Armipotent

Chapter 311 - The Girls

The fifth portal was over, they only needed to finish two remaining portals then they could come out of the HZ Bay and survive the death that kept coming for them.

After the fifth portal, the system gave them one day of break. The sixth portal would appear the day after tomorrow, at the same time they returned from the fifth portal.

When the night came, Tang Shaoyang called Arina and Selena. He was asking the two to do a Marriage Oath for him. This was the only way to erase the paranoid thoughts that haunted Zhang Mengyao.

Despite her experiences in the war, the girl wavered when it came to Tang Shaoyang. She just did not want to lose him, and this Marriage Oath would make sure that she would not be forgotten or even left behind.

Arina agreed to do the oath for him. The Cleric could help to form the oath, just like the priest did when he made a contract with the Guild Master.

In the living room, Zhang Mengyao was sitting across Tang Shaoyang. The girl was nervous and kept forgetting her lines. Because of that, the marriage oath was delayed for fifteen minutes before she could finish her lines.

As Tang Shaoyang and Zhang Mengyao finished their lines, a magic circle formed on top of them. The magic circle lightened the living room even more. The magic lasted for ten seconds before it shrunk in size at the marble and entered their heads respectively.

"Done!" Arina announced the Marriage Oath was over which caught Zhang Mengyao off guard, "It\'s over, just like that? There\'s no more ceremony or anything?" She felt that the Marriage Oath was too superficial for a sacred ritual.

"Mnnn, if it\'s my place, we will celebrate the Marriage Oath together with music, dance, and feast," Elinova joined in, "What makes the Marriage Oath special is the celebration, not the oath. At least, that\'s what I feel back then."

"Really, is it over? I don\'t feel anything after the oath," Zhang Mengyao tried to move her hand here and there, trying to feel the mysterious power.

"What? Were you expecting warm flow in your body or getting electrocuted something like that?" Tang Shaoyang rolled his eyes at the girl.

"Get yourself, Kang Xue is waiting for her marriage oath," Kang Xue was waiting behind the couch, her face was telling everyone that she was very excited. She was beaming in happiness.

Only then Zhang Mengyao realized that she was not the only one. The seven girls had come to an agreement that they would make an oath together. Just like that, Tang Shaoyang married all the seven girls in one night, but of course, he was not going to sleep with the seven of them which was a bit unfortunate on his side. He could not because the girls just met and knew each other recently. He could not be more selfish than this as the fact they were getting along was pretty good for him.

The last one was Selena, "I guess it\'s fine even if I don\'t have the Marriage Oath…" her voice was low.

"Nope, that\'s not fine," Zhang Mengyao was the first one to stand up, "You have to make the Marriage Oath! That\'s our agreement and you are part of it!"

"But our relationship is not that kind of thing…" her voice was still low. That was a fact, their relationship was a trade, not a mutual one. She gave her life, everything for her vengeance. She got what she wanted, now her life was him with or without a marriage oath.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Mengyao looked toward Tang Shaoyang before she looked back at the girl.

"Can I tell them…?" Selena asked Tang Shaoyang, but before he could respond to her, Zhang Mengyao aggressively pulled Selena with her, "You tell me what\'s the matter?"

In fact, the other four girls did not know that Selena was his slave. So the girls brought Selena with them to a separate room, leaving him alone in the living room while shaking his head.

It took them almost half an hour before they returned to the living room. He saw Delia\'s eye turned red, and Selena also cried. The atmosphere between the girls seemed to be heavier.

Zhang Mengyao put the girl on the couch, "We will talk about her later, let\'s continue the oath!" She was eyeing Tang Shaoyang, but she found no guilt in his eyes.

\'He\'s someone who will do something like that without a guilt…\' she remembered that the people who betrayed the base and he got them to be slaves. That incident was understandable but not this one, the girl just wanted to get revenge on her enemy who was also his enemy. He could have just let her kill the man instead of taking her as a slave.

Selena peered at Tang Shaoyang nervously. She found the man was smiling at her, saying nothing about their slave relationship or the marriage oath. Of course, Tang Shaoyang no longer has any worries about Selena or Arina since they were no longer in the Arkania Continent.

He was in the home ground, a far place from the Arkania Continent. The two girls could not do anything to him or harm him by themselves, meaning their previous action was purely based on their feelings instead of a vicious scheme.

"Don\'t be afraid, I will talk to him later. If he refuses a marriage oath with you, then he\'s blind," Selena was without a doubt a top-class beauty. Zhang Mengyao had to admit that all girls he brought back from the Arkania Continent were all top-class beauties that would easily become a top model on Earth.

"I never said anything about refusing to do the marriage oath," Tang Shaoyang rolled his eyes at the girls, "It\'s you who took her away aggressively without letting me say anything."

Just like that, the last Marriage Oath was over, "Let\'s celebrate our marriage, we will cook for a big feast tonight!" Kang Xue pulled Elin to the kitchen. Elin and Delia were the two girls that could cook well among the seven girls.

They did not ask Tang Shaoyang\'s permission as they prepared the feast by themselves. The seven girls woke up the people for the feast and asked the other women for help.

While the girls were having fun by themselves, Tang Shaoyang left the house while shaking his head. He went to look for Wei Xi, soon he found the man who was talking with Cao Yuntai in front of Cao Yuntai\'s house.

"How is it? Any casualties?" Tang Shaoyang asked the two. After their return, Tang Shaoyang was locking himself in the room with the two girls. Along with the talking of the Marriage Oath, he finally had only free time by now.

Wei Xi and Cao Yuntai were beaming when he asked, "No worry, Boss. Zero casualties!" Wei Xi formed the zero with his thumb and index finger to indicate they suffer no casualty.

"However, a few of them almost died. If not for the on-time portal, they would die for sure," Cao Yuntai told him his subordinates\' tales.

Tang Shaoyang was surprised that they suffered no casualties in the fifth portal. In his case, he easily passed the portal because of Rumru\'s bloodline and help. Remembering about Rumru, it upset him again.

He just had fun to forget the foul mood for losing a precious Spirit, now he remembered it again. Even though it was not as upsetting as before, his mood took a sudden change from better to worse.

"Then we should plan the next portal carefully," Tang Shaoyang tried to change the topic. He did not want to talk about the fifth portal for the time being.

"We may have no clue for what we will face next, but from the pattern, I do believe that the next portal would be a random group again or even a solo survival," he voiced his thoughts

The first four portals were a group survival, they moved and fought in a whole group. Of course, the fifth portal was a group too but a much smaller group. He guessed that the next portal they would get separated into a smaller group or even alone to increase the difficulty.

"What do you guys think?" Tang Shaoyang asked the two.

"I guess so too," both men agreed with his conjecture.

"Do you have any plans for that?" Tang Shaoyang asked the two. He had thought about the next portal, but he wanted to know what his subordinates\' thought first as he always did.

Before Wei Xi and Cao Yuntai could give their response, the Jade Eagle Beastmen descended from the sky with his high speed. He landed next to Tang Shaoyang, "You should come with me, your subordinate is about to fight Kairu!"

The urgency in his tone could not be denied, it was clear the beastmen was concerned about the fight. That meant it was the fight that likely could not be stopped by himself.

"My subordinate? Who?" Tang Shaoyang looked toward Wen. He wondered who was challenging the Kairu since the people had been avoiding the Flaming Lion all this time.

"I don\'t know, but he looks younger than you and quite strong too. You should stop them before they are killing each other!" Wen urged Tang Shaoyang to follow him.

"Woooo… This is interesting…" Tang Shaoyang smiled as he could guess who was coming to challenge Kairu.

\'Interesting your ass!\' That was what Wen wanted to say, but he acknowledged the man as his leader, so he would not say that. Especially in front of the others.

"Let\'s take a look then!" Tang Shaoyang followed Wen.
