Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 734: Meet Luo Xuejia

Instead, Cheng Gaoji took out a golden hammer and pointed it at Feng Jinqiu. ”Do you think Iʼm afraid of you, little girl?”

”Even if you are not afraid of me, you should fear my phoenix race.” Cheng Gaoji was shocked as his golden hammer turned into ice and shattered into pieces, even though Feng Jinqiu didnʼt do anything. ”Pointing your weapon at me means challenging my race, and you should already know the consequences.”

*Crack... Crack...*

”Wait... wait...” Cheng Gaoji immediately flew into the air as soon as his flying artifact froze, or else he would have frozen along with it.

”Shatter.”

*Boom!*

Cheng Gaoji was truly furious after Feng Jinqiu destroyed his flying artifact. ʼThis little bitch! I didnʼt expect that her ice is truly powerful! Both of my artifacts were of divine grade, but she destroyed them so easily.ʼ

”I give you one last chance: Leave or die.” An ice spear appeared in Feng Jinqiuʼs right hand.

After witnessing Feng Jinqiuʼs strength, Cheng Gaoji did not dare to be reckless in challenging her. ”Where is Princess Feng Yao? I want to talk to her.”

”You are not worthy of meeting my princess.” Cheng Gaoji became even more furious after hearing that, but he turned tense once Feng Jinqiu pointed her ice spear at him. ”If you still want to live, you should leave now and forget about this realm. If you donʼt leave before three, this realm will be your grave.”

”You—”

”One!”

”Why are you—”

”Two!”

Cheng Gaoji flew backward as soon as Feng Jinqiuʼs aura increased, and her expression was serious about wanting to kill him. ʼDamn it! If the phoenix race insists on protecting this realm, there is no way I can obtain the inheritance of the ten-tailed fox.ʼ

”Three!”

”Wait! I will leave now!” Cheng Gaoji immediately took out another flying artifact and boarded it. ʼThis bitch! Iʼll take care of her next time, and Iʼll make her regret it then!ʼ

Unfortunately, Feng Jinqiu was not a stupid woman, and she could see that Cheng Gaoji would not give up so easily. She immediately shot her qi toward him, which quickly froze him and his flying artifact.

However, Feng Jinqiu did not kill Cheng Gaoji and imprisoned him within her ice. She then approached him. ”If you were not one of the best artifact creators in this universe, I would have killed you. Moreover, you are already so old, but you still foolishly fell into Shang Huaqiangʼs trap, which was caused by your greed. The ten-tailed foxʼs inheritance was indeed in this realm before, but the heavenly fox race has long taken it, especially since they were his direct descendants. My phoenix race does not need his inheritance, and we protect the people from this realm, especially the natural races who live in it.”

ʼFuck! Shang Huaqiang bastard! He made me suffer this fate!ʼ Cheng Gaoji could only grumble in his heart.

”Anyway, Shang Huaqiang and his Shang Clan will be wiped out in the near future, and I will free you from my ice prison after they are gone.” After she said that, Feng Jinqiue brought Cheng Gaojie to the Fallen Moon Cave and sealed the place with her ice. ”Now I just need to wait for the woman named Ma Mingxin, but she is a cultivator from the middle realms, so her flying artifact should be very slow, and she wonʼt arrive anytime soon.”

Zhang Xiaolong [3] took the four women for a walk in the Zhou Royal Capital as he monitored Zhou Xiaochuanʼs situation from a distance. ”Longʼer! How about we stay in this realm? This realm is much better than the Azure Sky Realm, so I want to stay here.”

”I agree with Lianzhi, Longʼer.” Even though she already knew Zhang Xiaolong [3]ʼs true identity, Shang Xinyu still called him by that nickname. ”Moreover, you said that the Star Tower is the same as the Sun Tower, so I thought about challenging it.”

”I also want to try my fighting abilities at the tower.” Sheng Yifen said with a nod.

Hong Xinxin asked him. ”Can we challenge the tower with just the four of us?”

”That old man will immediately detect the cultivation of the three of you, and he will not let us pass those challenges easily.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] then turned to them. ”If the three of you want to challenge the tower, you guys must wait for my real body to come out of seclusion in five months. After that, I will bring all my wives to challenge the tower, and our chances of passing the first floor will be greater.”

”Then what about me, Longʼer? Will you leave me alone if you all challenge the tower?”

Zhang Xiaolong [3] rubbed Wu Lianzhiʼs head. ”Naturally, I wonʼt leave you alone, and I will take you on a trip to other realms later.”

”Promise?” Wu Lianzhi stretched out her pinky finger.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] linked their pinky fingers and nodded. ”Promise.”

”So what are we going to do in this kingdom?” Hong Xinxin asked.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] thought for a moment. ”Since you guys want to stay in this realm, and I still have business with the emperor of this kingdom, then we have to look for a residence here. This way, you guys can have fun, and I can keep an eye on him more easily.”

”Are we going to buy a residence, Longʼer?”

”Why should we spend a lot of money if we can get one for free?” Zhang Xiaolong [3]ʼs question confused the four women.

They didnʼt have to wait long for the answer, especially since Zhou Hanling came to them a few minutes later. He then led Zhang Xiaolong [3] and the others to a large residence with many empty rooms, and there were four courtyards inside. ”Master, this residence was a gift from Dong Feiling, but I have never occupied it, and you can have it if you like it.”

”Do you like this residence, Lianzhi?”

Wu Lianzhi nodded. ”This residence is almost as big as the Wu Clan residence in the Red Sun Realm, and it is also beautiful with gardens and fish ponds, so I want to live here.”

”Since you like this residence, we will live here, and I will ask your parents to come to this realm once they leave the Sun Tower.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] then said to Zhou Hanling. ”I want you to inform Zhou Xiaochuan of us, and you can also tell him that I can cure his six wives.”

”Yes, Master.”

After Zhou Hanling left, Hong Xinxin asked Zhang Xiaolong [3]. ”Are you really going to cure them?”

”Not really.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] then explained to them his purpose in asking Zhou Hanling to inform Zhou Xiaochuan, causing them to shake their heads helplessly. ”Many nobles from this kingdom attended my wedding with Yun Xinyue, so I thought it was time for me to advance my plans. Once my real body comes out of seclusion, this kingdom will belong to me, and no one will dare to oppose Zhou Shenxin from ascending as the empress. Anyway, I still have some business with the people from the Alchemy Union in this kingdom, so Iʼll go meet them now.”

”Iʼll come with you.” Hong Xinxin first spoke to the three women. ”You guys can stay in this residence, and weʼll be back soon.”

After Zhang Xiaolong [3] and Hong Xinxin left, Shang Xinyu and Shang Yifen immediately invited Wu Lianzhi to choose their rooms. Since the residence was large, they no longer needed to share rooms.

Zhou Hanling was already standing behind Zhou Xiaochuan, who was seriously watching the imperial physicians examine Dong Feiling and the five women. ”Emperor, a strong man and woman suddenly approached me. They heard about the empressʼs and the othersʼ conditions from the citizens, and they claimed to be able to cure them.”

”Do you know their identities? Why didnʼt I notice their presence?” Zhou Xiaochuan asked with a frown.

Zhou Hanling answered him directly. ”They donʼt want to reveal their identities, and I canʼt sense their cultivation. However, I can feel that their auras are much stronger than yours, and I suspect that they come from another realm.”

Zhou Xiaochuan did not immediately believe Zhou Hanling. He used his senses to search for Zhang Xiaolong [3] and Hong Xinxin. He had no trouble finding them because the two of them had intentionally released their auras to lure him in. ʼWho are those they? Why do they want to help my six wives? Their auras are truly powerful, and I canʼt detect their cultivation even with my current level of the 5-Month Divine Expansion Realm, which means they are indeed stronger than me.ʼ

Seeing Zhou Xiaochuan hesitate, Zhou Hanling tried to talk to him again. ”Emperor, do you want to see those two people? Empress Feiling and your concubines have been sick for over a month, and I fear they will die if not treated soon.”

”Do you know where they live?”

”I brought them to the residence that Empress Feiling gifted me.”

Zhou Xiaochuan immediately left the room. ”Weʼll go see them now, and I hope they can cure Feiling and the others.”

Before long, the two men had arrived at the residence, but they couldnʼt find Zhang Xiaolong [3] and Hong Xinxin. Instead, Shang Xinyu welcomed them, but her presence shocked Zhou Xiaochuan. ʼThis woman should be about Shenxinʼs age, but her cultivation has already surpassed mine. Although her aura feels calm, it makes me afraid of her.ʼ

”Are you the emperor of this kingdom?” Shang Xinyu indifferently asked.

”I am.” Zhou Xiaochuan respectfully replied. ”Can I meet your two seniors, young miss?”

Shang Xinyu pointed to an empty chair. ”They still have some business with the Alchemy Union, so you can wait for them to come back.”

”Do they have any connection with the Alchemi Union?”

”They are not worthy.” Shang Xinyuʼs answer made Zhou Xiaochuan take a deep breath, especially since he did not dare to offend the Alchemy Union. ”I still have things to do, so Iʼll leave you two alone, and you can wait for my seniors to come back.”

”Okay, Iʼll wait for them.” After Shang Xinyu entered, Zhou Xiaochuan immediately sat down on an empty chair, with Zhou Hanling standing behind him. ʼWhat is the purpose of those two people meeting the people from the Alchemy Union?ʼ

The sudden arrival of Zhang Xiaolong [3] and Hong Xinxin made Luo Xuejia, Yi Zuoli, and Pei Yun tense. ʼThese two people are too terrifying!ʼ

Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately spoke without further ado. ”I give you two choices: Join me or leave this realm. Otherwise, your fate will be the same as Wei Chou, Lian Jinshu, Chen Feng, and others.”

Luo Xuejia, Yi Zuoli, and Pei Yun immediately realized that the two people in front of them were the ones Feng Yao had mentioned a month ago, but they didnʼt expect that they would arrive sooner than expected.

”Did you kill Wei Chou?” Although Luo Xuejiaʼs voice sounded calm, she was very tense in her heart.

”You can ask your higher-ups.” Zhang Xiaolong [3]ʼs answer caused Luo Xuejia to frown momentarily. ”I wonʼt force you to join me, but you must leave this realm right now if you are not willing to join me. However, I assure you that you will lose out if you refuse to join me, especially since I can give you many opportunities that are much better than what the Alchemy Union can give you.”

”You three are the most foolish people in the entire universe if you guys doubt my husbandʼs offer.” Luo Xuejia immediately looked at Hong Xinxin. ”We come from the upper realms, and your organization will never be able to set foot there in their lifetime. Even if the alchemists let your higher-ups return there, they will only be toying with them, and they will have no future there. Thus, you should leave them and join my husband, and I guarantee you will never regret it.”

Luo Xuejia did not immediately answer and asked something else. ”Can you tell me the identity of the woman who came to see us a month ago?”

”Her name is Feng Yao, and she is the princess of the Phoenix Race.” Hong Xinxinʼs answer shocked Luo Xuejia and her two subordinates. ”Her parents are the leaders of the alchemists in the upper realms, so I can say with certainty that your organization has no future there.”

Zhang Xiaolong [3] then spoke. ”Zhou Xiaochuan is waiting for us, so we donʼt have much time for your hesitation. You should decide now whether you want to join us or leave this realm.”

”Big sis.”

Luo Xuejia nodded to Yi Zuoli before answering Zhang Xiaolong [3]. ”The three of us will join you.”

”Thatʼs good.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded in satisfaction with that. ”Now, release your souls.”

Zhang Xiaolong [3]ʼs order confused Luo Xuejia and the two others. However, he said nothing and waited for them to release their souls, which they eventually did.

Once the three of them released their souls, Zhang Xiaolong [3] quickly moved to implant his soul mark into their souls. After all, he still didnʼt know their background clearly, and he used it as a precaution so that they wouldnʼt be able to betray him.

After that, the three of them immediately returned their souls to their bodies, and Zhang Xiaolong [3] spoke to them again. ”My soul mark is not a slave mark, so you will still be yourselves. Although the three of you are my subordinates now, I donʼt trust people easily, so Iʼm using it on you guys as a precaution against anything unexpected. You can take down the Alchemy Union sign from this shop, and I want you guys to replace it with the Sky Jade Shop.”

The three of them were relieved after hearing that the mark was not a slave mark. Luo Xuejia then spoke to Pei Yun. ”Go and order the Sky Jade Shopʼs signboard, and weʼll change it once itʼs ready.”

”Yes, Big Sis.” Pei Yun hurriedly left the shop.

Zhang Xiaolong spoke again. ”In a few days, I will send some people over to help you guys, and this shop will not only sell alchemy supplies; we will also sell other items, like in my other shops.”

”I understand, Master.” Luo Xuejia replied with a nod of understanding.

After that, Zhang Xiaolong [3] and Hong Xinxin left the shop, especially since Zhou Xiaochuan had been waiting for them. Luo Xuejia and Yi Zuoli were relieved with their departure. ”Do you really think itʼs okay if we join them, Big Sis? Wonʼt our higher-ups come here to capture us?”

”Do you think our higher-ups dare to come here, Zuoli?” Luo Xuejia responded with a shake of her head. ”Zhang Fei has killed so many of our men, and he has also killed Wei Chou, but they still havenʼt come here to settle accounts with him. Moreover, you have heard from the woman just now that the woman who came to see us a month ago is the princess of the Phoenix Race, and her parents are the leaders of the alchemists in the upper realms. The status of the Alchemy Union is obviously nothing in their eyes, so I believe they will not dare to come to this realm.”

Yi Zuoli nodded in understanding. ”In that case, Iʼll start tidying up this shop so weʼll be ready when our master sends new goods here.”

”All right.” Luo Xuejia then contacted the Alchemy Unionʼs higher-ups and informed them that they were withdrawing from the organization, which infuriated them. ”Sigh! I hope Iʼve made the right decision.”

Zhuo Xiaochuan, who was waiting in the living room, immediately turned towards the entrance as soon as he felt two strong auras coming from outside. His body trembled, and a cold sweat began to wet his forehead, especially since Zhang Xiaolong [3] deliberately unleashed his killing intent to deter him. ʼFuck! His intense killing is much more terrifying than those old demons!ʼ

Zhang Xiaolong [3] smiled faintly and led Hong Xinxin to sit by his side. ”I have heard about the conditions of your six wives, and I am confident that I can cure them. However, my services are not cheap, and you probably wonʼt be able to afford my services.”
