203: Sister or Madam?
This young man… he’s truly unbelievably handsome; she actually developed an undeniable liking for him the moment she saw him!
Her gaze towards Chen Xuan deepened, making one involuntarily fall for her.
In Chen Xuan’s eyes, her demeanor was elegant and graceful, exuding a noble aura in every gesture, causing young Chen Xuan to be captivated.
“May I ask, Family Head, what brings you here today…?” Yu Gang asked.
“Oh, nothing much, I just sensed some activity here, so I came to take a look!” Zhang Wei said after looking at Chen Xuan.
“Actually, it’s nothing much. Just now, the Great Master asked me to summon my own Natal Immortal Soul, which caused some commotion!” Chen Xuan explained, looking at Zhang Wei.
“So that’s how it is! What is your Natal Immortal Soul, Chen Xuan? Is it that Peach Tree behind you?”
“That’s right, my Natal Immortal Soul is that Peach Tree behind me. They are testing my Natal Immortal Soul!”
“Oh? Is there anything special about your Natal Immortal Soul?”
“Actually, it’s nothing much, just a tiny bit of calming effect.”
Upon hearing this, a hint of disdain flashed in Zhang Wei’s eyes. This Chen Xuan’s Immortal Soul was not as good as his son Zhang Run’s, or even his own dog Immortal Soul!
Yes, they also had Immortal Souls. Jade Master had tampered with the Cultivation Technique, so there was no big problem in teaching it to them. The reason it wasn't announced to the entire world was because it was a semi-finished product, and it might damage his reputation if it went wrong.
But even so, many people from major powers still came to humbly seek guidance, wanting to observe and learn properly.
Among them was the Zhang Family.
Zhang Wei and Zhang Run, along with a series of others, had all awakened their exclusive Immortal Souls.
However, what was puzzling was that most of the Immortal Souls of the Zhang Family’s core members were Golden Flame Lions, with a few being mutated lions or cats. Only he himself and his son Zhang Run had dog-type Immortal Souls, and they were the ugly, silly kind of dogs.
Because of this, the Zhang Family’s high-ranking members often doubted his authenticity, but after a series of tests, he truly was of their Zhang Family Bloodline. Now, no one had anything to say.
However, there was one point that the Zhang Family’s high-ranking members did not agree with, and that was letting his son Zhang Run inherit the Zhang Family! They declared that the Zhang Family should be inherited by the owner of the pure-blooded Golden Flame Lion Immortal Soul!
As for Zhang Run, this Bloodline mutant, they said he should start another branch, and their Zhang Family would acknowledge his branch.
Because of this, Zhang Wei and his wife were furious. His son Zhang Run was already the purest Zhang Family Bloodline, yet just because his Immortal Soul was different, they insisted he wasn't suitable to inherit the Family? Was this a joke?
Furthermore, even if Zhang Wei agreed, Xiao Hongmei’s Xiao Family behind her would not agree!
Because of this, at Xiao Hongmei’s instigation, Zhang Wei spent a fortune to hire Jade Master to be an Elder, hoping that Jade Master would take his son Zhang Run as a disciple. Once his son grew up, those old fogeys would surely beg his son to be the Family Head!
This was the beginning of this series of events.
But unfortunately, Yu Gang didn’t think highly of his son and only agreed to guide him for a period of time.
“You are Chen Xuan, who came from my Zhang Family’s Mountain and Sea Realm! Hmm, your Peach Blossom is truly beautiful, and I also have a plant-type Immortal Soul, so it seems I can exchange more with you in the future!” Xiao Hongmei walked directly under the Peach Tree and praised Chen Xuan.
“This Sister is…”
“Oh my, you young man are truly good with words. I’m already so old, old enough to be your mother, yet you call me ‘Sister’!”
It wasn’t that Xiao Hongmei hadn’t heard compliments from others, but Chen Xuan was different! The first time she saw Chen Xuan, she developed a slight liking for this unbelievably handsome man. Now, hearing him say this, her eyes squinted with a smile.
“How is that possible?!” Chen Xuan feigned surprise: “Impossible, absolutely impossible! Seeing your appearance, Sister, you don’t look old at all; you’re clearly a young girl! You must be lying to me!” Chen Xuan said with a sincere expression.
“Hehehe… Your mouth is so sweet, I like it, Sister!” Xiao Hongmei was overjoyed by Chen Xuan’s flattery: “But, do you not know who I am yet?”
“I dare not speculate on Sister’s identity, but you must be a member of the Zhang Family Head’s Family!” Chen Xuan said seriously.
“Hehehe, you guessed right. I am Zhang Wei’s wife, Zhang Run’s mother, the mistress of the Zhang Family, Xiao Hongmei!”
“Ah?!” Chen Xuan feigned great surprise: “So, so it’s Madame Zhang. It was my oversight, I was rude just now, please forgive me, Madame!” After saying that, Chen Xuan cupped his hands towards Xiao Hongmei.
“Hehe, ignorance is no sin. It’s my fault for having such a deceptive appearance!” Xiao Hongmei waved her hand casually.
Zhu Zhu, seeing this, knew that Chen Xuan was about to act up.
This Xiao Hongmei was truly something, already so old, yet still pretending to be young. She found her annoying!
Zhai Ningning also frowned. The most beautiful person here should be her, and her Zhai family was much more powerful than this Zhang Family. You, Chen Xuan, a waste from the Lower Realm, instead of fawning over this Young Miss, you go and flatter an old woman?!
Qing Wu, on the other hand, was indifferent. Her heart was not on Chen Xuan, but she found one thing very strange: Xiao Hongmei was clearly dressed as a mature beautiful woman, so why did Chen Xuan still see her as a Sister!
“No, no, please, Zhang Family Head, please punish me!”
“Hey, young friend, you’re too polite. You are originally from my Mountain and Sea Realm, and to some extent, you are also a part of my Zhang Family. You just haven’t met my wife before, that’s all normal!”
Zhang Wei was also very magnanimous. He understood Xiao Hongmei’s intentions perfectly; it was all to pave the way for his son!
If Yu Gang didn’t agree, then they just needed to establish good relations with the members of this Monster Group. As long as they all agreed, it wouldn’t be difficult for his son to join.
Furthermore, Xiao Hongmei was such an arrogant woman; what kind of flattery hadn’t she heard? Chen Xuan’s few words, in his opinion, were terribly clumsy!
The most crucial thing was that he couldn't even remember how long it had been since he had touched his wife, so how could she possibly fancy someone from the Lower Realm!
“Young friend, you have just summoned your Immortal Soul, and I presume you haven’t assigned any Martial Skills yet? My wife saw you today and felt an immediate connection, thinking very highly of you. In the future, if you have any questions about Immortal Souls, you can consult her!”
“That’s right, my Immortal Soul, Sister, is a Plum Blossom Tree, and it now has 6 powerful, or auxiliary, Immortal Soul Martial Skills!” Xiao Hongmei said with a smile.
“Six? I didn’t expect Madame Zhang to be so formidable!” Six Immortal Soul Martial Skills meant that Xiao Hongmei’s cultivation had reached Void Refining!
“Your mouth was so sweet just now, why the change in address now? From now on, just call me Sister!” Xiao Hongmei said with dissatisfaction.
“This… isn’t it inappropriate?”
“What’s inappropriate about it? Calling me ‘Madame’ all the time makes me sound old!”
Chen Xuan looked at Zhang Wei, who smiled and nodded.
“Then I shall respectfully obey!”
“Hmm, in the future, if there’s anything you don’t understand about your Immortal Soul Martial Skills, feel free to ask me. I have experience in this area!” Xiao Hongmei patted her impressive bosom.
“Okay, if I ever have a need, I’ll come to you, Sister Xiao, anytime!” Chen Xuan quickly agreed.
“Hmm~” Xiao Hongmei’s face flushed upon hearing this. Her thoughts had gone a little astray.
“Alright, we came to exchange with Jade Master, so we won’t disturb you anymore!” Xiao Hongmei finished speaking, then turned and left. Zhang Wei, seeing this, also left with Yu Gang and Zhang Run.
Before leaving, Yu Gang handed Chen Xuan the remaining parts for adding Immortal Soul Martial Skills. Chen Xuan’s Immortal Soul was too trashy for him to care, so he let him absorb Yao Beasts however he wanted.
Little did he know, Chen Xuan had already had the System deduce everything, and the version was already very complete and mature, many times stronger than what he had given!
However, Zhang Run gave Chen Xuan a meaningful look as he left.
The meaning was clear: “If you dare to cause trouble, you will be seeking your own death!”
