The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

238. Take Advantage of Them Together

Translator: 飞弹

The holy land of the Kirin Family was a wrap in space, but the entrance and the exit were located in the central area of the South Region Forest.

The holy lands of the Phoenix Family and the Ancient Heavenly Dragons were the same. This was why people rarely saw the traces of the three super beast families in the Forest of the South Region, because the space they lived in was absolutely not in the South Region.

Apart from the Mount Crest which was a forbidden area, half of the center of the South Region was occupied by Yin Feng and his subordinates.

However, ever since the appearance of the three super beast families, the distribution of the forces in the central area had been in a mess. Basically, all the factions and territories that originally belonged to Yin Feng had split away. And the central forces had been divided into three well-matched factions. In less than half a month, they had been mutually antagonistic like fire and water, and they just detested each other on sight.

Although Yin Feng tried his best to rush back after receiving the news, when he met his subordinates, he only saw another three beast families who were turned out of the center of the South Region in dejection, namely the Black Dragons of Quagmire, the Hydra Demon Family and the Golden Eagle Family.

If the three super beast families hadn’t appeared, the Black Dragons of Quagmire and the other two families would have been undoubtedly the most noble races of all Demon Beasts in the South Region.

Yin Feng even planned to use these three beast families to unify the South Region, but he didn’t expect such an accident to happen. Not only did his power break up, but even their nests were occupied by others. His beasts who were originally invincible suddenly hit the lowest point in their lives, and the plan he had made a painstaking effort to carry out was destroyed in an instant.

This was a terrible blow to him, but it was a pity that Yin Feng had no strength to retrieve the situation unless the three super beast families retreat themselves.

Now the center of the South Region had been occupied by three super beast families, and there were big or small conflicts every day. The beasts who clung to the three super beast families seemed to be affected by them. In less than half a month, all of them became very arrogant. They would immediately fight with each other after saying a few words when they met. All was chaos and confusion in the center of the South Region.

However, ever since Ice Qilin was captured and the ancestor of Ancient Heavenly Dragons returned getting wounded, this situation had been slightly eased.

When the Kirin Family learned that King of the Netherworld and Feng Xi were coming, they immediately streamed out to welcome them along the roadside.

They had already learned about every detail of the case from their ancestor Ice Qilin and knew the significance of the arrival of Feng Xi and King of the Netherworld. Therefore, after Hao Yu sent them the message saying that they were coming, people of the Kirin Family were immediately making arrangements for the welcoming ceremony. In order to make a good impression on them, they even summoned all the disciples who had gone out.

As soon as Feng Xi entered the holy land of Kirin Family, he was immediately shocked by their exaggerated style of greeting.

As if they had rehearsed their ceremony, a mass of members of the Kirin Family were distributed in the air layer upon layer. When they saw Feng Xi and King of the Netherworld came here, all of the Kirin Family immediately roared. They used what they thought was the most enthusiastic welcoming way to deeper astounded Feng Xi, whose ears were almost deafening.

“If I had predicted the final outcome, I would have thought about it before coming here.”

Feng Xi covered his ears and got close to King of the Netherworld’s side; he somewhat couldn’t stand their “enthusiasm”.

However, King of the Netherworld was not surprised at it. He explained flatly, “This is the way the Kirin Family welcomes guests. The more the members are, the more welcoming they are to guests, which is also a unique feature of the Kirin Family.”

“That’s REALLY unique!” Although that was the case, Feng Xi did not dare to feel delighted.

King of the Netherworld smiled slightly and said nothing.

Feng Xi thought about it and came to whisper in King of the Netherworld’s ear for fear of being heard by others, “Boss, do you want the Kirin Family and the Phoenix Family to help us search for the whereabouts of the Evil Family?” In his mind, it almost corresponded to taking advantage of them.

King of the Netherworld lowered his head and saw the fair neck of the young boy who approached him. He said noncommittally, “The Kirin Family and the Phoenix Family are not as reclusive as people of the outside world said. They are equivalent to the local bullies of the South Region who are more familiar with the place than Yin Feng. No matter how secluded the Evil Family’s cover is, with the capabilities of the Kirin Family and the Phoenix Family, it will be easier to find the Evil Family than White Tiger and others.”

“Then will they think we are taking advantage of them?” Feng Xi felt that it was necessary to discuss this question.

When King of the Netherworld heard this, he couldn’t help but reveal a faint smile. He held the young boy’s body in his arms and said, “Xiao Xi, you’re still too innocent. Even if they know that I’m taking advantage of them, they will only be happier.”

“Why?”

Feng Xi had never heard that one would be happy to know that he was being used. In his opinion, he must be a fool.

King of the Netherworld gently scanned the crowd who showed a flattering smile around him, rubbed the boy’s head, and then shook his head, “Maybe Ice Qilin had some words in their ears that he shouldn’t have said, so they were so enthusiastic.”

Feng Xi glanced at them suspiciously and his eyes widened suddenly, “Do you mean that Ice Qilin has told them that I have many treasures with me? So they want… to grab them back?”

There was instantly a smile in King of the Netherworld’s eyes. He couldn’t help but pinch Feng Xi’s face, “They don’t have the guts to grab them back.”

Just as Feng Xi was about to shake off the hand of King of the Netherworld that was pinching his face, the latter quickly relaxed his grip. Then Feng Xi snorted, “I got it.”

Seeing his cheeks bulging, King of the Netherworld pinched him again in front of everyone of the Kirin Family and said lovingly, “Xiao Xi, I’m glad that you finally think of it. Do you still think I’m using them now?”

Feng Xi touched King of the Netherworld’s chest and said with certainty, “Boss, don’t worry, We shall take advantage of them together.”

The dialogue between the two people couldn’t be heard by the Kirin Family at all. They only saw their mouths were working, but they couldn’t hear the content of their talk at all. Even those who could read other’s lips were unable to know what they were talking. As Feng Xi was not used to making a sound when speaking, every time they said something secret, King of the Netherworld would automatically separate their sounds from their surroundings.

Several lead elders of the Kirin Family looked at each other in dismay. Seeing the expression of the young man kept changing, they were always kind of freaked out by it. Even if the young boy and King of the Netherworld wanted to have a private conversation, was there any need to cut it off from the world around them? However, the young boy looked exactly as wicked as their ancestor described. Besides, the attitude of King of the Netherworld towards the youth was very intimate, which was exactly the same as the rumors.

Seeing them finish talking, the grand elder of the Kirin Family smiled and said, “Your Majesty and Master. Feng Xi, I am Huo Tan, the grand elder of the Kirin Family. I have met you two before. It’s a pleasure to welcome you to our holy land on behalf of our Kirin Family.”

King of the Netherworld replied expressionlessly, “That is very kind of you, Mr. Huo Tan.”

“No, you honored our Kirin Family with a personal visit. Please follow me!”

Huo Tan behaved modestly as if he was an old hospitable man instead of an arrogant person with a fiery temper as the rumor was. But who would have thought that this smiley grand elder of the Kirin Family was a key figure who had caused the South Region to slide into chaos? When he first found out that the Ancient Heavenly Dragons and the Phoenix Family had also come out of their holy lands, he was the one who “abetted” Ice Qilin. And his temper was actually as fiery ad Ice Qilin’s.

In the lobby, Huo Tan heard King of the Netherworld’s intention and showed a thoughtful expression.

“Your Majesty, you mean that the Evil Family is hidden somewhere in the South Region Forest, so you want the Kirin Family and the Phoenix Family to work together to find them out and eliminate them?”

“That’s right, the scope of the other three Totem Sacred Lords’ activities is at the edge of the South Region Forest. They are unable to arrive here in a short time, so we need your help for the time being,” King of the Netherworld looked at the shrewd Huo Tan with his deep dark eyes.

Huo Tan squinted and his narrow and long eyes suddenly lengthened a little, which made him look more like an old fox. How could he be an ordinary person as the grand elder of the Kirin Family? So he immediately saw through the plan of King of the Netherworld.

If King of the Netherworld already had a plan, how would he not have been well prepared before coming here? Huo Tan also had heard of the four Totem Sacred Beasts before. They were Green Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. Except from Vermilion Bird, the other three Totem Sacred Beasts were active on the east edge of the South Region Forest. They rarely participated in the struggle for power of the South Region Forest, yet their strength could not be underestimated, so few people dared to provoke them.

The Totem Sacred Beast of Vermilion Bird was Fire Phoenix of the Phoenix Family. Ever since Fire Phoenix became the Lord of the Underworld, it rarely contacted the Phoenix Family because the Lord of the Underworld couldn’t leave there easily. So Huo Tan could know it without checking it. Although that was the case, if the Lord of the Netherworld asked them for help, the Phoenix Family couldn’t refuse him at all.

As for their Kirin Family, their ancestor had even become the indentured Mythical Beast of Feng Xi. If they don’t help King of the Netherworld, their ancestor will probably have a hard time in the future, and therefore their lives would also be tough. He originally thought they could get some benefits from King of the Netherworld and Feng Xi, but finally they would be asked for help.

“It gives our Kirin Family great pleasure to be able to serve you, Your Majesty.” Although he was a little disappointed, Huo Tan did not show it on the surface.

“In that case, I will leave the affair of the Evil Family to you. And I will explain the situation to the  Phoenix Family later. In addition, I suspect that the Evil Family has already intervened in the battle between you three great beast families. It is very likely that they are scheming to make you become real enemies with each other. You can also investigate this matter thoroughly by the way.”

King of the Netherworld was not surprised by Huo Tan’s compromise. This old guy’s skin was even not as thick as Ice Qilin’s.

After that, Huo Tan sent someone to take King of the Netherworld and Feng Xi to the guest room for a rest, and then he started to contact the Phoenix Family. If the Evil Family really provoked their relationship in secret and wanted to deepen their rift as King of the Netherworld said, then they indeed couldn’t stand it. The Evil Family were outcast in the Three Worlds. They were also cultivators, but their tactics were so diabolical and sinister that they were the heretics whom everyone wanted to kill. Even the Kirin Family didn’t like them either.

In the room, Feng Xi immediately threw himself at King of the Netherworld with admiration, leaving a mouthful of saliva on King of the Netherworld’s face after kissing him.

King of the Netherworld couldn’t help but smile and squinted his eyes to kiss Feng Xi’s chubby pink mouth.
