Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 460: The Clanʼs Representatives

”No! I still donʼt agree with your idea!” Shang Yaolin immediately refused again. ”Aunt Xinxin, I certainly dislike being suppressed by them, but I donʼt want to be used as a tool to gain a higher status, and it doesnʼt matter to me if I canʼt make a contract with Longʼer. Moreover, you and my mother have always liked young leaves, right?

You yourself are still a virgin now, so you should be the one to seduce and marry him in the future! As for me, I will only marry the man of my choice, but all the men I have known so far are not worthy of being my husband.”

Shang Yaolin immediately ran out of her brotherʼs room and returned to her own room, and Zhang Xiaolong [3] was forced to follow her back to their room. He was still curious about Murong Qianying and Hong Xinxinʼs next plans after she rejected them, but he was afraid that she would be suspicious if he disappeared from there.

”As expected.” Hong Xinxin spoke as she turned to face Murong Qiangyin. ”What do you think about this? We both know Yaolinʼs character, and he will never agree to our idea.”

Murong Qiangyin nodded slightly while thinking deeply. ”If Yaolin still doesnʼt agree with our idea, then I have no choice but to send my eldest daughter to this realm, and I will ask her to take that fox child from her.”

”Are you serious about that, Mother? Are you really going to send our big sister to this realm?” Shang Guangming inquired immediately, but his expression appeared strange as he thought about their big sister.

”Do I look like Iʼm joking?” Murong Qiangyin asked back with a raised eyebrow. ”That kid is a heavenly fox, so everything will be too late once he grows up, and we wonʼt be able to use him for our own interests if we canʼt control him.

Moreover, Yumei has long hated Shang Huaqiang, and she wonʼt mind doing all the available options as long as we can improve our family status, so she is our best choice. I am confident that she can seduce and control that kid, and he will be completely submissive to our orders later.”

Shang Guangming was rendered speechless by his motherʼs reply, especially since he was completely familiar with Shang Yumeiʼs character, so he also knew that she was their best choice to control Zhang Xiaolong [3].

Hong Xinxin immediately spoke again. ”You should contact Yumei now and have her come to this realm as soon as possible, Sister Qianying. She must act quickly, as it will be difficult for her to snatch Longʼer away from Yaolin if he has already attached himself to her.”

Murong Qianying herself was already aware of this, so she immediately took out her interspatial communication device and contacted her eldest daughter. ”Yumei is on her way back to our realm, and she will go straight to this realm once she arrives there in three days.”

Shang Guangming massaged his forehead after hearing that. ʼSigh! Yaolin and Big Sister are polar opposites, and Longʼer will suffer if she truly falls into her hands.ʼ

Unfortunately, all of them still donʼt know about the real Zhang Xiaolong [3], let alone his plans for them.

After Shang Yaolin entered their room, Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately inquired. ”Where were you just now, Big Sis? When I woke up, I couldnʼt find you. I wanted to go look for you, but I didnʼt dare to do it.”

”My mother came to this realm, and she is currently in my brotherʼs room, so I came to see her.” Shang Yaolin then approached Zhang Xiaolong [3] and carried him. ”The weather in this realm seems to be calm tonight, so how about we go for a walk?”

Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately agreed with Shang Yaolinʼs idea. ”Iʼm tired of staying in this room, Big Sis, so I want to go out and explore the island.”

Shang Yaolin immediately took Zhang Xiaolong [3] out of their room before leaving the Shang Clan residence, but she instantly frowned when they arrived at the exit gate, especially since two women were already waiting for them. ”What are you two doing here, Huang Qinghua and Hao Jianxiu?”

”Hey! You donʼt have to be so cold to us, right?” Huang Qinghua was the first to answer as he approached them. ”We didnʼt come here to find trouble with you; we came because weʼd heard about this fox kid, so we wanted to see him with our own eyes.”

*Slap*

Shang Yaolin immediately slapped Huang Qinghuaʼs hand away as soon as she reached out to rub Zhang Xiaolong [3]ʼs head. ”Stay away from us! Otherwise, Iʼll beat you up!”

Huang Qinghua looked furious at that, but Hao Jianxiu immediately patted her shoulder to stop her, especially since Murong Qiangyin was inside the residence, and she would punish them if she attacked Sang Yaolin. ”Does this fox kid mean that much to you? Youʼre not usually like this, Yaolin. Usually you act indifferent, but now youʼre acting like a mother hen protecting her chick.”

”Yes! Longʼer is mine, and I wonʼt let anyone get close to him, especially the two of you.” Shang Yaolin immediately took out her short spear and pointed at them. ”You guys better leave now before I get really angry!”

”You-Mhmm.”

Hao Jianxiu immediately covered Huang Qinghuaʼs mouth with her hand and pulled her away from them. ”All right, we donʼt want to look for trouble with you, so I will take Qinghua back right now.”

”Humph!” Shang Yaolin snorted at them, stored his short spear, and took Zhang Xiaolong[3] away with him.

However, Zhang Xiaolong [3] continued to look at the two women as he realized about the relationship between them. These two women, unlike Yan Luanʼer and Xi Zihua, are truly lilies. Moreover, their clans seem to be no less powerful than the Shang Clan, so I must find a way to get closer to them.ʼ

Mei, who understood her masterʼs thoughts, immediately displayed both womenʼs status.

ʼThey both donʼt like Shang Yaolin, huh?ʼ Zhang Xiaolong [3] then asked. ”Who are they, Big Sis? Why do you dislike them so much?”

Instead, Shang Yaolin was irritated by Zhang Xiaolongʼs [3] question. ”Tch! You better not ask about them! The short chubby one is Huang Qinghua, and the other is Hao Jianxiu, both of whom come from the Huang and Hao branch clans. If thereʼs anyone I hate the most in this world, itʼs those two!

They are the most disgusting women because they are lilies, and their behavior is also very annoying, so you shouldnʼt think about getting closer to them. They never like men, and they will probably torture you.”

Zhang Xiaolong [3] laughed in his heart, especially since he always found the lily couple very interesting. ”So how many clans from upper realms are here?”

”About 50 clans, but they live spread across this island. Besides my Shang Clan, there are five other clans living in this area: the Huang, Hao, Qiao, Murong, and Deng Clans.” Shang Yaolin then pointed to a building that was more like a five-story tower. ”Can you see that building?

That is the residence of the Qiao Clan, and the leader of their representatives is Senior Brother Qiao Liangren, whose strength is stronger than Senior Sister Yingyue, with his cultivation at the 1-Moon Divine Fusion Realm. Anyway, they are both soul cultivators, and they train under the guidance of Senior Hun Di.”

Zhang Xiaolong [3]ʼs eyes lit up when he heard that, especially since he didnʼt know the method to properly cultivate his soul, and he had relied more on dual soul cultivation so far. Unfortunately, the increase in his soul power is insignificant, even though he has done it repeatedly with all his wives and partners who have reached the soul realm or above. ”Who is Senior Hun Di, Big Sis?”

”Oh! I remember you saying that you were also interested in soul cultivation.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded to Shang Yaolin. ”Senior Hun Di is the best soul cultivator in the upper realms, and our seniors gave him the nickname the Soul Emperor; even our patriarchs respect him very much.

However, he is very strict and selective when choosing disciples, making it extremely difficult to become his disciple. Senior Sister Yingyue, for example, spent ten years to become his disciple.”

”Ten years?” Zhang Xiaolong [3] was shocked by that.

”Yes.” Shang Yaolin nodded before continuing. ”Even though Senior Hun accepted her as his disciple, Senior Sister Yingyue couldnʼt immediately learn soul techniques from him, and she had to do a lot of housework for several years as a test of her determination.

Many of them failed to meet the test and gave up halfway, but she had a strong mentality and determination, and she patiently went through everything without ever complaining.”

”What about Qiao Liangren?”

”Haha.” Shang Yaolin giggled at that, and Zhang Xiaolong [3] could see the admiration in her eyes. ”Senior Brother Liangren is a unique, handsome, and cool man. He prefers an atmosphere full of silence, and he rarely speaks, especially since he needs high concentration and quietness to cultivate his soul.

Even so, he is gentle and kind-hearted, and he never looks at other people based on their status, so many people admire him, both men and women, including me. Actually, we can meet him at the mountain peak, but he shares the time with Senior Yingyue to cultivate there. If my memory serves me correctly, tonight is his turn to cultivate, so Iʼll accompany you there later.

However, please refrain from making any noise, as he prefers peaceful cultivation.”

”I know, Big Sis.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately thought of a way to approach Qiao Liangren, especially since he had long wanted to increase his soul power, and he was the only person who could help him now. Although Shang Yingyue could also help him, he felt that she was too cautious and suspicious of him, so he felt that it would be difficult to approach her. ”Then what about the other clans?”

Shang Yaolin immediately pointed out the residences of the other four clans. ”Senior Huang Shengyan, the representative of the Huang Clan, is the strictest among the other representatives. When you meet him, be careful in your speech and behavior, or heʼll punish you.

Senior Hao Weizen and Senior Deng Zhichao, the representatives of the Hao and Deng Clans, are notorious for their lecherous behavior, frequently spying on women while they are bathing. The Murong Clan is my motherʼs family, and their representative is Senior Sister Murong Mengying. Unlike Senior Sister Yingyue, she is lazy and drunkard.

However, when faced with serious problems, she can be extremely serious and ruthless towards anything and anyone that poses a threat to her clan.”

ʼOh?ʼ Shang Yaolinʼs description of Murong Mengying piqued Zhang Xiaolong [3]ʼs interest in meeting her, so he immediately searched for her location on his map, and he found her alone in the fortress. ʼThat woman seems very interesting; I might be able to form a good relationship with her.ʼ ”What about other clans living in other areas?”

As she took Zhang Xiaolong [3] to several places, Shang Yaolin told him many things about those clans, and Mei immediately recorded the data regarding them into the system.

Meanwhile, the two women had returned to their private quarters, but Huang Qinghua was still furious because of Shang Yaolinʼs previous threats, making Hao Jianxiu shake her head helplessly. ”Forget about her, especially since you will never win against her, and you will suffer if Aunt Qianying punishes you severely.”

”What do you think about that fox kid?”

Hao Jianxiu immediately sat down beside his lover. ”I can indeed sense the demon aura from him, so Hao Shihai and Huang Fujianʼs reports about him are indeed accurate. Unfortunately, Shang Yaolin is very protective of him, so it is difficult for us to get more information about him, except our two seniors investigate him.

However, he is too weak to be a threat, so Senior Brother Weizen and Senior Brother Shengyan wonʼt care about him.”

”Thatʼs true.” Huang Qinghua then pulled her lover down onto the bed. ”How about we work together with the others to kidnap that kid? I donʼt know why, but somehow, I have a feeling that he is not an ordinary fox, so I want to snatch him from that bitch.”

”No.” Hao Jianxiu immediately rejected her idea. ”Qiao Xuan has already refused to do that, and Murong Yi is still a cousin of Shang Yaolin, so he wonʼt help us either. As for Deng Shicang, he is useless and wonʼt be able to help us, so you better forget about that fox kid. Anyway, letʼs sleep now, especially since we still have to continue our duties tomorrow.”

Huang Qinghua sighed softly and closed her eyes, but she continued to rack her brains for a way to snatch Zhang Xiaolong [3] from Shang Yaolin. ʼTch! Sooner or later, I will definitely snatch that fox kid from that bitch, and I will force him to make a contract with me.ʼ

The notificationʼs appearance signified that the day had changed again, and Shang Yaolin immediately brought Zhang Xiaolong [3] back to the Shang Clan residence, especially since it was already midnight. However, he asked her to take him to the mountain peak, especially since he wanted to see Qiao Liangren cultivating there, so she took him there directly.

When they arrived there, Qiao Liangren was already sitting in the middle with his eyes closed, and his cultivation soul was already outside his body, so they did not approach him and watched him from a distance.

As Shang Yaolin had said before, Qiao Liangren was indeed very handsome, and his expression was filled with tranquility as he cultivated. However, Zhang Xiaolong [3] could feel something different about him, especially his cultivation soul.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] then used the nature awareness ability to check Qiao Liangrenʼs cultivation soul, and he could see countless Qi threads flowing into it. Not only that, but he could also see that it was also absorbing nature energy from those colorful rocks.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] thought for a while before whispering to Shang Yaolin. ʼBig Sis, I want to try doing the same as Senior Liangʼer, so please protect me.ʼ

Before Shang Yaolin could speak, Zhang Xiaolong [3] had already closed his eyes and released his cultivation soul, leaving her stunned. ʼSigh! This kid! Heʼs really impatient to learn new things, but Iʼm not sure he can do the same as Senior Brother Liangren, especially since he has never learned about soul cultivation before.ʼ
