 Chapter 199: Ming Qingyu was Tricked

Translator: 飞弹

“Ming Qingyu? It’s really you! ”

Feng Xi was very glad to see his arrival. He didn’t care about the small friction between the two of them in the past. What’s more, Ming Qingyu had saved him on the mountain behind Blue Jade Family. The last time he left, Feng Xi still felt regretful.

However, Ming Qingyu didn’t look well. He only unbent a little when he saw Feng Xi running towards him, yet he was still pulling a cold but handsome face, especially when he looked at Yin Mie that his eyes seemed to be blazing with fury.

“Are you alright?” Feng Xi asked with solicitude instantly when he saw Ming Qingyu look terrible.

“I’m okay.” Ming Qingyu used to treat Feng Xi as an enemy, but ever since he got over it, he was no longer hostile to him. He knew there was no hope, but he wouldn’t pester him like others. Instead, he tried hard to improve his cultivation level. So when he saw Feng Xi showing concern for him, he couldn’t help but move the stiff corner of his mouth to produce a smile. Unfortunately, he failed and therefore his face seemed to contort.

Feng Xi rolled his eyes and whispered, “Why are you with this person?”

Ming Qingyu’s eyes gleamed, but he still answered his question. “I’ve got a bet with him but I lost it, so I have to be his servant for five months.”

Seeing he answered with clenched teeth, which seemed that he was very angry, Feng Xi thought of something, “You lost the bet because he lied to you, right?”

“How do you know?” Ming Qingyu asked in a reflexive action. When he saw Feng Xi’s eyes were sparkling, he was chagrined and suddenly lowered his eyes, regretting that he acted too fast. He knew that the young man was interested in his private affair, but he also realized that ever since he was lured into a trap, he had been on an emotional roller-coaster, which was not a good sign.

Feng Xi patted him on the shoulder to console him and said in imitation of his elders, “Defeats and victories are ordinary things to a general. Don’t care too much about it. You can just lie to him and win the bet next time, or I’m also willing to help you.”

Ming Qingyu remained silent. Even if Feng Xi wanted to help him, he should not say it in front of Yin Mie.

Yin Mie stood beside them with a bright smile, as if he was completely oblivious to Feng Xi’s words. He stared at Ming Qingyu, who was shattered, with his dazzling red eyes. And there seemed to be something else in his eyes, yet Ming Qingyu, face lowered, didn’t notice it.

King of the Netherworld’s eyebrows twitched and he remembered that it was March now, which was in the spring.

Yin Mie fetched two chairs, and then held Ming Qingyu, who was reluctant, onto the seat. He also adopted an air of casualness. Even his posture seemed to be as raffish as himself. His flaming red hair emphasized his flamboyant and bohemian charm, which no one here couldn’t appreciate yet.

“You call me here this time because you want me to take care of the Ghost World, Underworld and Netherworld while you’re away, right? Don’t worry, I will accomplish what I’ve promised you. Oh, I still have gotten some news for you. I’m sure you won’t forget Dino Family. The head of the family called Qing Tian has gone to the God Demon Tower in the Midlands and officially applied for the qualification to join the Nine Heaven Gods, which means that…”

“It means that you’ve been expelled,” King of the Netherworld spoke on his behalf calmly.

Yin Mie laughed, “Don’t say that. I haven’t been interested in that position from the beginning. It doesn’t matter if I’m expelled or not. Anyway, it’s just a group of old men gathering together and having a discussion. To be honest, I think it’s really noisy and boring.”

Ming Qingyu really wanted to attempt a reply but he was sitting in the temple, so he could only bite his tongue.

Yin Mie, whose smile didn’t fade, looked back at him as if he had read his mind. But Ming Qingyu didn’t even bother to glance at him and directly turned to face the wall.

“You yourself are the representative of the noisy ones,” King of the Netherworld pointed out a fact coldly.

Still with a bluff exterior, Yin Mie was not embarrassed by what he said, “Okay, I know I’m full of faults. People like me can’t do those boring things, but how about Qing Tian of Dino Family? Are you going to let him run wild? I think this person is very calculating, and he is very patient.”

“Just a person of Dino Family,” King of the Netherworld obviously thumbed his nose at the family.

Yin Mie squinted his eyes, “Of course I know that Dino Family is meaningless to you, but now there is an unparalleled opportunity in front of you. If you don’t grab at it, then you’ll feel sorry for yourself. Although I know you have no ambition, it would be better to hold something in the palms of your hands than others’. Now, there is a chance to be recommended by Feng Yun, but they don’t have any candidates. As long as you send any subordinate there, a nobody like Qing Tian would be no match for him, which just needs you to pull some strings.”

King of the Netherworld took his eyes off him to look at the crystal table, “I got it.”

Yin Mie smiled. He knew that he had convinced King of the Netherworld. In fact, if he hadn’t hinted at something related to his little sweetheart, what he had just said might not have convinced him.

“By the way, where’s Uncle White?” Yin Mie sat here for a long time but didn’t see Uncle White. He couldn’t help but feel strange. He remembered that every time he came here, Uncle White would just appear within the time of burning out a stick of incense. Then Uncle White would invite him out very politely, no, actually very unfriendly.

Feng Xi answered, “Uncle White has been in a fight with Little Ice.”

“In a fight? Who is Little Ice?” Yin Mie was instantly intrigued by his words. ‘That old man would fight with someone else! That’s really rare!’

Feng Xi glanced at him indifferently, “Little Ice is just Little Ice, a great general of us Feng Family. He’s really something.”

Yin Mie suddenly grinned. ‘What is Feng Family? Why have I never heard of it before? And if my eyes did not deceive me just now, I seemed to see the contemptuous expression on the brat’s face. Would it be out of date to have no idea who Little Ice is?’

“You won’t understand even if I tell it to you,” Feng Xi obviously couldn’t rouse himself to explain to him. So he just said a sentence casually and ignored him.

Yin Mie originally wanted to say, ‘Of course I won’t understand if you don’t tell me,’ but after thinking about it, he felt that the answer he would get might not be very pleasant, so he simply shut up and didn’t ask anymore. Anyway, he would see that ‘Little Ice’ when they came back after the fight.

Ming Qingyu was satisfied to see him being embarrassed by Feng Xi.

“Since Uncle White is not here, then we will go and look for the guest room by ourselves. You don’t have to entertain us.” Yin Mie waved his hand and was about to find a place to stay. He just took two steps but found that Ming Qingyu had not followed him. He instantly stopped and turned to look at him, “Why don’t you go with me? Is your rear stuck to the chair?”

Ming Qingyu knew that he was never able to say something pleasant, so he had already been used to it. He looked at Feng Xi, who seemed to have received his brain waves and immediately gave him a knowing smile.

Feng Xi said, “I still have something to tell Ming Qingyu. You go first!”

How could Yin Mie not read the scene of Ming Qingyu giving Feng Xi the eye in front of him? His smile immediately broadened. “I suddenly remember that I’m in no hurry. You can take your time, I can wait.” If he had known this, he would not have brought Ming Qingyu with him. He never imagined that not only did they know each other, but their relationship was so close. It was a very unwise move!

Ming Qingyu said coldly, “Who cares.”

He knew that Yin Mie would not flinch from such a small blow, so he was not surprised at all when he heard what he said. However, Feng Xi cast amazed looks at Yin Mie, sizing him up as if he was thinking of something.

Yin Mie smiled. Anyway, he was dead set on using the trick of badgering. In any case, as long as he could achieve his goal of getting Feng Xi’s heart, he didn’t care what methods he used. No matter how cold and ruthless the beauty was, he had to transform the tenacity into tenderness. Anyway, he had heaps of time. If he couldn’t achieve it in a day, then he would spend a month. If he still failed, then he would do it over a year. If it didn’t work yet, then it would also be okay to take a century to make a conquest. Someday he would succeeded!

Feng Xi walked over to Ming Qingyu and handed him a piece of Fruit of the World. “This is for you. Last time you saved me, I haven’t thanked you yet!”

Ming Qingyu didn’t expect Feng Xi to thank him and was about to refuse when he heard Yin Mie’s voice, “Wow, this is the Fruit of the World picked from a real World Tree. It is said that eating it can improve the cultivation level without any adverse side effects. With your current strength, if you eat it and completely fuse with it, you should be able to be promoted to the level of five-star Exalt God.”

His words made Ming Qingyu hesitate instantly. Of course, he had also heard of the existence of Fruit of the World, but he had never seen it before. However, what really impressed him was Yin Mie’s last sentence. His level now was two-star Exalt God, so a three-star upgrade would definitely save him a lot of time. But he didn’t want to take other people’s things without any reason. Besides, it was such a valuable Fruit of the World, which he shouldn’t accept more. And the reason why he saved Feng Xi last time was just because he was actually guilty to Feng Xi. His help was unworthy of Feng Xi’s thanks.

Ming Qingyu was still confused when Feng Xi thought he may feel a piece of fruit was too puny, so he took another one from the ring and stuffed them into his hand.

Even Yin Mie was surprised by this situation.

Ming Qingyu looked at the two pieces of Fruit of the World in his hand and his expression was extremely complicated. He just hesitated for a moment, but it didn’t mean that he thought it was too puny.

Yin Mie seemed to have read his mind and secretly sent him a message with a mocking smile, “I don’t expect that he is so generous. From my point of view, you should hesitate longer or just ask him to give you a few more. Then you’ll make a big fortune in this way.”

Ming Qingyu rolled his eyes at him with scorn. ‘What a shameless guy you’re!’

After that, the two of them stayed in the temple, while Uncle White and Ice Qilin had been in a fight with each other in the Void Universe for three days and nights. Finally, because of the arrival of the 100th birthday of the Heaven World Princess, they had to stop fighting. Ice Qilin was Feng Xi’s Demon Beast, so he had to go with him. He said to Uncle White that he would fight with him again, yet which was ignored by Uncle White, and the Ice & Fire Divine Pellet was also taken by Uncle White.

A few days later, Feng Xi and King of the Netherworld set off for the Heaven World.
