The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

Chapter 202: The Test of the Heaven World

Translator: 飞弹

Being able to see acquaintances here, Feng Xi was very glad and happily chatted with them. But before he could even speak a few words, he was interrupted by a voice.

He raised his head and saw a middle-aged man who looked posh walking towards them with a group of people. But he just looked at Feng Xi’s boss in surprise.

With a very loud ‘your Majesty’, almost everyone on the platform heard the man called King of the Netherworld. Those who had sat with King of the Netherworld on the same Phoenix felt their ears buzzing. When they clearly saw the surprise on Di Yunxiao’s face, they wanted to cry but had no tears. They had missed such a great opportunity for no reason, and they would have thought that the attitude of King of the Netherworld would be quite imperious before this.

As the master of the Netherworld and the Number One in the Three Worlds, he was absolutely qualified to be condescending, not to mention that he was doubtful to be that!

This thought made them want to commit suicide at one point. They were indeed as blind as a bat.

The Heaven World originally didn’t know when King of the Netherworld would come, but the two people guarding the dimensional door immediately informed Di Yuntian after knowing King of the Netherworld’s identity. Because Di Yuntian was engaged, he sent Di Yunxiao over to greet King of the Netherworld. He wasn’t as ignorant as others, as he had seen King of the Netherworld before,  and therefore he could recognize King of the Netherworld’s face. However, when he saw Feng Xi next to King of the Netherworld, he frowned imperceptibly.

“Your Majesty, my brother has sent me to get you there,” Di Yunxiao walked to King of the Netherworld and the subordinates behind him all stuck their heads and looked at him. They had only heard the rumors of King of the Netherworld and none of them knew him, so they were curious about his appearance.

It was not sure whether it was intentional or not, Di Yunxiao only said that he would take King of the Netherworld there but neglected Feng Xi. If the two guards had really sent them the message, it was impossible for Di Yunxiao not to know that King of the Netherworld came here with Feng Xi. Even Lorraine and the others who had not seen King of the Netherworld and Feng Xi with their own eyes could know this perfectly well, and they couldn’t help but frown slightly.

King of the Netherworld’s eyebrows twitched and he stared at Di Yunxiao as if there was some emotion was generating in his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, the young man next to him suddenly tugged at his sleeve. King of the Netherworld lowered his head and saw that Feng Xi’s eyes were sparkling, which seemed he had something to say. So he lowered his head slightly again and said, “Little Xi, what do you want to say?”

Feng Xi pushed his face towards his ear and whispered, “Boss, you can follow him first. I want to take a stroll in other places with Lorraine and the others. And I’ll see you later.”

Seeing that he really wanted to wander around and take a look, King of the Netherworld agreed, “Don’t go too far. Come back in four hours, OK?”

Feng Xi immediately nodded, “I got it.”

Seeing that King of the Netherworld was really worried about Feng Xi, Lorraine promised, “Your Majesty, don’t worry. We will take good care of him and won’t let him get into scrapes.”

On the other side, Zong Wuqing and Huan Ye looked at each other in dismay because of Lorraine’s confidence. Even they didn’t dare to prevent Feng Xi from causing trouble. According to that little guy’s character, it might be difficult if he wasn’t up to mischief. Even if Lorraine wanted to show off in front of King of the Netherworld, he didn’t need to be like this!

King of the Netherworld nodded, then followed Di Yunxiao to Lingtan Hall. Many people also went after them to get a glimpse of King of the Netherworld. In any case, their destination was Lingtan Hall too, the place where Princess of the Heaven World held her birthday banquet. The crowded platform became silent and empty in an instant, leaving only Feng Xi, Lorraine and the other two people.

“Feng Xi, where do you want to go? Although we are guests, there are many places in the Heaven World that we cannot enter.

Lorraine called his name naturally. In his heart, he already regarded Feng Xi as his friend. He would treat him as his same-generation companion even if Feng Xi was very closed with King of the Netherworld. However, as soon as King of the Netherworld left, he found a problem. That is, his responsibility to protect Feng Xi from troubles was unexpectedly… too much!

When Zong Wuqing and Huan Ye saw his slightly distorted expression, they both looked at him, showing that he just had it coming to himself.

“Is there any famous attraction in the Heaven World?” Feng Xi had never been to the Heaven World, so he didn’t know where to go either. However, his goal this time was the sun in the Heaven World. It was not easy to find out the entrance of the sun. And it was also not good for him to ask others glaringly. Otherwise, if the people of the Heaven World noticed it, they would definitely suspect him.

Lorraine had never cared about such things, so he was stumped by Feng Xi’s question.

Huan Ye smiled and helped him get out of trouble, “I remember that the most famous attraction in the Heaven World seems to be the Cloud Sea Square. The Heavenly Palace has ten floors and the Cloud Sea Square is on the third floor. We are standing on the first floor of the Heavenly Palace. If we want to go to the third floor, we must go through the Transmission Ritual.”

“What if we don’t use the Transmission Ritual? Can’t we fly up?” Feng Xi asked curiously.

Huan Ye shook his head. “You can fly up, but it requires you to take a big risk. If you don’t have the strength, you might not be able to fly up the second floor, let alone the third floor. I heard from my grandpa that the structure of the Heavenly Palace is different from that in the God and Demon Kingdom. It is said that the Heavenly Palace is made of an extremely huge gravity rock. The pressure becomes greater from the first floor to the tenth floor, especially outside the Heavenly Palace. If you are too weak, you perhaps will be crushed by the pressure.”

Feng Xi’s mouth fell open when he heard it. ‘It’s unexpected that they can use the gravity rock to build the palace! Where should they find such a huge one?’

“Therefore, it’s also a test for outsiders that Princess Tian Hua’s birthday banquet is set on the eighth floor by the Heaven World.” There was a ghost of a smile on Zong Wuqing’s handsome face with an elegant wind, making people feel comfortable, even if there was yet a trace of unobtrusive disdain in his smile.

“We have to be tested when we come to the banquet, right?” Feng Xi felt that this rule was too ridiculous. If he had known it, he would rather not have come here.

“In fact, Princess Tian Hua’s birthday banquet used to be set on the fourth floor, but the meaning of the birthday this time is different. The Heaven World has invited many young talents in the name of Princess Tian Hua’s birthday. In fact, it is under the banner of husband selection. Lord Tianzun of the Heaven World wants to choose a husband who is prominent in every field for Princess Tian Hua, so this year’s birthday banquet will be several times more lavish than before, and there are much more people invited to the eighth floor. So just think; how could one who is even unable to go to the eighth floor be qualified to marry Princess Tian Hua?”

Huan Ye answered him in a sarcastic tone, “This is called eight rounds of selection to eliminate the bad ones in advance. I hear that those who are at least five-star on the level of Exalt God can reach the eighth floor.”

“Does the people of the Heaven World treat you as greens and radishes?” Feng Xi thought it was very interesting. In his eyes, Lorraine and the other two instantly became radishes for the princess to choose.

“I supposes there isn’t any way we can avoid that. Now that all of us have been invited, if we don’t accept it, it will mean that we don’t respect the Heaven World.” Lorraine said helplessly. In fact, what he hated the most was to attend such a noisy banquet. He originally didn’t want to come here, but his grandfather didn’t allow him to do so. He said that even if he didn’t like Princess of the Heaven World, he could just go through the motions. Otherwise, others would laugh at their family because they would think he didn’t come for fear of being unable to go to the eighth floor.

“Although that woman is really pretty, she’s bad-tempered and arrogant. She’s really not fit to be a good wife.” Feng Xi remembered Di Tianhua whom he met in the Great Plain. ‘If anyone really marries that woman, it would definitely be his bad luck. Well, bad luck…’

Feng Xi thought of the words ‘bad luck’ and suddenly recalled God of Bad Luck. ‘If God of Bad Luck was here…’

Then Feng Xi remembered the Space Talisman he had used before. Although God of Bad Luck and God of Books were not here, he could use the Space Talisman to make them come to the Heaven World unobtrusively . At first, he thought that the Space Talisman was very practical, so Feng Xi asked King of the Netherworld to make a few more for him. Then he gave each of the god some of the talismans just in case, and it could come in handy now.

“Have you met Princess of the Heaven World?” Lorraine and the other two asked in surprise, interrupting Feng Xi’s train of thought.

When Feng Xi came back to his senses, he found out that what he said just now had aroused their curiosity, but he had no intention of hiding it. “Yes, I have. I still remember that it was the first day I reached the central region. That woman was just arrogant and overbearing. She simply looked down her nose at everyone.”

Feng Xi told them what happened to him in the Great Plain, which was mainly the friction between him and Di Tianhua.

When they heard his story, the three of them all looked at each other in dismay. They had seen Di Tianhua before, but what Feng Xi said was a little different from their memories. They remembered that she was a beautiful woman with a fiery red and gorgeous brocade robe drawing her sexy figure in outline. And she wasn’t as arrogant or domineering as what Feng Xi described. They heard that she was… a considerate and unrivaled beauty!

If what Feng Xi said was true, then they should have been deceived.

Thinking about it carefully, they felt that Feng Xi was right. Di Tianhua was a noble princess whom was held by the whole Heaven World in their hands to pamper. Based on arrogance and superiority of people in the Heaven World, Di Tianhua was definitely spoiled. As for her thoughtfulness, who had seen that?

Therefore, the news that they received should be deliberately announced by the Heaven World for Di Tianhua’s reputation. They didn’t want to let them see Di Tianhua in her true colors at all because it was impossible for a spoiled woman to be a good wife, especially a princess who felt superior like Di Tianhua. Whoever married her would be equivalent to living in an abyss of misery.

The three people broke out in a cold sweat. They really didn’t dare imagine such a life.

“Alright, don’t care about it. Anyway, you guys don’t want to marry that woman, right? Let’s go to the Cloud Sea Square first to take a look!” Seeing that they seemed to be scared, Feng Xi started sniggering immediately.

“That’s right, we don’t think they will choose us anyway.” The three people recalled Di Tianhua’s vow that she wouldn’t marry anyone except for King of the Netherworld, then they looked at Feng Xi with a little more interest. That was the really interesting part of the banquet while they were just passers-by.

However, Feng Xi obviously did not know about it or he wouldn’t be so calm.
