Zheng-Fu and Qi-Fu-Er walked back to Zheng-Fu's home after the incident with Tian-Qi. They did not seem to talk to each other on the way back. They only took turns looking at one another…

When Zheng-Fu wanted to say something, Qi-Fu-Er also started to utter something. So, they never got a chance to say what they wanted to say. They just continued to walk home. And finally, they arrived at the place…

Roar!

Snarl!

"Hu-Bai! Hu-Jin-Tian!" Zheng-Fu shouted the monsters' names while smiling at them…

"Little one!"

Snarl!

Hu-Jin-Tian ran to Qi-Fu-Er the minute it saw her. The round and small shape of the baby monster looked especially cute when it eagerly shook its tail…

"Let's get in," Zheng-Fu said while leading everyone into the house. Qi-Fu-Er and the two monsters followed suit…

Clomp!

Hu-Bai could not get into the house because its body was bigger than the door. However, Hu-Jin-Tian was very small, so it could come with Zheng-Fu into the house. So, Hu-Bai had to wait outside…

Squeak!

"Mother!"

Zheng-Fu opened the door while calling for his mother. When he got inside, he saw Kong-Shi there too. Both Kong-Shi and Tang-Ling turned to look at him then crinkled their eyebrows. They looked at Zheng-Fu and Qi-Fu-Er suspiciously…

"What!?"

All of a sudden, Zheng-Fu realized that he was holding Qi-Fu-Er's hand. He rushed to let it go and turned to look at her to apologize. Not only Qi-Fu-Er was not mad at him, but she was shy too. She looked down and stared at the ground…

"Tee-hee!"

Tang-Ling who was lying in bed laughed out loud when she saw Zheng-Fu and Qi-Fu-Er together. She did not expect the two would come back hand in hand when they were mad at each other a while ago…

"It's not what you think, mother!" Zheng-Fu rushed to make an excuse immediately…

"I think both of you look right together, Zheng-Fu!" Kong-Shi who sat next to his wife's bed said while smiling at him...

"Father!"

Zheng-Fu could only exclaim his father's name. His face turned red too. Then he turned to Qi-Fu-Er and said…

"Qi-Er! Say something!"

"Qi-Er!?"

"Wait!"

Zheng-Fu started to get more self-conscious when he slipped Qi-Fu-Er's nickname. He would like to disappear in front of everyone there. At this point, Kong-Shi and Tang-Ling could not hold their laughter from the kids…

Qi-Fu-Er remained quiet because of extreme shyness. Her face turned redder. She did not know what to say…

"Alright! Alright! Come on in kids. Don't just stand there. Little Hu-Jin-Tian is so eager to come in now."

Tang-Ling said while smiling at the little monster that was sitting on the floor. It looked at Zheng-Fu and Qi-Fu-Er with a puzzled look…

"Yes, mother!"

Both of them then walked into the room with the little monster. Zheng-Fu joined his father by sitting next to him. Qi-Fu-Er sat at the other side of the bed…

Thud!

"I'll have to leave tomorrow, father, mother! So,…" Zheng-Fu raised the subject that he had to go on a journey tomorrow. He was sad and seemed to lose his words…

The reason that he wanted to go was because of the future of everyone in the clan. However, he hesitated to do so. That was why he could not finish the sentence…

"Son! Your mother and I had talked about a day like this. We know that you'll have to grow up one day and do what you need to do. Don't worry about us. We have a lot of great martial artists with us, so no one can harm us." Kong-Shi said while patting Zheng-Fu's shoulder. He looked at his son as though he believed in and was proud of him…

"That's right, son. I have Hu-Bai with me. Qi-Er can also keep me company. You should worry about yourself." Tang-Ling said after Kong-Shi finished his sentence. She looked at him with great concern…

"Yes, mother. I'll take the best care of myself in the forest. Please don't worry about me!"

Zheng-Fu said while pounding his chest with confidence. He looked up and showed everyone in the room that he could make it back because he had become strong. Then he turned to Qi-Fu-Er and said…

"Don't do anything strange to my mother when I'm not around. Please take care of her for me!"

Zheng-Fu said firmly to Qi-Fu-Er while looking into her eyes…

"Don't worry. I won't do anything strange to your mom. I'll take good care of her. But you must take care of yourself!" Qi-Fu-Er said while looking at Zheng-Fu with a concerned eye…

Zheng-Fu was surprised to see her gentle side. He was trying to provoke her, but she did not get angry with him. She even worried for him…

"I… I… I know that! I don't need you to tell me that! You must also take the best care of yourself!" Zheng-Fu stuttered a little. He tried to hide his face when he said that…

Kong-Shi and Tang-Ling had to laugh at Zheng-Fu's stubbornness. Tang-Ling turned to look at Kong-Shi before saying…

"Like father, like son!"

"What!?"

Kong-Shi's face started to get red instantly after hearing that. Then he said, "Am I like that?" Then he scratched his head…

"Hahaha!"

Everyone laughed out loud with joy. They remained in the room for a conversation and then split to do their things, so Tang-Ling could rest…

Bang!

After they got out of Tang-Ling's room, Kong-Shi turned to Zheng-Fu and said…

"We heard that Elder Lao-Chu's family reached the Cult of Holy Fiery Heaven. His eldest son probably knew what happened by now. I think he was very angry at us. I…"

"I also had someone spying on them so I knew the news. I don't think you should worry about them because they probably don't rush to do things. Even though Elder Lao-Chu's son is a genius in the cult, he can't create a fight with someone outside. That might affect the cult that he is in. I don't think the cult would let him out to fight with us."

Zheng-Fu said while giving assurance to Kong-Shi. Even though he did not know for sure what he thought was right, being in a sect or a cult made it difficult for someone to act before asking for permission…

All cults and sects had strict rules. No one broke the rules unless there was corruption…

"I guess!"

"I hope what you said was right, otherwise, our clan…" Kong-Shi said while feeling sad again…

"Of course! Please don't worry about it. I'll come back with the more powerful force!"

Rustle!

All of a sudden, a hand reached out to grab Zheng-Fu's arm. When Zheng-Fu turned to look, he found Qi-Fu-Er behind him. Kong-Shi and Zheng-Fu were talking without remembering that Qi-Fu-Er was with them…

Qi-Fu-Er was curious about what Zheng-Fu and Kong-Shi were talking about. She wanted to know so she grabbed Zheng-Fu's arm and said…

"I don't know who those people are, but I won't let them hurt aunty Tang-Ling!" Qi-Fu-Er said with her beautiful face…

"Um…!"

Zheng-Fu was stunned by Qi-Fu-Er's smile. Her pretty pink lips and pink cheeks made Zheng-Fu's heart beat crazily…

Thump! Thump!

"Phew!"

Zheng-Fu tried to get back to himself before giving a long exhale to calm himself down. Then he tried to be strong and look at Qi-Fu-Er. Then he said…

"Thank you very much!"

Qi-Fu-Er's face turned red when she heard Zheng-Fu thank her…

"Yeah! I'm very exhausted. Please excuse me, for I need to rest!"

Clomp! Clomp! Clomp!

When Qi-Fu-Er finished her sentence, she dashed out immediately. Zheng-Fu was confused by her action. He had to scratch his head instantly…

"What's up with her? Why's the rush!?"

Zheng-Fu said while staring at Qi-Fu-Er's back until she was out of his sight. Kong-Shi who was next to him noticed the whole thing. He knew the manner of Qi-Fu-Er's but he did not explain it to Zheng-Fu. He could only smile at the two young people…

"Why don't you go take some rest too? You'll have to go into the Forbidden Forest tomorrow. I still have some things to clear. Let's talk again tomorrow." Kong-Shi said while patting Zheng-Fu's shoulder. Then he also walked away with a smile…

"Yes, sir!"

Zheng-Fu continued to stand still in front of his room. He was confused to see his father's smile. And he still wondered why Qi-Fu-Er ran off like that…

Zheng-Fu then looked at the baby monster on the floor. Hu-Jin-Tian was sitting next to him. It looked up to see Zheng-Fu with an innocent eye like a baby…

"Do you understand my father and Qi-Fu-Er, little one?" Zheng-Fu asked with a curious face…

Snarl!

The little baby monster merely cried and rolled around Zheng-Fu. It did not understand what Zheng-Fu said. It just played like a baby…

"Well, I forgot that you don't understand what I said!"

Zheng-Fu sighed and walked into his room with the little baby monster. He had in his mind what he needed to prepare before going into the Forbidden Forest…

So, Zheng-Fu spent the whole night cultivating his energy so he could balance his energy and body to be in the most perfect state…

Hu-Jin-Tian slept beside him. The baby monster benefitted from the golden aura that came from Zheng-Fu's cultivation as well…
