229. You’re Worse Than a Nobody

Translator: 飞弹

‘Lorraine is indeed a jinx!’

The group of people turned around and saw the noblewoman who raised her chin and was so arrogant like a hen. Wasn’t she just the female aristocrat who had been fighting for the Earth Portion with Feng Xi at the last auction? Seeing this, Feng Xi, Zong Wuqing and Huan Ye immediately cursed Lorraine in their hearts.

They were just talking about the person, then she appeared the next moment, Even the saying ‘out of the mouth comes evil’ was not as efficacious as Lorraine’s mouth, which was really a jinx.

However, the noblewoman clearly was not alone this time. She tightly cuddled a man, who looked gloomy, and walked towards them arrogantly. She looked extremely complacent as if she had finally caught the escaped criminal.

She seemed to be different than she had been before with a backer. Moreover, the backer was Great Heaven God Yin Feng, one of the Nine Heaven Gods, who was indeed a reliable prop. Unfortunately, she was destined to bang her head against an iron plate that was stronger than her prop today.

Noticing there was another good show to watch, the scattered people all gathered around them. Most of the onlookers had recognized the identity of Yin Feng, while only a few people knew that the two whom Yin Feng was opposing were King of the Netherworld and his Queen of the Netherworld.

The noblewoman was called Die Rou, who was the daughter of an influential family and also a concubine of Yin Feng.

Some time ago, she whispered in the ear of Yin Feng when they were in bed, and she embroidered the truth happened at the last auction. She even said that Feng Xi and King of the Netherworld disdained and insulted Yin Feng when she quoted his name, which was totally fabrication. As a result, her words riled Yin Feng exactly the way she hoped it would, and he promised her that if they appeared in Nine Gods City again, he would definitely let them pay the price.

As a consequence, it didn’t take long for Die Rou and Yin Feng to meet them in Nine Gods City.

Yin Feng didn’t know that they were the two people that Die Rou had mentioned, nor did he know that King of the Netherworld was the person responsible for the murder of his three right-hand men. If the three of them had been still alive, they could have been able to tell Yin Feng the truth. But unfortunately they had died early.

Yin Feng only knew that he couldn’t offend King of the Netherworld.

His seat was also in the VIP area, so he walked in the same passage as they did. He didn’t expect the concubine beside him to scream as soon as he approached them.

“Darling, that person is the one who has bullied me that I told you last time. You must stand up for me.” As she saw Feng Xi’s face clearly, Die Rou immediately complained to Yin Feng beside her. When she looked at Feng Xi, her beautiful eyes were filled with malice.

If it had happened in the past, Yin Feng would never be soft with those who bullied her, even if she was just his concubine. However, when Yin Feng made a promise to her, he never thought that the people his concubine mentioned would be the little devil and King of the Netherworld. He knew that the words his concubine reported to him were dramatized, but at that time, he thought that there was no one he couldn’t overpower in God and Demon Kingdom, so he agreed her without a second thought.

Feng Xi looked at the scowling Yin Feng with relish, then turned around and said to King of the Netherworld, shrugging, “Boss, do you know Tom, Dick and Harry?”

King of the Netherworld answered cooperatively, “I don’t know what they are.”

Feng Xi was shocked instantly, “But why did I hear the screams of a nobody just now? Could it be that I’m old and hallucinate?”

Zong Wuqing and Huan Ye’s lips twitched with amusement.

King of the Netherworld glanced at Yin Feng and his concubine coldly, “Xiao Xi, you haven’t misheard. There was indeed a nobody who was screaming just now.”

“Who are you calling as a nobody? Humph, it’s really you, and you are the man who was next to him at that time, right? Don’t think I’m unable to recognize you even if you’ve changed your faces!” Die Rou didn’t expect that the two of them would actually dare to call her a nobody in front of her. However, she never imagined that this man had been disguised before, but fortunately, she still recognized him.

On the other hand, when Yin Feng heard what she said, he instantly looked thoughtful.

“Sorry, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have said you were nobody.” Feng Xi apologized sincerely. Just as Zong Wuqing and Huan Ye thought he had changed his character, Feng Xi added, “Actually, you’re not even as good as a nobody. How mistaken I am! How can I compare you to a nobody!”

Zong Wuqing and Huan Ye were speechless.

‘This guy is really merciless. At least, she is an aristocrat, who suddenly becomes the one worse than a nobody in his mouth.’

“Your Majesty, I don’t know you are here. Please forgive me. I think it may be a misunderstanding. My concubine has been a bit insane these few days that she will become like this when she sees strangers. I originally wanted to bring her to the auction for relaxation, but I didn’t expect her to be the same as she has been in the past few days. I’m really sorry for disturbing you. I also hope that you would forget what happened today, and I’ll send her back now.”

In this situation, Yin Feng wouldn’t want to make a big thing out of it. Otherwise, with the “Old Fox” Feng Yun’s shrewdness, the affair might embarrass him even more, so he had to endure it first. Besides, he also had some things to figure out.

Many people were surprised to see Yin Feng caved in, especially Die Rou, who showed a hint of fear on her beautiful face.

The expressions of those who did not know King of the Netherworld’s identity and were looking for pleasure in seeing Die Rou’s misfortune suddenly became very interesting too. Although they had heard about what had happened on East Avenue two hours ago, some of them still had never seen King of the Netherworld, so they did not recognize him.

When Yin Feng finished, he immediately let someone send Die Rou back. After this incident, this noblewoman would probably never appear in public again.

This small episode did not become a subject of the conversation between Feng Xi and the others. Zong Wuqing and Huan Ye sent them to the designated VIP seats, then they took leave of them because there was not much time left before the auction began.

The VIP seat was equivalent to a room with an independent space that could prevent others from peeping.

Feng Xi and King of the Netherworld’s room was on the second floor, which was very close to the auction stage. Their room could overlook the auction stage clearly. It was the best room in the entire arena with a superlative view. Feng Yun just gave this room to them from the beginning. Even if others wanted it, they could only give up after hearing that the owner of the room was King of the Netherworld.

As Feng Xi had been refining the fire root in Flower Sea yesterday, he was a little sleepy. Once he entered the room, he directly nestled against King of the Netherworld’s chest like a cat to sleep it off.

The crowd outside was still noisy like they were in a wet market, but these VIP rooms were surrounded by access controls, which could insulate them from the noise. Of course, it could also prevent the sound from coming out of the rooms. Anyone who wanted to peep at those rooms by the divine detection would be bounced back by the access control, and worst of all, they might be swallowed by the divine detections. So, unless they had acquired an unshakeable belief in themselves, ordinary people wouldn’t dare to explore the VIP rooms easily.

The arena was silent for a while before someone opened the room from outside.

God of Books, God of Bad Luck, Hairless Chicken and Sky Breaking Beast appeared outside the door. The first two of them opened their mouths and were about to shout loudly when a pair of fierce eyes suddenly swept over them, making them too scared to scream that their hearts almost couldn’t bear it.

Rarely seeing King of the Netherworld with such a fierce gaze, God of Books and God of Bad Luck walked into the room carefully, like children having made a mistake, followed by Hairless Chicken and Sky Breaking Beast, who were smart enough to make no noise. At such an auction where powerhouses gathered, the little master had even appeared here. So how could King of the Netherworld let them come here alone? Only the two idiots, God of Books and God of Bad Luck, would not have thought of it.

As soon as they saw the little master sleeping in King of the Netherworld’s arms, they knew why King of the Netherworld looked at them with such fierce eyes.

As expected, the quiet little master was just a joy to behold. It has been a long time since they saw the little master. And when they met him, they just saw the little master sleeping sweetly. The four of them couldn’t help but miss the little master more, and felt it more interesting to stay by the little master’s side. These days, they had been in the Emerald Dragon Mountains with Lord Carendra just to be coolies, so they couldn’t help but have been very fond memories of the days with their little master, which were just varied and graceful!

There was still a quiet atmosphere in the VIP area.

After a while, the auction finally began. The originally lively noise suddenly quieted down. Everyone stared at the auction stage with their eyes lighting up. Most people didn’t have the ability to bid for the goods at the auction, but it wasn’t a waste to see such a grand auction. What’s more, after the semi-finished Primary Fire Spirit and the Spring Heart appeared, there would be intense competition between the bidders, and the competitions among them must be hotter and more interesting.

Seeing that the auction had begun, God of Books and the others glanced at the King of the Netherworld in surprise.

‘Doesn’t His Majesty intend to wake up the little master?’

Just as they were confused, there was suddenly a knock on the door.

When God of Books received the signal from King of the Netherworld’s eyes, he immediately ran ingratiatingly to open the door and a black shadow that they didn’t know walked in.

The black shadow was Mo Feihan. Feng Xi hadn’t directly told him the condition on the East Avenue before. He just guessed that they might talk to him privately, so he would come to look for them after the beginning of the auction. Anyway, there would be no goods he wanted at this time. His original goal was just the Spring Heart.

When God of Books and the others saw Mo Feihan salute King of the Netherworld respectfully, they realized that they knew each other. He came here at this time, which meant that he might have some secrets to discuss with King of the Netherworld and the little master. Therefore, they immediately closed their ears and shrank to a corner to watch the auction below the room.
