The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

25. Passing the Buck

Translator: Ning LL

Rumors were sweeping the whole Rest Night City like a tornado. Within three days, everyone in the Netherworld knew what had happened.

The great King of the Netherworld showed up in public for a boy and banished Dongfang Ao’s daughter to the Red Lotus Hell. According to the witnesses, the boy wasn’t from any race of the Netherworld but was actually a human, the most inferior race in the Three Worlds. What was more, this human was favored by King of the Netherworld and recognized as the partner of the King by the way of Heaven. For those that adored the King deeply, that fact was like a bomb that exploded in their heads.

While the outside world was bubbling with noise, the Palace was still in peace.

The boy was the only one that was making noises now, because he wanted to defend his egg with his life.

“This egg was… Eh, I remember now, I have picked this egg up from the outside. That’s right. From the outside.” Feng Xi curled his lips while covering up the egg in his pocket as best as he might.

“Give it back to me.” King of the Netherworld reached out his hand calmly, seeming quite imposing.

Feng Xi bowed his head in low spirits while murmuring with his lips curled, “Niggard, you have so many eggs. Why can’t you just give me one? It turns out that my leader is a niggard.”

Although he kept complaining, he still gave the Demon Beast Egg back reluctantly, in order not to lose his free ticket for meals.

Nevertheless, after he returned the Egg, he only lowered his head injuredly, like a little girl who had been bullied.

“This is an egg of Blue Wolf. This kind of beast has complicated bloodlines, including the dark ones which don’t suit you. It’ll do you no good if you sign a contract with a Blue Wolf.”

The King said that slowly, trying his best to explain to the boy.

Feng Xi became dazed, and then he realized that his leader thought that he wanted to sign a contract with that Demon Beast.

Although…

Feng Xi rolled his eyes and thought, ‘Being understood is better than letting him find my true intention. In this case, I can actually take advantage of this.’

“So, it doesn’t suit me at all. Well, I’ll forget about it then. I don’t want it anymore!” Feng Xi pretended to be disappointed with a sigh, as if he really felt deeply sorry for that.

However, the boy was so immersed in his emotion that he didn’t realize the King had already seen through him with those two bright dark eyes.

“Also, next time if you run into something like this, you only need to call me inwardly. I’ll show up by your side right away, do you understand?” The King stated that calmly.

Feng Xi nodded immediately, but then he realized something else.

“My leader, what if you can’t arrive in time?”

“It won’t happen.”

“I mean what if.”

Feng Xi was definitely the first person in the Three Worlds that dared to question King of the Netherworld.

After all, the boy didn’t know that his leader, who was also his future husband, was the King who dominated trillions of people in the Netherworld. What was more, the King also ruled the Heaven and the Demon World. Even the fates of the Gods and the Demons were controlled by the King. Therefore, even all the creatures in the Heaven and Demon worlds feared him. In brief, the King was the deity above everything.

“If there is not enough time, you can ride the flying chicken to escape. Keeping yourself alive is the priority.” King of the Netherworld didn’t mind the boy’s doubt and only replied in a calm way.

Feng Xi glanced at Hairless Chicken disdainfully and immediately reported to the King, “My leader, Hairless Chicken is so useless. When I was beaten by that woman, it couldn’t save me. It wasn’t even able to get rid of that man in black. How can I entrust it with my life!”

Hairless Chicken shrank itself in the corner, feeling wronged.

The Chicken really shouldn’t be blamed. That guard in black really was very strong, otherwise he wouldn’t be chosen to be Dongfang Ling’er’s personal bodyguard. As the Prime Flamen in the Netherworld, Dongfang Ao had many outstanding people as his subordinates. The cultivation of the bodyguard in black might have already reached the ninth grade. Meanwhile, although Hairless Chicken was also in the ninth grade, its power was not very steady yet. Thus it was not a surprise that it couldn’t defeat that guard.

Unfortunately for the chicken, it couldn’t explain for itself because it couldn’t transform into a human’s figure yet. Therefore, it could only expect that the King could understand its difficulties.

King of the Netherworld fixed his eyes on Hairless Chicken. The Chicken then couldn’t help but tremble, seeming extremely pitiful.

Feng Xi looked at the Chicken, rolling his eyeballs.

‘You are copying what I did, Chicken! That’s so despicable!’

“How about me raising its cultivation to the Saint Realm?” King of the Netherworld pondered for a while and said that.

The boy and the Beast showed completely different reactions. Hairless Chicken was petrified but Feng Xi got overjoyed right away.

“Saint realm? That sounds awesome!”

‘You know nothing!’ The Chicken thought.

The King nodded. Saint Realm meant nothing for him. If he raised the Chicken’s cultivation to the fifth grade in the Saint Realm, it would be able to help the boy escape from anyone with its speed, even if it could not defeat the extremely powerful ones.

King of the Netherworld only did that to comfort the boy. There was no place in the Three Worlds where he couldn’t reach. Even if the boy was ten thousand kilometers away from the King, the latter was still able to arrive by the boy’s side in no time.

“Fine, deal!” Feng Xi smiled happily.

Hairless Chicken finally recovered from stiffness. Hearing the boy’s words, it actually felt very bitter.

Actually, it was all the boy’s credit that the Chicken’s cultivation could be raised to a higher level and the Chicken should thank the boy. However, now Hairless Chicken only felt its future really unpromising!

‘Why do I end up in this!’ The Chicken cried out inwardly.
