987 A Date

Tang Shaoyang was worried that Liang Suyin might not accept the former Elven Queen. He did not plan all of this. He revealed his relationship with Ava because Liang Suyin asked him, and she had a suspicion on them, so might as well tell Liang Suyin everything.

Liang Suyin accepted Ava was the last thing he thought of, but the reality always surprised him. The Fire Witch accepted Ava, and after two days, both had grown much closer, akin to sisters.

Tang Shaoyang smiled as he watched Ava and Liang Suyin walk hand to hand in front of him. One of happiest moments in his life since the Game started. Recalling the past, he felt like he was dreaming right now. The more he thought about it, he felt even more guilty. It was crystal clear how bad he treated them.

"Two days off from work...." He muttered in a low voice before shaking his head. The plan was to take two days break in a week, spending quality time with his women. However, this was not the right time, not with the dimensional tower's threat, "Just need to sneak off time like this from time to time."

Three days in Murika, and five days in Roninka. He spent eight days on the third floor before the system's notification rang in his head.

[Your faction has completed the third floor's mission!]

[Congratulations! You obtained level 6 Treasure Chest and additional +1 level!]

[Your faction now obtained the general access to the third floor!]

The notification rang right on the night of the eighth day. After the notification alert, Tang Shaoyang and his party were teleported out of the third floor. He quickly grasped the situation and moved out from the crowd. He brought four hundred ninety-nine people into the third floor. Before anything else, he wanted to ensure that everyone survived.

The Spirit Eyes activated, counting the number of his team. That was a subconscious action of his, and he let out a relieved sigh the number matched. Four hundred and ninety-nine people, the total number matched.

Since everyone was teleported out suddenly, it caught them off guard. They buzzed in confusion for a moment before cheers broke out.

"Listen up!" Tang Shaoyang's voice boomed out, silencing the buzz, "You all have earned two days break, and the next team to take the fourth floor will be decided on the following day. Good work for surviving." He smiled when he said the last part.

Tang Shaoyang immediately turned around, heading toward their quarters. Even though the team had completed the mission, there were still a lot of things to do. He needed to confirm Mayor Celap's words about the time flow. The confirmation would decide The Tang Empire's relationship with the native on the third floor. If Mayor Celap lied to him, that meant the native was their enemy.

If the native was the enemy, the empire had more work to do to conquer the third floor. That was the only way to obtain the resources from the tower. If Mayor Celap told the truth, then the empire just needed to spread their influence to the native before the other factions entered the third floor.

"I can play dirty," Tang Shaoyang muttered in a low voice.

"What do you mean by playing dirty?"

The Emperor turned around when he heard the familiar voice. The voice belonged to Zhang Mengyao. He rushed to her instead of replying to her, giving her a big hug. The flowery fragrant entered his nose. It was a distinct fragrance that only belonged to Zhang Mengyao. He subconsciously sniffed her neck while hugging her.

Zhang Mengyao was caught off guard by her man's action. He was never this clingy before, hugging her in the public space. She opened her mouth, but as if a fly entered her mouth, she immediately closed her mouth again. She did not know what to say or how to react.

In the end, she stayed still, responding to the warm hug, "So unusual. Did you do something bad inside the tower?"

"Hah. I did nothing wrong inside the tower," Tang Shaoyang's response was fast and flawless. He was telling the truth, he did not do anything bad inside the tower, the bad thing he did was in another world, far back before the dimensional tower appeared.

"What bad thing could have happened in less than three days. I trust you," Zhang Mengyao separated from Tang Shaoyang and saw a pleasantly surprised expression of her man.

"Did you say less than three days?"

She did not know why he asked her that, but she nodded. She was surprised that he was surprised only two days had passed since the team entered the third floor, "What's wrong?"

'Mayor Celap was telling the truth,' Tang Shaoyang's eyes gleamed. He spent eight days inside the tower, if it was not even three days passed on here, everything added up. He pulled her into the house as he told everything to her. Including the play dirty things he just said before.

By playing dirty meant he wanted to hinder the other factions from completing the third floor by cooperating with the native. If they had enough time to spread the influence, it should be easy to do.

"So, you say the native is cooperating with us, the players?" Zhang Mengyao was surprised to hear that. She thought the native would naturally hinder them from finishing the first ten floors so they could get out of the tower. She did not expect that the native of the third floor chose to stay inside the tower instead.

Tang Shaoyang nodded as he told her the culture and civilization on the third floor. Of course, there were more things to investigate because he just stayed in two towns, but that should be enough to picture the people on the third floor.

"Actually I have formed a team to take the fourth floor if you want to go tomorrow. I figured out that you want to clear the dimensional tower threat as soon as possible, so I created the next team to follow you to the fourth floor. You can leave the third floor to me and Sis Li Shuang," Zhang Mengyao had been planning this since the team departed.

However, she was shocked once again by his reaction. She thought he would agree and immediately leave with the new team, but instead, he stood up from the sofa and hugged her. Not just a hug, but he lifted her up from the sofa, "No. I want a two days break too. Clear all your schedule for tomorrow. We will have a date, all day, tomorrow."

Zhang Mengyao was flabbergasted as she blinked her eyes multiple times as she found the situation was unreal to her. She considered pinching herself, but she changed her mind. She bit Tang Shaoyang's nose, not that hard, but hard enough to leave a mark.

"Illusion? Are we under attack?" That was the thing crossed in her head upon seeing no reaction from Tang Shaoyang despite the biting mark on his nose.

"What do you mean by illusion?" It was Tang Shaoyang's turn to be surprised by her antics. "It's real. Unless you put mana in your teeth, do you think I can feel the pain?" He rolled her eyes. With his ridiculously high attributes, the bite was nothing to him.

Surprisingly Zhang Mengyao did what she was told to. She channeled her mana into her teeth and bit Tang Shaoyang's right cheek this time.

"Ouch! What are you doing?" Tang Shaoyang was flabbergasted, not expecting her to do that. Obviously it was a joke, but that was not a joke to her.

"Is the date offer still valid?" After finding out everything was real, she got to the main topic. She realized he had changed, but she did not care. She accepted him as he was, but of course, she would not miss the date offer.

"Of course. Clear your schedule tomorrow," Tang Shaoyang rolled his eyes.

Deep inside, this only confirmed how bad he was as a man. He could feel the joy from her from a mere one day date, 'I know what I have been doing is bad, so I have to change.' He had several thoughts in his head about the third floor, but he decided to keep it for now. He did not want to ruin the day with the work thoughts.

*** ***

The following day

Tang Shaoyang and Zhang Mengyao met on the first floor of the main base. She wore a rose pink one-piece dress with a floppy hat while letting her long hair loose on the back. Dress made people, he understood those words after seeing Zhang Mengyao today. She no longer gave out the strict general vibe, but a lovely girl who was ready to have a date with her boyfriend. The aura around her is completely different.

"So, where are we going for our first date?" She whispered to his ear while Tang Shaoyang was still in daze, looking at her. She was obviously satisfied with his reaction.

Tang Shaoyang blinked his eyes a few times as he realized that he made a huge error. He never had a proper date before. Even when with his exes, it was them who brought him to the new places. So, in his mind, it was Zhang Mengyao who would make the decision about what they planned to do and where they wanted to go.

"Obviously we are going to have a date," He replied with a silly smile, hoping the smile would do the magic.

"I am so happy today, so I will forgive you this one time. Next time, you will make the plan." Zhang Mengyao expected this to happen, so she made a plan by herself. She knew him too well.
