"It's not just you taking a bet; I'm betting on you as well."

Zheng-Fu, who hadn't gone far, spoke up while watching Wen-Xi with a sly smile at the corner of his mouth. He knew why Wen-Xi was being so kind to him, and that was the same reason he was reciprocating. Both parties hoped for mutual benefits.

After leaving the trading area, Zheng-Fu returned immediately to the Silver Body Clan to take a refreshing shower before meeting his beautiful wife that night. He had only one more shichen and a half until the time they had agreed upon.

At the mansion of Qi-Fu-Er and Luo-Qing...

Qi-Fu-Er and Luo-Qing were happily dressing each other, preparing for Zheng-Fu's arrival that evening. Luo-Qing was especially delighted to see her elder sister smiling and joyful. As long as her sister, who was always kind to her, was happy, she was happy too.

"Elder Sister, you look so beautiful today, you know? If only you'd take off this silly veil, you'd look even more stunning!" Luo-Qing praised her elder sister while combing Fu-Er's hair, a broad smile on her face.

"You talk too much. You're no less beautiful than me. In fact, you're younger, and your beauty hasn't fully blossomed yet. In the future, you'll surely be even prettier than your elder sister. Any man who wins your heart will be very fortunate!" Fu-Er complimented Luo-Qing in return. The two sisters had been close since childhood, so they shared a deep bond with no jealousy between them.

They loved and admired each other greatly.

Fu-Er's compliment made Luo-Qing blush unconsciously, and a picture of a young man flashed in her mind—Jin-Tian, the monster who had transformed into a human and often appeared beside Zheng-Fu.

…………….

When Zheng-Fu returned to the Silver Body Clan, the guards at the entrance showed respect to him as soon as they saw him, which was completely different from when he had first arrived. However, he didn't concern himself with this. He simply nodded to the guards and walked slowly through the grand entrance of the Silver Body Clan.

"Did you hear that Young Master Fu-Zheng was able to defeat the young master from the Spirit-Hunting Wolf Group, who is at the first level of the Divine Emperor stage?"

"Is that true?"

"Yes! I was sent to the market and happened to overhear it. Not only did Young Master Fu-Zheng defeat the martial master from the Spirit-Hunting Wolf Group, but he did so within just two stances!"

"Really? He defeated a martial master at the first level of the Divine Emperor stage in just two stances? How strong is Young Master's energy level?"

"I'd like to know that too. Since Young Master arrived, our clan has changed a lot—whether in social status, power, or finances, everything has improved. Even the energy levels of the clan members have increased."

"Exactly. Look at the two brothers, Den and Diao! They were once ordinary young men, often scolded by the clan, but now they're famous and idols to many youths. Even we are impressed by them."

"True… I regret the way I used to treat them. I wonder if they remember the past or if they hold any grudges."

Those last words instantly changed the expressions of the guards, who had been happily chatting. They had done many unpleasant things to the brothers, Den and Diao. Now, the brothers were close to Zheng-Fu, whose energy level was so high that it was hard to perceive. The guards felt guilty when discussing them.

…………….

Time passed quickly, and the young man who had devised various ways to see his wife, and the young woman who had spent all day thinking about her beloved, from whom she had been separated, were about to meet.

At Fu-Er's mansion...

Swish!!!

Wooooosh!!!

At this moment, Zheng-Fu had entered Fu-Er's room without anyone being aware of his presence. Inside the room, besides Fu-Er, there was also Luo-Qing. Both women were dressed beautifully today, especially Fu-Er, who wore a fine, light blue silk dress.

However, her face was covered by a veil, obscuring her true features. Even though her face couldn't be fully seen, she still exuded elegance and beauty that was undeniable. Even Zheng-Fu couldn't help but freeze in place, stunned by her beauty.

"I know you're here!" a young woman's voice suddenly rang out as she turned toward the open window, walking toward it casually.

Woooooosh!!!

"How did you know I was here?" Zheng-Fu asked, slightly surprised that Fu-Er had sensed his presence, something even elder monsters hadn't been able to do.

"Hehe! I have my ways!" Fu-Er chuckled lightly, hinting that she had her own method. In truth, she had only guessed, but by sheer coincidence, Zheng-Fu had indeed appeared.

"You're keeping secrets from me? I'll have to punish you!" Zheng-Fu teased her, knowing full well that she had merely guessed his presence. But since her guess was right, he decided to play along with a cheeky comment.

"What are you talking about? It's not just me here; another girl is present!" Fu-Er felt embarrassed by Zheng-Fu's words but didn't show any sign of anger or dissatisfaction. In fact, she was pleased by what he said. However, because Luo-Qing was in the room, she had to contradict him a bit.

"Oh!"

After hearing Fu-Er mention that Luo-Qing was present, Zheng-Fu didn't seem particularly shocked. He turned and greeted Luo-Qing.

"I almost forgot that Young Miss Luo-Qing was here too. Hello, Young Miss Luo-Qing. You've really dressed up tonight. It's a shame that young man didn't come with me," Zheng-Fu said with a slight smile, causing Luo-Qing's expression to change as she stood there stunned.

"You… you! What do you mean by that? Who's the young man you're talking about? Your words are making me look bad!" Luo-Qing hurriedly denied it, but her flushed face betrayed her embarrassment.

"Oh, is that so? I've been trying to tell that young man that you like him, and he seems… seems… um… seems…" Zheng-Fu, knowing that Luo-Qing was lying, decided to tease her further, trailing off to provoke her curiosity.

"He seems what!? Hurry up and say it!"

As Zheng-Fu had anticipated, Luo-Qing couldn't contain her curiosity after hearing him stammer. She immediately shouted, forgetting that she had been pretending not to know what Zheng-Fu was talking about.

Hehe!!

"Zheng-Fu, you shouldn't tease her. By the way, who's that young man? Why does he seem so familiar to me?" Fu-Er chuckled before asking about the young man who had been with Zheng-Fu. Her question subtly inquired whether Zheng-Fu and Fu-Zheng from the Silver Body Clan were the same person.

"It's natural for you to feel familiar because he's actually our Meow Jin-Tian. Since he reached the Divine Emperor stage, his body transformed into that of a human, though he still has a monster beast aura," Zheng-Fu explained. Fu-Er hadn't had the chance to learn about Jin-Tian's transformation, so Zheng-Fu took the opportunity to tell both her and Luo-Qing, who was listening intently.

"He's Jin-Tian!? I never imagined that Jin-Tian could transform into such a wise and intelligent human. It wouldn't be fair to simply call him a monster beast of high lineage—he's very similar to me, a member of the Monster Tribe," Qi-Fu-Er said, slightly shocked by Zheng-Fu's revelation.

She hadn't expected the young man she had fond memories of would be Jin-Tian, but her familiar feelings toward him eased her doubts.

"What are you two talking about? And who's this Meow?" Luo-Qing, unable to hold back her curiosity, asked suddenly.

Huh…?

Both Fu-Er and Zheng-Fu turned to look at Luo-Qing at the same time, amused by her curious expression.

"It's nothing. We were just talking about a pet we raised," Fu-Er replied cautiously. She knew Luo-Qing had feelings for Jin-Tian and didn't want to reveal his background.

"That's right," Zheng-Fu nodded in agreement with Fu-Er before turning to Luo-Qing, "By the way, Young Miss Luo-Qing, do you like my younger brother?" Zheng-Fu teased with a smile.

"Huh!?"

Luo-Qing's face turned bright red, leaving her at a loss for words. She didn't know how to respond to Zheng-Fu, as her feelings for Jin-Tian were already quite evident.

"I… er… I… I…"

Just as Luo-Qing was about to express her feelings, a loud roar echoed through the air, accompanied by a strong aura of death.

Roarrr!!!
