Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son-Chapter 1024: Send The Demon’s Eye Orb

"These tree formation arrays are similar to those in our forest, but they are more complex than ours." Sabina, the dryad leader from the Sky Jade Realm, spoke in awe.

Qian Shuang immediately explained to her. "These tree formation arrays were created by Aunt Shenlin, and she is a dryad like you."

"I see." Sabina nodded in understanding before turning to her members. "Will the dryads in your forest be willing to accept them?"

"Since Aunt Yuyan and the others have agreed, they will definitely be willing to accept all of you, so you don’t have to worry about that." Qian Shuang immediately activated the formation, revealing the path to the underground. "Let’s enter."

After Qian Shuang pulled Zhang Xiaolong [3] into the underground, Sabina and the other leaders immediately led their members into the place in neat rows.

Since Elmyra was not with them, Zhang Xiaolong [3] asked Qian Shuang to lead the elf race members from the Sky Jade Realm, especially since she herself was an elf.

"How did you guys manage to build such a big and strong underground?" Gravir, the dwarf, asked Qian Shuang.

Tanbar, the gnome leader, was also curious about it. "Are there many dwarf and gnome races in there?"

"Yes, there are many dwarf and gnome races in our forest, and their ancestors built this underground, assisted by other races." Qian Shuang’s answer made Gravir and Tanbar excited, and they couldn’t wait to meet the two races. "When we get there, Aunt Yuyan will take you to each race’s residential area, and you’ll live with them from now on."

When they came out of the underground, Jia Yuyan and several other people were already waiting for them in front of the exit.

However, Qian Chaoying smiled strangely, especially when he saw his daughter intimately hugging Zhang Xiaolong [3]’s arm. He initially didn’t like him, but the effect of his pills made him eager to match the two.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] naturally noticed Qian Chaoying’s expression, but he ignored him and introduced the natural races of the Sky Jade Realm to them.

Jia Yuyan then brought Oliver and the fairy race members with him. Ren Shuo brought Gravir and the dwarf race members. Zhu Ru led Tanbar and his people to another area, where the gnome race lived.

After Qian Chaoying brought the elf races of the Sky Jade Realm away, Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately spoke to Jing Shenlin. "Lillea has already treated Cassia, Milia, and Viola as her own daughters, so I hope you can take good care of them."

"Don’t worry, I will definitely take good care of them." Jing Shenlin then led Sabina and the other dryads to follow her.

Before the three followed them, Cassia, Milia, and Viola first kissed Zhang Xiaolong [3].

"Are they your women too?" Qian Shuang suddenly asked as she looked at the three dryads.

"Not really." Zhang Xiaolong [3] then recounted to Qian Shuang about his first meeting with Cassia, Milia, and Viola. "Even though we often kissed in the past, they didn’t want to be my women because Lillea and Janette were their queen and princess, and they didn’t want to be in an equal position with them."

Qian Shuang nodded in understanding. "The dryads in this forest don’t have that kind of feeling either, and they reproduce independently."

"Haha." Zhang Xiaolong [3] softly laughed, hugged her waist, and then led her to meet Qian Chaoying. "In fact, Lillea was like them before, and she gave birth to Janette independently. It even took me a while to convince her, but she eventually became my wife."

"Are you interested in some of the women in this forest?" Qian Shuang curiously asked.

"Yes." Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded to her. "Apart from you, I’m only interested in Jia Yuyan and Ju Zhu."

Qian Shuang naturally knew about Zhang Xiaolong [3]’s interest in the two women. "What about Aunt Shenlin? Are you not interested in her?"

Zhang Xiaolong [3] turned to her with a smile. "Jing Shenlin is indeed beautiful and sexy, but I don’t feel the slightest attraction towards her; otherwise, I would have approached her from the start."

"What about Xiyi?"

"Shuang’er, I have numerous women by my side, but that doesn’t mean I’ll be interested in every woman I meet, okay?" Qian Shuang nodded slightly to Zhang Xiaolong [3]. "Ren Xiyi is no less beautiful than you, and I like her character. However, I don’t view her romantically; instead, I prefer to have a familial relationship with her, which makes your brother’s jealousy of me completely unfounded."

Qian Shuang released a soft sigh. "My brother has always been like that; he’s always jealous whenever he sees other men getting close to Xiyi. Even though our father and brother have warned him many times, he still never changes, which irritates her."

"I don’t care about him or his actions, but your brother will have to bear the consequences if he dares to look for trouble with me just because of his blind jealousy." Seeing Zhang Xiaolong [3]’s seriousness, Qian Shuang chose not to comment on it, but she hoped that there would be no conflict between them.

Before long, they had arrived at the area where the elf race lived, and Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately told Qian Chaoying that he wanted to take Qian Shuang as his wife, to which he right away agreed.

Qian Zhanji and Qian Bing were thrilled to hear the news, and they felt happy for Qian Shuang. However, Qian Li, who had hated Zhang Xiaolong [3] because of his closeness to Ren Xiyi, did not like the news.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] naturally didn’t care whether Qian Li agreed to their relationship or not, and he immediately took Qian Shuang to the main city.

"Are you really going to let Quang’er marry that bastard, Father?"

Qian Chaoying glared fiercely at his second son. "That bastard is much more capable than you, who always acts childish because of your blind jealousy. He is still in his early twenties, but his cultivation has already reached the Seven Divine Realms, and he has also become a Venerable Rank alchemist at such a young age. In contrast, it took you a few hundred years to reach that stage, and your only skill is hunting."

"Father, you—"

"I’ve decided to accept their relationship, and you’d better accept that fact; otherwise, I’ll exile you from our race, and you can look for resources for your cultivation by yourself." Not only was Qian Li shocked by Qian Chaoying’s decision, but Qian Zhanji and Qian Bing were also shocked to hear their father’s and uncle’s. "Leave and don’t ever interfere with your sister’s relationship, or I will really do what I said just now."

After Qian Li left, Qian Zhanji immediately asked his father. "Are you really serious about what you just said?"

"Don’t I look serious to you?" Qian Chaoying turned the question around with a shake of his head. "Your brother is too stupid! He can’t tell good from bad, and he will die quickly if he stays outside with that mindset."

Qian Zhanji nodded in agreement with his father. "Li’er is too stubborn and spoiled, which makes his character like that."

"Forget it." Qian Chaoying then looked at Oliver and the others. "Take care of them, Zhanji. I’ll go take care of other things."

"Yes, Father."

Helian Xun’er immediately appeared in front of Zhang Xiaolong [3] and Qian Shuang. "Hehe! You got such a pretty elf as your new woman, eh?"

’This woman is much stronger than my father and Aunt Yuyan!’ Qian Shuang inwardly muttered as she blushed.

"Do you also want to be my woman, Senior Xun’er?" Zhang Xiaolong [3] teased her back.

"Hehe." Helian Xun’er chuckled and touched his chest with her index finger. "Honestly, I have been interested in you since your success in learning the Yin-Yang Fire Art, but you are still too weak now. If you succeed in reaching my level in the future, I might consider you, so you must work hard for that."

Zhang Xiaolong [3] simply smiled at that, and he took out the Demon’s Eye Orb. "Can you send it into that clan? I want to infiltrate there myself, but I think it’s too risky, so I want to use this thing to check on that clan."

"It’s just a trivial matter." Helian Xun’er immediately took the orb and sent it into the Cao Clan. "It’s done; you can freely spy on them from now on."

"Thank you." Zhang Xiaolong [3] thought for a moment before speaking to her again. "Senior Xun’er, I want to ask you about a woman, and she probably came from the Paradise Realm."

"Share me her image." Zhang Xiaolong [3] then shared his memories of meeting the mysterious woman with Helian Xun’er. "I’ve never met a woman like her, and her attire looks much more ancient than the attire of the residents in the Paradise Realm. Why are you looking for her?"

Zhang Xiaolong [3] trembled every time he remembered the mysterious woman. "I don’t know her, but she suddenly kidnapped me and brought me to her place."

"Hmm?" Helian Xun’er frowned at that, especially since she and the others had been living in the realm for a while, but none of them had sensed the presence of such a powerful cultivator. She frowned deeper after Zhang Xiaolong [3] recalled everything. "I’ve met many powerful cultivators in the Paradise Realm, be they humans, beasts, or demons, but I’ve never heard of someone having such an ability. If she can kidnap you from inside a dream you created yourself, that means she has the same ability as you. Perhaps you guessed right that she left something in her puppet’s body, and she used it on you without you realizing it. Unfortunately, I don’t have information about a woman like her, but my master might know something about it, so I’ll go back now and ask him."

"Please inform me if your master knows anything about her, Senior Xun’er."

"All right."

After Helian Xun’er left, Zhang Xiaolong [3] brought Qian Shuang to the Duanmu Clan, especially since he had promised Duanmu Luolan to talk to her son.

"Hey! Why are you helping that kid again, Xun’er?"

Helian Xun’er ignored Hua Mei’er and informed Wan Jiang about her conversation with Zhang Xiaolong [3] just now, and she shared the mysterious woman’s appearance with him. "Can you recognize her, Master?"

"Let me see her first." Minutes later, Wan Jiang’s expression turned serious. "What happened? Didn’t that race disappear a long time ago? How can a woman from that race still exist?"

"Which race are you talking about, Master?" Sima Yun asked him.

Wan Jiang let out a soft sigh. "Based on her attire and the symbols on it, I believe that the woman is from one of the ancient clans that disappeared several million years ago, specifically the Ancient Nether Clan."

"Is the Ancient Nether Clan the same as the Nine-Nethers Demon Clan, Master?"

"No." Wan Jiang shook his head in response. "The Ancient Nether Clan is far more ancient than all the clans that exist in the Paradise Realm now, and they were extremely powerful in the past. Besides them, there were nine other ancient clans, and people in the past called them the Ten Heavenly God Clans. But several million years ago, they suddenly vanished for no apparent reason, and there are only a few records about them left behind, so no one knows whether they still exist or have vanished. The mysterious woman’s sudden appearance proves that at least one of them still exists, and the others may also still exist today, but no one knows about their whereabouts."

"Master, if that woman is truly a member of the Ancient Nether Clan, then why is she wandering around the three mortal realms? What is her purpose in turning those women into her puppets?" Helian Xun’er asked with an expression full of doubt.

Wan Jiang let out a soft sigh and shook his head. "For now, it’s just my guess, and I can’t confirm its truth. However, you can tell Zhang Fei about my guess, and you must ask him not to get too close to her puppets. If she really is a member of the Ancient Nether Clan, he will face the most dangerous enemy, and no one can save him, including those two ancient beasts."

"Yes, Master."

.

.

.

Zhang Xiaolong [3], who was chatting with Yuan Hao and Duanmu Luolan, immediately changed his expression after he listened to Helian Xun’er’s voice transmission.

"What happened?" Duanmu Luolan asked him.

"Do you remember the mysterious woman I told you about yesterday?" Duanmu Luolan nodded to Zhang Xiaolong [3]. "One of my acquaintances just contacted me, and her master suspects that she is a member of an ancient clan, but it should have disappeared several million years ago."

Duanmu Luolan, Yuan Hao, and Qian Shuang were shocked by that. "What clan is that? Did it come from the Paradise Realm?"

"Yes." Zhang Xiaolong [3] let out a heavy sigh. "The Ancient Nether Clan came from the Paradise Realm, but their existence is still a mystery because they disappeared a long time ago along with the other nine clans."

"Nine other clans?"

"Her master didn’t mention anything about the other nine clans, but he did say that people in the past referred to them as the Ten Heavenly God Clans." Wan Jiang’s conjecture made Zhang Xiaolong [3]’s heart grow heavier as he thought too much about the mysterious woman. "Forget it, that woman and those clans are too far beyond our reach, and I will keep my distance from her puppets from now on."

Duanmu Luolan nodded in agreement. "Even though you are strong now, you still can’t reach her with your current level, so you made the right decision to keep your distance from her affairs."

"Yeah." Zhang Xiaolong [3] then spoke to Yuan Hao. "Your mother has been living in solitude since your father passed away, and I think it’s time for her to move on with her life. I know you doubt me because I have so many wives by my side, but I like your mother, and I am confident that I can bring new happiness to her life."

Duanmu was embarrassed to hear Zhang Xiaolong [3] say that to her son, and Yuan Hao briefly looked at her mother before speaking to him. "I know that I am not your opponent, but I am the same as you. My mother is everything to me, and I want her to always be happy in her life. I don’t mind if you want to marry her, but you have to promise me to make her happy. If I find out that you make her disappointed and sad, I will use all my strength to fight you to the death." frёeweɓηovel_coɱ

"Hao’er, you—"

"Don’t worry, I’m a man of my word. I will never let your mother down, let alone make her sad." Zhang Xiaolong [3] then placed a few pill bottles in front of Yuan Hao. "You are the only man in your family and her son, so I hope you will accept them as a dowry."

Duanmu Luolan’s face became extremely red with embarrassment after Zhang Xiaolong [3] said that to her son, especially since he had not yet accepted him as her future husband, but he had already given her son a dowry.

Yuan Hao turned to his mother with a smile before taking and storing those pill bottles. "Now that the affair between the two of you has settled, it’s your turn to help me propose to Shangguan Miyuan, Mother."

"Oh, that’s right!" Duanmu Luolan immediately stood up from her seat. "Let’s go to the Shangguan Clan now, and I’ll talk to Shangguan Yan directly."

.

.

.

A while later, they were already in the main hall of the Shangguan Clan, but Shangguan Yan repeatedly looked at Duanmu Luolan with a teasing smile, which made Luolan feel embarrassed. "Does this mean that you two are officially a couple now, Luolan?"

’Tch!’ Duanmu Luolan did not respond to Shangguan Yan’s question; instead, she immediately explained the reason for their visit. "Yan, I came here to ask for your daughter’s hand in marriage to my son, so please call Miyuan here."

"Huh?" Shangguan Yan was shocked to hear that, and she asked Yuan Hao directly. "Since when did you have a romantic relationship with my daughter, Hao’er? How come I never knew about your relationship?"

"Since two years ago, Aunt Yan." Yuan Hao then explained everything to Shangguan Yan. "I’m ready to get married now, so I want to marry Miyuan as soon as possible."

Shangguan Yan still found it hard to believe that her daughter had already chosen a future husband, and she even considered matchmaking her with Zhang Xiaolong. "Unfortunately, Miyuan and Han’er are in the Xianjin Realm right now, so you have to wait for her to come back first."

"Isn’t that easy?" Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately opened the gate to the Xianjin Realm. "Let’s pick them up."
