Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

"Are you serious about that?" An old man asked Song Qingci.

Song Qingci nodded her head. "Grandfather, Zhang Fei's true cultivation was indeed at the 1-Moon Divine Transcend Realm, but it suddenly shot up and became on par with cultivators at the Divine Ascension Realm. Moreover, his killing intent was not natural, and he should have killed countless people to achieve it."

"I think you should check on that brat, Zifeng." An old woman spoke to the old man as she was sure that Song Qingci was not lying to them based on the fear in her expression.

"You're right, Yu Shi." Song Zifeng nodded slightly. "Do you know where that kid went?"

"Since he wants to open his shop, I'm sure he should be checking out the other three big cities right now, Grandpa." Song Qingci suddenly remembered something. "Grandpa, I'm worried that he might join the Zhang Clan, especially since he has the same surname as them. If that happens, they'll be a threat to our Song Clan, and—"

"You are exaggerating your concerns." Yu Shi dismissed her granddaughter's guess immediately. "That kid already said that he came from the Xianjin Realm, and he came to our realm just to open his shop. Therefore, I believe he won't interfere in the matters in our realm, let alone join the Zhang Clan here."

"But, Grandma, he—"

"Don't argue with your grandmother, Qingci." Song Zifeng immediately stood up. "I'll monitor that kid for now, and I'll meet him if he returns to our city."

After her grandfather left, Song Qingci tried to persuade her grandmother to do something about Zhang Fei [4]. However, Yu Shi was much more experienced than her, so she realized that looking for trouble with him would only bring disaster to their clan. "Leave and don't bother with this matter."

"Tch!" Song Qingci gritted her teeth in annoyance and left her grandmother straightaway.

Yu Shi let out a heavy sigh as she shook her head. "Even though Qingci is already quite old, her character has remained unchanged. If she continues to behave like that, she will die sooner than I will. The Xianjin Realm is the strongest planet in the upper realms, and it is a gathering place for powerful cultivators. Moreover, that kid's talent in alchemy is incredible, so I believe he has many backers there. If one of his backers attacks us, we will definitely die ridiculously."

Zhang Fei [4] had already arrived at another city and was looking at the shops in that area, but he shook his head slightly when he felt someone's senses lock onto him. '5-Moon Divine Ascendant Realm! I'm sure that old man is a member of the Song Clan, and he's probably Song Qingci's grandfather.'

[Are you going to do something to that woman, Master?'

'Hey! Do you think I'm a madman? I don't like Song Qingci's behavior, but there's still no serious problem between us, so I won't do anything to her for now.' Zhang Fei [4] glanced into the distance. 'For now, I want to see what that old man wants from me, but he'd better not look for trouble with me; otherwise, I will make them regret it.'

Although the city was no less big than Song Qingci's city, it did not have as many people as her city, and the trade in the city was not as bustling as there, so Zhang Fei [4] decided to leave the city and go to two other big cities.

The third city was slightly larger than Song Qingci's city, had a larger population, and its trade was equally busy. Zhang Fei [4] found out that the Zhang Clan was ruling the city, but he heard many horrible things about that clan. He didn't feel afraid of that clan, but he also didn't want to have anything to do with them, so he abandoned his intention to open his shop there.

Zhang Fei [4] went straight to the fourth city, where Long Zhenxia and her family lived. He didn't intend to meet the female fire dragon, but she just appeared in front of him on her own, especially after she sensed his presence in that realm.

Long Zhenxia felt nervous about seeing Zhang Fei [4] again after they had parted ways a year and a half ago, but his indifferent attitude disappointed her. "Long time no see."

"Yeah, long time no see." Zhang Fei [4] casually replied. "I didn't expect you to move to this realm."

Long Zhenxia nodded at him. "My father was worried that Long Aotian would do something to us, so he took us away from the Sky Dragon Realm and settled in this realm. I didn't expect your cultivation to have progressed so rapidly, and you have already broken through to the Seven Divine Realms now."

"I am fortunate to have many women who have always helped me in my cultivation, and I could not have reached this stage without them." Zhang Fei [4] replied as he looked around them, looking for something.

"Oh." Long Zhenxia then asked him. "What brought you to this realm?"

"Actually, I came to the realm because I was following an evil cultivator, but I saw that this realm was quite promising, so I wanted to open an alchemy shop here." Long Zhenxia was not surprised to hear that because Zhang Fei [4] had two shops in the Sky Dragon Realm. "How about your alchemy?"

"I have been improving myself since our last match, and I am already an Ancestor Rank alchemist now." Long Zhenxian then asked him again. "How about you?"

"I am a Venerable Rank alchemist now." Zhang Fei [4]'s answer shocked Long Zhenxia, ​​especially since he was still a King Rank alchemist a year and a half ago. He then looked at a building with the 'Long' signboard in front of it. "Did you open an alchemy shop in this city?"

"Do you want to see it?" After Zhang Fei [4] nodded, Long Zhenxia immediately led him to go to her alchemy shop.

Upon arriving inside the shop, Zhang Fei [4] immediately looked at all the alchemy items inside Long Zhenxia's shop, and he found several types of superior-grade pills in one of the display cases, but their number and types were too few. Even so, the shop was filled with customers, and they seemed enthusiastic to buy pills and other items.

"How about you help me sell my pills in your shop?" Long Zhenxia was surprised by Zhang Fei [4]'s request. "Usually, I would open my own shop, but I don't have the time to take care of so many shops spread across so many realms. Moreover, we are old acquaintances, and you gave me your bloodline. Therefore, I want to help you and your family, and I will give you 50% of the proceeds from the sale."

"Are you sure you want to give me 50% of the sales?" Long Zhenxia asked in surprise.

Zhang Fei [4] nodded at her. "Although 50% of the sales is a large amount, your flame dragon bloodline has helped me a lot. If you agree, I will give you my stock of pills, and you can start selling them today."

"Alright, I will help you sell your pills." Leng Zhenxia then brought Zhang Fei [4] to the back room, where he handed her quite a number of pills. The grade of all the pills shocked and excited her, and she was sure that her shop would become even more popular if she sold them. "Even though my skills have improved a lot, I'm still far behind you."

"Even though you began your journey in alchemy before I did, I can confidently say that I trained much harder than you." Zhang Fei [4] then took out some alchemy ingredients and gave them to her. "You can order your servants to arrange these pills and ingredients in the display case, and your shop will definitely be even more crowded with customers. However, I forbid you from selling them to Song Qingci and the Song Clan, so you must refuse them if they come here."

"Do you have any problems with them?" Zhang Fei [4] explained to Long Zhenxia about his meeting with Song Qingci earlier, but she was not surprised to hear that because the female major's character was no longer a secret. "I will arrange them in the display case now, and I will tell my staff not to allow them to set foot in my shop."

"That's excellent." Zhang Fei [4] immediately followed Long Zhenxia back to the front. "I will return to the city now, and you can contact me if you are short of stock."

Long Zhenxia wanted to ask Zhang Fei [4] to stay for some time, especially since she still wanted to talk to him. However, she swallowed her words and nodded at him.

"I will contact you directly if I need additional stock." Long Zhenxia released a heavy sigh after Zhang Fei [4] left, and she rubbed her lips, recalling their kiss back at the Phoenix Clan in the Sky Dragon Realm. 'Does he just think of me as an acquaintance?'

Long Zhenxia shook her head slightly and handed the pills and alchemy ingredients to her staff, who immediately arranged them in several display cases, making the buyers present at the place very enthusiastic.

Zhang Fei [4] had already arrived at Song Qingci's city and was rushing to find the best inn, but Song Zifeng immediately appeared in front of him, surprising the people at the inn. "Can I have a word with you, kid?"

"Unfortunately, I don't have time for you, old man." The inn visitors gasped in shock as soon as Zhang Fei [4] said that, and they immediately looked at Song Zifeng, waiting for his reaction. "If you want to persuade me to open my shop in this city, you can forget about it because I no longer have the interest to do so. Moreover, I just met an old acquaintance, and she is already willing to sell my pills in her alchemy shop, so I will not open another shop in this realm."

"I see." Song Zifeng nodded in understanding. "It's truly unfortunate if you have decided like that, but I respect your decision. In that case, I won't waste your time anymore, and you can freely enjoy your time in this city."

The inn visitors were shocked to hear that, but Song Zifeng ignored them and left the inn. They then looked at Zhang Fei [4], wondering in their hearts about his true identity.

Zhang Fei [4] ignored them and chose the best room directly. He then rushed to his room and cultivated there, and he ordered Mei to keep an eye on You Shanyi's movements.

After he had practiced for quite some time and successfully mastered the first stage of the Heaven-Severing Sword Technique, Zhang Fei immediately returned to his bedroom because Jia Yuyan had already woken up from her sleep.

Given their imminent separation, Zhang Fei spared no time and resumed his dual cultivation with Jia Yuyan. Their souls began to dual-soul cultivate above them, and they did so non-stop for quite a long time.

A week passed quickly, and Feng Xishui, who had flown for a very long time, immediately entered a realm while carrying Zhang Fei [5] and Wei Xiaoya on his back.

===

[Ding.]

[The system has already recorded the Falling Star Realm, and the host can access it through the gate in the future.]

[Starts mapping the entire area of ​​the Falling Star Realm.]

"Have you ever met my master's senior sister, wife?"

"Senior Tang Ying has never liked crowds, and she prefers to live in solitude." Wei Xiaoya pointed in a direction. "She should be living at the foot of that mountain, so we can go there directly to meet her."

"Senior Xishui, let's go to that mountain." Feng Xishui immediately brought Zhang Fei [5] and Wei Xiaoya in that direction.

In a few minutes, they arrived at the mountain that Wei Xiaoya had mentioned, and Zhang Fei [5] immediately helped her float down, allowing Feng Xishui to revert to his human form.

Wei Xiaoya then led them to a small house surrounded by lush trees, with a small fish pond on the side. However, a barrier prevented them from getting too close, so she tried to talk from a distance. "Senior Tang, it's me, Wei Xiaoya. We came here to talk to you about your former junior brother."

*Crack*

As soon as the door opened from the inside, a woman with the appearance of a woman in her early thirties walked out from inside, who was none other than Hun Di's senior sister, Tang Ying.

Tang Yin is a breathtakingly beautiful woman with a graceful, elegant presence. Her face is fair and delicate, with a soft jawline and a calm, gentle expression. Her eyes are large, dark, and slightly tilted—clear and deep, with a peaceful gaze. Her eyebrows are long and straight, resting gently above her eyes, giving her a serene look. Her lips are small, naturally rosy, and softly shaped.

Tang Ying's hair is black, straight, and flows neatly down her back. It is tied at the top with an elegant blue ornament. Her body is tall, slim, and well-proportioned. She has a long neck, soft shoulders, and long arms. Her chest is full and visibly curved but natural—matching her slim figure. Her waist is slim and tight, with smooth curves and long legs. She is wearing a long, flowing white robe with light blue and silver designs.

Zhang Fei [5] took a deep breath when his eyes met Tang Ying's, and her gaze caused his soul to tremble, forcing him to avert his gaze. She is the second woman who made him afraid after the mysterious woman who kidnapped him before. 'What a terrifying beauty.'

Tang Ying waved her hand, and the barrier that was blocking them disappeared immediately. "Come in, Xiaoya. And you should be Zhang Fei, right?"

"Yes." Zhang Fei [5] did not dare to say much to a woman for the first time.

"I see." Tang Ying nodded slightly. "What do you mean by 'my former junior brother'?"

"Senior Tang, we met You Shanyi in my realm, and he controlled the Qiang Emperor and his three wives." Wei Xiaoya immediately pulled Zhang Fei [5] in front of Tang Ying. "Fortunately, Zhang Fei succeeded in freeing them and forcing him to flee, and he is in the Mirage Heaven Realm now."

"Hmm?" Tang Ying narrowed her eyes at Zhang Fei [5]. "Did you manage to free them from Shanyi's soul technique?"

"No." Zhang Fei [5] immediately explained the situation to Tang Ying before opening the portal to the Yin-Yang Space, surprising her. He then brought the Qiang Emperor and his wives out of there. "My master once told me about you, so I brought them here."

Tang Ying used her senses to examine the four people, and she nodded slightly before shooting something into their bodies. "It's done; they should be free from Shanyi's soul technique now, and you can bring them back to their realm later."

"Thank you." Zhang Fei [5] immediately sent the four back to the Yin-Yang Space again, but he did not intend to release them so quickly, and he wanted to milk their Qi first.

Tang Ying then asked them. "How did you guys know that You Shanyi is in the Mirage Heaven Realm now?"

"Him." Weng Xiaoya pointed to Zhang Fei [5]. "He used one of his clones to follow You Shanyi, and they arrived in that realm a week ago."

"This is also your clone, right?" Zhang Fei [5] immediately admitted it to Tang Ying. "I've seen many clone techniques, but none of them are as perfect as yours. Furthermore, Junior Hun shared some information about you with me, but I was surprised to learn that your soul power had advanced to the perfection stage of the Saint Soul level in just three years; no wonder he praised your talent to the skies."

"Haha." Zhang Fei [5] laughed awkwardly. "Senior, I am a dual-soul cultivator, and I have about a hundred partners."

Tang Ying was not surprised by that. "Do you realize that dual cultivator and dual-soul cultivator are two different things? You can quickly improve your cultivation by dual-cultivating with many women, but your soul level is a different story, and you won't be able to improve it this fast even if you dual-soul cultivate with thousands of women."

"Actually, not only did I dual-soul cultivate with them, but I also got some inheritance, which boosted my soul power." Seeing the curiosity in Tang Ying's eyes, Zhang Fei [5] transformed into his complete fox form. "I am also a heavenly fox, Senior."

"Show me your demon form."
