The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

17. The Dispute

Translator: Ning LL

The Demon Beasts were also good at fighting.

Not only were they able to assist their masters with the attack, they could also help their masters to escape.

However, due to a great calamity thousands of years ago, there were not so many Demon Beasts in the Three Worlds.

The only remaining Demon Beasts were mostly in low level. Only one of the high-level Demon Beasts would show up in a thousand years.

Nearly all the high-level Demon Beasts had gone missing due to the calamity. Another reason for today’s situation was that the Spiritual Atmosphere in the Three Worlds was not suitable for the Demon Beasts to be cultivated. As a result, the Demon Beasts grew very slowly at present. Some of the high-level Demon Beasts were even in danger of being degraded.

So most of the the high-level Demon Beasts needed to eat magic drugs in order to stay in their level or make progress in their cultivation.

The other way to improve themselves was finding a perfect site for cultivation.

However, those harsh terms didn’t stop everyone’s enthusiasm about raising a Demon Beast.

Therefore, the Demon Beast Store was the largest store in the Rest Night City. It was nearly three times as big as other normal stores. The door with carving patterned and jade inlaid was quite attractive. A great variety of Demon Beasts were placed neatly on the shelf, easy for the customs to see.

At this moment, there were lots of men and women crowding in the store and picking the Demon Beasts they liked.

The storekeeper who were standing by the counter already saw the boy. The storekeeper thought the boy was a poor kid at first because he had seen no servants by the boy’s side. However, when he saw the expensive clothes the boy was wearing, the disdainful look on his face changed to a flattering smile.

“Young Master, may I help you?”

Seeing the storekeeper finally responding to him, the boy called the Flying Chicken to follow him and entered the store right away.

As a result…

After the storekeeper had seen the hairless Flying Chicken behind the boy, the smile on his face was frozen immediately. Also, the corner of his mouth twitched.

“Hairless Flying Chicken?”

Yes, hairless Flying Chicken indeed.

As a matter of fact, the boy didn’t know why the Flying Chicken only had a few hairs which seemed about to fall off at any time from its body. With its bald head, the Flying Chicken was worthy of the name ‘Hairless Flying Chicken!’.

The reason why he had been reluctant to accept the chicken was the ugliness of the hairless chicken. At last, the King said that the Flying Chicken’s hairless condition was only temporary. After it made breakthroughs and became a Sacred Beast, it would have beautiful feathers.

Since there was a chance that the hairless Flying Chicken would have beautiful feathers, the boy finally decided to raise the chicken reluctantly.

Although he had already accepted the Flying Chicken, he was not willing to hear anyone else calling his chicken hairless. That was a heavy blow to his dignity.

Never could he expect that someone would mock at his hairless Flying Chicken the first time he went out. If he wasn’t thinking of selling his egg to the storekeeper, the boy would fall out with the latter right away. Now he was only trying to restrain his anger!

The boy pretended not to hear the storekeeper’s words. As he was about to state what he had come for, there was laughter coming through from the inside.

“Haha… Everybody check this… A hairless chicken…”

“It’s so ugly! Why is there such an ugly Demon Beast?”

“Eh, it’s so disgusting. So unfortunate! Why should I see such a disgusting thing early in the morning?”

…

Those words kept reaching the boy’s ears. Now he couldn’t pretend not to hear anymore.

So what was so wrong with him having a hairless chicken? He had a very powerful hairless chicken! Not only was this chicken able to run, it could also spew fire, unlike those Demon Beasts who were pleasant to the eyes but of no use! That was something truly disgusting!

The boy who had despised the appearance of his chicken shifted his ground instantly and started to defend his chicken’s dignity. He hated those ones who mocked at his chicken’s appearance even though his chicken did have an awful look.

After two young childes who dawdled around every day had seen the indignant look on the boy’s face, they looked at each other and walked over. Then they stared at the boy and said provocatively, “What? You don’t like us calling your Demon Beast a hairless chicken?”

The boy showed the two men the middle finger and stuck his tongue out at them while cursing, “You two ugly monsters!”

The two men went rigid at once. One of them flew into a rage and said, “You imp, have you got tired of living? How dare you curse us?”

“Oh my, I’m so scared. Damn you! I have cursed you, so what? I also want to beat you!” The boy opened his eyes wide and put on an angry face, not giving any impression of weakness. He never thought of the identities of the two men or the consequences of offending them.

“You… How dare you! You inferior people! How dare you be so rude to our nether people? If you don’t apologize to us today, you’ll be in serious trouble today!” The man’s face was completely red due to his anger. It was the first time he had been cursed like that.

The reason why the man had assumed that the boy was from an inferior race was that the pure nether people only had silver hair. As for the hybrids who were also called half nether people, the color of their hair was darker. The ones whose hair was completely black had no blood relationship with the nether people. Only the people of the most inferior race would have black hair! That was the human race!

The boy had black eyes and hair. Therefore, the nether people assumed him to be from the most inferior race. Not only did the boy have no right to talk to the nether people, he even had to lower his head when he encountered them.

It never occurred to the two childes that a boy from the inferior race would curse them so recklessly! That was so outrageous!
