Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1270: Wailing Soul Forest

"So, what’s your plan to solve this problem?"

Zhang Fei informed Nalan Shizhe and Nalan Wangzi about his plans for the Celestial Demon Race, which caused both of them to stare at him in shock. "Please summon a male demon with a cultivation level equivalent to hers."

"Are you—"

Zhang Fei nodded to Nalan Wangzi. "As long as we use a member of your demon race, I am confident that Mo Shentian will not notice, since all of you have very similar auras, with the exception of my mother-in-law. To make the disguise more perfect, I will implant most of your memories in him to avoid their suspicions."

"How do you do that? As far as I remember, a lust demon can’t manipulate other people’s memories." Nalan Shizhe spoke skeptically.

"Haha." Zhang Fei softly laughed. "Mother-in-law, have you ever met someone with three identities like me?"

"Never." Nalan Shizhe contacted a member of their race. "He’ll be here soon."

Soon, a male soul-devouring demon came to them, and Mei informed Zhang Fei that his strength and aura were indeed similar to Nalan Wangzi.

"Qinghe, I need you to help us with something." Nalan Qinghe seriously listened to Nalan Shizhe’s explanation before turning to Zhang Fei in shock. "Are you willing to accept this task?"

"I will accept the task, Demon God."

"Good!" Nalan Shizhe moved in front of Nalan Qinghe and sealed his cultivation so Zhang Fei could carry out his plans. "You can do it now."

"Alright." Zhang Fei stood in front of Nalan Qinghe, touched his chest, and used his body modification ability on him.

Nalan Qinghe experienced excruciating pain as his body began to undergo transformation, but he didn’t comment or complain about it, and he endured the pain until he transformed into Nalan Wangzi.

Nalan Shizhe observed Nalan Qinghe, and she nodded in satisfaction because his appearance and aura completely matched her first daughter’s, reassuring her that Mo Shentian and the people of the Celestial Demon Race would never know that he was actually a male demon.

"Wangzi, stand by his side, and I’ll copy your memories before implanting them in him." Nalan Shizhe sighed inwardly, knowing that her first daughter had also fallen for Zhang Fei.

Nalan Wangzi walked to Nalan Qinghe’s side, but Nalan Huanzi suddenly walked in. "Huh? How can you split into two people, sister? Who is this female demon? Why have I never seen her before in our race?"

"I didn’t split in two." Nalan Wangzi pointed at Nalan Qinghe. "He is Qinghe, and Zhang Fei transformed him into me."

Nalan Wangzi’s answer made Nalan Huanzi stunned for a moment before looking at Zhang Fei, who immediately returned to his transcendent lust demon form. "You are a cheater, brother-in-law. Your ability to transform into other demon races is impressive, making it difficult for me to recognize you. So, what happened here? Why did you transform Qinghe into my sister?"

"Mo Taizi came here earlier, and he forced your sister to marry him." Mo Huanzi furrowed his brows in response to Nalan Shizhe. "Mo Shentian is getting more and more impatient, and he asked Taizi to force us to hand her over to him."

Nalan Huanzi nodded slightly. "So, you’re going to use Qinghe as a substitute for my sister? Won’t Mo Shentian and the others notice his disguise?"

"Don’t worry, no one will recognize him." Zhang Fei grabbed the heads of Nalan Qinghe and Nalan Wangzi before using his memory manipulation to copy his sister-in-law’s memories into the male demon’s mind, but he didn’t copy everything, especially her memories regarding his training space and the people around him.

Nalan Shizhe and Nalan Huanzi did not say anything, waiting for Zhang Fei to complete his plans for Nalan Qinghe and Nalan Wangzi.

A while later, Zhang Fei had copied Nalan Wangzi’s memories and implanted them into Nalan Qinghe’s mind. However, he had another idea, and he used his other demon abilities to implant something into the male demon’s body. "It’s done."

"Hmm?" Nalan Shizhe and Nalan Huanzi watched Nalan Qinghe for a while before asking him many questions, especially regarding Nalan Wangzi.

Nalan Qinghe immediately answered their questions according to Nalan Wangzi’s memories, which convinced Nalan Shizhe and Nalan Huanzi that Mo Shentian wouldn’t notice his disguise. "Leave first, Qinghe. I’ll summon you when Mo Taizi comes here again, and you’ll take my daughter’s place then."

"Yes, Demon God."

After Nalan Qinghe left, Nalan Shizhe immediately asked Zhang Fei. "Did you do something to Qi Qingxiu? The last time I met her, she seemed angry when she talked about you."

"Haha." Zhang Fei laughed while rubbing his nose. "I already used my dream abilities on Qi Qingxiu when I brought her to the Starry Sky Realm, and we spent quite a lot of time there together."

After Zhang Fei said that, Nalan Shizhe, Nalan Wangzi, and Nalan Huanzi stared at him with incredulous looks. Unlike him, the three of them were familiar with Qi Qingxiu’s character and abilities, including her ability to control the seven emotions that made Mo Shentian and Shang Zhanluo fear her.

Zhang Fei shrugged his shoulders. "Naturally, I used my dream abilities when Qi Qingxiu wasn’t aware of it; otherwise, she would have killed me. Her strength and ability to control the seven emotions are indeed terrifying, but I no longer need to fear her because I can send her subconsciously into a dream whenever I want, so she will never be able to attack me."

"Hahaha!" Nalan Wangzi laughed out loud after hearing that. "You are truly a shameless and bold lust demon, brother-in-law! There have never been any male demons who dared to do such a thing to Qi Qingxiu in the past, and all of them immediately fled as soon as she showed her anger."

Nalan Shizhe nodded in agreement with her first daughter before speaking. "Even Qiongqi didn’t dare to force Qi Qingxiu, even though he had been infatuated with her for a long time. In fact, she beat that evil beast to a pulp in the past, and he didn’t dare come to her again since then. If he knew you had done something to her, he would definitely come to you to attack you."

"Sooner or later I will face the four perils, especially Taotie. Therefore, I have no problem if Qiongqi comes to me, but I’m sure he won’t do so anytime soon, especially since no one will ever know that I’ve used my abilities on Qi Qingxiu." Zhang Fei then opened the portal to the training space, and Nalan Yushu hurriedly walked out of it.

"Mother!" Nalan Yushu immediately hugged Nalan Shizhe, making her smile. "Hehehe! I miss you, mother."

"I miss you too, Yushu." Nalan Shizhe hugged her second daughter back. "Since you’re here, you should stay here for a few days to accompany me, okay?"

Nalan Yushu nodded slightly before releasing Nalan Shizhe from her embrace. "It’s been a long time since I returned to our domain, so I’ll stay here for a few days, and I want to cultivate in the Wailing Soul Forest."

"What is the Wailing Soul Forest?" Zhang Fei asked.

Nalan Shizhe immediately explained the details of the Wailing Soul Forest to Zhang Fei. "The most precious item in that place is the Phantom Soul Lotus, and it will strengthen our souls if we consume it. However, the lotus is filled with hatred and resentment from those evil souls, which will affect us if we don’t cleanse them first. Unlike other races, we don’t need to cleanse them, and we can devour them directly. The rarest is the Nine-Petal Phantom Soul Lotus, which blooms once every thousand years."

"Oh?" Zhang Fei’s eyes lit up upon hearing that. "Is the Nine-Petal Phantom Soul Lotus available now?"

Nalan Shizhe shook her head at Zhang Fei. "I don’t know if it’s available now, and we should go there to check first. Even if it is available, you won’t be able to pick it directly, especially since a Soul Wraith Lord always guards it. Therefore, you have to defeat it first to be able to pick the lotus, and its strength is equivalent to the Blood Tree King in the Blood Forest of the Slaughter Blood Domain."

"Sigh." Zhang Fei released a heavy sigh after hearing that. "Wangzi and I had previously visited the Blood Forest, and that Blood Tree King attacked us. Luckily, it couldn’t move on its own, so we were able to escape from it."

"Hmm?" Nalan Shizhe frowned after hearing that, and she turned to Nalan Wangzi, who immediately explained the situation. "You both were reckless for challenging the Blood Tree King, and you were fortunate to escape from it. Unlike that tree, the Soul Wraith Lord can move freely, and it can summon all the souls within this domain, so you should reconsider seeking the Nine-Petal Phantom Soul Lotus."

"Can you help my husband to get the Nine-Petal Phantom Soul Lotus, mother?" Nalan Yushu asked.

"I can’t be sure because the Soul Wraith Lord was born at the same time as the Nine-Petal Phantom Soul Lotus, and their powers differ each time they appear, so we’ll have to go check out the Wailing Soul Forest first to be certain." Nalan Shizhe then led them out of her mansion. "Let’s go there now, and we will check whether the lotus is available or not."

After they exited the Soul Abyss, Zhang Fei immediately enveloped them with his aura and brought them to the Wailing Soul Forest using his nine cloud steps.
