The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

235. Ice Qilin Got Caught

Translator: 独步三月

The next day, after bidding farewell to Lorraine, Huan Ye and Zong Wuqing, Feng Xi and King of the Netherworld left for the Forest of the South Region.

The vast South Region was an endless primitive forest, where resided countless Demon Beasts. The more inside one went, the more powerful the beasts became. Since the three super Beast Clans came out to make trouble, the forest had been immersed with a bloody and brutal aura. The Demon Beasts fighting against each other could be seen everywhere, and the practitioners no longer dared to step into the Forest of the South Region.

With the smell of blood getting stronger and stronger, the bloodthirsty nature of some ferocious Demon Beasts was so triggered that their only instinct of seeing practitioners and the demon beasts of other beast clans was to tear them into pieces.

It could be said that these Demon Beast were like killing machines.

Ever since Feng Xi and King of the Netherworld entered the Forest of the South Region, they had seen many scenes like this.

No wonder no practitioner dared to step into this place again. It turned out that the situation had evolved to this degree, which was very critical.

“Boss, when will we arrive?” Feng Xi’s legs were sore owing to the long walking. If he had known this, he might as well stay in the bed and sleep.

“Isn’t it Xiao Xi who first claimed that he wanted to walk around with his legs? But this is just the periphery of the Forest of the South Region. The followers of Ice Qilin are in the central region, far from here. As far as I can see, the three super Beast Clans are going too far. The person guarding the Forest of the South Region won’t allow them to continue messing around.”

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood. King of the Netherworld couldn’t help but frown.

“Boss means that Little Bing is likely to have been kidnapped by that strong powerhouse?” Feng Xi looked at King of the Netherworld with wide eyes.

King of the Netherworld felt that the diction of his little lover was a bit wrong. He pondered for a while and said, “This possibility is not ruled out.”

Feng Xi immediately asked, “Why did that powerhouse kidnap Little Bing? What is his intention?”

King of the Netherworld said, “Ice Qilin is the initiator of the whole thing, and the first person who has broken the implicit rules of the Forest of the South Region. Since the strong powerhouse intervened, he naturally would catch him. The people in the God and Demon Kingdom only know that the Forest of the South Region is the dens of Demon Beasts, but they don’t know if without the powerhouse’s constraint, the Demon Beasts of the South Region Forest has long rushed out of the lair to attack humans. The existence of the powerhouse is only known by a few people. Ice Qilin must have forgotten his existence.”

Feng Xi suddenly felt uncertain, “Then, should we save Little Bing?”

King of the Netherworld shook his head. “Why should we save him? The sin committed by him must be solved by him as well, but Ice Qilin’s move has helped me greatly. The forces of the Forest of the South Region are in a mess. Since the Evil Family is hidden in it, it must have secretly cultivated forces for many years. Now as they have been ruined by Ice Qilin, Evil Family is sure to reorganize them. Thus I can easily find out the Evil Family.”

“Will something bad happen to Little Bing?”

After some thought, Feng Xi finally realized that he was still the master of Ice Qilin. If he didn’t do anything, when Ice Qilin got out, he was sure to find Feng Xi to question him why he didn’t go to save him.

King of the Netherworld raised his eyebrows and looked at Feng Xi, “Xiao Xi seems to care about Ice Qilin a lot?”

Feng Xi immediately said seriously, “I have to pretend to be like that. Otherwise, he will definitely question me when he comes out. I can’t leave myself open to his charges.”

King of the Netherworld nodded and agreed. “Indeed, there would be opportunities to do it when we find the Kirin tribe.”

The two walked on. When Feng Xi made another bloody path, he finally remembered a problem that he had missed. He couldn’t help but shout out in shock. The Demon Beasts nearby had seen how powerful the two were and knew they shouldn’t provoke them, so they immediately fled away.

“Boss, why did that powerhouse only captured Little Bing but let the ancestor of the Ancient Heavenly Dragon escape with injuries? Although it is true that Little Bing is the initiator, he should not take all the responsibility. The Ancient Heavenly Dragon and the Phoenix tribe also had to take the responsibility. If it were not them who were unable to endure the loneliness and get out to fight with Little Bing, this would not have happened.”

At his words, King of the Netherworld’s eyebrows twitched, but he finally held back the urge to correct Feng Xi’s words.

King of the Netherworld answered in a deep voice, “I’m afraid that you have to ask powerhouse.”

“Oh, but who is that powerhouse? Not only was Little Bing unable to beat him, he was even captured by him. Could it be that Little Bing has become weak?”

Feng Xi usually listened to Ice Qilin boasting about how powerful he was. He didn’t expect that he would be taken away as soon as he returned to his den. Could it mean that Little Bing was actually weak?

“It’s not that Ice Qilin is too weak, but that powerhouse is too strong. Ice Qilin has a close tie with him, so it’s natural that he was captured.”

King of the Netherworld remembered a long time ago,that powerhouse almost became his contract Demon Beast.

In the past, that powerhouse was just like Sophora, so arrogant that he felt there was no match for him in the Three Worlds. He had planned to find one more person to fight and then go back to his den to sleep. Unfortunately, he met King of the Netherworld. After being defeated by him, the powerhouse knew that since he had lost, and he would become King of the Netherworld’s contract Demon Beast, but as King of the Netherworld didn’t need a Demon Beast, he refused. However, that powerhouse was so stubborn that he persisted in it for a hundred years.

Before he finally gave up and left, he said that he would have nine children. If King of the Netherworld needed them in the future, he could let his nine children sign the contract. King of the Netherworld knew that the powerhouse was so stubborn so he didn’t say anything to refuse.

Therefore, that powerhouse could be said to be the father of Ice Qilin, the very first dragon from the beginning of the world. Although his nine kids were not born in a normal way, they were his closest relatives by bloodline. Therefore, that powerhouse wouldn’t really hurt Ice Qilin. It was likely that he would imprison Ice Qilin for a period of time, which would be unbearable to Ice Qilin who had been used to running will, and it would be an ideal punishment to him.

“Does that mean that powerhouse is up to something so that he captured Little Bing?” Feng Xi understood suddenly.

King of the Netherworld couldn’t help but be surprised. How did he come up with this idea? “Up to something?”

Feng Xi nodded earnestly and told him his own opinion. “Yes, I think that person’s purpose of arrestingLittle Bing won’t be so simple. Little Bing hasn’t been away from the Forest of the South Region for a long time, so there’s no way he has any enmity with him. He must have fallen for Little Bing, that’s why he took Little Bing away.”

King of the Netherworld knew that he wouldn’t hear any good answer. “Then why is the Ancient Heavenly Dragon injured?”

Neither did he think that his little lover’s understanding was correct, nor could he figure out where this answer came from.

“Love begets hatred?” Feng Xi said and then shook his head. “I’m wrong. It’s jealousy which leads to hatred. That person must have seen the Ancient Heavenly Dragon’s ancestor fight with his sweetheart. He was so angry that he seriously injured the ancestor of the Ancient Heavenly Dragon. Then, he took the opportunity to take Little Bing away. Little Bing had been away from the Forest of the South Region for so long. He might be afraid that he would run away again, so he imprisoned Little Bing.”

King of the Netherworld felt that Feng Xi’s diction was wrong again, but he still didn’t remind him. Although Feng Xi’s understanding of the whole matter was a little messy, it might serve as an excuse to console Feng Xi.

“In that case, don’t worry about Ice Qilin. That person won’t hurt him.”

“No way,” Feng Xi’s eyes lit up with green light. Obviously, he had been intrigued by his own words. “Little Bing is in trouble. As his master, how can I stand by?”

Just now, who said that he wanted to pretend to be caring about Ice Qilin?

Not long after he had posed the seriousl look, Feng Xi revealed his grinning face, and held King of the Netherworld’s arm. “Boss, let’s go watch the show!”

King of the Netherworld had already guessed this result, but not the process. This feeling… was quite fresh, “Then let’s go and watch.”

At the top of Mount Crest, Ice Qilin was trying hard to destroy the cage that had locked him up.

Mount Crest was the highest peak in the depths of the Forest of the South Region. The father of the nine dragon kids lived at the top.

From the foot of the mountain to the peak, there resided many powerful Demon Beasts. These Demon Beasts mostly lived alone, and only moved around in the middle and lower levels of the mountain. They had almost never stepped out of the mountain in their lifetime, swearing to guard Mount Crest to keep away any outsider or Demon Beast of other clans.

The Demon Beasts of the Forest of the South Region could vaguely feel that there was an unusually powerful existence at Mount Crest, but no one could really find out the truth, because even a group of powerful Demon Beasts exploring it would disappear for no reason. Over time, all Demon Beasts formed a consensus, that was, in no way should they go to disturb that powerful existence on Mount Crest.

Only the nine dragon kids knew that the powerhouse resided at Mount Crest. It was a consensus among them. They would even not tell their disciples and followers this secret.

Ice Qilin had been away for so long that he almost forgot about the powerhouse’s existence.

Ice Qilin didn’t expect that in the blink of an eye, he had been taken by that powerhouse to Mount Crest. At that time, he just realized the serious consequence. However, he didn’t regret it. Even if he had a chance to restart it, he would still do it the same way. However, the problem now was how he could escape from the cage. The cage was so unnormally sturdy that it gave him the feeling that it was specially used to imprison him.

“Why don’t you continue?” A cold voice was suddenly heard by Ice Qilin.
