The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

20. Time Is Up

Watching the energy in the fire ball keep increasing, Yang Ming and Dongfang Ling’er who had cared nothing about the chicken just now suddenly goggled.

The energy had increased crazily from the first grade to the seventh grade. The space was filled with energy while violent storms began to blow. The Spiritual Energy in the air seemed to be attracted by the fire ball and form a large vortex providing more energy for the fire ball…

That was a high-level Demon Beast in a grade higher than seven?

Yang Ming and Dongfang Ling’er were totally speechless due to their astonishment. They had assumed Hairless Chicken to be a normal high-level Demon Beast. However, it never occurred to them that the beast’s grade would be higher than seven. Even the exalted nobles only possessed fewer than five Demon Beasts of the high grade. Thus it could be seen how valuable a Demon Beast of high grade was!

Yang Ming and Dongfang Ling’er’s power was equal to a fifth grade Demon Beast, but now they were fighting against a seventh grade Demon Beast. Without strong defensive power, they would either be badly injured or die right away once being hit by the fire ball.

At the moment, the fire ball was still absorbing the Spiritual Energy in the air and had already expanded into a large ball.

Hairless Chicken didn’t give the two of them time to react. After the fire ball was split into two, Hairless Chicken screamed and flew quickly to Yang Ming and Dongfang Ling’er…

A black shadow rushed to the front of Dongfang Ling’er. The energy of a high-level warrior was given off from his body. As Yang Ming waved his hand, he arouse a fluctuation in the air. The next second, there seemed to be a transparent wall being built up in front of him. The fire ball hit right onto that wall, giving out sparks everywhere. However, in the end, even all those sparks disappeared as if they were put out by water.

Hairless Chicken blocked the blast wave for the boy.

However, the boy was still pushed backwards a few steps after being blown by the wind. In the meantime, the Demon Beast Egg in his arms also fell onto the ground. When he wanted to pick up the Egg, Hairless Chicken in front of him suddenly took a step back. The boy took back his hand quickly, forgetting about picking up the egg.

“Ouch…” The boy screamed miserably.

Although he managed to withdraw his right hand, unfortunately, his left hand was stamped by Hairless Chicken. His left hand was swollen in no time because the Chicken was too heavy. After that, the boy cried out with pain.

“Damn you, Hairless Chicken! My hand was stamped swollen by you!”

Hairless Chicken looked at the boy with a look of innocence. It swore that it didn’t mean to do that. The Chicken never expected that the man in black would be so cunning that he launched an attack even though the Chicken had already stopped spewing fire. Hairless Chicken stepped backward because it was unguarded. But little did the Chicken know that its master was behind it!

The boy shook his hand which was already swollen and blew air onto his fingers while pointing to Hairless Chicken, “Ahhh! Stop looking at me with that pathetic look! You have stamped on my hand! That is the truth! I won’t be tricked by you!”

‘Master, I didn’t mean to!’

Hairless Chicken explained for itself inwardly and clucked.

Meanwhile, Dongfang Ling’er had already come back to her senses. She opened her mouth slightly, not knowing what to say. She still hadn’t got over the shock which had been brought by the Demon Beast of the seventh grade, and now she had to reconsider her plan.

However, when she accidentally glanced at the Demon Beast Egg on the ground, she nearly screamed out.

There was a dim halo around the surface of the Demon Beast Egg. The indistinct lines on the Egg showed that this was a high-level Demon Beast Egg. The most important thing was that the indistinct lines showed the figure of a little Demon Beast. According to the body type and the fluctuation that it had sent out, it was obviously a Blue Wolf, generally recognized as the most aggressive high-level Demon Beast. Its sharp teeth and claws were its best weapon which could easily crush anyone.

The Blue Wolf race nearly vanished in the Three Worlds.

Dongfang Ling’er knew that this was an egg of a Blue Wolf because she had read it on a book. If she was able to sign a contract with a Blue Wolf, her power would be doubled, which was of great benefit to her without question.

The crowd fell into silence…

“You bold thief, not only have you humiliated me and hurt my friends, you also stole my high-level Demon Beast Egg. I won’t let you get away with this. You’d better give my egg back to me now!”

All the people there were stunned, and most of them showed looks of disbelief.

However, when they saw the Demon Beast Egg on the ground, they finally understood Dongfang Ling’er’s intention. She was only coveting the boy’s egg, and that was why she accused the boy of stealing her Demon Beast Egg. Then everyone felt ashamed for the girl.

The boy, with his mouth opened wide, was also shocked by how shameless Dongfang Ling’er was. After a long while, he finally came back to earth and muttered,

“I thought I am already barefaced enough, now I finally found someone even more shameless than me! I did have widen my horizon today.”

“Why are you still standing there? Take him down. Sentence him for stealing.” Dongfang Ling’er growled angrily to the guard beside her.

“Yes, my lady!” The guard in black turned around and answered.

“Damn…”

The boy suddenly cried out again, which startled everyone else.

As they looked at the boy, they found him jumping on the ground anxiously while babbling about something that they didn’t understand.

“I’m over. I am totally over. It’s been an hour. How can I forget? Hairless Chicken, come on, let’s go back now, or we’ll both be doomed!”

If he broke his promise the first time he went out, his leader wouldn’t let him go out so easily for sure. The boy had planned to make his leader believe that he was a trustworthy person by behaving well. Then his leader wouldn’t refuse his proposal of going out again. However, plans could never keep up with changes. He had only wanted to sell an Egg, but now he ended up in a fight with all those people. At last, he had wasted an hour quarreling with them. The boy now wanted to commit suicide. Why couldn’t things work out in the way he wanted? What a bummer!

Hairless Chicken also seemed to find that they were in trouble thanks to the boy’s reminding. When it was about to carry the boy back to the Heaven Palace, said Dongfang Ling’er in a nasty voice.

“You think you can leave so easily?!”
