The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

71. Suffering the Beatings

Translator: Ning LL

“Huh, man, what are you planning now?”

Seeing the complacent expression on the boy’s face, the Sky Breaking Beast didn’t want to act as the boy wished and only humphed heavily.

This beast hadn’t forgot about the pains it had suffered over the past few days. Therefore, it had to be cautious right now, no matter how much it wanted the fruit in the boy’s hand.

“As long as you are willing to yield to me, I’ll give you this fruit.” Feng Xi spoke out his purpose directly.

“Only in your dream! I’ll never surrender to a petty man like you! Huh, you think I’m stupid enough to be bought off by a fruit?” The Sky Breaking Beast exhaled violently through its nose and looked at the boy disdainfully. However, it seemed that this beast was only hiding its real thought with its eyeballs moving constantly.

Hearing that the beast had rejected his proposal without any hesitation, Feng Xi wanted to say some harsh words but was stopped by God of Books.

“Wait, master. Hearing its tone, I think there is still room for discussion. Perhaps it thinks that one fruit is not enough. So the beast only wants more fruits.” God of Books whispered to Feng Xi about his discovery with his teeth gritted.

He had already found out about that beast’s intention. It must have discovered how valuable the fruit was, so it wanted to seize this chance to get more. In the meantime, God of Books also admired the beast for being able to find the preciousness of the fruit with a simple glance. Perhaps the beast guessed out Feng Xi’s special identity long ago when it saw a Demon Beast in the Saint realm around him, and that was why the Sky Breaking Beast uttered those words.

“What? One fruit is already a lot.” Feng Xi treasured his fruits a lot. Hearing God of Books’s explanation, he cried out right away.

His buddies all got speechless.

The Fruits of the World were already piled up like a hill in Feng Xi’s wooden ring. Even if he took in one fruit every day, it would take him a great many years to eat up all the fruits. Now that God of Books had proposed to take a few more fruits to lure the Sky Breaking Beast, Feng Xi behaved as if the little God had asked him to cut a piece of flesh of him. What was more, Feng Xi’s words seemed to suggest that one fruit was already a lot for that beast. The two Gods and the chicken couldn’t help doubting whether their master would divide a fruit into a few pieces if possible.

The body of the Sky Breaking Beast trembled. After it heard the boy’s words, it really assumed that the boy didn’t have too many fruits. Then there was a hesitant look on its face.

The Sky Breaking Beast could feel great spiritual energy inside the fruit on the boy’s hand. As long as it could take in that energy, it would definitely make a breakthrough and reach the Saint realm.

That was such a temptation to the Sky Breaking Beast.

It had stayed in the highest grade in the current realm for too many years. If it still couldn’t reach the next realm, its cultivation would definitely be influenced and it might never become a Mythical Beast. That was because staying in the same realm for too long was a heavy blow to any cultivator’s mental state, which made it harder for that cultivator to reach the next realm.

Thinking of that consequence, the Sky Breaking Beast became more hesitant.

However, if it yielded to this petty boy, it would lose its freedom and have to stay with the boy forever. For a beast which had a wild nature, it really was hard to make the decision because no matter which way it chose, it would always have something to regret in the future.

“Big monster, do you want it or not? If you don’t want it, I’ll take it back then.” Seeing the beast giving no reply for a long time, Feng Xi then urged it to make a decision.

The Sky Breaking Beast let out a bellow of rage with the look on its face turning more impatient. Meanwhile, the wind around its body also started to blow violently and even started to give out sparks of the collision. One could even see how the wind was moving with bare eyes.

Seeing that, God of Books stopped being invisible and showed his golden figure right away, saying,

“Sky Breaking Beast, you must have already known how special my master’s identity is. I promise you that you wouldn’t suffer any loss once you decide to follow my master. You might even feel lucky that you have made a wise choice to follow my master. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Hairless Chicken. It was just a Demon Beast in the first grade of your current realm before, now did you see which realm it has reached! Besides the Four Mythical Beasts, there are only a few Demon Beasts in the Saint Realm in the Three Worlds. Believe me or not.”

The Sky Breaking Beast squinted its eyes. As it saw the golden figure in front of it, it understood right away that the little God was the one who had set it up several times. Still, the beast was stunned by the size of God of Books.

However, this time the Sky Breaking Beast had guessed it wrong. God of Books hadn’t done anything to set the beast up since he was not that powerful. Actually, the Sky Breaking Beast had suffered those beatings only because of the tricks of God of Bad Luck. After all, no matter how powerful the Sky Breaking Beast was, it would still get unlucky when it touched God of Bad Luck who could employ the Bad Luck Art freely.

In the meantime, the beast also agreed to what God of Books had said, which was that the boy’s identity must be special.

Not only did the boy have a Demon Beast in the Saint realm, he had also taken out a Fruit of the World which everyone in the Three Worlds wanted. After all, something like that could not be obtained easily. According to what the beast had known, all the Gods and Demons were crazy about the Tree of the World that couldn’t be found easily.

Once upon a time, the Sky Breaking Beast had also dreamed of becoming a Demon Beast in the Saint realm by eating a Fruit of the World.

However, that was merely its daydream. So now when a real Fruit of the World was placed in front of it, the beast couldn’t believe it was real. Part of the reason why it didn’t accept Feng Xi’s proposal now was also that it was afraid that what was happening now was not real. It didn’t want to get disappointed again, because staying in the same realm really was torturing.

However, no matter how hesitant it was, it still had to make a choice.

“Man, I agree with you. If you dare to lie to me, I’ll kill you right away even if I have to die with you.”

Seeing that the big monster finally agreed, Feng Xi showed a smile on his face. As for the beast’s threat, he didn’t mind it at all.

“This fruit belongs to you from now on. You have to take us away from here.” Feng Xi got excited and threw the fruit to the Sky Breaking Beast.

God of Books didn’t even have the time to stop Feng Xi. Then as he saw the cheerful look on the beast’s face, he got speechless again.

He couldn’t believe his master whom he had just praised did a foolish thing by giving the beast the fruit before signing a contract with it. If the beast went back on its word, Feng Xi would only waste a fruit!

Feng Xi who came back to his senses from his excitement saw the sullen looks on his buddies’ faces. Then he asked wonderingly, “What happened to the three of you?”

“Master, you should at least wait until the Sky Breaking Beast signs a contract with you before giving it the fruit. What if it regrets following you?”

At last, God of Books said to his hopeless master with a painful look.

“Eh, I was so excited that I forgot about that.” Feng Xi touched his head, feeling a bit bashful.

“I really shouldn’t have praised you.” God of Books muttered that.

“Huh! Only a narrow-minded person like you would think like that. I’ll never go back on my word, unlike someone who only does sinister things.” The Sky Breaking Beast humphed sullenly. Clearly it had heard the conversation between Feng Xi and God of Books, so it sneered at the latter to suggest that what God of Books had done was very dirty. However, the beast seemed to have already regarded itself as one member of Feng Xi’s team because when it looked at Feng Xi, the look on its face was already not unfriendly.

God of Books said with the look on his face changing right away, “You are narrow-minded. All your families are like that.”

“Better than you.” The Sky Breaking Beast said that with its chest out, making itself quite clear.

God of Books flew into a rage immediately with his face turning red.

Seeing those two arguing with each other, Feng Xi said to Hairless Chicken joyfully, “Hairless Chicken, how close they are!”

Hairless Chicken couldn’t help but roll its eyes. It didn’t know how Feng Xi had found those two being in a close relationship. Also, Hairless Chicken had already pictured its miserable future. It had a master who was sometimes intelligent and sometimes stupid as well as a group of buddies who liked to squabble with each other from time to time. What a tragic life!

At last, although the Sky Breaking Beast still wasn’t capable of sending them to the Green Nether Union straightly, it still helped Feng Xi submit the Wind Fog Grass before sunset after tearing a few spaces.

The staffer of the Green Nether Union who had been intimidated by Uncle White’s behavior didn’t dare to neglect Feng Xi anymore. After he had helped Feng Xi register, he watched Feng Xi leaving with a respectful look in his eyes.

Seeing that, the Sky Breaking Beast was ever more curious about its master’s identity since it had only been Feng Xi’s beast for a short period of time. Although it had already signed a contract with Feng Xi, God of Books implied that if the Sky Breaking Beast was not able to gain the recognition of the powerful person backing Feng Xi up, it was very likely that this beast would be kicked out of Feng Xi’s team.

At first, the Sky Breaking Beast didn’t believe the words of God of Books. However, after witnessing Feng Xi walking into the sacred Rest Night City without any restriction and the members of the Green Nether Union who were very famous even in the Wetlands treating Feng Xi reverently, the beast couldn’t help but get a bit flurried.

Actually, the Sky Breaking Beast had already found that its young master was a very kind-hearted person on the way. It was very nice to have a master who didn’t put on airs all the time. Therefore, this beast had already regarded Feng Xi as its master and was not willing to go back to the Wetlands. As a result, it now started to worry that it would be abandoned by Feng Xi.

Feng Xi who had a new buddy was extremely happy the whole time.

When he saw the Heaven Peak Palace, he pulled the fur of the Sky Breaking Beast and pointed to the Palace complacently, saying,

“Hey, sky buddy, that’s where we live! Does it look awesome and cool?”

However, as Feng Xi turned around, he found the Sky Breaking Beast already turning stiff!
