The clash in the third round was much more intense than in the first and second rounds. It made the space in the middle between the two become a huge hole. Fortunately, there were no villagers around there; otherwise, it would definitely become a massacre.
The result of the maneuver was exactly what Zheng-Fu had in mind. He was slightly injured because his sword stances were a little inferior. But even so, Elder Monster Duan-Xi-Gong did not have any disappointed or dissatisfied expression. He was even more excited than before since he perceived that Zheng-Fu used his imperfect skills against him but was still able to cope with him without serious injury.
Ha ha ha!!
"That's right, little human! Six stances have now passed, with only four left. But looking at the results from the previous six stances, even if we continue to fight, there's no outcome anyway. So, let's use our most intense stances!"
At this moment, Elder Monster Duan-Xi-Gong was very appreciative of Zheng-Fu, unlike at first glance, where his expression was extremely dissatisfied. Seeing Zheng-Fu's skills made the elder monster feel more admired by Zheng-Fu.
Flop!!!
Zheng-Fu wiped the blood stain off the corners of his mouth before smiling slightly and speaking, "Thank you so much, Grandpa, for the compliment. I also didn't expect you to be this old but as a thirty-year-old. I guess Grandpa could still be kicking with a thunderous sound!" Zheng-Fu stared at Duan-Xi-Gong with a sly smile as he finished his words.
Ha ha ha!
"This guy is really good at talking. It's certain that I'm still kicking and can also kick several times at once, you know, little human!? By the way, I've been wondering from the beginning why you call me Grandpa?"
After being called 'grandpa' for a long moment, Elder Monster Duan-Xi-Gong finally got a chance to ask Zheng-Fu to clear his doubts. Why did this human call him 'Grandpa'? Or did his son have a child with someone from the Human Tribe without telling him? But for whatever reason, if the person in front of him was on the same side as the Monster Tribe, it was excellent.
"Because I'm your grandson-in-law, Grandpa!" Zheng-Fu immediately replied without hiding anything or even stammering for a moment.
"Hah… Grandson-in-law? Grandson-in-law? Are you saying you are my grandson-in-law? Duan-Jian, what does this mean?" Elder Monster Duan-Xi-Gong could not even say anything after hearing what Zheng-Fu had said. He did not know if he had heard wrongly or not. He could only repeat the question three times to be sure as he turned to Monster King Duan-Jian to wait for an answer.
"That's right, Father! He's my son-in-law and your grandson-in-law. And that's what I tried to tell you earlier, but you didn't let me say it!" Monster King Duan-Jian replied, with a slightly serious expression.
"Huh! Who let you keep a secret from me? If you had sent someone to tell me sooner, things like this wouldn't have happened. My grandson-in-law and I wouldn't have to waste energy in vain like this. But on the other hand, it's also good that you haven't told me yet. I'm so excited and having so much fun maneuvering many stances with him!"
After Duan-Xi-Gong learned the truth, his expression and words suddenly changed; they turned soft and friendly. He turned to look at Zheng-Fu and smiled before speaking, "Come in, my Grandson-in-law!"
"All right, Grandpa!" Zheng-Fu walked toward the elder monster immediately after being called. But before he entered, he had not forgotten to deal with the Cruel Bat demon monster beast first because it was still conscious and trying to do something he did not know.
Flop!!!
"Respect, Grandpa I, Tian-Tang Zheng-Fu, came from the Holy Ancient Region. I am Qi-Fu-Err, the thirteenth princess of Monster Kingdom's lover, sir!" Zheng-Fu immediately introduced himself after he jumped to stop in front of the elder monster.
"Tian-Tang Clan? You mean the Tian-Tang Clan ruled by Tian-Tang Ru-Tong?" the elder monster suddenly asked Zheng-Fu about someone with the same surname as Zheng-Fu.
Huh...?
"Tian-Tang Ru-Tong? Oh! You mean Ancestor Ru-Tong, who used to be the Tian-Tang Clan Leader four hundred years ago?" Zheng-Fu suddenly remembered the person with this name who was one of his ancestors four hundred years ago.
"Ancestor? Ah! Yes, that's right. I forgot that human life expectancy is much shorter than that of monsters like us. It would be impossible for that person to live until now. But anyway, since you know that person, there's not much else to say because that person and I were comrades before!" Elder Monster Duan-Xi-Gong said, with a friendly and kind expression.
"You were comrades? But that was four hundred years ago? Ah! I forgot that you guys live longer than human beings. Humans can live up to two hundred years old if they're at the Divine Emperor stage. And their age would have doubled when they were at the Divine King stage. So, it isn't strange for Grandpa and Ancestor Ru-Tong to have been comrades," Zheng-Fu said and thought along, slowly coming to a conclusion.
"That's right. Since you're my comrade's grandson, you're my grandson too. And since you and my granddaughter love each other, let Duan-Jian arrange a wedding for the both of you tomorrow!" Elder Monster Duan-Xi-Gong turned to the Monster King and said something that shocked everyone.
Hah!!?
"Isn't it too soon, Father? I think…"
"Shut your mouth up! Or are you going to let this skillful grandson-in-law go?" the Elder Monster was immediately angry, seeing Monster King Duan-Jian interrupting him.
"It's not like that, sir. But right now, our kingdom is not safe. Because there is still…"
"You mean those bastard beasts who dare to invade our kingdom? Huh! You don't have to worry. At this moment, my six comrades have already dealt with them. You think that our Monster Kingdom has only a handful of highly skilled martial masters at the Divine King stage?" And as always, before the Monster King could speak about the other six demon monster beasts, Duan-Xi-Gong interrupted first. He told him that they had all been dealt with by the great, skilled martial masters who were hiding. And, of course, those people were all at the Divine King stage level.
"There are still many masters at the Divine King stage? So why didn't I know that, Father?" Monster King Duan-Jian asked a lot of questions like a child in front of his father.
"How do you know? They're cultivating in a secret place, where it can completely conceal their aura, in anticipation of the upcoming selection day!" The elder monster immediately turned to his son, explaining the reason why he was unable to perceive the identity of these people.
"The selection day…? Father was referring to the disciple selection of five weird elders and a mysterious elder?" When Monster King Duan-Jian heard that, he immediately remembered one thing.
"You're right. It's the disciple selection of five weird elders and a mysterious elder of the Hell Region Territory and the Holy Ancient Region Territory. Every twenty years, they would accept a disciple. And in the next few months, it'll be that day. And these great, skilled martial masters are the ones who have participated in the discipleship test many times, but they can't be. So, they kept cultivating diligently to participate in this selection."
Elder Monster Duan-Xi-Gong immediately explained to his son. But his gaze turned to Zheng-Fu as if he knew that Zheng-Fu wanted to listen too.
'It's actually like this. Then it means that the Holy Ancient Region also has great, skilled martial masters like this one hiding too. So, I won't have to worry about the demon army invasion. But this matter is quite interesting. Five weird elders with one mystery elder?'
Zheng-Fu thought of the elder monster's words, along with analyzing the current situation in the Holy Ancient Region. He believed that there would not be anything serious. As long as highly skilled martial masters at the Divine King stage were hiding, they would appear to help the people.
But even knowing that, Zheng-Fu still did not trust his family's safety. He thought that after finishing this matter, he would immediately return to the Holy Ancient Region to see with his own eyes that everyone was safe. Otherwise, he would definitely not be at peace.
"So that's how it is. The fact that you came out of your cultivation like this means that you have reached the peak of the Divine King stage, sir?" Monster King Duan-Jian nodded understandingly before asking about his father's current energy level.
"Your damn peak! If it weren't for the fact that my Monster Kingdom is in danger, I wouldn't come out of cultivation. Even your mother has to come out with me!" Speaking of cultivation, Duan-Xi-Gong suddenly had a disgruntled expression. If it was not for the kingdom in danger, the elder monster would not have come out, including his wife who also was cultivating.
"Mother came out too, sir? How is it possible for Mother to come out? Usually, Mother…"
"Why? What am I usually do? Hah!" Suddenly, an old woman's voice rang out before a female elder monster appeared, stopping beside Duan-Xi-Gong, with two other young women.
"Mother? Fu-Er! Luo-Qing!" Monster King Duan-Jian immediately turned to look at the source of the voice before his face suddenly turned white, and he exclaimed upon seeing the faces of the three.
The one who had just appeared was the Monster King's mother, the previous queen. The other two at the sides of the previous queen were Qi-Fu-Er and Qi-Luo-Qing, who had asked to follow her.
"What? Tell me now what I usually do! We haven't met for so long, and you're becoming so stubborn! Why don't you tell us about the talented grandson-in-law? Why do you let us know it ourselves?" as soon as the female elder monster arrived, she immediately scolded Monster King Duan-Jian.
Everyone who saw this could not help but sympathize with the Monster King. Zheng-Fu's appearance was very quick; it happened just a few months ago. And now, everything was still a mess, so he did not have time to tell his father and mother and let both of them spend time cultivating.
"Grandpa and Grandma, don't be angry with Father. In fact, Father only recently found out about this truth. Grandpa and Grandma, please don't be angry with Father!" Seeing that her father was being pressured so hard that he was speechless, Fu-Er immediately spoke on his behalf.
"That's right, Grandpa, and Grandma! I've only recently been here. There was also an issue to deal with the people from the Demon Tribe, so Father-in-law was so busy that he didn't have time to tell the two of you. And one more thing, because I'm from the Human Tribe, it would be difficult for Father-in-law to say this easily. Anyway, now you two know that I'm your grandson-in-law, who I am, and where I come from. Then, I'd like to tell you two right here that I'm sincere to your granddaughter and really love her so much!"
