Tang Shaoyang blinked his eyes open as he heard the noise of water dripping from the bathroom. He opened his eyes as last night's memories returned to his mind. It was a fabulous night for sure.
Tang Shaoyang then glanced down, and he was still stark naked. He remembered that Elin was sleeping above him, and she was nowhere to be seen now. He glanced to the right, Delia was sleeping soundly while Arina was sleeping to his left. Sitting up on the bed, he saw Li Shuang sleeping on the couch, and then he saw Kang Xue was sleeping near the edge of the giant bed.
It was not emperor size or king-size bed as this as it was eight meters long and ten meters wide. Meanwhile, Liang Suyin and Li Na were hugging each other at the other side of the bed. He did not spot Elinova, meaning she was the one who was in the bathroom.
Tang Shaoyang got off the bed and walked toward the window. He opened the curtain slightly to see outside. The sun was not fully risen yet, but he could see his people start their day. While not everyone was assigned to a job, most of them were. Zhang Mengyao told him that eighty percent of the population were assigned jobs.
From the trivial things like people looking over the playground where his people left their kids while they were working. The cooking assistants, to the militia who hoped to be recruited into the Tarrior or TEIS, or became a simple farmer. There were more works than that, but Tang Shaoyang did not remember it as it was too complicated for him.
He heard the development division and stuff. They recruited people, choosing the capable people from the survivors, and handpicked them directly by Li Shuang. There was even a hunter team, the people who hunted the beast for food or gathering herbs and similar stuff in the wild. Li Shuang apparently planned to build an academy system, but she was waiting for him to discuss the academy.
Tang Shaoyang was interested in this academy stuff, but they did not have the chance to talk about it yet. When the word academy entered his head, what crossed his mind was the knight academy like the one in the Lionax Kingdom. It was not the old school of this world. 'We have Larry who teaches the knight too. That means we can save up some Coins for the class change too.'
From his knowledge, the academy student obtained the knight class after finishing the knights' basic. Tang Shaoyang then shook his head. 'I need to discuss this with Li Shuang and Larry. I don't know the details of how the knight academy works.'
He then closed the curtain and turned around, heading toward the bathroom. The sound of the dripping water still could be heard from the bathroom. He did not knock as he directly opened the door and spotted a figure was showering.
Tang Shaoyang approached Elinova from behind and hugged her. She heard the sound of the opening door, so she knew that someone was coming so she was not surprised. When the hands reached her breasts, she immediately discovered that it was her man.
"Why did you wake up so early?" Tang Shaoyang whispered to the girl.
"I am not an idle woman. I have a lot of work, making sure that my people are preparing the food properly." Elinova smiled as she replied. Of course, Tang Shaoyang was aware of her work as well. The cafeteria on the main building was not the only cafeteria as they had more cafeterias in other places. The three floors cafeteria was not enough to feed over a hundred thousand people.
There was no official division for this one, but Elinova was in charge of this issue, ensuring that the survivors were well-fed. For the time being, the survivors were not allowed to sell food by themselves, like opening restaurants or selling the raw ingredients, as everything was under the Empire's supervision. All the trades must be under the Empire's supervision, and of course, this was just a temporary measure as Li Shuang had planned something for this.
"Don't you have your subordinates? Why bother hiring them if you have to work this early?" Tang Shaoyang continued while his hands were naughty, roaming around her breasts and private region. Her breath hurried as she was stimulated by his hand.
"M-more reason for me to work early, no?" Despite the temptation, Elin still answered him. "As a leader, I have to be a great model for them. If I am late, my subordinates will start to follow me by being late to work. They think that I am late anyway so that they will come late too. We can't let such a practice happen in our workplace."
"What a great lady, but it seems you will be late for today." The little Shaoyang was rubbing her private region, and she could feel it. Elin was about to refuse, but the jolt of pleasure her body sensed just now. She did not say anything as little Shaoyang entered her, and she let out a melodic moan.
Elin placed her hands on the wall as Tang Shaoyang pushed her from behind. She realized that the last crazy night was not enough to quench her thirst for this man. An hour later, both came out of the bathroom together, and none of the girls woke up yet.
Elinova dressed up before choosing an outfit for Tang Shaoyang. Even though today was the Fighting Tournament, she picked him a suit. She picked him a maroon color, suit, pants, and tie with a black shirt inside. She learned from Zhang Mengyao and Li Shuang this was the official attire of the people on Earth.
Elinova's eyes gleamed when she saw Tang Shaoyang in the suit. "Wow, you are so dashing." She turned him around so that he could see himself in the mirror. But then she furrowed her brows, "But there's something that ruins it, that eye patch."
Elinova stood in front of Tang Shaoyang and looked at him in the face. "I wanted to ask this since yesterday, but I wish you would tell us instead. What's wrong with your left eye? Why did you wear an eye patch? Did you hurt your eye while you were in another world?"
Tang Shaoyang touched the black eye patch. He realized that he had not told her and the other girls about the eye. It was not that he did not want to tell them, but because he was just used to the eye patch and felt normal with it now. Elinova looked concerned while looking at his left eye.
"Ah, this. My left eye is fine, it just changed." Tang Shaoyang pulled off the eye patch, letting Elinova see his black eye with a red pupil. It was the Demon eye he got after evolving into a new race. He told her in detail what happened with his left eye. "I have to cover my left eye after the evolution, or the people of Lukan will mistake me as a demon. Aren't you afraid of my left eye too?"
Elinova was amazed by the story and smiled when she heard the last question. She held her cheek and pulled her face down to her before kissing his left eye. "Your left eye has changed, but the person is still the same. It does not matter whether you are a human, a Dragon, or even a Demon. To me, you are the reliable figure that will always be here to protect me, right?"
Her response caught Tang Shaoyang off guard as he did not expect to hear that from Elin's mouth. He thought she would be startled with his new appearance, but she accepted him readily regardless of the change.
"Since you have been curious since yesterday, why didn't you ask me?" Tang Shaoyang kissed her on the forehead and asked.
"I was waiting for you to tell me. I think it was not just me, but everyone else. They were waiting for you to tell them what happened to your left eye." Elinova responded with a gentle smile. "We don't want to put you in a tough situation, just in case, that left eye is a secret that no one is supposed to know, or something like that. So, no one asked you."
Tang Shaoyang smiled and got closer to her ears. "There's no secret that I can't share with you guys. Sometimes, you just need to be direct with me. As you know, I am dense with this kind of thing."
"Noted." Elinova nodded.
[Master. Kairu and Wen have returned from their trip, and they are waiting for you in the lobby.] At this moment, Origin's voice rang in his head. [Ah, Pride also just arrived.]
"Okay. Tell them to wait for me." Tang Shaoyang nodded and was about to put the eye patch on, but Elin took away the eye patch from him. "I told you, right? The eye patch ruins your handsome look. Don't wear it."
After saying that, she opened the wardrobe once more and took out a black coat. Behind the coat, there was a symbol of two gold-red dragons with the word "Tang" between the two dragon symbols.
"Zhang Mengyao and Li Shuang designed this for you. They plan to make this as an official emblem for our Empire, but they are waiting for your approval." Elinova put the coat over his shoulder. It was a long and oversized coat for Tang Shaoyang but fit well with his body, and he believed the coat served no purpose for him. Even though it was winter, the weather did not affect his body at all.
"Now you are good to go.." Elin tapped his shoulder two times.
