But why are you swearing allegiance to me, to the Tang Empire? That was what The Emperor wanted to know.

Zaneos maintained his smile, "Killing the Demon King is one of my goals, but I figure out that using my second life purely for vengeance is just a waste, no? On top of that, I don't know if the Demon King is still alive or dead by now. I don't know how long time has passed in my original world. Rather than dwelling on my past, I want to live to the fullest in my second chance. Serving you might not be a bad choice, Your Majesty. Having a family will be nice too."

Tang Shaoyang's worries disappeared after hearing that directly from Zaneos' mouth, "I am flattered you are willing to dedicate your second life to me, Zaneos. I am more than happy to have you," He pulled the demon swordsman and hugged the demon tightly. It was a sense of relief and happiness.

"Cough… Cough… Cough…" Zaneos coughed three times, "I don't think it's appropriate to hug me like this, Your Majesty."

The Emperor pushed the demon and teased him, "I don't think you are the shy type, Zaneos."

"It's not about being shy, Your Majesty. It's just not appropriate for someone of your status to hug a lowly servant like me. If that was seen by the others, people might look down on you," Zaneos shook his head. He was not shy but was considered to be his Master. In fact, he was happy that Tang Shaoyang hugged him despite what he had gone through just now, 'I think it's not just him getting stronger in power, but his mental strength as well.'

Tang Shaoyang shook his head and tapped the demon's shoulder two times, "You are being too concerned over something small, Zaneos. No one will dare to look down, let alone mock me. Let's skip that boring talk." The Emperor walked back to the throne and sat. He faced the demon and asked, "What are you going to do? Do you want to join the Tarrior? Or do you want to venture out as part of the expansion team? Or do you have something you want to do?"

"Tarrior…." The Void Sword muttered in a low voice. He looked up and closed his eyes. His mind recalled the past where he led the Demon King's army on the front line, "I led The Demon King's army in my past life, so I want to try something new this time. I don't know yet what I want to do," The demon was at a loss for what he wanted to do. He had not thought about it yet as the resurrection was so sudden, "can I have a few days to think about it, Your Majesty?"

"Of course, you can have weeks, months, or even years to think about it. Take your time, Zaneos," Tang Shaoyang nodded with a smile etched on his face.

Not long after that, the sound of a knocking door rang in the throne hall. The sound was soft, but it was easy to hear how empty the throne hall was. Zaneos' figure disappeared into the shadow of the pillar in a matter of a second. The demon did not want the others to see him yet.

"Who is it, Origin?" Tang Shaoyang could not see through the door, but Origin should know who knocked on the door.

[It's Jiaying, Master. She's coming with Li Yue.]

Li Jiaying and Li Yue, the former was Li Shuang's daughter, and the latter was Li Na's little sister. Both were Li's, but they were not related by blood.

Tang Shaoyang's figure disappeared from the throne and appeared in front of the double door. Both little girls might not have enough strength to push the double door, the only reason why they did not barge into the room. He pulled the door, and two small figures lurched forward. Both little girls tried to push the door, but it suddenly opened.

Of course, Tang Shaoyang would not let the two little girls fall to the ground. He caught them before they touched the floor, "Ooyah, that's dangerous."

Li Jiaying and Li Yue were shocked, as they almost fell. However, the shock was replaced with joy when they saw Tang Shaoyang's face.

"Daddy!" "Brother!" The two little girls shouted simultaneously. They circled their hands around his neck immediately, hugging him tightly.

Tang Shaoyang smiled and kissed their foreheads in turn, "Why are you looking for me?" He walked out of the throne, closing the door. At the same time, he looked at where Zaneos hid. His lips moved, speaking without noise, 'Do whatever you want; we will meet again at night.'

'Why didn't you tell me that Jiaying and Yue are looking for me, Origin?' He questioned the Smart AI. If the AI told him the two little girls were looking for him, then he would come to them instead.

[But….] Origin's voice cut off. It did not finish the words, but Tang Shaoyang immediately understood what happened.

'I see…. I am sorry, Origin. My mind is quite in a mess right now….' He apologized to the AI. Origin did not tell him because he was still on his mental break. In fact, his mind was still a mess, right as he kept thinking that he was the most terrible person in the world.

[You don't have to apologize, Master. I should lead Little Miss Jiaying and Little Miss Yue to Lady Li Shuang instead. I am not considerate enough to realize you still need time to be alone]

"Did you forget our promise?" Li Yue asked with a sulking tone as her lips formed a small pout.

Tang Shaoyang was stunned for a moment as he did not know what Li Yue was talking about. He tried to recall the promise, but he did not remember anything.

[Two days ago, when you were in a hurry to make out with Lady Li Na and Lady Li Shuang, you promised them in a hurry that you would stroll to the city together with them. I think you are in a hurry and don't listen to what they said, Master.] Origin came in with the clutch.

"Of course, I remember," Tang Shaoyang grinned, "Let's go!"
