The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

46. When a Secret Becomes...

Feng Xi highly doubted that his leader had known his plan of sneaking out and then sent Uncle White to catch him.

Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental that Uncle White showed up right at the moment when he ran into that weird old man? His leader must have sent Uncle White to keep watch on him, knowing that he would slip away.

God of Books who was floating in the air couldn't help but roll his eyes to Feng Xi. He knew what Feng Xi was thinking the moment he saw the look on the boy's face. Then God of Books blurted out, "Master, even if His Majesty didn't send someone to spy on you, you won't be able to escape. Moreover, His Majesty wouldn't bother to do that since Uncle White is annoying enough for you.

"Why?" Feng Xi asked that, with a very confused look in his eyes.

"There is a saying in the Human World which goes, all this territory belongs to the king. As long as you are still in the Netherworld, the King can sense your location no matter where you are. Also, the barrier out of the Palace was set up by the King himself. If you go out right now, the King will know about it at once." God of Books explained to Feng Xi patiently.

"Whee, whee, whee..." God of Bad Luck squeaked to express his concurrence.

Feng Xi got dazed for a while, and then he said, "You mean, my leader also knows that I have stolen the Demon Eggs from the Worshipping Altar?"

"Technically speaking, yes." God of Books nodded with a sophisticated look.

"Whee, whee, whee..." God of Bad Luck squeaked again since he couldn't speak for the moment.

Feng Xi felt as if he had been struck by lightning with his mouth wide open. He thought he had stolen the eggs without a trace. It turned out his leader knew about it the whole time.

"Actually, the King has also set a barrier around the Altar. When you stole the Demon Eggs, you must have already triggered the barrier. If the King didn't turn a blind eye to that, you would already be swallowed by the barrier. How do you think you can still stand here safe and sound?" After saying that, God of Books stared sympathetically at his master who was super depressed right now. A person who didn't have any privacy truly was pathetic!

God of Bad Luck planned to squeak again to agree with God of Books.

Suddenly, he felt something like an arrow shooting toward him. As he took a closer look, he found his master staring at him with a fierce look.

Feng Xi's eyes were trying to say, "Squeak again, and I'll rip out your tongue.' God of Bad Luck covered his mouth right away, though he didn't even know where his mouth was.

Feng Xi goggled and said, "I want to be the greatest thief in the world, no, in the Three Worlds!"

"Well, Master, it's not a problem that you want to be a thief master, but you still have to enhance your cultivation level. You are still in the fifth grade of the Profound Heaven realm and haven't reached the Heaven God realm. If you are caught stealing by others, you would be beaten to death."

God of Books wasn't exaggerating now. Profound Heaven realm was only a primary cultivation realm. Most cultivators looked down upon that realm since anyone with a little cleverness was able to reach that realm by cultivation. Reaching the realm above the Heaven God truly was a difficult thing.

Most of the people in the Netherworld were not keen on cultivating. After all, under the rule of King of the Netherworld, the people there seldom fought with each other. As a result, most of them remained in the Profound Heaven and Heaven God realm. The cultivators who were in the realm above the Heaven God only existed in the God and Demon Kingdom.

Perhaps God of Books hadn't had enough of discouraging Feng Xi, so he continued,

"Master, you should be more motivated. You can't let the King worry about you all the time. Think of that Hairless Chicken, when it finishes its seclusion, he will be in the fifth grade of the Saint Realm which is equivalent to the fifth grade of the God-King realm for a cultivator. That level is not very high, but also not low indeed. As for you, just look at yourself, still in the fifth grade of the Profound Heaven. How can I not call you weak!"

'Much less you have only reached the fifth grade of the Profound Heaven realm. You have abundant Spiritual Energy in your body but couldn't employ a single spiritual art at all. Even a cultivator in the first grade of the Profound Heaven realm is able to defeat you easily!'

God of Books didn't speak out the latter half, considering that those words might invite trouble to him.

Feng Xi turned around angrily, "Humph, I'll let my leader teach me!"

God of Books tittered behind Feng Xi and followed the latter right away. His safety could be guaranteed only after his master became more powerful!

Feng Xi who was in a hurry to find King of the Netherworld already forgot that he had just been caught sneaking out and he was only delivering himself to his leader's hand now. Before Feng Xi entered the Quiet Stage Palace, his voice had already come through.

"My leader! Let me tell you..."

His figure showed up in the hallway following his voice. Feng Xi, with his eyes wide open and a fawning smile on his face, looked to the inside of the Quiet Stage Palace. However, the first thing he saw was a flustered figure in blue. That was a very unfamiliar face to him...
