Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Hearing the commotion, Lin Moxian, Qiao Liangren, Yan Yinqing, Tantai Lingyan, Shang Yingyue, and Wu Xueming rushed to Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s room, where they saw Boitata hugging his arm while fiercely glaring at Shang Yaolin.

Unlike Lin Moxian, the other six had never met Boitata, but they immediately understood that she was one of Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s wives. The three women, Yan Yinqing, Tantai Lingyan, and Shang Yingyue, were jealous because of her beauty.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] let out a soft sigh and opened the gate to the Nine Stars Realm; he brought them all into that realm before going to their residence in the southernmost area of ​​the human island.

"Who created all the formations in this residence and the surrounding area, Junior Brother?" Lin Moxian asked.

Qiao Liangren also checked every formation. "Their grades are not high, but they are more than enough for the middle realms."

"I agree with you, Senior Brother." Shang Yingyue said with a nod.

Yan Yinqing then asked. "Isn't our junior brother a rank 4 array master? All these formations are rank 4 and 5, so he should be able to create some of them."

"Senior Sister Yan, I had not reached that rank when I transmigrated to this realm. Therefore, I asked my acquaintance, Fa Zhen, to create them." Zhang Xiaolong [3] then opened the portal to the training space and asked everyone inside to come out, especially since they had been living there for the past five months. Furthermore, the flow of time inside was two times faster than in the outside world, which is why he asked everyone to take a rest first.

Lin Moxian and the others were stunned as they came out one by one, especially since there were so many of them. Moreover, their number is dominated by women, and none of them is ugly; instead, all of them are such beauties with different characteristics and demeanors.

"Mother! Father!" Wu Lianzhi shouted as soon as she saw her parents there, and she rushed over to them. "I missed you so much!"

Wu Xueming smiled and lifted Wu Lianzhi into his arms, but Shang Yingyue sighed in her heart after she detected Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s Yang Qi within their daughter's body. "Your cultivation has improved a lot since we left, Lianzhi."

"Hehe." Wu Lianzhi giggled and whispered into her father's ear, surprising Wu Xueming. "If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have broken through to the soul realm, Father."

"I see." Wu Xueming nodded in understanding. "However, you shouldn't rely solely on that and must continue manual cultivation, understood?"

"I know, Father." Wu Lianzhi then pointed to Xu Ling'er and Tasha. "Father, they are always good to me, and the three of us are like sisters now."

Wu Xueming and Shang Yingyue immediately looked at the two little girls, and they could tell that Xu Ling'er was about the same age as their daughter. However, Tasha was much older than them, and they recognized that she was a wolf demon.

"Tasha is a wolf demon from the Blackthorn Abyss Realm, but her father brought her to the Netherworld Realm to hide from their enemies, and Long'er met them there." Wu Xueming and Shang Yingyue nodded to Wu Lianzhi, who immediately continued. "Xu Ling'er is the daughter of Big Sis Ru Xue, one of Long'er's wives, and she will also be his wife in the future."

Hearing that, they all looked at Zhang Xiaolong [3] with strange gazes, especially since Xu Ling'er was only 11 years old. However, he already considered her his wife, and he even gave his Yang Qi to her. Furthermore, her mother was one of his wives, which made them feel like their relationship was a strange one.

Ru Xue, who was standing beside Zhang Xiaolong [3], immediately told them. "Seniors, my husband never thought about it before, but my daughter fell in love with him. Since his relationship was already messy, I decided to let my daughter be his wife in the future."

Although Ru Xue explained it that way, Shang Yingyue still felt that Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s relationship with them was too strange. Unlike them, Shang Yaolin felt inferior and embarrassed toward them, especially because of their beauty, and many of them were hotter than her, such as Boitata.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] directly introduced her to them. "Ru Xue was my first woman, and she became my woman the moment I awakened my demon side. She used to be a human, but she chose to become a demon, and she made that decision for my sake."

"Which of them are your women, Junior Brother? How can they all be this beautiful?" Yan Yinqing curiously asked. Shang Yaolin, Tantai Lingyan, and Shang Yingyue were also curious about their identities.

Zhang Xialong [3] first introduced them to Zhang Chen, his family members, and his wives' families. After that, he told them about the identities of all his official women, unofficial women, servants, and clones' partners. "Only Shang Yumei, Hong Xinxin, and Murong Qianying were absent, especially since they are in three different realms now."

"Hahahaha." Yan Yinqing laughed out loud before turning to Lin Moxian and Qiao Liangren with a mischievous smile on her face. "Senior brother! Liangren! Look at our junior brother; he is much younger than us, but he has more than fifty women by his side. Meanwhile, you two are still single even after hundreds of years, so you two should learn from him in wooing women."

Qiao Liangren responded to Yan Yinqing with a relaxed smile, especially since he didn't think much about women, and his cultivation was much more important to him.

Lin Moxian, on the other hand, immediately mocked Yan Yinqing back. "Do you think you are any different from us? You have been here for over a thousand years, but you have never had a lover, so you are a great sage!"

"Humph!" Yan Yinqing snorted and shut her mouth without being able to refute, making Lin Moxian smile triumphantly.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] then spoke to Zhang Chen. "Grandma, I know it's still midnight, but please prepare a feast for them so they can taste the dishes from the earth."

"Leave everything to us." Zhang Chen then glanced at Shang Yaolin. "Bring her and the others with you, and we will accompany your guests."

Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded at her. "I will take them to the Southern Ocean now."

Upon arrival, Zhang Xiaolong [3] wanted to speak to Shang Yaolin, but all his women glared at him. Even Zhang Yue and Hu Yue, who never asked for anything, also asked him to leave them.

'Tch! They're really scary when they unite like this!' Zhang Xiaolong [3] muttered in his heart as he moved away from them, making Mei laugh loudly in his mind. 'Stop laughing at me, or I'll kick your ass.'

[Hahaha! You can try, Master.] Mei challenged Zhang Xiaolong [3] as she continued to laugh.

"Do you still think you are important after meeting us?" Boitata asked Shang Yaolin directly, and her tone was full of disdain. "Xian Xianqin is the princess of this kingdom. Yun Xinyue is the princess of the Yun Kingdom. Meanwhile, Zhou Shenxin is the empress of the Zhou Kingdom, so our husband is the emperor. Compared to us, your only advantage is your cultivation. Sooner or later, we will reach your level, and you will no longer have any other advantages over us."

Shang Yaolin clenched both fists tightly, especially since Boitata had been continuously insulting him since the Xianjin Realm. She wanted to attack her, but she couldn't possibly fight them all. Moreover, Shou Shenxin and some of them were stronger than her, so she would be doomed if she fought them.

Liu Hua, observing her expression, spoke. "The first time we met was a little over a year ago; our husband had not yet begun his cultivation path at that time, and he began it in our residence. Since then, we have always helped each other to reach this stage, so our relationship is already deep now."

"I don't mean to belittle you or brag about ourselves in front of you, but Boitata is right. We are indeed weaker than you, but some of us have higher statuses than you." Liu Qingyu also spoke to Shang Yaolin. "At first, our husband also lied to us, especially about his identity as a lust demon. At that time, some of us had already become his women, and we were quite disappointed because of his lies. However, we realized that he was forced to lie because his cultivation was still in the Elementary Realm, and he had no backers in our home realm. In the end, we decided to forgive him and accepted everything, including his lies."

Chu Ying didn't like Shang Yaolin's attitude toward Zhang Xiaolong [3], but she could understand her feelings. Then, she grabbed her hand and spoke to her. "Honestly, our situations are a bit similar, but at that time, my relationship with Fei'er had not progressed as far as your relationship with him. I was disappointed in him because he did something unusual to me without my consent, and I was also disappointed that he did not reveal his demon identity from the start. However, he never did anything evil to me; he even saved my mother and aunt from an evil cultivator. Therefore, I forgave him and accepted him, and we eventually became husband and wife."

"I already liked Fei'er before I knew that he was human." Shang Yaolin cast a strange side glance at Chu Qing. "I'm not concerned about his identity, whether he is human, beast, or demon. At that time, I knew I would be happy if he were by my side, so I accepted whatever he was."

Hu Yue then told Shang Yaolin about her first meeting with Zhang Fei, which surprised her. "I don't know what came over me at that time, but I fell in love with him at first sight, and I decided to give myself to him at that moment. He promised to save me in five years, but he fulfilled our promise several years early."

"I became Fei'er's wife initially because of my bet with Qingyu, and I still didn't know him at that time because it was our first time meeting." This time, Zhang Lingxue spoke to Shang Yaolin. "However, I feel lucky to have known him and to be his wife, and I will never hesitate to do anything to help him."

"My situation is not much different from Hu Yue, and I kept thinking about our husband after our first meeting at the Blazing Volcano Mountain." Shang Yaolin turned to Shen Yu, who directly told her about their relationship. "For my sake, he joined our sect. Not only did he free me from my shackles, but he also helped us to clean up our enemies. I am now his wife, and I will do anything for him."

After that, Zhao Ziqin, Ye Lian, Jannete, Lillea, Shen Xueyi, and the other women also told Shang Yaolin about the beginning of their relationship with Zhang Xiaolong [3] up to their decision to become his wife.

"I—" Shang Yaolin wanted to say something, but no words came out of her mouth.

Ru Xue sighed softly as she looked at Shang Yaolin. "I'm not saying this because I'm his wife, but I've known him for much longer than you, so I've long understood his character and feelings. He's a loving person, but he's also a vengeful person. He did lie to you, but he did it because you were his enemy. You obeyed Shang Huaqiang's orders, and your actions caused some of us to suffer, so he took revenge on you in such a way. However, he and Sister Yumei have told us about many things, which allowed us to understand your situation."

"Like Xue, I have known our husband for several years, so I also understand everything about him. After we understand your situation, we ask him to forgive you, and we want him to take you as his wife." Zhong Yan then pointed to Zhang Yue and Zhang Lin. "Among us, the two of them understand him the most, especially since they are his big sister and younger sister. Lin'er is his first love, and she loves him unconditionally. Yue'er rarely shows her feelings, but she wholeheartedly loves him."

"Sister Yaolin, I can understand your disappointment, but the situation between the two of you forced him to lie to you." Zhang Lin took Shang Yaolin's hand. "If you really like him, you should learn to understand the situation, and you can try to forgive him."

"We wanted him to accept you as his woman, but we didn't like your attitude toward him." Shang Yaolin shivered hearing Zhang Yue's icy voice and icy aura. "For us, our husband is everything, and we will do anything for him. We won't let him beg anyone, including you. If you care more about your feelings, you are not worthy to be his wife, and we will never accept you among us."

Boitata smirked as soon as Zhang Yue said that, and the other women also agreed with her. After all, they had been with Zhang Xiaolong [3] for so long, and they also had the same goal.

"Yaolin, you don't need to make a decision now, and you can think things through first." Qing Yi then turned to the others. "I think we've talked to him enough, and we don't need to force him to accept our principles. If he can forgive Fei'er and love her sincerely, we will accept him, but vice versa."

"I agree." Xian Xianqin then turned around. "Let's go back and let him think about our words first."

After that, Zhang Lin and the others immediately followed Xian Xianqin, but Shen Xueyi paused for a moment and spoke to Shang Yaolin. "I hope you will make the right decision for your future."

*Thud*

Shang Yaolin fell into the sand after they left. She then hugged her legs, buried her face between them, and started sobbing.

However, Murong Qianying suddenly landed behind her daughter. Zhang Xiaolong [3] deliberately picked her up at the Red Sun Realm and brought her there specifically to talk to Shang Yaolin.

Murong Qianying released a soft sigh, sat by Shang Yaolin's side, and hugged her.

For a moment, Shang Yaolin looked up at her mother, taken aback. She then asked her. "What should I do, Mother?"

"Don't you already know the answer?" Murong Qianying returned the question as she caressed the back of Shang Yaolin's head. "If only your father and I were strong enough to fight Shang Huaqiang back then, you would never be in this kind of situation. I know you have completely fallen in love with him, but our weakness led to this situation. You must follow your feelings, or you will make a decision that you will regret for the rest of your life."

Shang Yaolin was innocent, but she was not stupid, and she knew that she would regret it if she refused to forgive Zhang Xiaolong [3]. However, she could not possibly forgive him just like that, especially since his lies deeply disappointed her.

Shang Yaolin then laid her head on her mother's shoulder as she considered everything, and Murong Qianying just held her in her arms, letting her think.

Meanwhile, Zhang Xiaolong [3] had already arrived at the Huangfu Kingdom, and he went straight to the dungeon. Helian Yueyi immediately recognized him, but she no longer remembered any communication or meeting between them.

"Zhang Fei!" Huangfu Xiaomei and Huangfu Xiaoying exclaimed in surprise. "Zhang Fei! Please free us from this place."

"Why should I free you three?" Zhang Xiaolong [3] posed this question as he stood before their prison. "Your father and brother repeatedly wanted to capture me, but I didn't expect that Huangfu Shou would already die before I could take revenge on him."

"We—"

"That's enough, Xiaoying and Xiaomei." Helian Yueyi stopped her two daughters. "Why did you come here? Do you want to take revenge on us for what my late husband did to you?"
