"It's easy to sense, thanks to your rotten stench!"
Ah!!!
Zheng-Fu's response left everyone in the room shocked. But for the Demon Tribe individual, it felt like a deeply insulting remark.
"Yo... you... you! Stupid bastard! I'll kill you and tear you into..."
Blop!!!
The demon from the Demon Tribe started spitting out curses. However, before he could finish, Zheng-Fu stepped forward, reached out, and grabbed the demon's head.
[Soul-Sealing Skill: First Stage; Truth-Seeking]
Wooooosh!!!
As soon as Zheng-Fu used the Soul-Sealing Skill, he began to search through the demon's memories to uncover the truth he sought. Everyone was watching his process and actions closely. However, Zheng-Fu was now able to use this skill without anyone noticing. If others looked at him, all they would see was him holding the demon's head, standing still...
"Huh! What is he doing to that demon?"
"How would I know? I'm standing here with you. If you want to know, go ask him yourself!"
"No, I don't want to die. Didn't you hear City Governor Dan-Ge address him?"
"!!!"
Everyone was curious about Zheng-Fu's actions, but none dared to ask or speak. Only Dan-Ge had an inkling that what Zheng-Fu was doing was more than just grabbing the demon's head.
Flop!!!
Thump!!!
Soon after, Zheng-Fu released the demon, letting the body collapse to the floor in a pitiful state. The demon's form had become gaunt, like someone who had been starving for a long time. His eyes were vacant, and his hands twitched helplessly, like a frail old man.
"Master Dan-Ge, may I speak to you in private?" Zheng-Fu said after finishing with the demon.
"Of course, Royal Son-in-law. Everyone, leave the room," Dan-Ge replied, nodding and waving the others out.
"Yes, sir!!!"
Thump, thump, thump!!!
Soon, the hall was emptied, leaving only Zheng-Fu and Dan-Ge.
"Royal Son-in-law, what is it that you wish to discuss?" Dan-Ge asked, his curiosity piqued.
Flop!!!
Instead of replying verbally, Zheng-Fu threw something at Dan-Ge.
Blop!!!
"A pill? What is this pill?" Dan-Ge examined the purple pill that Zheng-Fu had tossed to him.
"That is the Purple Heavenly Demon Divine Pill. Just one will lead you to a new realm that all strong men dream of. However, it has significant side effects. It's up to you to decide if you dare to take it."
Zheng-Fu didn't directly explain the properties of the pill in Dan-Ge's hand. He only mentioned that Dan-Ge would experience the new sensations of a powerful individual. He also explained the effects that would occur after consuming the Purple Heavenly Demon Divine Pill, stating that the decision ultimately rested solely with Dan-Ge.
Huh...?
Dan-Ge immediately understood the implication, he thought that it must be the pill to increase his energy. The pill radiated pure energy, much like the power of purple liquor. But he hesitated, unsure about the potential risks.
"Thank you, Royal Son-in-law. I do want to become stronger, but I'm worried about the city and its people. If this pill has extreme effects, I'm afraid that..." It wasn't that Dan-Ge didn't want to take it, but he couldn't, concerned that if something happened to him, the city would be left unprotected.
"Master Dan-Ge, you needn't worry. If anything happens, I'll guard the city in your stead. After all, I'll be staying here for a few more days," Zheng-Fu reassured him, offering to take care of the city while Dan-Ge dealt with the effects of the pill. He needed to stay here for a few days to increase Fu-Er's energy level as well.
"All right! Thank you very much, Royal Son-in-law!" Dan-Ge said sincerely, then swallowed the Purple Heavenly Demon Divine Pill.
Gulp!
Wooooosh!!!
Boom!!!
The moment the pill entered his throat, it dissolved instantly. A surge of immense energy began coursing through his body.
"Ah! What's this…!?" Dan-Ge exclaimed in shock as the energy waves wreaked havoc inside him.
"Quickly absorb it! Don't let any of that energy go to waste!" Zheng-Fu warned, urging Dan-Ge to take control of the situation.
Ah!!!
Wooooosh!!!
At Zheng-Fu's command, Dan-Ge immediately closed his eyes and focused on absorbing the energy. Seeing that Dan-Ge had begun the process, Zheng-Fu decided not to linger. But before leaving, he cast protective spells around Dan-Ge's body.
Back to Fu-Er...
Ah!!!
Fu-Er had finally balanced her energy. Being a natural genius at martial cultivation, it didn't take her long. As soon as she was ready, she resumed drinking the remaining half of the Purple Heavenly Demon Potion.
Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!
Thump!!!
Wooooosh!!!
As for Jin-Tian and Luo-Qing, they emerged from their room after spending the entire day and night together. Both looked happy and content as they stepped out. At that moment, Zheng-Fu arrived at the mansion and couldn't help but laugh when he saw them standing close. The sight reminded him of his early days with Fu-Er when they first fell in love.
"Master!" Jin-Tian immediately bowed in respect upon seeing Zheng-Fu.
"Mhm, no need for formality! Looks like you two are very happy. I won't disturb you," Zheng-Fu waved his hand, giving Jin-Tian a relaxed smile before turning to leave, not wanting to intrude on their moment. But before leaving, Zheng-Fu handed Luo-Qing a bottle of Purple Heavenly Demon Potion.
"Jin-Tian, what's this purple liquid?" Luo-Qing asked curiously after Zheng-Fu left.
"It's a divine elixir made by Master. It will boost your energy level significantly," Jin-Tian replied to Luo-Qing frankly, unlike Zheng-Fu, who preferred subtlety.
"Wow! Something like this exists? Then I'll drink the whole bottle now!" Luo-Qing's excitement showed as she eagerly raised the bottle to drink. But before she could do so, Jin-Tian gently grabbed her hand and said,
"You can't drink it all at once. Its power is too potent. You should drink only half first," Jin-Tian said warmly, his concern evident.
"All right, I'll follow your advice, my husband!" Luo-Qing nodded, smiling at Jin-Tian's care. She knew he would never deceive her.
Two days passed in Zheng-Fu and Fu-Er's room...
Boom!!!
"I finally advanced to the first level of the Divine Emperor stage!" Fu-Er shouted in delight after achieving a breakthrough.
"This is just the beginning. The first level of the Divine Emperor stage isn't enough. There's only one week left before the maneuver competition to select a husband for you. I don't think Father-in-law has announced our relationship yet; otherwise, people would already know," Zheng-Fu teased her gently as she celebrated.
"You crazy! What maneuver competition? Why don't I know about this? Besides, the first level of the Divine Emperor stage is strong enough to defeat hundreds of thousands!" Fu-Er responded confidently, still unaware of the upcoming competition Zheng-Fu mentioned.
"Haha, true, but have you forgotten the level of the assassins we faced earlier?" Zheng-Fu continued to tease her playfully, but in truth, he wanted to tell Fu-Er that there were beings even stronger than the Divine Emperor or Divine King levels. However, he didn't know how to explain this to her, not to mention the matter of the main world and all that...
"I know, but the potion's effectiveness is fading. If I had more powerful medicine..."
"Take this. It's the Purple Heavenly Demon Divine Pill. The potion you drank earlier was just a diluted effect of this pill. Besides its stronger impact, the pill will also cause the person who consumes it to be unable to move for a short period. But don't worry, for I, your handsome husband, will protect you from any danger."
Before Fu-Er could respond, Zheng-Fu handed her the Purple Heavenly Demon Divine Pill, explaining both its benefits and side effects. However, the side effects weren't too serious, as Zheng-Fu was here with her, ready to help her if anything happened...
"Huh! So full of yourself! I don't know where you get your confidence from. You're nothing like me, who was born beautiful!" Fu-Er teased, sticking her tongue out at him as she boasted about her natural beauty.
"Yes, you're beautiful, pretty, and... tasty too! Hehe!" Zheng-Fu didn't argue; instead, he playfully complimented her with a cheeky grin.
"You crazy pervert! I'm not talking to you anymore. I'll take this pill and become stronger than you, so just wait and see. Then you'll have to surrender to me!" Fu-Er's face flushed with embarrassment at his teasing, and she quickly swallowed the pill to distract herself.
Gulp!!!
'Sigh! If I don't prepare properly, going to the capital this time could definitely cause problems. So, during the rest of this week, I must build as many great, skilled martial master forces as possible!'
