Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 657: Qian Ying Wakes Up

Zhou Shenxinʼs jaw dropped as soon as Zhang Fei brought her to his residence. Many people had gathered there, and four large tables were already laden with numerous dishes. However, their numbers were not as large as they should have been, especially since some chose to remain in the training space, and many of them had already left the residence to train in the forest.

Zhang Fei [1] did not bring his partners out of the training space; he dual cultivated and dual soul cultivated with each of them at the same time. Feltia [2] also did the same thing as the first clone; she dual cultivated and dual soul cultivated with each partner in turn.

Zhang Fei [4] had already brought Zilvora, Ilsath, Orith, and Balena to the northern region of the Sky Jade Realm. The four female demons had been training in the training space for two weeks, and he wanted to assess their progress as demon cultivators. Additionally, he needed to complete the new daily quest, which involved hunting beasts.

Zhang Fei [5] went to his new building in the Yun Kingdom. He continued renovating his shop, especially since he wanted to open it earlier than the original schedule.

”They are my wives, partners, family members, and friends.”

”Who is this young lady, Feiʼer?” Zhang Chen immediately inquired, glancing at Zhou Shenxin with a smile.

”Haha.” Zhang Fei laughed before telling the Zhou Princess their identities one by one. ”Grandma, she is the first princess of the Zhou Kingdom, and she is your future granddaughter-in-law, Zhou Shenxin.”

Zhou Shenxin felt embarrassed when Zhang Fei introduced her to them in such a manner, particularly considering that they had only met twice and she still had no feelings for him.

Zhang Chen was taken aback for a moment, but she immediately grabbed Zhou Shenxinʼs hand and pulled her to sit beside her. ”Since you are Feiʼerʼs future wife, you can join us, and I want to know more about you.”

”Since when do you have a relationship with Zhou Shenxin, Fei?” Xian Xianqin asked.

Yun Xinyu also asked. ”Has she accepted you as her future husband?”

Xia Changyue informed them first. ”They met four days ago, and Zhang Fei seduced her directly. Since he had brought Zhou Shenxin here, she would be part of his extended family in the future.”

Zhang Fei shamelessly pulled Xian Changyue into his embrace. ”What about you? Are you willing to be part of my big family?”

”You should forget about your desire to get me.” Xian Changyue refused and pushed Zhang Fei back. ”I would rather live as a single woman for the rest of my life than have to share a husband with dozens or maybe hundreds of other women.”

After she said that, Xian Changyue quickly sat on an empty chair and started enjoying her breakfast with the others.

”Haha.” Xian Xianqin softly laughed as she hugged Zhang Feiʼs arm. ”Aunt Changyueʼs character is similar to Hu Liliʼs, but she is a little harder to get because she has never been with any man. They will give you a tough challenge to get them, so you have to try hard to get them, and you need to force them a little.”

”Are you okay if Aunt Changyue becomes his wife?” Yun Xinyue asked Xian Xianqin.

Xian Xianqin casually nodded. ”Do you still need to think about my relationship with my aunt? Have you forgotten that several of his wives are his blood family?”

Yun Xinyue naturally did not forget about it, especially since it was one of the reasons she had difficulty accepting Zhang Feiʼs relationship.

”All right, you donʼt need to think about it, Xinyue.” Zhang Fei then brought the two princesses to sit with his other wives, where they started their breakfast and engaged in light conversation.

After they finished breakfast, Zhang Lingxue took the Chu Sisters to the Sky Jade Shop, and Liu Hua took the Wen Twins to the Sky Jade Restaurant.

Chu Xing, Wei Luan, Lin Dongʼer, Mu Lingshu, Shi Wu, Shi Xi, Xu Lingʼer, and Guo Lan also visited the Xian Capital to shop for personal necessities.

Wang Xiaofeng, Wang Zhuxian, Hu Xiufu, Ming Hao, and Ming Yanyu decided to go to other places for sightseeing, especially since they had not gone anywhere since they arrived in the Nine Stars Realm.

Zhang Fei had no problem with their wishes because the situation in the Xian Capital was much safer and more conducive. He decided to send Zhong Yan, Tang Ziyu, Ye Lian, and Zhou Ziqin to the capital of the Yun Kingdom to help his fifth clone.

Zhang Fei then sent Lillea and Janette to the capital of the Natural Racesʼ Kingdom. The two Dryads have decided to manage their new shop and restaurant in the kingdom, which requires them to familiarize themselves with the local conditions and establish connections with other natural races.

Huang Rong and the six women from Earth chose to explore the area around the residence. Zhang Fei asked Boitata, Lei Que, and the other beast contracts to accompany them, as they were not cultivators and could easily be killed by the beasts.

Zhang Lin brought the hippocampus, Hai Ma, to the southern ocean. Shen Yu and Shen Xueyi also joined the two, especially since they were sea serpents and sometimes missed the ocean. Angela, the rainbow fish demon, also went there to enjoy herself.

Of all his wives, Ru Xue and Liu Qingyu remained in the training space and focused on their training in healing techniques under Elmyraʼs guidance. Hu Yue, along with Hu Lili and several others, concentrated on her training using the gravity feature, particularly since she had lagged behind her other sisters.

To Zhang Feiʼs surprise, Virgil and Ursula asked him to send them to the Netherworld Realm to join Zhang Wuji and Yan Zhixiu, mainly because they wanted to increase their demon power. He immediately agreed to their wishes and sent them there.

Zhang Chen and Qing Yi asked Zhou Shenxin to accompany them to chat, and the Zhou Princess was pleased to do so. After all, they treated her warmly, unlike her father or the people in her kingdom.

Zhang Fei was satisfied to see Zhou Shenxin, especially because she looked beaming when she talked with his mother and grandmother.

Zhang Fei had already brought Xian Xianqin and Yun Xinyue into the Yin-Yang Space, but the Yun Princess felt strange seeing nine naked women. Seven of them were focused on cultivating in their respective rooms; one woman kept screaming and pulling the chains on her hands and feet, and the other woman seemed nonchalant to their presence.

”Isnʼt she Ling Long? Since when did you lock her up here?”

”After Feng Yao helped me defeat Huang Lian and Huangfu Ziyuan four days ago, I brought Ling Long here. As you can see, she doesnʼt feel depressed and is enjoying her time here instead.” Zhang Fei then led them to Qian Yingʼs room. ”I sense that she is mentally stable, so I will try to wake her up, and I hope she is back to normal.”

”Yes, please wake her up, Fei.” Xian Xianqin really missed her best friend, and she wanted to talk and joke with Qian Ying again like in the past.

Yun Xinyue knew about Xian Xianqin and Qian Yingʼs relationship. She then embraced the Xian princess. ”Iʼm sure sheʼll be fine, and you can hang out with her again soon.”

”Yeah.”

After he had undone his dream imprisonment from Qian Yingʼs subconscious, Zhang Fei immediately channeled his light Qi into her body to wake her up. ʼDo you think her condition will be normal, Mei? Or should I modify her memories and erase everything that happened after she fell into the demonʼs control?ʼ

[Letʼs wake her up first, Master. If Qian Yingʼs mental state worsens when she wakes up, you can use your memory manipulation ability to erase those bad memories.]

ʼAll right.ʼ A while later, Zhang Fei had already withdrawn his light qi back and stood beside the two princesses. ”Letʼs wait for her to wake up, and we can see the results after he wakes up.”

After they waited a few minutes, they heard a soft moan from Qian Yingʼs mouth. He slowly opened his eyes, but his gaze was still blank like a doll, which caused Xian Xianqinʼs heart to tighten.

However, it was only temporary, as Qian Ying had slept for too long, and her eyes gradually regained their brilliance. ”Where am I?”

”Ying.”

Hearing her soft call, Qian Ying turned to Xian Xianqin, who had already started crying. ”Qin.”

Xian Xianqinʼs body trembled after hearing that, especially since Qian Ying always called her that before she fell into the hands of the demon. The Xian Princess stretched out her right hand and unsteadily walked forward to approach her best friend. ”Ying... Ying...”

”Donʼt come any closer, Qin.” Xian Xianqin immediately stopped and looked at Qian Ying, who was trying to get up with difficulty. ”My memories have returned, but I can still remember everything. Iʼve turned into a demon, and I tried to kill you over and over again.”

”No.” Xian Xianq shook her head vigorously and immediately jumped to hug Qian Ying. ”I donʼt care that youʼve become a demon! I donʼt care about your past actions! You didnʼt do it because you wanted to but because those demons ordered you to kill me!”

”But-”

”No buts!” Xian Xianqin shouted and hugged Qian Ying very tightly. ”I have lost you once, but you have come back to me now, and I donʼt want to lose you again.”

”Qin.” Qian Ying called out softly, and her trembling hands quickly wrapped around Xian Xianqinʼs body. She immediately closed her eyes and hugged her best friend back, and the two cried in each otherʼs arms.

When Xian Xianqin and Qian Ying finally reunited after decades, it moved Yun Xinyue to tears, but she smiled with joy, feeling happy for them.

Zhang Fei breathed a sigh of relief because Qian Ying was back to normal, and he didnʼt need to use his memory manipulation to alter her memories.

ʼKid! Try checking the girlʼs soul to make sure that there is nothing negative left.ʼ Ma Kuangyu suddenly spoke to Zhang Fei.

Hearing that, Zhang Fei immediately used his demon eyes to check Qian Yingʼs soul, but he found nothing negative about it other than her hatred for the demon. ʼSheʼs fine, Old Ma.ʼ

ʼItʼs good if you donʼt find anything negative in that girlʼs soul.ʼ Ma Kuangyu then asked him. ʼWhat are your plans for Nalan Yushuʼs soul? Donʼt you want to absorb her soul power?ʼ

ʼNo.ʼ Zhang Fei replied with a slight shake of his head. ʼI want to try to forge a soul weapon, and I will use her soul as its soul. However, I probably canʼt use her soul right away, especially since we have no ties other than my slave mark, so I have to do something to her first to be able to turn her into a weapon soul.ʼ

ʼIsnʼt that easy?ʼ Ma Kuangyu then conveyed his idea. ʼAll you need to do is dual soul cultivate with her, and your soul mark on her soul will prevent Nalan Yushu from harming you. Her soul power surpasses that of all the women by your side, including those in the Wasteland Realm.ʼ

Zhang Fei immediately agreed with that. ʼYeah, youʼre right. Iʼll do it with Nalan Yushu soon, and I want to reach the Heavenly Soul as soon as possible.ʼ

After some time, the two women finally stopped crying. Xian Xianqin then assisted Qian Ying in getting up, taking into account that her body was still weak due to her prolonged sleep. ”You still remember Xinyue, right?”

”Yeah.” Qian Ying nodded before saying to Yun Xinyue. ”Long time no see.”

”Long time no see.” Yun Xinyue replied with a nod. ”Youʼre back now, so Xianqin can let go of all the burdens in her heart.”

Qian Ying then turned to Zhang Fei. ”Thank you for helping me remove the Shadow Oblivion Seal from my memories.”

”No need.” Zhang Fei pointed at Xian Xianqin. ”I donʼt want Qinʼer to continue to be sad and feel guilty towards you, and Iʼm also lucky that Old Ma told me how to get rid of it, or else I wouldnʼt be able to do it.”

”Ying.” Qian Ying turned to Xian Xianqin. ”Zhang Fei is my future husband.”

Qian Ying smiled at that. ”I still remember your closeness with him at the Star Tower, so I know that he is your future husband. Anyway, congratulations, you can finally move on from Big Brother Aoxian.”

”Hehehe.” Xian Xianqin giggled in response. ”Actually, Zhang Fei has many secrets, and one of them is that he is a demon.”

”Huh?” Qian Ying turned to Zhang Fei in shock. ”Are you really a demon? Why canʼt I sense any demon aura from you?”

Zhang Fei immediately transformed into his lust demon lord form, shocking Qian Ying further when she sensed his demon aura. ”Unlike your demon race, which focuses more on assassination, my demon race is a lust demon. Others may not accept your demon identity, but Qinʼer and the people around me will accept you with open arms.”

Qian Ying released a sigh of relief and hugged Xian Xianqinʼs arm. ”Honestly, I want to go home to my family, but Iʼm sure they will reject me because they really hate demons from the bottom of their hearts. The demons also kidnapped me, which likely intensified their hatred. Since Qin is your future wife, I hope I can live with you two, and I will help you with anything.”

”Itʼs okay if you want to live with us, and Qinʼer will be happy with that.” Xian Xianqin smiled broadly, listening to Zhang Fei. ”Your cultivation is indeed in the seven divine realms, but your demon rank is still low, and your combat ability is below mine. Therefore, you must improve both your demon rank and combat ability before you can assist me. I can assist you in increasing your demon power, but you must work on yourself to enhance your combat abilities.”

Zhang Fei then gave Qian Ying some basic pills and his Yang Qi, which embarrassed her after he explained it. He also gave him some demon resources he had obtained from Cain and the bloodstones he had obtained in the Wasteland Realm.

Yun Xinyue wanted to ask Zhang Feiʼs Yang Qi, especially since Xian Xianqin could break through faster because of it. Moreover, it also helped the Xian Princess to increase her physical strength, but she felt embarrassed to say so.

”Here.” Zhang Fei directly gave Yun Xinyue several bottles of his Yang Qi. ”If you drink it regularly, you will break through to the Seven Divine Realms faster, and you can adapt to the heavy gravity more easily.”

Yun Xinyue shyly accepted them and stored them directly in her storage ring. ”Thank you.”

”Fei, what are your plans for Ying?” Qian Ying also looked at Zhang Fei curiously.

Zhang Fei immediately told them about the demon fox group. ”Qian Yingʼs demon abilities are related to assassination, so she can join Huaʼer and the Wen Twins, and she will make my force stronger. However, my goal is not limited to this realm or other realms within these middle realms, and my goal extends to the upper realms and beyond.”

”Upper realms and beyond?” Qian Ying was truly shocked by that.

”My ultimate goal is to become the strongest in this universe, and I will use any means to achieve it.” Zhang Feiʼs words shocked Qian Ying even more. ”You may think my ambition is too big, but I have many things to realize my goal. After you live with us, you will know more about me, and you will definitely change your mind.”

Qian Ying took a deep breath before nodding. ”All right, I will work hard to improve myself, and I will help you with all my might to achieve your ultimate goal.”

”Thatʼs good.” Zhang Fei then sent Xian Xianqin and Qian Ying to the training space, but Yun Xinyue chose to join them, so he also sent her there.

Zhang Fei then went to see Ling Long, asked her to get dressed, and took her out of the Yin-Yang Space afterward.
