Chapter 1212: Cooperation Offer
At a time when people in many places were experiencing unrest, Zhang Fei [4] was sitting opposite of two women. "Sect Master Nong, I want to cooperate with you in the assassination business."
"Hmm?" Both women frowned at Zhang Fei [4]’s request. "Do you also have an assassin group?"
Zhang Fei [4] summoned several women, such as Qian Ying, Ju Yingzhi, Xin Yanluo, Meng Qi, and several others. "They are members of my demon fox group, but I am not the founder and one of my wives founded it."
Nong Qinwei and Yin Chang observed the women, but their cultivation was too low to roam around in the Paradise Realm, particularly since they had not yet broken through to the Five Celestial Realms. They were surprised to discover that Qian Ying, Ju Yingzhi, and Xin Yanluo were demons.
"I know they are much weaker than your sect members, but they won’t lose to them in assassination." Both women doubted it, but Zhang Fei [4] didn’t mind their reactions. "Yunxiao told me about your assassin group, and I don’t want our two groups to become enemies. After all, having more friends is better, right? Moreover, both of you are already aware of some of my connections and abilities, so you should not doubt my capability to strengthen them. If you are willing to accept my offer, I will supply them with my pills, and they can become even stronger."
Nong Qinwei and Yin Chang thought of that, as they had both experienced the effects of some of Zhang Fei [4]’s pills that he sold at the Immortal Lotus Sanctuary; Thus, they knew that their effects were greatly beneficial for them and their disciples.
Nong Qinwei then spoke to him. "Your offer is excellent and tempting, but I can’t decide now. Although I am the sect master of the Hidden Moon Sect, there are still several people above me, and I need to discuss this matter with them first."
"I understand." Zhang Fei [4] nodded at her. "I won’t force you two to accept my offer right away, and you can return to your sect to discuss this matter with them first. Whether they agree or not, I hope you can directly inform me of their decision. Even if we can’t cooperate directly, we can still cooperate indirectly, such as dividing our operational areas to prevent clashes in the field."
"Yes." Nong Qinwei brought Yun Chang to her feet. "We will return to our sect now, and we will discuss this matter with them directly. After they have made a decision, I will inform you directly."
"I hope to hear good news from you." After the two women left, Zhang Fei [4] brought Meng Qi and the others back to the training space. He asked them to cultivate more diligently, especially Meng Qi and Meng Guanqiu. He then returned to the pavilion and resumed his activities with his three wives, Ilsath, Orith, and Zilvora.

In one of the bedrooms, Zhang Fei was watching Yao Qilin, who was still unconscious and naked. He decided to merge her original soul with his own before waking her up.
"Mhmm..." Yao Qilin groaned softly and slowly opened her eyes; she immediately jumped in shock upon seeing the light, as there was no light in the Endless Night Dungeon. She then looked at Zhang Fei with a frown. "Where am I? Who are you? I’m familiar with your face, but I can’t sense any demon or beast aura from you."
"Haha." Zhang Fei laughed and explained to her. "Long Fei is the pseudonym I gave you, and my real name is Zhang Fei. As you can see, I am an ordinary human, but my dragon form that you saw in the abyss is also real."
"You—" Yao Qilin stopped talking as soon as Zhang Fei transformed into his humanoid dragon form, and she could recognize the same aura as when they first met in the abyss. "How is this possible? How can you have two identities?"
"Actually, I still have one more identity." Yao Qilin’s jaw dropped when Zhang Fei transformed into his lust demon form. "Apart from being human and dragon, I am also an emperor-rank lust demon. By the way, this place is my private place, and no one can leave or enter without my permission."
Yao Qilin returned to her senses and tried to attack Zhang Fei, only to discover that he had sealed her cultivation. She also realized that her body was naked, forcing her to cover her two sensitive areas with her hands.
Yao Qilin’s face turned cold and questioned him with an unfriendly tone. "What do you want from me? Why are you doing this to me? Were you the one who brought Long Wuzhao and the others into the dungeon?"
"You’re right, I brought the three dragons to the dungeon, and the people who attacked your comrades were my allies." Zhang Fei grabbed her hands and moved them away, making her furious. However, she was powerless without her cultivation. "We have no problems with each other, and you are quite interesting in my opinion. Therefore, I stopped you when you wanted to help them because I didn’t want you to die, and I sent you here. As for your situation, I didn’t take off your clothes, but one of my wives did."
"All men are untrustworthy! I don’t believe you!" Zhang Fei shook his head before asking all the members of his main harem to go inside, making Yao Qilin shocked and frozen in her spot. ’What the hell? Why are they naked like this?’
"Hehehe! Don’t blame our husband because I took off your clothes and left you in this room." Nalan Yushu then moved behind her and hugged her from behind. "For your information, not all women can attract his attention, but you managed to attract his attention, so he stopped you and sent you here."
Yao Qilin turned to Nalan Yushu, and she recognized her identity. "Aren’t you the second princess of the soul-devouring demon race? How can you be with them? Didn’t Tian Qiye imprison your soul in the tower?"
"Him." Nalan Yushu pointed at Zhang Fei. "Several years ago, he and his acquaintances challenged the tower, and I met them there. I’ve lived with him ever since, and he helped me recover my soul. In the end, I managed to reshape my body, and here I am now as one of his wives."
Yao Qilin turned to Zhang Fei again. "No wonder Nalan Wangzi was unwilling to hand you over to me even though I offered her high compensation; it turns out you are her brother-in-law."
"Hehe." Zhang Fei chuckled. "Even if my sister-in-law is willing to accept your offer, you still cannot take me with you, and I just have to hide here until my cultivation reaches your level."
Yao Qilin’s lips twitched at that. "So, all these women are your wives? You already have so many wives, but you kidnap me and treat me like this."
"Hey! I didn’t treat you like this, okay?" Zhang Fei denied with a shake of his head. "Yushu already said that she took off your clothes and left you here, but you still accuse me. Moreover, I won’t keep you in this place, and I will send you out if you want to leave."
"Are you really going to free me?" Yao Qilin doubtfully asked.
"I am a man of my word." Zhang Fei took Yao Qilin’s clothes on the table and handed them to her. "Get dressed; I’ll send you out if you want. Taotie and the others should know the situation, and they’ll be suspicious of you if you return now. Perhaps they will consider you a traitor, and they will probably kill you."
"You’re the one who put me in this situation! You shouldn’t have stopped me, and you should have let me die with the others!" Zhang Fei just smiled at that, irritating Yao Qilin. "Are they really dead?"
Zhang Fei shook his head. "Jin Kuang killed Jiu Niao, and the other seven are in my prison now."
"Hmm?" Yao Qilin felt something odd about that. "Did you release one of us?"
"Fei Lian." Yao Qilin snorted upon hearing that name, thinking that Zhang Fei also wanted the Demonic Wind Beast as his woman. "Haha! Your guess is not wrong, but she is different from you, and I have other reasons for letting her go."
"To spy on our four leaders." Zhang Fei admitted with a nod, making Yao Qilin sigh in her heart. "I have many questions for you, but I’m sure you won’t answer them."
Zhang Fei smiled at that. "If you are willing to be my woman, I will tell you many things."
"Humph!" Yao Qilin snorted at her before breaking free from Nalan Yushu’s embrace, and she hurriedly got dressed. "I won’t leave, but I don’t want you to bother me."
"Sure." Zhang Fei led all his wives out of the room.
Yao Qilin let out a soft sigh, lay on the bed, and covered her face with her hands. Many questions kept popping up in her mind, especially regarding the relationship between Zhang Fei and Long Wuzhao.
"Wow! So many mythical beasts!"
Wu Lianzhi’s shout startled Yao Qilin, who hurriedly went to the window to peek at them. She was shocked to see Xie Heilong and the others already in the main garden, and their condition was dire. "What does he want to do to them? Is he going to kill them now?"
