Chapter 1552: Little Shaoyang Has Not Yet Developed The Immunity
Tang Shaoyang went out together with Ian, Castor, and Agnes. He left Ophelius and Ophelia in his room with Avyn. Even though she was still weakened because of the penalty of dying, it should be fine to babysit the twins. And she was also fond of the twins for the reason he did not know. The crown above his head was eye-catching enough, so he would not show the twins to the others. Not before the trial started.
It was just four of them, and the first thing he observed was the building. The building was similar to the previous one but minus the arena. Instead of an arena, the lowest floor was a big lounge. The lounge was similar to the previous lounge.
As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, the participants that came earlier than them, glanced toward their direction. Agnes led the group and went to the bar area under watchful gazes. All eyes were on Tang Shaoyang who had a different crown.
"This is more nerve-wracking than I thought," Castor said as soon as his butt touched the soft chair. Then he glanced at Tang Shaoyang, who was the center of attention. He smiled wryly, seeing Tang Shaoyang not bothered by those gazes.
"There are a lot with ten points too..." As those people observed him, Tang Shaoyang also observed them. The thing he quickly noticed was the crown worth ten points. Their crown was made from gray iron, and it was not just a few, but many of them. He saw more than twenty with the gold crowns, but not a single one with the same crown as him.
"If my guess is correct, those with ten points are not in the top hundred in the first stage," Agnes responded after making the order.
"I am sorry, Tang. I forgot about your crown. You should not come with us to the public space," Ian Carmen was more concerned about Tang Shaoyang. He could feel that Tang Shaoyang became the main target as soon as they stepped into the lounge. Their sharp gazes that were filled with vicious intent could not be hidden.
Castor let out a chuckle hearing that from Ian, "I don't think you need to be worried about him, Ian. Tang will be delighted if they come for him in a flock, so he does not need to hunt them. Do you seriously think they could kill Tang?"
Ian shook his head, "If you want to live long and survive many battles, you must not underestimate them no matter how weak or strong they are. We don't know they might have an ace card in their sleeve that could bring danger."
"Thank you for your concern, Ian. But I should be fine," Tang Shaoyang nodded and smiled.
That was the first time for Agnes and Castor to see Tang Shaoyang's smile. They froze for a moment, exchanging glances. Castor had never seen such a genial smile from Tang Shaoyang. The smile he saw from Tang Shaoyang was the evil smirk, back then when he fought Vigamaur Dgaror as well as the two Admin Helpers.
The drinks came, and they exchanged small talk. Mostly they talked about the facility in this building. He was surprised that the building had a training ground, a dungeon, a blacksmith, a shop, and even a dungeon. The participant could enter a dungeon while waiting until all participants arrived for the third stage.
Tang Shaoyang mostly listened to their conversation. How Castor planned to train in the dungeon and bought some new equipment in the shop. He said there was equipment, potions, and poison that could only be bought in this place. That was why he told the others to check up on the shop and the other facilities.
It was not like Tang Shaoyang did not want to talk, but he wanted to keep it to a minimum so they did not know that he knew nothing about this place and the trial. He pretended to understand even though he knew nothing about the trial.
Fifteen minutes into the chat, he smelled a pleasant floral scent. The scent came from behind, and he subconsciously turned around.
A woman wearing a red dress came toward them. Her dress was quite revealing, showing her smooth thighs and her big cleavage with a good size. Her red long hair matched her dress, as well as her red alluring eyes, and beautiful lips.
Tang Shaoyang's eyes moved up, looking straight at the crown above her head. She had a golden crown just like Ian.
The woman was surprised that Tang Shaoyang did not give her face or body a second look. But that was not enough to shake her confidence. She bent slightly, getting her face closer to Tang Shaoyang's cheek, and whispered in her seductive voice, "I have a proposal for you, handsome."
She put her index finger on Tang Shaoyang's lips while her mouth got closer to Tang Shaoyang's eyes, close enough almost kissing him, "Form a party with me, you and me. You can take first place, and I will take second place. I will not be a burden to you. If you agree, my body and everything will be yours. From now until the trial is over, I will be yours."
Ian, Agnes, and Castor were surprised as they could hear the whisper. They exchanged glances, but they did not try to stop the woman as well. They were not that close to interfering with Tang Shaoyang's decision. While the woman might be shameless, they understood why the woman went that far. Even if it was the second-place reward was big enough.
Tang Shaoyang smiled at the proposal. If it was the old him, he would immediately bring the woman into his room. But he had developed some immunity to beauty. What he saw in this woman, he saw her quality in her wives as well. He had his Queen also with red hair, Rosalie. Her body was without a doubt hot, but all his wives were hot. He just could not see the reason for accepting her proposal that might slow him down.
"Thank you for the offer, Lady. But I have to decline your offer."
The woman with the red hair was surprised. She thought it was an offer that men could not refuse. Despite the rejection, she did not lose her temper.
"Don't reject me too quickly, Handsome. You will have time until tomorrow to think about my offer. I will be waiting here tomorrow if you change your mind,"
She left the table gracefully with the same smile.
Castor was the first one to make a ruckus after the woman was far enough from the table, "Woah!!!! Are you really rejecting her? Just take it as a one-night stand. It's not like you can get someone like her to satisfy you in a place like this."
Right after he said that Agnes cast a disgusted look at him.
"It's a good decision, Tang. You have to be careful of someone like her. She might approach you just to stab you in the back later. I don't think her body is worth the risk," Ian gave serious advice, and Agnes nodded in agreement.
Tang Shaoyang smiled at them and nodded. If it was the old him, he might accept her. He even took someone else's wife and girlfriend back then. But having a daughter changed him. What was in his mind and focus for the long term was to acquire a strength that was enough to protect his family and empire from any kind of enemies.
They stayed together for another half an hour before returning to their room. Agnes and Ian moved out of the original room. Apparently, they could make a request to have a room of their own. Castor was the only one who shamelessly stayed in the same room with Tang Shaoyang. They parted ways with no enmity.
Tang Shaoyang was about to go to his room, but Castor reached his wrist, "Can I have your time for a moment, Tang?"
Honestly, Tang Shaoyang was surprised that Castor could still act friendly after he extorted him. He thought the guy would make a scheme for revenge.
They sat on the couch in the living room, "I know this is shameless of me, but I have one request for you. Don't worry, I am not asking you to join a party with me."
Tang Shaoyang nodded, "Go on."
"My only chance to enter the top ten is by forming a party with the others. However, I have one shameless request for you. Can you ignore me and my party if we ever meet in the battle later? Can you please not chase us?"
That was indeed a shameless request. Even considering their relationship which barely knew each other. It was indeed a shameless request. But again, it did not really hurt Tang Shaoyang considering there were a thousand participants for the last stage.
"If you don't attack me, then I will not come for you. But I will not stay still if you try to kill me," Tang Shaoyang did not think that long to give Castor the answer. He could do that much, but only if they did not try to kill him first.
Castor jumped from the ouch, raising his fist to the air, "Yes!"
"Then I will give this big room to you. I am going to find my party. Wish me luck, Tang!" He waved his hand at Tang Shaoyang and left the room.
'Why do you agree to such a shameless request? In the first meeting, he tried to kill you. In the second meeting, you also barely talk with him," Vandir did not agree with Tang Shaoyang's decision, 'Remember Oby. This Castor might use your kindness just to kill you.'
"I know. I will be cautious during the trial even to him. Let's halt the discussion for now. I have something urgent!" Tang Shaoyang cut the connection with his spirits, all spirits.
He then looked down at his crotch. Even though he rejected the red-haired woman, Little Tang Shaoyang did not share the same logical reasoning with his mind. His Little Tang Shaoyang was controlled by his Carnal Desire, and Little Tang Shaoyang wouldn't go down even after half an hour. The solution was to release it but before that, he had to make sure that the room belonged to him only.
"How to check if this room is mine?" He did not want them to enter his room when he made out. Thankfully there was a response.
[All your friends have requested a new private room, so this room will become your private room. No one can enter your room unless you give an individual consent to enter your room.]
The System was more active during the trial and was helpful compared to the early of the Game.
He dashed into the room that was supposed to be Novoa's room. Then he summoned Zara. Zara was the only person he could rely on at a time like this.
