Chapter 1114 - 1114: The Ancient Gate
"Please don't quarrel with each other. I don't want to cause any arguments among you. After all, in the future, after I break through to the Great Deity Stage, we'll become one family. But first, I must go back to cultivating. As for..."
No!!!
"You must cultivate here. You don't have to go anywhere!"
"You must cultivate outside. And I'll give you the resources!"
Suddenly, both Monster Emperor and Monster Empress spoke loudly at the same time, but their next sentences were completely different.
Hah?
"My Dear, why do you trust this young man so much? I don't know who he is or where he comes from. So, we can't let him stay alone with our daughter. Wouldn't it be better for us to let him go outside and cultivate under our watchful eyes?" The Monster Emperor tried to persuade his wife to agree with him, using the excuse of concern for their daughter.
"Let him cultivate here. And I'll give all my resources to him. If it's not enough, I'll find it for you until it is enough. Besides, I'm sure he won't do anything to our daughter!" But the Monster Empress refused to comply and insisted on keeping Zheng-Fu there. Including that she would give all her resources to him, too.
"You can't! You can't do that. You must use those resources for cultivation as well. If you give them to this young man, what about your cultivation? I think it's better to take what I say, My Dear!"
"No! No matter what you say, I'll let him stay here. And you must agree!"
But...
"Erm… Can I say something?"
"You be quiet! It was because of you alone that our family had to be like this. Before, we loved each other very much and never argued. But once you entered, everything changed. If I don't think you can save my daughter, I'll kill you from the start!" The Monster Emperor was very angry. He was very dissatisfied that Zheng-Fu had made his obedient wife angry at him like this. And also, his daughter did not take his side.
"You don't have to listen to him! If he dares to do anything, I'll help you!" Monster Empress chose to support Zheng-Fu with all her might. She quickly moved to stand in front of Zheng-Fu, blocking her husband.
My Dear!
"Both of you, please let me speak! Why are you arguing with each other? How about this? I'd like to request the first condition from Your Majesty Monster Emperor, and disregard the second condition. I'll return to cultivate at my place, and you can send someone to watch over me. Is that good?" Zheng-Fu thought that listening to Fu-Er's father and mother argue like that was wasting his time. Therefore, he changed one of his conditions and asked to return to his clan's manor to cultivate instead.
Hah!!?
The two of them immediately turned to look at Zheng-Fu. And they saw that Zheng-Fu's eyes were very serious and determined, without the slightest hesitation or pretense.
"I agree with that, Son-in-law! Your mother-in-law will support you. Or maybe I can go watch over you by myself. Because I feel uncomfortable here!" Monster Empress Qi-Bai thought for a moment before deciding to agree as Zheng-Fu said. Including offering to keep watch on him. From the tone of her voice, it seemed that she was very dissatisfied with her husband.
No!
"My Dear, you can't do that! It's too dangerous outside. If the Demon Race people find out about this, I'm afraid that..."
"You don't have to say anything. Since you won't let him stay here, I'll go stay with him and watch him closely. If we don't reveal this matter to anyone other than the four of us, the people from the Demon Race won't know where I went. Is it true, Son-in-law?" Monster Empress Qi-Bai still insisted on going with Zheng-Fu. She was not at all afraid of leaving the palace.
"Since the matter of how I came here is still unknown. So, no one will likely know about my departure either. Because I came through that ancient gate! It's right as Mother-in-law said. There shouldn't be any Demon Race who knows about this!" Zheng-Fu smiled with satisfaction, seeing Fu-Er's mother calling him son-in-law. Therefore, he called her 'mother-in-law' with ease.
You!
"But the ancient gate can only be used once. If you open it, we won't be able to use it again. If that's the case…"
"If that's the case, I think I have a way. Let me look at the sealing spells on that gate first. Maybe I can solve them so that they can be used multiple times!" Zheng-Fu hurriedly interrupted the Monster Emperor.
Ah!
Zheng-Fu's words caused both Monster Emperor and Monster Empress to gasp.
They had just recalled that Zheng-Fu had come there through the ancient gate, and it might be possible for him to be able to do as he said.
"Then you can try it out, My Son-in-law. I'll block your father-in-law so he won't interfere with you!" The Monster Empress immediately nodded in agreement with Zheng-Fu's idea and openly supported him.
My Dear!
As time passed, Monster Emperor became more and more depressed. Because Zheng-Fu had turned him into a nobody. Not only did his daughter not side with him, but his beloved wife also took Zheng-Fu's side.
"Thank you so much, Mother-in-law! I'll do my best!" But Zheng-Fu had opposite feelings towards the Monster Emperor. He was very comfortable and warm with the way his mother-in-law treated him.
Great!
You!
Gnash!!!
Monster Emperor clenched his teeth so hard that his teeth nearly broke. He wanted to rush in and tear Zheng-Fu's body right then if it did not affect his daughter. With his energy level, just his gaze with the energy wave could kill Zheng-Fu.
After receiving permission from the Monster Empress, Zheng-Fu did not hesitate and immediately walked to the large gate to see what he could do with its sealing spells.
Hah!?
Umm!
The moment Zheng-Fu looked at those spell characters, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Because the spells carved on that gate were no different from those on the other gate. And there was nothing to indicate that it could only be used once, as Monster Emperor and Monster Empress understood.
"How about it? Can you do anything with it?" Monster Empress asked worriedly because the ancient gate was hundreds of thousands of years old, maybe even millions of years old. She was afraid that Zheng-Fu would not be able to do anything.
"Mother-in-law, don't worry. I only need three days to solve these spells." Zheng-Fu turned to reply to his mother-in-law in a firm and serious tone. And he did not lie about solving the sealing spells.
Huh!
"Just three days? Do you think this is some kind of joke? These spells are hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of years old. A person your age would be able to fix those spells in just three days! Do you really want to die that much?!" However, the Monster Emperor did not believe Zheng-Fu's words. Because even many Great Deity Stage sorcerers from the royal clans could not do anything with those spells. There was absolutely no way Zheng-Fu could do it.
"You still refuse to trust our Son-in-law, My Dear! Don't you see the seriousness in his eyes? Look! Is it the look of someone who is lying or joking?" The Monster Empress hurriedly spoke up to protect Zheng-Fu as soon as her husband finished speaking. She saw and felt that Zheng-Fu was not talking nonsense at all.
My Dear!
"Aren't you going to side with your husband?" The Monster Emperor was stunned. He wanted to cry right then. Because whatever he said was completely wrong in his wife's eyes.
"Mother was right, sir, Father! You should believe Zheng-Fu because he never once lied. Since he said he could do it, he must be able to do it!" Fu-Er suddenly spoke up, defending Zheng-Fu as well. It was a bit difficult for her to say that because one side was her father and the other side was her husband.
My daughter!
"Do you see a man better than your father?" Hearing Fu-Er defend Zheng-Fu made Monster Emperor even more angry and resentful towards Zheng-Fu. He tried to put on a pitiful expression and asked his daughter in a sad tone.
"Yes, sir! If you don't stop acting like this, I won't love you anymore!" Fu-Er forced herself to say those words to make her father believe in Zheng-Fu.
Hah!
"Yes! Our daughter was right. If you still act like this, I won't love you either!" The Monster Empress also said after her daughter. She did not expect her daughter to say such things. But that might be the only way to get her husband to soften.
Sigh!
"All right! I won't hinder him any longer. But if he can't do it... Don't accuse me of being cruel to him!" The Monster Emperor finally had to admit the truth. The pressure put on by his daughter and wife was too much for him to bear.
Excellent!
"The green light has been given, Son-in-law, do your best! You can do it. Don't let my daughter and me be disappointed. And during these three days, both of us will be here to watch over you!" The Monster Empress turned to smile at Zheng-Fu before telling him to take action.
"All right, Mother-in-law! I'll definitely not disappoint you and my wife. Because my goal is to live and marry her while having her family witness our love!" Zheng-Fu nodded and immediately responded. Before he slightly emphasized his words to the Monster Emperor in satisfaction.
You!
Monster Emperor knew that Zheng-Fu was speaking sarcastically to him. But because he could not do anything to Zheng-Fu, he only let out a single frustrated word and shut his mouth.
Zheng-Fu then did not hesitate to begin dispelling all the sealing spells on the ancient gate. He had solved them once before, so it was not difficult to dispel them again.
Three days passed…
Booooom!!!
Success!
Zheng-Fu was finally able to dispel all the spells on the ancient gate on the third day, exactly as he had requested. But actually, it only took him two and a half days. Because at that time, it had not yet been three full days.
"Is it finished, Son-in-law?" The Monster Empress asked as soon as she saw Zheng-Fu stop his actions and let out a shout.
"Yes, Mother-in-law! Now we can use this ancient gate as many times as we want. But the person who can open it must get my permission first!" Zheng-Fu smiled and answered his mother-in-law.
Hah!!?
What did you say!?!
