Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 841: Heavenly Bliss Pavilion

*Clang*

Zhang Xiaolong [3] broke the prison padlock, walked in, and squatted in front of the three women. ”I have no interest in taking revenge on three helpless women, and I am here to free the three of you, but on one condition.”

”What is your one condition?” Helian Yueyi asked.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] lifted Helian Yueyiʼs chin with a faint smile. ”You must marry me.”

”I—”

”Shh.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] rubbed Helian Yueyiʼs lips. ”Your husband is dead, and I need your status in the Huangfu royal family to accomplish a task. I donʼt need your body, and I donʼt mind if you donʼt want to serve me as a wife. If you agree with me, I will take the three of you out of this prison, and you guys can live freely again without any pressure.”

”Zhang Fei, let us replace our mother.” Huangfu Xiaomei and Huangfu Xiaoying spoke simultaneously.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] did not answer the two women and asked Helian Yueyi again. ”Have you ever considered the possibility that Li Tiannan might forcefully violate the three of you someday? Or do you prefer something like that to happen to you guys? You had everything before, but your two daughters are still virgins, and theyʼll suffer if something like that happens to them.”

Huangfu Xiaomei and Huangfu Xiaoying shuddered as soon as Zhang Xiaolong [3] mentioned it. They certainly didnʼt want something like that to happen to them, especially since that person was their fatherʼs killer.

”What exactly do you need from my status as the Huangfu royal family? Why should I marry you?” Zhang Xiaolong [3] simply smiled at Helian Yueyi, especially since he needed her status to complete the quest from the system. ”Are you really not going to force me to serve you?”

Zhang Xiaolong [3] shook his head in response. ”If I wanted to force you to serve me, I could do it right here, right now, and you would never be able to refuse me.”

”Mother.”

Helian Yueyi looked at her two daughters before making a decision. ”All right, I agree to that, but you must keep your word not to force me to serve you. If you force me to serve you, I will commit suicide immediately.”

ʼSheʼs still threatening me like that, huh?ʼ Zhang Xiaolong [3] freed Helian Yueyi and his two daughters from the chains that bound them. ”I am a man of my word, and I will never force you.”

A while later, Zhang Xiaolong [3] had already brought the three women to the residence on the small island, which belonged to Linghu Yincheng. He then gave a red wedding dress to Helian Yueyi. ”This dress is the wedding dress of one of my wives, and I brought it because her body size is similar to yours. You can wear it now, and we will get married traditionally afterward.”

”All right.” Helian Yueyi immediately went to one of the rooms to change dresses, followed by Huangfu Xiaoying and Huangfu Xiaomei.

[Are you really not going to touch that woman, Master?]

ʼDonʼt you already know the answer, Mei?ʼ Zhang Xiaolong [3] responded to the question as he began to undress and put on his wedding gown. ʼI will use other means to get Helian Yueyi, and she will fall for me after she forgets Huangfu Shou.ʼ

After he wore his wedding dress, Zhang Xiaolong [3] set up a table as an altar for his wedding with Helian Yueyi. He placed several things on it, such as candles and several other objects, similar to his wedding with the three princesses.

Sometime later, Helian Yueyi came out of the room wearing the wedding dress. Even though she didnʼt wear any makeup, she was still quite pretty in her red wedding dress. After that, they immediately started their wedding ceremony, with Huangfu Xiaoying and Huangfu Xiaomei as their wedding witnesses.

[Reward: Hard gift pack x 1]

Both notifications immediately appeared inside Zhang Xiaolong [3]ʼs mind as soon as they finished their wedding ceremony. ʼAs expected! Helian Yueyi is still considered the Huangfu royal family by the system! Open the reward, Mei.ʼ

[Yes.]

[You obtained the Heavenly Bliss Pavilion.]

ʼOh? A pavilion, huh?ʼ

[Heavenly Bliss Pavilion is a sanctuary for dual cultivators; it is built upon the foundation of an ancient Moon Jade Vein. The walls, pillars, and floors of the manor are carved from Lustrous Moon Jade, a rare divine material that passively absorbs and refines both Yin and Yang qi. The manor is equipped with the Boundless Yin-Yang Array, a divine dual cultivation array, designed to achieve the perfect fusion of Yin and Yang Qi.]

Zhang Xiaolong [3] smiled in satisfaction after reading the description, and he immediately spoke to Helian Yueyi. ”Although I wonʼt force you to serve me, you are still my wife, so you should forget about your desire to have a relationship with another man.”

”You donʼt have to worry about that; I have no desire to have a relationship with any man.” Helian Yueyi then embraced Huangfu Xiaomei and Huangfu Xiaoying. ”My two daughters are the most important to me, and I want to live a quiet life with them.”

Zhang Xiaolong [3] unsealed their cultivation, and he didnʼt worry that they would escape from him, especially since he had long implanted his soul mark into their souls. He gave them three types of coins in huge amounts so they could buy everything they needed. ”This residence actually belongs to Linghu Yincheng, but you donʼt need to think about that. I have already informed her about the three of you here, and no one will disturb you, including Li Tiannan.”

”Thank you.”

After they changed into their normal clothes, Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately left the three women.

Helian Yueyi let out a soft sigh and spoke to her two daughters. ”We are free now, but we will not return to our kingdom, and we will live normal lives from now on.”

”What about our big brother, Mother?” Huangfu Xiaomei asked.

Helian Yueyi shook her head. ”I want to free Lianʼer from that manʼs control, but Li Tiannan came from the upper realms, and his cultivation is extremely high. If we act rashly, he will capture and imprison us again. For now, we just need to focus on our cultivation, and we will free your brother in the future.”

”Yes, Mother.”

Helian Yueyi then led them to one of the rooms. ”We have been locked up in prison for a long time, so we should rest now, and we will go to the Bai Clan to buy things this morning.”

Huangfu Xiaomei and Huangfu Xiaoying followed their mother, but their minds were occupied by Zhang Xiaolong [3], and they looked forward to seeing him again.

When he arrived at his residence, Zhang Xiaolong [3] found Murong Qianying and Shang Yaolin already among them, and Zhang Chen looked serious talking to the two.

Meanwhile, Qing Yi, Zhang Hanzhi, Qing Tan, and several women were still busy preparing dishes to entertain their guests. Tantai Lingyan and Yan Yinqing joined them, especially since both of them were curious about Earthʼs dishes.

”Who were the three women before, Junior Brother?” Lin Moxian posed this question as he and Qiao Liangren approached Zhang Xiaolong [3].

Zhang Xiaolong [3] was not surprised by Lin Moxianʼs question, especially since he had previously detected his senses. ”They were the former empress and two princesses of the Huangfu Kingdom, and they were once my enemies. I killed the emperor and took over the kingdom, but I left some of my slaves to take care of it.”

”How many slaves do you have? Doesnʼt that weigh on your soul?” Qiao Liangren asked.

”Senior Liangren, I didnʼt use my soul mark to enslave them. Instead, I used my demon ability for that, so my soul wasnʼt too burdened by them.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] then told the two men about the identities of the ten men and three women slaves. ”All of them have made serious mistakes, so I enslaved them. If their mistakes are not too serious, I will only lock them up in my prison, and I will release them after I no longer need them.”

Qiao Liangren released a soft sigh and grabbed Zhang Xiaolong [3]ʼs shoulder. ”If only I had a little of your courage, I would never be in this kind of situation.”

”What do you mean by that?” Zhang Xiaolong [3] asked in confusion.

”Liangrenʼs lover died at the hands of his enemy.” Lin Moxianʼs answer shocked Zhang Xiaolong [3]. ”He knew that person hated him and repeatedly sought trouble with him, but he didnʼt have the heart to do anything to him, especially since he was his brother. The incident happened when he went with our master to train, and that person killed his lover to make him suffer. Since then, he would rather not get close to any woman, and he was more focused on his cultivation.”

Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded in understanding. ”Is he still alive?”

”Yes.” Qiao Liangren nodded at him. ”After all, he is my big brother, and I donʼt have the guts to take revenge on him.”

”Do you want me to kill him?” Qiao Liangren was taken aback by Zhang Xiaolong [3]ʼs question. ”You donʼt know it yet, but I killed my brother and ex-lover myself.”

”Did you really do that?” Qiao Liangren asked in disbelief.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded at him. ”I donʼt care who they are; I will kill anyone who dares to betray me. They betrayed and framed me, and they tried to do terrible things to one of my women, so I killed them.”

”I see.” Qiao Liangren immediately made up his mind. ”Can you help me kill him? I want to kill him myself, but I canʼt do it. I will never be able to move on as long as he is still alive, and his death is the only relief for me.”

”Sure.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately agreed with that, especially since Qiao Liangren had helped him a lot when he started out on the soul cultivation path. ”One of my clones will go to the Qiao Clan now, and you will receive news of his death soon.”

”Thank you.”

”No need for thanks. You have helped me a lot, and we share the same master, so I will assist you.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] then gave Qiao Liangren the basic pills and Yang Purifying Pill. ”Senior Brother Moxian has already swallowed them, so now itʼs your turn.”

”All right, I will swallow them now.” Qiao Liangren immediately searched for an empty place to swallow the pills.

Then, Lin Moxian asked Zhang Xiaolong [3]. ”What are your plans regarding Tian Shuixiang? Was the woman who came to you earlier his woman?”

”Her name is Ye Zhiye, and she is indeed Tian Shuixiangʼs lover. She is also a demon, to be precise, the Eternal Night Demon Queen.” Lin Moxian frowned at that. ”Believe me or not, but that guy is the asura demon. Although that woman didnʼt admit it directly, I already know that they are demons from the Paradise Realm, and their cultivation has already reached the 5-Moon Divine Ascension Realm.”

”Are you going to reveal their identities to the public?”

”No.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] replied with a shake of his head. ”Senior Brother, I myself am a lust demon lord, and not all demons are evil. Moreover, you yourself said that Tian Shuixiang helped the people in your home realm a lot, so I wonʼt reveal their identities for now. However, I will directly reveal their identities if they have malicious intentions, and Zhe Wuming and the others can take care of them.”

Lin Moxian looked confused upon hearing the latter name. ”Zhe Wuming? Who is that?”

”Haha.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] laughed awkwardly as he let slip the name. ”Zhe Wuming is the Nameless Oneʼs true name, and I learned it when I met him before. By the way, you better not tell anyone else about his true name, or he will lock me up using his void element.”

”I canʼt say anything about you.” Lin Moxian sighed softly. ”Everyone, including our master, has known the Nameless One for a long time, but they donʼt know anything about his true name. Instead, youʼve only met him once, but you know it right away.”

Zhang Xiaolong [3] just smiled upon hearing that. ”The dishes are almost ready, so letʼs join them.”

Inside their room, Tian Shuixiang looked serious as he listened to Ye Zhiyeʼs explanation of her previous meeting with Zhang Xiaolong [3]. ”No wonder that kidʼs ability had such an effect on you; it turns out heʼs a lust demon lord. However, I donʼt understand where he got the information about our real identities, and he even knows so much detail down to my true physique, special physique, and bloodline.”

”I didnʼt know that myself, and I initially thought that he was bluffing on purpose. However, I changed my mind after he mentioned those three, and I immediately left him.” Ye Zhiye then asked him. ”What should we do about that kid? Should we kill him to cover everything up? If he leaks our identities to them, the Nameless One and the others will attack us directly, and we will have no choice but to return to the Paradise Realm if that happens.”

”You underestimate that kid too much, Zhiye.” Tian Shuixiang disagreed with Ye Zhiyeʼs idea. ”He came from the lower realms, and his cultivation was still in the ten mortal realms, but he was able to reach this realm so quickly. Moreover, I couldnʼt check on him because my senses were blocked by something inside his body, and he also had connections with people from the Paradise Realm. We donʼt know the identities of the people behind him, so we should face this matter with a cool head. Otherwise, the people in that realm will know of our existence here, and they will hunt us down here. Iʼm sure that kid wonʼt reveal our identities, and he purposely told you all that to prevent us from interfering in his business, so weʼll play along with him.”

”Are you sure about that?” Ye Zhiye doubtfully asked.

Tian Shuixiang nodded at her. ”By the way, I feel that kid is more dangerous than we think, so you shouldnʼt go see him again. After the affairs in this realm are finished, we will immediately return to the Void Heaven Realm.”

”What if we go to that realm?” Tian Shuixiang raised his eyebrows at Ye Zhiye. ”The Sovereign Heaven Realm! None of the cultivators in the upper realms know about that realm, so Iʼm sure that kid doesnʼt know about it either. We can hide and live more peacefully in that realm, and those people will never be able to find us.”

”Let me think about it first.”

”All right then.” Ye Zhiye immediately pounded at Tian Shuixiang. ”The effect of that kidʼs ability has disappeared from my body, but I still havenʼt had enough of having sex with you, so I want to do it again now.”

Tian Shuixiang smiled at that. ”As you wish, my dear.”

.

”Master, that kid has returned to this realm before, but he then took some people to another realm.” Xue Bao spoke to his master.

Zhe Wuming nodded at him. ”I already know about it, but itʼs none of our business, so we donʼt need to interfere. However, I didnʼt expect that he could open a secret space without the void element, and I thought it was his private training ground.”

”Can you infiltrate his secret space, Master?” Zhe Wuming turned to Xue Bao with a sharp glance. ”Hahaha! Iʼm just curious about that, so donʼt look at me like that.”

Zhe Wuming released a soft sigh. ”Baoʼer, donʼt be too curious about that kid, or we will face serious trouble if the people behind him make a move against us. Do you understand?”

”Yes, Master.”
