The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

194. Chapter 194: I Just Won’t Give it to You

Translator: 飞弹

The Quiet Stage Palace suddenly fell silent. Feng Xi just felt the strange atmosphere after a while. He raised his head and found that everyone was staring at him.

Feng Xi couldn’t help but touch his face and muttered, “There seems to be nothing on my face, right?”

The person who didn’t know Feng Xi immediately coughed as if he was saying Fengxi was wrong. However, he knew that their relationship was rather unusual when he saw Feng Xi sitting causally in the arms of King of the Netherworld, so he didn’t directly express his dissatisfaction.

However, Feng Xi thought that the man was telling him that there was really something on his face. He instantly raised his delicate eyebrows and snatched up a white mirror from the crystal table and surveyed himself up and down in it.  But he didn’t find anything on his face. He couldn’t help but look at that person angrily.

The man suddenly felt that he was particularly innocent. Just as he wanted to ask King of the Netherworld order him to go out, Feng Xi jumped the gun and complained.

“Since there is nothing on my face, don’t cough randomly, okay? You just make me think there’s something on it.”

Seeing that King of the Netherworld didn’t react to his hint, the man couldn’t help but say, “Sir, we’re talking about business here. Would you like to be quiet? Of course, if you really can’t be quiet, you can go out for a walk first and wait for us to finish talking before you come back.”

“I’m already very quiet, okay? Besides, what good would it do for me to stroll outside? I’ve been walking around there for hundreds of times. I’m already bored even if you don’t feel stale, “Feng Xi stared at him with a raised voice, thinking that he was definitely quieter just now than usual!

The man really didn’t think he was quiet. He only felt that Feng Xi didn’t repent at all whose words were just sophistry, so he said, “But you have disturbed us.”

“Really?” Feng Xi instantly goggled at the other three, “Tell me, have I disturbed you?”

As soon as Wolf Fang saw Feng Xi, he knew that Feng Xi wanted to refuse to admit it shamelessly. Feng Xi even stared at him with his huge, round eyes as if he was saying, ‘Something will happen if you dare to say that I’ve disturbed you.’ He was keenly aware of his position in King of the Netherworld’s heart and also heard of Feng Xi’s genius for misbehaving, so Wolf Fang had to say something against his will, “No.”

Fire Phoenix and the Master of Transmigration Palace were surprised to see that Wolf Fang would lie. However, as Wolf Fang, who had always been serious about anything, would lie against his will, then it seemed that there must be something wrong. They looked at the innocent expression of the young man and a strange feeling in their mind became stronger and stronger. After thinking for a while, they both decided to say ‘no’ as Wolf Fang did.

When the man heard the three of them say ‘no’, his eyes dilated with surprise as if he had seen a ghost.

“What… what the hell is going on? You… ”

“Hey, did you hear it? They all said no.It’s three to one, and now you know the answer.” Feng Xi smiled happily. He was very satisfied with the clear understanding of the situation of the three of them. ‘Since that is the case, it would be fine if I give them some gifts later. Just treat it as compensation for the welcome gift that I didn’t give before. Where could I find such a good subordinate? They have proved themselves to be my boss’s men!’

Seeing that the man could not say a word, Feng Xi waved his hand. “Alright, go on with your talk about business and I’ll continue reading my book. So we won’t disturb each other.”

Then he ignored the person and continued to look at the page that he had just stopped reading. He was not interested in their conversation at all.

The person failed to confound him. Seeing that Feng Xi was going to give him the silent treatment, it was not good for him to argue with Feng Xi in front of King of the Netherworld. So he could only stop speaking. However, there was still a knot in his heart and he was quite not reconciled to accept it. Feng Xi was just a nobody and he would dare to speak like this in front of King of the Netherworld.

“Your Majesty, I suspect that there should be a mastermind behind the Black Souls, and he seems to be hatching a huge plot. It might be related to the betrayal of the High Priest Dongfang Ao.” Wolf Fang broke the silence. This matter was now classified as the number one issue by the Ghost World. The Black Souls escaped from the Ghost World under his jurisdiction, so he was in charge of it.

“In your judgment, why has Dongfang Ao turned a traitor?” King of the Netherworld thought for a moment and asked.

Wolf Fang answered, “To my eye, Dongfang Ao’s betrayal is likely related to his daughter, Dongfang Ling’er, who has been sentenced to suffering in Red Lotus Hell.”

“That’s right, I also think that the mastermind may have put Dong Fang Ao up to it on condition that he could save his daughter, Dongfang Ling’er. After all, his daughter was the only thing he cared about. Besides, according to his indulgence towards his daughter before, it was definitely impossible for him to easily accept your judgment. That was why he betrayed you when you went out. The plot perhaps had long started before his betrayal,” Fire Phoenix echoed.

“I’m with Fire Phoenix.” The Master of Transmigration Palace also agreed with his statement.

“The situation in the Ghost World isn’t very well right now. I think they probably would do more. After a time, it seems that Your Majesty is going to attend the birthday of Princess of the Heaven World. They are very likely to act during this period.” Wolf Fang said.

King of the Netherworld said, “In that case… Green Dragon.”

Green Dragon was the name the person who just argued with Feng Xi. When he heard King of the Netherworld’s call, he immediately stood up, “I’m here.”

“When I leave the Netherworld, you will lead the four Totem Sacred Lords to guard the four directions of the Ghost World and set up the Four Beast Formation. Before I come back, no one is allowed to open it, and you need to pay close attention to the happenings in the Ghost World. If there is anything strange, you must immediately inform me of it.”

“Yes!”

“In addition, I will send someone here in due course. He will help you. As for the whereabouts of Dongfang Ao, I remember that before he became the High Priest, he had left a wisp of soul mark in the altar divine tower. Transmigration, I will give you the qualification to enter the tower and take out the soul mark. Through it, you should know how to find Dongfang Ao. Fire Phoenix, those people might attack the Underworld at any time too. Send your men to keep it under strict surveillance. Don’t slack off on it.”

“We’ll keep your orders in our mind firmly, Your Majesty!” The four people replied at the same time.

“Hahaha…” Feng Xi was suddenly convulsed with laughter and even hammered the table hard.

For a moment, everyone’s eyes were on him again. Green Dragon frowned hard and did not agree with his behavior. As for the other three, they turned back to ignore him. Anyway, they had already finished talking, whether Feng Xi laughed or not had nothing to do with them. Besides, it would be better for them to be wise for the sake of their survivals.

In fact, Feng Xi had been holding it back for a long time. After he managed to hear that they had finished talking, he just laughed out loud, which already showed enough respect for them.

King of the Netherworld knew his character, but no matter if Feng Xi had interrupted their conversation or not, he wouldn’t blame him. Seeing him laughing so hard and almost collapsed under the table, King of the Netherworld picked him up and put him on his lap, rubbing his back to prevent him from being winded, “Sit still.”

The book had already been thrown away by Feng Xi, which he just finished reading. But the ending of it was too funny, so he was killing himself laughing that he couldn’t even say a complete sentence.

After a while, he managed to breathe easily. Seeing that Wolf Fang and the other three were about to leave, Feng Xi quickly opened his mouth to stop them, “Hey, you guys, wait a minute, I have gotten something to tell you.”

Feng Xi climbed over the crystal table and trotted towards them, “For the sake of your diligent work, I will give you something as a welcome gift.” As he said this, he took out three pieces of green Fruit of the World from his ring.

Wolf Fang and the others didn’t dare to accept Feng Xi’s things in front of King of the Netherworld, so they were about to refuse his gifts when they heard him say this. However, when they saw what Feng Xi took out, their eyes all dilated with surprise. Even the Master of Transmigration Palace who had always been calm was shocked. He was the first to react and reached out his hand to take a piece of it without demur. Seeing that his moves were so fast, Wolf Fang and Fire Phoenix could not help but glanced at him with disdain, but their moves were also not slow.

The three of them smiled. “Thank you very much!”

“You’re welcome, I have plenty of it!” Feng Xi waved his hand and smiled when he saw that they were all fond of it. He had been worried that if they didn’t like it, but now he understood what God of Books had said to him. It turned out that the Fruit of the World was really so precious and rare that even they liked it so much. But what Feng Xi said was very casual, as if the Fruit of the World was just an ordinary thing in his eyes.

The three people looked strange when they heard it.

After giving the presents, Feng Xi turned his head and saw that Green Dragon was already stunned. Obviously, he also saw the welcome gift from Feng Xi.

After a while, Green Dragon finally came back to his senses. Coincidentally, he saw Feng Xi pulled a face at him. Feng Xi tilted his chin upwards and said, “Just not for you!” It was obvious that Feng Xi had a grudge against him. After Feng Xi said that, he turned around and left arrogantly.

The mouth of Green Dragon twitched as he saw the sympathetic looks of Wolf Fang and the other two.

After they left, Feng Xi fell happily in King of the Netherworld’s arms. “Haha, Boss, did you see that Green Dragon would show an upset expression? He just hated me before, but now he’s punished!”

“You are getting more and more vindictive. Green Dragon is just blunt. If he has any dissatisfaction, he won’t hide it in his heart. He’s not bad after all,” King of the Netherworld intimately pinched his nose.

“Who is he? I haven’t seen him before,” Feng Xi sat up straight and asked curiously, ignoring the words about his vindictiveness.

“He is Green Dragon, one of the Totem Sacred Beasts I have told you before. Fire Phoenix is the Totem Sacred Beast called Scarlet Bird, and the other two are not in the Netherworld. If there is a chance, you will meet them.” King of the Netherworld held the hand of his little sweetheart and remembered one thing, “Have you give Uncle White the gift?”

Speaking of this matter, Feng Xi felt a little guilty, “Yes.”

King of the Netherworld looked at him seriously, “What’s Uncle White’s reaction?”

“Uh… I don’t know. At that time… I left first, so I didn’t see how he reacted,” Feng Xi didn’t dare say that he actually had fled in a hurry.

King of the Netherworld seemed to see through his mind and held him in his arms. As he walked outside, he said, “Alright, let’s go and meet Uncle White.”

Feng Xi screamed in an instant, “Ah… no, please!”
