The CEO's Wife Is A Demon God's Daughter-Chapter 743 He Is Inside You
Tristan didn't expect this turn of events. They were searching for FaMo but they ended up finding Zu Wan, Zhen-Zhen's real father.
How could this be possible? He thought the demon god was already gone and Zhen-Zhen was already an orphan. Could it be possible that her mother was also alive?
'I should commend Agent Phoenix for finding my father-in-law! I should give him a bonus. But why do I feel like I am in trouble?'
Tristan stood up and went back to his seat, his eyes focused on Zu Wan who was looking at him with an eyebrow raised. It seemed that Zu Wan didn't like him.
'Oh God, where is FaMo? Do I have to gain my father-in-law's favor again?' Tristan felt like crying.
He glanced at Zhen-Zhen as if he was trying to ask for help before getting killed by the demon god.
He knew it was a ridiculous thing to judge and think that the demon god might harm him. But he could just help but overthink because he was frightened and intimidated by Zu Wan's strong presence.
He was indeed the demon god. He was like a king. He wouldn't want to offend him. Besides, he was Zhen-Zhen's father, his father-in-law. He should respect him and gain his approval.
"Hello, Father-in-law! I'm Tristan Davis, Zhen-Zhen's husband. I'm so happy to finally meet you."
Tristan introduced himself, bowing his head before him. He wanted to praise himself for not stuttering while greeting his real father-in-law.
Zhen-Zhen tried to hold her laughter. She could feel it. Tristan was very nervous right now.
She turned to her father, holding his hand, and said, "Fa-Fa, Tristan is a good guy. He took care of me. I love him just like how you love Mo-Mo. I hope you will like him too."
This was Zhen-Zhen's way of helping Tristan. She wanted them to get along well. They belonged to one family now.
Zu Wan looked at his daughter helplessly. He had to trust his daughter's judgment. He sighed deeply, moving his gaze back to Tristan. He would try to get to know him for his daughter's sake.
"I'm Zu Wan," he said, formally introducing himself to Tristan. He also accepted Tristan's hand for a handshake.
Tristan smiled awkwardly when he felt that Zu Wan was gripping his hand too tightly.
'Is he trying to break my fingers?' Tristan thought to himself, forcing a smile.
Tristan felt relieved when Zu Wan finally loosened his grip, releasing his hand.
It did not take long when Tristan blurted out something.
"Wifey, how about FaMo? Does it mean he is still missing?"
Zu Wan arched his eyebrow upon hearing that name. "Who is FaMo?"
Zhen-Zhen's expression changed as she was reminded of FaMo. Her face was covered by worries and concerns for FaMo.
"He is my protector, father. One of your fire dragons. He is your Black Fire Dragon…"
"You met my fire dragons? Did you inherit my powers? No wonder I can no longer communicate with them…" Zu Wan said excitedly, feeling so proud of Zhen-Zhen.
"Father, this will be a long story. But first of all, I wanna know what happened to you. How did you get here? In this world?" Zhen-Zhen asked Zu Wan.
Tristan and Zhen-Zhen were eager to know what happened.
"I don't know. The last time I remember is that I was in the forest, hunting wild boars for your first birthday. Then I just woke up in this unfamiliar world. I felt like I've been sleeping for a long time." Zu Wan explained to them.
He continued telling them what he had seen upon waking up. Zhen-Zhen and Tristan were able to connect the dots.
The one who got released from the crystal was not FaMo, but the demon god. Not knowing he was in the Davis Mansion, He had no recollection of FaMo's memory so Zu Wan teleported and left the mansion.
They also confirmed that Zu Wan was the same person Tristan met in the hospital. A mother and a daughter helped him and brought him there.
Tristan and Zhen-Zhen had learned about Ella and Titania's story. But she had no idea that Titania was the woman she saw who looked like her mother, Eva.
"My daughter, you haven't answered my question yet. Where is your mother? What happened to her?"
It seemed that Zhen-Zhen could no longer avoid this topic. But she didn't want to break her father's heart by telling him Eva died while protecting him.
She was afraid that Zu Wan would blame himself. Or worse, his heart would be filled with hatred and vengeance once again. Maybe forgetting that painful memory was for the better.
She saw how Zu Wan almost killed everyone in the cave but fortunately, she was there to stop him. She didn't want her father to avenge Eva's death so she decided to lie.
"Fa-Fa… Mo-Mo is gone… she died because of illness. You disappeared for a thousand years. Everything in this world has changed. This is not the same world as before."
Zu Wan fell silent. He couldn't believe it. He disappeared for some unknown reason. But now he returned, his beloved woman was already gone.
He hoped to see her but that hope crumbled today. He knew it. Eva was just a human so she would die eventually since she didn't have power, unlike Zhen-Zhen who could live a long life like him.
Zu Wan felt like every ounce of his energy was drained. He was heartbroken. He thought he didn't even see her at the last moment. But little did he know, it would be more painful if he would remember Eva's last moment.
Zu Wan didn't want to cry in front of Tristan and Zhen-Zhen so he held it in. He sat down, clenching his fists.
"I'm sorry, Zhen-Zhen. Your father failed to protect your mother. I was not there with you when you were growing. I was not by your side. Please forgive this useless father of yours."
"No, Fa-Fa, don't say that. You did your best. You protected me so well. See, I have here your fire dragons. You were the one who sent them to me as my protectors. However, I can only summon Orange Fire and Black Fire. Father, don't blame yourself. Okay? Just stay by my side from now on."
Zhen-Zhen hugged her father, letting him know that his presence was more than enough.
"By the way, can I talk to one of the fire dragons, Zhen-Zhen? Can you summon the orange fire dragon?"
"Okay, Fa-Fa… I named her Miho. You can call her Miho now," Zhen-Zhen muttered with a bright smile.
Zu Wan: "..."
He didn't expect that Zhen-Zhen would give them names. He felt amused by her actions. He recalled how Zhen-Zhen was very fond of animals like rabbits, birds, and others. No wonder, she became closer to the fire dragons, treating them so well as part of her family.
Before summoning Miho, Zhen-Zhen talked to her through their mind link. She asked her not to reveal the truth to Zu Wan.
"Father-in-law, what power do you have right now?" Tristan asked him out of the blue. He was curious to know so that he would be more careful not to piss him off.
"I can only teleport as of now," Zu Wan answered nonchalantly.
Tristan's lips twitched, fighting a smile. "How about fire?"
"I don't have that power as of now." He answered him truthfully.
That's the time Miho appeared in front of them. She was in her fireball form.
"Master, welcome back!" Miho's cheerful voice was heard.
"I'm glad to see you, Miho. Thank you for protecting my daughter. I heard the news that my daughter got into an accident and nothing happened to her because you protected her."
Zu Wan was commending her right now. This was the first time Zu Wan did this. He even thanked her. He didn't usually do this.
"That's our duty, Master."
Zhen-Zhen could feel that Miho was so happy to see the demon god. Her fire was glowing brightly.
"Black fire… I mean FaMo is missing. Can't you find him?" Zu Wan asked Miho.
"He is my dragon general. Do you think he knew what happened to me? Why did I disappear? I need some answers so we have to find FaMo."
Tristan and Zhen-Zhen also wanted to find FaMo. They missed him. They thought that FaMo would be happy to see his old master.
"Master, we don't need to find FaMo anymore…" ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢
Tristan and Zhen-Zhen were taken aback when they heard that. They suddenly got worried.
,m Zhen-Zhen: "Why, Miho?"
Tristan: "Don't tell me… FaMo is gone?"
Zu Wan: "Explain to us what you mean, Miho."
"FaMo whom we are looking for… I can sense him… his faint aura. He is inside you, Master. He is not gone. But I think he is too weak right now, trying to recover his power. Let's wait for him to come back." Miho informed them.
