The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

15. The Power Light Ball

Translator: Ning LL

Heaven Peak Palace was the most sacred place in the Rest Night City. Therefore, no one dared to approach the palace if nothing happened.

After everyone looked at the Heaven Peak Palace with reverence as usual, they planned to leave. However, right at that moment, the ground suddenly shook without any signs.

The people who were unprepared were all frightened and looked at the Heaven Peak Palace in shock. They could feel the shake was from the palace. So the strange situation made them start to think if there was anything important happening in the palace.

No one would think that the earthquake came because the boy, also known as the little scholar Feng Xi, had broken a Power Light Ball.

The huge power made the earth shake a bit. If it were not for the solidity of the palace, it would have been ruined by the Power Light Ball already.

However, the Power Light Ball was used to support the huge magic circle and the access control. There were eight power light balls situated in eight directions.

The one Feng Xi had broken was one of the eight balls, which was situated in the southwest.

Huge amount of power started to spread in the space and filled the whole dark room right away. Meanwhile, the access control which lost the support of the Power Light Ball began to loosen. The protective covering outside the palace got thinner and thinner as if it could be poked at any moment with one finger.

The Flying Chicken which followed the boy was quite excited, absorbing the power in the dark room as much as it could.

However, the chicken’s power was too small compared with the Power Light Ball. Therefore, it was not able to absorb all the power in the dark room. Thus some of the power even overflew from the room.

However, right at this moment, with a fluctuation in the air, the overflowing power went back to the dark room as if it were forced back.

With the excited look on the Flying Chicken’s face freezing, it stopped absorbing reluctantly and prostrated itself on the ground devoutly while staring at the door of the dark room with reverence.

A pair of delicate long boots appeared at the door. The long robe of white showed the man’s elegance and nobleness. He entered the room calmly, seeming approachable but also aloof from everyone.

As the king went ahead, the flowing power started to retreat one step after another as if it had encountered its bane. At last, all of the power flinched to the Colorful Stage like a cloud of thick smoke being absorbed and transformed slowly into a new Power Light Ball. Although the new ball had lost some of its original power, the influence it had caused to the access control was actually very tiny.

“What happened?” King of the Netherworld fixed his eyes on Feng Xi.

“I have broken the ball accidentally.” Being gazed at by the king, the boy blushed slightly and raised up his hand while muttering that.

“Follow me.” A cold voice rang slowly by the boy’s ears. There was no sign of vitality in the that vacant voice as if it didn’t come from the king!

The boy rubbed his nose and followed the king right away. On their way, the boy behaved in a fit and proper way and dared not make a mess anymore.

However, he wasn’t the type of person who could keep quiet all the time. While they were still walking, he couldn’t help but talk again.

“My leader, don’t be mad at me. I really didn’t mean to do that. Why is that Light Ball so fragile anyway? I just touched it gently. It really wasn’t my fault that it was broken.”

The boy kept explaining for himself in a low voice behind the king.

Actually he should not be blamed. After all, the king had promised that the boy could go wherever he wanted.

However, afterwards the boy found that his range of activity was only limited to this magnificent and solemn palace. For a thief master who liked to run around, that truly was a torture!

Because he had already visited all the places of this palace within five days.

As a result… Except for the Demon Beast eggs on the table of worship, other precious things were all inserted into the wall or too heavy for him to lift…

What a tragedy that he could only look at them but couldn’t steal them!

“You want to go out?” King of the Netherworld didn’t look back but he had already seen through the boy. His soft voice came into the boy’s ears like a vernal breeze.

The boy scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed that his inner thought had been discovered.

“I have been in this place for quite a few days. I haven’t got a chance to view the things in the outside world.” He implied he wanted to go out.

In fact, the boy had tried many times to go out. However, every time he had run toward the outside, he would rebound from a soft layer, which made him so angry that he almost crunched his teeth.

King of the Netherworld stopped and turned around. The outline of his side face was perfect and his look was as indifferent as the cool breeze. However, there was still a sense of firmness in his black eyes that was hard to detect. He stared at the boy and said,

“You can go anywhere you want! But you must come back after an hour no matter where you are!”

“Yes, my leader!” The boy said that with his face lit up with happiness.
