Tristan blacked out while hugging Zhen-Zhen from behind. But it was just temporary as he regained his consciousness right after.
However, Tristan was no longer the one in control of his body. He was possessed by Mheera's soul. Through the forbidden spell, she merged her soul into Tristan's body using the mark she left in his system.
Upon leaving her own body, Mheera's soul was sent to Tristan's location thus merging into his body without his knowledge.
The proposal and his surprise for Zhen-Zhen was going smoothly but it was interrupted by Mheera. She was now the one taking over Tristan's body.
A cold glint flashed in Tristan's eyes as he gazed down at Zhen-Zhen who was leaning on him.
Zhen-Zhen noticed that something strange happened to Tristan as he just suddenly became quiet.
She was about to ask him when in one swift move, Tristan locked her head using his arm. He was strangling Zhen-Zhen from behind.
Zhen-Zhen's eyes widened in both confusion and surprise. She didn't know why Tristan was doing this.
"Tris… W-Why are you–" She couldn't finish her words as Tristan's grip on her neck tightened further. She couldn't breathe.
She tried to struggle and remove his arm that was locking her neck. But to her surprise, Tristan was quite powerful tonight.

Zhen-Zhen froze in her spot upon hearing those words coming from Tristan. 'He wants me dead? No way! This is not the Tristan I knew! What's wrong with him?'
Seconds later, Tristan was already holding a divine dagger in his left hand. Using her summoning spell, Mheera summoned the divine dagger and now it appeared in Tristan's palm.
Tristan, who was still restraining Zhen-Zhen, raised his left hand to pierce Zhen-Zhen's heart.
"Tristan, No!" Zu Wan finally noticed what was happening in the floating cottage. He was shaken after seeing Tristan holding a divine dagger while strangling Zhen-Zhen using his elbow.
'What the hell is he doing to my daughter!' Zu Wan was enraged right away. He came out of his hiding spot and dashed in their direction.
If his daughter would get hurt, he swore that he would not spare Tristan.
Meanwhile, before the tip of the dagger would be buried on her chest, Zhen-Zhen immediately grabbed his left hand thus stopping Tristan.
She recovered from her deep stupor. She assumed that Tristan was under a spell. Her one hand was stopping Tristan's hand that was holding the dagger, while her free hand tried to pull his arm away from her neck.
"Tristan, wake up! Can you hear me? It's me, Zhen-Zhen, your wife. Please, wake up!" Zhen-Zhen mumbled with her pleading tone.
Her plea just fell on deaf ears. Tristan didn't stop. Determination could be seen in his eyes. He wanted to kill her.
Miho and FaMo already stopped their dance as their attention was now focused on Zhen-Zhen and Tristan. Zu Wan was flying towards them, his eyes blazing with rage.
"Master!" Both of the dragons shouted in unison, wondering what he was up to.
"Let go of my daughter, you bastard!" Zu Wan screamed, releasing a fireball in his right palm.
Zhen-Zhen felt alarmed when she saw her father charging towards them. There was a killing intent in his eyes.
Zu Wan also summoned FaMo to separate Tristan and Zhen-Zhen. FaMo and Zu Wan were both charging at Tristan.
Zhen-Zhen shook her head in helplessness. "Fa-Fa, FaMo! No! Don't hurt, Tristan!" She requested them but they ignored her as their priority was her safety.
Zhen-Zhen had no choice but to summon Miho to stop FaMo and Zu Wan from attacking Tristan.
'Miho, stop them!'
Since Zhen-Zhen was now Miho's master, she would follow and obey her even if it meant attacking her former Master, Zu Wan.
Miho flew in front of Zu Wan and FaMo, stopping them to get near Tristan and Zhen-Zhen.
Mheera smiled inwardly seeing this scene. She already expected this. And she was not wrong. Zhen-Zhen would try her best to protect Tristan even if she had to fight her father, the demon god.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm'It is nice to see the father and daughter fighting each other! Go and kill each other!' Mheera was rejoicing. She was still trying her best to plunge the dagger in Zhen-Zhen's chest.
But Zhen-Zhen was unbelievably strong. She was struggling against her. Mheera decided to use another spell that would weaken Zhen-Zhen– the Haze spell that could make her doze off.
A white fog suddenly engulfed Tristan and Zhen-Zhen. The Haze Spell didn't have an effect on the caster so it was fine if Mheera, who was in Tristan's body, would be exposed to it.
Zhen-Zhen's vision became blurry after being exposed to the fog brought by the Haze Spell. The fog also helped them hide from the view of the demon god.
Zu Wan became more worried as he could no longer see what was happening in the floating cottage. He didn't have a clear vision as the thick fog was scattered around the cottage.
"FaMo, deal with Miho!" Zu Wan commanded FaMo as he continued to fly toward the floating cottage.
But even before he could reach them, Zu Wan was blocked by an invisible barrier. Zhen-Zhen created that strong barrier with the aim of protecting Tristan from Zu Wan!
Zu Wan tried punching the barrier. He wanted to break it and create a passageway. But surprisingly, Zhen-Zhen's barrier was so strong and indestructible.
"Zhen-Zhen! Remove this barrier now! Let me pass through!" Zu Wan was no longer as powerful as he was before.
Most of his powers were transferred to Zhen-Zhen so it was natural that she could build a strong barrier which Zu Wan couldn't break.
From the cottage, Zhen-Zhen could hear her father's voice. But she refused to let him pass through as she was worried for Tristan's safety.
"Fa-Fa, forgive me. But I can't do that. Trust me. I can handle this." Zhen-Zhen reassured him.
The fog was making her feel dizzy. So Zhen-Zhen had no other choice but to pull Tristan as she jumped onto the water, dragging him with her.
