The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

280. Second Personality

Translator: 独步三月

Feng Xi didn’t expect to hear such an explosive topic not long after he came back.

So after he bounced the Seven-coloured Turtle out, the latter once again threw a tantrum. First, he put on a fierce expression and glared at Feng Xi, then withdrew his head and limbs into the turtle shell once again and refused to come out, but at this time, Feng Xi paid no more attention to it.

“Sis Hua Shi, what do you mean by saying ‘second personality’ and ‘running away’?” Feng Xi asked with a stunned expression.

“Young Master should know about Lord Feng Ling’s past, right?” Hua Shi asked.

“I know. Feng Ling used to be quite rich, but later on, his familiy seemed to have undergone some tremendous misfortune. He slept on the streets overnight and was even abandoned by his fiancee. The people around him also bullied him and he lived quite a miserable life.” This was roughly what Feng Ling had told him before.

“You only know part of the story. Actually, something worse had happened to Lord Feng Ling, which he did not tell you.” Hua Shi stretched out her finger and shook it. It was dug out by the four sisters later on and even Lord Bai Huang and Lord Feng Ling had never mentioned it.

“Oh? What was it?” Feng Xi didn’t expect that something was kept from him, so he immediately asked.

“In the first year after the Lord Feng Ling’s family declined, he was betrayed by his friend and ended up in the hands of the merchants who did the human trafficking jobs. Then, those merchants sold him to a rich family to be a servant, which was not too bad. However, he never imagined that the master of the family turned out to be a pervert, who maltreated Feng Ling whenever he got a chance. In less than a month, Feng Ling was so badly beaten up that he couldn’t stand it any longer and tried to escape. But he was caught and sold to an illegal cellar where he suffered more. Fortunately, after eight months, someone, being unable to bear it, started a riot. Though it was finally suppressed, Feng Ling took the chance to get out. What happened afterwards was known by you.”

As if she was telling a story, Hua Shi finished her account at a stretch.

“It didn’t occur to me that Little Ling led such a miserable life in the past. But what does this have to do with the second personality?”

“You haven’t figured it out. The so-called ‘second personality’ is a kind of psychological impediment caused by long-term depression and sudden stimulation. It is a hysterical dissociative psychological disorder. In the case of Lord Feng Ling, it can be called double personality. The first personality is weak, then the second personality must be dominant and unruly. This type of personality is very likely to have shown up as Feng Ling wanted to protect himself.”

“You mean that the reason why Feng Ling has double personality is because Uncle White took him to the Infernal Realm, which aroused him of the painful memories. So, the weak him shifted to a second persona, and then it temporarily replaced him?”

This was too incredible, but what a blessing it would be if he also had another personality! This way, he could let the second persona to practice in his place.

“You guessed right, that’s it!”

“Isn’t it good?” When he heard what Hua Shi said, Feng Xi really didn’t think that there was anything wrong with double personality. Just like what Hua Shi just said, if the first persona was too weak and couldn’t deal with some things, one might as well let off the second one, which would make things much easier.

The four girls couldn’t help but twitch the corners of their mouths.

“Little Master, it is indeed as you said that perhaps double personality has its benefits, but picture the scene: while you are talking to someone, his expression suddenly changes. For example, the good-humored face of Lord Feng Ling suddenly turns chilly. Wouldn’t that make you feel weird?”

Feng Xi tried to imagine the scene of him talking to Little Ling, who suddenly wore a gloomy look and stared at him in a sinister way, which gave him a shudder. It was indeed creepy.

“That makes sense. If that’s the case, what’s going on with Uncle White and Little Ling?”

“To be honest, we as maids are also shocked as we found out about it. It is said that Lord Feng Ling’s second personality is very powerful and very smart. Even Lord Bai Huang was tricked by him.”

“Ah…? What on earth was going on?

“In other words, even Lord Bai Huang didn’t notice his personality mutation. It wasn’t until more and more ghost guards were attacked that Lord Bai Huang discovered that Lord Feng Ling had become strange. Just as Lord Bai Huang found it suspicious, Lord Feng Ling, who was taken over by the second persona, injured some ghost guards and left the Ghost World. Even Lord Bai Huang didn’t know where he fled.”

“I remember that Little Ling’s cultivation level is very low. How can he defeat so many ghost guards?”

“This is what I am going to say. After the splitting of personality, Lord Feng Ling turns out to be a cultivating genius, who has leaped from three stars of Heaven God to one star of Exalt God in a short time, which was an abnormally fast leap. Although Bai Huang had questioned about his speed of cultivation, as the second persona’s Feng Ling had always pretended to be the orginal Feng Ling, he was deceived.”

“Are you serious?” Feng Xi jumped up.

“Exactly, Lord Feng Ling is too cunning. He even…” The four girls couldn’t help but feel indignant.

“I’ve been cultivating for so long time before I got to the five stars of Exalt God. How could he leap to one star of Exalt God? In a while, he would definitely surpass me.”

“That… ah?” It turned out that they weren’t referring to the same thing.

“No, I can’t allow that to go on. I have to practice more intensively. Otherwise, I’ll be caught up with by Little Ling.” Feng Xi picked up the grumpy Seven-coloured Turtle lying on the ground and ran into the Quiet Stage Palace firmly. He wanted to tell Boss to send him to Flower Sea to practice.

The four maids couldn’t help but look at each other speechlessly. They didn’t expect things to develop like this at all. In fact, their intention was to arouse the interest of the little Master, and then let him dig up more gossip, so that they could learn the future story of Lord Bai Huang and Lord Feng Ling.

Women were born to gossip and the four of them were no exception.

Even though the result was different from what they had imagined, it stimulated the little Master to exert serious efforts on cultivation, which was a feat. They believed that King of the Netherworld would not blame them for revealing this.

King of the Netherworld, who was busy, suddenly heard Feng Xi volunteer to go to Flower Sea to practice. He couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows in surprise. Did the sun rise from the west? “How come you suddenly want to go to Flower Sea to practice? Wouldn’t Xiao Xi usually run away when hearing the word ‘cultivation’? Why do you get so motivated?”

“I heard that Little Ling has become very powerful. I have to practice hard or I will be surpassed by him. As his boss, if I am overtaken by him, it would be face-losing.”  Feng Xi’s expression showed his determination.

“Looks like you already know about Bai Huang’s matter,” King of the Netherworld couldn’t help but smile. He didn’t expect that Feng Ling’s matter would stimulate his sweetheart.

“Boss has found out about it already?” Feng Xi asked in surprise.

“I received news from Wolf Fang long ago in the the South Region Forest.”

“It turned out that it has happened for a few days. Then why didn’t you say it then? If I had known it, I would’ve come back early.”

“Bai Huang will handle this matter himself. Even if Xiao Xi wants to help, you can do nothing. Now Feng Ling is no longer the same person that he used to be. He won’t recognize you as his master. What you should think about now is how to improve your cultivation level. Otherwise, you might be overtaken in a month or two,” The reason that King of the Netherworld didn’t tell him was knowing that he couldn’t be of help. Now that he was willing to go to Flower Sea to practice, he didn’t have to worry about Feng Xi sneaking out.

“Don’t worry, Boss. I still have the fire root to cultivate. I will increase my firepower now to fasten the process.”

“Mmm, go!” Seeing how motivated he was, King of the Netherworld couldn’t be more glad.

After that, Feng Xi really stayed in the Ghost World to practice. Although it lasted for only three days, which meant thirty days in the Flower Sea. The fact that he could last for thirty days was also a breakthrough for Feng Xi.

At this time, Wolf Fang, the master of Ghost World, was looking at his group of howling subordinates. After the betrayal accident previously, it took him a while to rectify it. However, it happened again internally, plus the fact that he couldn’t deal with that person, so Wolf Fang’s only hope now was that they wouldn’t come again as Ghost World couldn’t afford it.

However, Feng Ling was able to leave the Ghost World intact after injuring so many ghost guards.

Wolf Fang didn’t expect that Bai Huang would have such a dangerous and powerful lover, whose mood changed faster than the weather. Most importantly, his cultivation level grew too fast, and such an abnormal speed might carry side effects.

Wolf Fang thought about it in anguish and found that he was a little gloating about turning his Infernal Realm into a mess like that. He really hoped that they would not come again, otherwise Ghost World would experience another turmoil.
