The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

Chapter 189 Gifts for Uncle White

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

The biggest city in the central region was the Nine Gods City. Just as the name implied, it was named after Nine Heaven Gods.

The Nine Gods City was the most important symbol of the Nine Heaven Gods, representing Nine Heaven Gods’s authority. Therefore, no one dared to mess around in the city wherein there were strict rules and order. Every day, guards patrolled back and forth. Once any dispute occurred, the guards would immediately rush over. Anyone who dared to mess around would be expelled out of the Nine Gods City. If the circumstances were serious, they could be forbidden to enter the city anymore.

The Nine Gods City was the largest city in the God and Demon Kingdom wherein a lot of strong cultivators gathered. The number of people of the city hit a record high.

This was all because the Nine Gods City was a huge treasury. Almost all the things that couldn’t be bought in other places could be found here. No matter how rare the treasure was, it could be found in Nine Gods City with patience. Sometimes, magical encounters might occur, so no one wanted to be driven out of the city.

Feng Xi and King of the Netherworld rushed to the Nine Gods City at noon.

The streets of the Nine Gods City were three or four times wider than the ordinary streets that Feng Xi had seen before. On both sides, there were many shops and some peddlers. Passers-by came and went. The city was very lively, which did live up to its fame.

“This is the largest and longest street I have ever seen!” Feng Xi sighed. He looked ahead and didn’t see the end of the street.

“Nine Gods City has existed for many years. After being ruined and repaired again, it gradually developed and became what it is now. As the symbol of Nine Heaven Gods, it is naturally much bigger than the average city.” King of the Netherworld stood next to Feng Xi and looked at the prosperous Nine Gods City. In his impression, the city was still wrecked after the god-demon war.

“I know. It must have been destroyed by the god-demon war.” Feng Xi thought of this cleverly.

With an indifferent look, King of the Netherworld stared gently at his lover standing next to him. He stroked Feng Xi’s head. “Exactly. The god-demon war will break out every once in a while. In addition to some unexpected situations, although Nine Gods City is the symbol of Nine Heaven Gods, it is not indestructible. By now, it has been destroyed for nine times.”

“The god-demon war will break out every once in a while?” Feng Xi had not seen how the god-demon war looked like before, so he could not help but look forward to it. Of course, it was just expectation, not really hoping that the war would break out.

Maybe it was because of the lingering effect of his thought back then that Feng Xi once thought the outbreak of the afterwards god-demon war was caused by his strong expectation. As a result, when he realized that the war was not caused by his expectation but an outcome created by him. As such a sin was labelled on him, Feng Xi just hid away. Yet, that was a later story.

Since Nine Gods City was too big, Feng Xi couldn’t even finish touring around the city if he looked for the way by himself during his tour. Therefore, he got a local to lead the way for them. Having gone through a lot of streets, they finally arrived at the designated place by Feng Xi.

The Nine Gods City had a satisfactory variety of goods. A thing could be bought in more than 50 stores within the same area.

Feng Xi was shocked to see the goods. The person leading the way walked by lots of stores and finally led them to the best store among all. From a distance, they saw the extraordinary facade of the store and the decoration was even much fancier than that of other stores. The high threshold gave a high-end and luxurious feeling. They felt like walking into the residence of an aristocrat.

“Xiao Xi, you want to buy something for Uncle White here?” King of the Netherworld raised an eyebrow. He felt slightly surprised.

Feng Xi chuckled and looked a little treacherous. “Not only Uncle White but also the four maids. They will have gifts too.”

King of the Netherworld looked at him and suddenly guessed what he was thinking about. “I think the things in the store are not suitable for Uncle White.”

It was a store for female customers with a wide range of products, such as rouge, pretty brushes, delicate accessories, and some beauty-care items. It was understandable to King of the Netherworld if Feng Xi wanted to buy something here for the four maids, but if he bought anything from this store for Uncle White, King of the Netherworld could almost imagine the grimaced expression on Uncle White’s face.

“Let’s go inside first. I haven’t decided what to buy yet,” Feng Xi pushed King of the Netherworld into the store.

Ice Qilin and Feng Ling also walked in. They didn’t know Uncle White and the four maids Feng Xi mentioned, so they couldn’t comment at all.

There were four or five young women in the store who were entertaining the clients and introducing them to the use of various things. One of them who saw Feng Xi walk in was surprised at first probably because it was the first time that a group of men came into their store. Then she finally came to her senses and strode over, asking politely, “Welcome. What can I do for you?”

Feng Xi asked, “I want to buy something for four beautiful sisters. Do you have any suggestions?”

“Beautiful women all love to dress up. You may buy some rouge or some good-looking accessories for them. We have everything here. Please feel free to choose yourself. You will find something suitable anyhow.”

“I’ll take both of them. Just show us.” Feng Xi thought for a moment. Since he wanted to send gifts, it would be a bit stingy to give only one thing. He might as well give two things as presents.

“Okay. This way, please.”

The young woman led them to the right corridor, at the end of which there was a staircase leading to the second floor. Judging from their extraordinary appearance and the way they were dressed, they should come from a rich family. Hence, she led them directly to the most expensive area. The second floor was the aristocratic area wherein the items were very valuable and couldn’t be bought in other stores.

Usually, they would observe the customers who entered the store first so as to confirm if they could afford the goods. If the customers could, they would be invited to the aristocratic area.

Feng Xi thought that the second floor might be a little quiet, but to his surprise, he found that more people were on the second floor than the first floor.

“This should be the so-called aristocratic area. Only rich people can come up here,” King of the Netherworld explained to Feng Xi when he saw the surprised expression on his face. Although he had not been to God and Demon Kingdom for a long time, these were hidden rules that ordinary people all knew.

“Oh,” Feng Xi replied. Then he smiled smugly. “Do we look like rich people?” He only cared about the “rich people” part.

King of the Netherworld nodded. “You are not just a rich person now,” King of the Netherworld pointed to his wallet. Feng Xi was super rich now.

Feng Xi got the hint from King of the Netherworld and grinned even more. He also felt that he was an immeasurably wealthy person.

Ice Qilin behind him looked at him with disdain. His fortune was gained by robbery. How could he not feel ashamed at all?

The arrival of Feng Xi, King of the Netherworld immediately attracted the attention of the customers. Because this was the aristocratic area, those who came up here were either rich or noble. Therefore, once anyone came here, everyone would take a look curiously. However, they were all astounded, because the comers were all male.

“These are the most high-end items in our store. You can choose as you please,” the young woman pointed at the row of accessories in front of her, which all looked very dazzling and glistening beautifully. They seemed to contain Spiritual Energy vaguely. In the front row, there was some top-class rouge. Even the boxes looked very exquisite and ordinary people didn’t afford them at all.

“That’s too troublesome. Why don’t you bring the most expensive and best things in your store?”

Feng Xi was light-headed to see the glittering items. Although they were beautiful indeed, he was not a woman and he didn’t like wearing these things. He would rather hold a Demon Beast egg in his arms than buy these things.

The young woman had a glint of surprise on her face. Hearing that, she had an instinct that she met a rich customer.

If the deal could be made, she would get a decent commission. Thinking about that, she asked them to wait for a moment and immediately went to take the keys from the storekeeper on the second floor. The most expensive and best things were locked up. They were for sale too but some of them were too valuable. Most people couldn’t afford them at all, so they were usually auctioned. In this case, they could be sold at a good price and the brand awareness of the store would be enhanced too.

However, they couldn’t be sold at a good price every time, so it also mattered whether the client was generous. The store assistant would make recommendations according to the situation. Hence, upon hearing Feng Xi bring them up first, how could the young woman not feel excited?

The things were sent over very quickly. On a large wooden plate, there were more than a dozen ornaments and boxes of rouge.

Feng Xi didn’t know much about these things. Neither did King of the Netherworld. The two blockheads behind them, either. Therefore, he picked four pieces of accessories and four boxes of rouge randomly. The rouge was the best rouge, which couldn’t be afforded by ordinary people. It was the most sincere and decent gift for women.

The young woman wrapped the things up and smiled sweetly at Feng Xi and the others. “Childe, according to our boss, since you take eight items at one time, you will enjoy a 10% discount. The original total price 28 million purple crystals. Now you only need to pay 252 million.”

Feng Ling was stunned to hear the sum at the back.

Feng Xi got 5 billion from Di Tianhua and didn’t care about this amount of money at all, so he quickly gave her 252 million purple crystals. To his surprise, such a large sum lured the owner of the store out.

Seeing the owner of the store, Feng Xi instantly had a glint in his eyes. It occurred to him what he should send to Uncle White as a present.

King of the Netherworld saw the young man’s sly look and became as if absorbed in thinking.
