216. Chapter 216: A Yellowish Book

Translator: Kickassjo

When Feng Xi was pulled into the crack, the first thing that came into his mind was that something bad was happening.

Nevertheless, when he fell into a pool of fragrant flower petals, he was stunned. What was going on?

At a glance, flowers were swaying everywhere in the wind. Some petals even flew to his face lively. How could he be in Flower Sea? Was he dreaming?

“How long do you wish to keep lying down, Xiao Xi?” King of the Netherworld walked up to him and looked at him expressionlessly.

When Feng Xi heard the voice, his body immediately stiffened. He carefully raised his head and saw the indifferent expression of his boss. He couldn’t tell what his boss was thinking at all and he couldn’t help but feel extremely diffident. However, he finally believed what the person who described himself as “Papa” said.

Feng Xi quickly got up and patted the dust off his body and smiled embarrassedly, “Boss, what brings you here?”

King of the Netherworld narrowed his eyes, pinched Feng Xi’s nose and said softly, “If I hadn’t come, you would have fallen into the hands of the Heaven World already.”

Feng Xi ran to the right side of King of the Netherworld, then hugged his arm and raised the cheeks which were slightly blushed. In fact, he also knew that if it weren’t for the person who called himself ‘Papa’, he might have been discovered by the people in Heaven World, which would only cause trouble for the Boss. Therefore, it was really close this time, thinking of which he felt embarrassed.

“Sorry, I thought it was enough to just bring Ice Qilin. Who would have known that he would run off in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, there was a person who called himself ‘Papa’. Speaking of which, he said that the reason I came across you in the past was his making. Do you know who he is, Boss?”

The person who heard this from the pool dropped tears quietly.

‘Baby, I am not called “Papa”, I am your Papa.’

King of the Netherworld touched Feng Xi’s head. Although his tone was a little harsh just now, he still couldn’t bear to scold Feng Xi. In fact, he had known how things would develop beforehand and he also knew that his little Valentine would be fine, otherwise he wouldn’t show up at the last moment.

“There’s no next time. Understand?”

Feng Xi scratched his head and looked troubled, “Well…”

King of the Netherworld squinted, “Is it that hard?”

Feng Xi was afraid that King of the Netherworld would misunderstand, so he quickly explained, “No, I once said that I should protect you, my Boss, so I have to work even harder to become stronger now. I can’t be surpassed by Di Tianxiang and his people. Although I didn’t have the chance to use Supreme Sun Insignia, its purpose has been achieved anyway. Boss, take a look at this…”

Feng Xi took out the bottle which contained the fire root from his ring and handed it to King of the Netherworld, as if he was looking for rewards.

King of the Netherworld could tell at a glance that it was Little Sun’s fire root. He was a little surprised, “Did that person give it to you?”

“Yeah!” Feng Xi nodded, “He said I wouldn’t be able to take it out, so he helped me remove the spiritual intelligence of the fire root and then gave it to me. I didn’t know at first but he was a good person after all!”

‘The good person’ was crying again. ‘Do I really look like a bad person?’

It’s saddening!

King of the Netherworld shook the fire  bottle twice. The fire root inside was lying quietly. It seemed that the spiritual intelligence of the fire root was indeed eliminated. “Didn’t he tell Xiao Xi his identity?”

“Yes, he said that he was my papa, but I don’t understand. He even called me baby. I’m almost twenty years old, and he still called me baby. It sounded a little childish,” Feng Xi was confused.

‘Papa’ cried for the third time. He forgot that his baby didn’t have memory from before. He was a completely ancient person.

However, in his eyes, no matter how old the baby was and how childish it sounded, he would never stop calling his son “baby” till death.

“You’ll get it later,” King of the Netherworld said significantly.

Since that person had already appeared, King of the Netherworld believed the other person would have known it as well. Was he turning a blind eye to it?!

Feng Xi decided not to think about that person. According to that “papa”, they would certainly meet again in the future anyway, so he didn’t have to worry about these things. However, the current situation seemed a little strange to him though, “Boss, there is one more thing to tell you. I met people from the Evil Family at Little Sun. They said that I was a threat to them, so they wished to kill me. Although I was not afraid of him, I found it strange somehow.”

King of the Netherworld was not surprised, as if he already knew about it. He put the bottle back into Feng Xi’s ring while he pulled his hand and walked towards the giant flower in the centre of the Flower Sea.

“The Evil Family are emitting strong negative energy. The positive spirit energy of the Way of Heaven is their nemesis. The Boundless Merits in Xiao Xi’s body has the energy of the Way of Heaven and that’s why the Evil Family sees you as a threat.”

When King of the Netherworld saw Feng Xi’s expression of dawning comprehension, he smiled and continued to say, “There are words from the Ghost World that the mastermind behind the incident is the Evil Family. Their real target is the Reincarnation Bell of the Underworld. Dongfang Ao was merely being used. We can go back when this is over.”

“What is the use of the Reincarnation Bell?”

Now that he might be targeted at by the Evil Family in the future, Feng Xi decided that he would not leave the Boss ever again.

Of course, the most important thing was to protect his Boss and not give other people any chance to attack him, which was his primary purpose.

“The Reincarnation Bell is the most precious treasure of Underworld. It can allow the creatures of the Three Worlds escape the reincarnation of life and death. I suppose the Evil Family wishes to escape the reincarnation. In the past, I have suspected their purpose. The Evil Family has targeted the Ghost World from time to time, and their purpose was to divert our attention.”

Although it was discovered late, they had taken precautions against it in time. Fortunately, the Reincarnation Bell was not lost. Otherwise, the Underworld would be in chaos and King of the Netherworld would not allow things like that to happen.

“Right, that ‘papa’ said that the headquarters of the Evil Family is in the south… I didn’t hear where exactly in the south. Could it be the Forest of the South Region? I heard that the Forest of the South Region is very dangerous and mysterious. Little Qilin’s people are there too. It’s very likely where he referred to. Oh right, I almost forgot that Little Qilin hasn’t come out yet!”

Feng Xi patted his head and realized he had forgotten all about Ice Qilin.

King of the Netherworld held his hand and as the scene in front of him flashed, the two returned to the room in the Heaven World, “Don’t worry about him.”

“Now that he dared to take you to Little Sun and failed to protect you, you don’t need to blame yourself for forgetting him.”

Feng Xi did not contradict his Boss. He felt that Ice Qilin would be fine. He always said how powerful he was and now was the time he should show his great strength.

As a result, the poor Ice Qilin was left behind by the two of them.

“Then what should we do next? Should we attend the banquet?” Seeing that the crisis had been resolved, Feng Xi immediately broke into a snigger. As long as the Boss didn’t accuse him of the incidents happened in the Little Sun, he would be relieved and so he continued to distract the Boss right away.

King of the Netherworld cast him a sidelong glance, raised his chin, and then approached him, “Now let’s settle the old and new debts together. Let’s see how many are there, hmm?” In fact, he didn’t care about the topics they just talked about at all; all he cared about was this.

Feng Xi couldn’t laugh at once, and he was immediately soaked in a cold sweat.

He turned around, trying to climb out of King of the Netherworld’s arms, but before he could stand up, he was dragged back. King of the Netherworld’s handsome face was right in front of him, and King of the Netherworld’s black eyes stared at him as if he was going to suck away his soul.

The smile on Feng Xi’s face became dumb. He put his hands against King of the Netherworld’s chest and snickered nervously, “Well… I’ll take the responsibility of the new one, but what old debt are you talking about? Didn’t we move on from that already? There’s no old debt.”

The last sentence sounded Feng Xi was lack of confidence. Under King of the Netherworld’s gaze, Feng Xi felt that he had no more strength to speak. He suddenly felt that a crisis was approaching and a bad feeling arose.

“As the saying goes, ‘A fall in the pit, a gain in your wit’. So how many times do you think you have fallen in the pit, Xiao Xi?”

King of the Netherworld did not answer him directly. He stretched out his hand and flicked on Feng Xi’s head whic seemed to have learned nothing from the past lessons. Perhaps this head needed a profound lesson to refresh its memory. Although the young man was always starting from a good point, the process was far from satisfaction. King of the Netherworld felt that it was necessary to make him learn this time.

‘What did he mean?’

Feng Xi turned his head and tried to cry yet no tears came out. He realized that he was unable to keep count. There were simply too many times.

“Can’t keep count? It doesn’t matter, as long as you has the awareness, Xiao Xi. Now let’s talk about how to punish you.”

King of the Netherworld raised his eyebrows and smirked because he had known Feng Xi wouldn’t be able to count the numbers. Even though Feng Xi might think he had done something right, but for Feng Xi, anything that might endanger his life should be considered wrong. King of the Netherworld knew that Feng Xi did not have that kind of awareness, and the habits he had in his past life couldn’t be changed so easily. Feng Xi had never been cared before and suddenly, in this life time, someone actually cared about him at all times, which he would need to get used to.

King of the Netherworld was not in a hurry. He had plenty of time. He believed that one day, Feng Xi would belong to him entirely.

“I don’t want to be kept alone,” Feng Xi said as he lowered his shoulder and his face was wet with tears.

“Haha, don’t worry, it won’t be a solitary confinement this time. I just thought of a better way. I suppose you have had this book for a long time. Why don’t we try it today?” King of the Netherworld conjured a yellowish book in his hand and waved it in front of Feng Xi while smiling gently.

As soon as he read the words on the book, Feng Xi’s expression changed and he threw himself over without saying a word.

King of the Netherworld waved his hand and Feng Xi missed it. He was so anxious that even his ears turned red, “When did you get it, Boss?”

King of the Netherworld was admiring the young man’s red cheeks, as if he didn’t notice his impatience, and then he said slowly, “Just now.”

Feng Xi immediately remembered that Boss must have taken it when he put the bottle with the fire root back to his ring just now. He didn’t realize that Boss had hidden the book for a long time. In the past, he really wanted to try out the way the book drew, but the more he read it, the more he felt his scalp tingling. He felt that what the book described was inappropriate, so he didn’t dare to take it out and decided to hide it in the corner of the ring. He never thought that the book would ever see the day of light.

He should have destroyed it if he knew this would happen. What a misstep!
