”Since you sent them here, I will hand over the protection of my people to them.” Feng Yao looked at Long Xiaolan again, sent a voice message to Zhang Fei, and turned into a crimson flame before entering his body. ’Mei, show her status again.’

’Hmm? What does Feng Yao mean about this woman?’ Zhang Fei inwardly wondered.

Long Xiaolian raised an eyebrow when she noticed Zhang Fei’s gaze on her, and she looked down at her body, not understanding why he was looking at her like that. ’Why is he looking at me like that? Is he interested in me? He’s handsome, but he’s a man with many wives, so I’ll never be attracted to him.’

Zhang Fei shook his head and turned to Feng Shanxi. ”As I explained to you last night, I got this shop because I promised their Emperor to teach the alchemists of this kingdom. I asked you to this domain because you were the only mythical beast on my side who mastered alchemy, and I wanted you to teach them more about that field. However, you don’t need to teach them if they underestimate you, let alone doubt your abilities.”

”Yes.” Feng Shanxi nodded and asked him. ”Are you going to sell all your pills in this shop?”

Zhang Fei thought for some time before making a decision, and he handed a storage ring to Feng Shanxi. ”For now, I will only sell my basic pills in this shop, and you can sell all the pills you have concocted since you ascended to the alchemist god. You don’t need to give me the proceeds from this shop, and you can keep them all for yourself.”

”Eh?” Feng Shanxi was surprised to hear that, but Zhang Fei immediately sent her a voice transmission and explained some things to her. ”I understand.”

Zhang Fei spoke to her again. ”I’ve inspected this building, and it’s ready for us to open our shop. You can start arranging all the pills, and we’ll open this shop today.”

”Alright.” Feng Shanxi turned to Ren Xiyi and the others, distributing many kinds of pills to them. However, she did not hand over Zhang Fei’s basic pills to them, and she would sell them on a limited basis. ”Let’s start now.”

Zhang Fei looked at Huo Xiaoyu and Huo Fengyin. ”I’ll take my five wives away now, and I’ll leave the protection of this shop to the two of you.”

”Leave it to us.”

After Zhang Fei took the six women away, Huo Fengyin asked Huo Xiaoyu. ”Xiaoyu, I still don’t understand how he managed to repair my vocal cords and make me speak again.”

”Hehe.” Huo Xiaoyu chuckled, put her arm around Huo Fengyin’s shoulders, and led her outside. ”Do you think our empress’s husband is an ordinary man? Honestly, I don’t know much about him or his abilities, but our empress has high confidence in him. Since she trusts him, we both should trust him too. Moreover, he has restored your vocal cords so you can speak normally, so we have to carry out our duties well, and we have to protect the people in this shop from those bad people.”

Huo Fengyin became serious and turned into the shop. ”Whoever dares disturb them, I will kill them all, no matter the identity of those people.”

”I agree with you.” Huo Xiaoyu nodded in response. ”We should leave and watch them from afar; otherwise, those demihumans won’t dare come to this shop.”

”Let’s go.”

Long Huoyan and Huo Jinying, who were in a meeting with the demihuman dignitaries of their kingdom, looked at a man with a half-wolf, half-human appearance who had walked in hurriedly.

”What happened, Hong Shi? Why are you in such a hurry?” Long Huoyan asked the man.

Hong Shi saluted Long Huoyan and Huo Jinying, reporting the appearance of two human women in the building that would become Zhang Fei’s shop. His report shocked the two leaders and everyone present in the room, especially after he told them that the two women were wearing dresses from the Blazing Nirvana Domain, meaning they were subordinates of Empress Huo Yanling.

”Are you sure about what you saw?”

”Yes.” Hong Shi nodded. ”Empress, I’ve met several women from the Blazing Nirvana Domain in the past, so I can’t possibly mistake the symbols on the backs of their dresses. They are indeed subordinates of Empress Huo Yanling, and they seem to have a close relationship with Zhang Fei.”

After Hong Shi made that statement, the atmosphere in the room grew noisy as everyone present started to question Zhang Fei’s true identity and his relationship with Empress Huo Yanling.

Huo Jinying looked at her husband, who asked her to contact Long Xiaolan and ask about the truth. Long Huoyan then asked the man again. ”What are those two women doing in that building?”

”According to witnesses who observed the incident at the building earlier, Zhang Fei cured one of the women of her muteness.” Long Huoyan and Huo Jinying were utterly shocked to hear that. ”The woman’s friend told him that an evil cultivator had made her mute by destroying her vocal cords, but he managed to restore her vocal cords, allowing her to speak again. I don’t know how he did it, but witnesses said that he simply held her hand, and she suddenly regained her voice.”

”Husband.” Long Huoyan turned to Huo Jinying, who immediately informed him of Long Xiaolan’s information. ”The names of those two women are Huo Xiaoyu and Huo Fengyin, and they are indeed members of the Blazing Nirvana Domain. Moreover, Empress Huo Yanling also appeared in that building after everyone left, and she emerged from Zhang Fei’s body.”

”What?” Long Huoyan and everyone present were shocked to hear that. ”Did Empress Huo Yanling really come out of Zhang Fei’s body?”

”Xiaolan couldn’t possibly lie to us, husband.” Long Huoyan knew that his second daughter was not a liar, but he could hardly believe it. ”After Empress Huo Yanling finished speaking to her two subordinates, she disappeared into Zhang Fei’s body again. Moreover, Xiaolan said that she felt a strong pressure on her bloodline when she appeared, and she guessed that she was a pure beast with the same bloodline as mine.”

”Phoenix or golden crow?”

”Phoenix.” Huo Jinying paused for a moment before continuing. ”However, I’m confused by that because Xiaolan said that Empress Huo Yanling’s appearance and departure were marked by a crimson flame, but no phoenix possesses a crimson flame. I forgot to tell you that Zhang Fei has several other beast bloodlines in his body, and two of them are the phoenix and golden crow bloodlines. I have both bloodlines in my body, so I can sense them clearly.”

”Yes.” Long Huoyan nodded at her. ”In fact, I also sensed the fire dragon bloodline in Zhang Fei’s body when I spoke to him last night, and I also sensed other bloodlines from him, but I can’t confirm them all. If you’re right that he has the phoenix bloodline in his body, he most likely got it from Empress Huo Yanling.”

Huo Jinying told him something else. ”Xiaolan also told me that Zhang Fei invited a female alchemist to take care of his shop, and she is a pure fire phoenix.”

”Hmm?” Long Huoyan instantly fell into contemplation. ”If you are correct that Empress Huo Yanling is a phoenix, that woman is most likely one of her relatives.”

”For now, all of this is still just our guesses, but I think we should secure a favorable relationship with Zhang Fei, which will be very beneficial for our demihuman race.” Long Huoyan agreed with Huo Jinying. ”After this, you should go meet Sister Yingwu, and we will send Xiaolan to the Moonlit Passion Sect as our ambassador.”

Long Huoyan did not immediately give Huo Jinying an answer, and he thought about the pros and cons first. He was reluctant to send his second daughter to the sect, but he needed someone to establish a better relationship with Zhang Fei.

Long Huoyan thought about sending Long Lingxun, but he couldn’t possibly do it because there were several demons in the Moonlit Passion Temple, and his presence in the sect would actually bring trouble among them.

Long Huoyan considered sending his second daughter and son-in-law there, but they had a young child, so he couldn’t send them because their child would be disturbed.

Si Yingwu suddenly walked into the room, and the high-ranking officials of the demihuman race hurriedly stood up from their seats. They bowed their heads, paying their respects to her.

Si Yingwu said nothing to them and immediately approached Long Huoyan and Huo Jinying. ”Husband, I want you to send Xiaolan to the Moonlit Passion Temple.”

”Why do you want to send our daughter to that sect, Wife?” Long Huoyan asked with a frown.

Si Yingwu let out a soft sigh. ”I understand your concern for our daughter’s safety, but I’m sure Xiaolan will be fine in that sect. Moreover, she doesn’t harbor hatred for demons like her big brother or the rest of our race, so I feel that she is a suitable person to be our representative, and I want her to gain new experiences there.”
