The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

37. God of Bad Luck

Translator: Ning LL

After the bearded man said that, all the people in the Flying Dragon Pavilion looked to Feng Xi at the same time. Some of them even looked quite joyful as if they were looking forward to watching the fun. Everyone seemed to be waiting for Feng Xi to walk toward the bearded man.

“Buddy, I saw your face glowing with health but there was also a trace of black air. You do have a strange face. Why don’t you let me tell your fortune?” The bearded man said again, looking like a secluded expert.

Liar!

That was the only word which came to Feng Xi’s mind. What? Glowing with health? He remembered he had forgotten to wash his face this morning! A trace of black air? More like bad luck. Otherwise, why did he run into all those troubles every time he came out?

In a word, the bearded man was the one with a strange face!

After the bearded man saw that Feng Xi had no intention to reply to him, he pulled Feng Xi toward the crystal ball right away. Then he said in a deep voice while stroking his beard, “Buddy, please trust me. I, Hu Hanshan, never tell any lies. You truly have a strange face. Just let me tell your fortune, and then you’ll believe me.”

Hu Hanshan?

The words ‘Hu Biesan’ flashed in Feng Xi’s mind at once.(T/N: Biesan meant a wimp in Chinese). As Feng Xi observed the man’s wretched face, he suddenly felt that ‘Biesan’ was more suitable for the man as a name. Then, without struggling a bit, Feng Xi sat in front of the crystal ball. ‘Wow, this crystal ball looks so pretty!’ He thought.

“How are you going to tell my fortune?” Feng Xi asked.

Hu Hanshan gave a smile right away. However, the smile only made him look more wretched. He said, “Buddy, you only need to focus on the crystal ball in front of you. After I cast the spells, you can see your future as well as your fortune.”

Feng Xi didn’t entirely believe the man, but he still opened his eyes wide and stared at the crystal ball according to the man’s instruction. The crystal ball was transparent, filled with white color. Except for that, there was nothing in there. After Feng Xi had gazed at the crystal ball for a long while, he even got a bit drowsy and wanted to abandon himself into the crystal ball.

Nonetheless, Feng Xi had slept pretty well last night. Besides, God of Books kept reminding him that he couldn’t stay here more than four hours or else Uncle White would catch him back. Thinking of the look of Uncle White and that poker face, Feng Xi got shocked right away and became even more sober. However, he lowered his head the whole time, so even Hu Hanshan wasn’t aware that Feng Xi was awaken.

At this moment, the people around them started to gossip.

“Well well, another one who fell into the trap. Poor thing!” Although this guy said that, his tone sounded quite joyful.

“That’s right. How many years do you think this boy’s going to be unlucky?” Another guy asked.

“I think Hu Hanshan wouldn’t let this boy go so easily, since it’s so hard for him to find such a fool. I guess he will pass several decades’ bad luck to that boy.”

“Damn. In this way, all the bad luck in Hu Hanshan’s blood will disappear. This boy seems to be the ten thousandth one. Hu Hanshan’s father is so clever to think of that way.”

“Well, Hu Hanshan is from a noble family after all and he is the only child in his family that is pampered the whole time. If he doesn’t get rid of his bad luck, he won’t live a good life. I only pity those people who don’t know that they have been given the bad luck. Don’t know how long those people would be unlucky.”

“Puff, why do you look so happy then?”

“Ha ha, isn’t it interesting to watch others falling on hard times? You are thinking of the same thing too. Am I right?”

…

Hearing their conversation, Feng Xi got completely furious. It was true that he and those noble people were born to be enemies. He knew this Hu Biesan was not a good guy. However, Feng Xi never realized that this wimp wanted to pass bad luck to him! No way!

“Hey!” Feng Xi thumped on the table angrily and glowered at Hu Hanshan who was freaked out.

“How can you be…” Hu Hanshan swallowed the word “fine” and changed the look on his face, saying, “It’s not finished yet. Why did you stand up? Just wait for a second.”

“Wait for a second? To do what? To receive your bad luck? You are obviously up to something evil! How stupid do you think I am!”

After Feng Xi had shouted that, the Flying Dragon Pavilion fell into silence immediately.

God of Books who had already turned invisible witnessed the whole thing when thinking, ‘Young Master, you really gets cleverer. However, you are standing in their territory now! Even if you want to get aggressive, you have to assess the situation first.’

God of Books and God of Bad Luck were both Spiritual Gods. Even if they turned invisible, they were still able to see each other. In other words, God of Books was able to see God of Bad Luck. Therefore, he saw it clearly that the mouldy lump on Hu Hanshan’s head was God of Bad Luck, whom everyone in the Three Worlds wanted to avoid.

Seeing how mouldy the lump had got, God of Books detected that Hu Hanshan would be unlucky for five thousand years.

However, since Hu Hanshan had passed his bad luck to others, the mould had gradually faded away. Feng Xi was very unlucky, because he was exactly the ten thousandth one to receive the bad luck, which meant after Hu Hanshan had passed all his bad luck, God of Bad Luck would possess Feng Xi. By then, Feng Xi would be unlucky for more than thousands of years.

What was more, the eyes of God of Bad Luck sparkled the moment he saw Feng Xi. God of Bad Luck was obviously planning something evil. However, the light was covered by the mould on his body, so even God of Books didn’t see him.

He was God of Bad Luck. The person who was possessed by him would definitely have bad luck for a long time. However, that result was quite beneficial to God of Bad Luck himself, because that was the only way for him to get stronger.

To be blunt, after he had possessed a person and let that person get unlucky for a while, he would absorb that poor guy’s good fortune. At last, God of Bad Luck would obtain that person’s cultivation achievement during that period of time.

God of Bad Luck was capable of sensing the luck in everyone. He had possessed Hu Hanshan joyfully because of the latter’s extremely good luck. Hu Hanshan, the privileged man whose father was the vice president of the Test Union, surely had more good luck than others. Thus God of Bad Luck had possessed Hu Hanshan ever since the latter was born.

Generally speaking, if God of Bad Luck didn’t want to leave, no one was able to drive him away. That was also why Hu Hanshan could only pass his bad luck to others instead of expelling God of Bad Luck.

Now, God of Bad Luck suddenly preferred Feng Xi’s fortune. He had never met so much good luck in one person. So even if Hu Hanshan didn’t pass his bad luck to Feng Xi, God of Bad Luck would still pick Feng Xi as his next target.

After Feng Xi had shouted with an imposing manner, Hu Hanshan was totally stunned.

As Feng Xi thought Hu Hanshan was about to tell the truth, Hu Hanshan only stayed silent with his face turning green and red. After that, Hu Hanshan sat on the chair feebly and started to sob,

“You think I want this? I have been unlucky for a thousand years. If I cannot drive God of Bad Luck away, I’ll be stuck in this state. It’s so difficult. I have no choice… No…”

Hearing Hu Hanshan whining about that, Feng Xi and God of Books were astonished. The look on this man’s face changed so fast.

“You are a man. How can you cry so easily? Just stop. How about this? I’ll find someone to replace you. What do you think?” Feng Xi couldn’t help but pity Hu Hanshan after seeing his crying face. However, under no circumstances would Feng Xi sacrifice himself. Then he proposed that.

The people in the crowd were shocked to hear that.

“You have shouted so loudly. Now everyone knows that I am possessed by God of Bad Luck. Now it is even more difficult for me to find someone to replace me.” The look on Hu Hanshan’s face turned sadder. He knew about his fate long ago.

“Don’t worry. You can count on me. I have already picked a guy.” Feng Xi patted his chest and promised that. He didn’t think Uncle White would mind getting unlucky. If Uncle White had bad luck every day, he wouldn’t have the extra energy to discipline Feng Xi. ‘Ha ha, what a good idea! It’s like killing two birds with one stone!’

Right at this moment, King of the Netherworld suddenly raised his eyebrows. He found that four hours was about to pass.

Hu Hanshan was dubious of Feng Xi’s words. However, when he glanced at the crystal ball, he screamed in shock, “Hey! It’s gone!” He sounded surprised and also a bit excited.

“What’s gone?” Feng Xi approached the crystal ball and checked. However, it was still completely white.

“I, I, I… God of Bad Luck who sat on my head is gone!” Hu Hanshan was afraid that it was only his delusion. Then he approached the crystal ball and opened his eyes wide.

“So you can see God of Bad Luck in the crystal ball!” Feng Xi glanced at the crystal ball randomly. Then he saw a black spot showing on his back through the white crystal ball. After that, the faint voice of God of Books sounded by his ears,

“Young Master, God of Bad Luck just picked you.”

“Ah…” Feng Xi, totally unprepared, screamed loudly.

Then, Hu Hanshan jumped out of joy, in stark contrast to Feng Xi who was in a daze.

“That’s great. I am finally free. God of Bad Luck has left me. You are my mascot. Buddy, thank you so much!”

Hu Hanshan said that in excitement while grabbing Feng Xi’s hand, with tears filling his eyes. He almost gave a big hug to Feng Xi.

“By the way, you wanted to register before, right? What’s your name? I’ll register for you. My father is the vice president of the Test Union. I can guarantee that you can attend anything you want. Even if there is no vacancy, I can still get you a place in any test.” Hu Hanshan stared at Feng Xi with his eyes full of hope. It was clear to see that this man really was in a happy mood.

Right at this moment, God of Bad Luck finally moved. He flew to Feng Xi like an arrow…
