Milia's Parents, the Three-Year Promise

Surrounded by mountains, Luo Ya and Milia strolled along the edge of a crystal-clear lake, Milia holding a fresh, vibrant black rose in her hand.

This black rose was exquisitely shaped, possessing a thick, velvet-like texture to the touch, and exuding a unique sense of luxury and mystery.

Of course, the flower itself was not what mattered; the most important thing was the language and symbolism of the black rose in the Valen Plane—unique, overbearing love!

Clearly, by presenting this black rose condensed from Dark Divine Power, Luo Ya had already made his intentions known.

"Luo Ya, you haven't met my parents since you arrived this time, have you?" Sometimes, even simple companionship could bring a sense of enjoyable pleasure, and there was no doubt that Luo Ya had just been basking in it.

However, upon hearing Milia's words, Luo Ya's heart tightened instantly.

"I came to see you first, so I haven't had the chance to meet your father and mother yet." Although Luo Ya felt slightly nervous, he was also full of confidence in himself.

As a genius deity-level powerhouse, he believed the two elders couldn't possibly refuse him as a son-in-law.

"Then hurry up and come with me. My parents have been very curious about you." Milia turned back with a sly smile, and Luo Ya followed immediately.

Milia's parents? Luo Ya had heard a little about their reputation.

They both belonged to the category of "reclusive Saint Realm" cultivators. While such Saint Realm powerhouses might not have much fame on the continent, or perhaps had great fame long ago, their strength was far superior to those currently renowned in the Saint Realm.

Passing through a dense forest, they reached a large meadow. Various flowers grew randomly across the grass, with stone benches and tables scattered throughout.

In the center of the meadow lay a circular lake.

"Father, Mother!" Milia called out toward the lake, and the two figures sitting by the water immediately turned to look.

"Milia, the person beside you must be Luo Ya, right?" A clear, pleasant laugh rang out.

Of the two figures, one was a beautiful woman in a purple robe with golden hair coiled up. Her delicate features were at least eighty percent similar to Milia's, possessing the same stunning charm; she was undoubtedly Milia's mother.

Beside the beautiful woman was a refined middle-aged man wearing a moon-white robe with long, cyan hair. This refined man was clearly Milia's father.

"Father." Milia immediately ran to the refined man, enthusiastically took his hand, and then pointed to Luo Ya to introduce him. "Father, this is the Luo Ya I told you about."

"Hello, Uncle, I am Luo Ya Kageno."

Even though Luo Ya was a deity-level powerhouse, he felt a slight nervousness in his heart when meeting this refined man.

"Not bad." The refined man gave Luo Ya a kind smile. "I've heard about you from Milia; your talent is very strong."

The golden-haired woman also smiled kindly at Luo Ya. "Reaching the limit of the Saint Realm before the age of sixty—you and Milia are both peerless geniuses, far better than we were back then."

"Oh, I almost forgot to introduce myself. I am Milia's mother, Gailina." The golden-haired woman's exact age was unknown, but her temperament was more graceful and mature. If one looked only at her appearance, outsiders would likely mistake her for Milia's older sister.

"Nice to meet you, Madam." Luo Ya greeted her immediately.

The refined man then looked at Luo Ya and continued, "My name is Karen. You should have heard of me."

Karen, the master of Wind Forbidden Island, had reached the limit of the Saint Realm five hundred years ago and was among the strongest individuals beneath the deity level on the Western Continent.

Like Karen and the previously mentioned Nilo, they had actually reached the threshold of the deity level. They were only one step away, but that step was incredibly difficult.

Nilo had been on par with Karen back in the day, but Nilo had finally broken through that step three years ago, becoming a lower god.

"I have long heard of your reputation, Uncle." Luo Ya appeared exceptionally humble.

Karen merely smiled faintly at this. "If you don't mind, come with me for a private chat."

"Father, Luo Ya has already become a god." Milia realized her father was preparing to "test" Luo Ya, so she immediately used soul transmission to remind him.

Because he was here to meet his future parents-in-law, Luo Ya naturally wouldn't proactively release his deity-level pressure.

And once a deity-level powerhouse didn't intentionally reveal their strength, it was very difficult for Saint Realm powerhouses to detect it directly, even for someone like Karen, who was considered one of the strongest beneath the deity level.

"You girl, why didn't you say so earlier!" Karen's facial muscles twitched unnaturally.

"Father, you forgot; I told you before." Hearing Milia's reply, Karen suddenly recalled.

Indeed, this girl seemed to have said something similar to them before—something about how the day Luo Ya arrived at his Wind Forbidden Island would be the day he became a god.

However, Karen had forgotten such words as soon as he heard them at the time.

Becoming a deity—how could it be that easy? He had been a high-spirited genius himself, easily reaching the Saint Realm limit in a few hundred years, but he had been stuck outside the gate of the deity level for five hundred years now.

The one who became a god earlier was actually Luo Ya. Only now did Karen realize it in hindsight.

I prided myself on being a cultivation genius, but compared to this Luo Ya, what kind of genius am I? It could only be said that there were gaps even among geniuses.

How could a true genius be tripped up by a mere deity-level barrier?

"Ahem, never mind, let's just talk here." Hearing Karen suddenly change his mind, Luo Ya was slightly stunned, but he didn't mind.

"Do you have any advice, Uncle?" Luo Ya didn't notice anything amiss and remained very humble.

"When do you plan to marry Milia?" The refined man's attitude became even kinder, and he acted with extreme enthusiasm—so much so that Luo Ya felt a bit overwhelmed.

"Dear?" The golden-haired woman beside him frowned instantly.

She did have a good impression of Luo Ya, but for them to bring up this matter so proactively made their own daughter seem a bit cheap.

The one who became a god earlier was this Luo Ya. Karen's voice rang out in Gailina's mind, and she trembled, looking at Luo Ya again with surprise.

After only a moment of hesitation, Gailina also revealed a kind smile. "Luo Ya, you came here this time intending to marry Milia, right? We agree to your marriage."

"Milia... your judgment is indeed good. Why didn't you bring Luo Ya home sooner?"

Although the prospective parents-in-law were a bit overly enthusiastic, it still made Luo Ya breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems there won't be any resistance from the father-in-law and mother-in-law, so next... Luo Ya immediately looked at Milia.

"Father! Mother!" Milia looked at her parents' undignified behavior, her face instantly flushing red.

Meeting Luo Ya's inquiring gaze, Milia's eyes were quite shy, but she spoke up immediately: "Wait three years for me. Within three years, I will definitely become a god!"

Since Luo Ya had already become a god, she absolutely could not fall too far behind.
