Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 679: Recruit A New Cook

After Zhang Fei [5] sent her back to the shop, Yuhe immediately informed Oliver and the others about their discovery in the underwater city. She told them through voice transmission, especially since the shop was still packed with customers, and the existence of the black ten-tailed fox had shocked them greatly.

ʼCan Zhang Fei do something about the evil soul?ʼ Oliver asked.

Yuhe shook her head at him. ʼZhang Fei stated that he must wait for his soul power to reach the divine soul level before he can absorb the evil soul, as it is too strong for him at this moment. What do you think we should do?ʼ

ʼI think you should go back to the underwater city to watch over the place yourself.ʼ Yuhe turned to Sabina. ʼIʼm afraid that those heavenly foxes will come to this realm one day, and they might be able to detect the existence of the evil soul, especially since they are the direct descendants of the ten-tailed fox. Moreover, Zhang Fei said that they could free the evil soul, and the situation would become very dangerous if they managed to do so.ʼ

ʼI agree with Sabina.ʼ Gravir said with a nod. ʼUnfortunately, we are not an aquatic race like you, so we cannot go to the underwater city to protect it. Thus, we can only trust you to monitor and protect the area and report any unwanted incidents to us.ʼ

Persix and the others concurred with their friendsʼ opinions. Yuhe nodded to them. ʼIn that case, I will return to the underwater city right now, and I will immediately notify you if anything happens.ʼ

Zhang Fei [5] was on Earth to retrieve more goods from his companyʼs warehouse, especially since his three shops were quite busy, and his supplies were dwindling rapidly.

Unfortunately, the flow of time on Earth was much slower than in the Nine Stars Realm, so Huang Rongʼs people had difficulty providing so many goods to meet the needs of the three shops.

Zhang Fei [5] decided to bring Huang Rong and Yang Luʼer back to Earth. He instructed Huang Rong and Yang Luʼer to reach out to their acquaintances in other countries, asking them to rent a large warehouse in each country for the purpose of storing the goods he wanted to buy in those countries.

Although the prices of goods in those countries were slightly more expensive, Zhang Fei [5] did not mind it. After all, he no longer needed Earthʼs money and instead needed more resources for cultivation. Furthermore, he planned to open his fourth shop and restaurant in the Bai Kingdom in the near future, which left him with no alternative but to buy them from other countries.

With their extensive business relationships, Huang Rong and Yang Luʼer had no difficulty carrying out Zhang Fei [5]ʼs wishes. However, some of them requested specific rewards for their assistance, particularly items that were sold at the Sky Jade Shop on Earth.

The two women did not mind their requests and agreed to them immediately, especially since those items were only ordinary in the Sky Jade Realm or the Nine Stars Realm, but they were extremely valuable to earthlings.

In two hours, Huang Rong and Yang Luʼer had finished everything, including paying the rent for the warehouses through their acquaintances. The two women asked their subordinates to send the goods requested by their acquaintances as soon as possible, and they also asked their subordinates in each country to take care of everything.

Once they obtained copies of the lease documents for all the warehouses, Zhang Fei [5] immediately sent Huang Rong back to his residence in the Nine Stars Realm. Since the two womenʼs subordinates would take care of everything for him, he just had to wait and take the goods from those warehouses when they were ready.

Since Zhang Fei [5] was impatient to have the two women from the winged race as his wives, he intended to meet Jiang Yinghua and Meng Tianzhi at their apartment in Paris. However, he couldnʼt find them anywhere, and he guessed that they had returned to the Tian Realm, so he decided to return to the Nine Stars Realm.

A while later, Zhang Fei [5] stood above the sky in the Bai Kingdom, and he found that members of the Han Clan had finished renovating his building. ”This way, my fourth shop and restaurant are ready to open, but I have to wait for the stock of goods on Earth, or I wonʼt be able to meet the market demand in this kingdom. Moreover, I still donʼt have a chef for my restaurant here, so I must postpone the opening of both for a few days.”

Zhang Fei [5] then checked the Han Clan on his map and found Han Yuanzhi talking to some people. Instead of meeting her, he went to see Huan Ya at the Bai royal palace.

Wushuang became tense as soon as Zhang Fei [5] appeared in front of her and Huan Ya, but he paid no attention to her. ”Wei Chou sent Qu Qiuxue to this kingdom to look for you, and she will arrive in three days.”

”Hmm?” Huan Ya was surprised about that. ”What does Wei Chou want from me? He asked others to contact me and force me to meet him, and he is now sending Qu Qiuxue after I refused to return.”

”What else? Wei Chou and Qu Qiuxue have a special relationship, and he seems to want you to be his woman.” Zhang Fei [5] then gave the Heart Rupturing Pill to Huan Ya. ”I donʼt need the two of them so you can capture the woman and force her to swallow it, but you can let her go after that.”

”What is the effect of this pill?” Zhang Fei [5] promptly informed Huan Ya, causing Wushuang, who was standing next to them, to shiver in fear. ”Hehe! You are truly wicked, Master. Qu Qiuxue will suffer after she swallows this pill, and she wonʼt be able to do anything to neutralize it.”

Zhang Fei [5] then pointed at Wushuang. ”You wonʼt be able to beat Qu Qiuxue, but she can do it, so let her help you.”

Huan Ya nodded and then asked. ”Do you want to have fun with Wushuang, Master?”

”She is only a pawn to face Li Tiannan.” Zhang Fei [5] immediately refused. ”Report to me if Huangfu Shou gives Wushuang any orders.”

After Zhang Fei [5] disappeared, Huan Ya turned to Wushuang. ”Do you understand now? Huangfu Shou and Li Tiannan may be vicious, but my master is much more vicious than them. If you donʼt want to suffer, youʼd better carry out your duties properly.”

Wushuang clenched her fists tightly without saying anything, and Huan Ya hurriedly left her. ʼDamn it! What can I do to tell Master Tiannan about that man?ʼ

When it was late at night, all the women in the three kingdoms immediately closed their shops and restaurants. They returned to their residences through the teleportation devices installed in the three shops.

Although the results were not as outstanding as in the Xian Kingdom, Zhang Fei [5] was still satisfied with the results of opening the two restaurants and shops in the Yun and Natural Races Kingdoms. Furthermore, he acquired a wide variety of herbs from the natural races, many of which were not yet available at the Sealed World Pearl.

After spending some time with everyone, Zhang Fei [5] sent them to the training space to practice and cultivate. However, Zhang Fei was in seclusion at the Guo Clanʼs lightning pond together with Yun Xinyue, Zhong Yan, and Angela. Liu Qingyu and his other women did manual cultivation in the Cloud Mansion.

Zhang Fei [5] first took Lillea, Janette, and Shi Wu to the Sealed World Pearl, where they planted herbs and herb seeds. He then asked the two Dryads to join Liu Hua and the others, but he asked Shi Wu to join Xian Xianqin and the others to train because she still hadnʼt adapted to two times gravity. Additionally, he asked Shang Yumei to join the others in the training space, starting her training from the basics.

Zhang Fei [5] then accompanied Hong Yao and the six women from Earth to look around the many areas around the residence. Although they could not have sex with him because he was a clone, they were still pleased that he took the time to accompany them.

Feltia [2] did not bring Fyr and the other female demons back to the portable mansion, and she let them train on the demon island for the next few days. Meanwhile, Zhang Fei [1] focused on his partners, and Zhang Fei [4] focused on alchemy.

With Murong Qianying and Hong Xinxin gone, Zhang Xiaolong [3] enjoyed his time with Wu Lianzhi and Shang Xinyu, and he repeatedly teased Shang Yifen.

After this day, nothing significant occurred for the next two days, and they carried out their respective activities in the three kingdoms without any disturbance.

Since he was going to marry Xian Xianqin tomorrow, Zhang Fei decided to use his fifth clone to replace him at the Guo Clanʼs lightning pond. He detected ill intentions from some of the clan members, so he couldnʼt possibly leave Zhong Yan and Angela there unguarded.

Despite Yun Xinyueʼs status as the princess and a prominent member of the Guo Clan, Zhang Fei doubted her ability to prevent her clan members from harming Zhong Yan and Angela.

Zhang Feiʼs worries were unfounded, as Guo Xuehua had already firmly threatened the Guo Clan members to severely punish anyone who dared to disturb Zhong Yan and Angela, even if it meant crippling their cultivation.

Due to her high cultivation, Shang Yumeiʼs progress was the most significant compared to that of people from the Sky Jade Realm, like the Hai Twins and others, or the Nine Stars Realm, like Zhou Shenxin and others.

In just a few days of training in the training space, Shang Yumei had almost adapted to two times gravity, and Zhang Fei was confident that she could fully adapt in the next few days.

Zhang Fei, who had been neglecting his official wives for the past three days due to his seclusion, decided to accompany all of them first, leading to an orgy that lasted until dawn.

In the morning, Zhang Fei brought them all out of the training space, except for Shang Yumei, Ling Long, Zhou Shenxin, and several cultivators from the Sky Jade Realm.

Before Zhang Fei took them out, Feng Yao informed him that the Alchemy Union sent Nanfeng Yunxi specially to meet him, and she would arrive in their realm in a week.

Qian Ying decided to stop practicing because Xian Xianqin was going to marry Zhang Fei soon, and she wanted to help her best friend make the final preparations before their wedding.

Once they finished their breakfast, each went immediately to their respective activities. Zhang Fei brought Xian Xianqin and Qian Ying to the Xian royal palace, especially since Shi Qingzhuang was waiting for them.

Qian Ying felt awkward and afraid of meeting Xian Feng and Shi Qingzhuang again after several decades. Furthermore, she had transformed into a demon, and the Xian emperor was well-known to dislike demons. However, her worries disappeared immediately, especially since both of them welcomed her warmly.

Shi Qingzhuang then took Xian Xianqin and Qian Ying away so her daughter could try on her wedding dress. She also ordered several female servants to help Zhang Fei try on his wedding attire, which looked luxurious and in accordance with the customs of the Xian kingdom.

While trying on his wedding attire, Zhang Fei monitored the system map, and he found that Qu Qiuxue had already arrived at the Bai Kingdom.

However, Wushuang immediately moved to capture Qu Qiuxue. After Huan Ya forced her to swallow the Heart Rupture Pill, she took her away from the kingdom and left her in a distant village.

Since Shi Qingzhuang still needed Xian Xianqin for some other things, Zhang Fei left her and Qian Ying in the Xian royal palace. He then went to Earth and took all the items already available in the warehouses. He immediately returned to the Nine Stars Realm to distribute them to Zhang Lingxue, Tang Zhiyu, and Lillea.

After that, Zhang Fei met Xin Yanluo on the edge of the demon island. She told him that the three ancestors of the Zheng Clan had not yet appeared, and she could not find their whereabouts either.

Zhang Fei immediately checked the Zheng Clan through the system map, but he couldnʼt find the three old demons, which convinced him that they were hiding in a special place covered by a concealment formation.

Next, Zhang Fei checked the Ximen Demon Kingdom, and he found Ximen Gui standing guard not far from Ximen Yueliangʼs room. Additionally, he discovered several powerful demons from the Nu Clan surrounding Ximen Yueliangʼs room.

ʼXimen Changtian and Nu Huangjin should have known about the Zheng Clan, and they were worried that the clan would capture their daughter, so they assigned that old demon specifically to protect her.ʼ Zhang Fei then looked far away as his eyes fell on the map. ʼZhou Xiaochuan will arrive here tonight, but he is still unaware of his situation. Ximen Chuixue and the others have infiltrated deeper into his kingdom, and they managed to capture some of his subordinates. He will definitely wait for Zhou Shenxin and Zhou Hanling before making his move, but I wonʼt send them both to him, and they probably wonʼt dare to go against Ximen Gui.ʼ

Zhang Fei suddenly remembered Gu Hanshuang and Dan Qingying, so he immediately went to their sect. However, they were on a mission with Ning Wu, Ting Ting, Duan Hui, and Hang Yihong. He did not meet the two women directly but sent them a voice transmission asking them to go to the Xian capital after they completed the mission.

”Oh?” Han Yuanzhi was surprised when Zhang Fei suddenly appeared in front of him. ”I didnʼt expect you to have such amazing abilities, and I couldnʼt detect your presence before you appeared. What brought you here all of a sudden? Are you ready to open your shop and restaurant in this kingdom?”

Zhang Fei simply smiled and returned the question. ”Do you know a good cook?”

”Yes.” Han Yuanzhi immediately called someone to meet them. ”The chef I know doesnʼt know your dishes, so you have to teach her to cook them before she can work for you.”

Zhang Fei nodded in understanding. ”I will take her to my restaurant in the Xian capital, and Zhu Yan can teach her about our dishes.”

”I think thatʼs a great idea.” Han Yuanzhi then asked again. ”What about your shop? Are you in need of assistance?”

”No need.” Zhang Fei immediately refused. ”I already have some people for my shop, and Iʼll bring them here when Iʼm ready to open it.”

Before long, a woman in her thirties walked up to them, and Han Yuanzhi immediately introduced her to Zhang Fei. ”Han Bingxing is my niece, and her cooking is delicious, even though her dishes are not comparable to the ones in your restaurant. She wants to learn how to cook your dishes, so Iʼll let her work with you.”

ʼThis old woman! She deliberately sent her niece to me with hidden intentions.ʼ Zhang Fei then watched Han Bingxing for a moment. ”I will take her away now so she can learn our dishes faster, and I will open my restaurant once she is ready.”

ʼDoes this kid not like Bingxing?ʼ Han Yuanzhi then spoke to her niece. ”You can pack first.”

”Yes, Auntie.”

After Han Bingxing left, Han Yuanzhi asked Zhang Fei. ”How about you spend the night here today?”

”I canʼt do it.” Han Yuazhi appeared disheartened due to Zhang Feiʼs second rejection. ”I will marry Xian Xianqin tomorrow, so I have to return to my residence today.”

”I see.” Han Yuanzhi nodded in understanding. ”If thatʼs the case, I wonʼt force you to stay. I hope you can make the time to talk to me, and we can have a better relationship in the future.”

”Sure.”
