Soon, three figures appeared before Lena Chu and Evan Chu—the newcomers were none other than Princess Ivy, Princess Faye, and Chase Chu.
At this moment, Lena had already prepared her martial technique, but Princess Ivy’s sudden arrival made her hesitate for a split second. Still, remembering Evan Chu’s earlier words—his insults toward her and her father, whom she worshiped as a god—she simply couldn’t tolerate it.
Even with Princess Ivy present, Lena’s willful and arrogant nature made her unleash her martial skill anyway—a strike of tremendous power.
A massive burst of sword light shot forth from the longsword in her hand. This move was the same martial skill Evan Chu once obtained from Serena Frost’s Tri‑Mystic Tower, and its offensive power was absolutely domineering.
The whole space trembled nonstop, and the powerful sword qi surged toward Evan Chu like a thunderbolt. Princess Ivy, Princess Faye, and Chase Chu were all shocked by the spectacle—not worried for Evan, but afraid the fight might damage the bond between father and daughter.
This strike was as fierce as the Star‑Cleave Evan once used in the Netherworld. If her opponent were a Sixth‑Layer Venerable Martial expert, they might have been killed on the spot. But against Evan, this martial skill was simply too weak.
Times had changed—Evan Chu was now a top-tier powerhouse. Even while suppressing his cultivation, he still had the strength of a Da Luo Golden Immortal. After unleashing her martial skill, Lena was left somewhat drained, her stunning face turning pale.
In her mind, this blow would definitely be enough to seriously injure or even kill that hateful youth. Even if it cost her some Netherforce, it was worth it.
But the result was beyond belief—the youth opposite her actually reached out bare-handed to catch her sword qi, without using any martial skill at all. It was sheer madness, like asking for death.
In the blink of an eye, the sword qi Lena unleashed vanished without a trace, while the youth opposite her remained completely unharmed, smiling at her—which only made her feel even more frustrated.
Only now did Lena truly realize just how terrifyingly strong this youth was. At that moment, Princess Ivy rushed up to Evan Chu and began slapping him repeatedly.
She kept muttering, "That’s what you get for bullying my daughter! That’s what you get for bullying my daughter!" Each slap landed with surprising force, sometimes accompanied by flashes of wind and thunder.
Seeing Princess Ivy like this, Evan Chu just laughed and hugged her, stopping her from hitting him any further.
To Chase Chu and Princess Faye, this scene was perfectly normal—after all, Princess Ivy was Evan’s woman.
But to Lena Chu, it was a completely different story—right in front of her, this guy was openly molesting her mother! That was absolutely intolerable. She hated lechers like him most of all, and her angry expression was downright frightening.
"You scoundrel, let go of my mom!" she shouted furiously. In a flash, a streak of sword light shot toward Evan Chu once again.
Evan simply shifted his body to shield Princess Ivy, then reached out with his other hand and caught the incoming longsword with perfect precision.
With a gentle tug, he pulled Lena uncontrollably toward him and, taking advantage of the moment, hugged her as well. It might have been a bit improper, but Evan no longer cared.
Lena’s face immediately turned bright red, and just as she was about to explode, Evan let go of both mother and daughter and smiled, "I never thought my Lena would have exactly the same temper as her mother. This is all your fault for spoiling her!"
It was obvious this remark was aimed at Princess Ivy. Lena was left completely baffled—she wanted to get angry, but then saw her mother’s face break into a smile.
"So you do remember Lena, huh? You bully her the moment you see her—what kind of father does that? How are you going to explain yourself to her?" Princess Ivy laughed.
Lena was even more shocked by this, staring at Evan Chu and then her mother in confusion. "Mom, what are you saying? Are you saying he’s my dad?"
Though Lena was clever, she couldn’t accept the truth right away. Anyone else would have struggled too—the change was just too sudden, too astonishing.
"That’s right, he’s your father—Evan Chu. Surprised? Just think: who else but your dad would be strong enough to brush off your Fifth‑Layer Venerable Martial Realm attack like it was nothing?" Princess Ivy said.
After a moment’s daze, Lena did something that surprised everyone—she rushed forward and hugged Evan Chu, planting a gentle kiss on his cheek before letting go.
"Dad, I’ve missed you every single day! I can’t believe you showed up just to play such a huge prank on me. Like father, like daughter—I must have inherited my love of mischief from you!" Lena said.
Evan’s face flushed slightly—Lena was a noble young lady, after all, and to be so bold with her father! If word got out, how would she ever get married? For a moment, he felt completely petrified.
"Lena, the way you bully people is just like your dad. You’re not mad at me, are you?" Evan said awkwardly.
"Of course not! You’re my dad—I could never blame you. Let’s go back to the City Lord’s Mansion. Today I finally saw how powerful my father really is. Before, whenever Mom told me how amazing you were, I never quite believed it. But now I do, completely." Lena said.
"Lena, aren’t you forgetting something?" Princess Ivy asked at that moment.
Lena immediately remembered and greeted Princess Faye and Chase Chu: "Lena pays her respects to Aunt Faye and Brother Chase!"
"Alright, let’s talk more once we’re back. If we keep this up in the sky, everyone in Chushade City will see us—I’d rather not cause a sensation," Evan Chu laughed.
Soon, everyone returned to the City Lord’s Mansion. The Chushade City Lord’s Mansion was much larger than Princess Faye’s. Once inside the main hall, Evan didn’t see Lord Nine-Shade and asked:
"Ivy, where’s Father-in-law? Has he already ascended?"
"No, my father is in closed-door cultivation. Ever since you left the Netherworld, he’s been in seclusion. All the affairs of Chushade City have been left to me—I’ve had to cultivate and take care of Lena, and it’s worn me out.
Eventually, I followed Faye’s example and handed everything over to the two elders of the City Lord’s Mansion, becoming a hands-off manager—just like you taught me!" Princess Ivy said.
Princess Ivy then introduced the key members of the City Lord’s Mansion in the main hall. When they learned that the youth before them was Princess Ivy’s husband—the legendary Evan Chu, once the strongest in the Netherworld—they were utterly amazed.
Princess Ivy arranged a banquet to welcome Evan Chu, Princess Faye, and Chase Chu. During the feast, Lena kept bombarding Evan with all sorts of strange questions, her willful and spoiled nature on full display…
