The CEO's Wife Is A Demon God's Daughter

[ Past: Hundred years ago...]

Meeting Eva in this circumstance and showing her his true form, Zu Wan lost his focus. The fear of being hated by his beloved woman was slowly consuming his mind. He wanted to unleash his wrath… his demon self.

But Eva's presence was making it difficult for him. He tried his best to fight it, controlling his bloodthirst. He was having internal battles.

The guardian warriors noticed that the demon god was distracted. They seized that moment to capture him. The earth element wielder unleashed their powers, summoning the strong vines from the land to attack the demon god.

The ground opened up and giant vines emerged from it, moving towards the demon god. The shamans cast their spell, strengthening the giant vines. In a brief moment, they succeeded to restrain the demon god, holding both his hands and feet.

The giant vines wrapped the demon god's entire body.

"Fa-Fa!" Zhen-Zhen's little voice was suddenly heard in the area.

Zhen-Zhen was struggling against the hybrid who was holding her in place. She wanted to escape and go towards her father. But her little body couldn't fight the strong hybrid.

"Fa-Fa!" She shouted once again. She began to cry.

Zhen-Zhen's voice awakened Zu Wan. He failed to notice that he was already tied down by the giant vines.

"Stop! Please stop! He is no longer the demon god whom you are afraid of! He was already a changed man!" Eva said to them desperately.

When Zu Wan heard Eva's words, he was baffled for a moment. When he turned to look at her, he couldn't see the hatred in her eyes.

'She didn't hate me! She didn't!'

He couldn't believe it. That thought gave warmth to his heart. Finally, he was able to control his demon… the monster inside him who wanted to go berserk just a while ago.

Zu Wan stopped struggling. He remained still with no intention to fight back. He won't kill anyone as long as they would not hurt Eva and Zhen-Zhen.

"Why are you protecting him, woman?!" The elder Shaman questioned Eva.

"Don't you forget the people he killed before? The blood of your own kind was shed because of this evil creature. We lost so many lives. He had sinned… and he must die! He must be punished! He is the merciless demon god. He doesn't deserve mercy."

"He deceived you. He bewitched you! Did you become a demon too?"

Everyone was ridiculing Eva.

Zu Wan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

"Release my wife and my daughter! They were innocent. They didn't do you wrong!" Zu Wan said to them with his deep voice.

"Please let us go. My family is living quietly for these past years. The demon god had stopped attacking people. Everyone deserves a second chance." Eva continued to plead for Zu Wan's behalf.

"Stop your nonsense, woman! You are not in your right mind! You succumbed to the demon god, betraying your own kind!" The leader of the guardian warriors couldn't hide the hatred he felt towards Eva.

Then the head Shaman instructed someone to bring something. Another Shaman walked towards her, holding a box that contained an important object.

The head Shaman picked it up. It was a dagger… a golden dagger.

"Woman… since you said that everyone deserves a second chance... now I will give you a chance to right the wrong." The head Shaman slowly walked towards Eva while holding the dagger in her hands.

"Don't you dare touch her… if she's hurt… I promise no one will leave this place alive!" Zu Wan threatened them as he watched the head Shaman approaching Eva.

Zu Wan started struggling once again. He was removing the giant vines which were wrapping his entire body. The element wielder tried to strengthen the giant vines, summoning more giant vines under the ground.

The head Shaman was now standing in front of Eva who was being held by the two hybrids.

"This is a divine dagger. This is the only weapon that could kill evil creatures like the demon god. Plunge this dagger into his heart. Kill him or else we will kill your daughter! Choose! Make your own choice!"

"No! Please no! Don't hurt my daughter. Please let us go. I can't do it. He's my husband. I love him. Just kill me…" Eva said with her desperate plea.

"Still stubborn until the end. Heh… you leave us no choice." The head Shaman sneered at her.

The head Shaman gave her signal to the hybrid who was restraining Zhen-Zhen. The hybrid raised his claws, ready to dig Zhen- Zhen's heart in her chest.

"No!" Eva exclaimed in horror.

"Zhen- Zhen!" Zu Wan also shouted when he saw the scene.

The hybrid was determined to kill their daughter.

Creak! Creak! Creak!

The sound of giant vines being torn apart reverberated in the entire area. The demon god successfully escaped. Before the claws of the hybrid touched Zhen-Zhen's chest, Zu Wan rushed and flew in their direction, rescuing his daughter.

"Argh!" The hybrid squealed in pain the moment Zu Wan caught his arms. He broke it, quickly snatching Zhen- Zhen away from the hybrid's grasp.

With his raging fury, Zu Wan released another fireball hitting the same hybrid who tried to kill Zhen- Zhen. The hybrid was roasted alive.

Just when Eva and Zu Wan were about to feel relieved since Zhen-Zhen was already safe, the Head Shaman immediately raised the divine dagger, thrusting it forward and aiming at Eva's heart.

However, before the dagger could reach Eva's heart, someone immediately hugged her and shielded her. It was Zu Wan. He was still holding Zhen-Zhen when he suddenly rushed towards Eva, using his own body to protect her.

"Zu Wan!" Eva cried out his name.

The head Shaman plunged the dagger deeper into Zu Wan's body, twisting it forward with her full strength.

"Argh!"

Zu Wan felt the burning sensation, spreading fast all throughout his body. He suddenly felt weak. He was losing his power.

With his remaining strength and power, Zu Wan was able to push away the head Shaman, grabbing Eva and Zhen-Zhen as he flew away to escape.

He released the biggest fireball that he could make to break the barrier which was created by the shamans. He succeeded as they temporarily escaped away from the mountain peak.

"Follow them! The demon god was badly hurt. We must find him and kill him!" The Leader of the guardian warriors gave his command.
