Chapter 1346 Frost

"This is not a confession, but an arranged marriage. You look decent except for your weird black eye. It looks like a demon eye which I don't like. Everything else is looking good, and I like your pupil the most." The female Frost Tigra commented as she commented on Tang Shaoyang's look. She looked satisfied with her future husband.

Tang Shaoyang chuckled and shook his head, "I never agreed to your father's proposal, so technically your father lied to you."

He could not see the Frost Tigra's face but her look did not matter to him. He had no plan to increase his wives as he currently had sixteen wives. There were two more wives who were still in Spirit form, waiting for the resurrection. There was also Avyn who fessed up that she was also one of his women in his meeting with all his wives for the first time.

Every time he wanted to clarify the situation with Avyn, she always avoided him. She always changed the topic or she would ignore him. He could not confirm anything, and that would make it to nineteen wives.

"Are you trying to annul our marriage?" The female beastmen did not like the answer. Her tone was cold and icy.

Tang Shaoyang massaged the space between his eyes. He felt like it was so hard for him just to meet Frost. If not because he needed them to find where Lunea, The Goddess of Light was, he would not bother to talk it out with them. He would just leave to look for Lunea as she would be a great helper for him to fight Nirvana later on. That was his second goal coming to Aqura, and he had achieved his first goal which was Rumru. A wife was not on his list.

"I apologize if you see it like that. I can't annul our arranged marriage that I never agreed to," Tang Shaoyang made it clear to the lady that he was not going to marry her. He made sure that she received the message as well with his firm tone.

"You haven't seen me yet, why are you in such a hurry to reject me?" The Frost Tigra pulled out her helmet. Her snow-white hair draped loosened, revealing the cat-like ear, and short whisker on her cheek. Aside from her ear and whisker, he looked like a human. Her blue crystalline-like eyes were mesmerizing, and without a doubt, she was a pretty lady who did not lack suitors. More reason for him to decline her because she deserved a better man than him who already had too many wives.

Tang Shaoyang smiled, "You are pretty, that's more reason for you not to marry someone like me. You deserve someone better than me. Don't get me wrong, I refuse the proposal not because you are not pretty, but because I have sixteen official wives. You deserve someone better."

Her blue eyes widened a little bit. The number indeed surprised her, causing her to frown.

"I will talk this out with your father, so you don't need to worry about this fake engagement," He thought he put the lady in a tough spot. This lady might be forced to accept the engagement by her father. And Frost needed a good scolding for sure.

"It's already too late. You have to accept the engagement and help The Orin Kingdom. My father said that you are our only hope…." She told Tang Shaoyang what happened to the Orin Kingdom, and the reason why they were pushed to the top of an isolated mountain like this. It was basically what Rumru told him earlier, but much shorter.

Those princes from the neighboring kingdoms turned toward The Orin Kingdom because her father refused all the engagement proposals. Not only did they not have an ally, but those kingdoms turned against them when Phoebus Temple and Clown Troupe attacked The Orin Kingdom. Basically, she told him that The Orin Kingdom became like this because of him, because her father thought he would accept her, and Frost wanted to keep her daughter for him.

"We are in a current predicament because my father rejected proposals from several kingdoms. He declined the proposal because of you, so you must take responsibility!"

Tang Shaoyang had an urge to roll his eyes if this was not a serious issue, "Let's make it clear. It's not my fault. It's not my responsibility either because The Orin Kingdom is not my kingdom. It's your father's fault."

He raised his index finger, stopping the lady to cut him off, "Let me finish my sentence. That's not my fault, that's not my responsibility, but I will help Frost and Jacky because of my promise to Rumru. You don't need to worry about me running because I came here to settle some scores with those gods."

"Now can you guide me to your father?"

"Uncle Jacky is dead. He died in the hands of Sun God and Clown God's Apostles to protect my father. Just informing you that you can't meet Uncle Jacky again," After saying that, she turned around and said in a low voice, "Follow me."

'What is this? You told me that I can meet Jacky and Frost in the city?' Tang Shaoyang asked Rumru for confirmation. The Black Dragon told him that Jacky was still alive, but the lady said something different.

[What? The last time I saw her, he was still alive! I know he's fatally injured from the fight against the two God's apostles, but he returned alive.] Rumru still thought Jacky was alive which confused Tang Shaoyang.

That statement made Tang Shaoyang suspicious of Frost's daughter. There was no reason for Rumru to lie, but Frost's daughter might lie to him. He was unsure why she would lie to him, but that was enough to make him suspicious of her. He chose to believe Rumru, a spirit that was on his side rather than someone he just met.

"Can you wait a little more? I need to get these bodies," Tang Shaoyang stored the dead bodies from the Phoebus Legion and Clown Troupe. Those bodies were good materials for summoning spirits. If Jacky was dead, he might have a chance to summon that red monkey again as a spirit. Especially if that red monkey still had lingering desire or regret before he died.

Tisha and Frost's daughter for Tang Shaoyang. Even though both were curious about what Tang Shaoyang wanted to do with the bodies. No one asked him anything. Meanwhile, the hundred beastmen warriors were healed with the healing potion, and they were back on their feet.

On the way back to the city, Tang Shaoyang did not ask anything regarding Jacky. He would find the answer soon.

When he arrived at the same gate earlier, more guards were stationed at the gate. The gate was guarded by many, over a hundred on top of the wall and another two hundred behind the gate. The army was a mix of beastmen and humans, and he was surprised to see the human. He thought Frost would only establish a kingdom with just beastmen. Seeing humans in the army was surprising, especially with Rumru's bad blood with the humans.

Instead of opening the gate, they entered through the small door which was part of the gate itself. Two hundred warriors were lined up, to the left and right, creating a path for their return.

"What's the situation?" A male Flaming Lion came over in haste and asked Frost's daughter. Kairu was the leader of Crimson Tribe, and he wondered who replaced Kairu's position right now. With the time difference between the two worlds, Kairu's strength might be left behind than his people by now.

"The Clown Troupe and The Phoebus Legion climb up the mountain and almost ambush us from the back," The revelation caused a stir between the soldiers. If the ambush succeeded, the city might fall already. N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.net

"Thanks to our savior. They killed five hundred knights of the Clown Troupe and Phoebus Legions, foiling their plan to sneak into our city," Frost's daughter showed Tang Shaoyang, Avyn, and Radiance.

The Flaming Lion glanced at the group of three, and he stopped longer on Avyn.

"He is my father's acquaintance, and I will lead them to meet my father. Please stay on guard for a little longer, in case they send more people to infiltrate the city again."

The Flaming Lion had more to say, but he held back after hearing that Tang Shaoyang was The King's acquaintance. He was suspicious of the three's identity, but Avyn's presence put him at ease a little. Her identity as a beastmen made him believe that the three came with no harm.

They walked through the street which was empty. The other citizens were back in their houses after the bell. A few minutes walk, and they arrived at the heavily guarded mansion at the center of the city. There was no castle to represent the kingdom, but just a bigger house where The King lived.

They just entered the gate, and a figure burst out from the door of the mansion. The towering three-and-a-half-meter figure stopped at the door and looked at Tang Shaoyang. His listless eyes gleamed at the sight of Tang Shaoyang.

Frost rushed toward Tang Shaoyang and hugged him up to the air, "You are finally back! I know you will return. I know you will come back!"
