Jin Rou was relieved after hearing his uncle's confirmation. As Dan Rou was now living like a secluded hermit, he didn't have any responsibility to help his family during a calamity. After all, he had long stayed away from wars and conflicts.
However, it was different this time. The ones waging war against them were the devils of another universe. And they were capable of threatening the celestial family. So, how could he standby and watch bare their fangs in their territory?
It was one of the reasons why Dan Rou wanted to lend his help. In this fight, for sure that he would be a great attack power added.
With his assurance, the celestial family would surely rest it out even a bit.
Silence filled the entire place once again. No one talked, looking back at the ocean of stars once again.
It was a while since Jin Rou could feel peace like this. All this time, his adventures were full of battles and killing, clearly not the same thing he imagined in the past. When he was a child, he thought that adventures were filled with fun and friends, that's why he was so adamant in getting out of their home.

"I heard that another celestial family has came to visit the palace?" Dan Rou broke the silence and asked a question.
It was just a passing thought that he decided to say. In fact, he wasn't even interested in that point.
"Yes, and I think they are staying in the palace." Jin Rou wryly smiled and said, "The Su Celestial Family, what kind of bunch are they?"
Jin Rou's question made Dan Rou look at him. His uncle couldn't help but laugh and answer, "I don't know how to describe them, but you can say that they are decent, at the very least."
He paused for a moment and added, "Not to mention, that family has a universe-toppling beauty that your grandmother would surely try to betroth to you. And I know, that girl will be up for your liking."
"Grandmother will betroth me...?" Jin Rou was surprised, "Why would she do that? I'm so young to marry."
"Of course, because you two are perfectly matched." Dan Rou chuckled. He very much knew how the mind of his parents worked, "You and that girl are both talented. No, to be exact, she is just like you. She is the most talented person of their universe. Not to mention this, her family is also a powerful celestial in their territory. Of course, in terms of benefits, where should mother marry you? "
"..." Jin Rou had already known what his uncle was trying to get at. Her grandmother was ambitious. Though she was already powerful and a universe was already under their rule, she was still trying to get her hands on another universe. Of course, not in a bad way since for sure, his grandmother wouldn't try to offend another celestial family for meger benefits. Furthermore, the two families were friends since the ancient and could not be traced back time.
Jin Rou now knew why his grandma act benevolent and let him be in the past. Since everything was now in the light, connecting the dots was easy as pie.
"Don't be so surprised." Dan Rou smiled, tapping Jin Rou's shoulder, "This is normal, and your grandmother means no harm to you. You know how much she cared for you, right?"
'In fact, he cared for you more than us brothers.' Dan Rou wanted to add this, but he backed it down to his throat. It wasn't necessary to say these words as the child might assume that he had taken all the privileges that should be on his uncle.
"But I don't want to marry for someone I don't like. Besides, it's not yet on my mind. My priority is to establish a firm foothold as a celestial king." Jin Rou shook his head.
Indeed, Jin Rou was prioritizing his position as the celestial king of this universe. As everything was under his command, he needed to use his power well to gain everyone's approval. After all, there were still some oppositions that even his family was helpless against.

"How can you say so, Uncle?" Jin Rou was confused. He could hear the confidence in Dan Rou's tone.
"Because I know, so I can say so." Dan Rou smirked. If we would talk about connections between two people, Dan Rou was the best to ask about it. His dao could read emotional and physical waves of a person, thus he could assume. He had met the princess of the Su Celestial Family, and had seen her waves. And her waves were very best to connect with Jin Rou. Meaning, they were meant for each other. At least, that's what the waves were saying.
Of course, it was still up to the two if they could make it happen.
"But no need to rush." Seeing Jin Rou looking at him, he coughed and said, "Just like you said, you are still young. Enjoy your life while you still don't have a wife, it's different when you already have a family."
"You're talking as if you have one, Uncle." Jin Rou teased his uncle and laughed.
"You sure talk hard because I'm just favoring you." Dan Rou slapped Jin Rou's back softly and said, "Do you think you can defeat me now?"
"Of course not." Jin Rou shook his head, "But give me a few more years, and I'll surely defeat you and the rest of the family."
"Oh?"Dan Rou could imagine that scene and laughed heartily, "Very well, I will be looking forward to that."
