Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1922: Demon Races On The Move III

”Hahaha!”

When Hua Qianmei led Shang Zhanluo, Shang Luohu, Shang Xueli, and Shang Zhui into the palace living room, loud laughter greeted them.

Hua Qianmei did not recognize the voice’s owner, but Shang Zhanluo did. ”Old Wu? Since when have you been in this domain?”

”Your son-in-law sent me to this domain before you, Old Shang.” Wu Mian replied with a grin.

Hua Qianmei finally recalled who Wu Mian was, but she said nothing and looked at Mo Qingwen. ”They are Zhang Fei’s wife’s family, and he asked me to bring them here.”

”Wu Mian has already told me about them, and I have prepared a place for them.” Mo Qingwen walked up to Shang Zhanluo and his family. ”My name is Mo Qingwen, and I am the leader of this domain. By the way, you are the second Asura Demon God I have ever met.”

Shang Zhanluo raised an eyebrow momentarily. ”Is there an Asura Demon God in this realm, Senior?”

”Yes.” Mo Qingwen nodded. ”His name is Shang Jingyuan, and his strength is quite fearsome, especially when he uses his bloodline technique. Since you’re an Asura Demon like him, you should also possess that technique, right?”

Since Mo Qingwen already knew about it, Shang Zhanluo didn’t hide it. ”I do have that technique, but I can’t use it for too long. If I force myself, all the nerves in my body will rupture, and I will become a cripple. Moreover, that technique is useless against cultivators stronger than me, like Zhang Fei.”

”Oh?” Mo Qingwen was taken aback. ”Does that mean Zhang Fei once defeated you?”

”He defeated me once, and I couldn’t fight him back then.” Shang Zhanluo replied with a disappointed sigh.

Mo Qingwen patted his shoulder. ”You don’t have to feel embarrassed for losing to Zhang Fei, Shanluo. He’s different from other cultivators, and I’m afraid of him myself. Are they your wife and daughter?”

”Yes.” Shang Zhanluo introduced them. ”Shang Luohu is my wife, and Shang Xueli is my daughter. The man behind us is my confidant, Shang Zhui.”

”I’ve seen your daughter before.” Gu Yanshu chimed in as she walked to her husband’s side. ”You previously cultivated in Hua Qianmei’s secret place, right?”

Shang Xueli nodded. ”Three months ago, my husband took us to cultivate there, Senior.”

”I have a daughter, and she’s a little older than you. Unfortunately, she’s not here now, and she’s helping Zhang Fei collect those demon materials in the dungeon.” Gu Yanshu took Shang Luohu’s hand. ”Since you two are Zhang Fei’s parents-in-law, I’d like to invite you to stay in this palace, and the members of your race can stay in the quarters we’ve prepared for them.”

”I—”

”You’re pregnant, right?” Shang Luohu nodded to Gu Yanshu. ”The domain looks safe from the outside, but the situation here is actually not safe. Since you’re in the early stages of pregnancy, you’ll be safer staying here. Moreover, that place isn’t far from this city, and you can visit them whenever you want.”

Shang Luohu turned to her husband beside her. ”What do you think about that, husband?”

”For the time being, you can stay here for the safety of you and our child in your womb, wife.” Shang Zhanluo looked at Mo Qingwen and Gu Yanshu. ”We just arrived at the domain today, so I will stay with my clan members to control the situation.”

Mo Qingwen nodded in understanding. ”I will order my trusted men to lead you and the members of your race to that place, and you can visit your wife whenever you want.”

”Thank you, seniors,” Shang Zhanluo said gratefully.

After all, they were newcomers to the Myriad Abyss Domain and were unfamiliar with the situation. Besides, Zhang Fei had also informed Shang Zhanluo that several other demon gods were trying to take down Mo Qingwen, which made the situation worrying.

”I will accompany my mother here, Father.” Shang Xueli said.

”Alright.” After Mo Qingwen’s subordinates arrived, he immediately led Shang Zhanluo and Shang Zhui away from the palace, and Wu Mian followed behind them.

”What about you, Qianmei? Are you going straight back to the dungeon?” Gu Yanshu asked.

Hua Qianmei shrugged. ”Zhang Fei has dozens of demon wives, and the majority of them have not reached the Seven Supreme Demon Ranks, so I will return to the dungeon to help him collect those materials.”

”Alright.” After Hua Qianmei left, Gu Yanshu led Shang Xueli and Shang Luohu away. ”Please follow me.”

They had only walked a step when Mo Cangyue suddenly ran into the room. ”Oh? Why is she here, Mother? Who is the woman beside her?”

”Come with us, Cangyue.” Mo Cangyue nodded to her mother and followed them. ”Shang Luohu is Shang Xueli’s mother, so she is Zhang Fei’s mother-in-law.”

”I see.” Mo Cangyue nodded in understanding. ”Welcome to our palace, Xueli and Auntie.”

”Thank you.”

Gu Yanshu looked at her daughter and asked. ”Why are you suddenly back? Are you bored in the dungeon?”

”Yeah,” Mo Cangyue replied gloomily. ”I’ve been in the dungeon for a few months, so I decided to go back and rest. Once my boredom subsides, I’ll go there again. Since Shang Xueli is here, I’ll accompany her while I rest my body.”

Gu Yanshu raised an eyebrow when she noticed the unusual look in her daughter’s eyes. ’Don’t disturb Xueli! Your father and I won’t be able to save you if Zhang Fei gets angry with you.’

’Humph! I never thought of bothering her!’ Mo Cangyue answered with a displeased look.

’Do you think I don’t know your character?’ Gu Yanshu’s tone became sharp. ’I know you’re upset with Zhang Fei because of Yuan Xiajie! I warned you not to disturb Shang Xueli, and I’ll lock you in your room if you dare to contradict me.’

Mo Cangyue pouted; she didn’t dare to contradict her mother. ’Tch! Because of Zhang Fei, Yuan Xiajie doesn’t want to be intimate with me anymore!’

Gu Yanshu could only shake her head; she felt powerless to change her daughter’s nature.

Before long, they arrived at the guest quarters, and Gu Yanshu showed Shang Xueli to her room. Afterward, she took Shang Luohu into another room to discuss the Asura Demon Race of the Ancient Realm.

Mo Cangyue pulled Shang Xueli into his room. ”Hey, how did you fall in love with Zhang Fei?”

”My husband is my savior.”

”Savior?”

”Yes.” Shang Xueli nodded and told Mo Cangyue about her dark past, shocking her. ”After he saved me from Mo Zixiao, he took me to his secret place, and I spent quite a long time there.”

Mo Cangyue nodded slightly. ”So, you fell in love with him because he saved you from your ex-husband?”

”No.” Shang Xueli denied that. ”Besides saving me, he also gave me many opportunities to improve myself, and I fell in love with him after we spent a long time together.”

Mo Cangyue thought for a while before asking again. ”Did he ever take Yuan Xiajie to his secret place? How was their relationship?

”Hmm?” Shang Xueli could hear the jealousy in Mo Cangyue’s voice. ”You’re not wrong about that, and my husband took her to his secret place before, but I never saw them getting close. He spent his time with his other wives in his residence, and Yuan Xiajie focused on her training elsewhere.”

Mo Cangyue didn’t know whether Shang Xueli could be trusted. After all, she was one of Zhang Fei’s wives, and she was definitely on his side. ”Then, how did Yuan Xiajie fall in love with him?”

”Huh?” Shang Xueli blinked. ”Honestly, I don’t know the depth of their relationship, but I’ve heard that they used to be enemies because she kidnapped Wang Yin in the past.”

Naturally, Mo Cangyue had already heard about their past enmity, and she also knew that Zhang Fei found Yuan Xiajie in the Frozen Yin Domain before taking her to his secret place.

Shang Xueli observed her expression. ”Did you fall in love with Yuan Xiajie, Cangyue?”

”Apart from my father and big brother, all men are trash, and they always think with their lower bodies, so I never like them.” Shang Xueli’s eye twitched after Mo Cangyue said that. ”I met Yuan Xiajie when Hua Qianmei brought her to this domain, and I’ve loved her ever since. However, her feelings changed because of Zhang Fei, and she even decided to give herself to him. I’ve asked for the details, but she was unwilling to tell me the truth.”

”Honestly, I’m not surprised that Yuan Xiajie fell in love with my husband.” Mo Cangyue’s face darkened, and her demon aura exploded, but Shang Xueli wasn’t afraid. ”Even Senior Qianmei, Senior Zhiyao, and Senior Zhilan fell in love with him. By the way, I advise you not to make enemies with him; he has no mercy towards his enemies, including women. If you choose to be his enemy, you will suffer and regret it for the rest of your life.”

”Humph!” Mo Cangyue snorted and turned to leave. ”Yuan Xiajie is mine, and I will never hand her over to anyone, including Zhang Fei!”

Shang Xueli watched Mo Cangyue walk away with a shake of her head. ”I don’t understand why a woman like her would choose to be a lily, especially since she’s always lived safely and comfortably in this palace. If she were ever in my position, she would probably have committed suicide long ago.”

In another room, Gu Yanshu had a serious conversation with Shang Luohu. ”Luohu, you must tell your husband to be careful of Shang Jingyuan. Sooner or later, I’m sure he’ll discover your presence in this domain, and he’ll come here to kill your husband.”

”Why is that, Senior? Where did he get the information about our presence in this domain?” Shang Luohu asked in confusion.
