The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

Chapter 195: So He was a Good-looking Man

Translator: 飞弹

Feng Xi, who was dragged by King of the Netherworld to go for Uncle White, slouched around all the way. The two of them quickly arrived at the side hall.

When they entered the hall, the servants who were cleaning the side hall stopped and saluted them respectfully.

Seeing that he couldn’t escape, Feng Xi could only resign himself to fate and was dragged over here. He looked around and didn’t see the figure of Uncle White. He couldn’t help but ask the nearest servant to them, “Where is Uncle White?”

“He seemed to have led a person whom you brought into the room just now, and I haven’t see him come out yet,” the servant thought for a moment before giving an approximate idea of what had happened.

Feng Xi immediately said to King of the Netherworld with a forced smile, “Uncle White is probably busy teaching Little Ling. Now that he doesn’t have time now, how about coming here again another day?”

King of the Netherworld glanced at him and revealed an inconspicuous smile on the corner of his lips, “It’s fine to go and have a look.”

“Oh,” Feng Xi was suddenly in low spirits.

This side hall was not small. Although it was only a wing of the palace, it was even bigger than the Quiet Stage Palace, so it needed so many servants to clean it. There were some valuable things that nobody was allowed touch in the side hall, which was why Uncle White would come to supervise them personally. There were many guest rooms inside the side hall. Although they were used for treating guests, in fact, very few visitors would come to the hall. So the rooms were often empty.

Feng Xi didn’t know why Uncle White would bring Little Ling here, so he forgot that he had been resisting meeting him at first.

As he followed King of the Netherworld into the side hall, a young man suddenly came towards them, who was a matchless beauty and wore a white gown that made him look like a Taoist immortal. However, his temperament was a little cold, and his eagle eyes were giving out a cold light that made people dare not look straight at him. His whole body was cloaked in a chilly air that made him distant from others, especially his lifeless face, which reminded Feng Xi of Uncle White.

As this thought was just running through Feng Xi’s mind, he immediately divested himself of it. ‘No matter how similar his temperament is to Uncle White’s, it’s impossible for him to be Uncle White who is not so young. Even if his face resembles this person’s, it’s absolutely impossible that they are the same person because of the obviously huge difference in their ages. Uncle White’s face is a little old; he couldn’t be such a handsome man.’

‘However, when did such a handsome person appear in the temple? How come I have never seen him before?’

‘Can he be Uncle White’s relative?’

Feng Xi felt that this guess might be possible. Seeing that the man and Uncle White’s faces were similar, he thought the person may be Uncle White’s son or grandson.

“Boss, who is he? How come I haven’t seen him before?” Feng Xi looked him up and down for a long time and finally asked curiously. However, he was still staring fixedly at the man who walked over. The longer he looked at him, the more he felt that the man was really similar to Uncle White.

King of the Netherworld squinted slightly, as if he was a little surprised. Before he could answer Feng Xi’s question, the ‘strange’ man had already walked up to them. Under Feng Xi’s surprised gaze, he salute respectfully them and said something amazing.

“Your Majesty, are you here to look for me?”

His voice was just the same as Uncle White’s which was so ice-cold. Hearing his tone and manner, Feng Xi was finally shocked. He pointed at the man for a while before he said, “Y-y-y-you are Uncle White?”

“Yes, I’m Uncle White,” the man seemed to have known that Feng Xi would be shocked, so he was not surprised at all. Instead, he calmly gave Feng Xi a definite answer.

Feng Xi was slack-jawed for a while, then he just buried his face into the chest of King of the Netherworld and said in a weak voice like wandering souls, “Boss, I think I just had a dream. I dreamed that the old man Uncle White suddenly became a pretty handsome person. Although his face was still lifeless, his tone still sounded like before, and he even said that he was just Uncle White. I think I must have had too much dreams so that I would think he is Uncle White. Ah, that’s not right, could it be that I dream often so that I would have such a strange dream? Oh, that’s also wrong… ”

The corner of Uncle White’s mouth twitched imperceptibly.

King of the Netherworld held Feng Xi’s face from his chest with his head against Feng Xi’s forehead, saying, “Xiao Xi, you’re not dreaming. Uncle White indeed gets younger, who is right behind you.”

“Uh… Have that bottle of Earth Potion and Youth Returning Pill really worked?” Feng Xi’s mouth fell open. Hearing the boss’s words, his mind finally calmed down a little. He immediately thought of the gifts he gave to Uncle White. If that was the case, the effect of the presents would be too obvious.

King of the Netherworld mused, “As for that, you have to ask Uncle White himself.”

King of the Netherworld felt that the truth of this matter should not be so simple. He had suspected a long time ago that Uncle White’s true identity was the same species as Ice Qilin’s. According to his unlimited life, it should be impossible for him to be older. However, Uncle White did not say it, so King of the Netherworld did not ask about his private affairs either. Now, it seemed that Uncle White must have been under an evil spell at the time. Now his appearance just recovered thanks to the gifts.

“You go ask,” Feng Xi still did not dare to turn around and ask Uncle White.

King of the Netherworld knew that Feng Xi’s still couldn’t change his fear in Uncle White, so he didn’t force Feng Xi. He looked at Uncle White calmly, “Uncle White, what’s going on?”

“Your Majesty, just as you think, I mistakenly barged into the forbidden area outside the Three Worlds when I was young, and I was accidentally enchanted by a magic spell which only existed there. It could make me age and die in an instant, but I could only suppress part of its effect, which was why I looked like an old man before. I have always been indifferent with my appearance, so I didn’t look for a solution to it.” Uncle White explained with an impassive countenance.

King of the Netherworld raised his beautiful eyebrows slightly and seemed to have guessed the answer. “The gift Xiao Xi gave you is just the solution to it so that you have recovered, right?”

“Yes,” Uncle White nodded.

With Uncle White’s stiff expression, King of the Netherworld was keenly aware that something was different. He looked Uncle White up and down thoughtfully, which was accepted by Uncle White with equanimity.

“Little Ling, where have you been? Why do you just come out now? Hey, why does your face turn bright red?”

Feng Xi’s voice broke King of the Netherworld’s train of thought. He saw Feng Xi raised his head happily and looked behind Uncle White. He seemed to have accidentally spotted Feng Ling while the king and Uncle White were talking, and he asked Feng Ling a few questions.

Feng Ling was so embarrassed that if there was a hole on the ground, he would immediately bury himself into it. His face went red like a fresh tomato. When he heard Feng Xi’s words, he seemed to think of something. His expression stiffened slightly, but he couldn’t help but feel his face was even redder.

Feng Xi only thought that Feng Ling blushed as always, so didn’t pay so much attention to his anomalies.

However, King of the Netherworld noticed that Feng Ling was looking at Uncle White from time to time, with a little fear and embarrassment. Every time he glanced at Uncle White, he immediately looked away as if he thought of something, bowing his head lower and face going redder. King of the Netherworld didn’t tell the discovery. He acted so calm as if nothing strange happened.

“I-it doesn’t matter…” Feng Ling kept silent for a long time and only said those three words. He stuttered as always, which didn’t arouse Feng Xi’s suspicion.

“Oh, then you must study carefully with Uncle White, understand? He is knowledgeable and if you have anything you don’t understand, just ask him.” Feng Xi looked at Uncle White and Feng Ling and felt that the atmosphere between them seemed to be a little strange. He just couldn’t figure out what was weird, so he could only exhort Feng Ling on his studies.

“I… I got it. Don’t worry, Mr. Feng Xi, I’ll work hard!” Feng Ling twisted his fingers.

“That’s good, then we’ll leave first. Keep at it. Well, see you later.”

Feng Xi then pulled King of the Netherworld away. He didn’t know at all that his ‘keep at it’ was so ambiguous when it reached the ears of the three “insiders” present. He only cared about leaving and didn’t notice that an interesting drama of “falling while standing” was almost being unfolded by Feng Ling.

Walking out of the side hall, the more Feng Xi thought about it, the stranger he felt.

“Strange, it’s so strange. Why do I feel like something is wrong? They…” Feng Xi raised his head and saw there was a rare smile on King of the Netherworld’s handsome face. The king looked at him, his intense eyes full of smile. Feng Xi touched his face and couldn’t help but ask curiously, “What’s wrong? Is there really something on my face?”

King of the Netherworld held his face and said seriously, “Look carefully and I really see something.”

“No, I remember that I have washed my face in the morning,” Feng Xi believed King of the Netherworld and immediately used his sleeve to wipe his cheek. However, he didn’t find anything on his sleeve, so he raised his head and said, “I can’t see it. Boss, help me wipe it.”

The two of them faced each other. And King of the Netherworld got closer, who blew out his warm breath on Feng Xi’s slightly red cheeks, kissing him under Feng Xi’s surprised gaze…

He just whispered in Feng Xi’s ear, “I’ll help you lick it off.”

There were no figures of speech in his words, but in Feng Xi’s mind, it sounded so sexy. A pink flush spread over his cheeks, and even his ears became hot. Feng Xi didn’t expect that someone who was as cold and strict as the boss would say such words, which really made his… made his… his heart pound without rhythm, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.

But… it turned out that the dirt was on Feng Xi’s tongue?
