Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Zheng-Fu's provocative words were indeed effective. His future father-in-law's expression instantly turned ugly. Since he became emperor, few people dared to speak disrespectfully towards him like that. And if Zheng-Fu had not been the last choice to save his daughter's life, he would have killed Zheng-Fu.

Good! Very good!

"Then I'll make a bet with you. But you must remain here and under my sight for these five months. Because I'm afraid you'll go back on your word and run away. But no matter where you run away, I'll send people to hunt you down and kill you!" Zheng-Fu's future father-in-law finally agreed to the bet. As he spoke, he looked very angry and resentful towards Zheng-Fu.

"No problem! But I have conditions that if you can't accept, I must return to cultivate at my place. But you don't have to worry. You can send someone to watch over me all the time to make sure I don't escape!" Zheng-Fu smiled mischievously at the corner of his mouth as he replied. He had already thought of a plan for dealing with this matter, so he proposed conditions to his father-in-law.

What conditions?

The Monster Emperor frowned when he heard that Zheng-Fu had the conditions. However, he did not immediately deny it. He only had to ask first what Zheng-Fu's conditions were. He would accept them if he could. But if not, he would find another way to deal with him.

"My conditions are very simple. The first is that you must give me as many cultivation resources as I need. The second is that I'll cultivate energy only in this chamber. So that I can be close to my beloved wife, Fu-Er. And she won't be lonely anymore after she has to stay here alone for so long!" Zheng-Fu's conditions were not as difficult as the Monster Emperor thought. However, Zheng-Fu had no connection with the royal family, so obtaining resources to cultivate was extremely difficult. But if he were given those resources, he would be able to develop quickly.

You!

This request caused the Monster Emperor to frown even harder. Even though there were many treasures in the royal treasury, he had to distribute them to many clans and soldiers. And each month, he had to pay quite a bit, especially to those with high energy levels, because they all had to use a lot of Immortal or Heavenly energy boosting pills to raise their energy level.

"Father, if you don't help him, I'll die right now!" Fu-Er suddenly interrupted her father's thoughts and begged him to help Zheng-Fu. Although what Zheng-Fu did was quite risky, she had confidence in her husband that he could do it. Because Zheng-Fu never disappointed her.

Daughter!

"Fu-Er, you didn't intend to force your father. If he can't accept the conditions, I have a way and a place to increase my energy level. And also, Jin-Tian, our little cat, is training there right now!" Zheng-Fu smiled happily to see that Fu-Er took his side and supported him. But he did not want to cause trouble between the father and daughter. So, he told Fu-Er about it. And to let her know that Jin-Tian had returned to life again.

Jin-Tian isn't dead yet?

Fu-Er was shocked when she heard that. Because she thought Jin-Tian was dead.

"He's dead. But he resurrected. Moreover, he now also inherited half of the White Tiger Guardian Monster Deity's energy and will. In addition, I also received…"

"White Tiger Testing Tower and White Tiger Spear, right?"

Hah!?

"You know about this, Your Majesty?" Zheng-Fu did not think the Monster Emperor knew about the fact that he had received several of the White Tiger Guardian Monster Deity's treasures. But when he recognized that the White Tiger Guardian Monster Deity was the Monster Race's guardian, he knew that it was normal for his father-in-law to know.

"I'm the emperor of Monster Race and Half-monster Race. And White Tiger Guardian Monster Deity is my confidant, why wouldn't I know what happened to him? And because of that incident, his energy had decreased by half. Right now, his White Tiger Monster Deity Clan is chasing you chaotically. If they know you're here… Huh!" The Monster Emperor looked at Zheng-Fu with a sly gaze while talking about what happened with the White Tiger Monster Deity. Because he wanted to intimidate Zheng-Fu into fear that he had already become wanted by the White Tiger Monster Deity Clan at that time.

"So what? I received everything righteously. I didn't steal or snatch them. If they dare to come, I dare to play with them. Even if I can't fight, don't think that they can kill me easily. And if they can't do anything to me, I guarantee that I'll take revenge deservedly!" But Zheng-Fu was not at all afraid of being hunted down by the White Tiger Monster Deity Clan. If that faction thought of harming him, he would retaliate hard when he had the opportunity and had enough energy.

Hrrrm!

"You're so cocky, Young Man! Good! Since you dare to request cultivation resources from me, I'll give them to you. But you cannot stay here because it'll disturb my daughter. Moreover, if you stay in here, the energy from the crystals and gems will be absorbed by you, thus reducing Fu-Er's time. It wouldn't be good for her. And I believe you wouldn't want to do that, would you?" Although the Monster Emperor accepted Zheng-Fu's first condition, the second condition was unacceptable. He really did not want Zheng-Fu to be too close to his daughter. Even he only came there once a month so as not to disturb her.

"If you don't agree to the second condition, the first condition will also be canceled." But Zheng-Fu was also very serious about that matter. He knew that what his father-in-law had said was not true at all. He had been in that chamber for quite some time, but he had not received any energy from those crystals and gems. So, he refused.

"I don't agree with that either, Father! After all, these crystals and gems can't help me anymore. The glass coffin absorbed energy until it was full and could not absorb any more than this. So, I think having him here wouldn't be a problem!" Even Fu-Er knew what her father was thinking. Even though she could not see, her sense of perception still worked. She knew that the crystals and gems in that chamber had no meaning for her.

My daughter!

"Why don't you side with your father? Why do you side with this young man so much? I'm your father! Huh!" The Monster Emperor's expression became sad when he heard that. He did not expect his daughter to fall in love with this young man so much like that. Even he, who was her father, seemed to be less important.

"I don't want to take anyone's side. But because my husband came to save me, therefore, I must help him with all my might. But if Father refuses, I'll shout loudly to let Mother know that you…"

Flap!

"I was already thinking that something must have happened! Normally, you don't spend such a long time here. But today you've stayed with our daughter beyond the time limit!"

Hah!?

Mother!

My Love!

Suddenly, a woman with a face that appeared to be in her mid-thirties and a facial outline similar to Fu-Er soared into the vast chamber and spoke in a plain tone. And she was none other than Fu-Er's mother and Monster Emperor's wife. Or she could be called the Monster Empress.

"And who's that? How did an outsider get in here?" The Monster Empress's eyes suddenly glanced over and saw Zheng-Fu standing next to the glass coffin. She immediately asked with a questioning expression and used her psychic to examine Zheng-Fu's entire body.

"Respect, Your Majesty. My name is Zheng-Fu, surname Tian-Tang. I'm a person from Gravel World who came to find my wife in Deity Land. And Fu-Er is my wife!" Zheng-Fu immediately introduced himself to the mother-in-law very politely, which was different from when talking to his father-in-law.

Ah, it's you!

"You're the person Fu-Er talks about so often. I never thought you would be able to arrive here without us knowing. Or did you enter through the ancient gate?" Fu-Er's mother looked slightly shocked when she learned who Zheng-Fu was and where he came from. However, she really liked this straightforward and brave personality. But what she was curious about was how Zheng-Fu got in there.

"That's right, Your Majesty. I entered here through the ancient gate you said. But I didn't know before that on the other side of the ancient gate is this place, and where my wife stays," Zheng-Fu did not hesitate to explain to his mother-in-law.

Umm!

"You don't have to call me by my full royal title like that. You can call me Aunty Qi-Bai. Or you can call me Mother-in-law, whichever is more convenient for you. After all, you and my daughter are now husband and wife. Considering that right now we're like a family…"

No, we aren't!

"Even though they were once married. But that's a marriage without us. And I still haven't accepted this young man. Therefore, the marriage is considered invalid!" But before Fu-Er's mother could finish her sentence, the Monster Emperor interrupted, disapproving and dissatisfied.

"You're really stubborn and haven't changed at all. Our daughter is old enough to have a husband. And she had met her true love, too. Why do you still not understand and agree with her? Don't you remember what you had to go through before we became lovers and became a family? I know how you feel. But our daughter has already decided on this matter. Therefore, both of us as parents should help support our child, not hurt her feelings like this!"

When Fu-Er's mother heard her husband's words, her face immediately changed to one of displeasure. Before she scolded the Monster Emperor with a long string of words, leaving no space for him to respond.

"But this matter… This matter is not related at all. If our daughter likes to travel, I'll support her. If she wants to practice skills, I'll find a good master to teach her. And if she wants to be the governor, I'll order people to build a city for her. But on this matter of marriage, I cannot agree. Because he and I had already made a bet. If he can't do what was agreed upon..., he has to exchange his life for our daughter's life!"

The Monster Emperor seemed to be very afraid of his wife. But even then, he still tried to find an excuse to argue. Before he talked about the bet between him and Zheng-Fu.

Hah!?

Bet?

"What did you bet with him?" Fu-Er's mother immediately frowned when she heard her husband's words.

"He said he could break through to the Great Deity Stage in five months. If he can't, he'll have to exchange his life for our daughter's life. But he has conditions: I must give him the resources for cultivation that he wants. And we must let him cultivate his energy in this chamber!" The Monster Emperor explained to his wife the betting agreement between him and Zheng-Fu.

Hah!?

"If so, we should say yes. The conditions he asked for were simple. So why do you have to put on such a serious and disapproving face? Or have you already refused?"

"For that matter, I…"
