After seeing Mei Xing in this state, Aria was conflicted about what she should do with her husband—no, her ex-husband. She awaited Mei Xing's response.
"How should I dispose of you, my father?" Mei Hua asked in a chilling tone.
Mei Xing was shocked, wondering how he ended up in this condition. Had his plan gone wrong? No, it was because of that black-haired guy.
"You, because of you, I didn't succeed in my plan," Mei Xing exclaimed angrily. As Mei Hua was about to retaliate, Ethan started laughing.
"Hahaha, you said that if I didn't exist here, you would have succeeded in your plan. What a joke. No matter what you do, at the end of the day, she would have remained safe, and you would have faced consequences," said Ethan mockingly.
"Well, if I hadn't interfered, your wife would have sacrificed herself to send Mei Hua to safety. After that, she would have lived a harsh life, protecting herself from the Royal Court. Eventually, she would have become stronger and destroyed them," continued Ethan.
"Even if you had captured her, do you really think you could harm her? If you believe you are the only one who knows about her physique, you're wrong. The most powerful beings in the Chaos Verse are aware of her existence, and they would do anything to protect her—even if it means destroying all lower and upper planes, because their future depends on her," conveyed Ethan telepathically.
"What do you mean by that?" asked a confused Mei Xing.
"You don't need to worry about anything other than yourself, because your hell is about to begin," said Ethan, summoning a black-colored orb.
Seeing that Aria was not in the mood to punish him, and not wanting Mei Hua to kill her father (He is sweet to his loved ones and for other his is a Devil), Ethan sent him to the black orb, a form of hell used to torture criminals in the Darkness Domain.
After sending him to hell, Ethan turned around to see Mei Hua comforting her mother.
"Mei and Aria, we are leaving the Lower Plane and going to the Upper Realm, where I will help Mei increase her strength. As for you, mother-in-law, I have a good opportunity that can enhance your strength. I think there is nothing holding you back here in the Lower Plane," said Ethan, noting their downcast faces.
"If there is, make sure to take care of it or destroy it, because we are departing as soon as possible," added Ethan.
In the Upper Plane Royal Domain,
A handsome middle-aged man exuded confidence with his well-groomed appearance. His facial features were a blend of maturity and vitality, accentuated by a neatly trimmed beard or a distinguished look. His fashion sense reflected a mix of sophistication and contemporary style, adding to his overall charismatic presence. He stood with guards and a similarly looking young man.
Suddenly, space distorted, and a young-looking female with several cuts on her face and body appeared, shocking and alerting everyone. As the guards were about to attack, they suddenly stopped because the identity of the lady who came through the space portal was none other than their princess, Xia Royal.
"Who made you look like this?" said the emperor in a chilling voice. If his voice could kill, it would have destroyed the entire domain. On the other side, the Royal Prince was also visibly angry.
"Father, I…I feel humiliated and do not want to live. Please kill me," said Xia Royal in a tearful voice.
"Calm down, my dear Xia, and tell me what happened in the Mortal World," said Xia Royal's father, Ming Royal.
Initially hesitant to send their daughter to the Lower Plane, they eventually agreed due to her insistence, but they didn't expect someone to be so audacious to hurt Royal court princess.
"Father, when I went to Gaia to pick up the girl with Primordial Chaos Physique, I was attacked by a very hand... rude guy. He humiliated me," said Xia Royal, tears streaming down her face.
After listening to her daughter, Ming Royal was stunned. He was sure he heard her daughter was about to say very handsome man, but her daughter continued her story.
"I asked him to be my husband, but he rejected me and insulted me. When I said I couldn't live without him, he beat me up. He was strong, probably at the peak of the Lower Plane and had some treasure to amplify his attacks. I can't defeat him with my power sealed, so I ran away," explained Xia Royal.
"Do not worry, my daughter. I will send all our elite troops to kill that man and destroy that whole planet after securing that girl," declared Ming Royal. As he was about to give the command, Xia Royal stopped him.
"Father, that arrogant man said he will come to the Royal Domain to destroy it in three days," Xia Royal added with disdain.
"What? How dare he become so audacious! Let him come; we will give him the worst death in the history of the Royal Court," said Ming Royal with a vicious expression.
"What if he runs away?" questioned Bing Royal, the prince of the Royal Court.
"No, he will not, and even if he does, I have seen his face, so we can use that to capture him," said Xia with confidence.
"Okay, Royal Father, if there's going to be a show, why don't we invite some spectators?" suggested Bing with a cruel expression.
"Royal Father, please, can you make him my slave? If you do that, I will become a good girl and fulfill all my duties," requested Xia Royal with a serious expression.
After hearing her daughter's request, he was a bit shocked but agreed happily.
(Ethan's POV)
Ethan teleported to his residence in the Dragon Empire, startling Alice.
"We are going to the Upper Plane. Be ready for the new adventure," said Ethan to Alice and Li Na.
