Over The World, Beyond Heaven

It did not take long for the one hundred members of the Golden Monkey Race that Hou-Jie had chosen to agree to stay with Zheng-Fu. They also swore an oath of loyalty to the Tian-Tang Clan.

Good!

Since you've already made up your mind, you're considered one of the Tian-Tang Clan from now on and will be until the day you die." Zheng-Fu nodded in satisfaction upon receiving the answer from the one hundred golden monkeys. Although it might not be a large number, it was a good starting point. He was confident that the number of his clan members would definitely increase in the future.

"Zheng-Fu, then how would you manage everyone's cultivation resources and also the money spent within the clan? You know that establishing a clan is not an easy task. At the very least, there need to be five or six elders who will be the pillar persons who take care of the clan's affairs and matters," Mie-Xiang-Qi suddenly spoke up in concern. Because establishing a clan required the integration of several elements.

"I already have a full complement of personnel. You don't have to worry about the pillar persons. I'll have Hou-Jie be the senior master in charge of the rules, Ba-Ong be the senior master of the cultivation and treatise hall, Master Heim be the elderly master of the treasury and medicine hall, and you… I'll have you be the special guest elder of the clan, responsible for managing the clan's business plans. But I don't know if you'd be willing to help me?" As for the clan's pillar persons, Zheng-Fu had already tentatively thought about it. He would use the people he already had, and in the future, he would gradually increase their number. But the person he wanted to help him the most was Mie-Xiang-Qi, and he was unsure if Mie-Xiang-Qi would accept it.

You…

"All right! I can help you. But you have to pay a hefty price. Because my wages are quite high!" Mie-Xiang-Qi secretly smiled at the corner of her mouth, happy to know that Zheng-Fu wanted her help. But because she did not want to show Zheng-Fu that she was glad he valued her, she pretended to speak with a serious expression.

"No problem, even if I have to pay with my body, I'll accept it!" Zheng-Fu smiled, satisfied that Mie-Xiang-Qi agreed. He knew that Mie-Xiang-Qi had quite a bit of talent in that field. But because he was a playful person, he could not help to tease her a little.

"Who would want your body, you crazy!" Mie-Xiang-Qi's face immediately turned red when she heard Zheng-Fu's words. She did not think he would say it like that. But inside her heart, she also wanted to get Zheng-Fu's body as compensation.

Ah!

"What did I do wrong? Why are you calling me a crazy person all of a sudden?" Zheng-Fu smiled mischievously and pretended to look sad, speaking as Mie-Xiang-Qi ran out.

"Second Brother, you really are vicious. Just saying those few sentences would make Sister-in-law blush!" Ba-Ong could not help teasing Zheng-Fu with a playful smile.

Zheng-Fu frowned immediately and turned to glare at Ba-Ong. The word sister-in-law made him feel strange, but he did not understand what kind of feeling it was. Therefore, he turned to order everyone sternly to prevent himself from overthinking, "Alright! It's time for you all to go inside and cultivate in the testing tower. Because we only have two months to strengthen our energy levels!"

I'll... I'll go now!

Ba-Ong hurriedly responded with a startled tone.

"Master, do you really like Miss Mie? And what about Mistress?" Jin-Tian suddenly spoke up with a displeased, serious expression. For he thought that Zheng-Fu did not think of Fu-Er at all.

"I can't tell you either. However, in my heart, there is always only Fu-Er. She's still my only wife. And I must go to help her. Even at the cost of my life!" Zheng-Fu understood what Jin-Tian wanted to convey. He would absolutely never forget Fu-Er. But the enemy he would face was too strong for him to fight. If he had gone at that time, it would have been no different than taking his own life.

"I understood, Master! I'll make myself stronger quickly so that I can help you save Mistress!" Jin-Tian listened to Zheng-Fu's answer and felt much better. He would be even more determined and serious about increasing his energy level than before. He immediately rushed into the testing tower to begin cultivating energy.

Sigh!

"I'm truly sorry to see you like this. It would be great if I could return to the gravel world and bring your mother and my family here. You must be happier that way!" Zheng-Fu let out a long sigh, saddened to see that Jin-Tian's expressions and emotions were like that. He looked the same as a heartless robot. Previously, Jin-Tian was not like this at all. He used to smile, laugh, and play like a little kid. But today he had changed a lot.

"Hmm! There is probably nothing else for me to do right now. It's time to check that door!" After a while, Zheng-Fu shook off all his thoughts and turned his attention to the large door in the underground treasure chamber. Because he had not checked to see what exactly was behind that door.

A few minutes later, at the treasure chamber in the basement...

Zheng-Fu walked down the treasure chamber and stopped in front of the large door that he had unsealed, and found that the door was closed. However, Zheng-Fu could open it at any time because he had dispelled all sealing spells.

"I must know what lies behind this door. My feelings at that moment told me that something was waiting for me on the other side of this door!" Zheng-Fu clenched his teeth as he muttered to himself. He cast a disguise spell on himself before deciding to open the door.

Flap!

Groooaaan!!!

As soon as the door was opened, a strange energy wave shot out and hit Zheng-Fu. But that energy wave did not hurt or cause anything dangerous. It only hit him and then disappeared.

"Well! I hope it doesn't take me to a place where I can't use my Heavenly Dimensional Gate!" Zheng-Fu silently prayed, may behind that door be a place where he could use his dimensional gate. Because if the door disappeared after that, he could use his heavenly dimensional gate to travel back.

Thump!

Whooooosh!

After Zheng-Fu walked through the large door, he appeared in a rock chamber. It was pretty vast and gave off a very somber feeling, like being in a graveyard. Aside from the dozens of pillars supporting the large room, the chamber was filled with an assortment of artifacts and countless treasure chests. But what caught Zheng-Fu's eye the most was a large glass coffin covered in ice.

"Where is this? A tomb, right?" The first thing Zheng-Fu thought about that place was that it was someone's tomb because its various elements indicated that it was so.

"Who's that? Who are you? How did you get in here?"

Suddenly, a weak young woman's voice sounded from somewhere. Judging from her tone, she must have been an extremely beautiful young woman. But her weak voice indicated that she was probably injured.

"I'm only passing by. I didn't mean to disturb you at all. Since this is your resting place, I have to excuse myself!" Zheng-Fu did not know who the other party was. But he did not like to disturb dead people. So, he thought of going back. However, the door that had sent him in had disappeared.

Where is the door?

Ah!

At that moment, Zheng-Fu's eyes caught sight of a large stone door behind the glass coffin. That door was similar to the one that had sent him there.

"Wait! This place is locked down. Besides the Four Guardians and my father, the outsiders shouldn't be able to come here. Who exactly are you? Or are you a member of the Demon Race? If you belong to the Demon Race, then my Monster Race has been destroyed, right?"

But before Zheng-Fu could move, the young woman's voice sounded again and asked a series of questions, leaving no space for Zheng-Fu to answer.

"I'm not a member of the Demon Race. I'm a human. As far as I know, Monster Race has not been destroyed. As for the deeper matter, I don't know. But just now you said 'your Monster Race', what does that mean?" Those words made Zheng-Fu's heart skip a beat. People who could say that must have only been members of the Monster Race's royal family. And his wife, Fu-Er, was also the Princess of Monster Race.

"Is that so? Luckily, nothing has happened yet. So, how did you get here? This place is a Monster Race's restricted area. Without permission from Father, outsiders shouldn't be able to come in. Or is what you said just now just a deceitful statement!"

At first, the mysterious young woman felt better upon hearing Zheng-Fu's answer. But after she thought for a moment, her mood changed again. Because the place where she was now was a restricted area. And there were only two access points. One was the normal entrance, which required passing through many guards and soldiers. Another was an ancient door reserved for emergency escape.

"I didn't deceive you. What I have said is all true. And I came through that big door behind the coffin!" Zheng-Fu hurriedly answered her. And the more he talked to the young woman, the more familiar his feelings became. It was as if he and the young woman had known each other before. But Zheng-Fu could not think of anywhere he had ever known her.

"Are you saying that you entered through our clan's emergency door? It's impossible. Other than people in our clan, no one else can open this door. Moreover, if it doesn't open from the inside, several layers of sealing spells need to be dispelled… Hah! Or you can do it?!" The young woman's voice sounded shocked and excited when she heard that. As far as her father had told her, no one could unseal this gate for thousands of years. Furthermore, only a few people knew the location of the door on the other side.

"Yes, I can do it. But excuse me, who are you? And indeed, are you dead or not dead yet?" Zheng-Fu began to wonder and wanted to know if the young woman was dead. Because a dead person should not be able to talk to him in such a long sentence. Unless she was a dwelling spirit. But from the young woman's words, it looked as if she was not dead.

"Who said I died? I just… Cough! Cough!" But before the young woman could finish speaking, she suddenly coughed as if she were injured. Before her voice disappeared.

Hah!

Zheng-Fu immediately frowned, "Miss! What's wrong with you? Is there anything I can help you with?" Zheng-Fu understood that the young woman was not dead but only injured. So, he asked if he could help her.

"You can't help me. I have been poisoned by a strange poison from the Demon Race. I'll receive the antidote if only I agree to marry the Demon Emperor's son. Or else I'll have to meet my true love… and kis... kiss him, it can neutralize this poison as well. But my true love is not in this world, so no one can help me. And I'll never agree to marry that evil demon. And now I only have half a year left before I…"

Fu-Er!

Hah!?
