The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

251. Mind Reading

Translator: 飞弹

“Hey, old tree. Tell me secretly, do you have anything else that is delicious?”

Feng Xi suddenly asked Tree of the World in a low voice. Just as Feng Xi said, he almost grew tired of the sameness of Fruit of the World every day. He needed to replenish another fresh fruit to eat everyday. He felt that Tree of the World should have some other fruits after living for so long.

“Ha ha, you little guy, this is your real purpose, right?” The huge body of the Tree of the World shook violently, which showed obviously that he was amused by Feng Xi’s words.

However, one of the Evil Family outside immediately crossed the border when Tree of the World shook the body. Fortunately, the invader’s cultivation level was not very high.

The fiend of the Evil Family slashed at Feng Xi with a serrated weapon.

“Die!” Tree of the World’s howl immediately rang out, and his branches like limbs quickly swept towards that member of the Evil Family.

However, Feng Xi kept one step ahead of the Tree of the World. He turned around and gave that invader a roundhouse kick. Not only did he dodged the Evil Family member’s serrated weapon, he also slammed that guy’s cheek with his back of the foot. That unrestrained kick immediately made half of the invader’s cheek puffed up and he fell to the ground, unable to get up again. Then Feng Xi summoned the Azure Beast and said “eat him” in a cold voice.

Tree of the World was shocked to see Feng Xi did it in one smooth motion.

He originally thought that this little guy was very kind. It turned out that there was such a cold side of him. What he said just now could be comparable to the words that King of the Netherworld said when he sealed off the space. ‘The little guy is really secretive about himself.’

In fact, a mere Black Soul was easy for Feng Xi to deal with base on his current strength.

Besides, Feng Xi would never show mercy to people who had disturbed his good plan.

“Little Glaze, watch over the entrance. I’ll go to meet you after I deal with my business. And I’ll give you something delicious by then.” Feng Xi’s cold side faded quickly, and he returned to his smiling appearance.

The Azure Beast immediately wagged its short but vigorous tail and ran over happily to guard the entrance.

If God of Books and the others of Feng Xi’s servants were here, they would regard the Azure Beast as Feng Xi’s double, because the two would be willing to do anything when they heard there were benefits.

Hearing the little guy talking to his own pet in a seductive tone, Tree of the World couldn’t help but feel awkward.

“Take my things to bribe others. Little guy, you’re really something. Alright, considering that you have saved me and the Spring Heart, I can give you whatever you want.”

“What? You know that?” Feng Xi was referring to saving the Spring Heart, but he remembered that Tree of the World still had asked the Spring Heart for help.

“The Spring Heart must have told you that we can communicate with each other by telepathy. There should be one more thing that he doesn’t tell you. He, the naughty guy, was actually chased away by me. He has a very amazing ability, that is mind reading. But this naughty guy always liked to use it recklessly. Goaded beyond endurance, I chased him away later on, but I didn’t have the ability of mind reading. At most, I could only know what the Spring Heart is thinking by telepathy. Isn’t he hiding in your clothes? You can ask him.”

The moment Feng Xi heard the skill of mind reading, his eyes narrowed. He took the Spring Heart out of his clothes and snorted twice, “The old tree said you have the ability of mind reading, is it true? You’d better not try to lie to me.”

The Spring Heart lowered his head and muttered under his breath, “Yes…”

Feng Xi finally exploded with rage. Driven beyond endurance, he gave the Spring Heart a punch, “So in Flower Sea, you knew what I was thinking, but you still deliberately pretended to be scared. That’s good, you would actually dare to lie to me.”

“No, no, I was really not pretending to be like that,” The Spring Heart was afraid of Feng Xi’s retaliation, so he quickly explained, “I can read your mind, but I can’t read the mind of his Majesty. He is too powerful that I don’t dare to use the ability of mind reading on him at all. And I was afraid that he will find it out, so I didn’t dare to use mind reading on you. Therefore, I don’t know what you were thinking at that time.”

“Is it true?” Feng Xi’s eyes widened.

“Of course. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the old tree,” the Spring Heart was afraid that Feng Xi would hit him again, so he quickly shrank.

“He didn’t lie at this point. This naughty guy is actually a person who likes to bully the weak while fears the strong. No matter how bold he is, he doesn’t dare to use the mind reading against King of the Netherworld.” Seeing that the Spring Heart finally knew to be scared, Tree of the World couldn’t help but say something good for him. After all, he hadn’t seen him for a long time, and he actually missed the naughty guy a lot.

“Forget it, I’ll believe you once, but…” Feng Xi shook his hands generously.

“But what?” When he heard that Feng Xi seemed to have something to say, the Spring Heart felt happy but a little cautious.

“Well, as the price for deceiving me, you have to pass on the ability of mind reading to me,” The hesitation on Feng Xi’s face changed into a smile with an air of expectancy.

The Spring Heart was speechless. ‘You bastard!’

“Alright, that’s the end of the chat. Let’s get down to business. Little guy, you’re pretty lucky this time. There’s an orchard behind me. I transplanted spiritual fruit trees to this orchard from somewhere long ago. Although the effect of the fruits are not as good as Fruit of the World, it will also be helpful for cultivation if you eat them. No one has ever picked it for many years since they were ripe. Go and pick as much as you can. As for Fruit of the World, you can leave a bag to me and I’ll pack some of them in it for you. Hurry up! My strength is almost exhausted, and I could only resist them for another hour.” Tree of the World said.

“Time is so pressing? Then you must fill it up for me,” Feng Xi dropped a bag and quickly ran away.

The Spring Heart picked up the bag from the ground and was almost speechless when he looked at it, “Is he kidding? This is an ultimate bag. Even if all the Fruits of the World are stored in it, it can’t be filled. He actually wants you to fill it up? Does he really think that Fruit of the World is a kind of fruit that can be bought anywhere?”

“Alright, I’ll put as much as I can into it.” Tree of the World was also amused.

The orchard had been protected by the Tree of the World. If one didn’t deliberately explore for the orchard, he or she wouldn’t be able to find it. Because Tree of the World took the initiative to let him go to pick the fruit, Feng Xi immediately saw enormous acreages of fruit trees, which were seemingly endless.

Feng Xi was no longer a weak one whose cultivation level was very low back then. An hour seemed to be short, but it was enough for him to pick the fruit now. He summoned both the Sky Breaking Beast and Hairless Chicken. God of Books and God of Bad Luck were outside, so he couldn’t call them in. He gave each beast a bag, and let them put as much as they could into the bags. If they were unable to do it, they could just eat the fruit to avoid wasting them.

Although Sky Breaking Beast and Hairless Chicken had no choice, actually they did the work very energetically as they could get something to eat.

The two beasts and one man moved in three directions, and everything they saw was put into the bags. Big or small, good or bad, they didn’t miss any fruit wherever they went, which was even more amazing than a mopping-up operation.

The orchard was run by Tree of the World a long time ago. At that time, the Three Worlds hadn’t formed yet, and the Spiritual Energy was very rich, and there were many kinds of spiritual fruit in various species. Tree of the World picked four or five seeds from each species of them and planted those seeds in the orchard. So, many of the fruit trees planted in the orchards had already been extinct in the Three Worlds. As Tree of the World had abundant spiritual energy, the trees in the orchard had grown with luxuriant foliage. And each piece of fruit was red, plump, and similar in size to each other.

They didn’t work for long and an hour was up. But the orchard was too big and Feng Xi didn’t know if he had pick half of the fruit of the orchard. But the bags of the two beasts and one man were full with the fruit. It seemed that the overall harvest was good, and there were all kinds of spiritual fruit in the bags.

Feng Xi returned to the Tree of the World and inevitably saw that the Evil Family outside had stormed in.

The Azure Beast was surrounded and attacked by a dozen people of the Evil Family. Although it was the natural predator of the Evil Family, these Evil Family members had occupied the body of the living human beings. If the Azure Beast wanted to absorb their souls, it must defeat them first. However, the Evil Family was obviously very wary of the Azure Beast, so they sent many people to attack it.

Originally, Shyliren wanted all of his subordinates to deal with Feng Xi, but King of the Netherworld knew that Feng Xi could not deal with Red Souls now, so he only left Feng Xi some Black Souls, but there were also some strong ones among the Black Souls, so how to deal with them was up to Feng Xi.

The Spring Heart was the most timid one, hiding on the head of Tree of the World and refusing to come down.

As soon as Feng Xi came back, three or four Evil Family members with the strength of Black Soul rushed towards him. However, Feng Xi’s running body did not stop at all. Instead, he accelerated to rush to the Black Souls with the force of a thunderbolt. And the giant dragon coiling around the sliver spear in his hand was summoned again. The dragon soared skywards with the ancient smell and its roar rang through the World of Ink.

This time, the pressure around the dragon become stronger than that of it when it appeared in the Heaven World, and the aura around its body was also getting more and more intense.

When the giant dragon appeared again, Feng Xi could feel that it seemed to have become stronger, as if it was going to reach the level of Lesser Heaven God. It seemed to be growing with Feng Xi. In the blink of an eye, the sky seemed to be torn apart by the giant dragon. The Evil Family members screamed miserably and were swallowed by the Azure Beast, leaving only a lot of corpses which had turned into skeletons on the ground.

Feng Xi turned his body on one foot as he made a high and good kick with the other and kicked the nearest Evil Family member into the Azure Beast’s mouth.

However, Shyliren had sent a lot of people of the Evil Family to deal with Feng Xi as a precaution. There were still dozens of them left, and all of them ran at Feng Xi one after another, not afraid of death. Feng Xi had rarely kept fighting for so long like this and he couldn’t help but become enormously enthusiastic too.

The battle on his side was still going on but King of the Netherworld was about to end his fight.
