Zu Wan said something to Tristan before giving his daughter's hand to him.
"Tristan, I am leaving my daughter in your care. Protect her, love her and make her happy. If you make her cry, I will make sure that the fire dragons will hunt you down in all eternity."
Titania pinched Zu Wan's waist as they heard him threatening Tristan. Zhen-Zhen looked at her father helplessly while Tristan just let out a chuckle.
He was no longer afraid of Zu Wan, not because he already had power but because he knew that Zu Wan already accepted him as his son-in-law. Zu Wan sacrificed everything he had just to save Tristan's life.
"Father, you don't have to worry about that. I will fulfill your wish. I will protect our family. I will stay by her side and make her happy for the rest of our lives." Tristan reassured him.
Zu Wan nodded his head with a gentle smile on his face. He believed Tristan. He tapped his shoulder before allowing Tristan to hold Zhen-Zhen's hand.

Zhen-Zhen and Tristan approached the twins first, kissing them before they proceeded to the altar. The priest was smiling at them. It was a beautiful sight to witness this wedding ceremony of this happily in love couple.
Tristan and Zhen-Zhen felt so blissful. Their wedding ceremony had been postponed several times. But now, here they were, standing in front of their family and friends who would serve as their witnesses in reciting their vows and promises to each other.
This was the moment they were waiting for… the exchanges of vows between Tristan and Zhen-Zhen. This was not the typical vow they would hear in a wedding ceremony. Tristan and Zhen-Zhen composed their own or should they say, they were speaking what's on their hearts and minds right now. No memorization of lines and no rehearsal.
Zhen-Zhen was the first one who said her vow and promise to Tristan.
"Tristan… meeting you in that mountain is the greatest takeaway of my life. That was the first time I didn't feel lonely…"
Zu Wan's clenched hearing those words from Zhen-Zhen. It was his fault. He was responsible for that.
Ever since she was sealed in the divine mountain, Zhen-Zhen felt so lonely. She had been alone in that dark place, without her parents. But everything changed the moment she met Tristan at Mt. Calypso.
He made her smile and taught her some things, making her feel that she was no longer alone.
"You took me, brought me home and I became your wife. Now, I truly understand the meaning of being a wife."
Grandpa Lu, Matthew, and Tristan laughed as they recalled the silliest and the most ridiculous thing Tristan had ever said to Zhen-Zhen about the role of a wife.
(Author: Even the readers wanted to beat Tristan when they read that part. They even cursed him, especially the ladies. Hahaha!)
"Tristan, being your wife… I will take care of you. Accompany you for our ups and downs, for better or worse, for sickness and good health… for the rest of our lives."
"I will spend every moment with you, making you feel my love. I will fulfill my marital duty and satisfy you. I will also be a good mother to our children. I will raise them and teach our children, letting them feel a mother's love."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I will always be here for you… my loving husband. That's my promise to you." Zhen-Zhen caressed Tristan's face. She could see that Tristan's eyes had become teary. He was just holding back his tears.
Tristan felt really blessed and grateful, having Zhen-Zhen by his side. He couldn't ask for more. Zhen-Zhen was enough! In fact, she was more than enough! Having her was his greatest achievement in life.
Now, it was his turn to say his vow and promise. He moved closer to her, holding her hands tightly as if he had no plan of letting her go.
"Zhen, you are my wife now. You are mine. No one can take you away from me. I will burn them alive." Tristan showed off his possessiveness. Everyone laughed because of his starting statement. He even glared at every man who was present there.
Miho and FaMo exchanged meaningful glances with one another. They could tell that Tristan was not joking. He meant it. He already had the power to do that, burning people alive.
"Before I proceed… I just want to apologize to you… for every tear you shed for me… for every pain I caused you… for every heartache I gave you. You don't deserve it… I'm so sorry… and let me apologize for my future mistakes… I'm not perfect… but for you, I will do my best to be the best husband I could ever be."
"I will be a husband who will follow every word you say… a husband who will serve you and fulfill your every request. I will be a devoted husband who will only think about your happiness…"
"I will make up for those times that I made you sad… You can now rely on me. I am now capable of doing anything… to protect you. I will no longer be a burden to you… I will… be the best man you could ever have… and I will love you and cherish you forever."
"And lastly, I would like to thank you for choosing to love me… for accepting me despite my past… Thank you for loving me unselfishly. Thank you for coming into my life and teaching me how to love someone unconditionally."
"Wifey… you have to stick with me forever… because I don't know how to live anymore without you. You are my life… my beloved woman! My beautiful wife. I love you so much…"
"Damn! I said a lot of things and now I wanna kiss you already!" Tristan said, pouting his lips.
