The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

52. Poor God of Books

Translator: Ning LL

Go with nothing but come back fully loaded.

Feng Xi had never been happier than he was now.

Also, as a not stupid boy, he knew that the Wooden Ring was way more precious than these fruits.

Therefore, after he had left World of Ink, he hid the ring very carefully and didn’t even tell God of Books about it.

However, truth would come to light sooner or later. The joyful look on his face was so obvious that God of Books finally couldn’t help but ask,

“Master, why are you being so happy? Please share it with me. I promise you I won’t tell anyone, but I can’t guarantee for God of Bad Luck. So, just tell me.” Although God of Books was eager to know about Feng Xi’s story, he knew that tempting someone to tell a secret required patience.

Before he could finish his speech, God of Bad Luck squeaked again with dissatisfaction, trying to express his disdain toward God of Books.

After God of Bad Luck had lost tens of thousands of years of cultivation because of Feng Xi, he still couldn’t speak anything until now.

Feng Xi pretended to be hesitant while rolling his eyes, but actually already couldn’t hold his tongue.

It was so hard for Feng Xi to restrain himself from showing off the great stuffs he had just got in front of his two buddies. Moreover, God of Books and God of Bad Luck accompanied Feng Xi all the time, so they would know about the ring sooner or later. As a result, Feng Xi might seem to be in hesitation, but had wanted to display his trophy long ago. However, the two Gods never asked anything.

That disappointed Feng Xi a lot. He tried many times to talk about it but still failed. Luckily, God of Books was good at reading others’ mind.

“Ahem, since the two of you have asked me so sincerely, I’ll tell you then, even though I shouldn’t.” When saying that, Feng Xi reached out his right hand.

God of Books and God of Bad Luck looked to the left, the right, the top and the bottom and finally found that… there were only five fingers! What was there to see!

They both showed a disdainful look. Then the little head of God of Books was knocked fiercely by Feng Xi.

Why only God of Books was beaten?

Because Feng Xi could only see the expression on the face of God of Books. God of Bad Luck was just a moldy lump, whose face couldn’t even be found. Feng Xi couldn’t even see the look on his face even if he laughed out loud.

God of Bad Luck was quite happy to see God of Books being beaten.

“Humph, watch carefully.” Feng Xi summoned the ring inwardly. Then a green ring showed up on his finger.

God of Books and God of Bad Luck approached Feng Xi right away. The yellow God of Books and the green God of Bad Luck both stared at the ring on Feng Xi’s finger with their eyes wide open.

An ancient aura came out from the ring, making the surrounding air cool and refreshing. The next moment, the crystal green ring caught the eye of the two Gods right away.

They had never seen a ring in that color. Normally, the ordinary vegetation that had a cultivation base still had all kinds of worldly aura. However, the ring on Feng Xi’s finger seemed clean and pure with distinct texture, which meant it definitely wasn’t from the ordinary vegetation.

The knowledgeable God of Books and aged God of Bad Luck knew the origin of the ring in no time.

“The Wooden Ring?”

“Squeak, squeak, squeak…”

God of Books cried out in shock while God of Bad Luck also shouted. They both didn’t believe what they had seen.

“Master, is this the Space Ring which was refined by Tree of the World?”

“Haha, surprised to see it, right? The old tree has presented me with this. He said that he has nourished the ring for countless years. Do you know what’s inside of the ring now?” Feng Xi waved his ring in front of his two buddies complacently.

“Fruits… of Tree of the World?” God of Books already flashed an envious look in his eyes.

Feng Xi took out a fruit straightly. The green fruit looked like an exquisite ceramic artifact that had been carved perfectly. The ones that knew nothing about the fruit would never assume that it could be eaten.

God of Books and God of Bad Luck both showed greedy looks in their eyes.

All the spiritual creatures in the Three Worlds wanted fruits of Tree of the World.

It was said that Tree of the World grew in the Heaven God Mountain Range in the south of God and Demon Kingdom. It bore fifty fruits every one thousand years. Because of the rarity of the fruits, all the forces had fought for them all along. However, those wars were always tangled so most of the time some self cultivators would take advantage of the disorder and steal the fruits. As the saying went, “The third party always benefits from the tussle.”

At last, the casualties of the tangled war were so heavy that the Lords of the Heaven and Demon World had also been attracted. They also coveted the fruits of Tree of the World. However, at that time, there had been an expert guarding God and Demon Kingdom. Then the two Lords had never got themselves involved in the war.

Three years ago, a large-scale war broke out in the Heaven God Mountain Range. At last, the war brought much more damage than it should have.

Then that guardian had to sign an agreement with the Lords of the Heaven and Demon World.

Every one thousand years, the fruits born by Tree of the World would be divided into two parts. One part would become the prize for the winner on the Large Competition. The other part would be up for auction which was only accessible to the wealthy families, and the gains would be divided up by the third party. Thus things seemed quite fair now.

It could be seen how valuable the fruits of Tree of the World were.

However, what surprised God of Books a lot was not the reason why Fruit of the World was that precious, but… another thing!
