Chapter 720: Wei Family Drama (I)
Chapter 720: Wei Family Drama (I)
It was a tale as old as time, a tale of family drama.
Wei Peng was the first miss of the Wei Clan, the oldest daughter of the current clan head Wei Yang. Her mother also happened to be a direct descendant of Immortal Embracing Python Mei Qiaofeng along the matrilineal bloodline, meaning that the Wei Clan had a very close relationship with the immortal lord of the snake faction.
This was why Wei Peng was able to become a direct disciple of Mei Qiaofeng. Even though her talent was not the best, with her having only recently reached the 10th Level of the Spirit Initiate Realm while already being thirty-nine, she was still able to rely on her familial relationships from her mother’s side to learn the snake demon transformation art that made Mei Qiaofeng famous across the land.
It had to be said the number of people who knew this secret art could be counted on two hands. And those alive before the snake lord incident could be counted on one hand. Thus, for both the lion faction and eagle faction that wanted to swallow the snake faction, Wei Peng and the Wei Clan became a tasty target.
Regarding this aspect, the eagle faction had already invested greatly and for a long time. While Wei Peng’s parents were both firmly in the snake lord’s camp, it was well known that her father, Wei Yang, had a large number of friends among the eagle faction. Whether it was for drinking parties, hunting trips, or gambling sessions, he would often be accompanied by nobles from the eagle faction.
In the past, when friction between the three factions was not as severe, such friendships were common and did not attract attention. And when friction arose, Wei Yang did not abandon those old friends due to being a sentimental and muddle-headed person.
The investment started to pay off when it was time for Wei Yang to take concubines. Somehow or another, he became interested in the daughter of a minor clan under the eagle lord’s faction. Nobody knew if they were introduced by one of his old friends or if he was simply captivated by her beauty. Either way, a member of the opposing family entered the Wei Clan as a concubine, just like that.
And it didn’t end there, one concubine was followed by another and then a third. Currently, Wei Peng, who could trace her lineage all the way to the snake lord, had to call three women from the eagle faction stepmothers.
This matter was already strange but it was complicated by the fact that Wei Peng was her mother’s only child. Although Beast God Sanctum was not a strictly patriarchal society, it was largely dominated by male cultivators at the highest positions. Not having a son was a big disappointment and one of the main reasons that her father favored the concubines far more than her mother. They were young, they were beautiful, and they gave him one son each, another highly suspicious coincidence.
In the end, when the snake lord incident was about to go down, Wei Peng’s father gave her a choice. He told her that the Wei Clan would switch allegiances to the eagle faction. As his oldest child, Wei Peng would naturally be spared. However, her mother would not and would have to die.Wei Peng had a choice. She could choose to stay loyal to her master, not reveal any secrets, and lose her mother. She would also be locked up in a cold prison, to never see daylight for the rest of her life. Or, she could choose family over her master, save her mother, and hand over the secrets of the snake demon transformation art.

“I see,” Chen Wentian said with a serious tone, “You made the choice to save your mother and save yourself.”
“It’s not like that!” Wei Peng pleaded, “Actually, my master already anticipated that the Wei Clan would try to play some tricks. That’s why my snake demon transformation art is still incomplete and why I was never able to progress to the lesser realms. Everybody in the city could learn the same art I learned and it wouldn’t matter.”
“You… you sacrificed your talent and cultivation?” He asked.
“I did. In order to not betray the two most important people in my life, my master and my mother, I could only choose that.”
“… And what about your father who willingly betrayed the snake lord? Who knows how many secrets he passed to the eagle faction over the years? It would be difficult to judge just how much damage he managed to do.”
Wei Peng’s expression hardened, “My mother has told me that she no longer has a husband. Then, naturally, I no longer have a father.”
Chen Wentian nodded, “Good, I am satisfied with those words. There will come a day when the snake faction is reborn, when Immortal Embracing Python Mei Qiaofeng can walk through the east gates of Beast God City and everyone will bow in her presence. That’s the day that you may call her master once again.”
Wei Peng bowed again, “Thank you, senior brother.”
He chuckled, “Alright, alright. Serious matters aside, I see you are still seriously injured. You’ve been hiding it all this time. Don’t worry, this medicinal salve is really effective at healing physical injuries. Come, I’ll help you apply it.”
“Senior brother… don’t… I can do it…” She muttered, her voice becoming smaller and smaller.
He waved a hand, “How can I let you do that? You’re injured. Be obedient, lay on your stomach.”
Wei Peng mumbled something but did as he asked. Although he was the senior brother, their ages were about the same. Ignoring seniority based on status, they were a man and woman in a room together. The ambiguous nature of the situation was enough to make anyone blush and think of stray thoughts.
Chen Wentian directly started taking off her garments. Ignoring her weak protests, he pulled down her gown so that her bare back was exposed. There were many large purple bruises where she had been stomped on by the opponents’ hooves. There were also long gashes as well as puncture wounds from their horns. If those two perverted bulls had not been so eager to fight Li Yuechan, We Peng’s life would have been in danger.
He sighed and with a shake of his head, began in earnest. He spread the medicinal paste directly on her wounds in a thick layer. He then used his spiritual energy as well as the secret methods of Benevolent Hands to help absorb the healing effects.
He went slowly, first with her back, then her shoulders and neck. He also massaged her arms all the way to her fingers.
“Senior brother…” She groaned.
Half in pain and half in comfort, she could only surrender to his touch. Qu Jing was a direct descendant of the eagle lord. She only called him senior brother in the past out of respect for their difference in status. But now, with her master’s badge as proof, he had suddenly become her true senior brother, someone dear to her.
“Mmmm…”
She was melting under his touch. It felt so good.
“Turn over.”
She did as he asked even before she realized what she had done. But before she could regret it, his large hands were already upon her. They started on her stomach, gently rubbing the bruises there until she was moaning uncontrollably. She didn’t even notice it when he moved upward.
Wei Peng’s breasts were a little underdeveloped for a woman of her size. It wasn’t to say that she had a bad figure. It was just that the proportions were not ideal. But there was also beauty in imperfection.
Chen Wentian enjoyed the feeling of her breasts, not as small and perky as Li Qingcheng but not as full and round as Wu Qianyu. He paid special attention to them, making sure that any and all wounds would receive enough medicine to heal completely. It would be a shame if she was left with a single blemish.
When he was finally done playing with her breasts, he moved downward and made to pull her gown off completely.
“Ahh… senior brother…” Wei Peng cried out weakly, “Don’t…”
