After he left Ji Changlan's shop, Zhang Xiaolong [3] strolled around the trading area to observe the situation in that area, especially the habits of the realm's residents. Unfortunately, the area was not as crowded as usual, especially after Zhe Wuming declared an ergency situation in the realm.
As for the Xiong Clan's shop, it was closed because Zhe Wuming had sealed the shop, but he didn't do anything to the goods inside.
Zhang Xiaolong [3] wanted to go to the area where all the restaurants gathered, but he t Wang Yourou, who was deliberately looking for him. "What are you doing here?"
"Didn't you already know my reason?" Wang Yourou turned the question around.
Zhang Xiaolong [3] shook his head in response. "I don't have ti for you now, so you can co back in a few days."
"Humph." Wang Yourou snorted softly. "Where are you going now?"
"I want to look around the restaurant area to confirm sothing." Zhang Xiaolong [3] nonchalantly replied to her.
"I will accompany you there." Zhang Xiaolong [3] raised an eyebrow at Wang Yourou. "I'm hungry, so I want to go there."
Zhang Xiaolong [3] then put on a playful smile and leaned closer to Wang Yourou. "Tell , have you fallen in love with ?"
"No!" Wang Yourou exclaid and imdiately ran away. "Let's go! I'm really hungry!"
'This woman!' Zhang Xiaolong [3] imdiately followed her.
.

Later, they reached the restaurant area, but many were closed because the owners hid in their respective clans. Wang Yourou bought many snacks there, making Zhang Xiaolong [3] feel amused by her behavior, especially since she acted like a child while enjoying them.
"Do you want so?" Wang Yourou asked, handing him so snacks.
"You can enjoy them yourself." Zhang Xiaolong [3] refused her, and he then looked towards an abandoned building on one side. "Do you know the owner of that building?"
"Hmm?" Wang Yourou turned towards the building Zhang Xiaolong [3] was referring to. "If I'm not mistaken, the owner of that building is the Ying Clan. Back then, they had a restaurant, but they closed it after their head chef died. Since then, no one has used the building again, and it remains abandoned to this day. Are you planning to open a restaurant in this realm?"
"Yeah." Zhang Xiaolong [3] replied with a light nod. "My grandmother's dishes are the best, and diners consistently fill all my restaurants in several realms. Since I need many jewels, I want to open a restaurant in this realm, and I will bring the main chef of my restaurant here."
"Do you have samples of the dishes?" Wang Yourou curiously asked.
"Hehe." Zhang Xiaolong [3] chuckled and pinched her cheeks, but Wang Yourou imdiately swatted his hand away. "You're such a glutton, you know that? You're holding a lot of snacks, but you're still thinking about other food."
Wang Yourou pouted her lips in response, making Zhang Xiaolong [3] itch to kiss her. "I've liked food, and I'm always interested in trying new foods. Moreover, we are cultivators, and we can burn all the fat in our bodies, so I don't have to worry about getting fat."
"I don't have samples of them, but I can ask my grandmother to prepare them." Wang Yourou's eyes sparkled like stars after Zhang Xiaolong [3] said that, making him sigh softly. He imdiately contacted his grandmother and asked her to cook so dishes. "She's preparing them now, and you can taste them later."
"Haha." Wang Yourou softly laughed before asking. "Are you interested in buying that building? If you want that building, I will accompany you to the Ying Clan, and you can negotiate the price yourself."
"Sure." Zhang Xiaolong [3] imdiately agreed with that, so Wang Yourou right away led him to leave the restaurant area.
Suddenly, Zhang Xiaolong [3] sensed a cold and hostile gaze toward him, and he imdiately opened the map to check. He wasn't too surprised to find its owner, especially since Feng Jiu had already told him about that person. 'Zhu Sanniang, the vermilion bird, huh? I don't know about the matter between her and the heavenly fox race, but I hope she doesn't bother .'
Unfortunately, Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s hope was in vain, especially since Zhu Shanniang suddenly appeared in front of them.
Zhu Shanniang was a beautiful woman, with long red hair adorning her head. Her facial features were soft yet striking, with red eyes that added a mysterious allure to her face. Her appearance was graceful in her red and gold clothes, which seed to be a mix of traditional and armor-like attire, with an ornant and gemstone around her chest area.
Zhu Shanniang possessed a curvaceous but well-proportioned figure, with a narrow waist, prominent bust, and graceful posture. Her body conveys both strength and feminine elegance.
Despite her high cultivation, Wang Yourou was still frightened by the hot and blazing aura emanating from Zhu Shanniang's body, and she imdiately hid behind Zhang Xiaolong [3]. 'Tch! The vermilion bird is much scarier than the phoenix.'
Unlike her, Zhang Xiaolong [3] was not the least bit daunted by Zhu Shanniang's aura; instead, he released his own aura and mixed it with his killing intent, causing her to frown. 'Scan her, i.'

Zhang Xiaolong [3] then asked her. "Why are you blocking our way, Senior?"
"Are you really a heavenly fox?" Zhu Shanniang asked as she released more of her aura to further intimidate Zhang Xiaolong [3].
However, Zhang Xiaolong [3] was still relaxed facing Zhu Shanniang, and he activated his demon eyes while disguising them so the woman in front of him would not notice that his eyes had turned blood red.
'What the hell is this? Why do I suddenly feel afraid of him?' Zhu Shanniang muttered as she trembled slightly.
Zhang Xiaolong [3] answered her right away. "I am indeed a heavenly fox, but I am not one of them, and I beca a heavenly fox for a certain reason."
"Do you think I'm a stupid woman you can lie to?" Zhu Shanniang narrowed her eyes at him.
"Heh." Zhang Xiaolong [3] snorted. "It's up to you whether you want to believe it or not, but I've told you the truth. In fact, Tian Baixing and Tian Baitian are my enemies, and I will kill them in the future."
Zhang Xiaolong [3] imdiately grabbed Wang Yourou's hand and teleported her once before using the Nine Cloud Steps to take her back to Cheng Gaoji's residence, leaving Zhu Shanniang dumbfounded behind.
*Boom*
Zhu Shanniang's aura exploded as soon as she ca back to her senses, but she was completely shocked by Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s speed. "How can his speed be so fast that my senses can't follow him? The heavenly fox can teleport, but none of them can disappear that fast, including Tian Baitian and Tian Baixing."
"Do you believe now?" Zhu Shanniang turned to Zhu Hong, who had just appeared by her side. "I already guessed that you would imdiately co to that kid once you felt his presence, so I asked Feng Jiu and Lin Jingxia about him before you arrived in this realm. He was originally an ordinary human, and he beca a heavenly fox because of an accident, but they didn't tell in detail."
"Is it possible for a human to turn into a heavenly fox?" Zhu Shanniang asked with an expression of disbelief.
Zhu Hong shook her head in response. "We are beasts transford into humans, but I have never t a human transford into a beast before. I believe that Feng Jiu and Lin Jingxia would never lie to , and they also told that Tian Baitian and Tian Baixing were hunting him. Moreover, you yourself should have realized that his movent technique just now is different from theirs, so he should not be one of them."
"What is the reason for Tian Baitian and Tian Baixing to hunt that kid?"
"Only they know about the matter." Zhu Shanniang imdiately followed behind Zhu Hong, who walked away. "Moreover, that kid has a favorable relationship with the senior cultivators in those towers, and those people ca from the realm beyond the upper realms. Therefore, you must not find trouble with him, or you will regret it yourself, and your actions will also bring disaster to our vermilion bird race."
"Are the people in the tower really that strong?"
"If you don't believe , you can go to one of the towers to challenge it, and you can witness their strength for yourself." Zhu Hong then asked Zhu Shanniang. "Tell , what exactly is your problem with the heavenly fox race? Why do you hate them so much? It's been five thousand years since you started to be hostile towards them, but you have never been willing to tell the real reason behind your hatred towards them."
"Nothing."
Zhu Hong frowned in response, but she chose not to ask further because Zhu Shanniang was simply too stubborn, especially regarding the heavenly fox race. "I have already warned you about that kid, so I will let you bear the risk if you insist on seeking trouble with him, and our Vermilion Bird race will never stand behind you in this matter."
"Why?" Zhu Hong instantly disappeared from Zhu Shanniang's sight. "Tch! I'm her cousin, but she prefers to defend that bastard heavenly fox."
.
.
.
"What exactly is your problem with Zhu Shanniang?" Wang Yourou asked as soon as they arrived at the room.
"I just t her today, so I can't possibly have a problem with her, right?" Zhang Xiaolong [3] imdiately sat cross-legged on the bed. "Empress Feng told that Zhu Shanniang has a grudge against the Heavenly Fox Race, but she doesn't know for sure about it, especially since the woman has never revealed the reason behind her hatred."
"Aren't you going to et the Ying Clan?"
"I would rather not see that woman again, and I want to stabilize my cultivation first, so we'll go to the Ying Clan in a few days." Zhang Xiaolong [3] suddenly got a ssage from Zhang Chen, so he imdiately disappeared from the room. A few monts later, he returned and brought three dishes with him, placing them on the table. "You can eat them as much as you like."
Wang Yourou imdiately sat down in front of the three dishes and sniffed their aroma, making her drool and her stomach growl. She imdiately tasted each dish, making her even hungrier. Without further delay, she voraciously ate the three dishes like soone who had not eaten for days.
'Tch! I've never t a woman as greedy as her when it cos to food.' Zhang Xiaolong [3] imdiately ignored Wang Yourou and contacted Shang Yui at the Alchemy Union, asking her about Huoyun Zhiyan and Sun Jianming's progress in concocting the Nine Revolutions Pills.
Unfortunately, Zhang Xiaolong [3] was disappointed because Shang Yui told him that the two old n still needed a few days to finish concocting the pill, especially since the pill was rank 5 with quite a bit of difficulty.
Zhang Xiaolong [3] then contacted Hong Xinxin, who imdiately inford him that she would arrive at the Nine Stars Realm in a week. After that, he closed his eyes and began to stabilize his cultivation, and the other clones also did the sa, or he would have to wait too long to break through to the 4-Star Heaven Realm.
After she finished all three dishes, Wang Yourou turned to Zhang Xiaolong [3] to ask for so more dishes, but she was disappointed because he was engrossed in his cultivation. 'Sigh! I will leave him now, but I will et him again to ask for more dishes.'

In the pavilion, Zhang Fei had just finished helping his little sister to increase her demon power, but Zhang Lin was not satisfied with that and asked him to have sex with her.
Since his cultivation was still unstable, Zhang Fei only had sex with Zhang Lin once, but he was shocked by a question from the system that suddenly appeared.
[Ding]
[Do you want to appoint Zhang Lin as your third wife?]
'Hmm? Why did this question only appear now?' Zhang Fei wondered in his heart, especially since Zhang Lin had been his wife for a long ti. Moreover, only Zhang Yue and Hu Yue had ever triggered the sa question before, and it happened on their first night.
[Master, it appears that the system has specific criteria for won deed worthy of being your wife. Back then, Zhang Lin was an ordinary human, but she has now beco an Abyssal Leviathan Dragon beast, and she is the only one of her race. anwhile, Zhang Yue already had the ice phoenix bloodline when she beca your wife, and Hu Yue also had the golden fox bloodline in her body.]
However, Zhang Fei felt that there was sothing strange about it. 'If you say so, Lingxue should have the qualifications, right? After all, she already had the fire phoenix bloodline when she beca my wife.'
[Master, Zhang Lingxue only got a few drops of Feng Yao's bloodline, and Zhang Yue got Feng Gongxue's complete bloodline. By the way, you should accept the system's offer.]
'Accept Zhang Lin as my third wife.'
[Ding]
[Zhang Lin has been appointed as the third wife.]
'Hmm? Nothing happened.'
[I don't know, Master.]
"Big brother, what are you thinking?" Zhang Lin suddenly asked.
"Nothing." Zhang Fei then hugged his little sister. "Let's rest first, and I will stabilize my cultivation."
"Uhm." Zhang Lin curled up in Zhang Fei's arms.
[Master, you haven't opened the three rewards yet.]
'Open them then.'
[You obtained 1 mysterious egg.]
[You obtained 1 Heaven-Earth Essence Bead.]
[You obtained 1 ancient map.]
'A mysterious egg? Show their details, i.'
[Mysterious Egg: This egg is ford from Yin and Yang, but no one knows the beast inside.]
[Heaven-Earth Essence Bead: This bead is ford naturally at the point of convergence of heaven and earth Qi, accelerating the owner's Qi absorption.]
[Ancient Map: According to legend, this map will lead its owner to a place where an ancient treasure is hidden. Location: Unknown.]
Zhang Fei inwardly sighed, especially since the system often gave him items without clear instructions. However, he felt that so of the items were related to each other.
Zhang Fei took the mysterious egg; it was gold and black in color with several ancient runes on the shell. Since it was a beast egg, he decided to send it into the beast space in hopes that it would hatch faster, and he asked Boitata to take care of it.
After that, Zhang Fei took the Heaven-Earth Essence Bead, but he had no clue how to use it. However, i asked him to swallow it and send it into his dantian, placing it between his elent cores.
Zhang Fei was skeptical about that, but he still tried to follow i's words and swallowed the bead straight away. When the bead reached his dantian, he sensed sothing unusual, and several threads of Qi erged from it before attaching to his six cores.
Zhang Fei then tried to absorb Qi from the air, and the results surprised him quite a bit because the bead helped him absorb Qi faster. Not only did the bead distribute Qi evenly throughout his body, but it also equally distributed it into his six cores. 'This bead is really good! This way, I don't need to manually divide the Qi I absorb into my six cores anymore, especially since it directly distributes it to them.'
Zhang Fei took the ancient map, but it was too worn to be difficult to read, so he returned it to the system's inventory. 'i, scan the map and reorder the images.'
[Yes, Master.]
