“Do not be overly formal!” Tan Yun said lightly.
“Yes, Lord Ancestral God!” Five hundred billion soldiers rose in unison.
“You all remain on standby,” Tan Yun instructed. After speaking, he turned to Tuoba Yingying and the other women and said, “Follow me, I have something to discuss with you.”
The women responded in unison and followed Tan Yun as they flew up to the city tower.
The women responded and followed Tan Yun as they flew into a grand hall within the city towers.
In the hall, Tan Yun looked at the group of women with a serious expression and said, “Zhang Sun Xuan Qi, Zhang Sun Peng Kun, Gong Zhi Han, and Xiao Yutian, the lowest among them is a first layer ancestral king, and some are even second layer ancestral kings.”
“Coupled with the Great Demon Lord, they have five top-tier powerhouses on their side. Therefore, after careful consideration, I will only bring Rou'er and Yuyan with me this time.”
“You all stay in the Chaos Divine City and do not go.”
The women understood Tan Yun's meaning; in the face of the ultimate battle, having more people on their side does not guarantee victory.
For instance, if the five hundred billion troops followed along, and if he, Rou'er, and Yuyan were detained by the enemy's top powerhouses, the five hundred billion troops would surely be slaughtered by the alliance of the Heavenly Demon Commander and the enemy forces!
At the same time, the women were aware that Tan Yun’s decision to keep them behind stemmed from the fear that if he were not a match for the enemies, and he were captured, even if they hid in the Divine Tower in Tan Yun's ear, they would still be caught!
Nangong Yuqin shook her head, her red lips parting as she spoke firmly, “Husband, I understand your intention. I do not wish to say much, but I will tell you this: if you encounter misfortune in this battle, I, Nangong Yuqin, will never live on alone.”
“So I will follow you; do not stop me.”
Upon hearing this, as Tan Yun was about to speak, Si Hong Shiyao took a step forward and said, “What Sister Yuqin means is what I mean as well; I want to go too.”
“We will go as well!” Tang Mengyi, Tang Xinying, Gongsun Ruoxi, and Dantai Xian'er spoke in unison.
“Although we are not yet married, I, Feng Qingcheng, am yours in life and in death; I will go too.” Feng Qingcheng's gaze was resolute.
“I will go as well.” Ouyang Qianqian and Dongfang Yushu chimed in, their melodious voices carrying an unyielding tone that left no room for Tan Yun to argue.
“I can agree to anything you ask of me!” Tan Yun said solemnly, “But I cannot agree to this! If I truly meet misfortune, I...”
Before Tan Yun could finish, Tang Mengyi, for the first time, seriously interrupted him, saying, “Husband, we sisters have followed you for so many years and have never asked you for anything.”
“Now we only ask for this one time, and we hope you respect our decision.”
Hearing this, Tan Yun clenched his fists and shook his head, “To speak frankly, I am not confident I can defeat the enemies. If you follow me, I fear…”
“There is nothing to worry about.” Ouyang Qianqian interrupted, “Tan Yun, you are my fiancé, and you must respect our decision.”
“You cannot deprive us sisters of our right to choose; even if we die, we want to die together with you!”
The other women nodded in agreement as well.
Looking into the determined eyes of his wives and fiancées, a warm current surged within Tan Yun's heart.
He fell silent!
After a long while, Tan Yun took a deep breath and said, “I agree that you can go, but without my permission, you are not allowed to leave the supreme divine sovereign time-space divine tower.”
“Okay, we promise you.” The women smiled in response.
“Yingying, you should not go.” Tan Yun looked at Tuoba Yingying.
“Brother, I…” Tuoba Yingying began, but upon seeing Tan Yun's resolute gaze, she nodded and said, “Okay, I won’t go. I firmly believe that you and the sisters will definitely defeat the enemies and return safely.”
