The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

“Boss, please take us in!” The two of them lowered their heads and knelt neatly on the ground, pleading at the same time.

Feng Xi watched the scene in a daze, then his face distorted and he looked at King of the Netherworld resentfully.

Standing by him, Ice Qilin laughed gleefully, “Now you make a fool of yourself, don’t you? Some people are absolutely ungrateful to you. If you want to be the boss by yourself, it will be impossible for you to achieve it even after a thousand years. So, you’d better go back home and be a good baby, ha ha.”

Why did Ice Qilin say that? Because the one those two knelt before was King of the Netherworld.

Hearing Ice Qilin’s words, the two people kneeling on the ground were stunned. Did they kneel before the wrong person? No, that was impossible. They had clearly seen how powerful the man dressed in a light blue robe in front of them was. Since that man could also use his spiritual power in Western Waste Land, he definitely had the strength to become a dominator. If they could be his men, they might be able to hold high office in the future. How glorious it would be by then!

The beautiful fantasy made the two of them speak loudly and neatly again, “Boss, we are willing to follow you… Ah… Ouch…” Before they could finish their sentence, a miserable scream was heard.

“You two idiots, who allowed you to call my Boss? I’m the only one who can call him ‘Boss’. Damn it! I’ll definitely squash you into the ground! Who allow you to call like that, who!” Feng Xi stepped on their heads without hesitation. After stepping on them, he even raised his foot to step on them a few more times.

“It hurts. We won’t call him anymore. Please spare us!”

The two of them screeched when he was stepping on them, but they didn’t dare to resist, so they could only keep begging for mercy. Hearing his words, how could they not understand that this young master was actually a person who was possessive of his Boss? But it didn’t matter. They thought the young master should be the confidant of this powerful man in front of them, so it would also be of the same result for them to follow Feng Xi.

“If that’s the case, then boss, please take us in!” The two of them were just fence-sitters. Knowing that the path of following King of the Netherworld could not work, they immediately turned to Feng Xi, who stepped on them. They bowed to Feng Xi before he could react.

“Ah…?” Feng Xi was shocked by it.

They were really two fence-sitters and Ice Qilin didn’t expect that they would show great discernment that they just found the key figure in an instant, which made him couldn’t help scolding them.

“We don’t need any subordinates,” King of the Netherworld glanced at the two of them from above. Before Feng Xi could say anything, he said indifferently and then he pulled Feng Xi’s hand and walked around them, not giving them time to react.

The two of them were shocked by King of the Netherworld’s gaze. When they reacted, the four of them had already walked away. They glanced at each other and hurriedly got up and chased after them. They waved and shouted, “Wait, wait for us!”

Heaven Gate Town was the nearest town to Western Waste Land.

Although the danger of the Western Waste Land was well known, many cultivators of fire element gravitated there because of the famous Current of Fire in the Degenerate God Ravine nearby. The Current of Fire could accelerate the growth of the cultivators of fire element, and their bodies would also be stronger than before after exercising in the Current of Fire. And Heaven Gate Town was the only way to Current of Fire, so the town had gradually developed.

Generally, good things like the Current of Fire, which were useful to the cultivators, would be coveted by powerful forces at the beginning.

However, Heaven Gate Town and the Current of Fire were exceptions, because they were just on the border of Ronba’s and Jemonten’s territories. If they wanted to fight for it, neither of them would give up. There had been a few bloody wars for the Current of Fire, and later, neither side of them could win, so they agreed to open the Current of Fire and no one was allowed to interfere in it!

Jemonten was afraid of Ronba’s strength, so even if he was not happy, he could only accept it. After that, Heaven Gate Town was set up. Due to the Current of Fire, Heaven gate Town had developed very quickly, and now it was one of the largest and most famous towns in the Western Waste Land.

During the day, there were a lot of people coming to and going out of Heaven Gate Town.

As King of the Netherworld and the other three just arrived at Heaven Gate Town, so many people immediately noticed them because they looked like strangers.

Heaven Gate Town was a special existence, falling outside anyone’s jurisdiction. But because of its rapid development, many people had designs on it. Even Jemonten’s people would be touched when they saw Heaven Gate Town’s bright future, so there were many people staring at Heaven Gate Town, the fertile land with evil designs. When people there saw someone unfamiliar coming to Heaven Gate Town, many of them would always wonder if these strangers were sent by some big forces.

“Boss, I think this is your first time in Heaven Gate Town. I know where the biggest inn is in the town. I’ll take you there with Black Pawn.”

Ever since they walked out of the red desert, White Pawn and Black Pawn, the two men they had saved, had been following them. And they had also been flattering them along the way. Although the two of them were a little talkative, it was also because of them that Feng Xi and the others could know a lot about the Western Waste Land, including the Current of Fire, which was mentioned by White Pawn.

White Pawn and Black Pawn were gangsters in Western Waste Land. The two of them were brothers who originally had parents, but their parents were killed by their enemies when they were young. The two brothers could only rely on each other for survival. Because their talent for cultivating was not very good, they could only barely make a living in Western Waste Land, often making money by leading the way for strangers, but it was also very risky sometimes.

Because of this reason, the two of them appeared in the red desert before. They were forced to lead the way by a group of people who looked as if they were supported by big forces. As a result, they were abandoned in the red desert. Because they were unfamiliar with the terrain of the red desert, they went accidentally into the desert, so they encountered Feng Xi and the others. But the tragedy also proved a blessing in disguise.

Although they were unfamiliar with the red desert, they were very familiar with places outside the Desert of Death.

The two brothers led Feng Xi and the others to take a shortcut. Most people might not be able to arrive at Heaven Gate Town in half a day, but the four of them actually finished the trip within an hour headed by the two brothers. And they arrived there just before the dark, which showed that the two brothers were a little useful, so the four acquiesced in their existence.

The biggest inn in Heaven Gate Town was called Flying Rondo Inn. Because the name had the word “Rondo”, someone said that the force behind it was Ronba.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, Flying Rondo Inn was really big. The sky wasn’t dark yet, but the inside of the hotel was almost packed with people who were barefooted men filled with killing intent. At a glance, one could know that they were not ordinary people. Those people all survived under the risk of death, and there were many human beings who had died in their hands.

Unlike the God and Demon Kingdom, there were very few humans who were not cultivators. Even the innkeeper and waitresses also had the cultivation level. And there were more or less signs of spiritual power on their bodies. Some waitresses were even very strong.

“That’s amazing! It deserves to be called Degenerate God Ravine!” Feng Xi peeked his head out from behind King of the Netherworld and found that everyone here looked very strong.

“Degenerate God Ravine?” White Pawn was a little stunned.

“What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong? Feng Xi noticed White Pawn’s expression.

“No. I just didn’t expect someone to say the name ‘Degenerate God Ravine’. Everyone here almost forgot the name of this world. Everyone seems to be used to treating here as the world they live in, But now, more and more people have mentioned this name, so it’s also normal.” White Pawn rubbed his head and said with embarrassment.

“Did something happen?”

“In fact, I heard others say that it is about the spatial leak. Now many people are talking about it. And it seems that we can leave Degenerate God Ravine after finding the spatial leak,” White Pawn didn’t know if it was true.

“Then, do you want to leave?” Feng Xi rolled his eyes and asked cunningly.

“Leave? Boss, you’re joking. I don’t know how many people here want to leave Degenerate God Ravine. Even if someone can really leave through the spatial leak, it won’t be up to me and Black Pawn. To be honest, both of us have been living in Degenerate God Ravine since we were young. Although we can’t say that we have feelings for Degenerate God Ravine, we are already used to the life here. We don’t know what life is outside, but I think our way of life is definitely not suitable when we live in the outside world, so we really haven’t thought of leaving here.”

Those were White Pawn’s sincere words. In addition to the fallen people, there were also some descendants of the fallen ones in Degenerate God Ravine. They could barely claim to be the natives in Degenerate God Ravine. They had been influenced by the atmosphere of Degenerate God Ravine since they were young, so it would be difficult for them to adapt to the outside world.

Feng Xi didn’t expect that White Pawn would say such emotional words when he was asked casually.

King of the Netherworld was also a little surprised. It seemed that not everyone in the Degenerate God Ravine was a hopeless case.

“Tut-tut, what a stupid remark it is. You say that you don’t want to leave? Only the weak will say  something like this. The weak are just the weak and have no ability at all, so you can only say that. You still think that you’re great, but you’re just the lowest worms in Degenerate God Ravine!”

An arrogant voice was suddenly heard, interrupting Feng Xi’s thought. It was so loud that almost everyone heard it.
