The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

246. Pleasant Surprise

Translator: 独步三月

“Patriarch, don’t agree with them! They are trying to make things difficult for you!”

Hao Yu and Wen Hao were worried that Feng Xi would be provoked into agreeing to this unfair condition. Not to mention that this condition was extremely unfair to begin with. They did not know what the young patriarch was capable of, but they clearly knew the strength of Qing Cang and Huo Fengxuan. If the two pulled their weight, they really didn’t think Patriarch could win.

“I know it.” Unexpectedly, Feng Xi nodded and answered bluntly.

Hao Yu and Wen Hao were stunned.

Others did not expect Feng Xi to be so straightforward, especially Qing Cang and Huo Fengxuan. As Feng Xi said this, they became uncertain about this new patriarch’s thoughts.

“Since Patriarch knows it, then…” Hao Yu wanted to make things clear. Halfway through his words, he was suddenly glared at by the Third Elder, who was Qing Cang’s grandfather. His meaning was obvious. He wanted Hao Yu not to be the busybody and shut his mouth.

However, it happened that Feng Xi also gestured him to stop talking, as if he didn’t notice the action of The Third Elder of the Kirin Family. He looked at Hao Yu with a bright smile, “Little Hao, I’m not dumb. How can I not detect their scheme? Such an obvious trap is placed in front of me. Do they really think I am a three-year-old kid who would be provoked into jumping into it? I am never a man who can be tricked!”

Feng Xi made his meaning crystal clear.

No matter it was on or under the table, deliberate or unintentional, in any case, with such sarcastic words Feng Xi said, no matter how tolerant they were, they could not help but look sullen.

“So, you don’t dare to fight?” Seeing that Feng Xi had set cards on the table, Qing Cang stopped hiding.

It was true that the backer behind the new patriarch was so powerful that they couldn’t even think about shaking him, but so what? Backer was a backer, and it had nothing to do with Feng Xi’s own strength. If he wanted their submission, then prove it to them with strength. Otherwise, even if it was the order of the ancestor, they could subdue verbally, but never sincerely out of their hearts.

The law of the forest of the South Region was Law of the Jungle. The strong one would be the authority, i.e. whoever could fight best would be the boss.

This was something that no one denied. It was deep-rooted in their minds, so they couldn’t accept a patriarch who was weaker than them.

Feng Xi had wanted to tell them that it didn’t matter to him whether they accepted him or not, because he didn’t want to stay here forever. Originally, he wasn’t particularly interested in being a patriarch, but he didn’t reject it immediately because he wanted to help Boss.

In recent years, the Evil Family’s actions against the Netherworld had become more and more frequent. In order to prevent the Evil Family from disturbing the Underworld, the Ghost World and Netherworld, he must take this opportunity to eradicate them. With the help of three super races, the plan to eliminate the Evil Family would be easier. However, in order to make them pull their weight in this operation, it was undoubtedly a good opportunity now.

“I didn’t say that I wouldn’t fight,” Feng Xi said.

Hao Yu and Wen Hao were shocked. They had heard his tone before, which meant that the Patriarch was obviously not going to fight, so why did he suddenly change his mind?

Feng Xi then continued, “There is no problem with making this bet with you, but you can’t expect me to give you a lot of advantages in the beginning of the race just because I am your patriarch. I’m neither your parent nor your descendant. I have no reason to let you guys have any edge. Besides, I haven’t had my twenty-year-old birthday yet. There are so many of you, who are all hundreds of years old, and yet you actually joined to bully me. Shame on you!”

Once he said this, all were quiet.

Qing Cang and Huo Fengxuan did have the intention to bully Feng Xi, but they did not expect him to make it clear. What surprised them even more was that this young man was not even twenty years old. This age could be said to be very small in Kirin Family. No matter how thick their skin was, they could not help but blush. If a young man who did not reach twenty years old was even more powerful than their group of adults who had lived hundreds of years, then they would be really ashamed.

Feng Xi finished his words, regardless of what they thought.

He was used to sitting in King of the Netherworld’s arms. Now as he was sitting in a hard chair, he was uncomfortable all over. After changing several postures, he finally stood up. When others thought he was going to make some shocking remarks, he bent over and got through King of the Netherworld’s arm, then sat back there. Probably because he had spoken too much, and felt thirsty, he took up King of the Netherworld’s cup, and drank up.

After he finished this series of behaviors, he realized that the whole meeting hall was unusually quiet. Everyone seemed to be looking at him.

“Why are you looking at me?” Feng Xi thought he had something on his face, so he wiped it and didn’t find anything. He turned his head and asked King of the Netherworld, while at the same time, he leaned over to show him his face, “Boss, is there anything on my face?”

King of the Netherworld calmly wiped his face, even though his face was soft and tender with nothing on it. “It’s fine.”

Feng Xi thought there was really something on his face, and he turned around to face the crowd again. Finally, he saw that some people had turned away and didn’t stare at him anymore.

Huo Fengxuan of the Phoenix Family reacted first. Having roughly figured out Feng Xi’s meaning, he walked forward with a smile, “We were indeed negligent in this matter, so what do you want?” A totally different attitude.

“What I mean is, if you want to compete, then it has to be fair and make sense. I am different from you. You have so much prestige in the family, so there must be a lot of people standing on your side. If I really follow your proposal, I will be at a disadvantage, so the number of both parties has to be fixed. For instance, if you choose 10 or 20 people to form a team, so do we. What’s more, we cannot take away the opportunity of others, who can also form a team to join the competition. But since it is our own affair, the winning side will get all the treasures of the Evil Family. As to the other teams who lose in the competition, whoever can kill or capture more than one member of the Evil Family alive, I will reward him personally. How does that sound?”

“This proposal is not bad, but King of the Netherworld and ancestors can’t make a move. We all know that King of the Netherworld and ancestors are too powerful for us to compete with. If they make a move, we won’t stand any chance.”

Huo Fengxuan looked at King of the Netherworld and found that he seemed to be ignoring them from the very beginning, and his sole attention was on the young man in his arms. He was relieved when he found that King of the Netherworld seemed to have no reaction to their words. He believed they did not take this new patriarch seriously, but it did not mean that they dared to underestimate the master of Netherworld. If he disagreed, the elders would not allow the competition to continue.

“Of course, Boss and ancestors have to deal with the leaders and senior managers of the Evil Family and won’t interfere in our affairs. As for the target of our competition, as members of the Evil Family are divided according to their strength into Red Soul, Black Soul, Green Soul, Yellow Soul and Grey Soul, we shall hunt the members whose rank are below Black Soul. Is it all agreed?”

Feng Xi had done his preparation before he and King of the Netherworld came over. He could even distinguish the overall strength of the Evil Family, so he was not afraid of them being obstructive at all. Besides, he had Azure Beast, who was the buster of the Evil Family. When they encountered, the Evil Family stood no chance of escaping.

It was because of this that King of the Netherworld didn’t stop him. He knew that Feng Xi was confident.

“Alright, since we have no objections, then let’s make it 20 members in each group,” Qing Cang and Huo Fengxuan nodded at the same time.

“Okay,” Feng Xi nodded immediately. The number of people did not matter to him. He suddenly thought of something else and said, “Add one more.”

In this regard, both Qing Cang and Huo Fengxuan had no objection. It was only one more member on a team, which was only beneficial for them. As Hao Yu and Wen Hao’s reputation in the family was not as high as theirs, and even if they got 20 people, the team wouldn’t be very strong.

After the matter was resolved, Feng Xi, in a good mood, suddenly got to the front of the elders, especially The Third Elder of the Kirin Family. He smiled and said, “Elder, I wonder if you are interested in joining my team?”

As soon as he said this, someone was immediately choked. The one who reacted most obviously was Qing Cang, whose dark eyes widened.

TheThird Elder rubbed his beard calmly. “I won’t participate in the affairs of the young people.”

“Oh…” Feng Xi glanced at him with a faint smile, then he withdrew his gaze as if it was really just a random question. He then focused his attention on Hao Yu and Wen Hao who were worried about him. “You two, help me gather 20 people. I’ll give you a pleasant surprise!”

This word seemed to make the two full of beans suddenly, who ran to gather people.

Coincidentally or intentionally, the last time when Hao Yu and Wen Hao almost fought with each other, they brought ten people on each side, which made it twenty people. These people had no prejudice against Feng Xi and immediately agreed when they heard that he was recruiting members. Soon, the team was ready waiting outside.

“Boss, let’s go and see them together.”

Feng Xi jumped out of King of the Netherworld’s arms and got out when pulling his arm.

King of the Netherworld smiled faintly and walked out together with him. Those twenty people would be the first batch of Xiao Xi’s subordinates and the only ones who wouldn’t have any objections to him. No wonder he was so happy and made a promise of pleasant surprise.

The others, wanting to see what Feng Xi’s pleasant surprise was, followed them out with curiosity.
