Celestial 'War God' Return

Ning Zhiya sat atop Cui Jing’s python in contemplation. She stole several glances at Tang Xiao, admiring his ability to tame one of the three overlord beasts in the forest. Even with her current cultivation, she couldn’t do that; in fact, she was terrified of the python.

Tang Xiao noticed her repeated glances. "Is there something you want to ask me?"

"Huff—" Ning Zhiya took a deep breath. "How did you manage to tame her? Her cultivation is already at the Peak Tyrant Level, and she will probably break through to the Lower Saint Level in the future. Moreover, your cultivation is still at the Lower King Realm, yet she is so obedient to you—which is hard to believe."

"Haha," Tang Xiao softly laughed, rubbing Cui Jing’s head. "Normally, my cultivation is not enough to make her obedient to me, but the incident a few days ago made our relationship very close, and she has been obedient to me since then."

"Incident?"

"A few days after Jing’er saved me from the beast rampage, two nameless cultivators chased her and poisoned her. They wanted to capture her and take her away from this forest."

Ning Zhiya was surprised to learn that two nameless cultivators had dared to attack the Emerald Scale Python.

"Fortunately, my clansmen and I were in the area at the time, and we managed to save her from their pursuit. Besides, I also removed the poison from her body, which made her feel indebted to me."

"How did you get rid of the poison in her body? Are you a poison expert or doctor?" Ning Zhiya asked curiously.

After all, Tang Xiao was so young, and he was not even thirty years old.

Tang Xiao smiled at her. "As I said yesterday, my Feng Clan lives by hunting beasts and opening a restaurant. Hunting beasts requires us to stay in the open, so we must be prepared to face various risks, including poisoning. Therefore, my clan members learn a lot about poison and medicine, so we can treat ourselves if we are poisoned or injured."

"I see." Ning Zhiya nodded in understanding. "Does that mean your medical skills and your understanding of poisons have already reached a high level?"

"I don’t dare say that my understanding of the two has reached a high level, but I am confident in my abilities," Tang Xiao answered modestly. "Even though I’m still young, I’ve learned quite a bit about poisons and medicine, and I am capable of treating some poisons and injuries. As for serious injuries and poisoning, I still have to rely on my clansmen to heal them."

"Even though you say that, I can say that your courage and ability are extraordinary. This Emerald Scale Python is one of the three overlord beasts in this forest, and almost no cultivators dare to approach her. Even with my current cultivation, I don’t dare to approach her directly." Ning Zhiya looked at Cui Jing, who seemed to be enjoying Tang Xiao rubbing her head. "If it weren’t for that teleportation formation, I wouldn’t have the courage to approach her, let alone enter her cave."

"Haha," Tang Xiao laughed softly. "Even though Jing’er looks ferocious and has a gigantic body, she is kind-hearted, and she will not attack humans first."

Ning Zhiya suddenly remembered her son; she took Sun Weitian’s life jade from her storage ring. Her expression was filled with worry as the light on the life jade was getting fainter, indicating that her son’s condition was becoming increasingly worrisome.

Tang Xiao glanced at the life jade. "Does that jade belong to your son?"

"Yes," Ning Zhiya answered weakly and put the life jade back in. "My son went to this forest with his fiancée, but he met a beautiful woman and was captivated by her. He chased after her and got separated from his fiancée, and I heard the news that he fell into Ci Xing’s hands."

"Oh?" Tang Xiao raised an eyebrow. "Aren’t your son’s actions really outrageous? He came to this forest with his fiancée, but he left her and went after another woman."

Ning Zhiya couldn’t help but sigh at that. "In the past, my son was a good man, and he was loyal to his fiancée. One day he changed, and I couldn’t understand him anymore. Since then, he spent his time with all kinds of women, which infuriated his fiancée."

"Money, status, and women are the three biggest temptations for men." Ning Zhiya agreed with Tang Xiao. "When men have money and status, they become easily tempted by women. Some men can restrain themselves from that temptation, but others choose to embrace it."

Ning Zhiya turned to him. "What about you? Will you choose to restrain yourself from the temptation? Or will you choose to embrace the temptation?"

"I won’t restrain myself, and I will embrace the temptation with open arms." Ning Zhi raised an eyebrow. "In fact, I’m not a faithful man, and I have two wives by my side."

"Huh?" Ning Zhiya was not surprised to hear that a man could have two or more wives, but Tang Xiao was still too young. "Do you really have two wives?"

"Yes," Tang Xiao nodded. "Unlike your son’s relationship with his fiancée, I never lie to any of my wives. In fact, they live under the same roof, and they train together every day, so their relationship is harmonious."

"Oh?" Ning Zhiya was curious. "Is the relationship between your wives really as harmonious as you say?"

Tang Xiao took out his device and displayed the relationship between Tang Yin and Xing Xing. "Look at them; they are really harmonious, right?"

"Both of them are still young, and their relationship is so harmonious." Ning Zhiya looked at the two women with awe. "How did you meet them? It’s not easy for a woman to share a husband with another woman, let alone maintain a good relationship with each other."

"They have known each other since childhood, and their relationship is quite close."

"Oh? They’re childhood friends?"

"Yes." Tang Xiao nodded. "Before I married my second wife, I told her that I already had a wife, and I didn’t force her to accept me. However, she was determined to be with me, and she decided to accept my status."

"Your second wife is truly generous, you know?"

"Haha," Tang Xiao laughed softly. "You’re right. My second wife is indeed generous, and she’s willing to accept my status without a second thought."

"You’re a lucky man; your two wives get along so well," Ning Zhiya said with a bitter smile. "In fact, my husband also has two wives, but our relationship is like a hot furnace ready to explode at any time. Fortunately, I have many advantages that make my in-laws side with me; otherwise, I would have long lost my position."

Tang Xiao looked at her in surprise. "Is your husband’s second wife also a member of the second-grade clan like you?"

"No," Ning Zhiya shook her head. "My husband’s second wife came from the Zhan Clan in the Song Kingdom, and that clan was one of the prominent clans there. However, her abilities were too lacking, and she was also quite lazy, so I was able to snatch the position of first wife from her."

Tang Xiao paused for a moment and recalled Huangfu Lingxuan’s story; he remembered that the Zhan Clan had ties with the Song and Shangguan Clans. Shangguan Qingyin’s second son, Song Tianlin, was the future husband of Zhan Yiran, who was also the young miss of the Zhan Clan.

"Why did you suddenly fall silent?"

"Nothing." Tang Xiao shook his head. "Your married life doesn’t seem easy."

"You’re right," Ning Zhiya sighed. "Since I married my husband, I can’t let my guard down, and I have to be vigilant every day. If I let my guard down and make a mistake, his second wife will stab me in the back, and I will lose everything. After all, my Ning Clan is only a second-grade clan, and her Zhan Clan is a prominent clan."

"You should have other advantages over your husband’s second wife, right?"

Ning Zhiya nodded. "One of the advantages I have is that I have a son, and my husband’s second wife only has one daughter. Unfortunately, my situation has turned complicated since my son fell into Ci Xing’s hands, so I have to find him and save him as soon as possible. If my son dies, that woman will make a move, and I will lose my position."

’I pity you, but I can’t let your son live, and I hope Ci Xing will kill him soon.’ Tang Xiao looked ahead. "The beast rampage seems to be over."

"Hmm?" Ning Zhiya also looked ahead. "You seem right; the situation in this forest has become much calmer than the past two days. Unfortunately, there are too many traps in this forest, and I don’t have precise information on the location of Ci Xing’s lair. If I waste too much time, I’m afraid it will be too late to save my son."

Tang Xiao glanced at Ning Zhiya before speaking to Cui Jing via voice transmission. ’Jing’er, can you contact Ci Xing and ask her to kill Sun Weitian?’

Chu Jing looked at Tang Xiao before nodding slightly, and she immediately contacted Ci Xing to convey his request.

Tang Xiao laughed inwardly after Cui Jing told him about it. "What would you do if your son died at Ci Xing’s hands?"

"I don’t know." Ning Zhiya’s face turned gloomy. "If I lose my son, I will lose everything, and my life will no longer have any meaning. If that woman takes action against me, I’m not confident I can handle her, and her Zhan Clan will pressure me to hand over my position to her."

"If you lose your position in the Sun Clan, your Ning Clan will also suffer."

"Yes," Ning Zhiya sighed again. "That’s why I can’t lose my position, or my clansmen will suffer again."
