Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 356: Enter Seclusion

”There is no other true fire phoenix in the Feng clan, except for Feng Yao. She once informed Lingxue that she was the only one, with the rest of her clan members merely possessing the phoenix bloodline. Ziʼerʼs answer confused Zhang Fei.

”In fact, she is the oldest living being in this realm, but everything about her has always been a mystery, especially since she never really opened herself to anyone, including Lingxue. Long before the Chang clan was crowned as the strongest clan, her clan was the strongest in this realm.

Unfortunately, her clanʼs main members suddenly disappeared, and no one knew how they disappeared or where they went.”

”Hmm?” Zhang Fei raised his eyebrows after hearing that, but he remembered Zefyr and Hu Liliʼs story about the heavenly fox deliberately leaving the Sky Jade Realm because their presence made the Qi in the realm continue to decline. ”If your story is true, I think I know the reason they disappeared, and they should have migrated to one of the planets in the upper realms.”

”Oh?” Ziʼer and Zhang Xiaoling looked at Zhang Fei in surprise.

”In the past, this planet was not called the Sky Jade Realm, but the Heavenly Wilderness Realm. Moreover, this planet is not a realm in the lower realms, but in the upper realms, and only natural races live in it.” Zhang Fei then narrated the story he had learned from Zefyr and Hu Lili to Ziʼer and Zhang Xiaoling, omitting to mention the statue of the ten-tailed fox or the inscription on it.

”If the phoenixes did live on this planet in the past, Iʼm sure that they followed the heavenly foxes to the upper realms, but I donʼt know which planet they live on now.”

”Tch! I am a human, but I despise other humans, especially since they are too greedy and think about their own ambitions.” Zhang Xiaoling said this in an irritable tone.

”Ha ha.” Zhang Fei laughed at her words. ”Isnʼt greed one of the basic traits of living creatures? Not only humans, but even beasts, are greedy and ambitious. Even we have greed within us, which makes us never satisfied with the achievements we have achieved, and it always drives us to keep moving forward.”

Zhang Xiaoling did not argue with Zhang Fei, especially since she was always like that, and she never felt satisfied with everything she had achieved.

*Tap... Tap... Tap...*

Hearing the sound of many footsteps, Zhang Fei and the two women looked outside, and they saw Yang Yudie walking with several other cultivators towards them. However, they did not see the cultivators from the Central Region, including the moon fox race members, except for Hu Lili, who was still among them.

Zhang Fei asked them directly. ”How did your conversation go?”

”I will represent my race to prevent those heretics from running rampant in the eastern region, so I will stay there for the time being.” Hu Lili was the first to answer Zhang Fei.

Lian Xiang and the two people from the eastern region were relieved by the moon fox raceʼs decision to send Hu Lili to their region, especially since they had no sovereign-level cultivators, so her presence would be of great help to them.

Shen Xueyi later told Zhang Fei. ”People from all clans will assist my mother and grandmother in maintaining the security of the southern region, especially since they are the only ones who have reached the sovereign realm in our region.”

”Sister Mei, Sister Huanʼer, and I will monitor everything from our clans, but I will also ask some other people for help later.” Zhang Fei nodded in agreement with Liu Qingyu. ”In addition. Huaʼer has ordered all members of the demon fox group to spread throughout the region, and their task is specifically to detect the presence of those heretics in our region.”

Yang Yudie also spoke to Zhang Fei. ”As for this central region, our four clans will send our people to all corners of it to search for the location of the fourth blood demon tree, and we will also participate in monitoring those hereticsʼ movements.”

”I think thatʼs fine, so we can narrow down those hereticsʼ movements. However, since we donʼt know their ancestorsʼ strength, you must be careful.” They nodded in agreement with Zhang Fei. ”As for the northern region, I will personally oversee it. Moreover, some of my slaves have already gone to the Xie, Mo, and Gu clans.

This way, I will only have to wait for their information about those three clans, and I will make further plans against the three clans after I get information from them.”

After hearing that, Yang Yudie released a soft sigh and spoke to Zhang Fei again. ”Somehow, I feel that you are more thorough and well-planned than seniors like us, which makes us feel embarrassed, especially since you are still so young.”

”Ha ha.” Zhang Fei laughed awkwardly at her words. ”Mother-in-law, I actually have no interest in getting involved in these matters, but all my wives and family live here, so I have no choice but to get involved in order to ensure their safety.”

”I think thatʼs good, and we definitely wouldnʼt have known about these matters if you hadnʼt gotten involved in them.” Yang Yudie then asked Zhang Fei via voice transmission. ʼI heard from Lingxue that youʼre going to bring them into seclusion, so how long are you all going to be in there?ʼ

Zhang Fei shook his head slightly before answering Yang Yudie. ʼI canʼt be sure about that yet, especially since I intend to reach the earth realm soon. Moreover, not only will we increase our cultivation, but we will also increase our abilities through our seclusion. In addition, I still have many new things to learn, so we will probably be in seclusion for several months.ʼ

Yang Yudie was genuinely taken aback by Zhang Feiʼs response, particularly when he mentioned his intention to reach that stage.

However, she remembered her daughterʼs words that he had only cultivated for a little over two months, but he had already reached the 3-Star Soul Realm now, and he also had many women by his side, so she believed that he could reach that stage much faster compared to other cultivators.

ʼIn that case, you all can concentrate on your seclusion, while we seniors will monitor all regions to prevent those heretics from causing trouble in any region. Anyway, I want you to bring Xiaoling with you, so she can also improve her abilities.ʼ

ʼEh?ʼ Zhang Fei was taken aback by Yang Yudieʼs request, especially since they would often dual-cultivate in the training space, so Zhang Xiaoling would definitely feel uncomfortable seeing and listening to them. ʼMei, can you buy another portable mansion from the system shop?ʼ

[Unfortunately, you can only buy one portable mansion, Master. However, there is another item that is not much different from the portable mansion, but you cannot move it to another place, so it will remain in the training space.]

ʼI think itʼs okay, so I can take the portable mansion out of the training space later.ʼ

[All right, Iʼll buy it now.]

{You got Cloud Manor x1}

{10,000,000 has been deducted from your balance.}

ʼCloud manor, huh? Iʼll take it out later, after I bring them into the training space.ʼ Zhang Fei then replied to Yang Yudie. ʼAll right, I will bring Xiaoling with us, but you must inform her first.ʼ ”Since our business in this region is finished, I will send all of you back to your respective regions.”

First, Zhang Fei opened a portal to the eastern region, and Lian Xiang immediately led them to enter it, including Hu Lili. After that, he opened a portal to the Chu Clan, especially since he no longer saved the location of the southern region, so they could return to that region through the portal in the clan, and Liu Qingyu immediately led them all back.

However, Shen Xueyi did not return to the southern region and waited for Zhang Fei at his new residence, especially since he wanted her to join them in seclusion.

After they all disappeared, Yang Yudie immediately spoke to her granddaughter. ”Xiaoling, I want you to join your aunt and Zhang Fei in entering seclusion and train hard while you are there.”

”Eh?” Zhang Xiaoling was shocked by her grandmotherʼs decision. ”Grandma, they-”

”You donʼt have to worry about us, Xiaoling.” Zhang Lingxue immediately interrupted her niece. ”My husband has a special place for us to dual-cultivate, so you wonʼt see or hear us doing it. Moreover, his training place is truly special, and your abilities will improve greatly after you train there for a long time.”

”Are you serious about that, Aunt?” Zhang Xiaoling asked Zhang Lingxue doubtfully.

”Have I ever lied to you?” Zhang Lingxue turned to asked while shaking her head. ”My husband has many things that other cultivators donʼt have, and he can even cure my old injuries that have devastated me for so many years, so you donʼt need to worry about that.”

Zhang Xiaoling nodded to Zhang Lingxue. ”If he does have such a place, then I will join you guys, and I will train hard there.”

Before that, Yang Yudie took out one set of five set pills that Zhang Fei had given her before, and she handed them to Zhang Xiaoling directly. ”He was the one who gave these pills to me, so you can swallow them while you are in seclusion, and I hope your abilities will improve greatly after you come out.”

Zhang Xiaoling immediately looked at Zhang Fei in surprise after she saw one of the pills, but he just smiled at her and asked Mei to open the portal to the training space, which shocked the three women from the Zhang Clan. ”Lingxue, you can bring her in now, and I will bring the others later to catch up with you two.”

”All right.” Zhang Lingxue swiftly grasped Zhang Xiaolingʼs hand, guiding her into the training area, while Mei promptly closed the portal.

Following that, Zhang Fei bid farewell to Yang Yudie and Ziʼer before vanishing from their sight, causing them to shake their heads. They immediately returned to their respective rooms to swallow the pills.

As soon as they arrived inside, Zhang Xiaoling was immediately stunned and looked around the interior area before turning her gaze towards the portable mansion. ”Who lives there, aunt? Are you going to dual-cultivate with him in there?”

”No.” Zhang Lingxue shook her head at Zhang Xiaoling. ”We usually dual-cultivate in this area, but my husband has prepared something so that you donʼt have to watch us. Anyway, his clone is dual-cultivating with his partners right now, so you shouldnʼt go there.”

”Huh?” Zhang Xiaoling turned to Zhang Lingxue in surprise. ”Does he really have clones? Does that mean his partners are also members of his harem?”

”Ha ha.” That made Zhang Lingxue laugh. ”In fact, my husband has three clones: one in the mansion, one in the northern region, and one in another realm. Moreover, his clones are truly unique, especially since they do not have their own personalities, and they are all one entity, so he can hear and see everything they see and hear.

As for his partners, they are not members of his harem, and only certain women he chooses to be members of his harem, including me. Thatʼs why he uses his clones to dual-cultivate with them, especially since he needs a lot of things to improve himself. Otherwise, his cultivation wouldnʼt be able to improve that fast in just a little over two months, right?”

”Your husband is indeed the craziest dual cultivator among them.” Zhang Xiaoling expressed this by shaking her head. ”Has he ever used his clones to dual-cultivate with you and the others?”

”No.” Zhang Lingxue denied her question immediately. ”My husband is too possessive, so he will never let other men touch us, even if they are his clones. Moreover, he himself is too strong for us, so he doesnʼt need help to satisfy us.”

”Shameless!” Zhang Xiaoling shouted at Zhang Lingxue. ”You were a shy and reserved woman before you met him, but you have become so shameless now!”

”Haha.” Zhang Lingxue laughed and pulled Zhang Xiaoling to the center area. ”This device is the main control of this training space, and you can start practicing using one of its features.”

Instead, Zhang Xiaoling pointed at Zefyr, who was resting on the side with four other women. ”Hey Aunt, who is that woman? How come her body is so small? Additionally, she is not human, right?”

”Oh, her name is Zefyr, and she is a member of the fairy race.” Zhang Xiaoling was surprised for a moment to hear that, but she immediately remembered Zhang Feiʼs previous story. ”Anyway, Iʼm going to activate the gravity feature now, and the gravity here will be two times heavier than outside, so you better get ready now.”

Before Zhang Xiaoling could ask, Zhang Lingxue had already activated the gravity feature first, which caused her to fall to the ground. ”Ugh! You shouldʼve waited for me to prepare first, Aunt Lingxue!”

”All right, stop complaining and start adapting to the weight.” Zhang Lingxue then walked away from her niece.

Zhang Xiaoling was annoyed by that, but she was also surprised to see Zhang Lingxue could walk so casually under the pressure of heavy gravity. ʼTch! If Aunt Lingxue can do it, then I can do it too!ʼ

Meanwhile, Zhang Fei had arrived at his new residence, and he was satisfied to see that Ming Han and the others had become cultivators. He then explained to them about his plans, and he asked them to go to the Chu Clan often and cultivate there, which they readily agreed to.

After that, Zhang Fei gave the Wen Twins all the items he had brought from Earth and instructed them to arrange them in his shop first. Once everything was finished, he took all the women into the training space, with the exception of Zhang Chen and Xu Lingʼer.
