The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

203. Chapter 203: One Cannot Avoid His Enemy

Translator: 独步三月

Cloud Sea Square was located on the third floor of the the Heaven World, a place where many youngsters of the the Heaven World would frequently go.

Cloud Sea Square had the most magnificent natural scene of the Heaven World. Every ten days, the clouds could be seen running in the evening sky like flocks of galloping horses, while the clouds in the day overspread the entire square, turning the square into a world of clouds. That was why many men and women in the Heaven World liked to go to the Cloud Sea Square, either for cultivation or for the scenery.

The gravity of the third floor of the the Heaven World was not very strong. As long as one’s cultivation level reached the God level, he could go up to the third floor. So in order to see the Cloud Sea Square, the men and women of the Heaven World tried their best to reach the God level.

This was also the most important reason why the ancestors of the Heaven World risked their lives to acquire this huge gravity stone. The Heaven World had ten floors, but each had restrictions on the cultivation level, so the higher you wanted to go, the harder you must work to cultivate, otherwise you could only wander on the lower levels, and then others would know that you were a loser.

No one wanted to be labeled as loser, so the youngsters of the Heaven World worked hard to cultivate in order to climb to the higher floors.

This was a very advantageous competition policy. Competition prevented people from slacking off. This was the most important reason why the Heaven World could compete with the Demon World.

The people of the Demon World were all war maniacs, who were instinctively fanatical about fighting. Once they fought, they fought desperately. If the descendants of the Heaven World slacked off their cultivation because of their sense of superiority, they would have long been trampled down by the Demon World.

However, there was another way to easily enter and exit the ten floors of the Heaven World.

When the ancestors of the Heaven World got this gravity stone, they found a kind of red liquid inside. After this liquid solidified, it could help resist the gravity of the gravity stone. As long as one got the crystal from the liquid, it would not be difficult to enter and exit the ten floors of the the Heaven World. However, the crystals coagulated from this red liquid was not many. To get it, a certain contribution needed to be made in the Heavenly World. Owing to the reason, few people coveted to get it.

Anyway, with this kind of crystal, one could easily enter the tenth floor of the the Heaven World, because the tenth floor was the most important forbidden region of the Heaven World, namely, the entrance and the exit of the sun.

However, the tenth floor of the Heaven World had harsh requirements to one’s cultivation level. To enter the tenth floor, one’s cultivation level must reach the Lesser Heaven God, otherwise he would be crushed into meat sauce by the gravity. At this time, those who did not reach the Lesser Heaven God level would need the assistance of the red crystal stone.

Feng Xi didn’t expect that he would be able to secure such important information just by chatting with others. While he was still troubled about how to inquire about the entrance and exit of the sun, it turned out that it was something that everyone knew, including Lorraine.

“What’s the matter? Don’t tell me you want to enter the tenth floor, do you?” Lorraine teased when he saw Feng Xi’s thoughtful expression.

“I’m quite curious,” Feng Xi didn’t hide it. Indeed he held very big interest to the tenth floor, unusually big interest.

“I advise you to dispel this idea. First, as for the cultivation level of Lesser Heaven God, you’re still far from achieving it. Besides, the red crystal stone is the treasure of the Heaven World. Don’t you even think about it. Let alone the harsh conditions that you can’t achieve. Even if you can, the Heaven World won’t allow you in. The tenth floor is the entrance to the Little Sun, and it is the forbidden region of the Heaven World. You as an outsider, no matter how close your relationship was with King of the Netherworld, they won’t open the gate for you.”

Feng Xi couldn’t deny it, which he knew clearly.

In fact, he remembered that there seemed to be a red stone in the two Space Rings that he harvested from Di Tianhua at the Great Plain. However, he didn’t know what use the stone was at that time, so he threw it in the corner and didn’t study it. Thanks to his good memory, it came handy.

Di Tianhua was after all a princess of the Heaven World. No matter how precious the red stone was, the supreme of the Heaven World would not be too stingy to give her one. Of course, Feng Xi took the final advantage.

In this way, everything was ready, except a proper chance!

“Let’s not talk about this. Let’s go take a look at the magnificent scenery of Cloud Sea Square.” Feng Xi gathered his bad thoughts and drew the attention of the three people to Cloud Sea Square. Since they had been to the Heaven World, they surely should enjoy the view.

Seeing his high spirits, Lorraine thought that he was really curious about the Cloud Sea Square and didn’t talk about this topic again.

The four came to the Cloud Sea Square through the Transmission Ritual. As the day after tomorrow would be the birthday of Princess of the Heaven World, everyone was busy these days. Hence, there were fewer people coming to Cloud Sea Square than usual, but groups of people gathering together were still seen here and there. Most of them were talking about the bouquet the day after tomorrow, and the envy in their tone was obvious.

“It seems that it is impossible to see running clouds at this time,” Huan Ye said regretfully.

“I heard that the clouds appeared because of the Little Sun. Every ten days in the evening, the Little Sun in the Heaven World would burst out a red tide, which filled the sky. Having the vast space and facing the Little Sun, plus the surrounding clouds, the square presented such a beautiful natural scene. However, we don’t seem to come in the right time,” Zong Wuqing said with a smile and a little regret.

“Why does the Little Sun of the Heaven World burst out a red tide?” Feng Xi asked.

Zong Wuqing didn’t expect that he was more concerned about this issue. He couldn’t help but laugh, “I don’t know it. It’s probably a natural phenomenon!”

“This Cloud Sea Square is really big, but it indeed deserves its fame. It’s surrounded by clouds and it’s really difficult to see people clearly,” Lorraine put his right hand above his eyes and looked forward. With his eyesight, he could only see things within a hundred meters.

“Shall we play hide-and-seek?” Feng Xi suddenly suggested.

“…” Zong Wuqing.

“…” Lorraine.

“…” Huan Ye.

At last the three coughed at the same time. This proposal was too childish. It was a game played by children. Well, although Feng Xi was still childish in nature, it would be awkward to make the three adults play this game with him. It would be embarrassing if it was seen by others.

Feng Xi raised his eyebrows, “What? Don’t you dare?”

“Who said I don’t dare!” Lorraine immediately replied reflexively, but after replying, he soon regretted that his mouth was too fast because he saw Feng Xi’s eyes light up, clearly conveying his interest in the game.

“Since all of you agreed, then let me talk about the rules. First, let’s play the finger-guessing game, whoever loses will play as a ghost, who will then chase after others. The time limit is two hours and the range of the game is refined to the Cloud Sea Square. If one runs outside, he loses, and will be punished. The punishment can be determined by the winner, who can ask the loser to do one thing? Clear?”

Feng Xi spoke quickly and methodically. It didn’t appear to be a sudden whim at all. Judging from his glowing eyes, he was obviously looking forward to the game.

Lorraine was rolled eyes by Huan Ye and Zong Wuqing. Although he wished to say that he was not clear, because he didn’t want to play at all, he had just indirectly agreed. If he went back on his words, he would only be mocked. Thus, he squeezed out the word, “Clear.”

Lorraine lost the finger-guessing game. Though he had heard Feng Xi explain it before the game, the experienced people were always better than beginners. Although Huan Ye and Zong Wuqing had never played the game, the were definitely more familiar with games than Lorraine, who had never heard of games before. Hence they won easily.

When Lorraine closed his eyes, Feng Xi, Huan Ye and Zong Wuqing started moving.

Since they had promised King of the Netherworld that they would took good care of Feng Xi, Huan Ye and Zong Wuqing didn’t dare to leave Feng Xi too far, thus they followed behind him. However, they didn’t expect that in less than several minutes, he would disappear in front of them. There were white clouds everywhere. The two smiled bitterly and could only split up to look for him.

Lorraine assumed that it might happen, so the person he was looking for was mainly Feng Xi. However, the Cloud Sea Square was too big and there were clouds everywhere. Plus, the other party had the intention to hide. If he really wanted to find Feng Xi, he probably wouldn’t be able to make it in five or six hours. Fortunately, Feng Xi promised King of the Netherworld that he would return within four hours, so as long as it was time, he should come out on his own.

However, they forgot a saying: extreme joy could beget sorrow.

Was Feng Xi so obedient? Back then, he also promised King of the Netherworld that he would go back soon, but there was not one time that he was not caught back by King of the Netherworld personally because of exceeding time, so the three of them were relieved too early!

Feng Xi really wanted to play hide-and-seek, so he immediately ran away from Lorraine at first. As he ran, he realized that he was lost and the direction he had confirmed was blocked by a large cloud. As he ran out of the range of the fog, Feng Xi was at once embarrassed because he realized that he had run out of Cloud Sea Square unconsciously.

Because he ran too fast, he didn’t see a group of people walking towards him. As a result, he bumped into the person walking in front. The person staggered back a few steps from the collision and there sounded an arrogant voice.

“Which blind bastard is it? How dare you bump into the noble Princess?”
