Feng Xi returned to Quiet Stage Palace in panic. He suddenly felt that he couldn’t understand the world anymore.

King of the Netherworld raised his head and saw Fengxi was in a trance. He couldn’t help but wonder if something had happened in the side hall that shattered him. He got up and walked down to pick him up and went back to his seat. Seeing his little sweetheart was still distant, the tips of his eyebrows twitched, “What happened to you?”

Feng Xi seemed to just notice King of the Netherworld now. He raised his head, suddenly becoming excited, and stuttered like Feng Ling did, “B-b-b-boss, I, I … I found a stunning secret that Uncle White and Feng Ling … No, it was Ice Qilin, no, that’s not right. It was Uncle White who …”

“Take your time ─ there’s no hurry,” King of the Netherworld saw that Feng Xi was so excited that he couldn’t finish even a complete sentence, so he stretched out his hand and rubbed Feng Xi’s back to appease him.

Feng Xi also felt that he was too excited, so he quickly calmed himself down. After a while, he said slowly when he was not so agitated, “Didn’t I say before I would investigate the cause of Uncle White’s unusual behaviors? So I went to the hot springs in the rockery of the side hall and waited. Then I saw Ice Qilin running in furtively, followed by Uncle White and Feng Ling who also entered the rockery. I dodged behind a rock while Ice Qilin was hiding in the water. Then we heard Uncle White wanting Feng Ling to get undressed …”

Feng Xi said a lot, which was wordy. Although most of his words could be omitted, his excitement had not yet subsided, so he was still a bit exhilarated at the moment that he managed to finish talking.

King of the Netherworld finally knew what he was excited about.

“Xiao Xi, what you mean is that Uncle White and Feng Ling were originally rolling in the hay when they were interrupted by Ice Qilin, which made Uncle White very angry that he wanted him to give the Ice-fire Miracle Pellet as compensation.” King of the Netherworld set out the whole process with only one sentence, which was succinct.

Feng Xi nodded. “You’re right, but I’m not sure about what happened after that. It seemed that Little Ice got angered by Uncle White’s compensation claim, so he was involved in a punch-up with him.”

“Xiao Xi, are you sure that Uncle White and Feng Ling were doing that kind of thing at that time?” Although Feng Xi told to him with confidence, King of the Netherworld still doubted the first sentence that he said.

“Yes, Uncle White clearly told Feng Ling to take off his clothes and apply something like personal lubricant. Feng Ling was ashamed and said that it would hurt, yet Uncle White let him endure it. All these words certainly show that they were doing that kind of thing!” Feng Xi felt that his judgment wouldn’t be wrong.

King of the Netherworld laughed. “So Xiao Xi, it means that you only heard them and didn’t see it with your own eyes, right?”

Feng Xi couldn’t help but rub his head. “Yes, I didn’t see it, but it shouldn’t be wrong. Boss, you don’t think it’s true, do you?”

“You have to see this sort of thing with your own eyes before you come to a conclusion. Sometimes, you can’t make sure it’s true according to what you hear,” King of the Netherworld said significantly.

“But … ”

Feng Xi wanted to say something but King of the Netherworld interrupted him, “Why don’t you go to get Feng Ling and ask him?”

“That’s okay. Then I’ll go and get him quickly. I need to ask him, or it’ll be too uncomfortable for me to keep the doubt bottled up.” Feng Xi had been thinking about this question on his way back and he couldn’t figure it out even if he racked his brains. When he heard the boss’s words at the moment, it all clicked into place. Instead of thinking it over to make his head hurt, it would be more direct for him to ask the person involved.

When the maid came over, Feng Ling just finished dressing himself neatly and was staying in his room. When he heard King of the Netherworld calling him, he immediately went to Quiet Stage Palace after the maid.

When they arrived at Quiet Stage Palace, Feng Ling saw Feng Xi and King of the Netherworld in the crystal seat. Just as he was about to salute them, Feng Xi hurriedly stopped him.

“Little Ling, so you’ve come. By the way, are you okay?” Feng Xi jumped down from King of the Netherworld’s lap and trotted to Feng Ling. Seeing that he seemed to be all right, Feng Xi couldn’t help but feel a little strange. He remembered that it was impossible to be well after doing something like that. Wouldn’t his legs be too weak to walk?

Feng Ling didn’t know why Feng Xi asked him about it. He only regarded it as Feng Xi’s concern for him, “Mr. Feng Xi, I’m fine. Nothing’s happened to me.”

It was Feng Xi’s turn to be surprised, “You are really all right? Ur … how about your rear? Isn’t it painful?

Feng Ling was confused by the question, “I didn’t fall to hurt my rear, so it’s not painful!”

‘What?’

Feng Xi walked around Feng Ling and saw that he was indeed all right. He couldn’t help but wonder, “Is the little brother of Uncle White very small? So… ”

Suddenly there was a plonk.

A row of jade slips on the table of King of the Netherworld suddenly toppled over. Feng Xi turned back and saw King of the Netherworld arranging the jade slips again calmly.

“What have you done with Uncle White in the side hall these few days?” King of the Netherworld knew how to come to the point better than Feng Xi, and he knew that Feng Ling was thin-skinned, so he asked Feng Ling from the perspective that Feng Ling could accept.

Feng Ling understood this sentence. “Uncle White saw that my cultivation level was very low and I have been neglecting the cultivation for a few years, which caused my vein to clog up, so he wanted to help me unblock it. He also said that he wanted to help me improve my cultivation level so that I could help him in the future.”

“What, weren’t you doing that kind of thing?” When Feng Xi heard that it was not the answer he imagined, he immediately screamed in surprise, asking suspiciously.

“That kind of thing?” Feng Ling looked at Feng Xi blankly.

King of the Netherworld already understood, but seeing his little sweetheart was still not clear about the situation, he asked, “How did Uncle White help you unblock the vein?”

“Uncle White gave me a small bottle filled with milk-white liquid, saying that applying it to my body could make the spiritual power in the body flow quickly, and I would also become very strong. Besides, the small bottle looked like the Earth Potion that Mr. Feng Xi bought at the auction. Uncle White said that we couldn’t be disturbed, together with the need of getting undressed, so we went to the hot springs.” When Feng Ling recalled it, there was a trace of embarrassment on his honest face.

Feng Xi couldn’t help but ask, “Then why will it hurt?” He felt like he was fooled.

Feng Ling didn’t think about this sentence deeply. He only said, “Because when the Earth Potion was applied to the skin, I felt my skin was burning, so of course it will hurt!”

Feng Xi was speechless.

“Alright, you can leave now,” King of the Netherworld knew that he had already figured it out when he saw his sweetheart seemed to be shattered. He waved his hand and let Feng Ling leave.

After Feng Ling left, Feng Xi immediately fell into King of the Netherworld’s arms and raised his head after a while in dejection, “Boss, it turns out that they haven’t done that. I originally thought they were rolling in the hay.” It sounded like he was very disappointed that they weren’t doing that.

“Uncle White has always been very intelligent. He couldn’t reveal such obvious flaws to you. The biggest possibility is that he deliberately let you notice it to retreat for the sake of advancing, but I think his goal should be Ice Qilin, so he set a trap for Ice Qilin to walk into it.”

King of the Netherworld always knew that Uncle White was not simple-minded. This time, he finally took a fancy to Feng Ling, so he spared no effort in alluring Ice Qilin into the snare. His purpose was to get the Ice & Fire Divine Pellet of Ice Qilin. Once Ice Qilin realized that justice was not on his side, he could only take it out no matter how reluctant he was.

“How crafty!” Feng Xi could not help but say, “No wonder he would reveal such obvious flaws. It turns out that he was intentional.”

Uncle White was so cunning that Feng Xi never imagined that he would fool both him and Ice Qilin.

“Let’s leave them to deal with their own matters. Later an acquaintance will come here, would you like to meet him, Xiao Xi?” King of the Netherworld smiled and stopped talking about Uncle White and Ice Qilin.

“An acquaintance?” Feng Xi looked up at King of the Netherworld, feeling puzzled. ‘What acquaintance would I have?’

“An acquaintance whom you have met once,” King of the Netherworld said but didn’t tell him who it was.

With Feng Xi’s face puzzled, four hours passed by without incident in the temple.

However, in the past four hours, they didn’t see the figures of Ice Qilin and Uncle White. Apart from the first roar, there was only silence. Feng Xi deliberately walked around the temple but there was no sign of them. So he went back to the hot springs to have a look and found that there was a rockery missing, but no damage was found elsewhere.

When he went back, he told King of the Netherworld about it, and the king said that they went to a place to have a fight where they wouldn’t affect the Netherworld.

The two of them hadn’t seen each other for many years, so it was necessary for them to improve the ‘relationship’, but according to the fiery temper of Ice Qilin, after finding out that he had been tricked, he would keep fighting against Uncle White for a few days and nights before he stopped.

Feng Xi took a sip of water. “Boss, what you mean is that they will only come back in a few days? And Uncle White won’t be in the Netherworld these days, right?”

King of the Netherworld knew what he was thinking and couldn’t help but pamper him by pinching his nose, “Unless something unexpected happens, that is true.”

The corner of Feng Xi’s mouth became bigger and bigger. Finally, he couldn’t help but laughed, “It means that I don’t have to worry that Uncle White will suddenly appear and grab my ears these days? Can I do whatever I want and go wherever I want?”

King of the Netherworld nodded and Feng Xi immediately jumped up with a scream ‘oh yeah’. He was just about to roll about on the ground to express his excitement. He didn’t stop until the maid came in to report that there were two people outside to see King of the Netherworld. However, he felt puzzled. ‘Didn’t boss say that there would be only one acquaintance?’

King of the Netherworld guessed that acquaintance had brought someone with him, so he asked the maid to let them in.

“I haven’t seen you for quite a while. And you guys seem to get more and more carefree. The mess in the God and Demon Kingdom hasn’t been solved yet. But you guys just left without any misgivings, which really makes me envious!” The voice came in first before they could see him, and it could show that this person should be an open-minded man who had a direct manner through his frank laughter.

When Feng Xi heard the voice, he felt like he had heard it somewhere. Until he saw the person walking in, he couldn’t help but stare at him.

With the familiar firm face and red eyes, wasn’t it the man he had seen in Red Lotus Hell, whose name seemed to be Yin Mie? But what really surprised him was the person who walked in behind Yin Mie. He had just seen him on the mountain behind Blue Jade Family a while ago, who was Ming Qingyu instead of anyone else!

How could the two of them be together? In addition, Ming Qingyu seemed to be very reluctant to come with Yin Mie.
