Chapter 801 - [Bonus ] A Danger From Within

Tristan was in panic mode when FaMo suggested replaying the flashback of his first encounter with Zhen-Zhen in that waterfall.

At that certain moment, he knew he was doomed as Zu Wan would know how he took advantage of Zhen-Zhen. He touched her body without her consent.

Tristan was screaming in his mind, wishing to stop FaMo but he could no longer utter a word and he stood frozen in his spot, his entire body sweating coldly.

It did not take long when FaMo started playing the scene of their first encounter. 

'Damn! I'm so dead! Will my father-in-law kill me after watching the flashback? Oh Lord, please save me. I still need to propose to my wife and live longer together with her and our twins,' Tristan was silently praying.

Meanwhile, Zu Wan was so focused on FaMo's fireball which was showing the flashbacks. At first, he saw Tristan swimming under the water then later on Zhen-Zhe appeared. 

Zu Wan frowned upon seeing his daughter naked while walking towards Tristan. As if FaMo had read his mind, he explained something to Zu Wan.

"Master, Zhen-Zhen was sealed when she was one year old. Her dress got destroyed as she grew up since her body became larger than before. So when I sent her to this world, she was no longer wearing her clothes."

Zu Wan didn't say a word. He just nodded but his eyes were still fixed on the fireball.

Then he saw Zhen-Zhen move towards Tristan. The next thing he saw made Zu Wan crumple his face as he saw Tristan tracing Zhen-Zhen's naked body.

Tristan suddenly felt a chill down his spine as Zu Wan was now emanating a frightening aura. His face was so dark.

Tristan gulped hard, his heart pounding so hard and rapidly from nervousness. Zu Wan looked at him with a deathly glare. He just smiled apologetically, looking away. He couldn't look straight into Zu Wan's eyes as he felt guilty.

Just when he thought he would be roasted soon, Zu Wan moved his gaze back to the fireball. Then another scene caught Zu Wan's attention.

Zhen-Zhen was looking for her Fa-Fa and Mo-Mo. Then Zu Wan saw the sadness and sorrow in her blue eyes when she thought her parents were already gone.

Zu Wan's heart clenched as if it was being squeezed after seeing Zhen-Zhen's sadness. He could imagine the loneliness she felt thinking she was abandoned by her parents.

Fortunately, at a young age, Zhen-Zhen understood that her parents didn't abandon her but that circumstances forced them to be separated. Her mother died protecting her father while her father disappeared after protecting her.

The anger Zu Wan felt towards Tristan a while ago suddenly disappeared when he saw him comforting Zhen-Zhen. He hugged her so she would not cry. He gave her consoling words, telling her he would help her search for her parents around the mountain.

Zu Wan was grateful that Tristan was there to accompany Zhen-Zhen, comforting her. That scene saved Tristan from being roasted alive.

Tristan heaved a sigh of relief when FaMo's aura changed. He was no longer angry and mad at him.

"Thank you for comforting my daughter. Because of that, I will not punish you for taking advantage of her innocence."

"Thank you, father. I'm sorry about that. I can't help it. Your daughter possesses an otherworldly beauty. I was mesmerized and captivated that I couldn't stop myself from admiring her and… touching her," Tristan admitted to Zu Wan.

Zu Wan raised his eyebrow. But thinking about it, Tristan was right. Zhen-Zhen was like a goddess of beauty just like her mother. He could understand Tristan's feelings as he might do the same if he was in his position.

"Okay. Stop playing that FaMo. Let's survey the area to make sure this place will be safe for Tristan and Zhen-Zhen."

'Whoa, that's a close call.' Tristan wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead. Now he could finally relax.

Tristan, FaMo, and Zu Wan roamed around the mountain, making sure there were no wild animals that would disrupt Tristan's and Zhen-Zhen's moments.

"I think we should put a barrier just in case, for everyone's protection. We never know Guardian Warriors will suddenly show up again." FaMo suggested to them.

Zu Wan and Tristan exchanged glances with one another. They forgot about this. They seemed confident that the guardian warriors would no longer approach them because of Zu Wan's warning. But FaMo just reminded them of precautionary measures.

"FaMo, you are right. We will create a barrier within a 3 kilometers radius from the waterfalls." Zu Wan agreed with FaMo's suggestion.

"Father, why don't you give me power too! So that I can protect my wife!" Tristan didn't forget about this thing. He was eager to have powers too.

'Here we go again,' FaMo thought to himself while rolling his eyes.

"Master and I are here. You don't need powers. Just focus on your proposal. We will be the ones staying on guard to keep you safe."

Tristan pouted his lips, feeling disheartened because of FaMo's refusal.

"Tristan, just be patient. We will do it after your wedding as I promise. Don't rush things." Zu Wan consoled him.

Tristan could only bob his head obediently. He had to listen to his father-in-law.

"I understand, father. Now, our lives are in your hands," Tristan said.

FaMo just shook his head helplessly as he could see the disappointment in Tristan's eyes.

'Hmm, this guy is really desperately asking for power.'

Twenty minutes later, the three finished surveying the area. Soon, FaMo and Zu Wan started building a barrier around the area. With this barrier, they could also sense some intruders. Wild animals couldn't pass through the barrier.

They thought the barrier was enough to protect the couple and detect if some guardian warriors would try to attack them again. 

A mountain was a perfect place for a battle, no ordinary people around so the guardian warriors would not hesitate to attack once they crossed paths once again.

But little did they know, the danger would not come from the outside… but it's already inside the barrier.
