The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

225. This Was The Truth

Translator: 飞弹

Feng Xi got up early the next morning.

This time, in order to ensure that he would not be fooled by King of the Netherworld as he did yesterday, Feng Xi started to supervise King of the Netherworld’s every move early in the morning. Wherever King of the Netherworld went, he would follow him like an intrusive mosquito.

Thus, the servants of the temple saw a beautiful scenery—King of the Netherworld was leading his small tail around.

About about two hours later, the small tail started protesting.

“Boss, how long will you finish your business? Why don’t you leave for God and Demon Kingdom?”

King of the Netherworld, who was walking on the spacious walkway, suddenly stopped. Feng Xi didn’t expect him to stop, and he was caught off-guard and just bumped into him. Feng Xi used his hands to his nose immediately as he squatted down while yelling in pain.

“Just wait a little while more,” King of the Netherworld gave an understanding smile. He just thought that feeling was not bad.

Feng Xi immediately stood up and pouted at King of the Netherworld, “How could you do this? An hour ago, you said that I needed to wait for a while, and now it’s been an hour! It’s not ‘a while’, but ‘many whiles’! ”

King of the Netherworld stretched out his hand to caress Feng Xi’s head and smiled, “Xiao Xi, are you so afraid of Uncle White?”

Feng Xi turned his head and said with studied casualness, “Of course not!”

“Hey, isn’t it Uncle White?” King of the Netherworld suddenly pointed in the direction behind Feng Xi.

The hairs on Feng Xi’s body instantly stood on end and he quickly hid behind King of the Netherworld. He looked around and shouted in panic, “Where is Uncle White? Where is he?”

In the end, Uncle White didn’t appear at all, and there were only the servants cleaning the walkway.

There was a subtle chuckle beyond Feng Xi’s head. Then he instantly understood that he had been fooled. Raising his head, he saw the smile on his boss’s lips before he swallow it, and Feng Xi immediately puffed out his cheeks angrily, “Boss, it’s wrong to cheat others!”

“Xiao Xi, your reaction is good.”

King of the Netherworld patted him on the head with a smile. ‘Xiao Xi actually has a conditioned reflex. It seems that Uncle White, who has regained his original appearance, gives him a deeper feeling of fear.’

“That’s not the reason. Well, I don’t want to argue with you. When can you set out with me?” Knowing that the boss was about to change the subject again, Feng Xi immediately stopped him straying from it on alert. This time, he would never let the boss fool him again.

“Besides this, you seem to have forgotten something important, Xiao Xi. Can you remember it?”

King of the Netherworld smiled and continued to change the subject, but this time it was definitely not intentional. In fact, the auction would only start tomorrow. They still had time even if they got there tomorrow morning, so it was really unnecessary to be in a hurry. Although Xiao Xi was acting like this because of Uncle White, King of the Netherworld didn’t want to tell him that Uncle White wouldn’t give him problems after he knew King of the Netherworld was partial to Feng Xi yesterday, and there was no need to worry about it at all.

However, King of the Netherworld enjoyed the feeling very much. Therefore, he didn’t intend to tell it to Feng Xi. It was good to keep the current situation.

“What is it?” Feng Xi was stunned. Uncle White’s scary figure had filled his mind to the exclusion of all else since yesterday. So for a moment, he couldn’t remember what it was that the boss mentioned.

King of the Netherworld knew that Feng Xi had forgotten it and couldn’t help but flick his forehead, “You took a lot of trouble to steal the Little Sun’s fire root from the Heaven World just in order to collect it?”

“Ah… I forgot it…” Feng Xi screamed. If it hadn’t been for the boss’s reminder, he probably wouldn’t have remembered it.

“I knew you would forget it,” King of the Netherworld was amused to look at his exaggerated expression.

“Oh, there’s one more thing that I forgot too. Boss, as for the crown prince of the Demon World, Mo Feihan, as well as Di Tianxiang of the Heaven World, which cultivation level are they at, and how different are they from each other?” After King of the Netherworld reminded him, Feng Xi remembered that he had so many things to do. Besides, he seemed to have forgotten something else important, but… what was it?

King of the Netherworld was very glad that Feng Xi finally remembered these things. If Feng Xi really wanted to deal with them, King of the Netherworld was afraid that even a day would not be enough for Feng Xi to finish them.

“Di Tianxiang is at the level of two-star Lesser Heaven God. He is already a good genius in the Three Worlds that he can reach this level when he is 100 years old. Previously, he deliberately hid his strength in front of everyone. Presumably he didn’t want others to know his real strength. As regards Mo Feihan, the devil-may-care crown prince, he might be the same contemporary powerhouse as Di Tianxiang, but his strength is weaker than Di Tianxiang. He is at the peak of nine-star Exalt God.”

In order to hide Di Tianxiang’s strength, Di Yuntian used a lot of tricks on him. Others might not notice it, but King of the Netherworld could see it clearly.

“Amazing, both of them are awesome, but it seems that Mo Feihan can’t beat Di Tianxiang. No, no, I have to think about ways round it.” Feng Xi sighed and started to worry about it. He had said before that he would help Mo Feihan improve his strength. But how to do it was a problem.

“Think about it later. Let’s deal with the fire root first,” King of the Netherworld was not as anxious as Feng Xi was. There was no need to worry so about improving Mo Feihan’s strength currently. At least there wouldn’t be a confrontation between the Demon World and the Heaven World at the moment. Of course, the conflict later should be considered in the future.

“That’s right, how can I absorb the fire root?” Feng Xi nodded in agreement. ‘Alright, there is indeed no need to worry about it.’

“You need to refine it before absorbing it, but the energy contained in the fire root is too much for you. With your current strength, you can’t absorb so much energy at one time. Otherwise, your body will explode and you’ll die,” King of the Netherworld said after thinking for a moment.

“What should I do then?” Feng Xi took out a bottle from the ring and handed it to King of the Netherworld.

“The only way is to divide the fire root into a few portions, then slowly refine and absorb them one by one. However, with your current ability, it will take a long time to refine the whole fire root for at least twenty years, which means you can’t use it to improve your strength in a short period of time,” King of the Netherworld smiled. When he finished, he just saw the young boy standing transfixed with shock and the smile on his face broadened to a grin.

Feng Xi’s jaw went slack and his eyes widened, which formed a shocked expression on his face. There was a long pause before he came back to his senses, “Then… then what’s the good of getting the fire root? I would rather go to Flower Sea to cultivate than sit and refine the fire root all day long.”

“Then you shouldn’t act arbitrarily before telling me first when you have an idea. This time, you can consider it as a cautionary tale. If you want to steal something rare next time, remember to have prior knowledge of it first,” King of the Netherworld comforted him.

“No, no… I don’t want that…” Feng Xi immediately sat on the ground and made a fuss.

He did a hard job to steal the fire root from the Heaven World. Although it was due in large part to the help of that person named “Papa” that his plan could be safely accomplished finally, he had been thinking about the fire root for so long, which was actually useless to him now after he stole it. Twenty years… he could do a lot of things during twenty years.

King of the Netherworld looked at the young boy, who was holding his leg and making a fuss, and smiled, “Well, there is still a way, which is a little troublesome yet.”

“What kind of trouble?” Feng Xi immediately calmed down and stared at King of the Netherworld with flickering eyes.

“You need to go to the Heaven World again to get something. As long as you have that thing, the refining process can be speeded up to twice.” King of the Netherworld said.

“What is it?” Feng Xi asked.

“Supreme Sun Insignia.”

Feng Xi was speechless.

The two of them were silent for a long time. Then Feng Xi took out the token that he thought it was not helpful, “Boss, are you talking about this token?”

King of the Netherworld was a little shocked, “…Where did you get it?”

Therefore, Feng Xi told him the whole story of the conflict between him and Di Tianhua in Great Plain exactly as it happened, and then he told him that he and Ice Qilin threw Di Tianhua’s two Space Rings into the Demon World and the South Region. He didn’t leave out any details when he told the stories. The clearer the truth was, the more silent King of the Netherworld became.

The entire walkway was very quiet. King of the Netherworld looked at Feng Xi expressionlessly.

The hair on Feng Xi’s body was standing on end because his Boss just stared at him, and he gulped, really having no idea why his Boss had such an expression.

After a while, King of the Netherworld suddenly reached out his hands to hold Feng Xi’s shoulders. The scene around them changed and the two entered the world of Flower Sea.

“So this is the real reason behind the great war between gods and demons.” King of the Netherworld looked up at the blue sky overhead. The Way of Heaven was hidden really deep. He had only calculated that the war would break out in the God and Demon Kingdom after the martial art competition once a century, but he didn’t expect the trigger for the great war to be Xiao Xi. Although he thought it was unexpected, it was also a foregone conclusion.

“What is the great war between gods and demons?” Feng Xi couldn’t understand what the boss was saying at all.

“Of course, it is the war between the Demon World and the Heaven World,” King of the Netherworld sighed when he saw the young boy’s innocent expression. He pointed at Feng Xi’s forehead and continued, “What you’ve done before is the cause of the great war between the Demon World and the Heaven World. A hundred years later, a large-scale war will break out between the Demon World and the Heaven World because of the deeper contradiction. Now it seems that it is impossible to stop them.”

“What…” Feng Xi screamed in surprise.

In a previous incarnation, he was a thief master who had been determined to become the number one thief master of the Three Worlds and steal all the treasures of the Three Worlds. However, he hadn’t intended to lead to a great war between gods and demons. Now he heard the boss say that what he had done before would be the beginning of a great war between gods and demons, how could he not be surprised? ‘That’s really… really amazing. No, this is not the time to be complacent.’
