Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 353: Meeting III

After they had waited for quite some time, Zhang Lingxue finally came along with three old men. Apart from them, there are two women, none other than her mother and sister-in-law, Yang Yudie and Ziʼer.

Unlike her usual appearance, Ziʼer came wearing a purple mask covering her alluring face, which intrigued Zhang Fei, especially since he could feel a strange feeling coming from her. ʼScan her, Mei.ʼ

ʼOh? Sheʼs a bit older than Lingxue, but her cultivation has already reached the 10-Star Heaven Realm.ʼ Zhang Fei muttered to himself as he read Ziʼerʼs status, but he raised his eyebrows when he read her special physique, and she was the only cultivator who had a special physique that he had ever met in the Sky Jade Realm. ʼHeavenly Fragrance Physique? What kind of physique is that, Mei?ʼ

[Master, you can feel the temptation coming from Ziʼer, right?] Zhang Fei answered Mei with a slight nod, especially since he did feel tempted to approach and devour her directly. [Heavenly Fragrance Physique is related to charm, which makes her body emit an enchanting and irresistible allure aura, and other men will feel the same way as you if they see her.

Fortunately, she had her artifact mask on, which effectively suppressed her aura. Otherwise, you and these men wouldnʼt be able to resist the temptation of her aura, and all of you would immediately pounce on her.]

ʼHmm?ʼ Zhang Fei then looked at the men around him, and it was clear that they had to fight hard to hold themselves back from pouncing at Ziʼer. ʼHer special physique is that scary, huh? Why does she hate the Huo Clan? Did something happen between them?ʼ

”Husband!” Zhang Lingxue suddenly called out Zhang Fei as he brought the two women towards him, causing the three old men to look at him in surprise, having never heard of their marriage. ”They are my mother and sister-in-law, Yang Yudie and Ziʼer.”

ʼMei, buy five sets of the pills; I remember Lingxue has a niece.ʼ

[Yes, Master.]

{You got Essence Qi Pill x5}

{You got Meridian Cleansing Pill x5}

{You got Dantian Strengthening Pill x5}

{You got Soul Enhancement Pill x5}

{You got Yin Purifying Pill x3}

{You got Yang Purifying Pill x2}

{7,750,000 red jewels have been deducted from your balance.}

Zhang Fei gave a nod to Zhang Lingxue before retrieving the pills from the system inventory. He then handed them to Yang Yudie while speaking to her. ”Mother-in-law, Iʼm sorry that I havenʼt had the chance to come to the Zhang Clan to meet and ask for your blessing to take Lingxue as my wife, but she has already become my wife now, so I hope you can bless our relationship.

In return, I give these pills as an apology gift for my impudence, and they will be beneficial to you and the others.”

”Since my daughter has chosen you as her husband, I wonʼt say anything about your relationship with her.

Moreover, she has told us quite a lot about you, so I completely trust her choice, and I hope you will be together until the end of your lives.” Yang Yudie replied to Zhang Fei as she accepted the bottles, but her expression turned to shock after she opened one of them, so Ziʼer peeked at the contents, which shocked her as well.

ʼMother and sister-in-law, you should not say anything and accept these pills, especially since my husband only gives them to those closest to him.

Moreover, I myself have swallowed them before, so I can tell you two that their effects are truly extraordinary, and you guys will feel significant changes after you swallow them later.ʼ Both women nodded at Zhang Lingxue, and Yang Yudie immediately put them in her storage ring. ”Anyway, husband, these three men are the eldest elders of the Di, Feng, and Chang clans.

Their names are Di Xingjie, Feng Xiaogang, and Chang Liangjun.”

”Iʼm glad that the three of you have decided to join us, seniors.” Zhang Fei expressed his gratitude as he gazed at the three old men. ”This way, Iʼm sure that we can convince the moon fox race to help us, so those heretics wonʼt be able to reign in our realm.”

They nodded at him, but Di Xingjie immediately approached Zhang Fei. ”Lingxue told me that you are interested in learning formation arrays; do you want to learn it from me?

Actually, my ancestor forbade us from teaching our formation array techniques to outsiders, but you are a member of the Zhang Clan, and Zhang Long is like a blood brother to him, so I think there will be no problem if you learn them.”

Zhang Feiʼs expression brightened upon hearing that, particularly because he had already planned to visit the Di Clan to learn about formation arrays, and now that the opportunity was in front of him, he couldnʼt possibly waste it.

Zhang Fei immediately cupped his hands to Di Xingjie. ”Senior, if you donʼt mind teaching me, I am willing to learn the Di Clanʼs formation array techniques, and-”

”No need.” Di Xingjie immediately stopped Zhang Fei. ”I am willing to teach you because you are a member of the Zhang Clan, and the relationship between our two clans is like family, so you donʼt need to address me as your master.”

After he said that, Di Xingjie immediately touched Zhang Feiʼs forehead and passed several types of formation arrays into his mind. However, most of them were basic formations, especially since he was just about to start his path to becoming a formation array master.

[Ding]

[You obtained the Qi Gathering Formation Array Method.]

[You obtained the Light Shield Formation Array Method.]

[You obtained the Confining Formation Array Method.]

[You obtained the Hundred Illusion Formation Array Method.]

[You obtained the Nine Dragons Sealing Formation Array Method.]

Di Xingjie then pulled back his hand and explained each array to him. ”Since you are also a member of the Chu Clan, you should have used the Qi Gathering Formation Array in their clan, right? Back then, Chu Hong purchased the Qi Gathering Formation Array from my patriarch, and since itʼs the most basic formation, you can begin your learning with it.

The Light Shield Formation Array is also a basic protective formation, but it is enough to withstand attacks from cultivators in the Heaven Realm, and I will teach you more powerful formations after you have successfully learned them.

The Hundred Illusion Formation and the Confining Formation array are also basic formations, but they are slightly more difficult to learn than the previous two, and you should already know their functions from their names. As for the Nine Dragons Sealing Formation Array, it is a formation at the entry level of the intermediate formation array, and you canʼt learn it for now.

However, I deliberately gave it to you first, so you can start learning it after you master the other four.”

”Thank you, Senior. I will immediately study them after I return, and if I have difficulty understanding them, I will come to you in the Di Clan.” Di Xingjie nodded to Zhang Fei. ”Anyway, can you tell me about the stages of the formation array?”

Di Xingjie explained it to Zhang Fei right away. ”Formation arrays have several levels: basic, intermediate, advanced, and master. However, each level is divided into three stages: entry, mid, and high. As for the formation array master level, it is not too difficult to remember because it is only divided from rank 1 to 10.”

”I see.” Zhang Fei nodded in understanding after listening to Di Xingjie. ”I really canʼt wait to study them, but they are waiting for us, so we should go to the entrance to the moon foxʼs sub-realm now.”

After Di Xingjie agreed, they rushed to that area, and Zhang Lingxue immediately asked her mother to use the token they got from the moon fox in the past.

Yang Yudie nodded in agreement and took out the token before channeling her qi into it, making a light come out of it and shoot towards the entrance to the moon foxʼs sub-realm. ”This way, theyʼll notice our arrival, so we just have to wait for them to come out.

However, we shouldnʼt have too much hope for them, especially since they are such selfish creatures and probably wonʼt be willing to help us.”

”Ha ha ha.” Feng Xiaogang laughed at Yang Yudieʼs words. ”You shouldnʼt have to think about that, right, old madam? The moon foxes are indeed divine beasts, but my Feng Clan is not inferior to them, and I am confident that we will be able to convince them to help us.”

Yang Yudie did not deny Feng Xiaogangʼs words, especially since she herself knew the background behind the real Feng Clan, and her daughter also got the fire phoenix bloodline from Feng Yao.

ʼHmm?ʼ Zhang Fei, who was curious about Feng Xiaogangʼs identity and the Feng Clan, immediately asked Mei to scan his status. However, the result surprised him a little, especially since he, like Zhang Lingxue, also had a fire phoenix bloodline. Even so, he is not a true phoenix, and he only has the bloodline.

ʼIf my guess is correct, Feng Yao should be a true fire phoenix, or else she would not have been able to pass her bloodline to Lingxue.ʼ

[I think so too, Master. However, I am confused as to why a mythical beast like the phoenix lives in the lower realm, especially since the quality and quantity of qi in this realm is not very good for it, and the upper realm should be the most suitable place for it.]

Zhang Fei nodded in agreement with Mei. ʼForget it; Feng Yao might have a special reason for staying in this realm, and we might be able to find out about it in the future.ʼ

Suddenly, the area glowed quite brightly before the portal to the moon foxʼs sub-realm finally opened. Soon, two men and two women of the race walked out of it, and a faint smile appeared on Zhang Feiʼs face after he saw Hu Lili among them. However, he did not show any reaction, especially since he did not want the other moon foxes to suspect him.

A female moon fox suddenly moved in front of Zhang Fei, which caused him and Hu Lili to frown slightly. The other cultivators also looked at her with puzzled looks.

The female moon fox then sniffed Zhang Feiʼs body again and again. ”Hmm? I can smell the fox scent on your body, but I canʼt identify your fox bloodline. Besides, I smell the scent of serpents and various other beasts from your body, but I also smell the scent of other strange beasts on your body.”

ʼIs this woman a fox or a dog? Why is she acting like a dog?ʼ Hu Li suddenly sent a voice transmission to Zhang Fei and told him the identity of the woman, who was none other than Hu Qiaomu, and she also had the sharpest sense of smell among the other moon foxes. ”You donʼt have to sniff me like that, Senior.

I am indeed a fox beast, and I have several beast wives by my side, so itʼs natural that you can smell the scent of other beasts from my body.”

People who didnʼt know Zhang Fei were shocked to hear his confession, and they didnʼt expect that he was a beast, especially since they couldnʼt sense the aura of a beast from his body, including Feng Xiaogang.

”Oh?” Hu Qiaomu was taken back for a moment when she heard that, and she then supported her chin with her hand. ”Show me your fox form, kid.”

Zhang Fei immediately transformed into his fox form, but he did not show his four tails to them, and he used a fox form with one tail.

”Eh?” Hu Qiaomu and the other two moon fox members were shocked by Zhang Feiʼs fox form, especially since his fox form was indeed larger than other foxes, including them.

Similar to Chu Qing and his other women, Zhang Feiʼs fox form, particularly his smooth and white fur, captivated Hu Qiaomu and the other women. However, the two moon fox men, who were none other than Hu Dahai and Hu Peiwu, suddenly moved to their friendʼs side, and both of them observed him seriously.

”Have you ever seen a fox as big as him before, Dahai?” Hu Peiwu questioned his friend.

”No.” Hu Dahai answered with a shake of his head. ”This kid only has one tail, so his figure shouldnʼt be this big. As far as I know, only the nine-tailed fox has a figure as big or bigger than him, but I myself have never seen a nine-tailed fox, so I canʼt say for sure either.”

Zhang Fei shook his head slightly before returning to his human form. ”Seniors, Iʼm not sure how my fox form can be so large, but itʼs true, as youʼve witnessed. As for my fox bloodline, I am a snow-white fox, so my fox form is so white.”

”A snow fox?” The three people from the moon fox race raised their eyebrows, especially since there was no snowy area in the Sky Jade Realm, so they felt strange about Zhang Feiʼs existence in their realm.

As if understanding their thoughts, Zhang Fei immediately spoke to them again. ”I donʼt know my exact origins, but I was already in this realm when I opened my eyes, so I donʼt know how I got here.”

Zhang Lingxue, the Liu Sisters, and the people who knew Zhang Fei almost laughed after hearing him lie to the three members of the moon fox race with a straight face. Even Hu Lili was amused by his lies, especially since they knew that he was a true human, but also a true fox.

The three members of the moon fox just nodded and didnʼt ask further, and Hu Qiaomu directly asked them. ”So what is the purpose of all of you coming to this place? Why did you come in such a large group?”
