The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

277. Give Me a Kiss

Translator: 独步三月

“Actually, it was just a casual remark.” Feng Xi withdrew his stunned look and rubbed his head.

“Although it has not come of age, it is still a high-level ocean beast. It can understand human speech,” King of the Netherworld smiled and caressed Feng Xi’s head twice. He was wondering whether his sweetheart had just made a casual comment.

Feng Xi covered his face and avoided King of the Netherworld’s look. His eyes fell in the direction where the giant turtle had left, revealing a trace of attachment.

“Can’t bear to part with it?” King of the Netherworld could figure out his mind without looking at his expression.

“Yeah, but…” Feng Xi indeed nodded, showing a hint of regret and contradiction on his face. He then continued, “This turtle is so big, and there must be a lot of meat on its body. We can eat it for more than a year, so… well, forget it.”

King of the Netherworld was amused by his pretentious look, and then he showed a slightly regretful expression, “In this case, this turtle is too small. It’s not enough for Xiao Xi to eat. It seems that this turtle can only be thrown away.”

“Turtle?” Feng Xi looked up with pleasant surprise and saw a colourful turtle in King of the Netherworld’s hand.

This seven-colored turtle was only the size of a fist, and its head and four paws were back in the shell. It lay quietly in King of the Netherworld’s palm. Its turtle shell was very beautiful, and every patch of it was made up of seven colors, which looked like a rainbow after the rain.

This was the first time Feng Xi had seen a seven-colored turtle. He immediately took it fondly.

As King of the Netherworld said, this turtle was indeed very small, so small that one could fit the whole turtle into the mouth, but such a small turtle was indeed more suitable for Feng Xi to raise. As it grew up slowly, it might be as big as the giant turtle.

“Boss, how did you get this turtle?” Though he liked it, Feng Xi was still very confused where Boss got it. Since the start of the battle, he had been together with Boss, and their separation time was no more than an hour, which was barely enough for Boss to go to the sea to catch a turtle for him.

“When I came over just now, I found it outside the shell of the giant turtle.”

When King of the Netherworld came over, he happened to see a coloured turtle crawling out of the shell of the giant turtle. It was probably due to its low speed that it just climbed out now. King of the Netherworld just remembered that his sweetheart wanted to raise a turtle, so he took it with him, but at that time, the seven-colored turtle did not return to its shell, and it even looked around curiously.

“Oh, maybe it was born from the giant turtle,” Feng Xi liked the seven-coloured turtle very much.

King of the Netherworld raised his eyebrows and hesitated about whether to tell him that the giant turtle was male, and it had not come of age yet. With its bloodline, it couldn’t produce this highbred seven-colored turtle. However, thinking of Feng Xi’s attempt to make Yin Mie give birth to a son, King of the Netherworld simply gave up.

After that, the city-defending battle drew to a close because Hec’Mo escaped and the Minsento brothers returned to Degenerate God Ravine. The winning party was naturally Iron Fence.

After Hec’Mo’s ten men were killed by Zhan Tian and the others, the ocean beasts returned to the sea without a commander. Soon, only a pile of ocean beast corpses and bloodstains were left outside the town. The blood streams made the nearby Ocean World redder, which looked like a blood sea. At this time, not many cultivators dared to go to the sea. No one was sure whether the ocean beasts in the sea had left or not.

Then, in addition to the soldiers who were taking care of the wounded, the rest were despatched by the warlike family to clean up the bodies of ocean beasts outside the city.

Although these ocean beasts were low-grade ones, they were not totally valueless. Many ocean beast bodies could be traded for a lot crystal coins. Hence, after each city-defending battle, the warlike family would always go outside the town to gather the ocean beast bodies.

In order to express their gratitude for King of the Netherworld, the warlike family specifically invited King of the Netherworld to their home.

In this battle, without the help of King of the Netherworld, the Iron Fence would have been razed to the ground by ocean beasts. In all consideration, the warlike family should thank King of the Netherworld. However, to put it specifically, they might have to thank Feng Xi because if he hadn’t come out of the town to see what ocean beasts looked like, they wouldn’t have intervened under such a timing.

However, when Zhan Tian made an invitation, the first one to object was…

“No,” Feng Xi simply refused, not even showing any intention of negotiating.

“Uh… Can I ask why?” The smile on Zhan Tian’s face froze, and he couldn’t figure out Feng Xi’s thoughts. From Feng Xi’s tone, there seemed to be some dissatisfaction.

“No reason, I’m just unhappy to see someone,” Feng Xi said in a straightforward tone as if there was no room for negotiation at all.

“Ah…” Zhan Tian was even more confused.

“It’s best that you don’t come,” Zhan Ling murmured, seeing Feng Xi assuming airs, but everyone present had superb hearing and had basically all heard it.

“Zhan Ling, how can you say that?” Zhan Tian yelled at him immediately.

Zhan Hui was clearly aware of the whole story. If he had guessed it right, it must have something to do with Zhan Ling. He had felt something fomenting between the teenager and Zhan Ling, who seemed to have some more conflicts on the giant turtle back. Seeing the anger on his father’s face, he immediately walked over to his father and explained in a low voice.

Therefore, Zhan Tian knew that his grandson not only tried to snatch hand fans from them, but he also had such a thought. He couldn’t help but glare at Zhan Ling. It turned out that it was him that made the mess.

Seeing his grandfather staring at him, Zhan Ling couldn’t help but curl his lips–he thought he didn’t do anything wrong.

“Well, young hero, you don’t have to mind it. I will discipline him,” Knowing the reason of refusal, Zhan Tian immediately invited Feng Xi again. When all goes to all, Feng Xi was still a child.

“Alright, then Boss and I would manage to stay a night in your home.”  Feng Xi was cheered to see Zhan Ling get thwarted. ‘Brat, the more you don’t like me to stay, the more I want to stay, as long as it could piss you off.’

“Thank you, young hero. To be serious, you are Zhan Ling’s saviour. It is only proper for Zhan Ling to say thank you.” Zhan Tian finally heard that the other party was finally willing to be a guest. Although it was only one night, it was enough. After that, he remembered that Feng Xi had saved Zhan Ling, and he said to Zhan Ling, “Zhan Ling, come and thank this young hero.”

“I…” Zhan Ling was reluctant. He really didn’t want to thank Feng Xi. But if he didn’t say it, he would wind up as an ungrateful man. For a moment, he was in a dilemma.

Feng Xi smiled and thought that this old man called Zhan Tian was nice.

King of the Netherworld was afraid that Feng Xi would laugh and  fall, so he quickly held his back. Feng Xi didn’t know the meaning of Zhan Tian’s words, but he heard it clearly.

“Zhan Ling!” Seeing that he kept silent for a long time, Zhan Tian couldn’t help but frown.

“Grandfather…” Zhan Ling stomped his foot, but as he saw his grandfather’s cold face, he dared not hesitate. He had to drag his footsteps to Feng Xi and turned his head away, whispering, “Thank you!”

“Eh-hem, what did you say? I didn’t hear it.”Feng Xi also turned away his head.

Zhan Tian knocked on Zhan Ling’s head and said with an angry face, “Are you expressing your thanks? Is there someone as insincere as you? At least, you need to watch the other person in the eyes and say it loudly. How did I teach you usually?”

Zhan Ling stroked the place where he was knocked and yelled at Feng Xi angrily, “Thank you!”

Feng Xi covered his ears and leaned against King of the Netherworld’s back like he was startled. Then he finally said, “Not…at all!”

Zhan Tian had wanted to crack open Zhan Ling’s head to see what he was thinking about. How he could get so moody at this time? They were the saviors of Iron Fence. Treating saviors with such an attitude, this narrow-minded person ended up to be his grandson. What a nuisance!

After leaving other people to clean up the mess, Zhan Tian immediately brought Feng Xi and King of the Netherworld to the house to settle down.

On that night, they gave a lavish feast to celebrate that the town-defending battle was a great victory. At the same time, they also brought everyone to propose toasts to Feng Xi and King of the Netherworld to express their gratitude towards them. If it were’t for them, the Iron Fence would no longer exist, so the toasts were well deserved.

It had been a long time since they had been so excited. On the night, the houses were filled with excitement, and it was even more lively than during the festival. The streets were often crowded with people, and many shops even opened, which never did so at night.

This time, many people were invited to the banquet. Apart from the people from the family, there were also some celebrities in Iron Fence. It was the biggest banquet in the history of the warlike family.

King of the Netherworld and Feng Xi were both invited to the main table. Zhan Tian, Zhan Chen and other important people from the warlike family were seated at the table. Zhan Ling shouldn’t have been sitting here, but he came over brazen-faced. The mother of the family who was spoiling him had to let him sit beside the helpless Zhan Hui, who was used as a screen to separate Zhan Ling and Feng Xi.

Zhan Hui could probably imagine how intense the scene would be after a while.

As expected, his premonition wasn’t wrong. Zhan Ling couldn’t bear seeing Feng Xi cheerful, so he frequently went to him to have a drinking competition, like what was happening now.

“Hey, do you dare to drink with me?” Zhan Ling held a pot of wine in his hand and his beautiful eyes were wide open. He stared at Feng Xi tightly, as if he would say something harsh once Feng Xi refused.

Feng Xi glanced at him and said, “So let’s drink! I’m not afraid of you!”

Zhan Ling slapped on the table and said, “Alright, but if we are going to drink, it will be boring without a wager.”

This should have been said by Feng Xi. He liked to bet with others the most. Unexpectedly, one day, he heard it from his opponent.

Feng Xi consented immediately. “Fine, what do you want to bet with?”

Zhan Ling wore a grin on his face, “If you win, you can assign me to do one thing. If you lose, let me kiss your Boss once.”

“Pfft!” Zhan Hui spat out the water that had just entered his mouth.
