The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

310. Sheep Without a Shepherd?

Translator: 独步三月

The night air had turned chilly and a few clusters of light lit up in the corner of the Myemo Tribe. With the light, the corner looked even more gloomy.

Usually, it was noisy in the Myemo Tribe even late at night. However, because they had been tangling with people from Jintin Tribe and Tendo Tribe for a few days, everyone seemed a little more tired than usual and got back to their separate room to sleep as soon as it went dark.

Feng Xi was arranged to stay in the room next to the Twelve-Flag’s residence, which was the guest room prepared by Myemo Tribe for guests. However, there had been no guest in a few years, so it was often empty. Only occasionally, someone who was unwilling to go back to his own room would find a guest room to sleep for a night.

At night, the whole guest section was silent.

Feng Xi, who originally looked like asleep, suddenly opened his dark and big eyes, which seemed particularly bright at night. He rolled them around, sat up, used the quilt to feign the scene that he was sleeping, and then jumped off the bed. With his mouth mumbling something, he suddenly vanished.

The dark night was changed into a bright sky and a boundless Flower Sea.

This was the right that King of the Netherworld gave Feng Xi when he brought him to Degenerate God Ravine–free access to the Little World. After all, Degenerate God Ravine was different from the outside world. Many people’s cultivation level here were above Feng Xi, so if Feng Xi was no match to them, he could retreat back into the Little World.

But of course, Feng Xi didn’t come to the Litlle World to shun anyone now. He was here to find God of Books and the others.

“Master, why did you come in?” God of Books looked at Feng Xi who suddenly appeared in front of him. Luckily, his heart had been long tempered. Otherwise, Feng Xi’s sudden appearance would scare him to death.

Seeing Feng Xi, God of Bad Luck and Hairless Chicken also came over and asked assorted questions.

“Nothing. It’s just that someone bullied me and I want to fight back!” Feng Xi said casually, with his eyes looking at God of Books.

“Haha, you too have… Uh, who is so bold to bully Master?” When God of Books heard that Feng Xi was being bullied, he immediately remembered the days he had been suppressed. He couldn’t help laughing. However, when he saw Feng Xi’s threatening eyes, which seemed to be saying, “Shoot, dare you keep speaking!”, he immediately took back his smile and put on an angry expression.

“He even dares to bully Master! That person really gets a lot of guts,” Sky Breaking Beast sighed.

“I think so too,” Hairless Chicken nodded repeatedly.

“Master, don’t worry. We will definitely get revenge for you,” God of Bad Luck said in a soft tone.

“That’s right,” Azure Beast chimed in.

“Squeak…” Crystal Mouse.

“You are truly my good brothers. You guys are the best.” Feng Xi was immediately moved to tears.

“Master, it’s not easy. You finally know how good we are,” God of Books held Feng Xi’s hand with watery eyes. He had been waiting for this day for almost a year.

Feng Xi, frowning, raised his hand and knocked on the forehead of God of Books. “What do you mean that I finally know how good you are? Are you mocking me? Did I treat you badly before? Did you treat me badly before?”

God of Books touched the swelling on his head and wept silently. One shouldn’t tell the truth in these years.

“Alright, don’t quarrel anymore. Let’s hear what happened to Master first. Then we’ll figure out how to deal with that person,” Hairless Chicken came to mediate.

“Hairless Chicken makes sense,” Feng Xi nodded, and then he described everything that had happened in Myemo Tribe and with the Black Flag gang. His agitated and indignant tone fully expressed his anger towards Eshar, but it was difficult for anyone to remain calm when being cornered.

Hairless Chicken was the first to express his thoughts. “In that case, Eshar doesn’t seem to like Master, so he came up with such a tough task to obstruct Master. However, he was probably planning to kill two birds with one stone. I think Master may have fallen into his trap.”

“Why do you say so?” Feng Xi asked in confusion. He had thought that Eshar did it on purpose, but he did not figure out what was wrong.

“Hmph, it’s not ‘possibly’. It’s ‘certain’ that Eshar has indeed set a trap for Master.” God of Books snorted. He was the smartest among everyone. After hearing Feng Xi’s words, he immediately found out the other party’s intentions. People from Myemo Tribe were indeed hard to deal with.

“I am totally confused by you guys. Come on, what’s going on?” Feng Xi was anxious. Could he really be caught in the trap?

“Master, think about it. Is the palace of Myemo Tribe very big? How is it compared to the Heaven Peak Palace? Is it half the size of it, or is it almost the same? “God of Books asked.

“Oh, from the outside, it looks bigger than half of the Heaven Peak Palace,” Feng Xi didn’t understand why he asked so.

“That’s right. There are at least eight hundred servants in the Heaven Peak Palace. It will take so many people to clean the palace. As to the palace of Myemo Tribe, it needs at least three to four hundred people to do the job. Obviously, he knows that you can’t complete it, yet he still demands you to complete the whole palace’s cleaning work. Of course, he was making things difficult for you, but the fact that it was over difficult can only lead to one answer–he was plotting something else!”

“You are killing me. Come to the main point.” Feng Xi was displeased.

“I’m about to say it. Master, didn’t you just say that fifteen Black Flag brothers in Myemo Tribe still owe you two things? Think about it, now it is a very special period in Degenerate God Ravine. The relationship between Myemo Tribe and Jintin Tribe, Tendo Tribe has reached the critical point. You can’t make any mistakes at this time. Otherwise, you will lose the whole game. What’s more, Black Flag is the strongest among the twelve Myemo Tribe flags. Eshar might be afraid that you would mess with him or be bribed by the rival forces. That’s why he wants to eliminate all the potential threats.”

God of Books nodded affirmatively. To be calculating to such a degree, Eshar was indeed very impressive.

Hearing his explanation, Feng Xi immediately understood, “You mean that he deliberately proposed something that I can’t complete. Actually, he has assumed that I would ask Nangong Yang and the others to help. In this way, Nangong Yang and the rest will be able to get even as to the two things that they owe me?”

“That’s right, Eshar is probably a strategist in Myemo Tribe, so he naturally has to play bad guy.” God of Books waved his hand. It was so easy to figure it out and only idiots would not understand.

“Nerd, do you think Nangong Yang and the rest knew his plan too?” Feng Xi had a better impression of Nangong Yang and the rest.

God of Books saw his expression and knew what he was thinking. “Master, in fact, no matter if they know it or not, they have no position to refute. Do you know why?”

“Forget it, but that Eshar can’t get away with it.” Feng Xi thought about it and felt that it made sense. Even if Nangong Yang and the rest knew about it, they could only obey.

“Yes, the ones who dare to set up Master must not have an easy time.” Hairless Chicken nodded affirmatively.

“I wonder how you guys plan to give him a hard time?” God of Books’s expression was subtle, but no one else saw it.

“Beat him?” Sky Breaking Beast.

“Roast him?” Hairless Chicken.

“Make him suffer for the rest of his life?” God of Bad Luck.

“Shall I eat him?” Azure Beast.

“Squeak…?” Crystal Mouse.

“Uh, drug him?” Feng Xi said.

The corner of God of Books’s mouth twitched. Only the sheep without a shepherd would have such ideas. Even Master was like this. Was there anyone with a little depth? However, he felt it necessary to ask Master a question.

“Master, actually I have a question. Why do you have to live in Myemo Tribe? In fact, it is the same for you to live in Flower Sea. Flower Sea is a part of the Little World of His Majesty. As soon as you come in, His Majesty will immediately know. Even if Ice Qilin and the rest can’t find you, it is fine as long as His Majesty knows where you are, so you don’t have to live in Myemo Tribe.

“…” Feng Xi thought he was right.

“I bet that Master must have forgotten it,” God of Bad Luck said softly.

“I also bet so, since he hit the nail on the head.” Sky Breaking Beast and Hairless Chicken immediately chimed in.

“Then we too,” Azure Beast said on behalf of Crystal Mouse and himself.

“No one will treat you as dummies if you don’t talk.” as Feng Xi came to his senses, the first thing he did was to toss at them a few blades.

“Alright, it’s already meaningless to pursue this matter at this time. The most important thing now is to find a way to clean up the palace and leave Eshar speechless. However, this is a bit difficult. After all, we only have seven people, plus fifteen brothers of the Black Flag, we only have twenty-three ones.” This was not the first time Master had a muddled mind. God of Books was used to it.

“This is very simple. Didn’t Little Glaze swallow a lot of souls? There are hundreds of them at least. Let him summon those souls, and then assign them work. I’ve already thought about it, but this has to be done at night, so I waited till night to come find you.

Feng Xi had seen Azure Beast summon the Black Souls before. He felt that this method was feasible, so he dared to agree to Eshar’s condition.

“By the way, Little Glaze has so many souls, and they only obey Little Glaze, so let’s do this. However, since there is such a good idea, if you don’t use it properly, then you really fail yourself. Everyone, I’ve already thought of a way to teach Eshar a lesson,” God of Books rubbed his chin and laughed gloomily.

Feng Xi spent a long time in the Little World to discuss with God of Books and the rest. However, it was only a little while in Degenerate God Ravine. When he came out, less than a quarter of an hour had passed.
