Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 512: Royals

In the Tianzhu building, Xian Feng and Shi Qingzhuang stood side by side on the balcony as they observed Zhang Fei and Zhang Lin using their senses. Behind them, a young man and a young woman stood, exchanging confused glances, their confusion heightened by the twoʼs attitudes.

Based on their facial features, the young man and the young woman were twins, and both of them had handsome and beautiful faces.

The young man has shoulder-length black hair, black eyes, a sharp chin, and a not-so-muscular figure. His inner clothing is white, and his outer clothing is blue.

Under the young womanʼs beautiful black hair resided a small oval face. Her eyes were big, with a slight hint of blue. Her luscious red lips are quite sexy and tempting. Her white and blue dress perfectly fits her extremely proportional body, which is neither too slender nor too full.

Her D-Cup chest alone is enough to make any man drool, not to mention her jade-like skin, hourglass waist, wide wips, and soft buttocks.

”Husband, he knew that you were the one who invited him, yet he chose to ignore your invitation and kept you waiting, which reminded me of when we were young.” Shi Qingzhuang spoke with a soft smile on her face. ”Back then, my father also invited you to talk, but you ignored him for most of the day.

Even after you arrived at my clan, you didnʼt directly meet him, instead choosing to sneak into my room. He was truly furious at that time, and he desperately wanted to kick you out of our clan.”

”Hahahaha!” Xian Feng laughed loudly as he hugged his wifeʼs waist. ”Perhaps my actions in the past became my karma today, and that kid is my karma.”

”Father! Mother! Who exactly is the man you are talking about?” The young woman could no longer hold back her curiosity, especially since her parents still hadnʼt told her and her brother about Zhang Fei.

The young man also asked them. ”Is that man a powerful cultivator, Father? Why did you specifically invite him here? You even asked us to leave our training to meet him.”

Xian Feng immediately turned to them. ”Xianqin and Xianwu, I donʼt know his name yet, but I can tell you two that he is not an ordinary cultivator. Actually, I accidentally discovered him when I sensed his breakthrough into the Earth Realm. We witnessed his breakthrough from beginning to end, and he was truly exceptional.”

”The Earth Realm?” Xian Xianqin and Xian Xianwu exchanged confused looks because Zhang Feiʼs cultivation was too low in their eyes. ”What makes him special, Father?”

Xian Feng shook his head at them. ”I wonʼt tell you two about it for his safety, especially since that evil guy will hunt him down if news about him leaks to his ears.”

”Your father is right.” Shi Qingzhuang joined in the conversation because their children seemed annoyed with her husbandʼs secrecy. ”Judging from his bone age, he is only 20 years old, but his cultivation has already reached 1-Star Earth Realm. Thatʼs why we wonʼt reveal too much about him to anyone, including the two of you.”

”Huh?” Shi Qingzhuangʼs words caused Xian Xianqin and Xian Xianwuʼs jaws to drop, especially since it took them over thirty years to reach that stage. ”Are you serious about that, Mother? Is he really only 20 years old? How could he reach that stage so quickly?”

”He is a dual cultivator.” Both of them immediately looked at Xian Feng with frowns. ”It is true that the dual cultivation path can make our cultivation increase faster than normal cultivators like us, but his cultivation speed exceeds the other dual cultivators because of some of his advantages.

However, the current him is still too weak, and he will not be able to protect himself if people know too much about him, so I hope you two keep his presence a secret.”

Xian Fengʼs words made Xian Xianqin and Xian Xianwu even more curious about Zhang Fei. ”Where is he now? The two of us will go see him right now.”

”You two will meet him when he arrives here later, so you just need to wait patiently.” Xian Feng then looked far away again and monitored Zhang Fei, who had arrived at the market district. ”Hmm? Do you think he is also an alchemist, wife?”

”I donʼt think so.” Shi Qingzhuang denied with a shake of her head. ”His fire element is indeed strong enough for him to become an alchemist, but he doesnʼt seem to have any interest in alchemy, and he only seems interested in those herbs. However, I guess that one of those women is an alchemist, and he probably wants to buy those herbs for her. Do you want to help him buy them?

He doesnʼt seem to have enough coins to buy them.”

”No.” Xian Feng rejected his wifeʼs idea immediately. ”Even though I donʼt know him yet, I can see that his character is similar to mine, so Iʼm sure that he wonʼt like it if we help him without having any relationship between us.”

Shi Qingzhuang nodded in agreement with her husband, but she immediately called someone and instructed him to begin preparing a small banquet while they waited for Zhang Fei and Zhang Lin to arrive.

On the other hand, Xian Xianqin and Xian Xianwu kept looking out and spreading their senses toward the market district, but they naturally couldnʼt find Zhang Fei because Xian Feng hadnʼt even shared his image with them, so they could only blindly guess about him.

Zhang Fei, who was looking at those herbs, let out a heavy sigh. According to Zhang Lingxue, some of the herbs in the alchemy shop were useful for their cultivation, but their prices were too high, and he did not have the coins to buy them.

Zhang Fei could have used jewels to buy them, but he was still unfamiliar with the situation in the kingdom. Moreover, Feng Yao told him that only cultivators with high status could have jewels, and he was a newcomer, so it was impossible for him to take them out to buy them.

Zhang Fei then took Zhang Lin to leave the shop to go look at other shops, but Mei suddenly reminded him. [Master, there are 38 daily gift packs that you havenʼt opened yet; do you want me to open them now?]

ʼYeah, open them.ʼ

===

[You gained 150.000 Qi.]

[You gained 350.000 beast essence.]

[You gained 200.000 female essence.]

[You obtained 20,000 bronze coins.]

[You obtained 1,000 silver coins.]

[You obtained 10 gold coins.]

[You obtained 1 Blood Essence Pill.]

[You obtained 1 Sunfire Liquid.]

[You obtained 1 Golden Lotus Paste.]

===

Despite obtaining a small amount of Qi, female essence, beast essence, and coins, Zhang Fei was still satisfied with them. ʼWhat are the benefits of those three items, Mei?ʼ

[Blood Essence Pill: A pill that boosts the userʼs strength for a short period, enhancing physical abilities and battle prowess by 20%.]

[Sunfire Liquid: A liquid containing the essence of the sunʼs fire, boosting the userʼs fire element techniques by 10%]

[Golden Lotus Paste: A medicinal paste made from the petals of the Golden Lotus, used to treat severe external wounds.]

Zhang Fei nodded slightly after reading the effects of the three. ʼThe effects of the blood essence pill and the sunfire liquid are not bad, and I can use them if I am in a pinch. As for the golden lotus paste, I think it is useless for me because I have my passive healing ability, and I also still have my light element to speed up my healing, so I will give it to my grandmother later.ʼ

After that, Zhang Fei took Zhang Lin to see some other shops that sold materials for making artifacts, arrays, weapons, and others. Although he couldnʼt buy any items for now, he at least had a better understanding of the prices and quality of items in the Xian Kingdom, and he was able to draw up plans for his new shop.

After that, they searched the area for an empty building suitable for his new shop but found that all the buildings in the market district were already occupied. They then proceeded to the commerce district to survey the area, only to find that all the buildings in the district were also occupied by vendors.

Seeing Zhang Fei continuing to think seriously about his plans, Zhang Lin immediately spoke to him. ”Big brother, why donʼt we open a restaurant like in the Sky Jade Realm?

I think that would be easier than us having to compete with materials sellers in the market district or finished goods sellers in the commerce district, especially since we donʼt have materials or items that are good to sell, and the best items you have are those two pills. If we sell our dishes, Iʼm sure that they will sell much better in this kingdom.”

”Yeah, youʼre right.” Zhang Fei then thought again before continuing. ”If we wanted to open a restaurant here, then the best choice would be to bring Yan Zhu here, especially since she has often cooked our dishes.”

Zhang Lin nodded in agreement with that. ”Big Sis Zhuʼs cooking is really delicious, and I really enjoy eating her dishes, so Iʼm sure she can help us to develop our restaurant faster.”

”Iʼll meet Yan Zhu later.” Zhang Fei then pulled Zhang Lin toward the central area. ”Letʼs go; weʼll meet that person now.”

.

A while later, they had arrived at the Tianzhu building, and an old man immediately escorted them to the top floor, where Xian Feng, Shi Qingzhuang, and their two children were waiting for them.

The people in the building were curious about the identities of Zhang Fei and Zhang Lin, but the old man prohibited them from asking any questions. He also instructed them to remain silent, lest Xian Feng punish them.

Xan Fengʼs two children were surprised as the two walked into their room, and Xian Xianwu stared at Zhang Lin in fascination. Unlike her brother, Xian Xianqin seemed to have no interest in Zhang Fei, and she was more curious about his cultivation speed and strength.

Upon noticing Xian Xianwu, Zhang Fei immediately wrapped an intimate hug around Zhang Linʼs waist, causing him to laugh awkwardly and scratch his head.

A slight smirk appeared on Zhang Feiʼs face in response to Xia Xianwuʼs awkwardness, but he and Zhang Lin immediately cupped their hands toward Xian Feng and Shi Qingzhuang. ”Please forgive me for keeping you two waiting, Emperor Xian and Empress Shi.”

Xian Feng shook his head and pointed at the two chairs in front of them. ”Please sit down first, so we can talk in a relaxed situation.”

ʼThis Emperor is really a chill person, huh?ʼ They immediately sat down in front of each other, but Zhang Fei glanced at Xian Xianqin before asking Xian Feng a question. ”Why did you invite me here, Emperor?”

”For starters, I want to know the names of both of you, and I know for sure that you guys are not residents of this realm, so I want to know your realm of origin.” Xian Feng then pointed to his two children. ”My son is Xian Xianwu, and my daughter is Xian Xianqin. As you can see, they are twins.”

”I see.” Zhang Fei then introduced himself and his little sister. ”My name is Zhang Fei, and the woman next to me is one of my wives, Zhang Lin. As for our origin realm, we come from the Sky Jade Realm, one of the realms in the lower realms.”

Zhang Feiʼs confession about his relationship stunned Xian Xianqin and Xian Xianwu, as he introduced Zhang Lin as one of his wives, implying that he had multiple wives. However, they are confused about their relationship because they have the same surname, but they donʼt interrupt their conversation with their parents.

”Do you guys really come from the lower realms? How can you reach these middle realms when your cultivation is still at the level of the ten mortal realms?” Shi Qingzhuang asked. ”Usually, cultivators from the lower realms can only ascend to the middle realms after they reach the seven divine realms, and they will be sent to random realms by the laws of their respective realms.”

”Empress, I know that you and the Emperor have been watching us for several weeks, so you two already know more or less about my abilities, right?” Shi Qingzhuang and Xian Feng nodded to Zhang Fei. ”I heard about this Nine Stars Realm from one of my acquaintances who came from these middle realms, and she told me quite a lot about the situation in this realm.

Since our cultivation was too slow in our home realm, I decided to bring them to this realm, and I chose to build our residence in your kingdomʼs territory because she told me that your kingdom is the safest compared to the other four.”

”Hahaha!” Xian Feng laughed at Zhang Feiʼs last sentence. ”I donʼt know the identity of your acquaintance, but she is right that my kingdom is the safest, and the most dangerous is the Huangfu Kingdom, especially since their Emperor is such an evil guy.”

Zhang Fei nodded to Xian Feng. ”She told me about Emperor Huangfu Shouʼs character, so I naturally will not bring my wives and family members to live in the Huangfu Kingdom.”

”Why did you choose to live so far south?” Shi Qingzhuang asked Zhang Fei again. ”Wouldnʼt it be better if you lived in a city nearby this city?”

”Empress, I have indeed obtained a lot of information about this realm and your Xian Kingdom, but we only arrived here about a month and a half ago. Moreover, our cultivation is still in the ten mortal realms; even your two children can kill us like ants with their current cultivation, so I canʼt possibly bring them to live in the nearby town.

Additionally, they donʼt like town life and prefer to live in remote places, and the majority of them like the sea, so I decided to build our residence near the southern ocean.”

”Then, what is your plan for coming to the capital?”

Zhang Fei immediately explained to them. ”As you have seen before, my family members are very large, and I have to be responsible for all of them, so I plan to open a business. Thatʼs why I came to the capital to look for a building, but all of them are already full. Even if there is an empty building, I donʼt have the coins to rent it, so I thought of preparing another plan for us.”

”What kind of business do you want to open?”

”A restaurant.” Zhang Feiʼs answer surprised the four people. ”Several of my wives and family members have good cooking skills, and we also have a restaurant in our home realm, so I decided that way.”

”How-”

”Please forgive me, Empress, but I have to decline your offer because I donʼt want to depend on anyone, and we still donʼt have a good relationship.” Zhang Fei then took out a red jewel. ”In our home realm, we donʼt use coins for transactions, and we always use jewels for everything.

However, the situation in this realm is different from there, and my acquaintances told me that only people with high status can have them. If you wanted to help us, I would appreciate it if you could exchange my jewels for coins, so I can find a building here and open our restaurant.”

Shin Qingzhuang turned to Xian Feng, who immediately spoke to Zhang Fei. ”If you really want it that way, I will help you exchange your jewels for coins. In this realm, 1 red jewel is worth 1,000,000 bronze coins. 1 green jewel is worth 1000 silver coins, and 1 blue jewel is worth 1 gold coin.

As for the building, I have one big empty building, and you can rent it for 1,000,000 bronze coins per month, or you can buy it for 100,000 gold coins.”

ʼ100,000 gold coins? Doesnʼt that mean the building only costs 100,000 blue jewels?ʼ Zhang Fei then asked Xian Feng. ”Can I see the building first, Emperor?”

”Sure.” Xian Feng then turned to his daughter. ”Xianqin, you can show them the building.”
