Chapter 1327 It's Time

Tang Shaoyang left the mother and the daughter at ease in the bedroom. He did not think that much about what they wanted to talk about and asked Origin to block the sound from the room. He did not have an intention to eavesdrop on their conversation, what they were talking about despite his curiosity.

Carrying her daughter to the window, letting her see the outside world for the first time. Not that Xiulan understood or was interested. The little baby gave a glance outside a few seconds before focusing on him again. The baby was no longer obsessed with his finger after a few minutes of holding his finger. Her violet eyes were now focused on her neck, so focused that he might misunderstand that she was contemplating something hard in her mind.

The curiosity got Tang Shaoyang and brought the baby up to his neck. Her head leaned to his neck as he tapped her back gently, giving a gentle nudge, up and down. The baby did not move as he noticed slowly her hands which tried to hold his neck slowly loosened. She stayed in that position for a few minutes and before he realized she fell asleep.

Tang Shaoyang sat on the sofa with Xiulan in the same position. Not long after, Elin approached him with a plate with scallion pancakes on it. He heard that she had been learning to make Chinese cuisine for him, and she always surprised him with what she learned. It was also a surprise that she could get the scallion.

As Elinova came closer, he turned around and asked in a low voice, "Is she sleeping?" There was no movement or noise from Xiulan for quite a while.

"Yes. She's sleeping," Elin answered in a whisper as well, slowly putting the plate on the table.

Tang Shaoyang was about to put Xiulan in a more comfortable position if she was sleeping. To his surprise, her little hands tried to reach his neck once more as he was about to move her. It was as if she told him not to move her.

"Is there something in my neck?" He could not help but ask Elin. It felt like there was something in his neck that attracted Xiulan, not willing to leave his neck while sleeping.

Elin got up and checked. She was also curious about what attracted Xiulan yet she found nothing, "There's nothing in your neck."

"Isn't my daughter weird? She's obsessed with my index finger and thumb, and now my neck," Tang Shaoyang was quite concerned.

"Maybe she likes your smell. From her eyes, she seems to inherit your bloodline, and maybe your smell comforts her," Elin threw a random guess. By now, everyone knew that Tang Xiulan inherited Tang Shaoyang's dragon bloodline. It was obvious from her eyes, similar eyes to her father before he upgraded the bloodline.

Tang Shaoyang nodded, supporting his daughter with his left hand as he started to eat the pancake. Elin never failed to amaze her cook. It was as if everything she cooked would be delicious.

"How is it?" The curious Elin asked with an expectant look in her eyes.

Tang Shaoyang was stuffing the pancake into his mouth and gave her a thumb-up, not just one, but two thumb-ups. Eating the pancake made him recall the past about the grandma who opened the pancake shop in his district. The grandma always gave him a free pancake during his patrol.

He was leaving the mother and the daughter at ease as he enjoyed the food. However, he felt concerned as the two did not come out of the room even after thirty minutes. He could ask Origin, but he kept reminding himself to give the mother and the daughter a private space. Even Elinova kept looking at his bedroom door repeatedly.

Another ten minutes passed, and Tang Shaoyang could not sit still. He knew Origin would immediately notify him if there was something wrong inside. The fact Origin did not say anything meant nothing happened inside. However, he really could not sit still and got up, approaching the door.

He could not hear anything inside since Origin put the room soundproof. Walking back and forth in front of the door. Another few minutes passed, and he could no longer have the patient. He was about to knock on the door, and it was opened.

Alissa came out on her own, frowning, looking at the hand that was about to knock on the door. Then her eyes fell on the sleeping baby in his arms.

That was awkward as the timing was impeccable. It was right before he was about to knock on the door, "Elin made Scallion Pancakes, do you want to try? It's one of my favorite snacks," He said awkwardly.

"I don't mind trying it," She answered and closed the door, "My Mother is sleeping right now," She told Tang Shaoyang not to come in even though it was his house, "Can I carry Xiulan?"

Tang Shaoyang did not expect the last part, "I don't mind, but maybe later," He showed how Xiulan did not want to part with his neck to avoid the misunderstanding,

For the next twenty minutes was filled with awkwardness between the two. Alissa seemed to enjoy her pancake as she finished a plate by herself before leaving.

Tang Shaoyang leaned on the couch, relieved that he was out of the predicament. He felt like it was much easier to fight the monster than facing Alissa. But he was glad that Alissa did not hate her daughter with the fact that she wanted to carry Xiulan, "One at a time…." He muttered.

That was his day, he spent his days with her daughter almost from the moment he opened his eyes until he slept in the night. Xiulan's obsession with his neck was stronger than her obsession with his finger. The proof was that she always wanted to be placed near his neck each time he carried her. Three days passed, and it was a good three-day break after the battle.

The first work of the day was to have a meeting with his subordinates, including the vassal. It was an annual meeting for the year. The sub-faction officially formed yesterday, and all the vassals in a separate faction merged into The Tang Empire. Everyone attended the meeting, and Tang Shaoyang's presence was required.

After three hours of listening to the Tang Empire's development progress, the annual meeting reached its end. The last topic for the meeting was Jasmine and Alton. The Queen and the now Vice Supreme General proposed to hold a festival. The festival was meant as a celebration of their victory against the three factions from the other worlds, the celebration of Tang Shaoyang's victorious battle.

Not just to celebrate the victory, but the festival was also for soldiers to relax after the stressful battle. Almost everyone agreed to the proposal while a few thought it was unnecessary especially when the Tang Empire was in the most crucial time of their development. However, the final decision was in Tang Shaoyang's hands.

"That's a good idea. Our people also need rest from their work, no? Let's make it a national holiday as well," While he said that, he agreed for another reason. The festival was also meant for his daughter's birthday. That was the biggest reason he agreed with the festival.

Jasmine would be responsible for the festival, for everything including the name of the festival itself. With that, the meeting was over, and Tang Shaoyang did not head back to his room like he always did. He went to the rooftop. This had become a new place for him if he had to think about something.

The first issue in his head was to find a way to get back to the Arkania Continent. There were two important pieces in that world for him. First, it was to unseal his Black Dragon Spirit. Second, it was his promise to The Goddess of Love, Lunea.

The reason he wanted to get there as fast as he could was obvious: the preparation before the truce between The Nirvana and The Tang Empire was over. He believed Nirvana would not let him be for what he had done, and he planned to eradicate the threat over his people.

"Do you think you can find a way to the Arkania Continent, Zara, Karoen?" Both were proficient in Void Elemental that related to space. He hoped for both to find their way through The Dimensional Gate. The System rewarded him with a Dimensional Gate that could link Earth to another random world. He hoped Karoen and Zara could help him to make the Dimensional Gate link to a specific world, and that world was where the Arkania Continent was.

[It's more complicated than it looks. The clues about the Arkania Continent can't help, but I can try. If this works, I hope you can spare a Dimensional Gate for me. I also want to visit my homeland.] Karoen was happy to help because this would help to return to his original world as well.

"I think we can always buy that Dimensional Gate. Not cheap, but we can afford many of them," Tang Shaoyang easily agreed to Karoen's request because going to Karoen's world might help him as well. He then summoned Zara and Karoen, "Lead them to Dwarven Keep, Origin! There's someone among the dwarfs can help you two because they created the dimensional gate for me once."

After the two spirits left, Tang Shaoyang remained on the rooftop. He opened the window. It was time for him to start to gather God Shard and ascend to the God Rank.
