Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 814: The Xiong Clan

Zhang Xiaolong [3] raised an eyebrow slightly as Wang Yourou led them to a materials shop. The shop was indeed large and had a wide variety of items, but he didnʼt like its name, especially since it belonged to the Xiong Clan. ”Can we go to another shop?”

”Why?” Wang Yourou asked in confusion. ”The Xiong Clan owns the largest materials shop in this realm, and they sell almost all kinds of items, from building materials, blacksmithing, alchemy, and many more.”

”Nothing.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] then walked in front of them. ”Letʼs go in then.”

Wang Yourou turned to Lin Moxian and Yan Yinqing. ”Does he have problems with the Xiong Clan?”

”He didnʼt have any problems with the Xiong Clan before, but your actions yesterday could cause problems between them.” Lin Moxianʼs answer made Wang Yourou realize something. ”Your cultivation is far above his, but he suppressed you to that extent yesterday. Donʼt you think that will attract their attention?”

Wang Yourou nodded to him. ”We cannot change what has already happened. Since he was able to suppress me like that yesterday, he shouldnʼt have to be afraid of them. Moreover, he has you and Yan Yinqing by his side, so I believe that they wonʼt dare to find trouble with him.”

”You have lived for over two thousand years, but you are naive.” Lin Moxian immediately followed Zhang Xiaolong [3], leaving Wang Yourou dumbfounded.

Yan Yinqing shook her head at Wang Yourouʼs expression. ”Do you think they wouldnʼt dare to look for trouble with my junior brother? Since you yourself dared to look for trouble with him yesterday, they certainly wouldnʼt be afraid to look for trouble with him either.”

Yan Yinqing left behind Wang Yourou, who immediately let out a soft sigh before following them.

In the shop, Zhang Xiaolong [3] first went to the alchemist area, and he bought various kinds of herbs that were not available in the alchemy shop he visited yesterday so he could increase the variety of herbs in the sealed world pearl. He also bought several types of ready-to-use herbs, especially since he wanted to concoct rank four pills to increase his alchemist rank to king rank.

Lin Moxian casually followed behind Zhang Xiaolong [3], but Wang Yourou and Yan Yinqing were looking at items in another area.

Thereafter, Zhang Xiaolong [3] went to the blacksmithing section, and he also bought several types of materials for forging equipment, especially since the materials that Tie Xuan gave him were almost used up. Moreover, Shi Xi was also a blacksmith, and he needed many materials to teach her to perfectly forge a spirit-grade weapon.

”Why did you buy so many forging materials?” Zhang Xiaolong [3] told Lin Moxian about Shi Xi. ”I didnʼt expect there to be someone among your wives who has the metal element. She must be very useful in helping you, especially regarding blacksmithing. How many alchemists are there in your harem?”

”Three of my wives are alchemists, and they learned about alchemy from Feng Yao.” Lin Moxian was not surprised that Zhang Xiaolong [3]ʼs wife learned alchemy from the phoenix princess, especially since her ability in alchemy was quite well known in the upper realms. ”One of them has reached the king rank, and the other two are still at the master rank, but I believe they will reach the grandmaster rank soon. When they reach that rank, they will be able to help me to concoct more pills.”

Lin Moxian nodded in agreement. ”They are not only your wives, but they are also your valuable assets, so you must always protect them, junior brother.”

”Of course, I will always keep them safe, and I will kill anyone who tries to harm them.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] suddenly sensed several gazes directed at him, so he hurriedly searched for those people. He discovered a group of people from the Xiong Clan watching him from upstairs, and some of their names were in red. ʼDo you know Xiong Qinglai and Xiong Yinghao, Senior Brother?ʼ

Lin Moxian immediately understood the meaning behind Zhang Xiaolong [3]ʼs question. ʼXiong Qinglai is the first young master of the Xiong Clan, and he will be the one to inherit the clan in the future. Xiong Yinghao was the first child of Xiong Changheʼs second wife, and his character was the worst among their generation. You must not bring anyone among your wives into this realm, or that little bastard will use any means to kidnap them.ʼ

ʼAre there people stronger than Xiong Changhe in the Xiong Clan?ʼ Zhang Xiaolong [3] asked again.

Lin Moxian gave a light nod. ʼXiong Yehui is Xiong Changheʼs father, and his cultivation has already reached the 1-Moon Divine Ascension Realm. His wife, Duan Menghua, also has the same cultivation as her husband. By the way, that old woman is also a soul cultivator, and her abilities in the soul cultivation path are only below our masterʼs, so you must always be wary of her.ʼ

ʼI see.ʼ Zhang Xiaolong [3] naturally would not underestimate Lin Moxianʼs warning, but he was not too afraid of the people from the Xiong Clan. After that, he proceeded to the building materials area and purchased some items to renovate his store to meet his needs.

Xiong Qinglai and Xiong Yinghao suddenly walked down from upstairs while watching Zhang Xiaolong [3], but they did not approach him because of Lin Moxianʼs presence by his side. Instead, they approached Yan Yinqing and Wang Yourou, who were still looking at items in another area.

Compared to a blacksmith, Xiong Qinglaiʼs appearance was more like a scholar with a plain white hanfu covering his tall body. In contrast, Xiong Yinghaoʼs appearance was more like a scoundrel and a lecher, and he deliberately showed off his well-built body by opening the upper half of his hanfu.

Yan Yinqing herself was quite familiar with the characters of the two men, especially Xiong Yinghaoʼs character. He did not linger there and moved to the side of Zhang Xiaolong [3] and Lin Moxian, leaving Wang Yourou alone in that area.

Wang Yourou wanted to run towards them, but the two men immediately blocked her. Xiong Yinghao nonchalantly held her hand and teased her, causing her to scream and threaten him. ”If you continue to bother me, I will ask my grandfather to revoke the permits of this shop, and your Xiong Clan will never be able to trade in this realm again.”

From a distance, Zhang Xiaolong [3] smiled in amusement when he heard Wang Yourouʼs threat to Xiong Yinghao. She was already two thousand years old, but her behavior was far more immature when compared to Xu Lingʼer or Wu Lianzhi, who were still 11 and 12 years old.

”Haha.” Xiong Yinghao laughed and let go of Wang Yourouʼs hand. ”Young Miss Wang, I was just joking with you, so you donʼt need to threaten me like this, right?”

”Humph!” Wang Yourou coldly snorted. ”You are not worthy of touching me, you lecherous bastard! If you dare to touch me once again, I will immediately complain about you to my grandfather! If necessary, I will complain about you to Uncle Nameless One, and your Xiong Clan will suffer the consequences!”

Xiong Yinghaoʼs face darkened as soon as Wang Yourou mentioned the Nameless Oneʼs name, and he wanted to reply to her, but Xiong Qinglai stopped him by pressing his white fan to his chest. ”Brother—”

”Forget it.” Xiong Qinglai glanced at Zhang Xiaolong [3] and asked Wang Yourou. ”Do you know who that young man is, Yourou? You two had some problems with each other yesterday, but you two are together like old friends today.”

”Our relationship is none of your business!” Wang Yourou immediately escaped from the two men by running toward Zhang Xiaolong [3] and the others. ”Have you bought everything you need?”

”Senior Sister, I would rather not have any problems with your admirers, so please donʼt get too close to me.” Wang Yourou flew into a rage as soon as he said that, but Zhang Xiaolong [3] paid her no mind and hurriedly left the shop together with Lin Moxian and Yan Yinqing.

*Bam... Bam...*

”That little bastard!” Wang Yourou angrily shouted as she stamped both feet on the floor, but she immediately followed by running behind them.

In the distance, Xiong Qinglai squinted his eyes as he stared at Zhang Xiaolong [3]ʼs back. Xiong Yinghao patted his shoulder and asked. ”Is that kid really the blacksmith that Yuan Kong talked about?”

”Yes.” Xiong Qinglai nodded at him. ”The kidʼs characteristics are the same as what Yuan Kong mentioned, and he previously bought a lot of forging materials from our shop, so Iʼm sure heʼs the one. Old Yuan told our father that kid had relations with the Murong, Shang, Hong, and Tie Clans. However, I didnʼt expect that he also had relations with the Lin, Yan, and Wang clans.”

”What do you think his purpose in coming to this realm is besides opening a shop?”

Xiong Qinglai folded his white fan, gripped it tightly, and fell into thought. ”I heard from a member of the Blacksmith Union that he was looking for Ji Changlan yesterday, but that person didnʼt know his purpose for looking for Old Ji.”

”Should we send someone to follow him?”

”Our father has already sent someone to tail him, so we donʼt need to bother sending anyone else.” Xiong Qinglai then walked out. ”Rather than thinking about him, you should focus on your task.”

Xiong Yinghao became serious as soon as his brother mentioned that. ”When those people come to this realm? The Nameless One and the others have been gone for five months, but they still havenʼt come.”

”There are many eyes and ears, so be careful when you speak.” Xiong Yinghao nodded slightly to Xiong Qinglai. ”Complete your task as soon as possible.”

”All right, Iʼll take care of it now.”

After Xiong Yinghao left, Xiong Qinglai went to another area, where a person wearing a black hood was waiting for him. He then knelt on one knee and greeted him. ”Master.”

”What about your assignment?” The voice indicated that the person was an old man. Xiong Qinglai informed him of several things, including about Zhang Xiaolong [3] and Lin Moxian. ”The others will arrive in a few days, and they will take care of the two kids, so you just need to focus on that.”

”Yes, Master.” The old man then gave Xiong Qinglai something. ”Will the leader also come to this realm, Master?”

”Haha.” The old man laughed horribly. ”The Nameless One is absent; therefore, the leader will not come to this realm, and we will take care of everything. Go back now, or people will be suspicious of you.”

”Yes, Master.”

After Xiong Qinglai walked away, the old man immediately disappeared from that place. Unfortunately, both of them were unaware of the existence of the Demonʼs Eye Orb, which Zhang Xiaolong [3] had intentionally used to monitor the first young master of the Xiong Clan.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] and the others had already arrived in front of the inn, but Wang Yourou continued to follow them. ”Why donʼt you go back to your clan, Senior Sister? Itʼs getting late, and we want to rest, so you can go back now.”

”You—”

”Oh, I know!” Wang Yourou raised an eyebrow at Zhang Xiaolong [3]. ”If you want to experience an orgasm like yesterday, you can tell me directly, and I will be happy to assist you.”

Wang Yourouʼs face turned red from embarrassment and anger after Zhang Xiaolong [3] brought up the matter. ”Humph! I wonʼt let you touch me again!”

”Hahaha.” The three of them burst into laughter because Wang Yourou immediately ran away like a frightened rabbit.

”I want to talk about something, but letʼs go to Aunt Lingyanʼs room first.” After they arrived at the room, Zhang Xiaolong [3] told the three of them the information he had obtained earlier. ”I donʼt know the old manʼs identity because he was wearing a hood, but Iʼm sure he doesnʼt have good intentions. The Xiong Clan, or rather, Xiong Qinglai and Xiong Yinghao, are his lackeys.”

”How did you manage to eavesdrop on them without them knowing, Junior Brother?” Yan Yinqing curiously asked.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] showed them the Demonʼs Eye Orb. ”The function of this orb is to spy on others. I previously sensed the ill intentions of those two men, so I used it to spy on them. However, I didnʼt expect that they had a relationship with that mysterious old man; even Xiong Qinglai addressed him as his master. Unfortunately, they didnʼt mention the identity of the leader, but that person clearly came from another realm, and they might wreak havoc in this realm soon.”

”What should we do regarding this matter, Senior Brother?” Yan Yinqing asked Lin Moxian, who immediately took out a device and contacted several people, asking them to leave for that realm right away.

Lin Moxian then contacted her aunt, Lin Jingxia, who was on her way to the Xianjin Realm. He asked her to speed up her journey, and he also asked her to contact Tian Shuixiang. ”Although we donʼt know the identity of that old man, I have a feeling that he is related to the demon who attacked the Shandian Realm in the past.”

”Are you sure about that, Little Moxian?” Tantai Lingyan asked with a frown because her husband died in that incident.

”For now, this matter is just my guess, but Iʼm quite confident in it because ordinary cultivators wouldnʼt dare attack this realm. If the Nameless One and the others return, they will definitely destroy those people.” Lin Moxian then asked Zhang Xiaolong [3]. ”You must have the same thoughts as me, right?”

Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded. ”I thought that it was impossible for those cultivators to dare to attack here, and I suspected that Xereth was behind that old man. We must not leave this inn for the next few days, and I will monitor the situation in this realm using my orb while we wait for your aunt and the others to arrive.”

Tantai Lingyan, Yan Yinqin, and Lin Moxian immediately agreed with Zhang Xiaolong [3].

When the three notifications appeared, Zhang Fei had just finished satisfying Murong Qianying, who was already fast asleep. He looked at Fei Qinyuan, who looked horny after watching them all day long.

”You are completely crazy!” Fei Qinyuan shouted angrily.

”Haha.” Zhang Fei moved in front of Fei Qinyuan, picked her up, and carried her to bed.

Fei Qinyuan struggled to break free, but her body weakened as soon as Zhang Fei used his enhanced demon touch on her. ”Mhm! Let go of me! I donʼt want to do something like that with my husbandʼs killer!”

”Hehe.” Zhang Fei chuckled and laid Fei Qinyuan beside Murong Qianying. ”Sooner or later, you will give yourself to me, and I will wait for that time to come.”

”Humph!” Fei Qinyuan snorted, closed his eyes, and suppressed his lust.

Zhang Fei just smiled and asked the female AI. ʼMei, did you succeed in scanning the old manʼs identity?ʼ

[I will display the old manʼs status for you, Master.]

ʼYeah, show it.ʼ

Zhang Fei was shocked after reading the status. ʼPhew! This is really troublesome! I had guessed that he was a demon, but I didnʼt expect a blood dragon demon with such a high cultivation.ʼ

[Are you thinking of fighting that demon, Master?]

ʼI havenʼt thought about that.ʼ Zhang Fei dismissed it immediately. ʼI am increasingly convinced that the old demon is Xerethʼs subordinate, and his companions must be as strong or even stronger than him. Perhaps the dark phoenix will also appear, so I will discuss this matter with the two phoenix ancestors first.ʼ
