Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 469: Opportunity

Zhang Xiaolong [3]ʼs question made Shang Yaolin feel confused about answering him, especially after she remembered the dreams she had in the past two nights, which were related to him.

”Did you never like me, Big Sis?”

”Eh?” Shang Yaolin immediately came back to her senses and shook her head in denial. ”Youʼre wrong, Longʼer. I like you, so I brought you to this realm to keep me company. I donʼt know if Iʼll be crazy about you when you grow up, especially since I still canʼt picture your grown-up face, so weʼll know the answer to your question in a few years.”

”Hehe.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] then curled up in Shang Yaolinʼs embrace. ”I canʼt wait to grow up, Big Sis.”

”Hmm? Why do you want to grow up so much? I actually hope that you never grow up, because you were cuter when you were little like this.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] looked up slightly and whispered into Shang Yaolinʼs ear, but his words left him dumbfounded for a while. She then hugged him as she ruffled his hair. ”You little kid!

Youʼre only ten, but youʼre already thinking about finding a wife and dual-cultivating with her!”

”Ugh! Stop it, Big Sis! Youʼre messing up my hair!” Zhang Xiaolong [3] complained as he held Shang Yaolinʼs hand. ”My dad said that dual-cultivating was very fun, and he always looked satisfied after he did it with my mom, so I was curious about it. Unfortunately, I can only do that after I grow up, right?

Thatʼs why I canʼt wait to grow up, so I can find a woman who accepts me for who I am, and I can dual-cultivate with her.”

Shang Yaolin helplessly shook her head at Zhang Xiaolong [3]ʼs answer. ”Your father is truly a bad teacher! He shouldnʼt have taught you about dual cultivation so early!”

”Haha.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] laughed out loud in response to her. ”Big Sis, have you ever been curious about dual cultivation? After all, you are already hundreds of years old, and my father often said that the older we get, the higher our sex drive will be, so I thought that you—Ouch... Ouch... Big Sis... Spare me!

Donʼt pinch my cheek this hard!”

”You little shit! How dare you say Iʼm old!? Even though Iʼm hundreds of years old, Iʼm still as young as a teenage girl!” With a furious expression, Shang Yaolin pinched Zhang Xiaolong [3]ʼs cheek, causing him to instantly adopt a pitiful face and puppy eyes.

ʼTch! This woman is too sensitive to the word old!ʼ

”Humph! Iʼll have Aunt Xinxin beat you harder if you dare call me old one more time.” Shang Yaolin immediately stopped her actions and rubbed his cheek. ”Honestly, I feel that my sexual drive is increasing as I get older, but I donʼt want to think about such things, so I always focus on my training.

Anyway, I am interested in the dual cultivation path, but I wonʼt do it with a random man, let alone with many men, like those female dual cultivators in the Sun and Moon Sect. Actually, I already have the dual cultivation technique that my aunt gave me in the past, and I have mastered it quite a bit.

However, I will only use it after I find a husband of my choice, so my husband and I will be like your parents, who are loyal to each other. What about you? Will you also be loyal to your wife, just as your father was loyal to your mother?”

”My father is indeed loyal to my mother, but he stated that a dual cultivator would be better if we had many wives, especially since that is what dual cultivation is all about. Thatʼs why he gave me the Yin Qi from many women in the past, especially since I need the power to protect myself.” Shang Yaolinʼs face instantly darkened upon hearing Zhang Xiaolong [3]ʼs words.

”However, I donʼt know what my future will be like; whether I will be as loyal as my father or not, weʼll find out in the future. As you said before, Iʼm still too young, so I havenʼt thought that far ahead, and Iʼll think about it after I grow up into a man.”

Shang Yaolin let out a helpless sigh and laid down again. ”Longʼer, I hope you grow up to be a loyal man like your father, and whoever becomes your wife in the future will surely be delighted to have such a loyal husband.”

ʼHeh! If you knew about the number of my wives and partners, you would probably die of shock!ʼ Zhang Xiaolong [3] then inquired. ”Is the Sun and Moon Sect specifically designed for dual cultivators, Big Sis?”

”Yeah.” Shang Yaolin then told Zhang Xiaolong [3] about the sectʼs outline. ”Even though Aunt Murong Fuyin is my maternal aunt and always treats me well, I always feel disgusted and hateful towards her, especially since she always acts like a prostitute. She is one of the elders in the sect, and she has two male partners.”

”Thatʼs disgusting!” Zhang Xiaolong [3] screamed after hearing that. ”If I had a wife or partner, I would never let any man touch them, and I would kill anyone who dared to think of doing such a thing with them.”

”I like that, Longʼer.” Shang Yaolin replied with a slight nod. ”You are a man, so you should protect your wife or partner from other men. If a man cannot protect his wife or partner, then he should castrate himself, and it would be even better if he just committed suicide.”

Shang Yaolinʼs words made Zhang Xiaolong [3] laugh. ”Haha! Big Sis, thereʼs no way they would dare to castrate themselves, let alone commit suicide. Only a few, according to my father, would fight back when another man took their partner, while the majority would give up and find other women.”

”Well, thatʼs true.” Shang Yaolin gave a nod of approval to that. ”There are many such incidents in my realm, and most of them just give up without any intention of taking revenge on the men who stole their women. Thatʼs why I find it difficult to choose a suitable man to be my husband, especially since most of them are cowards.

Anyway, your father taught you to be a dual cultivator, so he already gave you the dual cultivation technique, right? Can you show it to me?”

”Sure.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] promptly shared a dual cultivation technique with Shang Yaolin, but it was merely a random technique found in the system shop.

Shang Yaolin immediately read the technique, but he looked disappointed because it was only a spirit-grade dual cultivation technique. After giving it some thought, she touched Zhang Xiaolongʼs forehead and decided to give him the dual cultivation technique that Murong Fuyin had taught her.

[Ding]

[You obtained the Sun-Moon Harmony Sutra. Grade: Celestial.]

”Your dual cultivation technique is too low in grade, so I gave it to you so that you can become a better dual cultivator, and I got it from Aunt Fuyin.”

”Iʼll read it now, Big Sis.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately closed his eyes to read the technique, but he felt disappointed after reading it. ʼThis Sun-Moon Harmony Sutra canʼt compare to the Flawless Yin-Yang Art, especially since we still have to cultivate the Yin and Yang Qi we absorb, and the effects arenʼt anything special either.

Even so, itʼs much better than the technique I taught Quan Xun back then, especially since that technique was only at earth grade.ʼ

Seeing the dissatisfaction on Zhang Xiaolong [3]ʼs face, Shang Yaolin immediately asked. ”Why is your expression this way? Is the dual cultivation technique not good for you? Actually, only the sect master and elders of the Sun and Moon Sect can learn that technique, and its grade is much higher than the technique your father taught you.”

”Youʼre wrong, Big Sis.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] denied with a shake of his head. ”Actually, the technique is very good, but I canʼt learn or use it alone, and I need a partner to use it.”

”Ahh!” Shang Yaolin let out a soft cry after remembering it. ”Thatʼs right! That technique can only be used when you and your partner dual-cultivate, and you donʼt have a partner yet.”

”Thatʼs why I feel disappointed, especially since the technique is good, but I canʼt use it yet. For the time being, I will focus on using the dual cultivation technique my father gave me, especially since I donʼt need a partner to use it.” Zhang Xialong [3] then looked out of the cave. ”Sigh! The temperature here is getting colder, and the snowstorm still shows no signs of abating.”

”Are you feeling cold?”

”Yes, Iʼm getting cold, Big Sis.”

Shang Yaolin immediately took a thick coat made of beast skin and fur from his storage ring, removed his clothes, and hugged Zhang Xiaolong in the coat. ”Are you still cold now?”

”Yes.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately snuggled into Shang Yaolinʼs chest while hugging her, but a faint smile appeared on his face. ”Do you think Aunt Xinxin will look for us?”

”No.” Shang Yaolin once again looked out. ”Instead of abating, this snowstorm seems to be getting stronger, and Aunt Xinxinʼs lightning element is powerless in the face of such a strong ice element, so we can only wait for the storm to subside. Anyway, if you are tired and sleepy, you can go to sleep, and I will take care of you.”

”Iʼm not tired or sleepy, and I want to know more about your realm, so you can tell me more about it, Big Sis.”

”All right.”

Time passes quickly, and itʼs already very late in all of the cultivation worlds. Since they had been cultivating their souls for most of the day, Zhang Fei decided to stop and slowly pull his Yang Qi back from the souls of the eight women, so they immediately followed him by pulling their Yin Qi back.

After their conditions had completely calmed down, they immediately put their souls back in their bodies.

”How do you all feel?”

”Great!” The eight women answered in unison.

From the side, Boitata immediately hugged Zhang Fei. ”So, husband, what level are our soul powers at now?”

”Since my own soul power is not really high yet, I canʼt help you too much for now, so your soul powers are all at the half-perfection stage at the mortal soul level.”

”I donʼt think itʼs a big deal, right? We started cultivating our souls yesterday, but our soul powers have already been broken through two stages in a day, so Iʼm already satisfied with that.” Shen Xueyi and the others nodded in agreement with Zhang Lingxue.

”Moreover, we have plenty of time to cultivate our souls again, and Zhang Xiaolong [3] also received great help in the Wasteland Realm, so Iʼm sure our soul power will continue to increase rapidly.”

”I agree with Sister Lingxue.” Shen Yu said it with a nod. ”Husband, we are different from you, and we donʼt have your advantages. Like our cultivation, we also canʼt increase our soul powers too quickly, so Iʼm already satisfied with our results.”

Liu Hua then looked at the Wen Twins and Zhang Feiʼs slaves. ”Feiʼer, weʼve cultivated our souls enough today, and you can help them if youʼre not tired yet.”

”Letʼs go, Sister Lian and Ziqing.” Chu Ying spoke as she lifted the two women to their feet. ”Our husband still has to help them, so we have time to rest, or weʼll be exhausted if he suddenly wants to eat us.”

After that, Chu Ying, Ye Lian, and Zhao Ziqin immediately ran into the Cloud Mansion to rest, making Zhang Fei shake his head in amusement at their antics.

Since Zhang Fei was going to help them, Boitata decided to go into the beast space, especially since it was the best place for her to rest. Zhang Lingxue, Liu Hua, Shen Xueyi, and Shen Yu decided to follow the three young women back to the Cloud Mansion to rest.

After he released his soul again, Zhang Fei immediately called the Wen Twins, Mei Xiang, Qiao Fei, Qiao Ran, Ba Shuxiang, and Xie Jingxian. Since they had seen him do it with the eight women before, they immediately released their cultivation souls, and he began to help them improve their soul power, which was also beneficial to himself.

After they had waited for almost a day, the snowstorm finally subsided, and Shang Yaolin immediately brought Zhang Xiaolong [3] back to the Shang Clan residence. However, Hong Xinxin was already waiting for them in their room, and she seemed angry that he was absent from their training, but she decided to let it go after they explained their situation before to her.

”All right, you two can rest now, but you have to start your training again tomorrow morning, and I will increase your training in exchange for todayʼs.”

Shang Yaolin wanted to refute Hong Xinxin, but Zhang Xialong [3] immediately stopped her. ”Itʼs okay, Aunt Xinxin. Iʼm fine with it, and Iʼll definitely get through it.”

”Thatʼs good.”

After Hong Xinxin left, Shang Yaolin immediately asked in an annoyed tone. ”Why do you have to force yourself? What if you suffer a serious injury from your training?”

”Big Sis, no pain, no gain, remember? Moreover, itʼs the fastest way for me to temper my body, and my body isnʼt as weak as you think, so you donʼt have to worry about me, okay?” Zhang Xiaolong [3]ʼs answer actually made Shang Yaolin even more annoyed, and she immediately turned her back to him before closing her eyes.

[Master, I know her clan is your enemy, but Shang Yaolin is actually not bad, and she clearly cares about you very much.]

Zhang Xiaolong [3] did not deny Meiʼs opinion; instead, he admitted it. ʼShang Yaolin is indeed a good woman, but her family and clan are too evil. They even planned to control me and contract me by force, remember?

Furthermore, she consented to their plan, so thereʼs no need for me to show her kindness, correct?ʼ Mei herself was aware of this, but she felt sorry for her if Zhang Xiaolong [3] were to lead her into a life of misery. ʼAnyway, do you think the pillʼs effects on her body have worn off?ʼ

[I think the effects are still in her body, master. Unfortunately, I canʼt detect any residue of the pill in her body, and strangely enough, its effects only work when sheʼs asleep.]

Zhang Xiaolong [3] fell into deep thought and thought about what kind of pill it actually was, especially since it caused Shang Yaolin to keep dreaming about Shang Xiaojuan for days. Before long, he heard her start to mention the manʼs name again, indicating that the effects were still lingering in her body, so he was forced to lock up her subconscious again.

[What are your plans now, master? Are you going to meet Qiao Liangren at the top of the mountain now?]

ʼNo.ʼ Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately opened his map to search for Huang Qinghua and Hao Jianxiuʼs location, and he found that they were in a garden not far from their residence. However, several men were with them, including Shang Wuzi, so he immediately gave up his intention to meet them. He then checked on Hong Xinxin and found that she was sleeping with Shang Guangming.

ʼIs anyone monitoring me, Mei?ʼ

[The system didnʼt detect anything, so thereʼs no one watching you right now, master. Are you planning to go to Shang Xiaoyinʼs secret place?]

ʼYeah, I want to use that beast blood pond to temper my body before I train with Hong Xinxin tomorrow, and I also want to dig up those stones.ʼ Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately got out of bed, used his invisibility, and opened a portal to that place. ʼFortunately, the formation doesnʼt limit the space, so I can freely go in and out of that place.ʼ
