Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 700: Zhou Xiaochuanʼs Return

”Lingʼer, you can take Tasha to walk around the city, and I will take all the goods for our shops in the Nine Stars Realm.” Zhang Fei promptly departed after giving Xu Lingʼer a substantial amount of money.

”The air here is much more foul than in the Netherworld Realm, Lingʼer.” After all, Tasha was a demon wolf, and her sense of smell was too keen, forcing her to cover her nose with Qi.

”Hehehe.” Xu Lingʼer laughed as she pulled Tasha out of Zhang Chenʼs house. ”The air here is bad, but there are many delicious foods and snacks here. Iʼm sure youʼll like them, but we have to go to the city first.”

”Show me the direction, and Iʼll take you there directly.” After Xu Lingʼer showed her the directions to the city, Tasha immediately took her there, and they spent quite a lot of time together.

Xu Lingʼer took Tasha to various places, such as the amusement park. She also brought the wolf girl to try various Earth snacks, such as ice cream and other types of snacks.

After visiting his countryʼs warehouse, Zhang Fei swiftly traveled to various countries on Earth to gather all the goods available in warehouses.

Although the quantity of the goods was slightly smaller than his estimate, Zhang Fei felt that it was enough to fill his fourth shop in the Bai Kingdom. Additionally, he asked Huang Rongʼs subordinates to prepare various modern kitchen equipment for his fourth restaurant, and he left for Paris after he had finished everything.

Both women were stunned for a moment as soon as Zhang Fei appeared in front of them, but Jiang Yinghua let out a soft sigh as she felt helpless to stop him from sneaking into their apartment. ”Why did you suddenly come here again?”

”Did you and Meng Tianshi return to the Tian Realm two days ago?” Zhang Fei asked her back.

”Yes.” Jiang Yinghua nodded before telling him. ”Lord Gabriel asked us to come back to take care of something, and we came back last night. Anyway, the Throne has become more active, and he will probably order his subordinates to descend here sooner than we previously thought.”

Zhang Fei casually responded to the matter. ”The sooner they get here, the better. Seraph must be prepared to lose his subordinates, especially since my subordinates will never let any of them go, and I order them to slaughter them.”

”Can you ask your subordinates not to slaughter them?” Zhang Fei just smiled at Jiang Yinghua, especially since he would never change his mind about the winged race, leaving her helpless. ”So, what is the purpose of your visit this time?”

Jiang Yinghuaʼs eyes widened when Zhang Fei used his new light element technique, especially since the light figure was her own.

Unlike her, Meng Tianshi immediately approached the light figure and looked at it up and down. ”Hey, Jinghua! The womanʼs figure bears a striking resemblance to you, yet it originates from a pure and powerful light element. Even our light element pales in comparison to this one.”

”Since you are a winged race, and you have the light element, I deliberately used your figure to create my newest technique.” Jiang Yinghua glared at Zhang Fei, but he returned it with a smile. ”I have already said that I want to have you as my wife, and I never joked with my words. You can reject me now, but I am confident that you will accept me one day.”

ʼTch! His face is much thicker than the walls of this apartment!ʼ Jiang Yinghua chose not to answer Zhang Fei and approached the light figure. ”Where did you get the idea to create this technique? What are the abilities of this figure?”

”My idea came from my big sister. The light element is associated with healing and purification, so this light figure has the abilities of both. Additionally, I can use it to attack all demons, so I donʼt need to face them directly.” Zhang Fei approached the two women, unleashing his new technique of the darkness element, which prompted Jiang Yinghua and Meng Tianzhi to leap away from him. ”I used the figure of a dark fairy to create this technique, and it is the opposite of the light figure. If my light figure can heal and purify, my dark figure can destroy and corrupt everything, including your race members.”

”Do dark fairies really exist?” Zhang Fei responded to Meng Tianshi by summoning the darkness elemental creature, shocking both women. ”So this woman is a dark fairy?”

”This female fairy is the embodiment of the darkness element, but the dark fairies do exist, and they are spread across many realms.” Zhang Fei then pulled the three of them back and gave the two women a few bottles of his Yang Qi. ”The ones I gave you before are almost gone, right?”

Unlike Jiang Yinghua, who seemed hesitant to accept them, Meng Tianshi happily accepted them right away, especially since she had already experienced their beneficial effects on her body. ”The last one will run out tonight, so Iʼm grateful you gave me more.”

”Here.” Jiang Yinghua eventually accepted Zhang Feiʼs Yang Qi. ”So, what do you guys think about my offer? Have you thought about it?”

”No.” Zhang Fei sighed inwardly as Jiang Yinghua unhesitatingly rejected him.

On the other hand, Meng Tianshi seemed hesitant to answer Zhang Fei, but he had thought about it and decided to accept his offer. ”I will give you my answer if you can convince Yinghua.”

”I see.” Zhang Fei nodded in understanding. ”I will go back now, and you can use the contents of those bottles for the time being. After a few days, I will come here again to replenish the stock.”

After Zhang Fei left, Meng Tianshi immediately opened a bottle and directly swallowed his Yang Qi, which quickly warmed up her body. ”Hey, Jinghua! You should drink now so we can relieve the heat together.”

ʼWhat exactly is this liquid? Why do I become aroused every time I drink it?ʼ Despite her thoughts, Jiang Yinghua still drank one, and the two women immediately went to the bathroom to relieve the heat in their bodies.

Meanwhile, Yun Aoxian had arrived at the Guo Clan and rushed to the lightning pond. He briefly raised his eyebrows when he saw no one in the pond, but he immediately looked up at the lightning core above the sky, where he found Guo Jizhe and Zhang Fei [5].

ʼPhew! Fortunately, that troublemaker didnʼt look for trouble with Zhang Fei [5]; otherwise, he would have died in his hands.ʼ Yun Aoxian then flew up and joined them there.

Zhang Fei [5] was not surprised by Yun Aoxianʼs arrival, especially since Yun Xinyue had already informed him beforehand. Meanwhile, Guo Jizhe was surprised by his arrival, but he immediately guessed that Guo Xuehua had deliberately sent him to their clan. ”Did my aunt send you here, cousin?”

”Donʼt you already know the answer?” Yun Aoxian directly ignored Guo Jizhe and asked Zhang Fei [5]. ”Is Zhou Xiaochuan almost arriving at his kingdom? What about his subordinates that we captured before? Do you think he will be aware of our actions?”

”You donʼt need to worry about that because Zhou Xiaochuanʼs subordinates are now my subordinates, and he wonʼt be able to change that.” Zhang Fei [5]ʼs answer caused Guo Jizhe to look at them in confusion and shock. ”His flying artifact has just entered this island, and he will probably arrive at his kingdom around midnight. I have prepared a big surprise for him, and it will make the situation there chaotic, so he wonʼt have time to take care of other things.”

”Are you going to make a move against Zhou Xiaochuan soon?”

”No.” Zhang Fei [5] shook his head at Yun Aoxian. ”I will take them into seclusion first, and I will deal with Zhou Xiaochuan after we get out. At that time, his position in his kingdom will collapse, and Zhou Shenxin will ascend the throne to replace him.”

Guo Jizhe looked shocked as he listened to their conversation, and he wanted to ask them something. However, Yun Aoxian glared at him, signaling that he should not ask any questions or interfere. ”Have you prepared to face the rejection of Zhou Kingdomʼs people towards Zhou Shenxin? Unlike our Yun Kingdom or the Xian Kingdom, the people of Zhou Kingdom do not respect women, and they will fight to prevent her from becoming their empress.”

”If they reject Zhou Shenxin as their empress, I just need to kill them, and no one will dare to reject her anymore.” Guo Jizhe frowned in response to Zhang Fei [5]ʼs statement, but he and Yun Aoxian could see the seriousness on his face. ”Honestly, I donʼt like using that kind of method to handle this matter, but sometimes we have no choice but to use the most vicious method to deal with people like them. If necessary, I will destroy them from the ground up, ensuring that future troubles do not arise.”

ʼDoes he also have a relationship with Zhou Shenxin? How could that happen? Thereʼs no way Zhou Xiaochuan would let his daughter have a relationship with this brat.ʼ Guo Jizhe finally couldnʼt hold himself back anymore. ”Hey! Arenʼt you too arrogant? Do you think you can face the Zhou Kingdomʼs vast population? Even my uncle and aunt donʼt dare to face them head-on.”

”Isnʼt your mindset too narrow?” Zhang Fei [5] asked with a hint of mockery in his tone. ”Emperor Yun and Empress Guoʼs strength is not inferior to Zhou Xiaochuanʼs, and they are not cowards. However, they cannot act rashly because the fate of the Yun Kingdomʼs people is in their hands, and they have to act carefully so that people like you donʼt suffer.”

”You—”

”Stop it.” Yun Aoxian stopped Guo Jizhe immediately. ”His words are true. If my parents were not the Emperor and the Empress of this Kingdom, they would not be afraid to fight with Zhou Xiaochuan. Their status prevents them from doing such a thing, especially since the impact of their decision would be too significant for our people.”

”Do you really believe this kid, Cousin?” Guo Jizhe asked while pointing at Zhang Fei [5].

”Have you forgotten about your failure at the Star Tower?” Guo Jizhe frowned at Yun Aoxian. ”Back then, my mother asked you to lead the best young generation of our clan, but none of you managed to pass the first floor, and you even failed the third challenge. Unlike you, Zhang Fei [5] led one group of the Xian Imperial Sect there, and some of them managed to pass all those challenges; even Xinyue managed to pass all of them due to his guidance.”

Upon hearing that, Guo Jizhe looked at Zhang Fei [5] with a look of disbelief. After all, his cultivation was clearly still at the 3-Star Earth Realm, so he found it difficult to believe that he could pass all the challenges in the Star Tower.

”Itʼs up to you whether you believe it or not, but your opinion means nothing to me.” Zhang Fei [5] then spoke to Yun Aoxian. ”After Zhou Shenxin becomes the empress, the Zhou, Xian, and Yun Kingdoms will be allies. I have no interest in the affairs of the kingdoms, and I will leave all matters regarding the three kingdoms to my parents-in-law and your parents.”

”Who are your parents-in-law?”

”Zhang Fei [5] is Xian Xianqinʼs husband, so Uncle Feng and Aunt Qingzhuang are his parents-in-law.” Guo Jizheʼs expression changed to shock, not expecting that the man in front of him was the husband of the Xian Princess. However, Yun Aoxianʼs next words further shocked him. ”Moreover, Xinyue is also in love with him, and they will marry in the future, so he will also be a part of our Yun Kingdom at that time.”

Zhang Fei [5] just smiled at Guo Jizheʼs expression. ”Anyway, letʼs focus on absorbing this lightning; I really canʼt wait to break through again.”

Yun Aoxian nodded in agreement with him, and they closed their eyes, starting to absorb the lightning from the lightning core. Meanwhile, Guo Jizhe continued to gaze at Zhang Fei [5], unable to overcome his shock. ʼThis bastard! How could he manage to win the hearts of three princesses from three different kingdoms? Tch! Xinyue is mine, and I wonʼt hand her over to anyone!ʼ

In the end, Guo Jize decided to leave, but Zhang Fei [5] immediately asked Mei to keep an eye on him, particularly because his name was still marked red on the map.

Three hours later, Xu Lingʼer and Tasha returned to Zhang Chenʼs house, and Zhang Fei immediately took the two back to their residence in the Nine Stars Realm.

When they arrived, everyone was already gathered and waiting for Zhang Fei. They immediately had dinner together, after which most of them went back to their rooms to continue cultivating.

Since they were going into seclusion soon, Zhang Fei deliberately gave them a chance to relax so that they wouldnʼt become bored with a long period of seclusion. Tasha immediately pulled Xu Lingʼer into their room, and she couldnʼt wait to try out the things they bought on Earth.

Xian Xianqin immediately approached Zhang Fei. ”Husband, can you bring Yao Yin and Xianwu to enter seclusion with us?”

”They are my brother-in-law and sister-in-law, so I wouldnʼt mind if they joined us.” Xian Xianqin was relieved that Zhang Fei immediately agreed. ”You can tell them to get ready, and I will bring them with us when I am ready to enter seclusion.”

Xian Xianqin immediately kissed Zhang Fei on the lips. ”Thank you, husband. I will contact them now so they can prepare everything.”

After Xian Xianqin left, Feng Yao immediately appeared and sat on Zhang Feiʼs side. ”Since you hurriedly left with the two little girls, I havenʼt had time to tell you about me and Shang Yumeiʼs discovery in the Bai royal palaceʼs underground. The demon behind that sealed door is not an ordinary demon; it is an ancient demon beast, the Ancient Devourer Demon Beast.”

”Is the Ancient Devourer Demon Beast powerful?”

”The Ancient Devourer Demon Beasts are powerful and have unique abilities, especially the mature ones. Even my parents and the two ancestors of the heavenly fox would never dare to face the mature one, especially since it can devour their attacks and turn them into its power.” Feng Yaoʼs answer shocked Zhang Fei. ”Anyway, the beast behind the door is not mature yet, and I can kill it if I want to. However, I will refrain from doing so, especially since it will be useful to you. Unfortunately, your current strength wonʼt allow you to tame it, and your heavenly fox bloodline wonʼt be effective against it.”

Zhang Fei nodded in understanding. ”Thatʼs okay; Iʼm not in a hurry about the demon beast either. However, I think Huangfu Shou and Li Tiannan already know about the demon beastʼs existence in the Bai Kingdom, and it might be one of their reasons for controlling Bai Yaowei.”

”Your guess may be correct about that, but you donʼt need to worry about them, and I will help you to keep an eye on the demon beast while you enter seclusion.” Feng Yao immediately raised an eyebrow when Zhang Fei abruptly grabbed her shoulder. ”What do you want to do? Are you that impatient to eat me?”

”Hahaha.” Zhang Fei laughed awkwardly at that. ”Even if I couldnʼt wait to eat you, I would never be able to do it now, right? What if you let me kiss you?”

”Sure, Iʼll give you a kiss.” Feng Yao immediately grabbed Zhang Feiʼs head and brought their faces closer, but she disappeared when their lips were less than an inch apart. ”Hahaha! Reach my level and go to my phoenix realm first.”

ʼTch! When our cultivation levels equalize, I will teach her a lesson.ʼ Zhang Fei then opened the map. ”Zhou Xiaochuan has finally arrived in his kingdom.”

After that, Zhang Fei went to Zhou Shenxinʼs room, where she talked to her mother, Jiang Tingxi. ”Have your Jiang Clan members left the Zhou Kingdom?”

”Yes.” Jiang Tingxi nodded at him. ”Has my husband returned?”

Zhang Fei immediately told both women. ”Zhou Xiaochuanʼs flying artifact has just arrived at the Zhou Royal Palace, and the atmosphere there will be lively soon.”
