"I'm your daughter's lover!"

Wooooosh!!!

Suddenly, a voice echoed, and a handsome young man with long black hair, fluttering gracefully, appeared next to Fu-Er, just ten steps away from the Monster King.

"Protect the King!"

At the same time, more than ten shadowy figures rushed forward, quickly positioning themselves beside the King. They raised their weapons, pointing them at Zheng-Fu with hostility. These shadows were the King's guards, all at the ninth level of the Divine Emperor stage.

Flap!!!

The Monster King waved his hand, signaling the guards to lower their weapons, and then spoke, "So you're the one my daughter thinks about days and nights, refusing to marry anyone else and disobeying my commands. She's been waiting for you, and now, finally, you've come as she had hoped. But... You must know that the Monster Tribe and Human Tribe cannot coexist.

How, then, can a love story between you and my daughter continue? It's impossible!"

Woooosh!!!

At first, the Monster King spoke calmly, but when he reached the last sentence, his tone and expression shifted. He released an intense wave of energy, causing the atmosphere in the room to instantly turn colder. Even the two elder monsters and the ten guards felt the pressure.

Woooosh!!!

Suddenly, an equally powerful energy wave emerged, pushing back the King's pressure, preventing it from reaching Zheng-Fu and Fu-Er. Although Zheng-Fu was not at the Divine King stage like the Monster King, the energy wave he released was in no way inferior to the King's, or even to that of a monster demon.

Huh…?

The Monster King's expression changed as he saw Zheng-Fu release his energy to counter his own. He was shocked that this young man, who appeared to be no older than eighteen, possessed energy equal to his. Based on earlier reports from the three elder dragons, it seemed impossible for this child to have raised his energy level so quickly.

"Hahaha! Impressive! You have more talent than I expected. But with your current energy level, you won't be able to defeat me. So, accept your fate!" The Monster King was still confident and believed that he was superior to Zheng-Fu.

"Father-in-law, Fu-Er and I love each other wholeheartedly. I don't intend to offend your Monster Tribe. Why can't she and I be allowed to fulfill our hopes? Besides, if we fight, I think it's you who will lose. Because you knew that even though my energy level is lower than yours, my strength is not."

"And now, a Divine King stage monster demon is heading toward this city. Do you think you and I will survive if we fight each other? And if you die, your Monster Tribe will surely be devoured by the Demon Tribe."

Zheng-Fu wasn't afraid to challenge the Monster King, but he believed the battle was unnecessary. He then warned the Monster King about what was happening and the consequences of their fight.

Zheng-Fu's reasoning was sound, and everyone in the room recognized it as true. They could all feel his strength, and the outcome of a fight between the Monster King and Zheng-Fu would be uncertain.

"Huh! Do you think that by saying this, I'll change my mind? You're too naive, kid! Even if I die, my younger brother and father will still remain in the Monster Dynasty. It won't be so easy for the Demon Tribe to invade us!" The Monster King remained proud and arrogant, refusing to abandon his own thoughts. He wasn't even afraid of the possibility of dying in this battle.

Hahaha!!!

"You say I'm too naive? Don't you wonder how I managed to travel here, across such a great distance between the Holy Ancient Region and the Hell Region? And if I can do it, don't you think the Demon Tribe, which is even closer, could invade here just as easily?"

Zheng-Fu laughed, a sly smile on his lips, as he explained. He had previously encountered the Demon Tribe's army as they were preparing to cross a dimensional gate into the Monster Tribe's territory, just as he had. Fortunately, Zheng-Fu had defeated them and destroyed their dimensional gate spells.

"I don't care what methods you or they use. If they dare enter my territory, I'll kill them all!" Although the Monster King was so shaken by Zheng-Fu's words that he hesitated, he quickly dismissed his hesitation, speaking once again with his usual arrogance.

"Hahaha! You think you'll be able to fight them after we battle? If we fight to the death, either I die, or you do. If you defeat me, you'll be seriously injured, and it may take years to recover your energy."

"Do you think the Demon Tribe will wait for you to recover? From what I know, the Demon Tribe has as many Divine King stage martial masters as your Monster Tribe. They're ready to devour your kingdom. And during this battle, Demon Tribe spies must have already reported back to their king."

"But if you still want to fight, I'm ready to die for Fu-Er to show how much love I have for her, and I will never let anyone separate us again!"

Each word Zheng-Fu spoke was filled with power and sincerity. His words radiated an undeniable strength, the force of his love for Fu-Er. Even the two elder monsters, Dan-Ge, Luo-Qing, and the other skilled martial masters realized that Zheng-Fu was serious about Fu-Er and would do anything for her.

Good! Good! Good!

"Young man, you speak well!" Suddenly, the killing intent the Monster King had previously released disappeared, replaced by a smile.

The King's change in attitude put everyone at ease. They knew he wouldn't fight the young man. If he had intended to, he wouldn't have spent so much time talking to the other person. For everyone present, their King was like a god of war.

"I can finally trust you," the King murmured after a moment of silence before turning to Qi-Fu-Er. "Fu-Er, my dear daughter, I never meant to force your marriage. Before, the distance between our two continents made it impossible for you and this young man to be together. And for him to come here is not an easy thing to do. But now...

"...he has come. His energy is not inferior to mine—perhaps even greater. That shows how worthy he is to be my son-in-law and the husband of the daughter I love the most."

"Fath… Fath… Father!"

At the end of the King's words, Fu-Er's tears flowed uncontrollably. For others, this man was a fearsome King, but for her, he was the father she loved and respected the most. She rushed into his embrace, crying out as she hadn't in a long time.

Sob! Sob!

"Father!"

This scene made everyone feel like crying. It was a rare sight, one that even the King's closest confidants had never had the chance to witness. As a result, they felt happy and deeply moved. However, this happiness didn't last long, as the monster demon was now approaching.

Roaaar!!!

"My daughters, you will stay here with the guards and elders. Dan-Ge, begin evacuating as many people as possible. My son-in-law and I will go deal with the monster demon!"

The Monster King's words snapped everyone back to reality, and he issued orders quickly. He called Zheng-Fu his 'son-in-law' without hesitation, as though he had already grown accustomed to the title.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

All the guards, the two elder monsters, and even the princesses and Dan-Ge responded in unison. Only Zheng-Fu stood in stunned silence, not having expected the situation to change so dramatically. He hadn't anticipated this being a test from his father-in-law.

"How about you, son-in-law? Are you ready?" the King asked again, seeing Zheng-Fu's puzzled expression.

Ah… Hun!?!

Hehe!!!

"Zheng-Fu, Father has accepted you! Why haven't you answered yet?" Fu-Er couldn't help but laugh at Zheng-Fu's flustered expression. Her crying stopped because she saw Zheng-Fu...

"Yes… yes… sir, Fa… Fa… Father-in-law!" Zheng-Fu stammered, embarrassed. He had never imagined things would turn out this way, and now, he was awkwardly calling his father-in-law like a child learning to speak.

The atmosphere in the room had lightened, as the tension between the martial masters had dissipated. Now, with the King and Zheng-Fu allied as father-in-law and son-in-law, the Monster Tribe's strength was surely greater than the Demon Tribe's, and defeating the Divine King stage monster demon seemed far more achievable.
