Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 439: Shang Yingyue

Before long, they had landed in front of the fortress, especially since they had to report to their senior first. Shang Chenguang immediately brought the three of them down, storing his flying artifact before leading them into the fortress.

Unlike Shang Yaolin and Shang Guangming, who looked calm, Zhang Xiaolong [3] looked anxious, especially since he could feel too many strong pressures from within the fortress, including the two young men who were in charge of guarding the gate.

From the system scan, he knew their names were Huang Fujian and Hao Shihai, and he could also see that their cultivation was at the 1-Moon Divine Expansion Realm, which was more than enough to fend off the cultivators who lived in the Wasteland Realm.

ʼPeople from the upper realms are truly terrifying! These two menʼs cultivation was already so high, but they were only hired to be gatekeepers, so the status gap of everyone there was really big.ʼ Zhang Xiaolong [3] inwardly muttered as he checked the names of the people that appeared on his map, especially those who lived in the middle part of the mountain.

ʼThey are people from clans in the upper realms, huh? All of them were truly strong, but the strongest among them had cultivation at the 1-Moon Divine Fusion Realm, and most of them were at the 5-Moon Divine Manifestation Realm, which meant that they were stronger than Feng Yao.ʼ

The two guards allowed them to enter after Shang Chenguang showed them his identity, so he immediately led Zhang Shang Guangming and the others to the middle area of the mountain. However, the two men continued to look at Zhang Xiaolong [3], who was in Shang Yaolinʼs arms, especially since he was still in his black half-fox form.

ʼHey! Where did those people from the Shang Clan find that fox kid? Furthermore, the fox kidʼs appearance resembles that of a demon fox, and I sense a subtle demonic aura from him.ʼ Huang Fujian asked his partner as he narrowed his eyes towards Zhang Xiaolong [3].

Hao Shiai shook his head in response, but he himself was also curious about Zhang Xiaolong [3]ʼs identity, especially since he could also sense a faint demonic aura from him. ʼI think we should convey that kidʼs presence to our clan members so they can investigate his identity, especially since we canʼt leave this gate.ʼ

Huang Fujian agreed with that, and they immediately contacted several members of their clans, informing them about Zhang Xiaolong [3].

As they climbed to the middle of the mountain, the natives from the Wasteland Realm repeatedly glanced at them, but Zhang Xiaolong [3] could see the hatred in their eyes. After all, the realm was their ancestral land, and they had previously been able to live freely before the cultivators from the upper realm took over their realm by force.

They chose to stay because they genuinely loved their ancestral land and found it difficult to leave, unlike those natives who were willing to relocate. Although the cultivators from the upper realms allowed them to stay, they could no longer live freely like in the past, and they had to live in confinement behind high walls, especially since they kept sending evil people into their realm.

Before long, Zhang Xiaolong [3] and the others had arrived at a large building in the middle area of the mountain, and Shang Chenguang immediately led them inside, where the representatives of all the clans lived together.

Shang Chenguang then led them into one of the rooms, where a young woman was already waiting for them, especially since she had already informed him of their arrival.

The young woman was not pretty, and her oval face was too ordinary, but she had an extraordinarily alluring tall figure covered by a bluish white dress. Her long black hair is left loose with the back held up by a white feathered hairpin, and her two side bangs hang down to her chest.

Her expression is too serious, her eyes are sharp with brown pupils, her cheeks are a bit chubby, and her chin is a bit pointy. Her neck is smooth and long, her F-cup breasts drape across her chest, her waist is slim, her hips are wide, and her buttocks protrude at the back.

ʼScan this woman, Mei.ʼ

Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately took a deep breath after he read Shang Yingyueʼs status, especially since her cultivation was several minor stages above Feng Yaoʼs, and she even had two elements. ʼTch! I have to be cautious around this woman, or sheʼll kill me if I act suspiciously.ʼ

[Hahaha! Youʼre not acting like you usually do, master. Normally, youʼre not afraid of women, but now, youʼre afraid of Shang Yingyue.]

Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately protested to Mei. ʼHey! The women Iʼve met so far arenʼt as strong as Shang Yingyue, so they canʼt compare to her, and she can kill me before I even blink.ʼ

[Well, thatʼs true. However, this woman is still an ordinary woman, and she is nothing special compared to a phoenix like Feng Yao. I am confident that your demon abilities will have an impact on her, so thereʼs no need to fear her. Instead, you can use your demon pheromone to make her fall for you.

Unfortunately, the difference in your cultivation is like heaven and earth now, so her yin qi is too strong for the current you, and your body wonʼt be able to absorb it.]

Zhang Xiaolong [3] shook his head slightly after hearing that, but he did not refute Meiʼs words. Even so, he wouldnʼt act rashly by doing such things to Shang Yingyue, especially since she was too strong.

”Hmm?” Zhang Xiaolong [3] was shocked because Shang Yingyue was suddenly standing in front of him, and she immediately grabbed the back of his collar before lifting him from Shang Yaolinʼs embrace. ”A mix breed between an ordinary fox beast and a demon fox, huh? Where did you find this kid? Why did you bring such a small kid to this realm? Have you forgotten about the climate in this realm?

I admit, this kid is special because his cultivation has already reached the 6-Star Soul Realm, but he will not be able to survive the unpredictable climate in this realm, and he will probably die in a few days.”

Sheng Chenguang and the others laughed in their hearts because Shang Yingyue regarded Zhang Xiaolong [3] as an ordinary fox beast, but they also felt relieved because she couldnʼt recognize that he was a heavenly fox. ”We found him in the Netherworld Realm, and Yaolin is very fond of this kid, so I purposely brought him here to accompany her in serving her punishment.

Anyway, you donʼt have to worry about him, and Iʼm sure he wonʼt have any issues with the unpredictable climate in this realm.”

”Up to you then.” Shang Yingyue then returned Zhang Xiaolong [3] to Shang Yaolin. ”I have heard of your failure in the Netherworld Realm, and our patriarch is truly furious that his hundreds of years of planning have miserably failed; even the portal connecting that realm with the Sky Jade Realm has been destroyed now.

Thatʼs why he asked me to punish you both severely, so you should be prepared to face it for the next hundred years, and I will never be merciful to you.”

Shang Yingyueʼs words caused Shang Yaolin and Shang Guangming to smile bitterly, but Shang Chenguang immediately tried to persuade her to give them some leeway, especially since they were his nephew and niece, and he didnʼt want them to suffer too severely.

Unfortunately, Shang Yingyue immediately rejected Shang Chenguang, and she even threatened him. ”I know that they are your family, and I respect you as a senior. However, you know our patriarchʼs character, so I must reject your request and punish them according to his orders. If you want to beg for leniency for them, then you can beg him, and I will give them leniency if he agrees to it.”

Shang Chenguang wanted to plead with Shang Yingyue again, but Shang Yaolin and Shang Guangming immediately stopped him, especially since they were sure that he would report it to their patriarch, and he would punish him as well if he found out about it.

Shang Chenguang released a heavy sigh and nodded to Shang Yingyue. ”In that case, I will entrust them to you, and I will return to the Red Sun Realm directly.”

After that, Shang Chenguang immediately walked to the back room, especially since there was a portal there that connected the Wasteland to the Red Sun Realm directly, so he could return there directly.

Shang Yingyue then took Shang Yaolin and Shang Guangming to the northern island because their Shang Clan residence was there, but they didnʼt need to leave the fortress to go there. They only needed to go to the northern part of the mountain, especially since the walls surrounded the entire mountain, and there were four gates connecting to each island on the four sides.

”Yow! Arenʼt you guys Shang Yaolin and Shang Guangming? I didnʼt expect to see you two in this realm! It seems like you two have failed your task, huh?” A young man with spiky red hair immediately spoke to them sarcastically as soon as he saw them, but his gaze suddenly fell on Zhang Xiaolong [3]. ”Huh? You two even brought a demon fox kid from that realm, huh?

Unfortunately, he wonʼt be able to last long in this realm, and Iʼm sure that he wonʼt be able to see the sunrise tomorrow.”

ʼTch! This bastard underestimates me too much!ʼ Zhang Xiaolong [3] cursed inwardly before asking Mei to scan his status. ʼShang Wuzi, huh? His cultivation is in the 5-Moon Divine Expansion realm, similar to Yaolin and Guangming, and he is definitely not a good person, so I have to be wary of him.ʼ

*Smack*

”Ouch!” Shang Wuzi screamed loudly and looked at Shang Yingyue. ”Why did you hit my head that hard, Senior Yingyue?”

”Shut up!” Shang Yingyue glared as she released a bit of her aura to suppress Shang Wuzi, and then she pointed in another direction. ”You better go there quickly and help the others mine those crystals! Otherwise, I will increase your working hours, and you will work in the mine for a whole week without eating.”

”No! Donʼt do that, Senior Yingyue! Iʼll help them right now!” Shang Wuzi immediately hastily fled away.

Shang Yaolin and Shang Guangming laughed at that, but they immediately shut their mouths when Shang Yingyue glared at them, and they hurriedly followed her into their residence. She then explained to them the placeʼs rules, including their duties and working hours.

Shang Guangming sighed heavily in his heart because Shang Yingyue ordered him to work in the crystal mine like Shang Wuzi and the others, but he did not dare to refuse her order, so he immediately took the tools and went into the mine.

Even though Shang Yingyue didnʼt order her to work in the mines like her brother, Shang Yaolin still felt annoyed because she ordered her to do household chores, such as sweeping and cleaning their residence. After all, her status in their clan was quite high, so she never did such rough work, and the servants usually did such works for them.

”Anyway, there are dozens of women from our clan in this residence, but most of them are much older and stronger than you, so youʼd better listen to their words, especially Shang Xiaoyin.” Shang Yaolin frowned immediately after Shang Yingyue mentioned that name. ”You should still remember her character, right?

That brute girl doesnʼt like it when people contradict her, so you have to be careful of her, or sheʼll bully you endlessly, and youʼll be the one to suffer.”

After that, Shang Yingyue immediately left the residence and returned to her private quarters, and Zhang Xiaolong [3] then asked Shang Yaolin, who led him to an empty room. ”Who is that Shang Xiaoyin, Big Sis? Why do you seem afraid of her?”

”Honestly, I am not afraid of Shang Xiaoyin, especially since her cultivation is not higher than mine.

However, her status is higher than mine in our Shang Clan because she is our patriarchʼs niece, and she is also a body cultivator, so her physique is really strong.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] was surprised by Shang Yaolinʼs answer, especially since he had never met a body cultivator in the Sky Jade Realm. ”Donʼt you know about body cultivators?”

”No.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] shook his head at Shang Yaolin. ”My father hasnʼt explained too much about the cultivation world, so I still have little knowledge about many things.”

”I see.” Shang Yaolin then took Zhang Xiaolong [3] to sit on the bed. ”In the world of cultivation, there are various cultivation paths: the ordinary path, the dual cultivation path, the sword path, the soul path, the body path, and several others. I am classified as an ordinary cultivator, particularly due to my lack of talent in other paths, while you are a dual cultivator.

Sword cultivators, who solely concentrate on swordsmanship, are those who follow the sword path. People who choose the soul path are soul cultivators, and all their abilities are related to the soul. Shang Xiaoyin chose the body path; therefore, she is a body cultivator.”

”Do you know about how to become a body cultivator and the stages of body cultivation, Big Sis?” Zhang Xiaolong [3] curiously asked, especially since he had no information about them. Moreover, he felt that the body path would be very suitable for him, so he wanted to know how to become a body cultivator.

”Are you interested in body cultivation?” Zhang Xiaolong [3] responded to Shang Yaolin with a nod. ”Unfortunately, I have never studied body cultivation, so I cannot tell you anything about it. Although my brother is not as expert as Shang Xiaoyin in that path, he is still a body cultivator, so he must have a lot of information about it, and you can ask him after he comes back from the mines.”

”All right, I will ask Big Brother later.”

Shang Yaolin smiled and walked over to the wardrobe in the room, and she immediately changed her dress into the workerʼs uniform that was already provided inside. ”I will start working on my assignment, so you better not go anywhere and wait for me in this room. Do you understand?”

”Yes.” After Shang Yaolin left, Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately laid on the bed, opened his map, and began searching for the locations of the Shang Clan members, particularly Shang Xiaoyin. He found her with many other women in a bathhouse, and he immediately checked their identities one by one.

After that, he directed his focus to the crystal mine, especially since he was curious about those crystals. ʼSigh! Iʼll wait for them to come back, and Iʼll try asking them about those crystals.ʼ
