Chapter 274: Exit Seclusion

Words : 1743 Updated : Sep 29th, 2025

Three generations of women of the Shen Clan sat together in a cave and engaged in a serious conversation. Shen Xueyi shared her plans for Shen Haoran and his loyalists with her mother and grandmother. "So, what do you two think?" "I don't think it's a problem." Shen Huang replied with a nod. "They will definitely lower their guard on the day of Yu'er and Shen Tianyu's wedding, so I think it's the best opportunity for us to sort things out." "Since you have decided this, your grandmother and I will follow your plan, and we will return to our clan two days before their wedding." Shen Xinya then thought for a moment before speaking to her daughter again. "However, it would be better if you discussed this matter with Zhang Fei and Yu'er first, so that they can prepare themselves for that day." Shen Xueyi gave her mother a nod of approval. "They have been in seclusion for three weeks, and Zhang Fei said he will bring Yu'er back in a month. That's why we still have to wait another week for them to come out, and I will discuss this matter with them at that time." After that, Shen Xueyi immediately left the cave and used the returning jade to return to the Yin-Yang Pavilion, while Shen Huang asked her daughter. "Are you still thinking about Zhang Fei's offer to us?" "Mother-" "There's no need to lie to me." Shen Huang immediately interrupted Shen Xinya. "I am your mother, and the two of us have been living together in this cave for hundreds of years, so I understand you completely. Since we returned two weeks ago, you have difficulty concentrating because your aura repeatedly becomes chaotic, and I am certain that you are thinking about Zhang Fei's offer." "Haven't you yourself thought about Zhang Fei's offer, mother?" Shen Huang let out a soft sigh before nodding at Shen Xinya. "Every beast, including me, aspires to evolve into a divine beast, yet our cultivation has stagnated at this level for an extended period. Moreover, we have witnessed the effects of Zhang Fei's pills and yang qi for Yu'er, so I myself felt tempted to accept his offer. However, my mindset is stronger than yours, so I don't think about it continuously like you do. After all, he will soon marry Yu'er, so I suggest you forget about it and focus on your cultivation instead, or else you'll never break through the sovereign realm barrier." "Why do you care so much about their relationship, mother?" Shen Xinya inquired with a frown. "We are beasts, so we are different from humans, and our relationship has been irregular since the time of our ancestors. My father is your big brother, and Xueyi's father is my cousin. As for Wansan, he is Yu'er's father, but he is also her uncle. That's why I believe it doesn't matter if we dual-cultivate with Zhang Fei, as long as we can evolve into a divine beast and break through to the sovereign realm. However, we must first discuss this matter with her, and I believe she won't have any issues with it." Shen Huang did not respond to her daughter's words and immediately returned to her serpent form. She then closed her eyes and continued to cultivate, leaving Shen Xinya feeling disappointed by her mother's attitude. Shen Xinya did not speak further and returned to her serpent form before resuming her cultivation, but her mind was still filled with Zhang Fei's offer. She was eager to accept it, especially since her desire to evolve into a divine beast was much greater than that of her mother. . . . In the Yin-Yang Pavilion, a man appears frustrated in a prison, particularly with his hands and feet bound by chains, and he persistently yells threats. His cries disturb three women in another prison room, yet he receives no response. The man is none other than Du Ruhui, who recently woke up from his unusual state after two weeks. Besides, he also felt frustrated after he sensed that his cultivation had regressed by one level, just like what Shen Tianyu experienced. 'Damn it! What exactly happened to me? Why am I here?' Du Ruhui pondered in his heart, trying to recall his previous activities, but he only remembered sleeping in his room. *Tap... Tap...* Du Ruhui frowned as he saw the woman approaching in front of his prison room, but he immediately asked her. "What exactly happened to me, Xuenai? Why am I in this prison? Who brought me here?" "It was Elder Fengzhi and Elder Hao who brought you here." Han Xuenai replied, letting out a soft sigh. "Madam Xueyi already knew that your Du Clan is one of the vassals of the Pang Clan, so she ordered them to imprison you here, and the people from your clan are still unaware of this matter, especially since they threatened me not to tell your family. As for your previous situation, I myself do not know what happened to you, but you suddenly acted crazy and did depraved things." Du Ruhui's face turned pale after he heard that. "It must have been Zhang Fei who told them about it, right?" "Yes." Han Xuenai nodded to Du Ruhui. "Anyhow, I came here after hearing that you've woken up, but I won't be coming here again after today. I no longer have my freedom, so I can't do anything to help you, and you can only wait for their decision about you." After saying that, Han Xuenai took out Ba Xiu and Fei Xuan, who were in the prison on Lin Hao's orders, especially since he felt that he had punished them enough. Han Xuenai then ordered Ba Xiu and Fei Xuan not to talk about Du Ruhui outside, and she also asked them to find other partners, especially since she did not want them to end up like her becoming Zhang Fei's slaves. Zhang Fei eventually decided to focus on training with Liu Hua and the Wen Twins to hone his fighting skills. Not only that, he also kept practicing swordsmanship under Liu Qingyu's guidance, which made his fighting and sword skills more polished than before. Despite this, Zhang Fei never forgot his fundamentals as a dual-cultivator. He consistently engaged in dual-cultivation with all his women and slaves residing in the training space, resulting in a significant increase in their cultivation. In fact, his cultivation was already on the verge of reaching the 2-Star Soul Realm. Zhang Fei's relationship with the Wen Twins gradually became closer, and they became more open towards him. Although they were still not willing to dual-cultivate with him, they had become more intimate, and they repeatedly enjoyed his yang qi from the source directly. Zhang Fei also often returned to the Chu Clan to check on the progress of Zhang Chen, Qing Tan, Quan Xun, and Xu Ling'er. Furthermore, he consistently dual-cultivated with Li Qingyu, who gradually grew accustomed to doing it with him, and his presence gradually took over her husband's position in her heart without her knowledge. Zhang Fei was eager to eat Shen Yu, but he chose to wait until they got rid of Shen Haoran and his people, which wouldn't take long. Although Guo Lan had decided to accept him, she still couldn't fully accept his relationship, so she hadn't dual-cultivated with him. Zhang Fei did not forget his two servants who always lived in the portable mansion, so he also often met Shi Xi and Shi Wu, but he still hasn't decided whether to teach them to become cultivators. Since Chu Qing already had Jie Yuan the golden monkey as her contract beast, Zhang Fei decided to give the two Python-Tailed Tigresses to Chu Ying and Xu Ling'er to become their contract beasts, especially since the two beasts' elements suited them. As for Zhang Lin, who possesses the water element, he already has the perfect choice for her contract beast, but he must return to Earth due to the beast's hiding place deep in the Pacific Ocean. Since they were all busy with their training and dual cultivation, time flew by so fast, and another week had passed. Ultimately, Zhang Fei decided to end their seclusion, particularly due to their extended stay. Everyone left the training space except for Zhang Lingxu, who wanted to catch up with his other wives. === [Ding] [Daily Quest: Killing 220 Demons.] [Reward: 22,000 female essences.] === Zhang Fei did not send Qiao Ran and Mei Xiang back into his portable mansion, but he ordered the two women to help Liu Hua and the Wen Twins take care of the people from the demon fox group. Since he had not returned to Earth for a long time, Zhang Fei decided to bring Zhang Lin and Shen Yu there, especially since he wanted to find the beast hiding deep in the Pacific Ocean to become his sister beast contract. However, Zhang Fei did not have the water element, so he decided to bring Shen Yu with them. After all, she was a sea serpent, and her cultivation was higher than his, so he was confident that she could find the beast. Like the women from the Sky Jade Realm, Shen Yu also felt nauseous when they arrived at Zhang Chen's house, but she used her qi to cover her body, allowing her to breathe freely. Zhang Fei then took the two women to the Pacific Ocean using his Nine Cloud Steps, and they were able to arrive there much faster because he could move 100 km in one fell swoop. Shen Yu used her senses to explore deep into the ocean, and her expression showed a slight surprise when she discovered the beast. "A hippocampus, huh? Lin'er and that beast both have the water element, so they are indeed a suitable match, Fei." - To Be Continued - === My other novels 1. Cultivator With Modern AI 2.
