Tang Shaoyang carried her daughter, standing in their usual spot each morning, right next to the window for the good morning sun. Today he would leave for a special mission, guarding the Void Gate for three years.
He could return each month, but he thought of saving his vacation for the territory war in the God Realm. He was ready to give up the territory in the God Realm, but he would not give up without fighting. Making sure whoever tried to take his territory would pay the price for it.
The hardest thing was to leave his daughter. He wanted to watch her closely as she grew up, watching her growth like measuring her height every month. That gave him satisfaction.
Despite being reluctant to leave, he knew that he must go for the special mission. That place might be the right place for him to grow stronger. He would be fighting countless calamities. The void gate would provide him more materials for the summoning.
Then he would be promoted to Chief Administrator which would grant him more authority. Especially the shop where he could buy anything he wanted.
“Dada, am fin.”
Tang Xiulan patted his chest with her tiny hands. It was as if she could perceive his emotion, she comforted her father.
Tang Shaoyang smiled widely, hearing her daughter’s voice. He raised her up, letting their cheeks touch. For someone who was not good with words, he could not say anything to her daughter. He expressed his love through action.
After finishing the dungeon in the God Realm, he spent his time with his daughters. Not just Tang Xiulan, but also Li Yue and Li Jiaying.
“You will be leaving today?”
Ava’s voice rang from behind, coming out of her room. Still wearing her nightdress, she approached her husband.
Tang Shaoyang turned and nodded, “Yup. I will be leaving soon. I might not be able to return for a while.”
Because he wanted to save his monthly leave for the territory war, he might not return until later.
“You don’t have to worry about Xiulan. She would not be lonely because she has many mothers to play with her.”
Tang Shaoyang was not worried that her daughter would be lonely. He was worried that her daughter would forget about him. She was still less than one year old. Maybe she was special, but he was still worried that she would quickly forget about him.
Of course, he did not say it out loud, not in front of her daughter. He spent his morning having breakfast with the big family. All his wives, including Zara and Avyn. To his surprise, there was Lunea at the table.
“You should spend a night with Sis Lunea before leaving. You are heartless.”
It was Jasmine who opened the conversation. She opened an awkward conversation at the table.
It was known that Lunea and Tang Shaoyang had a promise. But it became awkward because Lunea kept avoiding him, and he also did not know where to start. No one brought up the promise.
Maybe because Tang Shaoyang had become a father, he had become more reserved. If not for Tang Xiulan, he would come for Lunea to demand the promise.
Zhang Mengyao shook her head, but she brought the conversation seriously, “You don’t have to worry about us. We have agreed and accepted Lunea. Lunea also consents to her promise.”
“We still have time to hold the ceremony for Lilliana and Lunea before you leave.”
Kang Xue added to the conversation. The other girls followed with the agreement, voicing their voices about how he had been neglecting Lilliana and Lunea.
Lilliana was once his spirit. He made a contract with Lilliana because she asked to be impregnated. She could do better with the wording, but she was one of the weird spirits, a knight who was worn out from the battlefield. Her goal was to retire and become a mother, and she had been taking care of the three little girls ever since she was resurrected.
Tang Shaoyang agreed with her contract. Back then he would not refuse a woman who offered herself to him. Not that he regretted his decision, but he was afraid that Tang Xiulan might think badly of him for taking too many women.
He was afraid that her daughter would hate him. She might not understand right now, but she might hate this in the future.
But of course, he was not going to run from his promise. It was just his biggest fear, the reason he had been avoiding this issue. Since the girls brought it up, he would take the responsibility.
“Let’s do it after breakfast.”
Lunea was the shy type, keeping her head down as her cheeks reddened. Lilliana was bolder and celebrated when she heard Tang Shaoyang agreed to hold the ceremony.
Once that matter was done, the girls changed the conversation. Lunea who was shy before joined the conversation. She seemed to forget what they just talked about.
After breakfast, the priest, Selena, and Arina held the ceremony for the Marriage Vow. Tang Shaoyang did it with the other girls. That was why Kang Xue demanded the ceremony for Lunea and Lilliana.
It was a joyous morning, and the joyous occasion had to come to an end earlier. Tang Shaoyang had to leave half an hour after the ceremony. There were a few things needed to take care of before leaving for the special mission.
Tang Shaoyang said goodbye to his wives, kissing them one by one. Zhang Mengyao was the last one.
“There’s someone who wants to meet you. He comes in a hurry after knowing that you will leave for a long time. You want to meet him before you leave.”
“Who?”
Tang Shaoyang raised his right eyebrow, wondering who the person wanted to meet him. Since Zhang Mengyao said it, it meant it was someone close to him. If it was Lu An, that guy would come unannounced. There was no need for him to ask Zhang Mengyao just to meet him.
Zhang Mengyao smiled mysteriously, “You are close to him.”
She did not tell the name as he led him to the guest room. She opened the door and told him to go in while she was waiting outside.
Tang Shaoyang entered the room. There were five people inside the room, and he recognized four of them.
Frost – the White Tigra from Aqura and his daughter Lyra. Then a man and two women, he recognized the two women, but he did not know their names. He had seen their faces, but he forgot who they were.
Tang Shaoyang did not recognize the man. This was the first time he met the man. The man had a thick body, big and muscular. He had long black hair, grinning widely, showing his teeth with thick eyebrows. He had violet eyes and a thick beard.
He did not recognize the man at first, but the eyes gave him the clue. He was one hundred percent sure who the man was when he remembered the two women, “Rumru!”
That was right, he recognized the dragon’s eyes which were similar to his daughter’s. The person who had the most contribution to his life was Rumru the Black Dragon.
If Rumru had not sacrificed his life for Tang Shaoyang to inherit the bloodline. He might not be able to reach his current position. The Black Dragon Bloodline was the main support that helped to reach this point.
Tang Shaoyang hugged the man, and Rumru laughed so hard. After getting resurrected, he could use his humanoid transformation again. Back when he was a spirit, Rumru could not use it.
“Let me introduce you to my wife, the last fairy of the Fairy Race, Ariela. And she is my daughter, Gracia.”
Rumru told him their names back then, but it was totally different. Back then, Rumru was filled with sadness and hatred. It was when he showed Tang Shaoyang his wife’s corpse in the ice coffin.
It was totally different now. The man who was lifeless was full of energy and beamed with a smile. That showed how happy he was.
“I have heard a lot about you, Sir Tang Shaoyang. I am grateful for what you have done to our family. Thanks to you, we can reunite again.”
Ariela stood up and bowed her head. Meanwhile, Gracia seemed to be afraid of him, lowering her head while clutching to her father. Searᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
“I am sorry about Gracia…”
Tang Shaoyang cut Rumru off, “You don’t need to be sorry. I understand her condition.”
