief is a trend in the outside world?”

Furious as it was, Ice Qilin was even unable to speak. Now it realized that the boy truly had thought that way. ‘Look how he hold his head up! He’s not ashamed at all, but actually proud of himself! What a barefaced boy!’

After being provoked a few times, Ice Qilin was furious with its chest moving up and down. Feng Xi who was sitting on its body felt as if he was on a swing now. As he was wondering what had happened, he suddenly felt his arms being tightened by something. He raised his head and found his leader already coming over. After the King took the boy down from the Ice Qilin, he looked at the beast and said coldly,

“You don’t have a choice.”
