"I can't compare with you, my dear husband, because you can fool the whole Huang-Di City! You've been there for months without anyone knowing who you are or where you came from!" Fu-Er immediately turned around and replied to Zheng-Fu with a happy smile on her face. She felt unbelievably good because this was the first time she had done something like this.
"All right, all right! I'm not arguing about that. But I did it because I needed to find you. I didn't want to cause discord between the Human Tribe and the Monster Tribe. I had no idea how many of the Monster Tribe would die at my hands if I revealed my true identity from the beginning. Do you think you would've liked that?"
Zheng-Fu admitted his disguise tamely but still gave Fu-Er a reason, explaining that he did it for her.
"It's true as you said. If that had happened, I'd feel really bad because…"
"Let's forget about it! We'd better stop talking about these unpleasant things. Soon, the two of us will be one family. From now on, we don't need to hide anymore," Zheng-Fu interjected after noticing Fu-Er's sad face again.
"Hmm! I know, but we can only get married when your parents come here. So how will they come?" Fu-Er asked as she thought about how Zheng-Fu's parents should attend the wedding ceremony.
"It's not difficult, my wife. Since I was able to come here, I can also go back and bring my parents here!" Zheng-Fu replied with a happy smile. But suddenly, his happiness disappeared, replaced by an inexplicable feeling of pain in his heart.
Ah!!!
"What's wrong with you, Zheng-Fu?!" Fu-Er saw the distress on Zheng-Fu's face and hurried over, asking him with a worried expression.
"I… I… I'm fine. I just felt a slight pain!" The pain quickly subsided. Zheng-Fu then reassured Fu-Er with a smile, trying to put her at ease.
"But just now, you looked weird," Fu-Er still couldn't believe Zheng-Fu was all right, recalling his painful expression.
To prove he was fine, Zheng-Fu rushed over, hugged Fu-Er, and kissed her. He grabbed her plump breasts, filling his hands, causing Fu-Er to let out a soft moan.
"What are you doing? There are a lot of people around us! If someone…"
"Nobody hears or knows what we're doing because I've already cast a Protective Sealing spell. And I did this because you didn't believe me when I said I'm fine," Zheng-Fu replied with a sly and mischievous smile at the corner of his mouth.
"You… you… you!!"
Fu-Er didn't know how to react. Her face flushed with embarrassment. Even though she had experienced this many times, she still couldn't help but feel shy.
…………….
Dan-Ge's traveling procession, accompanied by two hundred great, skilled martial masters, drew the attention of the people in the capital. Everyone in the procession was a high-ranking martial master. Though they didn't release energy waves, their presence created an intense and awe-inspiring atmosphere, very different from when they were outside.
This was due to Zheng-Fu's order to conceal their true energy during the journey. But after entering the capital, he allowed them to release some energy waves. The first reason was to empower Huang-Di City. The second was to show the people in the capital that they couldn't be easily bullied.
"Who are these people? Why do they look so intimidating? Are they from some large force in the capital?"
"Probably not. I've never seen them before!"
"That! Look, isn't that Huang-Di City's flag?"
"Huang-Di City? Damn! How could Huang-Di City have so many highly skilled martial masters!?"
"But that's definitely Huang-Di City's flag. And I remember the Governor of Huang-Di City's face very well!"
"Since when has Huang-Di City been so full of young, highly skilled martial masters? They're comparable to the large forces here!"
"Tch! They're just country villagers coming into town, acting arrogant! In front of our Inferno Flame Lion Group, they're just a pebble!" an arrogant young man suddenly sneered. Five middle-aged male monsters sat beside him.
"Is he from the Inferno Flame Lion Group? I can't stay anymore… Shopkeeper, bill, please!"
Many of the people chatting quickly paid and left the tavern in a hurry, knowing the young man who spoke belonged to the powerful Inferno Flame Lion Group, one of the large forces in the capital city that even the three major forces of Huang-Di City couldn't compare with.
Each of these large forces had at least two highly skilled masters at the highest ninth level of the Divine Emperor stage overseeing them. They also boasted several great, skilled martial masters of the Divine Emperor stage.
"But what are these Huang-Di guys doing here? Could they be here because of the contest to choose a husband for the Thirteenth Princess? How immodest, thinking they can compete. Either way, Big Brother will definitely win!"
The young man continued to speak disrespectfully, seeing Dan-Ge as no different from Xie-Zhong-Ren, the Capital City Wall's Guard Chief.
"Young Master is right. In this contest, First Young Master will definitely win!" a subordinate beside him chimed in with flattery.
"Those fools are just toads, daring to dream of eating swan meat. They don't even know…"
Zing!!!
Slash!!!
Ah!!!
In an instant, an invisible force slashed through the throats of the middle-aged monsters around the young man, freezing them in place as blood slowly trickled from their wounds. They had all died without even realizing it.
Aaaaaaaaaaaah!!!
"Someone died!!!"
"Someone died!!!"
Chaos erupted as soon as the tavern's patrons realized what had happened. The young man's underlings had been killed without anyone knowing who had struck. Even the young man was frozen in shock—his underlings had just been speaking with him, and now they were dead, one of them still mid-sentence.
"No… no… no!!! Who… who… who did this!?" the young man yelled in terror, demanding to know who killed his men, but no one answered or took responsibility. There was only the sound of people fleeing in panic.
Before long, the capital garrison took control of the situation and brought the young man and the others involved in the incident in for investigation.
"Huh! A big mouth like that deserves to die!" A cold voice muttered from within Zheng-Fu's carriage. He was the one who had killed the young man's underlings.
"Zheng-Fu, what did you say?" Fu-Er, who was sitting and absorbing the energy from the few remaining pills, asked after hearing Zheng-Fu speak.
"Nothing. I'm just complaining why we don't do it right now on this carriage!" Zheng-Fu quickly changed the subject to avoid Fu-Er worrying about the incident, offering a mischievous reply instead.
"You! I'm done talking to you, you lewd!" Fu-Er, who had asked innocently, became irritated by Zheng-Fu's answer.
Killing people in the capital was strictly prohibited, but as long as the killer remained unidentified, it wouldn't be a problem. That was why clans or large forces often sent assassins to eliminate their enemies without sparking public chaos. Even if news of the killings spread, it would soon be forgotten.
However, this killing wouldn't go unnoticed because the victims were from the Inferno Flame Lion Group, one of the capital's five major forces. Since this group was the second most powerful of the five, thorough investigations were certain to follow.
Half an hour passed...
Huang-Di City's traveling procession finally arrived at Dan-Ge's medium-sized residence in the capital. This residence could accommodate over a thousand people, with many rooms built for such purposes.
Wen-Xi excused himself to report to the Mo-Qing Chamber of Commerce's main office. Leaving the branch unattended violated the chamber's rules, so he had to submit a report, including Zheng-Fu's instructions.
Meanwhile, Dan-Ge was responsible for escorting the two princesses into the royal palace, with Zheng-Fu and Jin-Tian close by as their bodyguards.
The distance from Dan-Ge's residence to the royal palace was less than a li, taking only ten minutes to reach.
Stop!!!
The guards at the entrance shouted, ordering the carriages and Dan-Ge to halt.
"Please state your identity, sir!" the guards asked Dan-Ge respectfully, unlike the guards at the outer city wall, as they were highly skilled martial masters who knew how to act and were familiar with Dan-Ge.
"I am Dan-Ge, Governor of Huang-Di City. We are escorting the Thirteenth Princess and the Fourteenth Princess!" Dan-Ge replied in a low, arrogant, but polite tone.
"Thirteenth Princess!?"
Swish!!!
Thump thump thump!!!
Suddenly, three figures descended from the sky, stopping in front of the guards and Dan-Ge. They knelt on one knee, clasping their hands, and spoke in unison.
"We, the three dragon brothers, pay our respects to the Thirteenth Princess, sir!" They greeted politely before rising and walking directly to Fu-Er's carriage, attempting to open the door without permission.
"How dare you!"
Bang!!!
Screech!!!
Before the three could get any closer, a sound of displeasure rang out, accompanied by an intense wave of pressure that sent them flying backward.
"You… you… you!? How dare you hurt us, the three dragon brothers?" one of the three figures said angrily, his face flushing red before turning black with rage.
"Not just hurt, I'll kill you all too!"
