Chapter 769: Her True Purpose

~ At Tristan's Condo Unit ~

Zhen-Zhen immediately went to see Zu Wan and FaMo after hearing the good news from Miho. She just used teleportation to get there fast.

FaMo, who was now in his cat form, jumped forward after seeing Zhen-Zhen. She caught FaMo in her arms, hugging her tightly.

"FaMo! You are back! I missed you so much! We missed you! The twins, Tristan and me!" Zhen-Zhen couldn't stop herself from shedding tears. These were tears of joy.

Zu Wan could only smile while watching his daughter hugging his fire dragon. He was still amazed to see his fire dragons in their different animal forms- FaMo as black cat while Miho as orange puppy.

FaMo, on the other hand, was savoring this moment. He could feel the longing in her heart. He also missed her.

The moment he was trying to recover his power back, he always thought of Zhen-Zhen. He was worried that while he was not around, someone would try to hurt her again.

FaMo believed that he was Zhen-Zhen's protector. So he tried to recover his power as fast as he could. He didn't waste more time as he meditated inside Zu Wan's body.

No wonder he felt something strange. It turned out that his master was back. Almost everyone thought he was dead. But here he was, alive and breathing.

Since Zu Wan had recovered his memory, he could explain what happened to him one hundred years ago.

"How have you been? Do you know that we were so worried about you?" Zhen-Zhen asked FaMo again.

"Don't disappear like that again. You scared me to death." Zhen-Zhen complained to FaMo over and over again.

FaMo could only smile helplessly. He didn't mean to make her worry. It's just that his power was absorbed after protecting her from the harmful effect of the crystaline potion.

"Don't be sad, Zhen-Zhen. I am back. Your father is back as well."

"Ahem. Why do I feel like you loved FaMo more than me, now, my daughter?! I'm jealous!" Zu Wan finally spoke up, teasing Zhen-Zhen.

Zhen-Zhen wiped her tears and moved closer to Zu Wan. She leaned on his chest, still hugging FaMo in her arms. 

Zu Wan rubbed her back, comforting her. It seemed that Zhen-Zhen's pregnancy was causing her to be more emotional these days.

"Fa-Fa, don't be jealous. Both you and FaMo are important to me. I can't afford to lose any of you. Please don't leave me again. Please stay by my side!" Zhen-Zhen said with her pleading voice.

This was the first time she showed her vulnerable side, expressing her real feelings. She was so afraid to be left behind again.

She was so happy about this reunion that she didn't want to think that all of this was just a dream. As far as she wanted, she didn't want this happiness to end.

"No one is leaving you behind. We are here for you…. FaMo, Tristan and I," Zu Wan said with his gentle voice.

Zu Wan guided Zhen-Zhen to sit down first. Miho and FaMo sat on her left side while Zu Wan was on her right side.

They stayed like that as they waited for her to calm down and gather her emotions. When Zu Wan could feel that she finally relaxed, he opened up a conversation.

"Zhen-Zhen, there is something I wanna tell you." 

"What is it, Fa-Fa?" She looked straight into his eyes, waiting to hear his story.

"My memories came back. I know what happened in the past. Your mother… She died protecting me against the guardian warriors. I'm sorry for leaving you behind just like that, Zhen-Zhen."

"They failed to harm you but still, they were able to seal you. I shouldn't have used an alternative to protect you. Because of me, you felt so lonely for the past hundred years. I'm sorry my daughter! I'm really sorry." Zu Wan even dropped on the floor, kneeling in front of Zhen-Zhen as he apologized for abandoning her in the hands of the guardian warriors.

"No, Fa-Fa! It's not your fault. You already did your best to protect me. I am not blaming you." Zhen-Zhen squeezed his hands, trying to pull him up.

"I failed to protect your mother…" Zu Wan's tears fell like raindrops.

Zhen-Zhen wiped his tears away. "Mo-Mo loves you so much. I know she is happy to see us together."

Zu Wan nodded his head in agreement. "You are right. Eva might be happy now…"

"But father, what happened? What triggered you to remember everything? Is it because of FaMo?" Zhen-Zhen asked him curiously.

Zu Wan fell silent, his expression darkening as he recalled what transpired a while ago.

"Zhen-Zhen, we have to be careful from now on. The guardian warriors are able to follow us here."

Zhen-Zhen was taken aback when she heard that. Now, her suspicion might be right. The people who were secretly monitoring them a few days ago might be the guardian warriors.

"I had an encounter with them in Mt. Satari. They used Titania and Ella to lure me, thinking they could easily eliminate me because of the absence of my power. But they miscalculated everything."

"Because of what they did, it triggered my memory. I ended up remembering everything and awakening my power. I fought them in the mountain peak together with FaMo."

"But don't worry, I didn't kill anyone as I am thinking about you. FaMo also reminded me of this. Ella and Titania were also safe. They are currently sleeping in your room."

Zhen-Zhen felt glad that nothing bad happened to them.

"What is their purpose in coming here again?"

"They want to eliminate me… and my daughter, thinking we are a threat to humans and to their world."

Zhen-Zhen clenched her fists. She felt the anger deep inside her heart. She couldn't understand why the guardian warriors refused to see that they were no evil.

They just wanted to live in harmony. But here they were, trying to ruin their quiet and peaceful life once again.

"I can't tolerate them anymore. If they try to harm and hurt my twins, my father, or any of my family members… I will never forgive them."

"Don't worry, Zhen-Zhen! We will protect you and your family!" Both Miho and FaMo said in unison.

Zu Wan and Zhen-Zhen thanked the two fire dragons. Now, she wondered when she would be able to awaken the other dragons.

"By the way, Fa-Fa, what happened to you when you suddenly disappeared after casting the protective spell? Do you remember?"

Zu Wan bobbed his head. He could remember everything now.

"When I used all my powers and transferred them to you all at once, Black Fire… I mean FaMo absorbed me inside his body to preserve my life. But FaMo was not aware of it, until today." Zu Wan started to explain.

FaMo was the core power of the demon god. The demon god didn't die but he fused in FaMo's body. This was one of the reasons why FaMo had some recollections of Zu Wan's memory.

Zu Wan was too weak so he also slept for a hundred years. He was heartbroken as well for losing Eva so he tried to hide the unpleasant memories in his subconscious. So when he woke up, he couldn't remember anything that happened during the encounter with the guardian warriors.

In fact, the crystaline potion had also triggered Zu Wan to come back as FaMo got seriously injured. They exchanged roles. Zu Wan resurfaced while FaMo slept inside his body. That would explain what happened in the past.

Zhen-Zhen was already glad that Zu Wan and FaMo were both back. She planned on celebrating tonight together with Tristan.

"Hmm! I miss eating food!" FaMo suddenly blurted out at the mention of celebration.

Zhen-Zhen burst out laughing as she could remember how FaMo loved eating human food now.

"Okay, FaMo. I'll order your favorite food and drinks!" Zhen-Zhen patted his head. She knew that Tristan would also be happy to see FaMo.

Meanwhile, inside Zhen-Zhen's room, Titania was already awake. She was staring blankly at the ceiling. She saw a portion of what happened on Mt. Satari and she overheard some of the conversation between Zu Wan and the guardian warriors. She just pretended to be asleep.

Titania was still in shock with the discovery of Zu Wan's identity.

"He is the demon god. The man I was looking for…" Titania mumbled to herself, complicated emotions flashed through her eyes.

After a while, Titania clenched her fists while slamming her eyes shut. A single tear fell down from the corner of her eyes.

Just like Zu Wan, the incident in the mountain peak brought back some memories to Titania. She was reminded of the true purpose of her coming to this world.

Now that she confirmed Zu Wan's identity, she already knew what to do. Titania glanced to her side, looking at Ella who was sound asleep. She reached out, caressing her cheeks.
