Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Ren Xiyi, who was walking beside Zhang Xiaolong [3], could only rub her forehead, especially since Ren Shuo kept showing off his new appearance to the members of the dwarf race and the other races.

Those people immediately turned their gazes to Zhang Xiaolong [3] because Ren Shuo's change coincided with his visit, and they believed that he was the one who had changed the appearance of the male dwarf.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] just smiled at the people and let them think whatever they liked, but Ren Xiyi suddenly tugged the hem of his sleeve. "Hmm? What's wrong?"

'Can you change my body too?' Zhang Xiaolong [3] looked at Ren Xiyi's chest, forcing her to cross her arms in front of her chest. 'You know what I mean, right?'

Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded at her. 'Why do you wish to enlarge your chest size? You are beautiful, and your body is well-proportioned to your chest size, so such a change is unnecessary.'

'Ugh!' Ren Xiyi made an annoyed expression before explaining it to him. 'My generation, both men and women, always mocks my chest like a washboard! I want you to enlarge my chest size so they won't mock me anymore.'

Zhang Xiaolong [3] smiled in amusement upon hearing that. 'Let me guess, you want to do it because the man you like doesn't like your chest, and you want me to enlarge it to please him.'

'Are you a fortune teller? Why did you guess like that?'

'Ha ha! No need to be a fortune teller to guess it, okay? Believe it or not, my experience with women surpasses that of any other man in this realm. You might be able to hide it from other people, but your expression says that you like a guy, and he doesn't like you because of the size of your chest.' Ren Xiyi looked at Zhang Xiaolong [3] with suspicion and curiosity. 'To tell you the truth, I have numerous women by my side, and one of them has a chest the size of yours.'

Ren Xiyi was momentarily stunned by that. 'Are you serious? Do you really have that many women?'

'More than a hundred, to be exact.' Ren Xinyi stumbled upon hearing that, but Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately grabbed her hand. 'I'm a dual cultivator, and I'm probably the most lustful man in the universe.'

Ren Xiyi immediately bombarded him with questions. 'Where did you find so many women? How did you seduce them? Why are they willing to share you with each other?'

'I am naturally handsome, suave, and charming. So it's natural that they are willing to be my woman, right?'

'Narcissistic!' Ran Xiyi shouted in a high voice full of annoyance.

'Haha!' Zhang Xiaolong [3] laughed at Ren Xiyi. 'Hey, you don't need to think about such a thing, and you should learn from your parents. Your father may not be handsome, but he was able to win your mother's heart. Your mother is beautiful, but she isn't concerned about your father's appearance, and she is willing to accept him as he is.'

'But—'

'Listen to me.' Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately interrupted Ren Xiyi. 'If a man wants a woman to be perfect according to his wishes, he actually feels insecure about himself, so he demands that others must be perfect to his taste. Maybe his thing is too small, his thing is too weak to get hard, or it could be for other reasons.'

Ren Xiyi blushed when she heard that. 'Is that true?'

'Yes.' Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded at her. 'You must always remember that no living creature is perfect, and everyone has their own advantages and disadvantages, including me. We don't live for other people, but we live for ourselves and the people who love and appreciate us, especially since they are the ones who will be by our side when we are in trouble. If he mocks you and asks for such a thing from you, then he doesn't deserve you. Therefore, you should stay away from him, and I believe you will meet another man who is willing to accept you for who you are, just like your mother accepted your father.'

Ren Xiyi lowered her head and thought about Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s words, but a woman suddenly called out to her from a distance. "Hey! Xiyi! Come over and play with us!"

They immediately turned their heads in that direction, where a green-haired elf woman was standing with another female elf. However, Zhang Xiaolong [3] frowned as he sensed hostility from one of the two men behind them. 'Is that male elf the one you like?'

'His name is Qian Li, and he is one of the best of the elf race.' Ren Xiyi then answered the woman. "I can't join you, Qian Shuang. I have to accompany Zhang Xiaolong [3] and my father to meet our leader."

"Hey! Where did you find that handsome fox? You should introduce him to us!" Qian Shuang was still shouting from a distance.

Ren Xiyi turned to Zhang Xiaolong [3], who immediately shook his head at her. Despite this, he still activated his enhanced demon charm, targeting Qian Shuang, which caused her heartbeat to quicken.

"He has business with our leader right now, so he doesn't have time for you." Ren Xiyi then grabbed Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s hand before grabbing her father's hand, and she dragged them towards Jia Yuyan's residence.

Qian Shuang remained motionless, gazing at Zhang Xiaolong [3] from behind while clutching her chest. Her heart couldn't stop pounding, and she was so eager to catch up with him. 'What happened to me? Why are my feelings like this? Did I fall in love at first sight?'

"Hey! Shuang!" Another female elf called out to Qian Shuang as she waved her hand in front of her face. "What happened to you? Why do you keep staring at that male fox?"

Qian Shuang shook her head vigorously. "I'm fine, Qian Bing. Since Xiyi is accompanying her father and that fox man, we don't need to bother her anymore, and we'll leave without her."

"Yeah." Qian Bing then looked back. "Let's go now, brothers! If we're late, we'll lose the bet to Shu Yao and the others, so we have to move now."

After she said that, Qian Bing immediately pulled Qin Shuang away with her, followed by the two elven men. However, Qian Li kept turning toward Zhang Xiaolong [3] and the others leaving, and his eyes looked vicious.

"Are you thinking about that male fox?"

Qian Li immediately turned to ask. "Who exactly is that male fox, Brother Zhanji? Where did he come from? How did he get close to Ren Xiyi and her family?"

"According to our father, his name is Zhang Xiaolong [3]. He stated that he came from the Xianjin Realm, and he arrived in our realm more than a week ago. He was the fastest to finish all the entrance tests, completing them in just eight days." Qian Li turned to Qian Zhanji with a look of disbelief. "Our leader watched him take all the tests from start to finish, so it couldn't be wrong. Actually, he managed to complete the other tests in a day, but he spent a week on the Dao test. I don't know how he got close to Ren Xiyi's family, but Uncle Ren seems to know him very well."

"Hmm?" Qian Li clenched his fists tightly. 'Tch! Xiyi is mine! I won't hand her over to anyone!'

Qian Zhanji sighed inwardly and gently tapped his shoulder. "I know you like Xiyi, but you should be able to see that she doesn't have such a relationship with him. In my eyes, their relationship is nothing more than acquaintances, so you control your jealousy and don't look for trouble with him."

Qian Li said nothing and quickened his pace, catching up with the two female elves in front of them.

'I hope nothing bad will happen between them.' Qian Zhanji immediately quickened his pace.

Meanwhile, Zhang Xiaolong [3] and the others had arrived in front of a fairly large leaf hut, and Ren Shuo immediately led them inside, where Jia Yuyan and many other people were already waiting for them.

"Hey! How could your appearance transform like this last night?" A male elf asked Ren Shuo, who hurriedly sat down in an empty chair.

"Hahaha." Ren Shuo laughed at that, and he showed a pill to the male elf, which Zhang Xiaolong [3] had deliberately given him to cover up his actions. "You guys already know that this kid is an alchemist, right, Qian Chaoying? This pill is the result of his concoction, and its effects are, as you can see now. However, the effects are not permanent, and I will revert back to my old self after a day."

"Is that so?" Qian Chaoying skeptically asked.

"Give me the pill, Old Ren."

Ren Shuo immediately threw the pill to a tiny old man, who was as tiny as him. "You will feel the effects immediately after you swallow it, Old Zhu Ru."

"All right." Zhu Ru hurriedly swallowed the pill.

Qian Chaoying and several others were intently observing Zhu Ru, eager to personally experience the miraculous effects of Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s pill.

Unlike them, Jia Yuyan remained unfazed by Zhang Xiaolong's trick, confident that he had employed some other method to transform Ren Shuo. 'What did you use on Old Ren?'

'You're really smart, eh?' Zhang Xiaolong [3] replied with a playful smile on his face. 'I used something else on him, but I won't explain the details to you.' "By the way, I came here to ask you a few questions, mainly about how you know so much about my predecessor."

"What do you want to ask me?" Jia Yuyan asked with a casual smile.

"How did you know about the condition?" Jia Yuyan wanted to answer Zhang Xiaolong [3], but he immediately warned her. "You must not lie to me, especially since I can tell whether you are telling the truth or not. If you lie to me, I will never come here again, and we will not have any relationship after this."

Qian Chaoying and the others turned and frowned at Zhang Xiaolong [3], but he immediately activated the soul link and released the aura of his borrowed powers, causing all of them to feel suffocated by his pressure, except for Jia Yuyan. 'What the hell is with this kid? How can he suppress us with his cultivation still at the 1-Moon Divine Transcend Realm?'

Ren Xiyi, who was standing behind her father, stared at Zhang Xiaolong [3] in amazement. 'He is truly powerful despite his low cultivation!'

"Haha." Ren Shuo chuckled at their frustration under Zhang Xiaolong's pressure. "That's enough, Kid. We are friends here, so there is no need for such behavior; we can converse as if we were family."

"They are your family, but they are not my family. I don't want to cause trouble here, and I only want to make my stand clear on this matter. I dislike being lied to and used, so if you want a relationship with me, be honest; otherwise, you can forget it." Jia Yuyan let out a soft sigh and dispelled Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s pressure instantly, allowing Qian Chaoying and the others to breathe freely again. "As expected, you used something to disguise your true strength, just like Feng Yao back then. You have deceived everyone in this realm, and you came from the Paradise Realm."

"Previously, I didn't have clear information about your true strength, especially since you disappeared for more than two years. I was too careless in stopping you when you first arrived in this realm and telling you all that, which made you realize my identity." Zhang Xiaolong [3] didn't say anything in response to Jia Yuyan, and he waited for her to say everything. "You are right, I do come from the Paradise Realm, and my real name is really Jia Yuyan."

"Which domain?"

Jia Yuyan immediately answered him. "The Floral Mirage Domain is the home of natural races, which is still in the same area as the Dragon-Soaring Divine Dragon Domain. Our leader asked me to go down to the Three Mortal Realms to look for you and do some other things, but those things have nothing to do with you."

"How did you know about that condition?"

"Shouldn't you already know the answer?" Zhang Xiaolong [3] raised an eyebrow for a moment before nodding to Jia Yuyan. "One of them is in my domain, and he told us that you would appear in this realm. That's why my leader sent me here, and I've been following your movements ever since you met Zefyr in the Sky Jade Realm."

"Hmm?" Zhang Xiaolong [3] frowned, as he didn't expect that Jia Yuyan had already followed him for so long. The first time he met Zefyr was three years ago, and his cultivation had only broken through to the Core Realm at that time. "Is she—"

"No." Jia Yuyan denied the question before he could ask it. "Zefyr doesn't know anything about this matter, and I knew that you would appear in that realm because one of them was there. I sent something to monitor the Sky Jade Realm as soon as I arrived here several thousand years ago, and the results were as expected since you went there after starting your cultivation path."

Jia Yuyan's revelation greatly shocked Zhang Xiaolong [3]. 'How strong was the old fox when he was alive? I know he's a primordial beast, but his ability to predict all those things over such a long period of time is truly frightening! If he was really that strong, he shouldn't have had to commit suicide by splitting himself into two heavenly foxes, and he should have been able to defeat those two primordial beasts.'

"Here." Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately caught a stone tablet that Jia Yuyan threw at him. "You just need to inject your qi into the tablet, and all the information inside will be directly transferred into your mind, so you won't doubt me anymore."

Zhang Xiaolong [3] hurriedly did so, and a white light shot into his forehead from the tablet. Suddenly, a plethora of information filled his mind, including details about the soul of a ten-tailed fox residing in the Floral Mirage Domain.

'Please record and organize everything for backup, Mei.' Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately closed his eyes and read all the information, making Ren Shuo and the others curious about it.

They looked at Jia Yuyan curiously, but she refused to tell them. "My leader prepared everything specifically for him, and I have no knowledge of the information within."

'A liar!' Zhu Ru and the others shouted in their hearts.

Before long, Zhang Xiaolong [3] had already opened his eyes and asked Jia Yuyan directly. "Why did your leader go all this way? What is his hidden intention? I don't believe that he did everything just because of that person, and I'm sure he had other plans for me."

"Phew." Jia Yuyan let out a soft sigh, stood up, and walked in front of Zhang Xiaolong [3]. "Here I am their leader, but my status is only ordinary in my domain, and I only carry out the tasks that my leader has entrusted to me. Therefore, I don't know whether he has other intentions toward you or not, and you will have to find out everything yourself when you ascend to the Paradise Realm. Additionally, one of them is located in my domain, so you will need to visit there to obtain it, correct?"

Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded at her. "Since it's there, I have to go to your domain to get it. Moreover, I have an appointment with Long Wuzhao, and since both of your domains are in the same area, I'll visit him then."

"Eh?" Jia Yuyan was shocked to hear that. "How did you know the Golden Dragon Emperor? Did you know him through Feng Yao?"

"I met his avatar in one of the planets in the upper realms." Jia Yuyan immediately searched her memories for several possible realms, and she then nodded to Zhang Xiaolong [3]. "I need unlimited cultivation resources, so I need your help to open a shop in this realm. If I open it myself, Leng Hua or even Cao Ren will attack me, and I don't want to take that risk. In return, I will give some pills to some members of your races, and you should no longer have any doubts about the effects of my pills, right?"
