The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

62. Suffering Grievance

Translator: Ning LL

Awkward silence.

Suddenly, Feng Xi shouted “Ah”, and then jumped with his hands covering his head, saying,

“It’s over, it’s over. What can I do now? If my leader and Uncle White know about this, I’ll be doomed. You two, think of a way for me now!”

God of Books and God of Bad Luck looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Actually, they both had a hunch that an accident might happen today when Feng Xi had gone to register. Therefore, they kept in mind that they had to remind Feng Xi to register. However, what had happened was beyond their expectation and they had completely forgotten about the whole registration thing themselves.

However, there was no point regretting anyway. They had already totally offended the people of the Green Nether Union. If they went back now, they would be given a fatal blow. What was more, as the two Gods remembered the unfamiliar voice that sounded at that time, they both felt that the people who made that sound must possess a higher cultivation base than they did and might even be an expert whose cultivation level was above the fifth grade of the God King realm. Going back there now was no different from putting their heads in a noose.

As Feng Xi saw the looks on the two Gods’ faces, he knew that there was no chance they could help him with this. Then he couldn’t help but lose his spirits.

Right now the only thing on Feng Xi’s mind was how to minimize the punishment his leader was about to give him.

“Master, actually, there is a way. But it’s gonna be a bit difficult to implement.” God of Books suddenly said that.

Feng Xi’s eyes sparkled and he asked,

“What is it?”

Any solution was better than no solution. Feng Xi was willing to take the challenge as long as he didn’t need to be grounded by his leader again. What was more, he was afraid that his leader would forbid him to join that Green Hunting Group in anger. He couldn’t risk the only guarantee of his freedom.

“I or God of Bad Luck could sneak into the Green Nether Union and write your name on the application form secretly. Then the problem would be solved. As long as your name is registered, you can attend the assessment for sure. However, there is an expert in the Green Nether Union who’s more powerful than me and God of Bad Luck. I’m afraid we might be detected by him. By then the consequence will be truly severe and our situation might become worse.” God of Books, with his eyebrows knitted, said that with a serious look on his little face.

“Can we draw him away?” Feng Xi opened his eyes wide and said that, not willing to give up.

“Yes, we can. But who’s going to do that job?”

God of Books mentioned the most important issue. He was quite unfamiliar with the inside environment of the Green Nether Union, so he wouldn’t be the one. Therefore, God of Books glanced at Feng Xi and God of Bad Luck with a gloating look.

“Of course it’s Little Bad Luck!” Feng Xi uttered that without any hesitation. However, he realized something quickly and glowered at God of Books, saying, “You think it should be me?”

“Ha ha, of course not.” God of Books who had been seen through laughed awkwardly.

“Then it’s settled. Let Little Bad Luck draw that person away. I’ll come to your aid outside.” Feng Xi ignored God of Bad Luck’s right to choose and made that decision directly. Although his tone sounded very serious, the two Gods still rolled their eyes to him.

‘What a bunch of nice words! Like you’ll come to our aid for real!’ The two Gods said. However, since the boy was their master, they still had to resign themselves to their fate.

At last, the three of them decided to cooperate together. When the crowd in the hall of the Green Nether Union dispersed, God of Bad Luck sneaked into the hall secretly.

Since he needed to draw that expert’s attention, he started to make a stir the moment he came in. He sent out the Bad Luck Art in his body toward everywhere in the hall of the Green Nether Union through the surface of his body. Some of the Bad Luck Art even merged into the natural energy in the air. Any cultivator who breathed in that air would become unlucky. As for how they were going to experience the bad luck, that varied from person to person!

As a result, the Green Nether Union was in a mess in no time. The unlucky things kept happening there one after another as if there was no stop.

Someone was tumbled down, someone fell into the well, some felt a pain in their chests in their cultivation, someone went on a wrong way of cultivation, and someone was almost choked to death by water. The most absurd thing was, the experts in the God King realm fell down on the ground when they were walking. That was such a humiliation for the Green Nether Union.

One accident was not strange. However, lots of accidents happening together must result from a plot of someone.

Dark clouds hung heavily over the Green Nether Union. Everyone there was showing a sullen face. Lots of people were staring at the man with slanted eyes, wondering if the latter had passed his back luck to them. The man with slanted eyes felt quite aggrieved since he didn’t know what was happening now either.

The look on Ming Qingyu’s face was also very gloomy. There were water drops falling down from his handsome face while a man beside him kept apologizing to him. This man didn’t know why he had splashed the tea in the cup as if his hands were not controlled by him when he poured the tea. What was more, the water happened to be splashed onto his leader’s face. That almost scared that man to death. Then he explained nothing and apologized at once.

Since no one could find out why and the unlucky things were still happening, everyone could only ask the president of the Green Nether Union for help.

As they were discussing this, the man with slanted eyes couldn’t help but cower.

The president of the Green Nether Union was called Nangong Li. He was not a member of a big family but very prestigious in the Green Nether Union because he had already gained recognition from King of the Netherworld for his power. Moreover, he was the one who had called the man with slanted eyes to stop at the critical moment. However, right after that, Nangong Li didn’t show up, so everyone wasn’t sure what he was thinking now.

God of Bad Luck followed everyone to the back of the Green Nether Union instead of leaving right away.

However, when he floated in the air, he suddenly felt a strong power pushing him, which made him step a few steps back. Then God of Bad Luck knew that Nangong Li finally showed up.

God of Bad Luck didn’t give Nangong Li the time to react. After he spread bad luck to the surroundings, he turned around and escaped in no time.

“Stop!” Nangong Li cried out that in an aged voice. Clearly he was saying that to God of Bad Luck.

However, the man with slanted eyes thought that the president was talking to him and didn’t dare to move a bit. He tried very hard to restrain his impulsion to run away while standing there tremblingly.

Although Nangong Li was powerful, he was still not able to catch God of Bad Luck right away as long as the latter tried his best to flee.

However, in order to make sure Nangong Li would leave the hall of the Green Nether Union, God of Bad Luck kept a distance which was short enough to let Nangong Li feel him but also long enough for him not to be caught. Nangong Li who didn’t have a second thought chased after God of Bad Luck right away and disappeared like a wind.

What had just happened made everyone finally realize that there was someone behind all the unlucky things.

Ming Qingyu was the most sullen one among them. Considering the current situation and what had happened to the man with slanted eyes, Ming Qingyu already guessed out who had caused all of this,

‘It must be that boy. No one would dare to go against the Green Nether Union except him.’

However, even though Ming Qingyu already knew who had done this, he still couldn’t bring Feng Xi to account.

Ming Qingyu, a talented man, was always proud of himself, which was reflected in his attitude toward others. Although he was aloof and proud, he was still clever enough to know that being arrogant to others was not a smart thing. Therefore, he had always acted like an easy-going person but still kept everyone at a distance. As a result, his prestige in the Green Nether Union was only second to Nangong Li’s.

That was also why no one dared to ignore him, not to mention playing tricks on him.

Ming Qingyu wiped the water on his face with a gloomy look. Obviously he was holding back his anger now. Seeing him like this, everyone else in the Green Nether Union also felt quite depressed.

Everyone, not daring to breathe, all stared at Ming Qingyu nervously while waiting for him to talk.

“Those who didn’t get injured stay here to clean up the mess. The others, go check if there’s anyone injured somewhere else.” After Ming Qingyu said those words in a sulky voice, he stood up right away and walked out of the hall, leaving everyone else looking at each other confusedly.

Ming Qingyu’s reaction was beyond everyone’s expectation. If this had happened in the past, this leader of the Green Nether Hunting Group would definitely fly into a rage. However, today Ming Qingyu behaved quite differently. The look on his face suggested that he was simmering with rage, but he had strangely held his tongue. Some clever ones among the people there saw through that long ago but still, no one knew what was on their leader’s mind.

At this moment, someone picked the application form from the ground.

This man was a staffer who was in charge of recording every name of the participants on the form. Although this man’s memory wasn’t that great, he still remembered that the last one he registered should be a man called Yang Dingtian. However, as he glanced at the application form, he opened his eyes wide, because he saw the name ‘Feng Xi’ in the last line of the application form. However, he didn’t remember having written that name at all!

As a result, after he racked his brains and still couldn’t find an answer, he patted his head and blamed everything on his own memory loss due to what had just happened. At last, this man finally stopped thinking too much since it made no difference to him whether there was one more participant or not.

However, he didn’t notice that the place under Feng Xi’s name was completely blank with no introduction at all.

In the Heaven Peak Palace, King of the Netherworld sat in front of the crystal desk. The picture in front of him kept playing what was happening in the Green Nether Union including how Feng Xi had played tricks on others and tampered with the application form. However, when the King saw the application form in that staffer’s hand, he frowned and moved his jade-like fingers in the air randomly. After that, there were a few words of introduction appearing in the blank space under Feng Xi’s name. Then, Feng Xi’s cultivation level which was supposed to be the ninth grade of the God King realm was changed to the fifth grade of the God King realm.

As King of the Netherworld took back his hand silently, the picture disappeared right away as if nothing had happened.

Uncle White looked ahead steadily as if he hadn’t seen anything.
