"Zheng-Fu!!!"

After Zheng-Fu told her that he would return tomorrow to hear her answer, he instantly vanished, leaving no trace of his presence. Even his existence could not be sensed. When Qi-Fu-Er regained her composure, she called out for him, but it was too late.

Flap!!!

Suddenly, the door to the room swung open, and two elder monsters rushed in anxiously. The first elder spoke with a worried expression, "Princess! What happened? Why did you remove your veil?"

"Nothing at all. I was just playing with Younger Sister Luo-Qing, and the veil accidentally fell off," Qi-Er instantly replied with her casual expression, as though unimpressed that they hurriedly came in.

"Phew! As long as it's nothing serious, that's good, Princess. Please be more careful in the future. If assassins are nearby, they could immediately realize you're here, and you might be in danger," the second elder monster said, his voice full of worry.

"You two need not worry. With both of you protecting me so closely, no one can harm me. No matter how skilled those assassins are, they won't escape your detection," Qi-Er said, teasing the two elder monsters.

"Even so, I still think—"

"I'm tired. I want to rest. There's nothing to worry about, so you both can leave. Younger Sister Luo-Qing and I would like some privacy," Qi-Er, growing weary of their presence, attempted to dismiss them from the room.

"Yes, Princess. We will take our leave now," the two elder monsters said politely before exiting the room without further protest.

Ten minutes passed...

Phew!

"I hope the elders aren't still around," Luo-Qing let out a long breath of relief. She had been tense, fearing that the elders might discover what had just happened. After ensuring they were alone, she turned to Qi-Fu-Er, ready to ask a question.

"That's right, it was him," Fu-Er suddenly spoke, preempting Luo-Qing's question.

"How is that possible? How did he get here? Is he the same person from the Silver Body Clan? How did he evade the elders' detection?" Luo-Qing blurted out in panic, asking a series of questions.

"Which question should I answer first? You're asking too much!" Fu-Er replied, teasing her sister.

"Let's start with the most important question. Is he the same person as that young man?" Luo-Qing, calming down, focused on the question she wanted answered first.

"I don't know either, because he didn't tell me."

Ah!

Luo-Qing's expression shifted at her sister's response. It was as good as not answering at all. But upon reflection, Luo-Qing realized that since Zheng-Fu had appeared and disappeared so suddenly, her sister likely didn't know much more.

"So the other questions won't be answered either. In that case, I'll ask him myself tomorrow," Luo-Qing decided, understanding that further questioning would yield no more information.

"Let's do that. I want to know too," Qi-Fu-Er said, curious about how Zheng-Fu had come here, where he had hidden, and how did he know she was here. Her questions were even more numerous than Luo-Qing's, but she kept those feelings to herself. Still, she was convinced that today's Zheng-Fu was truly her Zheng-Fu.

Back to the two elder monsters...

"At first, I could clearly sense another presence besides the two princesses, but that presence vanished without a trace when we entered the room," the first elder monster said.

"I felt it too. This person has incredible camouflage skills, and their energy level is not inferior to that of the Monster King. Fortunately, they didn't do anything. On the contrary, I noticed that the Princess seemed happy, not suffering as before."

"Could the person we sensed be His Majesty, the Monster King?" the first elder suddenly speculated that the person they had sensed earlier was the Monster King.

"That's impossible. I remember His Majesty's energy waves well, and he wouldn't be here, especially with the Demon Tribe raids at the border. His Majesty is likely occupied with those matters," the second elder monster replied firmly.

"That's true. I forgot about that. So, who could that person be? Could it be the one Princess Fu-Er always talks about and misses?"

"That's even more impossible. The three elder dragons mentioned that the boy's energy level hadn't even reached the Immortal Soul stage. It's impossible for him to have become as strong as His Majesty in just a few months," the second elder monster dismissed the idea outright.

It would be too far-fetched for any human to make such a massive leap in power in such a short time. Even for those of the Monster Tribe, reaching the Divine Emperor stage would take decades.

And based on the story told by the three elder dragons who brought Qi-Fu-Er back to the Hell Region, it made it even more impossible. Therefore, the second elder monster immediately dismissed this idea.

"Regardless of who that person was, as long as they mean no harm to the princess and us, that's all that matters," the second elder concluded, cutting off the conversation. He was exhausted, still recovering from their lost energy. Knowing that the princess was safe brought him some relief.

"Yes, let's focus on restoring our energy to full strength."

…………….

Back to Zheng-Fu...

After leaving Qi-Fu-Er's room, Zheng-Fu immediately returned to the Silver Body Clan to inform Jin-Tian that he had found her even though they had only been together for a short time.

Unfortunately, he couldn't stay longer, as he didn't want to cause Qi-Fu-Er any trouble. Moreover, he needed to remain in the city until the upcoming maneuver competition, so he could visit her whenever he wished.

The next morning...

At the Silver Body Clan, in Zheng-Fu's magic building...

"Big Brother, we've managed to train the Ten Direction Monster Prana Palm skill up to the late second level. We think we'll reach the third level and even the highest level soon," Diao said happily as he and Den achieved the Ten Direction Monster Prana Palm skill at the late second level.

"Well done. You've both done a great job. Your energy levels are stable now, so you should focus on cultivation to further increase your power and step into the Divine Emperor stage within the next two months," Zheng-Fu praised the two brothers, encouraging them to continue their training.

After two months, Zheng-Fu planned to take them to the capital city of the Monster Kingdom. He intended to participate in the maneuver competition, which he had heard about from the two elder monsters. It was the best way to avoid conflict with Qi-Fu-Er's father.

However, Zheng-Fu was unsure if things would go as smoothly as he hoped. There were two potential issues: first, he wasn't a member of the Monster Tribe, and second, even if he won the maneuver, there was no guarantee it wouldn't cause problems afterward. But this approach was still better than kidnapping Qi-Fu-Er.

"Jin-Tian, you'll come with me today. You don't need to stay here to train."

"Yes, sir!"

"Big Brother, where are you going?" Diao asked, surprised that Zheng-Fu was taking Jin-Tian along, as he usually went out alone, so it piqued his interest even more.

"I'm heading to the Monster Liquor Clan to collect on a bet, and then I'll stop by the Enchanted Monster Tavern to stretch a bit," Zheng-Fu replied with a smile before walking away, with Jin-Tian following closely behind.

"Big Brother's going to the Enchanted Monster Tavern to stretch? Is he planning to join the tavern's maneuver?"

"You shouldn't ask too many questions. Big Brother might get annoyed, and then... well, both of us might end up seeing our ancestors sooner than expected."

Den, seeing that his younger brother liked to talk a lot and ask many questions, couldn't help but warn him. He reminded his brother not to forget that Zheng-Fu was not truly of the same tribe as them, nor was he part of their family. Everything that had happened was because Zheng-Fu wanted to accomplish something.

"Got it, Big Brother. I'll remember."

…………….

Upon leaving the Silver Body Clan, Zheng-Fu headed straight for the Monster Liquor Clan to visit the clan leader and collect his bet. Upon arrival, he was stopped by a guard, but the clan leader soon came out to greet him personally.

The guard who blocked Zheng-Fu was punished, and Zheng-Fu entered the clan for a friendly conversation with the leader, causing some within the clan to wonder who he was and why he seemed so close to their leader.

Only those in the special seats at the party knew what had happened that night. Even those who had attended didn't know much about the events that had unfolded. The party brought Zheng-Fu and the Monster Liquor Clan Leader closer.

As for the bet, Zheng-Fu only requested five large jars of Dream-Creating Monster Liquor, much to the clan leader's surprise and relief, as he had expected to negotiate a higher number.

After receiving the hundred-year-old Dream-Creating Monster Liquor, Zheng-Fu didn't linger. He quickly bade farewell to the clan leader and headed to the Enchanted Monster Tavern, eager to obtain his identity badge as soon as possible.
