Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Ru Xue lay on a bed, with several other devices attached to some parts of her body. Meanwhile, Tian Yishen and Xiao Laoshu were seriously observing the monitor that showed several things about her, including her bone structure, DNA, etc.

Tian Yishen and Xiao Laoshu repeatedly glanced at Xu Ling'er, especially since she was Ru Xue's daughter. Based on their DNA data, the two are indeed mother and daughter. However, the mother is now a demon beast, and the daughter is still an ordinary little girl.

"Xinxin, how did Zhang Fei turn Ru Xue into a demon beast?" Tian Yishen asked.

Xiao Laoshu then added. "Moreover, her demon beast identity is extraordinary; she is a Celestial Dragon Demon, a type of demon beast for which we have no data. Additionally, she has light and dark elements in her body, and we have never seen anyone else who has both except for her and Zhang Fei."

"I don't know about that." Hong Xinxin shook her head in response. "I was in another realm when he turned Ru Xue into a demon beast."

"Grandpa! Big Sister." Tian Yishen and Xiao Laoshu turned to Xu Ling'er. "My mother got the light dragon bloodline from Empress Long Baiyun, and Big Brother Fei got the Celestial Demon bloodline from a demon acquaintance of his. I can't explain it in detail, but he used a special method to implant the demon bloodline into my mother's body. In fact, the result was beyond his expectations, and my mother turned into a demon beast unintentionally."

"Unintentionally?"

Xu Ling'er nodded at them. "Big Brother Fei originally thought my mother would only be a human with a demon and dragon bloodline, but she actually turned into a demon beast."

"I see." Tian Yishen nodded repeatedly. "Apparently, I have to ask Zhang Fei about the issue directly, and I hope he is willing to explain to me how he turned your mother into a demon beast."

Xiao Laoshu immediately removed all the medical equipment from Ru Xue's body and helped her up. "Senior, Fei'er should be at Senior Cheng's residence now, but she might still be busy with the others."

"I'm curious about your condition, but I'm not in a hurry either, and I'll see your husband after he's free." Tian Yishen then asked. "Do you really want to buy these medical devices?"

Ru Xue nodded at him. "Senior, there are so many people in our family, and our enemies are getting stronger every time Fei'er goes to other realms. We can't let him continue fighting alone, and we want to help him fight them. However, our strength is not as high as his, and our fighting ability is below his. We will probably suffer a lot of injuries if we do that, so I hope to buy these medical devices, and I will use them to treat them if such things happen."

"You're right." Tian Yishen replied with a soft sigh. "Your husband is special, but he is still weak compared to the Nameless One and the others. Whether it's on purpose or not, danger keeps coming to him, like what happened in this realm. Lin Moxian brought him to this realm because of his serious injury, but he inadvertently helped us uncover the hidden danger. If not for him, this realm might have already fallen into the hands of those traitors, and they would have brought Xereth here, which would have destroyed the future of many people."

Liu Qingyu smiled at that. "Fei'er has been like that since he first came to my realm, senior. He came to our realm to begin his path of cultivation, and he fell into my residence at that time. He was too weak at that time, but he had to face a powerful heretic who came to capture me, and I would have fallen into that person's hands if it weren't for him. Additionally, he helped the people of our realm to deal with the demons that had been lurking in our realm for hundreds of years; he managed to stop them with the help of Feng Yao and the others."

"Fei is indeed a magnet for trouble, whether direct or indirect." Hue Yue said with a smile as she recalled her first meeting with Zhang Fei.

Tian Yishen then turned to the three winged races. "What about the three of you? I have met many winged races in the past, but the three of you are the first ones to have a romantic relationship with a human."

The three women smiled awkwardly upon hearing that, and Jiang Yinghua answered her. "Senior, originally my race sent me to oversee the human realm, and I met Zhang Fei there. At first, I was not interested in him, but his face was as thick as a tower wall. He shamelessly kept approaching me, even though I repeatedly rejected him."

"Me too." Meng Tianshi replied with a nod. "Zhang Fei tricked us by giving us his Yang Qi without telling us anything, and we always drank it without knowing that it was his Yang Qi. After he told us the truth, we decided to accept him as our lover."

"That kid did such a thing to you guys, huh?" Tian Yishen then looked at Daniella, but she didn't want to explain her relationship with Zhang Fei to him. "I guess he used bad methods on you, right?"

"Kind of." Daniella answered briefly.

Tian Yishen returned his focus to Ru Xue and spoke to her. "I can help you prepare these medical devices, but their prices are not cheap. One Heavenly Rejuvenation Jade is already worth ten million gold jewels, not to mention the price of the other devices, so you should discuss this with Zhang Fei first."

"Fei'er has already told me about the Heavenly Rejuvenation Jade, and she has already obtained information on how to obtain it." Ru Xue's response surprised Tian Yishen and Xiao Laoshu, but they were not too surprised either, considering Zhang Fei's ability to move from one realm to another. "That realm is in the upper realms, but not everyone knows about it. According to him, only Senior Xia Tian has ever been to that realm, and he got that information from him."

"What is the name of that realm?"

"The Sovereign Heaven Realm." Tian Yishen and Xiao Laoshu immediately admitted that they had never heard of that realm, and Ru Xue told them about the realm based on Zhang Fei's conversation with Xia Tian some time ago. "Senior, please give me a cost estimate for all those medical devices, and I will discuss it with my husband."

Tian Yishen nodded at her. "I will calculate everything after this, and I will have Laoshu send it to Cheng Gaoji's residence after I finish it."

"Thank you, seniors." After that, Hong Xinxin took Ru Xue and the others to Cheng Gaoji's residence to join the others.

After they left, Xiao Laoshu questioned Tian Jishen. "Are you thinking about going to that realm, master?"

"Ha ha." Tian Yishen laughed in response. "Laoshu, I'm too old now, and I'm not an adventurer like Old Xia. Moreover, the people in this realm still need me, so I won't go anywhere, and I will accompany you forever. I will prepare everything now, and you can send it to Ru Xue later."

"Yes, Master."

After a long and tiring journey, Tian Baitian and Tian Baixing finally arrived at the end of the upper realms. "Are you sure the location is around here?"

"Yes." Tian Baixing nodded at her brother before closing her eyes and searching for the exact position of the Sovereign Heaven Realm. "Over there! The entrance is covered by a concealment formation, so no one can find it."

"Let's go."

In a few minutes, Tian Baixing and Tian Baitian had arrived in front of the entrance to the Sovereign Heaven Realm, and the two of them hurriedly entered. However, an old man suddenly appeared in front of them, stopping them. "What is the need for you two to come to my realm?"

Unlike his usual arrogant self, Tian Baitian did not dare act like that in front of the old man. He cupped his hands and respectfully answered. "Senior, I have long known about your realm and all its advantages, so my sister and I want to join your realm."

"No need to lie." The old man shook his head. "I know Xereth is after you two, and you came to my realm to hide from him."

Tian Baixing spoke immediately. "You are right about that, Senior. We are indeed fleeing from Xereth, so I hope you are willing to allow us to enter your realm."

The old man looked at them for quite some time before nodding. "Like everyone else who wants to enter my realm, you two must undergo all the tests. If you fail, there is a chance that you two will die."

"We understand, Senior."

The old man then pointed forward. "Go ahead and start your first test."

"Yes."

The old man looked at Tian Baixing and Tian Baitian's backs, but his fingers moved on their own as if calculating something. 'Their futures are bleak, and death awaits them. Whether it's true or not, I'll find out in the future. Compared to them, I'm looking forward more to meeting the heir of the ten-tailed fox. Unfortunately, it won't happen anytime soon, especially since he's still so weak.'

As soon as they arrived at Cheng Gaoji's residence, Ru Xue immediately explained to Zhang Fei about her conversation with Tian Yishen, including her desire to purchase those medical devices for their needs.

Naturally, Zhang Fei understood that those medical devices would not be cheap, but he also believed they would be essential for their journey, particularly when they traveled to the Paradise Realm in the future. Therefore, he agreed with Ru Xue's wishes, and he would do whatever it took to buy them.

In the morning, Zhang Fei accompanied Wang Yourou to the Wang Clan as promised, and they immediately met her parents to propose to her.

Wang Xiaotang and Gong Yulei were shocked and overjoyed at the same time when Zhang Fei asked for their daughter's hand. For hundreds of years, they had worried that Wang Yourou would never marry, especially since he was more interested in women than men. However, they were confused by the development of their relationship, mainly because their daughter had previously disliked him, but they suddenly decided to get married.

"Father! Mother! Don't ask anything and give us your blessings." Wang Yourou spoke while hugging Zhang Fei's arm.

Wang Xiaotang and Gong Yulei exchanged glances for a moment before letting out a soft sigh. "Do you really like Zhang Fei, Yourou?"

"Mother! Would I marry him if I didn't like him?" Wang Yourou turned the question around. "I admit I didn't like him at first, but I like him now, and we've done intimate things before."

Wang Yourou's words caused her father to nearly fall off his chair, and Wang Xiaotang stared at her in disbelief. "So, when are you two going to get married?"

"After the matter regarding Xereth is over." Zhang Fei answered him.

Wang Xiaotang nodded slightly. "Since you two have made a decision, Yulei and I will approve of your relationship, and we will start preparing for your wedding."

"Hehehe." Wang Yourou giggled and pulled Zhang Fei away. "Father! Mother! I will gather with his family first."

After they left, Gong Yulei rubbed her husband's back. "Even though their relationship seemed to happen so suddenly, I'm glad that our daughter has finally found the man of her choice."

"However, I'm a little worried about our daughter, especially since Zhang Fei's wife has too many." Wang Xiaotang replied with a heavy sigh. "I'm afraid he will show favoritism toward them, and our daughter will suffer if that happens."

"I've thought about that too, but I'm sure our daughter has already thought about their relationship seriously. Moreover, she's been around for thousands of years now, so she should know what's best for her." Gong Yulei immediately got down from his chair. "I will prepare the wedding dress, and you can prepare other things for their wedding."

"All right."

After completing the two daily quests at the Hellblaze Volcano, Zhang Fei [4] immediately resumed his journey. Unlike other cultivators, he did not rush to the summit, but instead, he chose to fight the lava beasts that were starting to appear again.

Meanwhile, Feltia [2] had already arrived at the top of the mountain in an invisible state, especially since she had not stopped climbing since yesterday in order to get ahead of the other cultivators. However, there was only a lava crater in front of him, and countless lava beasts continued to come out of it. "Can you detect the presence of the Earth Flame, Mei?"

[Master, the Earth Flame is hidden deep within the lava, and its location is almost at the core of this realm.]

Feltia [2] raised an eyebrow. "That place must be extremely hot."

[Hehehe! Master, this place is much hotter than the sea of fire in the Phoenix Realm. The temperature at the location of the Earth Flame reaches thousands of degrees Celsius. Instead of considering taking the flame, you should take advantage of this place to increase your fire elemental law first. Once your fire elemental law reaches the half-perfection stage, it will be easier for you to dive into this sea of ​​lava.]

Feltia [2] agreed with that, but the fire salamander suddenly burst out of his body, and it jumped immediately into the sea of ​​lava below them. "Huo Yan is too eager to improve himself."

Thereafter, Feltia [2] immediately activated her fire element and fire elemental law, and he jumped into the lava. However, he chose to cultivate just above the surface rather than diving into the lava.

.

.

.

Unlike Feltia [2], the fire salamander continued to dive into the lava until it reached the location of the Earth Flame.

The Earth Flame itself was huge with a molten gold color, and it was enveloped by a faint golden-red barrier that separated it from the lava.

The fire salamander's eyes sparkled when it saw the Earth Flame and tried to approach it, but a small figure like a five-year-old boy suddenly materialized in front of it and attacked it.

"Hiss." The fire salamander hissed under the small boy figure's attack, but it didn't give up and tried to approach the Earth Flame again.

"Stay away, ugly creature!" The small boy attacks the fire salamander again, but it immediately dodges his attack by swimming in the lava before attacking him back with a fireball. "If you insist on getting my flame, I will kill you even if you are a fire spirit like me."

The little boy's threat forced the fire salamander to stop, but its eyes continued to stare at the Earth Flame, as it was eager to absorb its power.

The little boy then spoke again. "If you want to get my flame power, you must wait for your master to come here. He must pass my tests to get my flame, and it will not be easy for him."

The fire salamander stared at the small boy for quite some time before swimming back to the surface to pick up Feltia [2], but it repeatedly looked back at him.

The small boy ignored the fire salamander and looked at the surface. "That kid is really weird! He is a human, demon, and fox beast. Moreover, he is just one of his clones, and his other clone is climbing my mountain. I don't understand why he still wants to obtain my flame when he already possesses the phoenix, soul, and dragon flames. Regardless, I won't surrender my flame to him that easily. If he fails my tests, he will die here, and his strength will be mine."
