The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

66. Expanding Veins

Translator: Ning LL

Could tender flesh be called muscles? Of course not.

Feng Xi was not a fool, so he understood what the King meant. Although he knew that his flesh was tender, he still got a bit disappointed hearing the King’s words. Then he said, “My leader, how can I build large muscles?”

King of the Netherworld frowned slightly.

Although he wanted Feng Xi’s body to be able to bear the explosive force of the Nine Rhyme Fists, he still didn’t want this boy to become a muscular man. However, seeing that Feng Xi was really interested in the Nine Rhyme Fists, he said, “The veins in the human body are too small to bear the explosive force of the Nine Rhyme Fists. The principle of this Art is transforming the Spiritual Energy in your body into brute energy which would be released through each punch at last. Because the brute energy is so strong, it will harm the veins which are too narrow.”

“Doing physical exercise is one way to enhance your body endurance. In this way, your damaged veins would recover very fast. However, that is not the only way. There is another method which is more difficult than exercising.”

“My leader, it has something to do with my veins, right?” Feng Xi asked that with his eyes wide open.

“Xi, you really have become cleverer.” King of the Netherworld praised the boy gently.

“Of course!” Hearing the King’s compliment, Feng Xi exposed his two canine teeth complacently with his chin up.

“The reason why the Nine Rhyme Fists would harm the cultivator’s veins is that humans veins are too narrow to be able to bear the turbulent energy. Therefore, the only way to cultivate the Nine Rhyme Fists efficiently without being harmed is doubling the width of your veins.” King of the Netherworld looked at the boy’s little face which was full of expectation and said that.

“Then…” When he heard that there was a shortcut, Feng Xi’s black eyes already sparkled.

“Expanding veins is not an easy thing to do. No one in the Three Worlds has been able to do it until now.” The next second, the King’s words disappointed Feng Xi at once.

Feng Xi only felt as if he had dropped from the clouds to the ground.

His body didn’t hurt, but he was truly distressed.

“My leader…”

Feng Xi stared at the King pathetically like a poor puppy with his eyes already turning misty.

However, the King kept silent for a long while and only gazed at Feng Xi as if he was sizing up the boy. Feng Xi pouted and approached the King, saying fawningly, “My leader, I know you must have a method to solve my problem, right? How about this, if you teach me that method, you don’t need to call me Thief Master from now on. You can call me whatever you like.”

That was the most unfair deal in history!

Anyone who didn’t lose his mind wouldn’t agree to a thing which was obviously not fair at all.

Nevertheless, the King who was totally clear-minded had already planned to expand Feng Xi’s veins. Since he didn’t want Feng Xi to become a muscular man, the only choice left for him was expanding the boy’s veins. However, the most troublesome point of this method was that it required an expert to use his own Spiritual Energy to nourish the boy’s veins for forty-nine days. What was more, if the process was interrupted, all the previous efforts would be wasted.

The ordinary experts in the God King realm mostly possessed abundant Spiritual Energy in their bodies. However, they were still unable to meet the King’s request because they could only hold on for three days, not to mention forty-nine days. Let alone that no one would be willing to put their own cultivation at stake in order to nourish another person’s veins.

That was because if the whole procedure was disturbed by others, the expert might suffer cultivation deviation at least and lose all the cultivation at most.

As a result, even if someone knew he could expand his veins with this method, he might not be able to find another person who was willing to help him. What was more, it required an expert to know a secret Art to be able to broaden others’ veins, otherwise the expert would only waste his own Spiritual Energy.

King of the Netherworld brought Feng Xi to the huge flower. Then they were both enveloped by a layer of pink film.

Feng Xi felt that his cells turning lively while his hair turning smooth. This feeling was even more comfortable than that of sleeping late! Before he could make any comment, the King said,

“It will take us forty-nine days to nourish your veins. During this period, we can not be disturbed, so let’s start right here, right now.”

Feng Xi asked right away, “But my leader, after such a long time, the assessment would already start.”

“It doesn’t matter. I’ll send Uncle White to claim the task in the assessment for you. Normally, the task would take around ten days to finish. Because time passes differently from it does in the outside world, after we stay here for forty-nine days, you’ll still have around seven days to perform the task, which should be enough for you.” Clearly, King of the Netherworld had already calculated the time.

Feng Xi blinked and instantly remembered what he did in the Green Nether Union a few days ago.

The people of the Green Nether Union must have already known that he had done those things. Therefore, if he went to claim the task by himself, they would definitely give him the cold shoulder. Feng Xi wondered if Uncle White would be treated in an unfriendly manner.

Thinking of that, Feng Xi suddenly got a bit excited and expected to see what would happen to Uncle White and the people of the Green Nether Union.

He was happy to see Uncle White being given the cold shoulder by the people of the Green Nether Union. Moreover, he also wanted to know the looks on those people’s faces when they saw the poker-faced Uncle White. The more he thought of that, the more excited he became. Unluckily, he was not able to witness that, but he could still send God of Books and God of Bad Luck over and ask them what happened there afterwards.

“My leader, let’s begin.”

As the King took a glance at the boy who was tittering, the silver gem on his forehead gave off bright light. Then he said, “All right, sit cross-legged.”

Considering the boy’s poor willpower, the King decided to play a small trick on him in case this boy would fidget.

It turned out that the King’s decision was very wise.

The moment Feng Xi sat down, he felt himself being frozen and unable to move a bit.

He blinked his eyes and stared at the King. However, the latter seemed to have no intention to explain. After that, as the King walked up behind Feng Xi with his long legs, his white robe which had been blown up by the wind touched Feng Xi’s face. Feng Xi felt the cloth as soft as usual and also smelled a fresh scent, which made him feel more refreshed than the time when he had just reached the next grade.

Due to the pleasant feeling he had right now, Feng Xi decided not to be too particular about him being frozen by his leader since he knew that the King would never harm him.

The moment the King sat down, the Spiritual Energy in the air around him started to surge. Then the immense spiritual energy in this world rushed to the barrier which had been set up by the King. The density of the Spiritual Energy was very high in the Desire Sea, thus after two hours, the area inside the barrier was filled with the Spiritual Energy which had been compressed to a purer state.

The next second, there was a miracle.

As the King drew a seal with his fingers on Feng Xi’s back, the pure Spiritual Energy flew into Feng Xi’s body through his fingers as if it was guided. After that, the Spiritual Energy started to flow in Feng Xi’s veins at a fast speed…

Anyone who saw that scene would be astonished.

No one in the Three Worlds had ever been able to use his own Spiritual Energy to guide the Spiritual Energy in the outside world. No one would believe that was possible either. After all, the Spiritual Energy in the outside world was not like the one in a human’s body, so it was extremely difficult to employ the natural Spiritual Energy as one wished and one small mistake could cause something terrible.

Feng Xi gradually closed his eyes which had been wide open. Time secretly passed while he was in a drowsy state…
