Chapter 766: Return Part 1
It was just a day before the System Fighting Tournament, and there was still no news from Tang Shaoyang. Zhang Mengyao reviewed the paper in her hand, but she could not just focus on the work with her current mental state. From the Faction System, she could see that she was still the Vice-Leader of the Tang Empire, meaning Tang Shaoyang was still alive. If he died in another world, the faction leader would automatically change.
Zhang Mengyao put the paper back into the pile and rubbed her forehead. They had done everything within their capability for the System Fighting Tournament. They had cleared six Survival Games within three weeks, basically speed-running the Survival Game, and they had achieved exponent growth.
The tournament was not her primary concern, it was Tang Shaoyang's well-being. The fear of losing Tang Shaoyang, the man she loved. She realized that she had developed a deep feeling for the man. Even though they started with an ill incident, the feeling grew as time passed, and she realized that her biggest fear was losing her man.
Bam!
At this moment, the door flung open, and a figure dashed into her room. Zhang Mengyao startled and looked up. Li Na entered the room in a hurry.
"The Dimensional Gate is operating again, Sister Meng. The Dimensional Gate is operating again." Li Na was telling Zhang Mengyao to the point of screaming. Her voice echoed in the room, and Zhang Mengyao looked at Li Na in a daze. It took her a while to process what Li Na said to her. The Supreme General snapped out from her thoughts and jumped out from the chair.
The Dimensional Gate was actually very far from the main base, but Zhang Mengyao did not care about the distance. She did not even bother with the car as she rushed by running. However, a huge shadow loomed over her as she looked up.
Li Na was flying above her with her second familiar, Seraphic. It was a giant aerial beast with shiny white feathers. The bird had a similar look to the eagle with a golden crown on its head. What made it different from the regular bird was its three pairs of wings. The giant bird came down closer to hear, and Zhang Mengyao heard Li Na's voice afterward.
"Hop on, Sister Meng." Li Na called out. It was surely much faster than running on the ground as they would not encounter any obstacle in the air. Zhang Mengyao nodded and leaped toward Seraphic. The gigantic beast accelerated toward where the Dimensional Gate was.
The hundreds of kilometers distance was not an issue for Seraphic as Li Na hurried the beast. The days of the trip were shortened to an hour, thanks to Seraphic. The giant beast landed right in front of a building. The building was more like a shrine, and the Dimensional Gate was inside that shrine.
Zhang Mengyao jumped off the beast and rushed into the building. Since the building had the Dimensional Gate, it was heavily guarded by the Tarriors. She ignored the guard's greetings and barged into the chamber. As the door flung open, she saw the functioning Dimensional Gate. However, her eyes did not look toward the Dimensional Gate as there was a familiar figure standing in front of the Dimensional Gate.
Zhang Mengyao paused for a moment as she felt a different aura from the man, but then she rushed toward the figure and jumped onto Tang Shaoyang. Yeah, she grabbed Tang Shaoyang with all fours. Yes, it was more like catching instead of hugging him.
Tang Shaoyang was stunned by Zhang Mengyao's antics, but then he responded warmly. He stroked her black hair. Zhang Mengyao did not say anything for a while.
"I am back." Tang Shaoyang did not know what to say as he was caught off guard. This was not Zhang Mengyao he knew of. She usually could maintain her composure despite the situation, but she was off her character this time.
"I miss you." Zhang Mengyao finally spoke. "I thought I was not going to see you anymore. The Dimensional Gate stopped functioning a few hours after you entered the gate a few hours. I thought something had happened to you."
"It's okay, it's okay. I am here now." Tang Shaoyang stroked her hair and whispered. "Hey, everyone is looking at us." The Tarriors that guarded the Dimensional Gate were looking at them. He understood why they had that kind of reaction as he was also surprised by her.
Zhang Mengyao got off from Tang Shaoyang after realizing they were being watched. Despite everything she did early on, she maintained a straight face. "Welcome back." Then she found Selena and a rabbit girl. She squinted her eyes at Selena, and the latter shook her head helplessly. She told Zhang Mengyao that she could not keep her promise to watch over their man.
Tang Shaoyang pretended not to notice the exchange between Zhang Mengyao and Selena. He looked at the entrance as a petite figure walked at a quick pace. Li Na's eyes brightened when she noticed her man's arrival, but she was more reserved than Zhang Mengyao. She came over and stood next to Zhang Mengyao. "Welcome back~."
"Let's get back. There are a lot of things we need to take care of." Tang Shaoyang waved his hand at Selena and Sylvia. But Zhang Mengyao did not go easy on Tang Shaoyang. "Why don't you introduce us to this beautiful lady?" The beautiful lady in her mouth was, of course, Sylvia.
Li Na glanced curiously at Sylvia, and this was not the first she saw a beastmen as she encountered a lot of them when she went through the Survival Game. She just never saw the rabbit one. Her eyes glanced at the fluffy ear and tail, back and forth.
As for Sylvia, she had been informed by Selena that Tang Shaoyang had other women on Earth. She was not surprised to see her husband's other women as soon as she arrived on Earth. The Moonlight Maiden took a step forward and bowed her head politely.. "Hello, my name is Sylvia, and I am from the Moonlight Rabbit Tribe."
