In the main seat, a burly, stern-faced middle-aged man with short black hair was staring intently at Zhou Ye with eyes burning with anger.
Fallen angel cadre, Baiqiu.
Himejima Akeno's father.
He didn't speak, but the heavy breath he exhaled from his nostrils, carrying scorching arcs of electricity, charred the ground beneath his feet.
The atmosphere froze at freezing point.
"Hey, Baiqiu, long time no see, your temper is still as bad as ever."
Asasil gave a lazy greeting, trying to ease the tension.
However, Bai Qiu didn't even glance at him; all his attention was focused on Zhou Ye.
That brat!
I was so blind!
Back then, he was just a child. He grew up with Zhu Nai and I thought he was a good kid.
The results of it?
The result is good!
First, she kidnapped the Demon King Sazex's beloved younger sister, and now she's even trying to take her own daughter, Akeno, with her!
Mass wedding?
What did he think of himself?
What do you take Zhu Nai for?
Just an extra?!
Does he even respect his father-in-law?
"dad……"
As Himejima Akeno sensed her father's almost tangible rage, her gentle smile became somewhat forced, and she subconsciously moved closer to Zhou Ye.
Zhou Ye, however, remained calm.
He completely ignored the pressure that was almost tearing him apart, stepped forward, walked to the coffee table, picked up the teapot, and slowly poured a cup of hot tea for Bai Qiu.
Zila——!
A thin arc of electricity shot out from Bai Qiu's body, shattering the teacup in Zhou Ye's hand into pieces.
The scalding hot tea splashed everywhere.
Zhou Ye's hand remained steadily suspended in mid-air, without trembling at all, and without even a single drop of water touching it.
"Father-in-law, I know you're angry."
Zhou Ye picked up another cup and poured tea again, his movements unhurried and deliberate.
"But don't get angry yet."
"I have some good news to tell you, would you like to hear it?"
His tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable power.
Bai Qiu's chest heaved violently, his cold, hard face taut with muscles.
He wanted to lash out, to pin this arrogant brat to the wall with a thunderbolt.
However, he couldn't do it.
The young man before him was no longer the child who needed his protection.
Even Odin fell.
What good would it do if he went up there?
Humiliating yourself?
"What good news?"
Bai Qiu spat out a few words through gritted teeth, each word carrying the fury of thunder.
He wanted to see what kind of nonsense this kid could come up with!
If he couldn't get a satisfactory answer, he would risk being punished by Azazel today to show this brat what a father's anger was!
Zhou Ye did not answer immediately.
He respectfully pushed the tea he had poured towards Baiqiu, and then exchanged a glance with Himejima Akeno beside him.
Zhu Nai received his signal, took a deep breath, and stepped forward.
She looked at her father, his beautiful purple eyes swirling with emotions—anticipation, trepidation, and the excitement of about to uncover a shocking secret.
"Father."
Zhu Nai's voice trembled slightly.
"Mother, she..."
"You can be resurrected now."
Boom! ! !
In short, it's more shocking than the most violent thunder.
The entire hall was deathly silent.
The anger on Bai Qiu's face froze instantly, then shattered like glass broken by a heavy hammer.
He froze completely, his eyes, which had been burning with rage, now filled only with endless astonishment and blankness.
"You...what did you say?"
His voice was dry and hoarse, completely losing its previous authority.
Even Azazel, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, suddenly stood up from his chair.
The laziness and cynicism on his face vanished without a trace, replaced by unprecedented shock.
"Zhu Nai! This is not something to joke about!"
Azazel's expression was extremely serious.
"Resurrecting the dead? Or resurrecting Zhu Li, who has been dead for many years? How is that possible! Her soul has long since..."
He didn't finish his sentence.
Because he saw that Zhou Ye was just looking at him calmly.
That tranquility itself is the most powerful affirmation.
Azazel's heart began to pound uncontrollably.
Could it be... is it true?
This man truly possesses the power to reverse life and death, a power that even gods cannot easily attain.
"Akeno!"
Bai Qiu finally snapped out of his shock and grabbed his daughter's shoulder with such force that he almost crushed her bones.
"Can you say that again!"
"What did you just say!"
His eyes were bloodshot and red, not from anger, but from a desperate desire and fear that bordered on madness.
He longed for it to be true.
And then there's the fear that this is just a cruel joke.
"Father, you're hurting me..."
Zhu Nai frowned, but she did not struggle.
She could feel her father's deep-seated longing and pain.
She repeated each word clearly.
“I said, Mother, Himejima Akari can be resurrected.”
"Ye, he has a way."
Swish!
Bai Qiu's movements stopped.
He released Zhu Nai, swayed slightly, and then stared intently at Zhou Ye with a complex mix of hope, doubt, and pleading.
"you……"
He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a complete sound.
The Thunder Lightning Cavalryman, who struck fear into the hearts of countless enemies, was now as vulnerable as a drowning man grasping at a last straw.
"I need something."
Zhou Ye finally spoke, breaking the suffocating silence.
"The best items that belong to your aunt are those that contain the most of her essence and power."
"Furthermore, we must find even the smallest fragment of her soul."
Zhou Ye's words were like a series of decrees, striking clearly into the hearts of Baichu and Azazel.
This is no joke.
He is presenting a feasible solution!
"The relics... there are! There are!"
Bai Qiu seemed to be awakened, and he shouted incoherently, "Zhu Li's hairpin, the hairpin she never took off, I've kept it all this time!"
“Soul…soul fragments…”
His emotions surged again. "Back then... back then those bastards... after they killed Zhu Li, I... I couldn't protect her soul..."
At this point, the burly man's body trembled violently, overwhelmed by endless pain and self-reproach.
