The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

50. Imprisonment and Concession

Tree of the World. Others were only able to look at it with reverence.

However, this time King of the Netherworld had managed to block the moving tree in the World of Ink and lock Tree of the World forever in the World of Ink using the constraining art of the Way of Heaven.

World of Ink was where Tree of World had sprouted. However, it had been trillions of years since the Tree came back last time. After so many years, the tree itself might not have expected that it would be caught by King of the Netherworld at the one and only time when it had the idea of coming back. What was more, the thing Tree of the World feared most was being locked in the World of Ink by the Way of Heaven?

The Tree had its own consciousness. At first, it had resisted violently, but after it found that the King had no intention to hurt it, it then stopped and waited for the next move of the King. After five days, the King finally arrived at the World of Ink for the second time.

Although the Tree was born in this world, it didn't feel angry seeing the King enter its world freely because it had already felt how powerful the King was.

"Your Majesty, why do you lock me in this place?"

The voice sounded aged and remote with a sense of vicissitudes like the echo from ancient times. As the voice dispersed, the huge trunk of the Tree also trembled slightly, presenting an imposing manner and an air of grandeur.

As Feng Xi heard that, he realized that the sound was from the tree right away. Then he couldn't help but google.

The King took a step forward while putting his right hand behind his back. His tall figure was like the mountain which reached the sky, looking even more domineering than Tree of the World. As he raised his handsome face slightly, the silver gem on his forehead gave off a bright light.

He said in an indifferent but daunting tone, "I want the fruit of you."

"Alas, sure enough."

The Tree sighed gently. It had already guessed that. However, it still felt a bit surprised that a man like King of the Netherworld had expended Spiritual Energy only to get its fruit. What a waste!

The Tree was speechless.

"Your Majesty, you want my fruit because of the boy behind you, is that right? I've seen his body condition. I'm surprised that he hasn't exploded with that much Spiritual Energy in his body. However, if you only want him to get to the next grade, you don't have to block me on purpose. There are also other kinds of fruit he can eat for advancing such as the Dragon Fruit. I really don't understand why you did this."

Tree of the World was strangely talkative today because of its strong sense of curiosity.

It uttered its doubt straightly regardless of its identity.

"Since you can't understand, don't try to." Clearly, the King had no intention to answer.

"Ha ha, Your Majesty, please feed my curiosity. As long as you tell me why you can have as many fruits of mine as you want. I won't stop you." Tree of the World had been lonely for so long. So after it was finally stopped by the King, it got so excited that it started to talk a lot, seeming not like an ancient tree that had lived for trillions of years at all.

Before the King answered the Tree's question, Feng Xi already popped his head out, saying,

"There's no need to ask. My leader did that for my sake." Feng Xi said that complacently. Clearly, that was his real thought.

Seeing that Tree of the World was just like an old man, Feng Xi wasn't afraid of it anymore and interrupted the Tree and the King's conversation.

Hearing that, the Tree trembled even more fiercely. After a long while, the Tree said, "He's an interesting boy indeed. No wonder you have given a lot of care to him, Your Majesty. I understand now. The answers to the complicated questions are always simple. I shouldn't have made so many guesses. Boy, your fate is peculiar and we are destined to meet each other. Since you two are coming for my fruits and it's of no use for me to keep them, take as many as you want!"

The branches of the Tree shivered and extended to the King and Feng Xi. The Tree looked even more splendid when being observed closely.

Feng Xi had thought they might need to argue with the Tree for longer. It didn't occur to him that Tree of the World would be so generous that it had agreed to give away its fruits so easily.

"My leader?" Feng Xi asked that with a questioning look in his eyes.

"Get on it." The King nodded.

The Tree saved the King lots of work by sending the two of them straightly to the branches which were full of fruits...
