The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

345. The Unique Wedding (2)

Translator: 飞弹

Although the Netherworld was smaller than the God and Demon Kingdom, the vastness of it was not to be sniffed at either.

Outside the Rest Night City, there were still endless big and small cities, which were large in area. The Desperate Great Plain where Feng Xi once had been to was to the west of the Rest Night City, but the distance between the two places was very long. It also took Feng Xi and Sky Breaking Beast more than an hour to come back.

The right of the Desperate Great Plain was the well-known Sunset Forest where there were not many Demon Beasts or dangers. However, the forest was famous not because of Demon Beasts, but the plants in it. The plants in the forest were all strange and dangerous, such as man-eating flowers and Serpentine Evil Vines. They were common in the forest. If one was not careful when he was in the forest, he may die at any time.

At this time, in the uninhabited forest, a young boy kept on butting a tree and mumbling.

“Oh, why am I so stupid?”

“Oh, why would I be trapped by them?”

“Oh goodness, how should I leave here?”

“Oh my god, I won’t be fun-loving anymore.”

……

The young boy was Feng Xi. He was still in the hall a moment ago. The next moment, he appeared in the Sunset Forest.

Why would things go so far? Feng Xi wanted to squeeze himself into the ground when he thought about this.

There were several Transmission Rituals in the Heaven Peak Palace, one of which would teleport people to somewhere randomly, which meant the destination was not fixed. It would teleport one to anywhere within the Netherworld, and no one knew where he would be teleported. And it was just an uncertain Transmission Ritual.

The Transmission Ritual was in a very remote place in the hall. Because people usually didn’t need to use it, it was sealed a long time ago. It hadn’t been turned on until now. Feng Xi didn’t know about this. As a result, he was deceived by Hua Qing and Hua Hua.

“Yuan Xi, hurry up.”

Hua Qing smiled at Feng Xi very ‘kindly’, and then pushed him towards a round stone platform in front of him. Because no one came to clean it all year round, it was covered with a thick layer of dust, and only some red lines drawn on the round platform were discernible.

There was a reason why Feng Xi didn’t doubt it. In fact, he also wanted to see what Hua Qing and Hua Hua wanted to do.

However, looking at the round stone platform under his feet, he felt as if he had seen the vague pattern somewhere. Feng Xi thought for a moment and used the soles of his feet to dust it until a small part of the pattern was revealed.  Then Feng Xi instantly widened his eyes. ‘Isn’t it the Transmission Ritual?’ Just as the thought flashed through his mind, the Transmission Ritual under his feet suddenly glittered brightly. Feng Xi suddenly raised his head, only to see that Hua Qing and Hua Hua were waving at him.

“Ha ha, let’s see how you will seduce King of the Netherworld. Goodbye!”

Feng Xi felt like weeping but had no tears. After the white light flashed in front of him, he was already in the Sunset Forest when he reacted.

The Sunset Forest was to the right of the Desperate Great Plain. He had known it before, so he still knew where he was. However, the Sunset Forest was very far away from the palace. At that time, it took him more than one hour to go from the Wetlands to the palace even if he used the ability of Sky Breaking Beast. Now, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t arrive there before tomorrow’s wedding!

Feng Xi had already let go of God of Books, Sky Breaking Beast and the others when they were in God and Demon Kingdom. After that, he, Ming Qingyu and the others went to the Void Space and God of Books and the others didn’t catch up with them. Later, Feng Xi and his friends went back to the Netherworld first. This time, Feng Xi had just come back for less than half an hour, so he didn’t have time to meet them at all. As a result, he met Hua Qing on his way to look for God of Books and the others.

Feng Xi originally wanted to see if Hua Qing would recognize him, so he deliberately told her his original name.

He didn’t expect that a single trick would lead to the current result. Hua Qing and Hua Hua actually would treat him as a person who went to seduce the boss, and they even used the Transmission Ritual to drive him away. That was really a bum action. How could he never know that there would be a Transmission Ritual in that corner?!

Feng Xi, who was very helpless, had no choice but to kept on butting the tree trunk. He really hoped that this was a dream.

Unfortunately, when his forehead turned red, he was still in the Sunset Forest, so he had to accept the fact that he was tricked by Hua Qing and Hua Hua. Alright, although he was also wrong, why did they have to do like this? The Sunset Forest was too remote. At least he should have been teleported to a place a bit closer.

It could only be said that Feng Xi was too lucky!

Anyway, he could only go back step by step. As for whether he could arrive tomorrow, it could only be up to God.

Feng Xi sighed and turned around. To be honest, he had never been to the Sunset Forest, so it would be troublesome to go out because he had a terrible sense of direction. At this moment, he felt like something was walking past him. When he raised his head, he saw a strange tree stopping in the center of the path.

Feng Xi recalled that he hadn’t seen a tree there just now, right?

When Feng Xi walked over, he found that the tree was not very similar to the surrounding trees. It was short and thick, and only two branches that looked like strong arms grew from the main trunk. The leaves on top of the tree looked like mushroom’s pileus. On top of the tree were dozens of pieces of red fruit, which was similar in size to two fists, looking plump and juicy.

The suspicious Feng Xi stood on tiptoe to pick up a piece of red fruit and smelled it for a moment. He smelled nothing special and therefore threw it.

Just as he threw the red fruit away, the tree in front of him clearly shook. The leaves rustled because of its shaking. Although the sound only lasted for an instant, Feng Xi still heard it.

Feng Xi walked around, and as a result, he saw a face on the trunk!

After he found out, the tree wasn’t flustered, but smile at him. The grin was a little ugly, which reminded Feng Xi of the smile of a middle-aged woman. It was clearly an Aunt Tree!

Feng Xi, who had already gotten back his previous memories, thought about it and immediately knew what the tree was.

The so-called Aunt Tree was an old hen, so it was also called the Old Hen Tree. The Old Hen Tree was a xenogeneic specie. Unlike ordinary trees which could only put down roots on the ground, it could move anywhere it wanted to put down roots as if it was given a soul. It was basically harmless as long as others didn’t provoke it, but it was very sensitive about the red fruit on top of it.

The red fruit seemed to be vibrant and plump, but in reality, it tasted even more terrible than unripe fruit. It was sour, bitter and spicy. With the three flavors, basically no one could bear it. Therefore, the moment the Old Hen Tree saw a person, it would force the other party to swallow it. If he didn’t eat it, it would be angry and kill him.

However, it was still willing to give the other party another chance. This was the kindness of the Old Hen Tree.

Feng Xi just threw a piece of fruit of it but it was not angry. It could give him another chance, so when it saw Feng Xi, it immediately smiled and handed another piece of fruit to Feng Xi again. At the same time, it said, “Please have a taste of my fruit, okay?”

“Why?” Feng Xi raised questioning eyebrows.

The Old Hen Tree immediately showed a shocked expression and then it moped, “Your question is really good. Although I look like this, actually, I’m very kind. My biggest dream is to let everyone eat a piece of fruit that grows on my head, but why is there no one willing to eat such a piece of good-looking fruit? I am very sad, so I hope that you will fulfill my dream and I will forever be grateful to you. Therefore, please have a try, right?”

The Old Hen Tree obviously didn’t know that there was another saying in this world called, “All is not gold that glitters.”

“No!” Feng Xi rejected without hesitation. He had a lot of spiritual fruit in his ring, so it was impossible for him to eat such an unpalatable thing.

“What did you say?” The Old Hen Tree revealed a shocked expression again, “How can you refuse my only request in my life? Don’t you know how respectful I am to make a request? I’ll say it again, eat it for me.”

At the end of the sentence, its expression had become hideously diabolic. This was no longer a request but a threat.

Feng Xi immediately gave it a punch and scolded, “Damn it, you sad old woman. If you waste my time again, you would get a thrashing.”

The Old Hen Tree immediately caved in and fell prostrate, “Hero, please spare my life!” The Old Hen Tree had another characteristic feature, that is, she would bully the weak while fear the strong.

“You, take me out of the forest immediately,” Feng Xi snorted. ‘Since you take the initiative in encountering me, it just saves myself the bother of looking for someone else to lead the way.’

“Yes, sir!” The Old Hen Tree didn’t dare resist.

“Since you’re an Old Hen Tree, use the language of your trees.”

Then the Old Hen Tree said something that he couldn’t understand.

The corner of Feng Xi’s mouth twitched and he couldn’t help but give it another kick.

After a few good lessons, the Old Hen Tree finally became honest. It honestly took Feng Xi out of the Sunset Forest. Fortunately, he was only teleported to the edge of the Sunset Forest. If it was in the center of the forest, it would not have been the Old Hen Tree waiting for him, but all kinds of strange plants. However, even if they were on the edge of the forest, it still took them half a day to leave the Sunset Forest.

The Old Hen Tree waved at him behind him, “Sir, welcome to the Sunset Forest again!”

Feng Xi almost fell and bit the dust. He suppressed his desire to rush over and beat it up again. He quickly left the Sunset Forest and flew to the nearest town.

By the time, it was already after nightfall.
