Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 688: With Two Women

”What do you think about that, Guanqiu?” Meng Qi asked her sister.

Meng Guanqiu nodded to her. ”Honestly, Zhang Feiʼs offer is fantastic, and our Meng clan will be stronger if we go to the Nine Stars Realm. All members of those clans are his wivesʼ families, so they naturally follow him to that realm. As for our clan, we donʼt have a good relationship with him, and weʼve only met him a few times, so I hesitate to accept his offer.”

”Thatʼs why I didnʼt accept his offer right away, and I discussed it with you first.” Meng Qi paused for a few moments. ”However, an opportunity like this wonʼt come twice, and weʼll be the ones losing out if we let this chance go. Moreover, the Nine Stars Realm is much bigger than our realm, so we donʼt need to stay with them, and we can look for another place to relocate our clan.”

Meng Guanqiu did not deny that they would be at a loss if they missed such a good opportunity. ”Unfortunately, our clan members are too weak, and we only have two heaven realm cultivators. I think it is too risky for us to stay in other areas of the realm, and we cannot possibly protect ourselves if those powerful cultivators attack us. If that happens, we and our clan could be wiped out forever.”

”What if we move them in the future?” Meng Guanqiu raised her eyebrows in response to Meng Qiʼs question. ”We can hand over the affairs of our clan here to Meng Zhuo, and we will stay in that realm. Once we have become stronger and know more about the situation in that realm, we can ask Zhang Fei for help to move them there. Given that he personally offered us this opportunity, I believe he will be willing to assist us.”

Upon hearing that, Meng Guanqiu fell into deep thought, considering Meng Qiʼs idea carefully. ”I think we can do that, Big Sis. Although there are still many evil deeds happening in this realm, the situation is much more peaceful after those heretics disappear, so I think Meng Zhuo should be able to handle our clanʼs affairs while weʼre gone.”

”In that case, you can discuss this matter with Meng Zhuo and the others first, and we will go with Zhang Fei to that realm when he comes to us.” Meng Guanqiu immediately agreed and left Meng Qi to rest.

Meng Qi immediately sat cross-legged on the bed, but she somehow felt uneasy, as if something was bothering her mind. ʼSigh! I hope my guess is wrong.ʼ

After they had sorted out all the medical equipment in the Sky Jade Realm, Zhang Fei stored everything in the system inventory. He then took Ru Xue to his shop and restaurant in the Heavenly Sword City to collect the earnings and replenish the stock, and they went to the Yin-Yang Pavilion to meet Shen Yang and Shen Hao afterward.

After all, Shen Yang helped Zhang Fei manage his shop in the southern river city, and Shen Hao helped him sell Earthʼs items in the sect, so he went to them to collect the earnings and replenish the stock.

Zhang Fei left Ru Xue in his room at the sect, and he went to see Li Mengmeng to ask her about the evil nine-tailed fox. Unfortunately, she had never heard of it, and she couldnʼt give him an answer on the matter. ”Since you are the ten-tailed foxʼs successor, I think only you can deal with its evil soul. However, I do not recommend you absorb his evil soul, and it would be better if you destroy it when you have the power to do so.”

”Why is that?”

”Shouldnʼt you already know the answer?” Zhang Fei raised his eyebrows for a moment before nodding to Li Mengmeng. ”Since his actions weakened himself, the ten-tailed fox must have had a special reason to discard his evil soul and imprison it in that place.”

”Yeah, youʼre right.” Zhang Fei nodded in understanding. ”At first, I thought I could strengthen my soul power if I absorbed his evil soul, but your words made me think again. However, Iʼm curious about the specific reasons behind the ten-tailed foxʼs decision, and I plan to wait until I meet his other souls before making a decision.”

”I donʼt know where the ten-tailed foxʼs other souls are located, but one of them should be in my Evergreen Spirit Haven.” Zhang Fei looked at Li Mengmeng in surprise. ”Like in the spirit forest, he also left a statue of him in our sacred place. It never gave us any reaction, but I thought you could activate it, especially since you activated one before.”

Zhang Fei let out a soft sigh because the Evergreen Spirit Haven was located in the upper realms, and he still could not go there with his current strength and abilities. ”Iʼll go back now, and Iʼll come back if I have any other questions for you.”

”All right, you can come to me anytime you want.” After Zhang Fei left, Li Mengmeng fell into deep thought, and his story about the evil nine-tailed fox weighed on her mind. ”What exactly was the reason behind his decision to discard his evil soul? Could it be that he couldnʼt control his evil soul? Or did he do it for some other reason? Hmm? Iʼll see my grandfather now, as he might have some knowledge about the matter.”

On the other hand, Zhang Fei went to look for the lily couple in their room, but he only found Hong Xuan there, and Ying Sha was nowhere to be found.

”Why did you come here again?” Hong Xuan asked Zhang Fei as soon as he sneaked into her room.

Zhang Fei smiled and walked toward Hong Xuan, gently lifting her chin. ”Donʼt you already know my reason? I already said that I wanted you and Ying Sha, so I came here to see you.”

”I admit that you are extraordinary, and your Yang Qi helped us break through one minor stage in less than a month.” Hong Xuan then slapped Zhang Feiʼs hand away. ”We will never be your partners, so you better forget about us and donʼt come to us again.”

”Unfortunately, Iʼm not a man who gives up easily, and I will do anything to get what I want. Since I have set my sights on you two, you guys will definitely be mine one day in the future.” Zhang Fei then placed several bottles of his Yang Qi in front of Hong Xuan, causing her to raise an eyebrow. ”Before that, you two must cultivate as best as you can using my Yang Qi, or you guys will be too weak to follow me to the higher realms.”

After Zhang Fei vanished, Hong Xuan sighed softly, took one of the bottles, and examined it. ”After cultivating with his Yang Qi, I realized that normal cultivation was too slow for me. If this continues, Ying Sha and I will become dependent on his Yang Qi, and we wonʼt be able to resist him anymore.”

Despite her thoughts, Hong Xuan drank Zhang Feiʼs Yang Qi before cultivating it.

Zhang Fei and Ru Xue were already in the Xian Capital, walking together and looking for a suitable location for the clinic.

”Husband, isnʼt the second floor of your shop still empty?”

Zhang Fei nodded at her. ”Do you want to use the second floor for your clinic? Unfortunately, the place is not big, so you can only accept a few patients at a time.”

”I think thatʼs fine.” Ru Xue replied with a nod. ”My healing technique is not yet at its peak, so I canʼt possibly accept many patients at once. Moreover, Lingxue is always on standby there every day, so my patients can directly buy pills from her.”

”Since you want it like that, we can install your medical equipment there, and you can start opening your clinic immediately.” Zhang Fei then asked her. ”What about the supply of modern medicine to treat illnesses that have nothing to do with cultivation?”

Ru Xue thought for some time before giving her answer. ”I think Iʼll just focus on minor illnesses, so we donʼt have to buy a lot of medicine from Earth, and weʼll just buy what we need.”

”I donʼt know anything about modern medicine. You can compile the list of medicines by yourself, and I will ask Huang Rongʼs subordinates to purchase them according to your needs.” After that, Zhang Fei brought Zhang Lingxue to the Sky Jade Shop, and they started renovating the second floor to use as her clinic.

After they had been in seclusion in the Guo Clanʼs lightning pond for a week, Zhong Yan and Angela successfully broke through to the second stage of the lightning body technique. Not only did their bodies gain strength, but they also significantly increased their lightning element to the advanced stage, and their lightning elemental law also reached the intermediate stage.

Zhang Fei [5] then spoke to them. ”For the time being, I will send you two back to the training ground. You can try to adapt to your new strength by using the battle simulation. Once you have perfectly adapted, I will bring you two to this place again.”

”All right.” Zhong Yan and Angela immediately agreed with that.

Before sending the two women to the training space, Zhang Fei [5] questioned Yun Xinyue. ”Do you also want to go back there? This lightning pond isnʼt very useful for you, and it would be better if you focused on practicing using the gravity feature.”

”Yeah, youʼre right.” Yun Xinyue answered with a nod. ”In that case, you can send the three of us there, and I will train with the others.”

After he sent the three women into the training space, Zhang Fei [5] jumped onto Lei Queʼs back again. ”Now that itʼs just the two of us, you can fly higher and enter the lightning source, and we will absorb this lightning directly from the source.”

”Yes, Master.”

In the secluded house, Zhang Xiaolong [3] soaked in the wooden tub while absorbing the Jianshen Liquid. Although his lightning body technique had reached the half-perfection stage, his body cultivation level had yet to break through to the Blood Condensing Stage, so he did not want to waste time.

Moreover, the situation in the Wasteland Realm remains calm and peaceful. The two women continued to inform Zhang Xiaolong [3] about the changes in the Shang Clan, allowing him to focus fully on improving his body cultivation level.

”What happened?” Hong Xinxin questioned Murong Qianying after noticing her ugly expression.

Murong Qianying released a soft sigh. ”Chongyun just informed me that Shang Ziyuan already knows about Shang Baixi and Shang Xiaoyinʼs situation, and she will come to this realm soon.”

”Isnʼt that too late?”

Murong Qianying nodded at her. ”Shang Baixi and Shang Xiaoyin left this realm two weeks ago, and no one knows their destination. Moreover, this universe is so vast, and finding them in the vastness of the universe is much harder than finding a needle in a haystack. Anyway, we donʼt need to think about them, especially since Shang Ziyuan wonʼt dare to do anything in Shang Huaqiangʼs absence.”

”Where do you think Shang Huaqiang and Fei Qinyuan went?”

”Where else?” Murong Qianying responded with a shrug. ”I still donʼt understand why Shang Huaqiang is so determined to take over the Sky Jade Realm, but the portal connecting the realms is now destroyed, so he canʼt use those demons to invade it. Therefore, I believe they went to the Xianjin Realm to buy another teleportation portal, but I heard that Senior Gong Ren has already rejected them, so they will go to Senior Cheng Gaoji to buy one.”

”I see.” Hong Xinxin nodded in understanding. ”Unlike Senior Gong Ren, Senior Cheng Gaoji never thinks about the fate of others as long as he can get a lot of benefits, so I believe that he will be willing to sell his teleportation portal to Shang Huaqiang and Fei Qinyuan.”

Zhang Xiaolong [3], who was listening to their conversation, immediately asked, ”Who is the best between Gong Ren and Cheng Gaoji?”

”Gong Ren.” Both women answered simultaneously. ”He is the best formation array in the Xianyin Realm, and Cheng Gaojiʼs ability is second only to his.”

”I recall that my children found you in the Netherworld Realm, so you should be familiar with many demons there, correct? Are you worried about them?” Murong Qianying asked him.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded at her. ”I have lived in that realm for quite some time, and I know many good demons there, such as the Old Demon Tree, Arbeola. Even though he was powerful, he never intimidated me, and he always protected me from other demons. Big Sis Yaolin told me about Shang Huaqiangʼs attempt to control them through the fake demon emperor, but some people foiled his plan. Since they have regained their peace, I donʼt want them to live in oppression anymore.”

”I can understand your feelings about those demons, but you canʼt do anything to help them. Once they get a teleportation device from Cheng Gaoji, Iʼm sure Shang Huaqiang will send someone to control those demons again, and he will definitely order them to invade the Sky Jade Realm right away.” Murong Qianying rubbed Zhang Xiaolong [3]ʼs head and continued. ”Even we donʼt dare to fight them openly, so you can forget about them and focus on yourself.”

Upon hearing that, Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately devised plans in his mind to prevent it from happening. Back then, the portal was sealed by the ancestors of the Sky Jade Realm, so Shang Huaqiang couldnʼt directly invade the realm, and they had to break the seal first. However, if he used a new teleportation portal, the situation would change, and he could immediately order those demons to invade the realm. ”Do you think Cheng Gaoji has a teleportation portal ready?”

”I canʼt say for sure, but he might have one ready.”

Hong Xinxin then asked him. ”Are you thinking of going to the Netherworld Realm to warn them?”

”I canʼt help them fight Shang Huaqiang, but I can at least tell them about this matter so they can prepare themselves. Unfortunately, my strength is still too low to go there by myself, and I also donʼt have a flying artifact.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] looked at Murong Qianying and Hong Xinxin, who immediately understood. ”Aunt Xinxin and Aunt Qianying, please take me to that realm. I donʼt want them to suffer anymore, so I have to warn them.”

Both women exchanged glances for a moment before nodding to each other. Hong Xinxin then spoke to Zhang Xiaolong [3]. ”We donʼt want you to worry about them disturbing your concentration, so we will take you to that realm after you finish absorbing the Jianshen Liquid, and we will arrive there in a day using my flying artifact. However, we cannot stay there for too long, and we must return to this realm immediately after you warn them.”

”Yes, Aunt Xinxin.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately closed his eyes and quickly absorbed the Jianshen Liquid again.

Hong Xinxin let out a soft sigh before pouring more of the Jianshen Liquid into the wooden tub. ”His body cultivation level will probably breakthrough in a week.”

”So soon?” Murong Qianying was shocked by that, especially since Hong Xinxin had told her some time ago that Zhang Xiaolong [3] needed three months to break through.

”At first, I was shocked because he took the risk of using the poisonous lightning grass to temper his internal organs, but he turned out to have poison immunity, and the poison had no effect on him.” After Hong Xinxin said that, Murong Qianying immediately looked at Zhang Xiaolong [3] in shock. ”The thunderstorm three days ago was powerful, and I also used my lightning element on him for a whole day, which accelerated his progress.”

Murong Qianying nodded in understanding. ”Unfortunately, itʼs not enough, and he still has to continue improving himself. As long as the two of us continue to help him, Iʼm sure he can break through to the Seven Divine Realms faster than we estimated.”

”Yeah.”
