Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1467: Talk With Four Demons

Inside the residence, Xiao Jingyi was extremely tense as two demon gods sat before her. Furthermore, Qi Qingxiu, who was Zhang Fei’s wife, did not behave like a demon god; instead, she acted like a proper wife.

"Miss Jingyi, are you willing to stay in Qingxiu’s domain?"

Xiao Jingyi looked at Zhang Fei. "Why are you so eager to help me? After all, we just met today, and we didn’t know each other before."

"Haha." Zhang Fei laughed at her question. "As the saying goes, the enemy of your enemy is your friend. We both have the same enemy, the Winged Race, so I want to help you to become stronger to face them. However, not all of them are bad people, and I have a relationship with those people."

"For example?"

"Tian Yizu, Tian Huangjin, Tian Zhiling, Tian Huotian, Tian Wei, Tian You’an, and Tian Xuanyin." Xiao Jingyi was surprised to hear that Zhang Fei had favorable relations with several grand elders of the Winged Race. "I don’t know how to tell you about them, but they are people from that race who are on my side, at least for now."

"For now?"

"Yes." Zhang Fei nodded at her. "Even though they are on my side now, it doesn’t mean they will be forever. After all, we can’t know the hearts of living beings, right? They are on my side now, but they might betray me in the future, so I will always be wary of them."

"Does that mean you suspect me too?"

Zhang Fei looked at Ye Mingran and smiled at her. "I may be younger than you, but I’ve faced many things in the past, and betrayal was one of them. Long before I became a cultivator, my lover betrayed me and collaborated with my big brother to frame me. My feelings at that time were painful after I found out the truth, and their betrayal taught me many things. I may seem trusting to everyone, but I assure you that I always keep an eye on everyone, and I will immediately eliminate anyone once I detect any intention of betrayal from any of them."

"You’re so cautious, huh?" Ye Mingran glanced at Qi Qingxiu before asking another question. "What would you do if any of your wives betrayed you?"

"Does that question need to be asked?" Zhang Fei glanced at Qi Qingxiu, who was curious about his answer. "My feelings and love for all my wives are unquestionable, and I love them wholeheartedly. Even though I love them, my love for them will never blind my mind, and I will give them their worst nightmare if they dare to betray me, no matter who they are. In the past, I killed my biological brother, Zhang He, and my ex-lover, Chen Xing, so you should not doubt my words."

Ye Mingran and Xiao Jingyi were completely shocked by Zhang Fei’s answer, and they didn’t expect him to have the heart to kill his biological brother. "Don’t you have a problem with that, Qingxiu?"

"Why should I mind that?" Qi Qingxiu answered Ye Mingran casually. "Like my husband, I will kill anyone who dares to betray me and harm the people around me, regardless of who they are. Therefore, I will support him if he wants to kill any of his wives or family members who have bad intentions towards him, and I will help him if he can’t bear to do it himself."

Nalan Wangzi shook her head slightly when Ye Mingran looked at her. "Just like Aunt Qingxiu, I will support my husband’s decision regarding them, Aunt Mingran. If they have to die, it is due to their mistakes, and they must take responsibility for those mistakes."

"Phew." Ye Mingran sighed to herself because Zhang Fei and the two women were truly extreme. If she were in that position, she wouldn’t necessarily dare to make such a decision. Even though she was a demon god, she would never have the heart to kill her family members, and she would probably spare them and simply banish them from her domain. "Since there’s nothing more we need to discuss, I’ll return to my domain now because I still have some matters to attend to."

"Haha." Qi Qingxiu laughed after Ye Mingran left in a hurry. "Mingran is a demon god like me, but her character is the opposite of yours, Husband. If she were to encounter such a situation, I’m sure she wouldn’t kill that person, and she would definitely spare him or her."

"Not everyone can think like you, including demon gods, Husband." Nalan Wangzi turned to Zhang Fei. "My mother was in a similar position when her little brother betrayed her and collaborated with Mo Shentian, but she didn’t kill him and banished him from our domain. Even so, he still died at the hands of that demon god, and my mother quite regretted his death."

Zhang Fei raised an eyebrow after hearing that. "Does my mother-in-law still hold a deep grudge against Mo Shentian?"

"Hehe." Nalan Wangzi giggled. "Even if Mo Shentian didn’t kill my uncle, my mother would still hate him because he forced her to marry me off to Mo Taizi. To my mother, the three of us are everything to her, so she was really angry about that. Even though they were both demon gods, she couldn’t fight him because he was much stronger than her, and he could bend reality. She was worried that our demon race would become extinct, so she was forced to follow his wishes and marry me off to her son. Fortunately, you were present in this realm, and you saved me from that situation; otherwise, I would have ended up like Shang Xueli."

Xiao Jingyi, who had been listening to their conversation in silence, was shocked again after Nalan Wangzi mentioned that matter. ’Did he really fight Mo Shentian and his Celestial Demon Race before? How did he manage to return safely? My grandfather once told me that the Celestial Demon God is the strongest among the ten demon gods, and the others are helpless before him.’

"You’re wrong; I’ve never fought Mo Shentian before." Xiao Jingyi turned to Zhang Fei in confusion, wondering how he could have read her mind. "I don’t like to fight head-on without knowing my chances of winning, so I will use other means to destroy my enemies if I can’t do it myself. So, do you want to move to Qingxiu’s demon domain? Even though you can’t leave her palace, you can increase your strength faster there, especially your demon rank."

Xiao Jingyi refused with a shake of her head. "I want to become strong and take revenge on Tian Liefeng, but I can’t leave this city, at least not yet. I’ve lived here for too long, and I’m quite close to the residents of this city, so I can’t leave them all of a sudden."

Qi Qingxiu wanted to talk to Xiao Jingyi and persuade her, but Zhang Fei immediately stopped her. "If that’s your decision, I will respect it, and I won’t force you to train in that domain. If you’re ready someday, you can tell my two wives at my alchemy shop, and I’ll send you to that domain."

"Thank you."

After sending Nalan Wangzi and Qi Qingxiu into the training room to continue their training using the gravity feature, Zhang Fei and Xiao Jingyi returned to the alchemy shop while chatting on the way there.

Although the city wasn’t as large as other cities, Zhang Fei really liked it because it was truly peaceful, and no other cultivators tried to cause trouble there. He thought of letting Huang Rong and Yang Lu’er manage their shop for a while before asking them to return to the Moonlit Passion Temple, and he would help them to increase their soul power once they were there. However, he needed someone to watch over his shop if he asked the two women to return to the sect, but he didn’t have a good choice for now.

When they arrived at the alchemy shop, Zhang Fei and Xiao Jingyi did not go inside; instead, they jumped onto the roof of the building in front of it to watch the customers, who were busy choosing pills inside the shop.

Zhang Fei checked on Mu Lingshu, Lin Dong’er, Cheng Wenjie, Tasha, and several others who were enjoying themselves in the city. He could see that they were not disturbed at all, and they were enjoying themselves by buying many traditional foods from the city, especially the female demon wolf.

Xiao Jingyi tilted her head and asked him. "How did you get so many wives? You even got Demon God Qingxiu and the two princesses of the Soul-Devouring Race as your wives."

"Hahaha." Zhang Fei laughed as he used despicable methods to get Qi Qingxiu and Nalan Yushu as his wives. As for Nalan Wangzi, she seduced him first because she didn’t want to marry Mo Taizi, and he just went with the flow. "I got to know the three of them by chance, and I used a little underhanded method on two of them. As you already know, I’m a lust demon, and they aren’t immune to abilities related to lust."

Xiao Jingyi knew that, but she felt that Zhang Fei used other means to get them as his wives, especially Qi Qingxiu. After all, she was a powerful demon god, and she felt that he would not succeed in conquering her just by relying on his lust demon abilities.
