Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 962: Reunion

ʼShe really knows that kid, huh?ʼ The old man and his three disciples quietly expressed their thoughts to each other. ”Young Miss Luo, Zhang Fei and some of his friends are currently facing the final challenge on the second floor, but they will finish soon.”

”Be patient, Yunxiao.” Luo Fenghan patted his daughterʼs shoulder. ”Let us see them, Old Wan Jiang.”

Wan Jiang nodded and led Luo Fenghan and his family to his private quarters in the tower, followed by Hua Meiʼer and the other two.

When they arrived there, Wan Jiang displayed the Qi screen, which showed the progress of Zhang Fei and the others.

”Who are the women on Zhang Feiʼs side?”

”Most of them are his wives, Mother.” Huang Xiaoyi turned to Luo Yunxiao, who was looking at Zhang Fei with a longing gaze. ”Sister Feng Yao told me their names are Xian Xianqin, Xian Changyue, Yun Xinyue, and Bai Tianʼer. He still has many other women, but I donʼt understand why he doesnʼt bring them with him.”

Huang Xiaoyi sighed in her heart; she still found it difficult to believe that Zhang Fei had so many women by his side. Even though her daughter already knew this fact, she still insisted on meeting him, and her feelings for him did not change at all.

Luo Fenghan, aware of his wifeʼs feelings, immediately rubbed her back. ʼI myself donʼt want our daughter to share a husband with multiple women, but she has made her choice, and she will never change her mind again.ʼ

ʼI know.ʼ Huang Xiaoyi replied with a soft sigh.

”Young Miss Luo, Zhang Fei actually brought all his women and closest people to this tower. However, they have never challenged this tower before, so they have to start from the first floor.” Wan Jiang then displayed the activities of the people who were undergoing all the challenges on the first floor.

”Hmm?” Luo Fenghan and Huang Xiaoyi were surprised once they recognized the identities of several women on the first floor. ”How can there be so many female mythical beasts by his side? They come from the vermilion, phoenix, dark phoenix, golden fox, nian, and azure emperor roc races. Moreover, there are still several female demon beasts among them, and three of them are not ordinary ones but ancient ones.”

”Ancient demon beasts?” Wan Jiang and his three disciples were shocked when they heard that.

Luo Fenghan pointed to Ru Xue, Zhang Lin, and Zhang Lingxue. ”The white-haired woman has the celestial demon bloodline, but she is also a light dragon. The young woman with fin ears has the abyssal leviathan demon beast bloodline, but she also has the water dragon bloodline. As for the woman with dark red hair, she is a mixed breed of the phoenix and the devourer demon beast.”

”Didnʼt the leviathan dragon and the devouring demon beast become extinct a long time ago, husband? How could those two women possibly have their bloodlines?” Huang Xiaoyi asked in confusion.

Luo Fenghan shook his head. ”I myself am confused as to how they can have both bloodlines, but the most confusing thing is the bloodline of the three mythical beasts in their bodies. We both know that those mythical beasts hate those demon beasts, so thereʼs no way they would produce mixed offspring.”

”One of them is Zhang Lin.” Luo Fenghan and Huang Xiaoyi turned to Luo Yunxiao in shock because they recognized her as someone who was born human. ”I donʼt know how she managed to transform into a mixture of the abyssal leviathan demon beast and the water dragon, but her transformation is definitely not an ordinary thing.”

”Did Feng Yao tell you anything about it?”

”No.” Luo Yunxiao shook her head at her mother. ”We donʼt need to think about that, and weʼll get the answer after we meet Zhang Fei. By the way, the other two women are Ru Xue and Zhang Lingxue, and Ru Xue became his first woman because of an accident.”

”What did you mean by an accident?”

Luo Yunxiao nodded. ”Ru Xue was with Zhang Fei when he awakened his lust demon bloodline for the first time, and he unknowingly used his abilities on her, which made them involved in such a relationship.”

”I see.” Luo Fengyan nodded in understanding. ”Not only Zhang Fei, but all these people have surpassed cultivators at their level, especially their speed.”

”1-Moon Divine Transcend Realm, huh?” Huang Xiaoyi muttered as she nodded. ”Zhang Feiʼs progress is truly terrifying; not even dual cultivators in our domain can match him. When she visited us, Feng Yao said his cultivation had only broken through the Heaven Realm, and two years had passed in the three mortal realms, but he had already reached this stage.”

”Haha.” Luo Fengyan laughed at that. ”The dual cultivators in our domain donʼt have as many women as Zhang Fei, right? Moreover, Feng Yao told us that he is an alchemist, and he has many pills that donʼt even exist in our realm, so itʼs natural that they canʼt match his cultivation speed.”

”Theyʼre done.” Luo Yunxiaoʼs expression turned impatient. ”Senior Wan, please take me to see them.”

Wan Jiang turned to Luo Fenghan, who nodded at him. He immediately took the three of them to the second floor of the tower, followed by Helian Xunʼer, who was curious about Zhang Fei and Luo Yunxiaoʼs relationship.

ʼPhew! I can finally clear the second floor.ʼ Zhang Fei sighed in relief, only to find himself and the others abruptly ejected from the challenge location.

Zhang Fei froze in place as soon as they appeared on the second floor, and his gaze was only focused on the three people who were so familiar to him, even though he had not seen them for twelve years.

”Hmm?” Although they had never met Luo Yunxiao before, Xian Xianqin, Xian Changyue, Yun Xinyue, and Bai Tianʼer could immediately guess her identity from Zhang Feiʼs reaction. However, they were jealous of her beauty, especially since she truly was beautiful like a goddess, even though she had not swallowed the two beauty pills.

ʼWho is that woman? Why is Brother Fei reacting like this after seeing her?ʼ Yuan Luo whispered her question to the four women.

On the other hand, Xin Xianzi, Ximen Chuixue, and the others were more curious about Luo Yunxiaoʼs cultivation, especially since they could feel that he was truly powerful and far surpassed them.

ʼShe is Zhang Feiʼs childhood lover, Luo Yunxiao.ʼ

ʼOh?ʼ Yuan Luo stared at Luo Yunxiao with repeated blinks. ʼThis guy is always lucky with women! He even had a goddess as his childhood lover.ʼ

”Yunxiao.” Zhang Fei called out softly while stupidly staring at her.

”Fei.” Luo Yunxiao moved in front of Zhang Fei, hugged him tightly, and unconsciously cried. ”I... I have waited hundreds of years for this day, and we finally met again.”

Seeing Luo Yunxiao like that, Xian Xianqin and the others immediately moved away from them, giving them time to vent their longing. Moreover, most of them already knew about the difference in time flow between the three mortal realms and the Paradise Realm, so they knew that she had waited too long to be able to meet Zhang Fei again.

Zhang Fei wrapped his arms around Luo Yunxiaoʼs head and waist, and he hugged her without being able to say anything because he was still shocked by her sudden appearance. He felt the warmth of her body and enjoyed her soft scent, making him realize that the woman in his arms was real. ”Yunxiao, I missed you.”

”Mhmm.” Luo Yunxiao tightened her embrace on Zhang Fei as if afraid that he would disappear. ”I missed you too, Fei. Iʼm sorry I left without saying goodbye, and Iʼm sorry I asked my father to seal your memories of me.”

Zhang Fei inwardly sighed. ”Although I am disappointed by all that, I am no longer a weak child; I have understood many things since becoming a cultivator, and I know you had your reasons for your actions back then. I wanted to meet you again, and I thought it would take me a long time to do that, but you suddenly appeared here today, which surprised me.”

”Hehe.” Luo Yunxiao giggled. ”Hua Meiʼer contacted her sister, who happened to be my sect sister. She told me that you were in this tower, and I immediately asked my parents to bring me here to meet you.”

”Iʼm glad to see you again.” Zhang Fei then looked at Luo Fenghan and Huang Xiaoyi, who were walking towards them. ”Long time no see, Uncle Luo and Aunt Huang.”

”Long time no see, Zhang Fei.” Huang Xiaoyi nodded in response.

Luo Fenghan immediately spoke to Zhang Fei. ”Please forgive me; I was forced to do that to you because I thought you would never be able to become a cultivator, especially since there is no Qi on Earth. You will suffer if you keep remembering my daughter, so I had to do that to you back then.”

”You donʼt have to apologize to me, Uncle Luo.” Zhang Fei shook his head at Luo Fenghan. ”I thoroughly understand why you did that to me, and I never blamed you for it. To be honest, I myself never imagined that I would become a cultivator in my entire life, but that accident that day drastically changed my life, and here I am looking for a way to go to the Heaven Realm.”

Luo Fenghan was slightly relieved to hear that. ”Iʼve heard a lot about you from Feng Yao and her parents, and Iʼm truly satisfied with your progress. Three years may be slow for ordinary people, but itʼs very fast for us cultivators. Iʼve never met a cultivator who could reach the Seven Divine Realms in three years except for my daughter.”

”Oh?” Zhang Fei was surprised and looked at Luo Yunxiao, who smiled to herself. ”How long did it take you to reach the Seven Divine Realms in the past?”

”A year.” Luo Yunxiaoʼs answer almost caused Zhang Fei and the others to fall to the floor, especially since reaching the Seven Divine Realms in a year was impossible.

Zhang Fei released a heavy sigh. ”I thought that I was a genius, but you are much more of a genius than me, Yunxiao.”

”You are mistaken about that, Fei.” Luo Yunxiao withdrew her arms from Zhang Feiʼs body and cupped his face. ”Unlike you, I cultivate using the Celestial Qi, which is much better than the normal or Divine Qi. Moreover, you donʼt have strong backers like me, and I also enjoy the many high-quality cultivation resources there. If we both cultivate and use the same resources, I believe you will far surpass me.”

”There are no ifs in life, right?” Zhang Fei then caressed Luo Yunxiaoʼs cheeks. ”I am indeed far behind you now, but I will never give up. I will work harder to pursue my cultivation, and I will definitely surpass you one day.”

Luo Yunxiao nodded with a smile. ”You have been smart and diligent since you were little, and I believe you will be able to surpass me one day.”

”If you want to surpass my daughter, you canʼt continue to stay in the three mortal realms.” Zhang Fei looked at Huang Xiaoyi directly. ”Your cultivation speed is indeed outstanding, but Yunxiao will continue to be far ahead of you. Therefore, you should go to our realm as soon as possible, especially since it is the true cultivation world, where many peak cultivators gather.”

Zhang Fei nodded at her. ”I myself had planned to go to the Paradise Realm as soon as possible, Aunt Huang. However, I still have to pass the trials of this tower before I can go there, so I have to make Yunxiao wait for me a little longer.”

”Then—”

”No.” Zhang Fei immediately rejected Huang Xiaoyi. ”Aunt Huang, I get your wishes, but there are so many people on my side, and we arenʼt ready to enter that realm. If we go there now, we can only hide like rabbits, and I donʼt want that to happen.”

”Zhang Fei is right, wife.” Luo Fengyan put his arm around Huang Xiaoyiʼs shoulder. ”The best teacher for us cultivators is experience, so I want him to reach our realm with his ability even if our daughter has to wait for him a little longer.”

”But—”

”Itʼs okay, Mother.” Luo Yunxiao interrupted and turned to Huang Xiaoyi. ”Iʼve waited for hundreds of years to meet Zhang Fei again, so I donʼt mind waiting for him a little longer. With his current cultivation speed, Iʼm sure I wonʼt have to wait too long. Heʼs strong enough now, and he will become even stronger when he reaches our realm in the future, but he can only do that by facing many real challenges.”

Huang Xiaoyi could only sigh as they were all too stubborn. ”If you think so, I wonʼt force Zhang Fei to go with us.”

”Yes.” Luo Yunxiao then turned to Zhang Fei. ”You wonʼt keep me waiting too long, right?”

Zhang Fei nodded at her. ”For now, I donʼt have much business in the three mortal realms, so I can fully focus on my cultivation. Moreover, I have some secrets that have helped me all this time, and I also have all my women by my side, so I wonʼt keep you waiting too long.”

”Speaking of your women, how many are there now?” Luo Yunxiao curiously asked, especially since two years had passed in the three mortal realms since she last met Feng Yao, making her think that their numbers had increased again.

”Haha.” Zhang Fei laughed while scratching his head, but then he asked Wan Jiang a question. ”Can you send us to another place, Old Man?”

Wan Jiang nodded at him. ”I will move all of them to a place, and you guys can chat comfortably there.”

After Zhang Fei told him the identities of all his women and main family, Wan Jiang moved all of them to a special place inside the tower, and he himself returned to his private quarters.

Everyone appeared confused by the sudden change in location, but a few gasped upon seeing Luo Fenghan, Huang Xiaoyi, and Luo Yunxiao.

”Uncle Luo? Aunt Huang? Luo Yunxiao? Are these really you guys? Are my eyes not lying to me?” Zhang Lin called them one by one.

”Hehe.” Luo Yunxiao giggled. ”Long time no see, Zhang Lin.”

Luo Fenghan and Huang Xiaoyi nodded to Zhang Lin, who immediately ran over before jumping to hug Luo Yunxiao. ”Wow! I missed you! At that time, you all left without revealing the truth, and I believed you were simply relocating to another country, but it turns out you actually moved to a realm beyond our reach!”

”Please forgive me for not telling you the truth.” Luo Yunxiao said apologetically as she hugged Zhang Lin, but then she looked at the other three women. ”Grandma Chen! Aunt Qing! Zhang Yue! I missed you all.”

Zhang Lin released Luo Yunxiao from her embrace as soon as the three women arrived by their side, and the three of them took turns hugging her.

Zhang Chen rubbed Luo Yunxiaoʼs cheeks. ”The last time I saw you, you were only ten years old, but you have become such a beautiful, mature woman, and you are older than me now.”

”Hahaha.” Luo Yunxiao laughed in embarrassment. ”Age is just a number for us cultivators, and you will always be my grandma, Grandma Chen.”

Zhang Chen smiled upon hearing that and looked at Luo Yunxiaoʼs parents, who looked awkward toward her. ”Why are you two acting like this now? Iʼm different from the old me, so I understand why you just left without telling us the truth back then.”

”Phew.” Luo Fengyan exhaled softly. ”Aunt Chen, we left because my enemies discovered our location, and the Earth would be in danger if they went there. Therefore, I decided to bring them back to our realm, and they ambushed us once we arrived there. Fortunately, many of my acquaintances came to help, or else we wouldnʼt be able to meet again now.”

”Who are your enemies, Uncle Luo?”
