The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

148. The Enemy Becomes the Rival in Love

Translator: Ning LL

All the people’s eyes were fixed on Feng Xi.

Ice Qilin’s eyes bulged as if they were about to drop, which made it look quite fumy. The beast stared at Feng Xi with a dazed look. After a long while, it opened its mouth slowly and muttered bitterly, still unable to trust what it had just heard,

“It only… it only took him one year to reach God Sovereign realm… Shit… You gotta be kidding me…”

Only until the others heard those words did they confirm that they hadn’t heard it wrong. After that, they all stopped getting above themselves. However, as they looked at Feng Xi again, the look in their eyes weren’t as disdainful as before. There was a shocked look in their eyes. Actually, even calling Feng Xi a super genius would be underestimating him.

The boy had reached God Sovereign realm after cultivating for a year. His talent was so appalling!

“King of the Netherworld, you do have a pair of sharp eyes! Congratulations!” Mo Feimo reacted the first. He took a few steps forward and congratulated the King earnestly. In the meantime, he felt lucky that he finally reacted faster than others once.

Di Yutian also gave congratulations to the King right away.

Sophora’s face went ugly green as if he had been beaten.

If they knew that Feng Xi could only make that achievement because the King had forced him to cultivate and the boy had spent most of time sneaking out and playing, the looks on their faces would be more astonished. Feng Xi had reached the current realm partly because of Fruit of the World, but it had to be admitted that he was also a lucky boy. Anyway, his great talent was no doubt another reason!

Seeing the look on Ice Qilin’s face, Feng Xi said triumphantly, “Little Ice, tell me, am I a super genius?”

It took Ice Qilin a long while to recover from the shock, and then the beast saw the boy raising his chin complacently. Though Ice Qilin didn’t want to admit that, it also knew that reaching the God Sovereign realm in less than a year was truly impressive. ‘He shouldn’t be called a genius! He’s a wizard!’ Ice Qilin thought.

“You are truly annoying. Even if you are a genius, you still couldn’t defeat your rivals in love right now.” Ice Qilin was the type of beast which would never admit defeat. In order to defend its pride, it found an excuse to retort Feng Xi right away. However, as the beast spoke those words, it didn’t dare to look at Feng Xi and only looked up at the sky at forty-five-degree angle.

Hearing that, Feng Xi even got happier instead of annoyed.

“It doesn’t matter that I couldn’t defeat them now. After I get stronger, you’ll know how powerful I am.”

Feng Xi’s declaration sounded like a threat to Ice Qilin. Then the beast jumped off like a cat the tail of which was stepped on and goggled at Feng Xi, saying, “Wicked child, I am not your rival in love and will never be a threat to you. Look at Sophora, he is your biggest enemy. He’s one hundred thousand years older than you. You have to work hard and don’t get killed by him. Otherwise your lover will be taken away by him!”

Ice Qilin was the first one who had called the King’s enemy an adorer of him.

However, that was also understandable. Now that Ice Qilin became Feng Xi’s Demon Beast, it meant that they were already bound up. Ice Qilin was not a fool and never had the beast doubted the King’s words. Since the boy had reached God Sovereign realm in a year, his future would be very promising. There was no doubt that the boy would make greater achievements in the future. Therefore, if one day Feng Xi was as powerful as the beast, the latter really needed to worry about its future!

Also, it was obvious to see that the boy liked to keep a record of the wrongs. The beast assumed that the boy might repay it for what it had done to him today.

The beast had never considered that someone would dare to assassinate the boy. After all, with such a powerful king by the boy’s side, no one would dare to approach him. Thus after Ice Qilin heard about the boy’s remarkable talent, it drew up a few plans at once.

“Humph! I’ll become more and more stronger! No one can take my leader away from me!” Feng Xi held the King’s arm tightly while glaring at Yu Feihuan furiously.

Sophora rose up in anger. After being fooled around several times, he finally couldn’t help but roar, “You are his rival in love! All your families are his rivals in love! Can you be more shameless?!”

Though he said that, what irritated him the most was that he truly had a little crush on the King.

After all, Sophora was an old guy who was over one hundred thousand years old. He had witnessed the intimate interaction between two men at Degenerate God Ravine, so he knew that two men could be together. However, at that time he had been busy with his own cultivation process and had no interest in these kind of things. Now, the beast just said that he had a crush on the King. That is, that is…

Sophora was terribly upset now. He suddenly started to doubt if he had really held grudges against the King for one hundred thousand years because the latter had defeated him.

The more he thought of that, the King’s image became clearer in his mind. It seemed that the only thing that had supported him for one hundred thousand years in Degenerate God Ravine was the King’s figure. Every time Sophora had taken a beating, the King’s image would appear in his mind. Then, Sophora would regain the will to fight and get through all the difficulties.

‘Is it possible that I… I really…’

Thinking of that, Sophora found Ice Qilin’s words more convincing. That thought had crossed his mind more than once. Every time he thought of that, he wanted to slap on his own face and Ice Qilin’s words nearly shook him to the core.

“You angry face tells me that I am right!” Ice Qilin was not afraid of Sophora at all. As the beast saw the frenzied look on Sophora’s face, it couldn’t help but grin and utter those words.

“I’ll kill you!” Sophora, eyes turning red and face becoming cold, pounced on Ice Qilin right away.

“So you have a crush on him, why are you so furious about it?”

Ice Qilin shook its head. ‘Young people are so easy to irritate. I only said a few words and he already lost his mind.’ Though it was thinking of that, it dodged the attack very quickly. As Sophora was about to touch its body, it stepped backward immediately. However, Sophora was truly enraged. At this moment, he forgot all the movements he had known and only wanted to give a fatal attack. After he saw Ice Qilin dodging him, he rushed to the latter again with a bloodthirst.

Feng Xi and the King stood aside and watched the fight, having no intention to help or stop them.

Di Yuntian and Mo Feimo felt that the situation had gone south. Then they bid farewell to the King and left that place.

Though Sophora used to be a man of the day one hundred thousand years ago, he was still not as powerful as Ice Qilin, the spiritual beast. After they battled each other for a while, Sophora found himself unable to prevail in the current situation, so he gave up attacking on his own and retreated with the help of Ice Qilin’s attack. However, the look on his face still remained icy cold.

“King of the Netherworld, Ice Qilin, stinky boy, I’ll pay you back for what I have been through today!”

Sophora’s glum voice came from far away. It was easy to tell that Feng Xi and Ice Qilin truly had incensed him.

Ice Qilin who had run over also heard those words. The beast touched its nose guiltily and gave a hollow laugh, “He’s too sensitive a guy. I never realize that a few words would make him so angry. You guys don’t need to take it to heart. If he dares to come over again, I’ll definitely take his life away.”

The King looked at Ice Qilin with no expression on his face.

In the meantime, Feng Xi also stared at it with a beaming face.

However, as Ice Qilin saw it, the man and the boy were like two foxes. He had already felt guilty before, and now he got cold sweats all over at once. “Well, I see a lot of people coming this way. Should we wait for them?”

“Let’s go!” The King said to Feng Xi with his head lowered.

Feng Xi nodded tamely at once. However, the look in his eyes seemed a bit evil when he gave the beast a last glance.

Ice Qilin suddenly felt itself so lame that it started to sweat after being glanced at by a young boy. ‘Is that true that a Demon Beast would become a coward after being indentured?’

The Ice World was already destroyed. The large gully in front of them turned into an empty field leading to the outer space. However, this place was enveloped by the fog of the Emerald Dragons Mountain at once. The King seemed to have a certain intention. After he set an access control, he took Feng Xi away from there. Ice Qilin then followed them briskly.

Because the King and Feng Xi had stayed a long while in the Ice World, they had no idea of what had happened at the outer space. After they were out, they found that significant changes had taken place in the outside world.

Before, Mo Dao and Mo Lan of the Dino family were afraid of the King’s power but were still not willing to leave. Therefore, they had spread word that there were mature Crystal Mouses as well as a lode of the highest grade in Emerald Dragon Mountains. As an influential family with lots of connections, the Dino family spread the message fast. All the other big families were shocked by that news nearly at the same time. Then, those families sent lots of their members to Emerald Dragon Mountains instantly, afraid that they would be left behind. Those who lived close to Emerald Dragon Mountains used the Transmission Ritual directly and gathered in the Skyline City quickly.

When Feng Xi and the King were still in the Ice World, those forces had already gone deep into Emerald Dragon Mountains.

As for the five gold puppets that the King had sent to guard at the gate of the Skyline City, they had already been held off by the people of those big families. Meanwhile, after the ten gold puppets who were in the depth of Emerald Dragon Mountains killed all those men in black, they went back to the entrance of the tunnel that Carendra and his people had dug. As a result, those puppets were so visible that they were easily found by those people. At last, those people all gathered at the entrance of the tunnel.

Now, it was really an intense scene. A war seemed to be looming.
