Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1449: Obtain A Building

”I understand your worries.” Long Huoyan grabbed Zhang Fei’s shoulder. ”I promise you that I will protect everyone you send to my kingdom, and I will ensure their safety.”

Zhang Fei didn’t answer Long Huoyan and thought things over carefully, but Feng Yao suddenly spoke to him. ’Send Feng Shanxi and a few others to that domain, and I’ll send Huo Xiaoyu there to protect them.’

’Alright.’ Since Feng Yao would send someone to protect his people, Zhang Fei had no qualms about sending them to that domain. ”What are the rules for purchasing buildings in your kingdom? Can an outsider like me also buy a building here? Naturally, I have to open my shop here, and I need a building that isn’t too big for that. Once everything is ready, I’ll send some of my people here, and they’ll change the alchemy market in this domain.”

Long Huoyan was relieved to hear Zhang Fei’s answer, and he called someone to get the building documents. ”Actually, buildings in this kingdom are not for sale, even to my own people. I will give you a building, and it will be completely yours, so you can do whatever you want with it.”

’He’s willing to do anything for the good of his race, eh?’ Zhang Fei didn’t refuse Long Huoyan’s offer. ”Alright, I’ll accept it, and I’ll take a look tomorrow morning. If I don’t need any renovations, I’ll open my shop in a few days. If I still need minor renovations, I’ll open my shop after everything is done.”

”Hahaha.” Long Huoyan laughed and created a qi screen, which showed the area inside the building that he would give to Zhang Fei. ”I remember all the buildings in my kingdom, and that image is the inside of the building I’m referring to, so you don’t need to go there to check it out.”

Zhang Fei looked at the qi screen before nodding. ”That building is in excellent condition and ready to be my shop, so I don’t need to do any renovations to fix it. I’ll contact my people now, and I’ll have them come here tomorrow morning. However, I still have one more request, but I don’t know whether you will agree to it or not.”

”Tell me.”

Zhang Fei created several qi screens and showed all areas of the Moonlit Passion Temple, except for the peak and back areas of the mountain. ”See them for yourself.”

Long Huoyan nodded and looked at all the qi screens seriously, but his expression changed after he saw demons from several demon races.

Long Huoyan remembered Zhang Fei’s words earlier in the dining hall that he didn’t mind the demon races as long as they didn’t harbor malicious intentions, so he assumed that the demons who joined the Moonlit Passion Temple had passed his selection. Moreover, their numbers weren’t that big in the sect, especially since each demon race only sent two of their representatives there.

Even though he saw them through qi screens, Long Huoyan could recognize the identities of the demons. He knew that they came from the Celestial Demon Race, the Soul-Devouring Demon Race, the Eternal Night Demon Race, and the Seven Emotions Demon Race.

Long Huoyan was shocked when he discovered several women from the Winged Race in the Moonlit Passion Temple, especially since that race hated all demon races much more than his demihuman race. However, he could see that all the women had no problem with the presence of the demons there, and their relationship seemed pretty good.

Long Huoyan saw many beast races there, starting with the phoenix race, the white tiger race, and various other races. Additionally, he also saw many members of the natural races there, starting with the dryad race, the elf race, the fairy race, and various other races. However, he didn’t see a single member of the demihuman race in the Moonlit Passion Temple, and he could guess Zhang Fei’s reason for showing him all those images.

Long Huoyan turned his head to Zhang Fei. ”Do you want me to send some representatives of my race to your sect?”

”Yes.” Zhang Fei answered matter-of-factly because he needed members from the demihuman race in the Moonlit Passion Temple to complete all the races. ”I want to make my sect an ideal place for all races to gather together, and you can see for yourself that my sect doesn’t yet have any members from the demihuman race. That’s why I want you to send at least two people from your race to my sect, but you must choose those who don’t harbor hatred toward any demon race. Honestly, I could bring demihuman race members from the Three Mortal Realms, but none of them interested me, so I didn’t bring them to this realm in the past.”

”I see.” Long Huoyan thought of a few people to send to the Moonlit Passion Temple, but he doubted that they would accept if he sent them there, especially with the presence of the demons there. ”Regarding this matter, I can’t give you an answer now, and I need to discuss it with several people first. Once we’ve reached a decision, I’ll contact you directly, and I’ll bring some people to your sect.”

Zhang Fei nodded in understanding and dispelled the qi screen. ”I’m not in a rush with that, so you can discuss it with your people first. However, I hope they will agree to this matter, and I want you to send some people who can get along with all races because I don’t want them to cause chaos there.”

After they discussed a few other matters and someone delivered documents from the building, Long Huoyan escorted Zhang Fei to the guest area, and he returned to his private quarters to discuss his proposal with his wife.

”How was your conversation with Long Huoyan?” Qi Qingxiu asked Zhang Fei.

Zhang Chen, Hu Yue, Hu Lili, and Jia Yuyan were also curious, prompting Zhang Fei to explain to them about his conversation with Long Huoyan just now, including his request for him to send some demihuman members to the Moonlit Passion Temple.

After that, Qi Qingxiu explained to Zhang Fei about her conversation with Huo Jinying, including her decision to reveal her true identity as the Seven Emotions Demon God to the empress.

Zhang Fei had no problem with it, mainly because he was confident that he could stand up to the demihuman race if they wanted to trouble him. Moreover, Qi Qingxiu’s abilities could influence those people, so he didn’t need to be afraid to face them.

Jia Yuyan also conveyed some things to Zhang Fei, especially about her wish for Long Xiaolan to join the Moonlit Passion Temple. However, Zhang Fei asked her not to rush, especially since he had to wait for Long Huoyan and Huo Jinying’s decision.

After they finished their discussion, Zhang Fei wrapped five of his nine fox tails around their waists and released his own soul, followed by the five women who also released theirs. ”Let’s dual soul cultivate.”

”Mother.” Long Xiaolian called out softly as she walked into a quite beautiful cave, with a woman sitting cross-legged in the middle.

Just like Long Xiaolian, the woman’s head didn’t look like a beast, and she looked like a human woman in general. Her body was covered in colorful bird feathers, and a bird’s tail was on her hip.

The woman’s name was Si Yingwu, and she was the second wife of Long Huoyan. She opened her eyes and smiled at Long Xiaolan. ”Come here and sit with me, Xiaolian.”

”Yeah.” Leng Xiaolian sat beside her mother and created several qi screens, which showed Zhang Fei and his five wives. She explained their identities to her mother, which surprised Si Yingwu.

Then, Leng Xiaolian changed the pictures on the qi screen according to the memories Jia Yuyan shared with her before, and the existence of several demons in the Moonlit Passion Temple once again shocked Si Yingwu.

Leng Xiaolian explained to her mother their conversation with Zhang Fei in the dining room, and she also shared details about her earlier conversation with the four women. ”What do you think about them and their sect, Mother?”

”They’re really rare.” Si Yingwu looked at the picture of Zhang Fei and his five women on the qi screen. ”I can’t recognize what kind of fox the man and his two wives are, but I feel that he is no ordinary fox. Somehow, I feel there is something else about him, but I can’t confirm it. Zhang Chen belongs to the light dragon race, which is quite rare in this realm. As for Qi Qingxiu, her appearance is just a disguise, but I have never seen such a perfect disguise before, and I can’t guess her true identity. Are you thinking of joining their sect, Xiaolan?”

”Hehe.” Long Xiaolian giggled and hugged her mother. ”You know me well, Mother. I’m bored of staying in this domain, and I want to explore other domains to broaden my horizon. However, my father would never allow that, mainly because he’s afraid that outsiders will hunt me down and capture me. That’s why I’m thinking of joining that sect, and I might find many new adventures by joining there.”

Si Yingwu looked at her daughter and let out a soft sigh. ”I’ll talk to your father tomorrow morning and persuade him to let you join the sect. I don’t know if he’ll agree, but you’ll have to take excellent care of yourself if he does.”
