"Huhu... Little guy, we meet again," a soft and seductive voice followed the swaying of her robe,鑽進郝仁的耳朵裡。
Harker was surprised to see Zhen Fei and didn't expect her to show up.
He glanced sideways again and suddenly froze in shock.
Behind Zhen Fei followed a little girl, also wearing colorful robes with a strong Sui-Tang flavor yet very cute—Duan Yao!
Duan Yao glared at Harker, her expression complicated.
The last time he saw her, she was wearing light and thin Taoist robes that made her look slender. But this high-waisted robe tied around the chest perfectly hid her flaws; combined with her already slightly classical face, it seemed as if she were an ancient imperial princess.
"Let me introduce my newly recruited disciple, Yaor.
Of course, in private, you can't call her that," Zhen Fei smiled at Harker and said gently.
Harker looked at both of them, puzzled as to why they would be together.
"Yaor, this is your clever auntie's grandson. By seniority, you should call him brother," Zhen Fei turned her head to look at Duan Yao and said.
Duan Yao bit her lip with her sharp teeth, as if trying to seal her mouth.
"Yaor."
Zhen Fei urged.
Her face flushed red; recalling her promise to Zhen Fei to sever all ties with the past, she finally glared and softly called out, "Brother."
Harker hadn't expected Duan Yao to call him that. He was momentarily stunned. However, from her eyes, he could clearly see unerasable hatred.
"Ar Rin! Why didn’t you let the guests in!" Grandmother shouted from inside the house.
"Oh!" Harker replied and hurriedly made way for Zhen Fei to enter with a handshake.
This small beach villa was usually kept very clean. This time, under Grandma's command, Yue Yang and Hao Zhonghua swept it for an hour until it shone like new.
Zhen Fei took off her embroidered shoes and stepped in on the floor. Following behind her, Duan Yao was both surprised and curious about Harker’s house; she untied her little embroidered shoes and lifted her fluttering robe to enter.
When Zhen Fei suddenly snatched her away, she had some resistance at first, but upon entering the Demon Sea and witnessing Zhen Fei's earth-defying powers and incomparable might, she immediately submitted.
She cut ties with Mount Tiandu Sect but still harbored resentment towards Harker. She wanted to avenge him by becoming very strong, so after seeing how powerful Zhen Fei was, Duan Yao no longer hesitated and hurriedly knelt down拜師。
Zhen Fei was also very pleased with Duan Yao; in these tens of thousands of years, she hadn't taken on a disciple. Upon meeting Duan Yao, she felt fondness towards her, especially since Duan Yao was a Fire Spirit Body, perfectly suited for practicing demon clan techniques.
In the Demon Sea, Water Spirit Bodies were numerous, but Fire Spirit Bodies were rare.
When Zhen Fei first saw Duan Yao and noticed her unique constitution, she wanted to recruit her, yet felt it wouldn't make much difference. After breaking free from those Core Formation cultivators and returning to the Demon Sea, seeing such a pretty little girl like Duan Yao would be a pity if not kept by her side; thus, she made another trip to the Fifth Layer of Heaven.
Whether taking or not taking was all due to fate. Since Zhen Fei's son Zhen Cunming had been taken away by Qiu Niu, she decided to take a disciple for fun. Nobody dared say anything about it either.
In these days of getting along, Duan Yao, who considered herself an "orphan," respected her Master Zhen Fei greatly and was intelligent and obedient, making Zhen Fei even more fond of Duan Yao and determined to bring her ashore for some exposure.
A Demon King like her is unrestricted by the world, acting on whim as she pleases. Just a thought of hers could easily alter someone’s destiny—such as when she took in Duan Yao—and even some changes in historical dynasties are merely fleeting thoughts of a Demon King!
"Hello Grandma," said Zhen Fei as she entered the house, blinking her pretty eyes and greeting the grandma sitting on the sofa.
The grandma lifted her head; this was the first time she had seen such an impressive woman. The carefully decorated villa by the seaside seemed shabby in comparison to Zhen Fei’s entrance, truly "adding luster"!
"Hehe, hello," the grandma said with surprise upon realizing that it wasn’t Ah Zi’s parents who entered.
From the sofa, she stood up and made a welcoming gesture.
"I am Smart’s mother, Zhen Fei. Our family’s Smart has been under your care for quite some time now, so I’ve always wanted to visit you," said Zhen Fei with a warm smile, even the corners of her lips seeming to emit a glow. "Oh, no need to be polite! No need!" The grandma was taken aback by Zhen Fei’s unexpected visit on Mid-Autumn Festival and felt slightly panicked. She hastily took Xiaoyu Jia’s hand.
"Rainy, quickly make some tea."
"Yes," Xiaoyu Jia nodded obediently and ran off to the kitchen.
The grandma stared at Zhen Fei in astonishment; she had lived a long life but was truly captivated by her beauty. She then looked at the little girl beside her, who was also very cute and delicate.
"This is my niece, Yao," said Zhen Fei with a smile.
"Oh, it’s fine, it’s fine! Sit down!" The grandma pointed to the sofa.
Duan Yao kept her face stern as she warily observed her surroundings, yet dared not sit down casually. Everything in this room—be it chandeliers or sofas, even tiles and glass cabinets—were unfamiliar to her.
"Here’s a gift for you; I hope you like it," said Zhen Fei, lifting the large bag of gifts she had brought along.
"Just come to play with us. Why buy presents" The grandma patted Smart’s head and said, "Smart is very well-behaved here; I really like him."
"Hohoho, it’s our duty, it’s our duty…" Zhen Fei covered her lips with one hand while laughing and leaning back gracefully.
Amongst all the gifts she brought was a beautifully packed mooncake set, suitable as Mid-Autumn Festival holiday gifts for friends and relatives.
Hao Ren hurriedly reached out to take the presents from Zhen Fei’s hands; having a Demon King personally pay respects on this day was quite an honor.
The grandma knew of the sincerity behind these gifts and noticed how Duan Yao beside Zhen Fei had her face stiffened up, not saying anything. She thought she must be nervous and touched her gently, "Little Yao, if you want some snacks or sweets just take them."
Hao Ren’s living room coffee table was always filled with various treats; since Smart came to live in Hao Ren’s house, the grandma often topped up the snacks on the coffee table.
Duan Yao had been on high alert and reacted immediately when touched by the grandma, raising her hand to bat away the grandma’s wrist.
"Yao, how can you be so rude This is Hao Ren’s grandmother; you should address her as ‘Grandma’," Zhen Fei turned to look at Duan Yao, a frosty expression on her face.
"No harm done, no harm done…" The grandma hastily waved her hand. She was startled by Duan Yao’s action but wouldn’t quarrel with such a little girl.
However, Zhen Fei would not let Duan Yao off the hook so easily.
Duan Yao was the sole daughter of the sect leader at Heavenly Mountain Sect and everyone pampered her; but now that she followed Zhen Fei, she must obey and won’t be spoiled by her.
Seeing the frosty light in Zhen Fei’s eyes, Duan Yao dared not act out and meekly called out, "Grandma…"
"Hehe, it’s your first time here; you must feel a little uncomfortable. Come, come, have some sweets and watch TV," said the grandma as she grabbed a handful of candy to place in Duan Yao’s palm.
Duan Yao looked at Zhen Fei’s expression before quietly sitting down on the soft sofa with her candy without uttering another word.
She had sworn to follow Master Zhen Fei and could no longer return to the Fifth Heavenly Layer, leaving her with no retreat.
Zhuo Yujia was sleeping in her room on the first floor when she heard the greetings from the living room. She thought that her parents had arrived and immediately opened the door, wearing Zhuo Yujia's loose pajamas, stepping out of the room.
She suddenly saw Zhen Fei and then noticed Duan Yao sitting on the sofa. Stunned in place, she couldn't wrap her head around the situation.
Sitting on the sofa and trying to figure out how to peel off the candy wrapper, Duan Yao suddenly saw Zhao Yanzi. She instantly leaped up from the sofa, bumping into the coffee table with her legs, causing it to wobble several centimeters.
Seeing an enemy brought out intense feelings of hatred.
Duan Yao never expected that she could see Hao Ren here and also Zhao Yanzi.
"Azi, wake up!" Grandma looked at Zhao Yanzi with a smiley face, waving her hand. "Come over, come over. Grandma will introduce you to this little friend."
She pointed at Duan Yao, saying, "This is Yaor, your clever cousin who's visiting our house today."
In Grandma's view, Duan Yao and Zhao Yanzi were around the same age; Duan Yao was introverted while Zhao Yanzi was lively, perfectly complementing each other to prevent this little girl from getting bored.
She didn't know that Duan Yao and Zhao Yanzi were sworn enemies who would never stop until one of them died. The situation Duan Yao was in now was entirely because of Zhao Yanzi, while Zhao Yanzi had suffered greatly at the hands of Duan Yao before.
"What's wrong" Grandma asked somewhat puzzled when she saw that Zhao Yanzi hadn't moved from her spot.
"I...," Zhao Yanzi pursed her lips, not knowing how to respond.
Duan Yao stood beside Zhen Fei and glared at her, looking like a little tiger. She was wearing an extremely beautiful robe that would make one think she was adorable if they didn't see the expression on her face.
Zhao Yanzi, however, wore Zhuo Yujia's pink pajamas casually, not nearly as pretty as Duan Yao.
Moo... Moo... Xiaobai ran out of Zhao Yanzi's room behind her and snarled at Duan Yao.
"Xiaobai, you're being naughty! Don't behave like this towards our guest!" Grandma waved at Xiaobai with an unhappy expression.
"Aizi... come over and get to know Little Yaor," Hao Ren said.
Zhen Fei bringing Duan Yao over was indeed unexpected for him, but since Grandma was there and it was a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, he didn't want to escalate the situation.
When Hao Ren called her "Little Yaor," Duan Yao immediately turned around with an aggrieved look.
Hao Ren merely looked at her indifferently without any expression.
Before the Heavenly Mountain Sect's siege of the Mysterious Peak, he couldn't say that he disliked or liked Duan Yao; she and Zhao Yanzi had their own conflicts which they could resolve themselves.
However, after the Heavenly Mountain Sect launched a massive attack on the Mysterious Peak nearly wiping it out, Hao Ren found it impossible to feel any goodwill towards her anymore.
If Duan Yao wasn't brought by Zhen Fei, Hao Ren wouldn’t allow her into his home at all.
"Oh...," Zhao Yanzi slowly approached a few steps. "My name is Zhao Yanzi; you can call me Aizi."
Duan Yao continued to look coldly at Zhao Yanzi with hateful eyes.
"Haha, that's great then. You two are around the same age, so you can play together." Grandma didn't notice Duan Yao's expression and was pleased to see Zhao Yanzǐ proactively reaching out.
Grandma liked girls who were warm and親切.
The likes of Duan Yao, whether she was shy or cold-hearted, despite being brought by Zhen Fei, the mother of Zhen Cōngming, didn't stir any affection in Grandma.
In comparison, Grandma still preferred Zhao Yanzǐ, who was lively and lovely both in appearance and personality.
"Xiaoyao! Let's go play inside!" Zhao Yanzǐ greeted Duan Yao and suddenly changed her attitude, warmly taking hold of Duan Yao’s arm to drag her towards the room. She then said to Grandma, "Grandma, I’m bringing Xiaoyao in."
"Go ahead, go ahead…" Grandma waved happily.
Duan Yao was full of rage but couldn’t break free as she was dragged by Zhao Yanzǐ.
When Duan Yao had been brought to the Sea of Ten Thousand Demons by Zhen Fei, she was easily remade and her previous cultivation levels and powers were completely lost – even the methods personally taught by an ancient martial ancestor at the peak Great Perfection stage seemed like trash to Zhen Fei!
Duan Yao wanted to become stronger; then Zhen Fei would prepare to turn Duan Yao into "the first female demon under heaven!"
To seduce all beings and make every man swoon! To have the Tianshan Sect regret it until death! A slight frown or smile could kill countless cultivators at the Spirit Formation stage!
Seeing that Duan Yao was dragged into a room by Zhao Yanzǐ, Zhen Fei covered her mouth as she laughed. She gently tapped on Huo Ren and said, "My disciple is determined to kill you. How admirable! My good nephew, make sure to work hard in your cultivation or else I won't take responsibility if one day she kills you."
Huo Ren looked at her and exhaled slightly with a helpless smile. With Zhen Fei’s god-defying strength, it was easy for her to toy with anyone and even set people up before destroying them.
If Huo Ren hadn’t been related to Zhen Cōngming in some way, Zhen Fei would have probably prioritized eliminating Duan Yao's enemies first after taking her as a disciple, and removing the heart demon that held back her cultivation progress.
But since Zhen Fei had met Huo Ren once and was now called "aunt-in-law," she wouldn’t take action for Duan Yao but instead let Duan Yao solve her own problems.
Bringing Duan Yao over to visit Huo Ren’s family was partly to fulfill a promise made previously, and partly to introduce Duan Yao.
"This is…"
Yue Yang, who had come down the stairs cleaning the second floor, was slightly surprised when he saw Zhen Fei.
"This is Cōngming’s mother, Zhen Fei." Grandma said.
"Hello hello..." Huo Zhonghua quickened his pace and went over to them.
Zhen Fei smiled as she stretched out her arm. She lightly touched the back of Huo Zhonghua's palm and they had a handshake. They had met once at Zhen Cōngming’s elementary school gate, so this was their second meeting.
Yue Yang saw that Huo Zhonghua was staring at Zhen Fei and quietly pinched him.
"This is Huo Ren's mother, Yue Yang." Huo Zhonghua introduced her further.
"Hello," Yue Yang smiled generously. Huo Zhonghua had mentioned meeting Zhen Cōngming’s mother once before, but she hadn’t really paid it much attention until now when she realized just how stunningly beautiful the woman was.
DadaDada... Su Han appeared at the stairs wearing a black mini skirt and stockings.
