Chapter 966: Purpose

Chapter 966: Purpose

"Another side of me being careless and thoughtless," Tang Shaoyang responded in a dejected voice. He knew that he was not a perfect human being, but he kept finding flaw after flaw in himself. For some reason, he could not find a better trait on him aside from his d*ck talent granted by the system.         

    

He never thought of that consequence before, infighting between his women. If he thought about it, there was a high chance that would happen, especially when his women had kids later. Inheritance and stuff like that could cause a conflict in the future.     

"I don't think I can help with the goal thingy, like the purpose of the empire and stuff. However, I will share my ideal life. I will say the ideal way to live instead of the goal. For me, I just want to stay with you, with the other girls, and my future children forever. I want to use my power to protect, protecting what I have now," Zhang Mengyao did not know how to help her man, but she told him what she thought about the goal.     

She did not want to be the strongest in the whole universe; she sought power to protect the people she loved. Tang Shaoyang might be stronger than her, but she could use her power to help to protect what was precious to him. With that in her mind, she chose this path in her life.     

"Goal, huh? We are talking about goals, but I don't actually have a goal in my life. Maybe because I have a satisfying life here, so I never thought about that," That was Kang Xue's response as she realized that she did not have a set purpose in her life, "Now I think about it. I don't really have a goal in my life even before the game." The former doctor came to a realization.     

"I have everything. A proper job, a loving family, and enough money for my lifestyle. If there's anything I lack, it's a partner that can satisfy me like you," She circled her finger on his chest.     

"Someone who was shy before had become bolder each time, huh?" Zhang Mengyao let out a chuckle. The former doctor was the shyest when it came to threesomes. Everything changed; she became even more open and bolder, not just with her actions but also with her words.     

"I see…." Tang Shaoyang muttered, "Rather than a goal, it should be whether I am satisfied with what I have right now, right?" He concluded after hearing the two girls' opinions.     

"That's not necessarily true," Zhang Mengyao sat up and looked straight at his eyes, "Also, it's better for you to ask the other girls, too, no? More opinions will help you to think of your goal. Rather than a goal itself, you seem to be confused with the meaning of goal…." She paused and scratched her forehead, "It's kinda confusing…." She massaged her forehead, "It's not that you don't know what a goal is, more like you are confused because of the responsibility on your shoulder. You are not just an individual, but an Emperor, a leader of many people. I think that's what confuses you to set up a goal for yourself."     

"I agree with that," Kang Xue responded immediately, "So yeah, listening to the other girls might help you. But again, the main question is, what do you want to achieve with the Empire? Also, you are not on a deadline or something, so you can think it through slowly."     

Tang Shaoyang scratched his head, "That's true…. I wonder why I think I need to decide the goal immediately? Is that out of fear?"     

*** ***     

Tang Shaoyang followed Zhang Mengyao's advice, asking all the girls about their goals. Of course, while he was at it, he apologized to all the girls. The apology was not necessary, but that eased his heart a little.     

"What's my goal? Hmmm, I want us forever together," Li Na answered with a wide smile.     

"Hmmm, my dream is to stay with you together," Delia answered shyly, "But again, I miss my family too. Maybe meeting them again is one of my goals too."     

"I am satisfied with what I have. I don't think I have a grand goal," Liang Suyin the Fire Witch replied seriously, "Ah, also, I want to be useful to you. I will work hard, so no one dares to look down on The Empire, let alone you."     

"Goal, huh? As long as you are with me, I am satisfied. Maybe having your children is my next goal, but I am content with my current life," Arina and Selena had similar answers for him. Both were former slaves, and both did not really have a grand goal. Selena had avenged her twin sister, and Arina had a normal life of adventure.     

"My goal? I want The Empire to thrive! I want to make The Tang Empire the strongest empire!" Ashley replied with great determination. The former knight dedicated her life to the Empire as she still had her knight heart, "Also, I want us to have at least three children."     

"I want my kingdom to survive, to thrive under the Tang Empire." The former Elven Elder, Aleesa, gave her answer. Sylvia, the Moonlight Maiden, gave him a similar reply, but instead of the kingdom, it was her tribe. Both were more into politics, which was understandable since they married for political reasons.     

"My goal is to serve you, Master. I want my life to be useful for you," Viona, the former noble lady who was now part of the intelligence division, answered him.     

The last person he had a conversation with for the silly goal was Elinova. Of course, before he talked about the goal, he apologized to her first for what he had done.     

"Hah… Hah… Hah…" Elinova breathed raggedly as she had just finished the pleasure battle. She was currently sitting on Tang Shaoyang's lap with little Shaoyang still inside her. White liquid dripped from her nether region as she made a satisfied expression.     

"You don't need to apologize. You save the villagers, you never wrong me, and I don't regret my decision either," The purple-haired woman replied with a smile, "Goal, huh? Maybe I want to make the most delicious dish for you to eat. I want to be the best cook. That's my goal."
