The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

24. Instruction from King of the Netherworld

Translator: Ning LL

The boy followed the King while trying his best to hide the Demon Beast Egg in his pocket.

He was afraid that his leader would find out about the Egg, so he would glance at his leader from time to time, in case the latter would suddenly look back.

The two of them walked aboveboard through the gate of the Palace, and then they were gradually out of sight of the people who were watching them curiously and reverently.

The old man in white was standing by the exit, waiting for them. Seeing the old man’s tranquil look, the boy couldn’t help but shrink his neck. ‘Perhaps he has found out about the Egg? Oh my, he must be angry now.’ The boy thought.

However, the truth was that the old man would never lose his temper to his master whether he was angry or not, .

The large gate closed slowly. However, the old man in white didn’t follow the King and the boy, but only stood guard devotedly.

‘He only stands there to prevent me from running out again! Definitely!’ The boy guessed.

After the boy came back to the palace, he kept rubbing his hands behind his back while staring at the man who was sitting in the seat above.

As the saying went, ‘As long as my enemy is motionless, I won’t move a bit.’

The boy, with a guilty conscience, didn’t dare to say anything. Since he still didn’t know his leader’s attitude toward this thing, he decided to keep silent. Under no circumstances would he speak first. Once his leader spoke out, he would think of something to reply.

However, the boy had overestimated himself and underestimated King of the Netherworld.

Ever since they entered the palace, the King had never uttered a single word and he only stared at the boy the whole time.

‘Is this what they call psywar?’

As thinking of that, the boy was stunned and also helpless. He couldn’t stand being gazed at for too long, since that would give him goosebumps. Having goosebumps all over his body really was uncomfortable!

“My leader, are you angry now?” The boy pondered for a while and finally decided to believe that he would get a lighter sentence as long as he told the truth. So, he finally opened his mouth carefully.

“Come here.” The king also started to speak.

The boy exhaled. Although there was still no expression on the King’s face, the boy was already glad to hear his leader talking.

“My leader.” The boy put on a complaisant face and ran toward the King with a smile. He didn’t forget to cover the Demon Beast Egg in his pocket since that was the only property he had. Hairless Chicken also belonged to him, but the King had mentioned that a Demon Beast which had signed a contract with its master could never be sold to others. Besides, the boy also doubted if anyone would want this chicken since it was so ugly. Then he could only accept the chicken reluctantly.

“Did it hurt?”

The King reached out his hand to touch the boy’s face before the latter could even react. King of the Netherworld touched the part of the boy’s skin where Dongfang Ling’er had slapped. His tender and cold fingers seemed to be able to ease all the pain in this world. In no time, the boy’s swollen face became smooth and soft again.

As the boy wanted to nod, he suddenly found his originally swollen face did not hurt anymore. Then he touched his face and only felt his skin as tender as before without any aching. In other words, he totally recovered..

That was so amazing!

The boy found that everything in this world was beyond his imagination.

Of course, he still regarded himself as the most outstanding one. After all, no one was able to have such a mysterious and powerful leader like he did. He never needed to worry about the food or clothes and was even fed pretty well after he had lived with his leader. He found himself getting a long-term free ticket for meals!

Thinking of that, the boy started to get dizzy with success. Nonetheless, he didn’t realize that the King was staring at him now with a rather meaningful look. After the boy had his moment, he finally remembered that his leader was still beside him.

“My leader, you looked so awesome just now! Who is that old man? Why did he respect you so much? You are his leader too? It feels so nice to have subordinates. If I have such a subordinate, I will certainly require him to teach his daughter well. His failure in education must be the reason why his daughter has gone mad like a cow!”

“From tomorrow on, I’ll teach you how to cultivate yourself to be an immortal.” King of the Netherworld said that in a flat and slow tone, which interrupted the boy’s delusion.

“Cultivate? Why do I need cultivation?” The boy asked that wonderingly.

“To have more power. If anyone dares to bully you again, you can protect yourself.” The king explained simply.

“Why?” The boy still couldn’t understand.

“If others respect me, I’ll return the respect!” Having thought for a while, King of the Netherworld uttered the words.

“On the contrary, if others hit me once, I’ll kick them twice?” The clever boy soon understood what the King tried to express. So he asked that to confirm his assumption.

King of the Netherworld looked at the boy intently. Although the King didn’t say anything, his implication was a yes…

Then the boy nodded in a daze. He decided to regard his leader’s words just now as a truth!
