Chapter 354 Meet Zhang Xiaoling
Liu Qingyu was the first to explain to the members of the moon fox race about their actions in capturing Pang Hong, which led them to obtain information about all the clans that decided to become vassals of the Pang Clan, and Zhang Lingxue supported her explanation, especially since she was the one who helped the Liu Sisters capture him.
In addition, Liu Qingyu informed them about the destruction of the Li and Mei clans, but she did not tell them that Zhang Fei did it. Rather, she conveyed to them that the demon fox group, under the leadership of Liu Hua and the Wen Twins, had decimated them, seizing control of the two clans, and she revealed the existence of the blood demon tree.
After that, Shen Xueyi represented the cultivators from the southern region to explain the situation in their region to the members of the moon fox race, including the destruction of the three clans and the first blood demon tree.
However, Hu Qiaomu and the others were shocked to hear the name of the Cai Clan, especially since they knew that the clan was an in-law of the Chang Clan, so they turned to Chang Liangjun, who immediately confirmed it. "Ancestor Wuhen and Patriarch Wentian already knew about it, and they agreed for Madam Shen and the others to destroy the Cai Clan."
Hu Qiaomu, Hu Lili, and the two old men nodded in understanding to Chang Liangjun, but they did not expect that Chang Wuhen and Chang Wentian would make such a decision. Despite this, they could understand Chang Wuhen and Chang Wentian's decision, particularly considering their own willingness to act similarly if any of their clan members were to betray them.
Lian Xiang then explained to them the situation in the eastern region based on Zhang Fei's information, which included details about Pang Gui, the destruction of the clans that chose to side with the Pang Clan, and the third blood demon tree.
Luo Yigang and Dong Fuxiang were really shocked to hear Lian Xiang's explanation, especially since they only knew about the destruction of the Huan Clan, but they didn't know anything about the destruction of the Qiao clan and the others. However, they decided to save their questions for now, and they intended to ask him after they returned to their region.
"Unfortunately, we haven't managed to find the fourth blood demon tree, especially since we haven't gotten any information about where Pang De hid the tree, so we still have to be very careful about that." Yang Wudie spoke to the Moon Fox Race members. "Moreover, their overall strength is greater than the combined strength of all of our forces, so we decided to come here to meet you all.
I know you don't want to interfere with outside affairs, but you must be aware that your race will also bear the consequences if those heretics succeed in taking over our realm, let alone if they succeed in bringing those demons back to this realm, so I hope you are willing to cooperate with us."

Feng Xiaogang joined in to speak to them, but he did it through voice transmission, especially since that was one of their clan's secrets and few people knew about it. 'You guys should know the identity of the matriarch of my Feng clan, right? Even though your race is a race of divine beasts, Feng Yao is a fire phoenix, and a phoenix is a mythical beast, so her bloodline is much higher than yours.'
Unlike Hu Lili, Hu Qiaomu and the two old men immediately turned to Feng Xiaogang while frowning, but they did not deny that their bloodline was indeed inferior to a mythical beast like Feng Yao, and they had no choice but to respect her, especially since she was powerful and could suppress them easily.
Feng Xiaogang smiled slightly at their reaction, then spoke to them again. 'Feng Yao fully supports their plan, and Hu Gao should already know about these matters, so you can discuss with him to make a decision.'
Hearing that, Hu Qiaomu and the two old men turned to Hu Lili, who immediately nodded at them. "Yang Yudie is right about the consequences, and we won't be able to stay in our sub-realm forever, especially since we still need a lot of things from this place. That's why I believe joining them is the best option for us.
However, one of you should first consult with Hu Gao about this matter, given his position as our leader. If that happens, our race's future is at stake, so I'm sure he'll agree with them."
After that, Hu Qiaomu immediately contacted Hu Gao to ask for his approval, and his answer was within Hu Lili's expectations, as he immediately agreed without thinking twice.
Hu Qiaomu immediately nodded to Yang Yudie and the others. "Our leader has agreed with that, so we will join you guys, and he asked us to discuss further regarding our respective duties."
"In that case, I invite all of you to go to the Zhang Clan, where we can talk more freely." They all immediately agreed with Yang Yudie's idea, so they hurriedly went to the clan residence, and Zhang Fei also went with them.

Before long, they had arrived at the Zhang Clan, but Zhang Fei did not join in their discussion, so he decided to look around the clan residence.
However, Zhang Fei suddenly heard the sound of a flute in an area, so he immediately rushed to that area, where he saw Zhang Xiaoling seriously playing her flute. He did not disturb her and sat down on an empty bench, and he listened to her flute playing from a distance. 'So she is Zi'er's daughter, huh? Scan her, Mei.'

'Oh?' Zhang Fei was surprised after he saw Zhang Xiaoling's cultivation. 'She was much younger than Qingyu and Hua'er, but her cultivation was on par with theirs.
[Master, the quality and quantity of qi in this region are much better than the other four regions. Moreover, the Zhang Clan is much stronger than the other clans, and they definitely have much better resources, so it is natural that she already has a high cultivation despite her young age.]
Zhang Fei nodded in agreement with Mei. 'Although she is not inheriting her mother's special physique, she is still alluring, and her purple eyes are also really pretty.'
[Hehe! Are you interested in that woman, Master? In that case, you can try to approach her, and her high cultivation will be enough to help you.]
Zhang Fei's lips twitched at Mei's words, especially since the AI kept motivating him to increase the number of members in his harem. Even so, he did not deny that Zhang Xiaolong's beauty attracted his interest, but he had not yet thought of approaching her.
After some time, Zhang Xiaoling had already stopped playing her flute, but she was surprised when Zhang Fei clapped his hands from a distance. She immediately turned to him, but she was momentarily stunned by his attractive looks. However, she quickly regained her composure, and she questioned him with a frown. "Who are you? How did you enter my clan?"
"My name is Zhang Fei, and I am Lingxue's husband." Zhang Xiaoling was taken aback to learn that the man in front of her was her aunt's husband, and Zhang Fei immediately approached her. "Your flute playing is really melodious, and I can feel peace when I listen to it, Xiaoling."
Zhang Xiaoling was not surprised that Zhang Fei knew her name, and she thought that it was Zhang Lingxue who told her, and she then asked him. "Do you really like my flute playing?"
Zhang Fei nodded to Zhang Xiaoling. "Not only is your flute playing melodiously, but you also have a beautiful smile."
"Humph!" Zhang Xiaoling snorted at Zhang Fei. "I heard from my aunt that you have many wives, and I am not interested in such a man, so you better not think anything of me."
"Haha ." Zhang Fei laughed while shaking his head. "I was just praising you based on the facts, and I don't have any such thoughts for you either."
"That's good! I'll castrate you right away if you dare to have such thoughts for me." Zhang Fei smiled strangely as he heard Zhang Xiaoling's threat. "Anyway, why did you suddenly come to this clan? Did you come with Aunt Lingxue?"
"Yes ." Zhang Fei replied with a nod. "Actually, we didn't come alone; we came together with many other cultivators, and they were having a discussion in the main hall. Since I was still too young, I was too lazy to join them, so I chose to look around this clan. After that, I accidentally heard you playing the flute, so I came here to listen to you."
"Oh?" Zhang Xiaoling was surprised to hear that, and she used her senses to check the main hall, where she found her family was having a serious discussion with many people. "Do you want to listen to my flute playing again?"
"I really enjoyed your flute playing, so I still want to listen to it." Zhang Fei nodded without hesitation and sat down on the chair beside Zhang Xiaoling. "Moreover, we will return to the western region after they finish their discussion, and I don't know when I can come to this clan again, so I don't want to waste the opportunity to hear you play the flute."
"All right, I'll play a few songs, so you have to listen carefully." After she said that, Zhang Xiaoling immediately started playing her flute again, and Zhang Fei continued to listen to her with his eyes closed as he repeatedly patted his legs.
Zhang Xiaoling herself repeatedly glanced at Zhang Fei, and she was truly delighted to see her enjoying her flute playing so much, so she tried to give her best performance.
After she played a few songs, Zhang Xiaoling decided to stop playing her flute and sat down beside Zhang Fei. "All this time, only my family members have ever heard me play the flute, so you are the first outsider to hear it."
Zhang Fei was not surprised that Zhang Xiaoling still regarded him as an outsider, especially since this was their first meeting, and they still didn't know each other well.
However, Zhang Xiaoling immediately realized her mistake, and she immediately spoke to Zhang Fei. "Oh! I was wrong! I shouldn't have thought of you as an outsider, especially since you have become Aunt Lingxue's husband, so you are also my family now, and I should have addressed you as Uncle Fei instead."
"Ha ha ha ha!" Zhang Fei laughed out loud upon hearing that. "Xiaoling, I am indeed your aunt's husband, but in fact, I am much younger than you, so it would be better if you called me by my name."
"Eh?" Zhang Xiaoling turned to Zhang Fei in surprise, especially since she thought that he should be the same age as Zhang Lingxue. "How old are you now?"
"I'll be 20 years old in a few days." Zhang Xiaoling's eyes widened instantly, and her jaw dropped open. She was completely shocked to learn that Zhang Fei was much younger than her, but Zhang Lingxue chose him as her husband. "Didn't your aunt tell you all about the beginning of our meeting?"
Zhang Fei's question brought Zhang Xiaoling back to her senses, and she nodded at him. "Aunt Lingxue did tell us about you, but she never told us that you were so young, and it makes me feel weird now, especially since you're almost half my age."
"Age is just a number for us cultivators, you know? After all, we can live very long as our cultivation improves, so I never thought about the age difference between us." Zhang Xiaoling nodded in agreement with Zhang Fei's words, but she still felt strange about his relationship with Zhang Lingxue. "Moreover, wine gets sweeter as it ages, and your aunt is too attractive for a woman of her age."
Zhang Xiaoling shook her head after hearing that, but she had to admit that Zhang Lingxue was indeed beautiful, especially after she received the fire phoenix bloodline from Feng Yao. "Anyway, I heard from my aunt that you came from another realm, and you were also able to subdue a divine beast while your cultivation was still in the elementary realm. Is all that true?"
"Yes." Zhang Fei immediately summoned the dragon serpent out of the beast space, which surprised Zhang Xiaoling, and she felt a little scared by the aura radiating from her body. "Her name is Boitata, and I met her at the same time I met Lingxue."
"She-"
Before Zhang Xiaoling could speak, Boitata suddenly asked Zhang Fei as she glanced at her. "Are you thinking of taking this little girl as a member of your harem, husband?"
Boitata's question made Zhang Xiaoling feel embarrassed, especially since she had no interest in Zhang Fei, and he was Zhang Lingxue's husband, so she immediately stood up from her seat and distanced herself from them.
*Slap*
"Ouch!" Boitata screamed loudly as soon as Zhang Fei slapped her buttocks. "Why did you slap my butt so hard?"
Zhang Fei then pointed at Zhang Xiaoling as he spoke to Boitata. "See that? You should stop asking such a thing when I'm with other women, especially since not all women have an interest in me, and Xiaoling is one of them. Anyway, she is Lingxue's niece, so she is our family, and you shouldn't scare her."
