Knowing that Chi Fei had something to say, the clan chief took Chi Fei away.

Throughout the journey, Chi Fei kept her eyes fixed on her toes, lost in thought.

Chieftain: "Are you in a bad mood?"

Chi Fei kept telling herself to be strong, but the moment the clan leader spoke, all her pretense vanished, and the grievances and sadness in her heart spread like a flood.

"Chief, I..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Chi Fei's tears began to flow uncontrollably.

She was raised by the clan chief, who was both her teacher and her elder in her heart.

Pregnant women are prone to worry, but now that she and Zhang Fan might become enemies, the more she thought about it, the sadder she became.

What is my relationship with Zhen Xing?

The clan chief paused for a moment, then said with an unnatural expression, "You have no relation whatsoever."

Chi Fei kept her eyes fixed on the clan leader, not missing a single expression. Seeing the clan leader's reaction, she became even more certain of her judgment, and her heart sank to the bottom.

Clan Chief: "When you met Zhen Xing, what did he say to you?"

Chi Fei gritted her teeth: "No... I didn't say anything."

Miao region is a matriarchal society. After a child is born, relatives and friends will help take care of the child, so raising a child is not that difficult.

If Zhang Fan doesn't want the child, she'll run away, give birth, and then return to the valley to raise the child with the other women.

Her mind was hazy, and she made a few casual remarks to the clan chief.

Seeing that she was not in good condition, the clan chief wanted her to stay and sleep, but Chi Fei declined and chose to sleep with Zhang Fan instead.

"A daughter is like a tree that cannot be kept at home once she grows up," the clan chief joked.

Chi Fei forced a smile: "Clan leader, I'll head back now."

Zhang Fan lay in bed, thinking about the mysterious organization, when he soon heard someone at the door.

The man stood at the door for a long time, seemingly lost in thought.

After almost the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the door was opened from the outside, and Chi Fei walked in with a smile on her face: "It's been a long time since I slept in a bed. I'll have to get a good rest tonight."

She lay on the bed, pressed against Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan saw through her disguise, but since Chi Fei didn't say anything, he didn't ask, giving Chi Fei enough private space.

Chi Fei pretended to be asleep with her eyes closed. Only when she heard Zhang Fan's long, steady breathing did she slowly open her eyes and turn to look at Zhang Fan.

This handsome face, with its sharply defined features, straight nose, and deep-set eyes, makes your heart race just by looking at it.

Chi Fei stared at Zhang Fan with an intensely greedy look in her eyes. She wanted to memorize Zhang Fan's appearance so that she wouldn't forget it later.

Zhang Fan was pretending to be asleep. He could tell that Chi Fei was also asleep and looked preoccupied, so Zhang Fan chose to pretend to be asleep.

Pregnant women are prone to mood swings due to hormones, so they should not be aroused and must simply endure it.

Chi Fei didn't know when she fell asleep. When she woke up, she found herself sleeping on Zhang Fan's arm.

"Good morning," Zhang Fan greeted.

Chi Fei's heart raced, and her breath hitched. She really couldn't bear to part with this man.

She thought, otherwise she could keep this secret for the rest of her life.

"Zhang Fan, let me take you to the herb field."

We had planned to visit the medicinal herb field, but we haven't been able to find the opportunity yet.

Zhang Fan nodded. He also wanted to see the poisonous herbs of Miao territory, which could change shape and were quite similar to the Black Serpent Sword.

The two arrived at the herb field. Zhang Fan recognized most of the herbs, but there were a few he didn't recognize.

Chi Fei explained one by one: "This is the Heavenly Remnant Grass. Without an antidote, one must break an arm or a leg to survive."

"The Fire Dance Grass is not poisonous, but when it blooms, it looks like clusters of fire dancing."

A gust of wind blew by, and the fiery red fire grass swayed its flowers, looking from a distance just like clusters of fire.

Finally, Chi Fei plucked a seven-colored flower: "This is the poisonous weed of our Miao region—the seven-colored flower."

Its flowers come in seven colors, just like the colors of a rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple.

Zhang Fan took the seven-colored flower and gently smelled it.

Each petal has a different medicinal effect.

It contains tonics, aphrodisiacs, and even slightly toxic and highly toxic substances.

Chi Fei bit her fingertip and dripped blood onto the red petals. Instantly, the medicinal effects of the entire flower were transformed into the medicinal effects of the red petals: a poison that would penetrate the intestines.

"My blood can fix the effect of medicine. I can drip my blood onto the petals of the color I want to achieve the desired effect."

Zhang Fan tried dripping a drop of blood, but the medicinal effects of the Seven-Colored Flower remained unchanged.

His eyes were deep and thoughtful. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Perhaps your ancestors had hidden abilities, but not everyone inherits them."

Mentioning their ancestors startled Chi Fei again. She looked at Zhang Fan intently, took a deep breath, and finally mustered her courage: "Zhang Fan, there's something I need to tell you."

Zhang Fan: "What is it?"

Chi Fei took a few deep breaths to calm herself down: "I confirmed with the clan chief yesterday that Zhen Xing and I are related."

Zhang Fan frowned slightly: "?"

Chi Fei: "I know you must hate Zhen Xing. I am his descendant, so you must hate me for it. But the child is innocent. I hope you will not take your anger out on him in the future."

Zhang Fan: "The clan chief said there's a relationship between you two?"

Chi Fei shook her head: "She didn't say it explicitly, but when I asked her, she avoided eye contact, which clearly indicates there's something wrong."

Zhang Fan sighed, picked up Chi Fei, and walked back.

"what you do?"

Zhang Fan: "If you have any questions, ask them directly. Don't speculate, or it will cause misunderstandings."

Zhang Fan carried her the whole way. There were many people coming and going. Chi Fei shyly buried her head, her ears so red they looked like they could bleed.

Upon arriving at the clan chief's house, the clan chief was startled, thinking that Chi Fei was unwell, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Fan: "Clan leader, some things need to be said openly, otherwise Chi Fei will keep overthinking things. Is there really a relationship between Chi Fei and Zhen Xing?"

The clan elder blushed and said, "It's related, yet it's not."

It turns out that the clan chief poisoned Zhen Xin back then, plotting against her, but when Zhen Xing fell off the cliff, he pulled the clan chief down with him.

The two fell off a cliff and were both seriously injured. They both thought they were going to die, so they opened up to each other and had an exciting night in the cave.

Afterwards, Zhen Xing left without saying goodbye.

...

Later, the Tianlong Sect kidnapped the clan leader. In order to save Chi Fei's life, the clan leader lied and claimed that Chi Fei was Zhen Xing's child.

This matter was too disgraceful, so the clan leader did not dare to tell Chi Fei about it immediately.

Chi Fei breathed a sigh of relief, a big smile spreading across her face. Great, she and Zhen Xing had nothing to do with each other.

There's nothing wrong with her being with Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan gave a thumbs up: "Still going strong even in old age."

The clan elder's face turned even redder: "You're my son-in-law, how can a son-in-law joke around with his mother-in-law?"

"We've all registered. When are we going back?" Hao Sanjun asked Su Qin.

Zhang Fan turned his head and looked over. Su Qin also looked over. Their eyes met in mid-air. Su Qin winked at Zhang Fan and smiled charmingly.
