Chapter 774 - Fell Into Her Own Trap
After the surprise encounter with the guardian warriors, Zhen-Zhen and Zu Wan became more cautious.
Zu Wan wanted FaMo to watch over Zhen-Zhen but she refused. She wanted FaMo to stay with her father and protect him against the guardian warriors.
Zhen-Zhen and Tristan visited Zu Wan again today. They were having a family bonding together with FaMo and Miho.
Tristan was so happy that FaMo was back. He kept on carrying him in his arms, petting his head.
FaMo wanted to complain but he couldn't speak up as Ella was also there playing with Miho.
"FaMo, I missed you so much, do you know that? I will call you FaMo now since my real father-in-law is here," Tristan cheerfully mumbled.
FaMo could only roll his eyes because of Tristan's enthusiasm. But he had to admit that he missed Tristan as well.
"FaMo, I'm getting ready for my upcoming proposal. Father-in-law already agreed to help me. You will help us in the preparation right?" Tristan whispered in FaMo's ears.
FaMo nodded his head and whispered back, "Of course, I will do that… for my Zhen-Zhen."
Tristan became livelier because of FaMo's response. He simply approached Zu Wan while Zhen-Zhen, Miho, and Ella were still playing with each other.
"Father, I heard that you regained your power…"
"Yes, I did… why?"
"Did you fight the guardian warriors? Are they strong?" Tristan asked him expectantly.
"Of course not! I am more powerful than them!" Zu Wan said proudly.
FaMo tried his best to control his laughter. He could see that the demon god was boasting to his son-in-law, Tristan.
"Ahem, father. I also wish to be powerful… Can you help me?"
Zu Wan arched his eyebrow, eyeing Tristan from top to bottom. FaMo could only facepalm as he didn't see this coming.
'Don't tell me he is planning to request a ridiculous thing from my master?' FaMo thought to himself.
"What do you want?" Zu Wan asked Tristan.
"Father, can you transfer some of your powers to me? Teach me how to use it so that I can also protect my wife!" Tristan said with his pleading look. He even rubbed his palms in front of him.
Tristan was trying his luck, hoping that Zu Wan would grant his wish.
"Are you sure? It's dangerous. You might die if something goes wrong. Zhen-Zhen will not allow you to do this."
"But father, I want to do this. Let's keep this a secret from her. I want to gain power to protect my wife. People are trying to hurt her." Tristan put on a pitiful face, convincing Zu Wan.
If FaMo were to decide, he would not allow Tristan to undergo that process. It was dangerous and too risky. There was no guarantee that it would be successful.
But the last call would still depend on Zu Wan and Tristan. If he wanted to do it with Tristan, FaMo had to follow and obey the demon god's order.
"Let me think about this first. I don't want my daughter to cry if something bad happens to her beloved husband. Do you want Zhen-Zhen to hate me? How will I explain it to her?"
The truth was Zu Wan was also worried for Tristan's safety.
"Father, don't worry. I am strong. FaMo and Miho already tried to fuse with my body. Nothing bad happened to me." Tristan reassured Zu Wan.
"But giving you power is different from Miho and FaMo fusing with your body."
"Sigh. Father, just trust me. Because I also trust you. I know you can help me. My wife is pregnant right now. She is not allowed to fight the guardian warriors. I will fight them on her behalf!" Tristan was so determined to get his power from Zu Wan.
"Hmm. You should focus on your proposal first. Let's do this after your wedding! In the meantime, I will be the one protecting my daughter with the help of FaMo and Miho."
Tristan almost jumped in happiness. Zu Wan's answer was like he was agreeing with Tristan's suggestion. He was considering it.
"Thanks, Father! Don't worry. I can handle everything when it comes to my wife. As long as I can protect her, I will make the impossible possible!" There was confidence in his voice. Tristan said those words with a hopeful look in his eyes.
FaMo just watched Tristan and Zu Wan helplessly. It seemed that they were getting along well now. They even connived to do this without consulting Zhen-Zhen.
"Thank you in advance, father!"
Zu Wan just nodded his head. Soon, Zhen-Zhen joined them.
"What are you two talking about?" Zhen-Zhen asked them, eyeing them suspiciously.
"Oh Wifey, I am just asking my father-in-law for some tips on how to take care of our babies. They will have powers. I wonder how I can help in teaching them to use and control their power properly," Tristan said as an alibi.
"Father, you should teach me that as well, okay?" Tristan said to Zu Wan in a low voice.
Zhen-Zhen could only smile at them. She was glad to see Tristan and Zu Wan bonding together.
"Wifey, since the guardian warriors already know our address, should we transfer to another place for your father's safety including Ella and Titania?"
Zhen-Zhen looked around, watching her surroundings. This house had sentimental value to her. She couldn't bear to abandon this house.
This was the place where she stayed together with Tristan. This was where she learned everything in this world. This was her first home. This house possessed lots of memories about Tristan and her.
"Don't worry. I already warned them not to show their faces in front of me and my family. We don't need to transfer to another house." Zu Wan expressed his opinion. He could feel that Zhen-Zhen was reluctant to abandon and leave this house.
"Okay, father-in-law. I will trust you with this. Just keep safe. If someone tries to attack you here don't hesitate to call me. I will also ask Grandpa's help in strengthening the security around the area so that strangers will not come here..."
"...Maybe I have to ask the Fiery Eagles for their assistance."
Zhen-Zhen smiled at the mention of Fiery Eagles. They had proven how capable they were in dealing and wrapping up the problem with the Miller Family.
"Asking for their help is a good idea. Besides, Miho and FaMo will be on high alert as well," Zhen-Zhen said, looking at FaMo and Miho.
It did not take long when Titania arrived. She came from the Heavenly Star Enterprise. She just finished her work today.
Ever since that incident, Titania continued spacing out whenever she's alone. She was bothered by something.
She had been thinking about her mission for the past two days. And now, she has made her decision. She would do it no matter what the cost.
Ella welcomed her mother with a warm hug upon entering the house. Zhen-Zhen and Tristan greeted her as well. The five of them would have dinner together before Tristan and Zhen-Zhen would go back to Davis Family Mansion.
The five of them gathered at the dining table. They ate together while having a casual conversation. Titania shared her experience of working in the Heavenly Star Enterprise while Ella talked about her new school and classmates.
After dinner, Tristan and Zhen-Zhen said goodbye to Zu Wan, Ella, and Titania. FaMo stayed in the house while Miho went home together with Tristan and Zhen-Zhen. Pam-Pam was now back to Tristan's condo unit, accompanying FaMo.
When the husband and wife left, Ella went to her room while Zu Wan and Titania stayed in the living room.
Titania was stealing glances at Zu Wan from time to time. She was contemplating what to do. It did not take long when an idea popped up in her mind.
"Zu Wan, do you want to drink with me tonight? I bought some beers yesterday." Titania asked Zu Wan with a smile.
She didn't know if Zu Wan could handle his liquor. But she wanted to see how he would react after getting drunk.
"Oh sure," Zu Wan responded, curious about how the beer would taste.
Titania smiled triumphantly before standing up to get some canned beers in the refrigerator. She was glad that Ella was sleeping early.
She planned to test Zu Wan's alcohol tolerance tonight.
Titania and Zu Wan continued drinking beer while watching a movie. Titania was letting Zu Wan drink more beer compared to her. She was also careful in hiding her real intention.
Titania didn't expect that Zu Wan could not easily get drunk. He already finished five cans of beer but he was still fine.
'Gosh, how many beers does he have to drink before he can get drunk?' Titania asked herself.
In the end, she was forced to get all the beers in the refrigerator, trying her best to lure Zu Wan with her trap.
But it seemed that she was the one who fell into her own trap as she was the one who got drunk first.
