Beware of the Long Family's Reach

As Zhang Wei lay in his bed, his thoughts were consumed by the valuable information Madam Chi had provided him. Madam Chi, or Long Lan, was actually a member of the powerful Long family. The Long family possessed immense power in both the mortal and immortal worlds and was divided into two factions. The main faction, led by the direct bloodline of the Long family, held the most important duties, while the other faction consisted of servants, those who had married into the family, and recruited cultivators responsible for less crucial tasks such as guarding mines or shops.

Madam Chi's family belonged to the main faction, and as the direct bloodline of the current patriarch, they were given preferential treatment by staying in the mortal world. They had access to more resources than even the core disciples of the Long family, making it a strategic decision made by the patriarch, who arranged for his own descendants to carry out this work. Madam Chi's father, Long Fang, would eventually return to the immortal world and take on the position of an elder when he reached a certain level.

Zhang Wei learned in detail about the characteristics of the Long family members. Long Feng, the head of the mortal world Long family, was a tall and imposing man with broad shoulders and a chiseled jawline. His sharp, almond-shaped eyes gleamed with intelligence and shrewdness, and his thin lips were often curled into a stern expression. He exuded an aura of power and authority that commanded respect from all those around him.

Xuehua, on the other hand, was a vision of ethereal beauty. Her white, smooth skin and bright, vivid blue eyes seemed to glow with an inner light. Her nose was delicate and straight, and her lips were full and pink like rose petals. Her most striking feature, however, was her ample and shapely chest, making her the envy of all women and the object of desire for all men.

Their four daughters were equally stunning in their own ways. Long Mei, the eldest daughter, had a face like a delicate porcelain doll. Her high cheekbones, small, straight nose, and sparkling eyes shone like jewels. Her black hair fell in long, silky tresses down her back, and her slender figure was accentuated by her long, graceful limbs.

Madam Chi or Long Lan was the second daughter, and Zhang Wei had already seen how beautiful she was.

Long Yun, the third daughter, had an exotic beauty that was both alluring and mysterious. Her eyes were a deep, dark brown, like pools of liquid chocolate, and her lips were full and pouty. Her hair was jet-black and silky smooth, and her skin had a golden-brown hue, like the color of honey. Her figure was lithe and sinewy, with long, toned legs and a flat, toned stomach.

Long Rou, the youngest daughter, embodied youthful innocence and beauty. Her face was round and cherubic, with a small, pert nose and a pair of rosy cheeks that glowed with vitality. Her eyes were bright and expressive, a deep, soulful brown that radiated warmth and kindness. Her hair was a rich, chestnut-brown, and her figure was petite and delicate, with a small waist and slender limbs.

Long Jie, the eldest son, was a gentle and kind-hearted young man with a round, friendly face and a warm, genuine smile. His eyes were a soft, warm brown, and his hair was a thick, unruly mess of black curls that framed his face in a charming and endearing way. He was tall and broad-shouldered, with a muscular build that made him look strong and capable.

Long Tao, the second son, was the complete opposite of Jie. He is tall and lean, with a sharp, angular face and piercing blue eyes that seem to gaze right through you. His hair is jet-black and styled in a slick, spiky manner that gives him a rebellious and dangerous look. He exudes an air of power and confidence that makes him both feared and respected by all who cross his path.

Each of the four Long family daughters had married into another powerful immortal family branch in the mortal world. Lady Mei, the eldest daughter, was married to the head of the Jade Moon Family. Lady Lan, also known as Madam Chi, was married to the head of the Chi Star Light Family. Lady Yun had married the head of the Azure Cloud Family, while the youngest daughter, Lady Rou, had married the head of the Scarlet Flame Family.

Long Jie had entered into a marriage with a woman of great influence, Hua Ling, from the illustrious Hua family in the capital. Hua Ling, a woman of grace and poise in her forties, possessed an ageless beauty that belied her years. Her jet-black tresses flowed down her back in a loose braid, and her eyes, a captivating shade of jade green, held a mesmerizing allure. They had been blessed with two daughters, both cherubic and under the age of ten, and a son who had just begun to cultivate his immortal abilities at the tender age of 17. Despite the disparity in age, Hua Ling's son appeared more akin to her younger brother than her offspring, a testament to her youthful radiance and charm.

In contrast, Long Tao, notorious for his merciless and uncompromising nature, had joined in union with the captivating and alluring immortal, Chen Mei. Her luscious brown locks cascaded down her back in a wave of splendor, and her plump lips seemed to beckon a tender embrace. Chen Mei's eyes sparkled with a profound intelligence and wit, and her laughter was as bright as the sun on a cloudy day. A gifted healer, her touch could mend even the most profound of wounds, and her sagacious counsel was coveted by all who were privy to it. Long Tao and Chen Mei were blessed with two sons, equally fierce and power-hungry like their father, as Long Tao sought out new methods to augment their family's dominion and wealth.

Despite their differences, both Long brothers were dedicated to the Long family and held powerful positions within their respective immortal factions. Long Jie was the leader of the Dragon Warriors, a powerful immortal army that protected the Long family's interests, while Long Tao was the head of the Black Lotus assassins, a secret society that carried out the Long family's dirty work.

Zhang Wei was well aware of the power and influence of Madam Chi's family and made plans to be extra cautious in his interactions with them. He knew that any misstep could mean the end of his plans to obtain their wealth and power. However, he was also curious about Madam Chi's family after hearing about the beauty of her mother, sisters, and two sisters-in-law from Madam Chi herself. Zhang Wei asked Madam Chi how they could all be so beautiful even though they should be at least in their late thirties. Madam Chi explained that they cultivated a special cultivation that could help them keep their body in the most beautiful stage, and Zhang Wei's doubts were all gone. But with that, he also had another sinister idea in his mind.

As Zhang Wei contemplated his sinister idea, he fell asleep with a wicked smile on his lips. The following morning, Madam Chi, followed by Zhang Wei and the maid, boarded the carriage. Four guards took their usual positions, and the carriage set off on its journey to Fire Dragon City. After a week of travel, Zhang Wei finally caught sight of the majestic city's outline as he lifted the curtain. He knew they had arrived at their destination. They entered the city, and the carriage made a beeline for the Long family. Finally, they stopped at the Long family's gate, and the four guards got down first, followed by Zhang Wei and the maid, and finally, Madam Chi.
