The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

Chapter 179 The Man Who Was Tricked

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Because Dao Pingsheng was dead, the wanted poster was useless and no one paid attention to it!

However, for the sake of dignity, the Tianya Bandit Gang did not remove the wanted warrant, but now basically, not many people paid attention to the wanted poster. The scene of decrepitude and neglect and the heated discussion yesterday formed an extremely clear contrast.

This was the reality. When Dao Pingsheng was alive, many people were afraid of him and they only dared to scold him secretly. But now that he died, everyone dared to talk about him in public. Some even cheered for his death. Therefore, power was the rule and root of the world.

When Feng Xi walked out of the inn, Di Tianhua and her maid had already left. After the two Space Rings and the Supreme Sun Insignia were stolen, they could not continue heading to the north region, so they were probably going back to the Heaven World.

When he checked out, Feng Xi asked the waiter of inn for some information about the Great Plain and left Tiefeng City.

There was a relatively big city 5,000 miles away from Tiefeng City, where there was the most authentic Wind and Blood Alliance in the central region. The leader of the alliance was a subordinate under Nine Heaven Gods. People called him the leader of the Great Qi Alliance. The only way to go across the Great Plain was to take the Transmission Ritual. Otherwise, it would take eight or ten years to fly across the plain, because the Great Plain was extraordinarily wide.

If one traveled unceasingly, it would take two or three months to finish the 5000-mile journey.

Feng Xi felt a headache. He didn’t have two or three months at all but Ice Qilin said that this was a test too, so he refused to help Feng Xi. Therefore, Feng Xi must find his own way out.

Fortunately, the people on the Great Plain obviously also considered this situation, so they had already prepared a way to deal with it.

Two or three thousand meters away from Tiefeng City was a commercial ship alliance. The alliance kept a batch of commercial flying Demon Beasts. Those flying Demon Beasts were Pterosaurs that were very big and could travel through clouds at a rapid speed. Via a flying Demon Beast, one could arrive at the city where the Wind and Blood Alliance was in three days.

Such kind of commercial ship alliance was quite common in the God and Demon Kingdom because they were mostly the assets of Gunilla Chamber of Commerce.

Although the cost of such a convenient transportation method would be relatively high, the Gunilla Chamber of Commerce also had a corresponding solution.

Generally, a flying Demon Beast could hold fifty passengers. The charges varied based on the positions and interior setting of the rooms. The best room cost three purple crystals. Although it was very expensive, it was a good bargain. The other rooms would cost a purple crystal or less. Thus, this kind of method not only satisfied the wish of some rich people to live in a VIP room but also catered to the needs of those who were short of assets.

This was a new launched method. In the past, some people would rather spend two or three months flying than spend a few purple crystals in taking a flying Demon Beast. It was too extravagant and wasteful for them, so they lost a lot of customers.

Now, it was stipulated by the commercial ship alliance that there were 15 Flying Demon Beasts setting off every day. If you missed the flights, you had to wait until the next day.

When Feng Xi rushed to the commercial ship alliance, he happened to make it to the last flying Demon Beast that was about to start, but it seemed that something was wrong, so the departure time was delayed.

“I’m really sorry. I didn’t mean to occupy the quota, but my friend suddenly told me that he couldn’t make it. I couldn’t afford so many crystals alone, so I… I’m really sorry. Could you make an exception for me?”

With his head lowered, a man was apologizing to an angry middle-aged man.

Feng Xi learned that the man made an appointment with his two other companions to head to the Wind and Blood Alliance. They reserved a VIP room and wanted to enjoy a night. Each of them chipped in one purple crystal and they all would live in a room. This man had been waiting here since this morning but for some reason, his two companions suddenly went back on their words and didn’t show up at the last minute, whereas the flying Demon Beast was about to take off.

The man couldn’t afford three purple crystals and asked the middle-aged man if he could change the room.

However, how could anyone change his room with the man now? Moreover, a VIP room required three purple crystals. Ordinary people couldn’t afford it. There were not so many rich people on the Great Plain, so by now no one would like to change the room with him. The middle-aged man insisted that he pay the other two purple crystals, but the man obviously couldn’t afford it. He asked the commercial ship alliance for credit but the middle-aged man refused his request, so the negotiation remained deadlocked.

Obviously, the man was fooled by his two companions.

The man obviously knew about it too, so he gave a bitter look. However, he didn’t have many friends, so who could he turn to for help?

“I don’t care what you do. Anyway, if you cannot pay another two purple crystals within an hour, you will be blacklisted!” The middle-aged man stared coldly at the man who was anxious in cold sweat. He wasn’t sympathetic about the man at all. It was fair enough to say that he was really hard-hearted!

The man had a bitter feeling in his throat.

It seemed that he could only give up, which meant that his purple crystal couldn’t be retrieved. He had done a lot of chores for others for one year to earn it. Now it would be spent for nothing.

“May I ask if this flying Demon Beast is the last flight today? I wonder if there is any extra room.”

Just as the man was about to give up, a soft voice suddenly came without a heads-up. It was like a beam of sunlight that instantly shone the man and cast away his gloominess. The middle-aged man was also surprised. He looked towards the direction of the voice and a young man in black squeezed out from the crowd.

“Yes, yes, are… are you also going to the Wind and Blood Alliance?” The man immediately took the opportunity. Because he was too excited, he was a bit stuttering. He was even very careful while asking the question. However, on second thought, his excitement was understandable.

“I want to go to the Wind and Blood Alliance. I wonder if there is any more room.” The young man in black stared at him with his dark and bright eyes.

“I… I…” The man probably felt a bit sorry, so he stuttered for a long while.

The middle-aged man pushed him away impatiently at once, saying to the young man in black, “Sir, there is a VIP room now, but this person has already paid one-third of the fee. In other words, if you are willing to live in the room with him, you just have to pay half of the fee. Of course, if you don’t want to, I can ask him to let you have the room. Anyway, he can’t afford the full fee of the room.”

After he said this, he glanced at the man contemptuously. The latter was so embarrassed by his gaze. He lowered his head and could not refute at all.

The man could already imagine that the middle-aged man wouldn’t give him another room tomorrow, so when he heard his words, he suddenly became a little anxious, but the more anxious he became, the harder it got for him to say anything. In the end, he could only make himself more and more anxious. However, at the moment, he heard the beautiful voice of the young man.

“No need. I will pay the remaining two-thirds.”

The young man in black was Feng Xi. He only got five billion purple crystals from a woman last night. It was two purple crystals only, which was only a hair off a bull’s back to him. He immediately took out two purple crystals from his ring and passed them to the middle-aged man. The latter didn’t expect him to be so straightforward. After being dazed for a moment, he fetched the crystals. As to the man, he had been dumbfounded.

The dumbfounded man was finally kicked into the flying Demon Beast by Feng Xi. Even after the flying Demon Beast took off, he still looked dumbfounded.

Feng Xi, who had been paying attention to the man, didn’t notice that two people followed him to the flying Demon Beast. They were very generous. They just directly threw a few purple crystals to the client of a room and then took over the room. To avoid Feng Xi’s attention, they chose a low-class room.

“Princess, since you didn’t see who stole your rings and the Supreme Sun Insignia given by the World Master, why are you following that man?” Long Shi didn’t understand what Di Tianhua was doing.

With a gloomy face, Di Tianhua said, “No, I didn’t see it, but I just feel that person is not simple.”

“Princess, I know you are anxious in your heart, but I think the priority should be going back to the Heaven World. Since such a thing happened, World Master can’t allow you to continue searching around. Moreover, although your things have been stolen, your rings and the Sun Insignia have the marks left by World Master, so we should go back to World Master so that we can find out where the things are. If they are really stolen by the young man, World Master will be able to feel them.”

Long Shi felt that there was no need to waste time on a stranger. Instead, she thought the princess did so just because she was reconciled.

“I will go back, but it’s not now. I know what I’m doing. No need to say anything more. I’ve made up my mind!” Di Tianhua snapped.

Long Shi shook her head with a sigh and eventually said nothing.

Feng Xi was very interested in the man who was tricked by his companions. The man thanked him stammeringly. Feng Xi didn’t expect to see such an honest man on the Great Plain. No wonder his companions wanted to fool him. He really looked like a pushover, which made Feng Xi think of that he also had experienced similar things in his past life.

Just as he was sighing, Ice Qilin’s unceremonious scolding voice came in his mind.

“You idiot. You have been stalked!”
