Death... and me
chapter-3089

*Bang!*

*Crash!

Out of nowhere, Tana kicked Yuan, sending him like a cannonball into the wall. "What do you mean with 'do whatever you want to me,' uh?!" She was enraged... and very, very red. "It sounds like we will be separated here and never see each other ever again. What is this? Are you intending to become a puppet or something?"

Everyone looked at that with weird expressions. Yet, no one seemed willing to intervene.

Rean looked at that, then back at Drefin. Drefin also seemed to look at Rean. For a moment, both exchanged a few Spiritual Sense Messages.

Tana then grabbed Yuan's foot and dragged him back to the middle of the meeting hall. "Father, he is mine! I found him all those years ago, so I won't give him to anyone!"

Drefin wanted to laugh right there and then, but he held himself back. "Can't do, Tana. Even if it is you, I won't accept. I already have a plan for him. I will find him a proper partner and have him spread the bloodline as much as possible. This is for the sake of the future of the Palace. That said, I will take Yuan's offer."

His expression turned serious. "Tana, you are now free since you don't have the most important bloodline in the Palace anymore. Go back to your room and do whatever you want. Pack your things and go travel. Or just spend the rest of your life lazily. Whatever you decide, it is not a problem. You just can't have Yuan. That is decided."

Tana gritted her teeth hard, but Yuan quickly got up and patted her shoulder. "It is fine, Tana. That's why I entered the Heavenly Marine Tunnel, right? To get you your freedom. Now, I have succeeded. And since I'm under the effect of the Soul Binding Contract, my words are true. Besides, it is not like my life will be bad or anything. I just won't be there for you. I've never been of much use in your life anyway, so it won't change much."

Too bad that the girl didn't want to accept it. "I said you are mine, so you are mine. End of story." She quickly turned to Drefin, speaking loudly. "You said that you will use him to get as many descendants as possible, right. Very well, I shall carry that responsibility."

Drefin and Rean couldn't be happier. That girl would never accept being controlled, so if Drefin told her to become Yuan's partner right there, she would never accept it. That idea would have to come from her at all costs. That's when Rean spoke to Drefin again. Demon Beasts aren't very good at plotting things, after all. Rean told Drefin what he had to say if he wanted that outcome. Besides, it wasn't that bad since Yuan's words had truly caught the girl's heart. It's just that she would have a hard time admitting it. Now, it was perfect. She was taking the 'responsibility' of becoming Yuan's partner just so she would not let him go. She 'got' what she wanted.

Yuan looked at Tana. He did it all to set her free, and now she was locking herself to him. "But... then you won't-"

Tana glared at him, making Yuan shut his mouth midway. "I decided that myself, so you don't have to say anything else. What? Are you disappointed with me?"

Yuan straightened himself immediately. "Absolutely not! I couldn't be happier!"

Tana nodded, satisfied. Then, she remembered what she would have to do from now on to make that wish come true, and it would be a hazardous task. After all, Yuan now had a terrifyingly powerful bloodline, which meant... producing descendants wouldn't be easy. There would be a need for a LOT of 'work' in there.

Drefin didn't lose that chance. It would be terrible if the girl noticed she was being manipulated. "Tana, are you sure that is what you want? At least until you have a few descendants, you won't be allowed to go too far. I'm only considering this proposal because you also have our Golal Shark Bloodline on top of the Charybdis Bloodline. But, if you think this is too big of a burden, there are plenty of female Sea Demon Beasts in the Palace who wouldn't mind taking up this task."

Tana did her best to put those thoughts away and nodded. "Hmph! If any of those pieces of shit get close to my Yuan, see if I don't swallow them whole! I understand my part in this deal, so I will ma-ma-make... make a lot of... des-descendants... as possible!" Too bad it didn't seem to be working.

Drefin looked around at the various elders. There is no doubt many of them would rather have their female descendants with Yuan instead. However, because Tana does have the highest concentration of Charybdis Bloodline other than Yuan and Drefin, they couldn't complain about this outcome either.

No, actually, it was even better. If Yuan and Tana produce descendants, those descendants could then take their females. Instead of a single Yuan, it would be a lot better if there were many. Well, it would take a long time until these descendants appeared. Fortunately, they are all Stage Nine and Transition Realm Sea Demon Beasts. Time is what they have most.

"Elders," Drefin spoke. "I'm sorry that my daughter is causing so much trouble. I hope you accept her as well as Yuan's partner."

"Hahaha!" Someone immediately laughed. "What is there to complain?"

"Indeed," another elder spoke. "Just make sure to 'work' a lot so we can see these descendants."

"The more, the better!" Said one more elder.

Soon, even Nesfavo accepted that situation. He didn't like Yuan, but he definitely liked the prospect of the descendants, one of which would definitely come to his race. "Fine! If what Yuan was thinking about was Tana, I guess it isn't that bad that he didn't think about the Palace first."

And so, it was decided that Yuan and Tana would become mates.

*Pin!*
