“You… Why are you looking at me like this?”

Ice Qilin felt creepy under Feng Xi’s gaze. He was afraid that Feng Xi would detect something.

Feng Xi held his chin and looked Ice Qilin up and down. After a long while, he asked in suspicion, “Little Bing, why do I feel you’re acting weird?”

Ice Qilin’s expression was stiff, thinking that Feng Xi had seen through something, so he tried his best to regain his composure and spoke with a casual and relaxed tone, “How am I weird? It’s your illusion. Since we’ve not seen each other for a long time, it’s only natural that you have such an illusion.”

Feng Xi tilted his head. “Is that so?” It had been less than half a month since their separation in Heaven World.

Ice Qilin nodded hurriedly, “Of course.”

“Hey hey hey, you…” God of Books finally couldn’t stand it and patted on Feng Xi. It was only when the latter’s attention shifted to him that he said helplessly, “Master, shouldn’t you ask questions like: why does he appear here and why does he suddenly come back while he have been missing?”

“Oh, it almost slipped my mind. Little Bing, why are you suddenly back?”

Unless God of Books mentioned it, Feng Xi hadn’t realized it yet. However, Ice Qilin’s sudden showing up was indeed suspicious. Feng Xi remembered that Boss ever said that the person who took Ice Qilin away was a very powerful person, much more powerful than Ice Qilin. How could Ice Qilin escape then? He had intended to take a look there by himself.

“Can’t I come back?” Ice Qilin glared at God of Books imperceptibly, resentful that he reminded Feng Xi of this.

God of Books blinked innocently. He was stating the facts. Shouldn’t normal people ask these questions?

“No, I just want to say, uh, did that person do anything to you?” Feng Xi looked Ice Qilin up and down, wanting to make sure that he was not hurt. However, Ice Qilin suddenly became agitated, as if his tail was stepped upon.

“What what what… What do you mean ‘did anything to me’? You, you, don’t talk nonsense. I, I… I’m fine …” Ice Qilin stuttered for the first time. He was panicking. Something was up.

God of Books and God of Bad Luck only thought that he had overreacted to what had happened. However, Feng Xi’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Was he right in his conjecture?

Ice Qilin and the Mount Crest’s strong person had an affair?

Feng Xi squinted his eyes, then he switched into a naive and knowing-nothing look. “Little Bing, why are you so nervous? I’m just asking you if you’re hurt. Didn’t you say you were caught by a very powerful person? Did he beat you?”

“So that’s what you mean…” Hearing him say so, Ice Qilin realized that he had overreacted. He gave a dry laugh to disguise his gaffe. “Haha, I’m fine. I’m not hurt.” The aching ass could not be counted as being hurt.

Ice Qilin let out a sigh of relief. He was glad that Feng Xi didn’t thought of something about “that”. Otherwise, he would really be disgraced.

What he did not know was that Feng Xi was seriously observing his behaviours. Seeing his reaction, Feng Xi understood that something must have happened between him and that strong person. Otherwise, Ice Qilin wouldn’t be so flustered when he mentioned it.

“There is something wrong with the posture you walk. Are you really okay?” Feng Xi asked again.

“I have said I’m fine. Why are you asking so many questions? I’m mighty and invincible Lord Ice Qilin. Nobody can hurt me. You can rest assured!” Ice Qilin waved his hand casually and withholding the pain in the ass, he deliberately walked several steps to show Feng Xi.

In fact, Ice Qilin’s usual walking posture was not so sedate. Feng Xi once again found a loophole.

“How did you get caught by that strong person?” asked Feng Xi.

Ice Qilin’s expression instantly stiffened, and then he became angry. “Who told you that I was caught?”

“My Boss, and everyone else said that. Everyone said that even the ancestor of Ancient Heavenly Dragon was injured. He has about the same strength as you. It’s impossible that you’re fine!” Feng Xi seemed to know that Ice Qilin would say that, and he was ready to refute.

Ice Qilin clenched his teeth. He didn’t expect the news to get out so quickly. It must have been spread by chief of Ancient Heavenly Dragon, who ran so quickly back then and abandoned Ice Qilin behind. He was just afraid that the powerful guy would take him back as well! This dragon bastard! Not only did he run away alone, but he also dared to spread the news that Ice Qilin was caught. The next time Ice Qilin saw him, he definitely wouldn’t give this dragon an easy time.

“I admit that I was indeed caught by him previously, but it’s not what you think. In fact, I’ve cleared up the misunderstanding with that person. It’s just a misunderstanding. He mistook me for someone else, so he enthusiastically entertained me for a few days to express his apologies. Just now, he wanted to personally send me back, but I rejected it. That’s it!”

Stumbling all along, Ice Qilin explained a lot, completely deviating from reality, and even he himself felt a little guilty about it.

Feng Xi stared at him for a moment, and only after a few drops of sweat fell from Ice Qilin did he smile and say, “So that’s the case. That person is really hospitable. Next time, you’ll have to introduce him to me.”

“Yeah… some day, …” Ice Qilin only felt his sweaty back. He would never introduce the two to each other. Of course, these words could not be heard by that old man as well.

“By the way, everyone is discussing the issue of dealing with the Evil Family. Since you’re back, you should join them! With someone as powerful as you, none of the people in the Evil Family can escape,” Feng Xi didn’t nail Ice Qilin’s lie. Instead, he switched to another topic.

“Oo… Of course!” Ice Qilin’s eyelid twitched a few times, with a guilty conscience.

He originally planned to leave the South Region Forest immediately, but he didn’t expect that he had made his own bed. If he proposed to leave the South Region, the little brat would definitely ask him why. When he could not explain himself. He might end up being a coward. So no matter what, he couldn’t leave the South Region right now. He could only hope that the old man wouldn’t find him immediately, or his lies would be stripped away under the confrontation of the both parties.

Watching Ice Qilin suffer a huge blow and stagger out of his sight, Feng Xi finally jumped up in excitement. He stood on a stone with his hands on his waist and laughed loudly, the feigned solemnness vanishing into the air. A complete smirky brat!

God of Books and God of Bad Luck were speechless when they saw him like this.

“I’m not mistaken. There is indeed something between him and that powerful guy. Haha! It’s finally discovered by me!”

“What did Xiao Xi find out?” King of the Netherworld suddenly appeared behind Feng Xi and carried him off the stone, with his dark eyes full of smile.

“Boss, let me tell you a piece of good news.” Without thinking, Feng Xi turned around and held King of the Netherworld’s neck, with his legs clasping on his waist, which made him looked like a koala bear. However, his expression was unusually excited. He giggled, “Llittle Bing does have an affair with that strong person. He just came back, and walked in the same way when my ass used to ache.”

‘It turns out that this was how you judged, with what you have experienced personally. No wonder you are so sharp!’

God of Books thought so in a daze. He had thought that his master had become smarter, so he would see through Ice Qilin’s feigned composure.

“In this way, he is indeed very problematic,” King of the Netherworld held Feng Xi’s back with one hand and walked back. He was indeed Feng Xi, whose judging way was peculiar.

“So it is. Even Boss thinks there’s something wrong with him, so there must be something wrong. He even told me about that strong person…”

Feng Xi let King of the Netherworld carry him away, and narrated to him what Ice Qilin had just said, without noticing that the people who passed by them or accidentally saw them from the distance were already stunned. All people had only one thought, that was, their Patriarch was actually hanging on King of the Netherworld like a koala bear. What a soul-stirring posture!

What was heard was one thing, but what was seen in person was totally another thing. The great Patriarch was actually such a clingy person?

Feng Xi, who had returned to the room, didn’t know that his image had undergone a subversive change in the eyes of Kirin Clan and Phoenix Clan.

Feng Xi held King of the Netherworld’s arm, smiling ambiguously and whispering to him, “Boss, do you think Little Bing and that strong person have done that?”

King of the Netherworld pulled him into the arms and sat on a chair. He kissed Feng Xi on the lips before saying, “Isn’t Xiao Xi sure about it?”

Feng Xi said, “It is just in case. If I am wrong, Little Bing will so laugh at me.”

King of the Netherworld smiled, “Trust your intuition. Don’t worry about anything else.”

Feng Xi immediately smirked.

“Master, don’t smile so vulgarly, it’s very ugly,” God of Books really wanted to pretend not to see it, but he still felt that the smile on his master’s face was too garish. It really didn’t fit the master’s face, which was so cute.

Feng Xi put away his smile and gazed at God of Books with a grim look. It was not until the latter took the initiative to zip his mouth that he withdrew his grim gaze. When he looked at King of the Netherworld, his face already lit up with the pure naiveness.

The fast changing face and the vast difference between treating him and King of the Netherworld stunned God of Books.

Now, there was only one thought in his mind–his master was turning bad!
