The girl turned her head and saw a face that was both stern and kind.

"Father, you... why are you here?" The girl was somewhat uneasy; this runaway was the most rebellious thing she had ever done in her life.

So when she saw her father appear, she felt both happy and worried in her heart.

The Divine Emperor looked at his daughter, who was like a frightened little rabbit, and sighed slightly, gently stroking her hair and said, "Silly child, if you don't like Chen Xun, you could have told me. Why run away from home? If I weren't around, how dangerous would that be!"

The girl's lips pursed with a hint of grievance, she said, "Father, I heard you've already agreed to Uncle Ling Wei's request. I thought you didn't like me anymore! I just..."

There was a complexity in the Divine Emperor's eyes: "In your heart, do you think your father is someone who would disregard your happiness to act arbitrarily?"

The girl shook her head. She had eight brothers; she was her father's only daughter, so she had been incredibly spoiled by the Divine Emperor since she was young. Precisely because of this, when she learned that her father wanted to betroth her to General Ling Wei's second son, she impulsively ran away from home!

"Awooo!" The alpha wolf of the Moon Worshiping Wolves saw the two people in front of it ignoring them and got a bit angry. It growled lowly, and the wolf pack launched another attack.

"Hmm?" The Divine Emperor's brow furrowed, and with just a light glance, all the giant wolves bled from their seven orifices and fell to the ground, the alpha wolf being no exception.

The oppressive force of a Pinnacle Master of the Azure Sky Realm, even just a glance, was not something these beasts could withstand! They attempted to attack Princess Mingyu, but in the Divine Emperor's heart, they were already sentenced to death.

"Let's go, don't be headstrong; if you don't like it, we won't marry!" The Divine Emperor stroked his daughter's hair, dotingly said.

Princess Mingyu hesitated for a moment and said, "But... will Uncle General Ling Wei be angry if we refuse him like this?"

The Divine Emperor laughed: "My Mingyu has grown up, thinking about your father. What's the matter, have you changed your mind now and want to marry Chen Xun?"

"No way!" Princess Mingyu shook her head quickly and said, "I'm just worried..."

"There's nothing to worry about, for I am your father!" The Divine Emperor smiled gently: "It's not that simple for Chen Xun to marry my Mingyu. Leave this matter to me, and I will certainly find you a suitable husband."

Princess Mingyu nodded and suddenly realized: "Father, I don't want to marry anyone. I want to stay by you and mother's side forever!"

The Divine Emperor laughed heartily: "Okay, if you don't want to marry, then don't marry. Our little princess has the final say. Is that okay? Let's go home!"

Princess Mingyu hugged her father's arm, a happy smile on her face. This was the father she was familiar with!

But in a place where she couldn't see, the Divine Emperor's brow slightly furrowed.

General Ling Wei personally begged for his silly son. The Divine Emperor knew it was pressure on him! The Northern Borders of the Divine Realm, suppressed by General Ling Wei, were becoming more and more turbulent. If he were forceful in refusal...

"Ling Wei has become more and more arrogant in recent years. Compared to Divine Might, he is indeed not someone content with the status quo!" The Divine Emperor mused, "However, that's good; it's time to give Ling Wei a wake-up call with this opportunity!"

"Oh, Father, let's quickly go to Granny Hua's. Don't let Granny Hua beat Erha to death!" Princess Mingyu suddenly remembered Erha and said urgently.

The Divine Emperor's face showed a strange expression: "I think you don't need to worry about that..."

Holding Mingyu's hand, the Divine Emperor took a step forward, and they arrived at the place where Granny Hua and Erha were entangled.

To Princess Mingyu's shock, although Erha was bruised all over, it wasn't dead but rather lively and bouncing. In contrast, Granny Hua was panting heavily, her eyes full of incredulity.

"Your Majesty! I am shamed for not fulfilling Your Majesty's command." Seeing the Divine Emperor's arrival, a trace of guilt flashed in Granny Hua's eyes. The Divine Emperor's appearance meant that the princess must have encountered life-threatening danger just now, and she couldn't even deal with a dog. This made Granny Hua very uneasy.

The Divine Emperor said lightly: "This matter is not your fault. This dog..."

Erha felt very uneasy when it saw the Divine Emperor's gaze fall on it. It timidly turned to leave, tucking its tail.

"Did I say you could leave?" The Divine Emperor smiled slightly, stretching his hand into the void, Erha's body seemed locked by an invisible force, dragging it directly in front of the Divine Emperor.

"Awuuuu!" Erha lay on the ground, with a pitiful look of 'I'm so scared, please don't kill me'.

"Father!" Princess Mingyu shouted uneasily, "Erha didn't hurt me!"

The Divine Emperor said, "Rest assured, I won't hurt it. I'm just curious. Clearly, it's an extremely ordinary mutt. Why does it have such miraculous abilities? Even someone at the early stage of the Azure Sky Realm couldn't do anything to it?"

Saying this, the Divine Emperor lightly tapped his finger, a purple light falling on Erha. A moment later, he withdrew his finger, a look of surprise and understanding in his eyes: "I see!"

"What exactly is happening?" Princess Mingyu was also very curious.

The Divine Emperor smiled but didn't tell Mingyu. After all, with Mingyu's current realm, even if he explained, she wouldn't understand, and it wouldn't be good for her realm.

"Mingyu calls you Erha, so I shall call you Erha too!" The Divine Emperor said to Erha, "I now give you two choices; one, recognize my daughter Princess Mingyu as your master and return with us to the Divine Court. Two, you can refuse, but I will send you to the Mythical Beast Pavilion of the Divine Court. Choose."

Erha cautiously glanced at the Divine Emperor, as if weighing the pros and cons of these two choices.

Princess Mingyu exclaimed, "Father, the Mythical Beast Pavilion is that laboratory that studies mythical beasts, right? I heard they like dissecting the beasts. Can you not send Erha there?"

Erha shuddered; this middle-aged man was so evil, he still wanted to cut it into pieces.

It quickly crawled before Princess Mingyu, wagging its tail fiercely, a fawning smile on its dog face.

The Divine Emperor laughed, "Looks like you've made a wise choice. In that case, sign a master-servant contract with my daughter."

Erha let out a helpless sigh, opening its mouth with a droplet of purple blood flying out, stopping before Princess Mingyu.

Princess Mingyu looked at her father, then drew a Contract Formation in the air with her right hand, biting her finger to draw out a drop of blood: "Condense!"

The two blood droplets merged together, flew into the Contract Formation, which then issued a ray of light, shooting into Erha's forehead, leaving a black mark.
