The man in golden armor felt his jaw dropped when he heard that he suddenly got a princess to serve and the princess is a young boy. Then, he felt as if the world collapsed when he saw the boy slapped the lord.
The lord who wouldn't even let the conferred empire crown princess touch the corner of his robe actually smiled when the boy slapped him.
He wanted to cover his eyes with both hands but could only remain composed when he saw his master patted the silver-haired boy hand gently as if it was a fragile treasure.
"Alright, alright… I won't tease but it is true that you are going to be my wife."
"Who said?!" Tian Xuan roared.
"I said it. Are you going to take back your word about giving me a child?"
"N-no! Six years later, I will give—--give you what you want but I won't marry you!"
"That won't do. I don't want to be an irresponsible person that carelessly make a child with someone." Long Zhang lowered his head and whispered softly next to Tian Xuan's ear. "We will marry first and do the deed later."
"Marry your head! Go marry yourself!!"
Tian Xuan struggled to get out of Long Zhang embrace but the man just chuckled as he didn't even use half of his full strength to hug Tian Xuan.
Long Zhang looked at the man in golden armor and waved his hand.
"You are dismissed. Tell the other that six-year from now, I will be bringing a lord as my wife back to the palace."
The man in the armor felt the need to say something but refrained from saying a word.
He nodded his head and entered the void again.
Long Zhang released Tian Xuan and the boy huffed in anger. They soon went to meet up with Yi Ling and Tian Qiu.
Tian Xuan introduced Yi Ling as his disciple while Tian Qiu as his soul contracted beast.
Again, before Tian Xuan able to introduce the man as the soul mate owner, Long Zhang politely introduced himself as Tian Xuan's husband shocking the Yi Ling and Tian Qiu. Tian Xuan kicked Long Zhang but ended up injuring his leg.
Whilst Long Zhang healed Tian Xuan's leg using his Superior Zhenqi, the man also explained that Tian Xuan will be marrying him six years later because Tian Xuan is his soul mate.
Tian Qiu just shook his head when he heard what Tian Xuan explained through the small world.
<<So this man is the owner of that small part of your soul? The headquarters don't tell me anything. I was extremely worried that your connection to me was cut off but it was not a weird thing now that I know he is linked more closely to your soul than me.>>
'... I don't care about that. I'm only worried that I would be submissive to him for the rest of my life.'
<<Don't worry Lord Tian! After I became the advance system, I will naturally be linked more closely to your soul and that way, we can return his soul back to him while your luck remain neutral.>>
'That's good then.' Tian Xuan nodded his head while thinking inwardly.
"Oh… so, Lord Tian is Lord Zhang's fiancé?" Yi Ling blinked her eyes while admiring the sight of the over lordly handsome man massaging a pretty boy's foot. She is already 15 years old so there are many things that she has seen while having a status as a slave fighter.
The fact that the world is also slowly becoming more open about the relationship between two men or two women also made her accept their relationship so readily. If it was other people, they won't be as open-minded as her.
Long Zhang smiled when he heard the word fiancé. He turned to Tian Xuan and speaks teasingly.
"Your disciple is cute. You are even cuter."
Tian Xuan rolled his eyes avoid looking at Long Zhang and replied to what Yi Ling asked.
"You can say it as so…" Tian Xuan was tired to explain so he just accepted whatever Long Zhang said to others.
He was just in a conflict because he has fallen in love before but never had his love returned so he never knew how to respond to this weird relationship. He is even more conflicted now because he is going to take the woman role in the relationship.
He doesn't really feel anything toward Long Zhang but it would be a lie if Tian Xuan said that his heart wasn't touched by Long Zhang when the man protect him with his all when Tian Xuan was still in grass form.
In the end, Tian Xuan has decided to make things clear between him and Long Zhang. After he told Yi Ling to go back first to Wu Clan, he was left with Long Zhang alone at the mountain.
He pulled Long Zhang's collar and speak in a low tone. His eyes looked up to the black eyes that feels like it could swallow everything as a whole.
"You better not try anything funny in the six-year duration. On account of what you have done for me when I was a simple grass, I agreed to marry you however after, I have given birth to a child, I will take that child and you better return to where you came too."
Long Zhang frowned and shook his head. "That won't do. Six years later, we will be marrying so I will be your husband. I don't want to be an irresponsible man."
Tian Xuan pondered a moment before glaring the man. "You can visit the child but you cannot take him away from me. No need to put up an act and no marrying!"
Long Zhang saw the resoluteness in the boy's eyes and couldn't help but sighed helplessly. In the end, he has to use 'that' on the boy. If not, who knows how many time the boy going to bring up this topic.
His black eyes changed to purple for a short moment and a shard of glint flashed across Tian Xuan's eyes.
"If you don't want me to force myself on you, you better accept your title as my wife."
Tian Xuan felt his face hot and gripped the man's collar tightly. Suddenly, his mouth blabber insistently.
"I accept being your wife but you must be serious about your role as my husband. You have to provide me with regard to many things. If you cheat on me to find other people, I will tell you to leave me. If you fail to protect me, you have to leave me too. If you refuse to accept my condition, I refuse to be your wife."
Long Zhang smiled and carried Tian Xuan up. He raised the boy's chin and kissed the soft plump lips.
"I accept your condition."
"Y-you!!" That was his first kiss!!
Tian Xuan realized that he has said something absurd before his first kiss got stolen. However, he could not understand how it happens and why did he feel like it truly came from the bottom of his heart.
"Call me Zhang gege for now."
"Who's going to!"
Long Zhang held his chin as if seriously thinking about it and then curved his lips as he replied. "You."
Tian Xuan's face darkened but it became darker when Long Zhang shamelessly continued.
"Or, you can choose to call my husband. Or master."
"I will call you Ah Zhang, that's all! No more than that!"
"That's good too, but it doesn't feel special… How about Zhangfu?" Long Zhang smiled bitterly while his eyes looking at Tian Xuan pleadingly.
"Who would want to call you 'hubby'?! I will call you Ah Zhang, end of the story!"
Tian Xuan stomped his feet and walked away.
Long Zhang chuckled as he followed closely behind the boy.
When they reached Wu Clan, Tian Xuan realized that he forgot to go to the mountain that Tian Qiu discovered. He sighed helplessly but he is too tired to return.
He was too tired to bother with Long Zhang so the man took the opportunity to introduce himself as Tian Xuan's fiancé and as expected, the Ethereal Demonic Black Cloud sect was shocked while the Wu Clan scanned the man trying to figure out his real strength.
Tian Xuan entered his bedroom and jumped on his bed.
"Aiya! It's hard!"
[Zhangfu means hubby in Chinese. Lao Gong is also hubby but Zhangfu is a play on word right here it means hubby too but Long Zhang name has Zhang, just by adding fu behind it became hubby.]
