The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

223. Uncle White Coming Around

Translator: 独步三月

Wait for some more time?

Feng Xi was dumbfounded. With this “some more time”, Uncle White might be coming around. What could he do then?

“How long will it take?” Feng Xi lay on the crystal table, looking listless. Had he known that he had to wait for some more time, he would not sneak in and look for Feng Ling. He didn’t expect Uncle White to be so cunning as to set up an access control in the attic. So it meant that something untoward was going on, which was why Uncle White was so scrupulous.

“Just wait until I have finished observing these crystals.” King of the Netherworld pointed to the rows of crystals, which were in various colors. Some were about important events. He would first scan through those important ones, and what were left now were all about trivial matters. It wouldn’t take too long. He just needed to have a glimpse of them briefly and someone specially assigned would take over.

Feng Xi glanced at the rows of crystals; it seemed there were no less than twenty or thirty of them.

“Boss, I might as well observe some for you? It would be faster,” Feng Xi made up his mind. Although he hadn’t dealt with any official business before, everything had its first time.

“Oh?” In that case, I will leave these blue crystals to Xiao Xi, “King of the Netherworld pushed several blue crystals to him.

These were all disputes reported by some local forces in Netherworld via the city governors. In the past, King of the Netherworld would directly authorize the city governors of the various cities to deal with them. However, owing to the eventful situation recently, King of the Netherworld was afraid that the Evil People would sabotage secretly, so he handled these trivial things personally during this period. Sometimes if there were too many issues, and the crystals would be put on hold for a few days.

But since Feng Xi offered to help, King of the Netherworld didn’t refuse.

“Boss, don’t worry. I will take care of them and won’t take sides,” Feng Xi patted his chest and promised.

It was the first time he dealt with official business. It gave him the feeling that he was a high-ranking official who was in charge of life and death of others and held a high authority. This feeling was very fresh, and Feng Xi was immediately glowing with ambition.

Then he picked up one of them and seriously checked the information inside.

Seeing that he was in high spirits, King of the Netherworld didn’t say anything more. He reached out to pick up five crystals and put them on the table. Since there were too many, King of the Netherworld usually multitasked, which was something that Feng Xi couldn’t keep pace with; he could only read them one by one.

Time flowed quietly for a while, and Feng Xi, who was focused on his work, suddenly clapped on the table and raised his head with an angry expression.

“The Caia Family were really going too far. They went to find trouble with the Sura Family and occupied the territory of the Sura Family. In the end, they even accused Sura Family of stealing their territory. How could they do these things? Ah… The city governor actually helped the Caia Family bully the Sura Family, which was unforgivable. It seems that the people in the Caia Family want to take avenge. I can’t let them have their way.”

The Caia Family and the city governor never expected that their meticulously arranged plan would have such a big loophole. The worst thing was that the crystal fell into the hands of Feng Xi who had been involved in the affair, instead of into those of King of the Netherworld.

In fact, there were many pieces of “evidences” listed in the crystal, all of which were favorable to the Caia Family. Although Feng Xi didn’t know the truth, he knew that the third brother of the Yaksha God was not that kind of person, so his intuition was that the city governor and the people of Caia Family were framing the Sura Family, which was why he shouted angrily.

King of the Netherworld raised his eyebrow slightly. As to the incident that Xiao Xi went to the Sura Family with the Yaksha god, he had watched the whole process too, so he understood the indignation from the young man in his arms.

The current Sura Family had no need to occupy territory. Not to mention their personalities, Sura Family had basically moved to the God and Demon Kingdom, and their future developing focus would be in there too. Since they might not have extra effort on Netherworld’s side, it was very likely that the territory occupying matter was fabricated.

“Since it’s in your charge, it is up to Xiao Xi how to deal with this matter.”

“Well, I will definitely deal with it fairly,” Feng Xi laughed gloomily and continued his work.

The four maid servants outside smiled at each other hearing their little master’s sinister laughing. Someone must be in bad luck.

At this moment, a white shadow suddenly emerged from the corridor on the left. The person who came was Uncle White, who had a strong aura, as if he was carrying a freezer with him, emitting the bone-marrow piercing cold air.

The maids who were in the relaxed mood instantly straightened and respectfully shouted at Uncle White, “Chief Butler White!”

Their voice was not loud, but it was enough to reach the ears of Feng Xi who was focusing on dealing with his business in Quiet Stage Palace.

The four maids were also afraid of Uncle White. The reason why the little master appeared in Uncle White’s attic was entirely because of their gossip. If Uncle White really looked into it, they would most likely be revealed by the little master. Therefore, for their safety, the four maids didn’t even need to think about it and greeted Uncle White in a loud voice.

Sure enough, hearing that Uncle White coming over, Feng Xi almost fell from King of the Netherworld’s arms. Fortunately, King of the Netherworld was quick to hold him.

Feng Xi didn’t dare to face Uncle White yet. He pulled off King of the Netherworld’s hand around him and swiftly got under the crystal table. Then he made a hush signal to King of the Netherworld who looked down at him, indicating to King of the Netherworld not to tell Uncle White that he was here.

King of the Netherworld couldn’t help but smile and shook his head as Uncle White walked in, “What’s the matter?”

“Your humble servant is here to report the results of the past two days to Your Majesty. All the scouts who have sneaked into the Netherworld, including some Black Souls, have been cleaned up. I shall leave to Your Majesty for decision on how to deal with them.” Uncle White still wore a zombie face, as if he didn’t sense Feng Xi who was hiding.

“Hand the Black Souls over to Wolf Fang. As for the scouts of the Evil People, if you have time, try whether you can get the information from them. Besides, let Wolf Fang investigate how the Black Souls avoided the call of the Ghost World. Make sure to find out the reason and don’t let other Black Souls walk free.”

Ever since Feng Xi said that the so-called ‘father’ told him about the Evil People, King of the Netherworld sent Uncle White to investigate. Sure enough, he found traces of the Evil People in Netherworld, but they were just scouts. The real strong people were not sent over. Now, it seems that these Evil People scouts were just trying to find out his whereabouts.

“Your humble servant understood,” Uncle White said.

King of the Netherworld nodded. As he heard that Uncle White was still addressing himself as “your humble servant”. He said, “Uncle White, since you have recovered your previous appearance, you don’t need to call yourself ‘humble servant’. Use your original name in the future. The name Uncle White can be removed.”

“Yes,” Uncle White did not object.

Feng Xi, who was hiding under the crystal table, heard their conversation and couldn’t help but prick up his ears. Right, he didn’t know Uncle White’s real name. In the past, everyone called him Uncle White, so he naturally followed the example. Now as they mentioned it, Feng Xi began to wonder what Uncle White’s real name was.

Just as he was to pull the hem of King of the Netherworld’s robe, Uncle White, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, which gave him a start, and his hand withdrew instantly.

“I am wondering if Your Majesty has seen the little master just now?”

Hearing this, Feng Xi became tense, with his heart beating non-stop. He was worried that the boss would reveal the fact that he was hiding here. He immediately lay between King of the Netherworld’s legs and gazed at him pitifully with his watery eyes, constantly conveying the message of “Don’t tell”.

Even if King of the Netherworld didn’t look sideways, he could see Feng Xi’s expression. He was almost amused by him, “Why are you looking for Xiao Xi?”

Uncle White lowered his eyes. “Ah, there’s nothing important.”

At King of the Netherworld’s way of changing the topic, Uncle White remained calm.

King of the Netherworld didn’t seem to notice Uncle White’s silent protest and nodded, “Since it’s nothing important, you should hurry up and do those business. After two hours, Xiao Xi and I will leave for God and Demon Kingdom. The business of Netherworld will be in your charge.”

“Yes, so your humble…, Bai Huang takes his leave!” Bai Huang, namely Uncle White, seeing that King of the Netherworld was determined to help Feng Xi, had to give up.

The longer King of the Netherworld and the little master were together, the stronger he became. Bai Huang only said that it was not something important, but he didn’t say that nothing happened. However, since King of the Netherworld could help Feng Xi with his lies, this change was impressive enough to Bai Huang.

“Lord Bai Huang, take care!”

The respectful voices of the four maids sounded outside the hall. Feng Xi finally relaxed and his racing heart finally recovered. His knees softened, but he was still lying between King of the Netherworld’s legs.

“Aren’t you coming out yet?” King of the Netherworld lowered his head and saw that the young man’s head was facing his…. His black eyes suddenly darkened.

“Let me calm down first.”

Feng Xi didn’t see King of the Netherworld’s expression. He just raised his soft hand and waved. When he heard that Uncle White initiate the topic of looking for him, his heart started to beat faster and almost went beyond control. He was so scared that he was worried that Uncle White would suddenly come back after going out, and he felt that Uncle White was even more terrifying than before.

After a while, Feng Xi finally raised his head until he had enough strength.

As a result, he accidentally caught sight of King of the Netherworld’s bulging part, almost directly…
