Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 687: Meng Qiʼs Arrival

Inside an inn, Qu Qiuxue lay on the bed as she curled up, enduring the pain in all her internal organs. Fortunately, she had covered her room with a soundproof formation, so no one heard her screams of pain. ”Argh! What exactly happened to me? Why do my internal organs hurt so much every night? Damn it! It was the second time, and it started after I left the Bai Kingdom.”

*Bam*

Someone suddenly kicked open Qu Qiuxueʼs room door from the outside, and two people rushed in. Wei Chou and Han Ling immediately approached her on the bed and checked her condition.

After she experienced pain for the first time, Qu Qiuxue immediately contacted her senior to pick her up. When Wei Chou received the news, he immediately brought Han Ling to her location.

”What are the symptoms?”

As she endured the pain, Qu Qiuxue explained to them what she was going through, causing Wei Chou and Han Ling to frown.

Han Ling immediately carried Qu Qiuxue out. ”Senior Brother, letʼs head back to our shop immediately, and I will conduct a thorough examination of her body once we return.”

”All right.”

Above the flying artifact, Han Ling attempted to alleviate Qu Qiuxueʼs pain, but his efforts proved futile, particularly because she continued to experience excruciating pain from her internal organs.

Wei Chou stood at the stern while staring toward the east, specifically toward the Bai Kingdom. Was it Zhang Fei or the mysterious woman who had done this to Qu Qiuxue? What exactly did they give her? Why is she in so much pain?ʼ

Wei Chou decided to contact the Alchemy Unionʼs higher-ups to report Qu Qiuxueʼs situation. They informed him that Nanfeng Yunxi would arrive in less than a week and asked him to wait for her arrival. ʼSigh! Since Han Ling couldnʼt handle her pain, I had no other choice but to wait for that woman. She is Elder Xiu Hanyuʼs direct disciple, so she should be able to help Qiuxue.ʼ

Du She has arrived at Huangfu Palace, but no one knows his true identity, especially since Zhang Fei has transformed him into Huangfu Shouʼs favorite concubine.

Since he was used to visiting the Huangfu royal palace, Du She had no trouble finding Ruo Yanxiʼs room. He found her fast asleep on the bed, and he carefully snuck into her room.

When he arrived at the bedside, Du She took out a bottle and opened the lid, holding it close to Ruo Yanxiʼs face. In an instant, a poisonous gas emerged from the bottle, which she involuntarily inhaled, causing a slight pain to appear on her face.

Feeling the pain, Ruo Yanxi opened her eyes, and her expression turned to shock after she saw Du Sheʼs face. Unfortunately, the poison gas had already taken its toll on her body, significantly weakening her.

”Who are you? Why are you disguised as me?” Du She just smiled and knocked Ruo Yanxi unconscious.

A shadow immediately appeared by his side before turning into a woman, who was none other than He Ya. ”Leave her to me.”

After she lifted Ruo Yanxi onto her shoulders, He Ya immediately took her away from the Huangfu royal palace. On Zhang Feiʼs orders, she took her to the Black Fang Sect.

After they disappeared, Du She immediately changed into Ruo Yanxiʼs clothes from the wardrobes. Then, he lay on her bed, waiting for Huangfu Shou to come to him.

Huangfu Shou entered his two daughtersʼ room and approached Helian Yueyi, who was sitting by their bed. ”Are they still in pain?”

”I asked Luan Yingwu to make our daughters unconscious so they wouldnʼt feel their pain. However, we canʼt leave them in this condition forever, or they will really die.” Helian Yueyi then asked him. ”Has Senior Li given you any news, Husband?”

Huangfu Shou took a seat next to her and shared some information with her. ”Senior Li has just arrived in the upper realms, and he is on his way to The Grand Royal Realm to see my ancestors.”

Helian Yueyiʼs expression turned gloomy after Huangfu Shou said that, especially since Li Tiannan had been gone for almost a month, but he had just arrived in the upper realms. Moreover, he had not yet arrived in that realm, and he still needed some time to get there, in which case he would return to their realm much later.

”I understand your feelings, but we canʼt do anything to help our daughters. For now, we can only wait for Senior Li to return, and I hope my ancestors have something to save them.” After he had accompanied Helian Yueyi for some time, Huangfu Shou left their daughtersʼ room for Ruo Yanxiʼs room.

Huangfu Shou was having fun with his concubine, but unfortunately, he couldnʼt tell that the woman was Du She rather than Ruo Yanxi.

Once the notification appeared, Zhang Xiaolong [3] brought Hong Xinxin back to the house, especially since the intensity and power of the thunderstorm had decreased considerably. They continued their activities in their rooms, and he took turns dual-cultivating with Murong Qianying.

On the demon island, Feltia [2] continued to monitor Zhou Xiaochuan and the othersʼ movements. However, they were resting inside a cave to recover their Qi and injuries, especially considering that they had fought numerous demon beasts since their arrival on the island two days ago.

Feltia [2] wanted to disturb them by leading the beasts there, but Zhou Xiaochuan and Kong Zhi set up double protection in front of the cave mouth, forcing him to abandon his intention. Instead, he went to another area to complete one of the daily quests, but he did not take the female demons with him, especially since they were also exhausted after they had trained so hard since he brought them to the island.

In the Guo Clan, Zhang Fei [5] spent his time together with Yun Xinyue inside the lightning pond, and they didnʼt seem to want to leave the place. Meanwhile, Zhong Yan and Angela took a break by the side of the pond, as their bodies were unable to endure the lightning for longer than six hours, necessitating a six-hour rest before they could resume their training.

After he had been doing alchemy for a few days, Zhang Fei [4] finally succeeded in concocting the new pills. However, their grade was too low, so he kept repeating it many times to achieve the best results.

Since Zhang Fei was on his honeymoon with Xian Xianqin, his other wives focused on their respective cultivation. However, some of them chose to train using the battle simulation instead of cultivating.

Zhang Yue was the most enthusiastic among them, especially since she had not fully mastered the sub-techniques in the ice phoenix scripture. She wanted to reach the perfection stage of each sub-technique as soon as possible, and she wanted to help Zhang Fei fight their enemies, so she practiced harder than usual.

Early in the morning, Xian Xianqin brought Zhang Fei to meet her parents to pay respects. However, Xian Xianwu and Yao Yin did not join them, and they were still sleeping soundly in their room.

Unlike before, Zhang Fei didnʼt bring everyone out of the training space. He only brought his wives and the women in charge of the three shops and restaurants, leaving the others to focus on their cultivation and training.

Ximen Chuixue reported to Zhang Fei that he and the others had managed to control almost all the outer regions of the kingdom. He then conveyed the information to Xian Feng, who immediately contacted Xian Luo to prepare additional people to help them.

Unlike the two men, Shi Qingzhuang was more interested in Zhang Fei and Xian Xianqinʼs wedding night, so she interrogated her daughter about it.

Although she was embarrassed to tell her mother about it, Xian Xianqin still told her. She also informed Shi Qingzhuang that Zhang Fei had given Xian Xianwu a pill before his wedding night with Yao Yin, which left both of them exhausted.

After they talked with Xian Feng and Shi Qingzhuang, Zhang Fei immediately brought Xian Xianqin to Earth. However, they didnʼt spend much time there, and he immediately brought his wife back after he took all the items from the warehouse in all countries.

Zhang Fei wanted to take Xian Xianqin back into the training space, but she told him they had to stay in the palace for at least three days after their wedding, and he agreed to that.

After all, Zhang Fei had five clones that could help him improve himself in some aspects at once, so it wasnʼt a big deal for him. As for his other wives, he only needed to supply them with his yang qi, and they could manage the rest themselves.

Zhang Fei then tried to find Han Yuanzhi and her family in the Xian capital, but he couldnʼt, as they immediately returned to the Bai Kingdom after his marriage to Xian Xianqin.

Three days quickly passed, and Zhang Fei immediately said goodbye to Xian Feng and Shi Qingzhuang. He brought Xian Xianqin into the training space afterward.

Xian Xianqin immediately joined Qian Ying and the others in the training ground, and Zhang Fei accompanied all his wives and women in the Cloud Mansion.

When the sun rose, Zhang Fei escorted everyone out of the training space. They had been training for too long, and he asked them to rest for a day or two.

When they arrived outside, Feng Yao immediately told Zhang Fei that Meng Qiʼs flying artifact had just entered the Nine Stars Realm. He immediately brought the phoenix princess to meet her, shocking her.

”How did you two know that I had arrived?” Meng Qi asked them.

Feng Yao told her directly. ”This flying artifact belongs to my mother and has our phoenix aura, so I know youʼve arrived.”

”I see.” Meng Qi nodded in understanding before asking Zhang Fei. ”Can you send me back to the Sky Jade Realm now? Iʼve been missing for several months, and I know my sister is worried about me, so I want to return to see her right away.”

Zhang Fei immediately asked Mei to open the gate to the Sky Jade Realm. ”You will arrive at the Chu Clan once you enter it, and you can use the teleportation device there to go to the Liu Clan in the southern river city.”

”Thank you.” Meng Qi replied with a soft sigh.

”Wait a minute.” Meng Qi turned to Zhang Fei again. ”Are you interested in bringing your clan to move to this realm? People from the Chu, Liu, Ye, Zhang, Zhu, Shen, and Chang clans live in this realm now. If you are interested in that, you can discuss it with Meng Guanqiu first, and I will meet you two there in a few days.”

After she spent several months in the Blossom Heaven Realm, Meng Qi naturally realized that the quality and quantity of Qi in the middle realms were much more useful to her and her clan members compared to their home realm. Zhang Feiʼs offer was tempting to her, but she also couldnʼt decide on it directly. ”I will discuss this matter with Guanqiu first, and I will give you our answer when you meet us.”

Following the disappearance of Meng Qi and the gate, Feng Yao immediately questioned Zhang Fei. ”Why did you change your mind about her? Do you want to keep her by your side?”

”Haha.” Zhang Fei laughed before shaking his head. ”As I said before, I donʼt know Meng Qi, so I havenʼt decided whether I will keep her by my side or not. However, she has grown quite strong, and her Meng Clan is also quite large. If they stay here, I can bring them into the demon fox group, and my group will grow bigger with them.”

”You want to use them for your gain, huh?” Zhang Fei smiled at Feng Yao, who immediately stored her motherʼs flying artifact in her storage ring. She then used her senses to check in the direction of the Zhou Kingdom. ”Your people seem to be starting to face difficulties, especially since powerful cultivators guard the inner and central areas of the kingdom. If you donʼt step in to help them, they will definitely lose or die at their hands.”

”Youʼre right.” Zhang Fei did not immediately decide. Instead, his second clone moved first to monitor the movements of Zhou Xiaochuan and the others. ”They decided to give up and turn around.”

”Are you going to let them return to their kingdom?”

Zhang Fei nodded to Feng Yao. ”I donʼt want Zhou Xiaochuan and Kong Zhi to die, so Iʼll let them go back. Moreover, their condition is extremely poor, and they have suffered greatly from the demon beastsʼ attacks over the past few days. I think this is my best chance to take action against them, but I canʼt do it alone, and Iʼll ask Shang Yumei to help me do it. Once my business with them is finished, I will prepare myself to face Huangfu Shou. Anyway, please help them so they can take over the entire kingdom faster.”

”All right, I will help them, but I will only do it from behind, and they have to keep trying on their own.”

After Feng Yao disappeared, Zhang Fei went straight to the Xian Capital to check on Han Bingxingʼs progress. He wanted to open the third branch of his restaurant and shop as soon as possible, and she would become the chef for his restaurant.

Zhu Yan told Zhang Fei that Han Bingxing was ready for it, but she advised him to send someone familiar with Earthʼs dishes to assist her.

Although Liu Qingyu is not an Earthling, she has mastered cooking Earthʼs dishes, so Zhang Fei chose her to assist Han Bingxing in his new restaurant. Moreover, Liu Hua decided to go to the Bai Kingdom, so she was the best choice since they were biological sisters.

After discussing his plans to open his new restaurant with Zhu Yan and Han Bingxing, Zhang Fei immediately returned to his residence and took Ru Xue to the Sky Jade Realm to retrieve all the medical equipment left there so they could open a clinic in the Xian capital.

In the sky above the demon island, Feltia [2] stood there with the female demons, watching Zhou Xiaochuanʼs flying artifact quickly leave the island.

Feltia [2] checked the Zheng Clan through her map, but she still did not find any signs that the three ancestors of the Zheng Clan would appear.

After he gave some instructions to Xin Yanluo, Feltia [2] brought Ashreth and the others to the portable mansion, especially since they had been training on the demon island for several days. Their demon power had increased quite significantly, even though their demon ranks had not yet increased.

”Big Sis!” Meng Guanqiu shouted and ran out as soon as she saw Meng Qi enter their clan. She hugged her big sister very tightly as tears started to fall from her eyes. ”Iʼm glad youʼre alive, Big Sis.”

Meng Qi let out a soft sigh and hugged her little sister back. ”Iʼm sorry for worrying you, but Iʼm back now, and I wonʼt leave you again.”

”Yeah.” Meng Guanqiu then released her hug from Meng Qi and looked her up and down. ”What happened to you? Where did the space rift take you? Why does it feel like youʼve changed so much? Moreover, your cultivation is much higher than mine now.”

”Itʼll take a long time to tell you everything, so we should go in now, and Iʼll tell you everything.” Meng Guanqiu nodded and pulled Meng Qi away to her room, where they spent quite a bit of time together.
