Chapter 60
But now that we've arrived in Hanhai City, finding someone is the priority!
Ye Zi and Luo Hengzhi decided to go find Pang Hewen first, and after Pang Hewen's matter was settled, they would go to the secret realm to thoroughly raid it.
Following the address provided by Huo Zhongkui, they went directly to Pang Hewen's house.
Because registration is required to enter the residential area, and for the convenience of entering and leaving, Longbao Fire Phoenix transformed back into its beast-like cub form, perched on Ye Zi and Luo Hengzhi's shoulders, and resumed its old job as an ornament.
"Who are you?" A woman dressed elegantly but looking exhausted opened the door and saw Ye Zi and Luo Hengzhi standing outside. Her eyes were filled with vigilance.
"Mom, who are they? Are they those vixens who came looking for Dad again?" A sixteen-year-old boy appeared behind the woman, glaring at Ye Zi and Luo Hengzhi with equally hostile eyes.
"You are... Luo Hengzhi and Fairy Sister."
When the boy saw Ye Zi and Luo Hengzhi's faces clearly, his eyes lit up. The next moment, his brows relaxed, and he excitedly pointed to the fire phoenix and dragon baby on their shoulders!
"Then you must be the legendary Crouching Dragon and Young Phoenix!"
Upon hearing the phrase "Sleeping Dragon and Young Phoenix," Longbao and Huofeng immediately recognized the child as one of the viewers who had watched their live stream.
"Mom, please move aside, this is my friend." The boy opened the door wide and warmly invited Ye Zi and Luo Hengzhi into the house.
Then he turned to his mother and said, "Mom, don't worry, they're not here to see Dad. They're internet celebrities, they're very famous online."
The boy's mother seemed skeptical, but didn't say anything!
"Mr. Luo, please have some tea. Sister, please have some tea." The boy politely poured tea for the two of them and also brought them some washed fruit.
"Xiaofei." Xiaofei's mother called the boy over, her eyes showing unease. "I've told you before, you can't easily trust any strangers, especially those you meet online."
Xiao Fei: "Mom, Luo Hengzhi is the owner of Minglan Jewelry. Didn't you buy jewelry from them before? That fairy sister is even more amazing, she's a real fairy!"
"Those two pendants they're wearing can move; they're real dragons and phoenixes, and very likely the only dragons and phoenixes in the world!"
After hearing what her child said, Xiaofei's mother's face showed no surprise, only worry!
Ye Zi and Luo Hengzhi also noticed that Xiao Fei's mother's gaze towards them had become even more unfriendly.
The next second, Xiaofei's mother walked directly up to Ye Zi and Luo Hengzhi and questioned, "He's still a child and doesn't understand anything. How could you lie to a child? And you're so young, why do you have to do these shameful and deceitful things?"
"Mom, what are you saying?" Xiao Fei quickly stopped his mother and apologized to Ye Zi and Luo Hengzhi, "I'm sorry, my mom hasn't been sleeping well these past few days and hasn't been feeling well."
Since she wasn't welcome, Luo Hengzhi got straight to the point: "It's nothing, we're the ones who are bothering you today. We're here mainly to see Pang Hewen, isn't he home?"
"You...you're here to see my dad too." Xiao Fei stood up, the smile on his face gone.
"Is your father not home?" Luo Hengzhi asked.
Xiao Fei shook his head: "Dad hasn't been home for a long time. He probably doesn't want me and Mom anymore. We don't know where he went. We can't reach him by phone. He must have run off with that vixen."
"Xiaofei." Xiaofei's mother quickly pressed Xiaofei's hand, signaling him not to say too much.
“Master, there is indeed a trace of fox spirit odor still lingering in their house, but the smell is almost gone. It must have been a fox spirit who came here about a month ago,” Fire Phoenix said.
"Yes, yes, the last time my dad came home was a month ago."
"Phoenix Chick, you finally spoke! Can you turn into a human again? I want to see a bird turn into a human with my own eyes." Xiao Fei's attention was drawn away by the fire phoenix that spoke, and the disappointment on his face instantly disappeared. He looked at the fire phoenix and smiled again.
Xiao Fei's mother's behavior was rather unusual. When she heard the furry creature on Ye Zi's body speak, she was neither frightened nor surprised. Instead, she stared blankly at the fire phoenix, her eyes even showing disgust.
Xiao Fei saw his younger sister staring at the fire phoenix and thought his mother was frightened, so he went over to comfort her: "Mom, don't be afraid. The fire phoenix is a phoenix, a divine bird, and it's different from a fox spirit."
Xiaofei's mother then looked away and forced a smile, saying, "It's nothing."
"Are you ready? Let's transform." Fire Phoenix wanted to eat the fruit on the table, and Dragon Baby kept staring at the big grapes on the table, completely unaware of Little Fly's mother's unusual emotions.
After saying that, Fire Phoenix and Dragon Baby transformed into human form together.
"Wow...so cool!" Xiao Fei was shocked to see the transformation into a human and excitedly stood up to clap his hands.
"Can we eat fruit?" Longbao, who loves grapes, asked, pointing to the juicy purple grapes on the table as soon as he appeared.
"Yes, of course." Xiao Fei pushed the grapes in front of Long Bao Huo Feng.
Xiaofei's mother was also seeing an animal turn into a human for the first time, and she was stunned and a little frightened.
But she quickly regained her composure: "You should leave as soon as you finish eating. Pang Hewen will never come back to this house, and you don't need to come looking for him anymore. My son and I just want to live a normal life."
"Mom, what are you doing? I told you they are my friends." Xiaofei asked his mother angrily when he heard her kicking them out.
Xiaofei's mother didn't say anything, and immediately turned around and went upstairs.
Ye Zi and Luo Hengzhi exchanged a glance; they didn't see anything unusual about Xiao Fei's mother.
It seems this visit really disrupted their normal life and they weren't welcomed.
"Don't worry about my mom, that's just her temper. Eat up, I'll get more when I'm done." Xiao Fei surrounded Long Bao and Huo Feng, peering inside. "The bodies you transformed into look so real! And aren't your Super True Gods even more awesome!"
Longbao: "Super True Form?"
"It's super big! You can see its super-sized true form in the live stream." Xiao Fei stretched out his arms to show it off. "It's covered in flames, it's incredibly cool! Can it transform now?"
Fire Phoenix: "No, it will burn your house down."
"Oh, never mind then." Xiao Fei didn't insist when he heard about burning down the house.
While eating, Longbao mumbled, "Why don't you tell me about your father's situation first? He might be in danger, and we need to find him as soon as possible."
"Is there danger?" Xiao Fei said, looking down. "It was his own choice to be in danger. He did something wrong and should pay the price."
Ye Zilu was shocked that Xiao Fei would say such a thing about his father.
Luo Hengzhi: "Your father once saved someone, so he has accumulated merit. Now someone is eyeing his merit. If you really want to know where your father might be, you can tell us. Otherwise, if he goes off to play, he might meet with misfortune."
Upon hearing about merit, Xiao Fei visibly sighed: "I know my father participated in rescue efforts before, but he must have squandered most of that merit. He can't possibly have any merit left now."
If Pang Hewen has no more merits, he shouldn't be targeted by Mahayana cultivators anymore, so why has Pang Hewen disappeared and become unreachable?
“In those years, perhaps because of the good deeds I did, my father’s business got better and better, and he became richer and richer. But after he got rich, my father changed. He didn’t love my mother anymore, and he didn’t love me anymore!” Xiao Fei said, his eyes starting to redden.
"Don't be sad, don't be sad." Longbao picked up a tissue and handed it to Xiaofei.
Fire Phoenix: "People's hearts change!"
Ye Zi: "Xiao Fei, you said a fox spirit came to your house, did you see her?"
Xiao Fei nodded: "That day, Mom hadn't come home from get off work yet, and I was home alone. Dad brought the vixen home, so I kicked them both out. Dad hasn't shown up since that day."
"Can you still remember what she looks like?" Ye Zi asked.
“I have her photos. I took them that day and sent them to my mom.” Xiao Fei took out his phone, opened his photo album, and showed them to Ye Zi.
Ye Zi recognized the person in the photo.
Ye Zi handed the photo to Luo Hengzhi: "I saw her at the Li family's house. She took the opportunity to run away the day Li Nao died."
Luo Hengzhi also recognized Xin Yue, who had appeared at the Li family's old residence: "She ran away? Her cultivation level is very high?"
Luo Hengzhi remembered that Yunqing Zhenren should also be at the Li family that day. If neither Yunqing Zhenren nor Ye Zi could capture it, it must be an unusual demon.
Ye Zi: "Not low, I didn't expect to end up here."
"Xiao Fei, how did you figure out her true form?" Ye Zi asked. Ye Zi had seen Xin Yue twice at the Li family's house, but she hadn't been able to tell that Xin Yue was her true form.
Xiaofei: "I knew she was a fox spirit as soon as I saw her. Just like when I saw the live stream that day, there was no one in the live stream room yet, but I could tell that the bird-turned-human live stream room was not simple, so I ran to call my friends to go and watch together. Sure enough, it was extraordinary."
"So you were the one who came in and left when we started the live stream. Do you know how long Huo Feng and I waited for you? We were so happy when you came, and even sadder when you left. In the end, food was the only thing that soothed our wounded hearts." Long Bao said, throwing a grape into his mouth and chewing it hard, as if he wanted to bite Xiao Fei.
Startled, Xiao Fei quickly got up to wash the grapes and brought them to Long Bao and Huo Feng as an apology.
Ye Zi asked Xiao Fei, "Did she say anything that day?"
Xiao Fei thought for a moment and said, "She did say one thing. She said my dad really raised a good son. She seemed to be praising me, but her eyes clearly looked like she wanted to eat me up."
"Come here, Xiaofei." Xiaofei's physique is unusual, and Ye Zi is going to test whether Xiaofei's physique is indeed special.
"What's wrong with my sister?" Xiaofei asked.
Longbao: "Let's see your physique, and see if you can become stronger?"
"Physical fitness? Great! My teachers at school all say I'm super healthy," Xiao Fei said, patting his chest.
Xiao Fei's mother suddenly came downstairs and pulled Xiao Fei away from Ye Zi: "Our Xiao Fei is perfectly normal. There's no need to test his physical condition. He's just an ordinary child. He'll grow up normally."
[What...is she afraid of!] Ye Zixin wondered.
Ye Zi opened her third eye and looked at Xiao Fei and Xiao Fei's mother. They were indeed two ordinary people with ordinary luck, but they were too ordinary, so something was wrong.
Ye Zi could sense that Xiao Fei was different; his aura shouldn't be so ordinary.
Xiaofei's house is located in a bustling area of the city center, but the entire community is quiet and peaceful. It is a detached house with its own yard, which is what people often call a good residence that is quiet in the midst of the hustle and bustle.
A good house nurtures people. This house has excellent feng shui and shows no signs of decline. Logically, Xiaofei and his mother should both be well-nourished by living here.
Ye Zi couldn't figure out what the problem was, so she looked at Luo Hengzhi and found that Luo Hengzhi was also looking at Xiao Fei and Xiao Fei's mother.
Xiaofei's mother panicked when the two saw her and immediately told them to leave: "We have something to do at home, so please leave."
