Dragon King of Apocalypse

Chapter 100: Perfect

A week went by with Tang Wulin continuing his daily routine of helping with the creation of the technology for Tenrou. Then he in the night he would practice either his Devil Slayer or Annihilation.

Today Tang Wulin and Na'er were outside looking at the building that was being built a hundred meters away from the town. This building was one of the things he had the workers that came with Mu Ye and Body Sect workers start building.

He theorizes it would take the building about a week or two to finish building. Which should be enough time to get the recruits ready. While he was staring at the construction of the building, a disciple of the Body Sect came running over to him.

"Sect heir, a ship is approaching the shore of Ishgar." Said the young man behind Tang Wulin and Na'er.

"Everyone is here." Said Na'er as her eyes lit up.

Before she had that long talk with everyone during the return of Tang Wulin, it wouldn't be wrong to say she barely knew anyone but Gu Yue. While they did hang out during the year and a half her big brother went missing, there was something that held them back.

It wasn't until Tang Wulin bluntly said it out loud, that everyone had to acknowledge the fact that they never tried to be open with each other. Na'er couldn't wait to talk to Xu Xiaoyan and Mu Xi, as they were the easiest people to get along with.

"Go call Gu Yue for me." Said Tang Wulin causing the man to nod his head.

Tang Wulin then turned his head to Na'er who was smiling and humming to herself. He began to recall all of the memories of his time with her and slowly began to rub her head.

Na'er body trembles as a small smile sprouted on her face as she felt her brother rubbing her head. Nothing was needed to be said as the act of him rubbing her head, was enough to convey his feelings toward her and bringing a sense of peace.

This peace was broken when they began to hear countless footsteps coming toward them. Both of them turned their head to see Gu Yue and behind her was most of their friends.

"Where are Xie Xie and the other guys? Also, Yuanen isn't with you all." Said Tang Wulin.

"Xie Xie and Yue Zhengyu had to help organize the disciples on the ship. While Xu Lizhi and Yuanen Yehui went to help the people, unload the stuff on the ship. We went on ahead of them to tell you that we were here after we didn't see you at the shore." Said Mu Xi with a glare.

Na'er only giggles while Tang Wulin hummed as he glances at each of the girls standing in front of him and then back to Na'er.

"What's wrong?" Question Gu Yue.

It wasn't just her but everyone there could tell something was different about Tang Wulin at the moment as he glances at each of them.

"Nothing much, just thinking there is no point in putting this off. I know you all like me or at least have feelings for me." Said Tang Wulin causing all of the girl's eyes to widen.

"Wulin."

"Ho-"

"Before you guys talk, let me finish." Said Tang Wulin causing them to fall silent.

"I notice these signs at first with Xu Xiaoyan years ago and then with everyone else. But that's unimportant right now, as I'm sure you all want to know. How do I feel about it, and who do I like." Said Tang Wulin.

All of the girls began focusing on Tang Wulin and his following words. They all would be lying if they said they weren't dying to know what girl in their group could have stolen Tang Wulin heart.

"I like you all." Said Tang Wulin undoubtedly causing all of the girls to freeze.

Then as if a dam erupted, they started to speak.

"What do you mean you like all of us?"

"Are you talking about as a friend?"

"Please take our feelings seriously here!"

More and more words were being said, yet Tang Wulin merely raised a hand.

"I like you all not as a friend but something more. It took me a while to sort out these feelings and what they essentially meant." Said Tang Wulin.

He recalled his conversation with his dad Tang Ziran about his love for his mom, Zeref and his talk about his love with Mavis that spanned for over decades. Then his mother who gave him advice on what to do with these feelings and how to convey them.

As Tang Wulin stared at the girls in front of him who each had varied expression, he began to recall the words of Zeref.

'No one likes to share, especially the person they dearly love. So you must be prepared for the consequences and rejection from some of them or maybe all of them. That being said, it doesn't mean you should give up without seeing what will happen.'

'After all, Mavis was able to still love an idiot like me for over a decade. Even after all of the things, I have done and the pain I have caused her. So who knows, it might just work out.'

He truly did not understand the feelings inside of him, but he at least know, he cared for them very differently from everyone else.

'Acnologia you don't need to be extra with them or do anything extraordinary. Just tell them your most honest feelings.'

'My little Tang Tang. We girls really don't want much when it comes to a confession but the other person genuine feelings.'

'My little taotie if you love a person. Then just simply say, you love them. After all, the simplest words can undoubtedly mean the most.'

"...I...Love all of you." Said Tang Wulin as a faint smile appeared.

It was a simple faint smile.

And yet.

It was so pure and honest.

The girls all become stunned as they now understand he was not kidding. He was not being nice or kind with him saying he likes all of them. No, what Tang Wulin was telling them was his sincere feeling on what he felt.

The girls stared at Tang Wulin, without any of them saying anything or even their face changing. Then Na'er walks up to her big brother and places her hand on his face.

"...Wulin, I remember when I left you to go back to my clan. I hated it, hated the fact and knowledge that I was apart from you, it was a feeling I didn't understand that well. Then we met each other again, and I felt so happy from just being able to see you. Then when you left us, I felt so broken and the pain inside of my chest wouldn't stop hurting no matter what I did." Said Na'er to Tang Wulin softly causing all of the other girl's body to tremble.

"Big brother I realized back then, that no matter what happens now or in the future. I never want to be apart from you because I love you. To me, you are my everything and nothing will stop me from being with you for an eternity." Said Na'er as she gently laid her head in Tang Wulin chest.

Then Gu Yue walks up to her expression being indifferent and yet he could tell something was different in her eyes.

"It was so hard, so very hard to not fall in love with you as I felt it would only lead to heartbreak and a broken relationship. I knew what we were destined for since the day we met but I couldn't stop myself from trying to get to know you. The time we spent together even with your indifference was something I felt my heart cherishing." Said Gu Yue as her eyes closed.

'Then you foolishly said you would help carry my burden, support me and be there for me. I didn't say it at the time, but I was truly happy I had someone willing to do that for me.'

"I don't understand these things I'm feeling that well but I at least know I don't want to lose you." Said Gu Yue with her expression becoming soft and pinching his sleeves with her head lowering.

Xu Xiaoyan and Mu Xi both step forward toward Tang Wulin.

"You're an idiot you know. To think you would fall for all of us? I'm not sure if that should be taken as a compliment or something else. This is unfair you know that? It's unfair that I have to share you with others, even if they are my friends and yet. The thought of losing you destroys all my hesitation and thoughts of rejection." Said Mu Xi as her eyes lower for a few seconds but then a smile sprouted from her face.

"Still, I love you, and that is something that can not be changed. I don't want to live with any regrets and so I refuse to be with anyone but you in this life." Said Mu Xi causing Xu Xiaoyan to giggle.

"Wulin, you sure are a playboy, trying to get all of us to go out with you. But that doesn't matter as I love you Wulin, I love you with all my heart. I love you ever since that festival we went to and how you began to capture my heart." Said Xu Xiaoyan as she leisurely walks towards Tang Wulin and rested her hands on his face.

"No matter what happens now, I will be there by your side. My dearest Dragon King." Said Xu Xiaoyan causing Mu Xi to only sigh but still smile.

Ye Xinglan and Wu Siduo both stared at Tang Wulin.

"So you love us all huh?" Said Ye Xinglan as she glances thoughtfully at all of the girls around her and then back to Tang Wulin.

"Just like they said, I want to be together with you because I love you." Said Ye Xinglan.

"That's it? Nothing else." Said Mu Xi with a raised brow but Ye Xinglan only shook her head with a small laugh.

"What more should be said? I love him because I love him. No need to make things complicated as I have always followed my heart and it's telling me to accept all of him." Said Ye Xinglan causing the girls to turn silent.

"Wulin, I love you. You were the first to ever dominate me like that and the first goal that I couldn't seem to overcome. I didn't know how or when it happened but I felt myself being pulled to you more and more. As Xinglan said, I don't care for anything else but what my heart wants and that is you." Said Wu Siduo with a small smile.

Then both girls went to Tang Wulin who said nothing throughout their talk and just listened. All of the girls surrounding Tang Wulin each had their unique reason for loving him and same as him who also has a different reason for undoubtedly falling for them.

"Still for this to work, you have to compromise with us." Said Mu Xi causing Tang Wulin to raise a brow.

"You have to show more of your gentle side to us. We don't always want to be the one to start the show of affection. Anywhere you go, at least take one of us with you and above all, always returned back to us." Said Mu Xi causing most of the girls to nod their head.

"Don't get your hopes up for those." Said Tang Wulin causing Mu Xi lips to twitch.

"But...I can at least promise I will be there and always return." Said Tang Wulin causing them all to smile.

"Another thing, don't try to keep everything to yourself. If you're hurting then tells us, if you're sad then tell us and if something wrong please tell us. We promise we will do the same for you. This is a partnership now, all seven us will have to be honest and trust each other fully." Said Xu Xiaoyan with a faint smile.

"...Your right, we should all trust each other."Mutter Na'er. Xu Xiaoyan words unbeknownst to her hit both Na'er and Gu Yue deep within their hearts, as they know they haven't been truthful.

Tang Wulin sent a subtly glance to both of them but gave his answer.

"I will try at least."

"You don't have to rush. After all, we don't expect you to change instantly, as it too will take time for us to get used to this relationship. But let's see where this goes." Said Mu Xi with a tender look and warmth.

The other girls had smiles on their face as if to signify they also agreed.

"Since we all agreed and we all accept each other love." Said Ye Xinglan as she nodded her head and walk up to Tang Wulin. Then place her hand on his face before adequately capturing his lips. It only lasted for three seconds but to both Tang Wulin and Ye Xinglan who had no experience, it felt like an eternity.

"...Wow." Said Ye Xinglan as a scarlet hue appeared on her face.

"Really." Said Mu Xi as her and the others gave Ye Xinglan a deadpan look.

"No point in delaying it." Said Ye Xinglan with a slight smile. Na'er glared at Ye Xinglan and with swift movement went up to Tang Wulin to promptly capture his lips with hers. Tang Wulin noted Na'er lips were softer than Ye Xinglan.

After they had parted, Na'er had a beaming smile on her face while Tang Wulin could only sigh at the antics of both girls. Rolling his eyes, he then began to leave the place and confusing the girls immensely.

"We have to get back, I had more than one reason to ask you guys to gather." Said Tang Wulin as he still needed to get his other plans moving.

"My little Tang Tang, there you are." Lang Yue voice rang out.

Tang Wulin looked at his mom who was walking leisurely toward with him with a huge smile. Lang Yue glance at each of the girls and then at her dear son.

"Give us a second to talk ok? You and Na'er should go to help the guys." Said Lang Yue with a faint smile, confusing Tang Wulin and Na'er but they both nodded their head.

Once Lang Yue was sure her two adorable kids left the area, she turned back to the lovely girls with a smile that was sending shivers up their spines.

"So, you all said your love for each other and accepted each other." Said Lang Yue causing the girl's eyes to widen.

"Ho-"

"Mother intuition." Said Lang Yue with a smile causing their lips to twitch and eyes to look at her in disbelief.

"While I trust you all to be able to make this relationship work and try to not hurt each other." Said Lang Yue with a gentle voice that causes the girls around her to feel something was wrong.

"But just in case, if you hurt my little Tang Tang. Not even the gods can save you from my wrath." Said Lang Yue as her eyes and expression became deadly serious.

"Understand?"

All of the girls gulped and nodded their head at the ominous aura Lang Yue was giving off.

"Great! I leave my Tang Tang to you all. Please take care of him and never stop showing him, how much you all love him." Said Lang Yue with a sincere smile.

"Of course!"

Lang Yue watches as the girls went on their way but she didn't follow them and moved her gaze to the sky deep in thought. She didn't say anything to Na'er because she knew the little girl still felt the guilt of leaving their family and she knew better.

"Now, I wonder why misses scary mother-in-law is sighing." A voice rang out causing Lang Yue to laugh.

"Oh shut up you." Said Lang Yue as she felt two strong arms wrap around her waist and a chin resting on her head.

"You know I don't like it when you do that, it makes me feel small." Tang Ziran chuckles as his beloved wife began to pout.

"Are you ok?"Questioned Tang Ziran causing Lang Yue to let out a bitter smile.

"I should be happy right? Wulin gaining a girlfriend or girlfriend means he is growing up and that he will be able to experience the other amazing feeling of love. So it should be a joyous event."

"Yet." Said Tang Ziran causing tears to form in Lang Yue's eyes.

"He isn't like other people. Our Tang Tang barely allows anyone in and now he is getting into a relationship that is something far deeper than friends. I don't know what I would do if my little Tang Tang got hurt, I fear it could break him." Tang Ziran could feel the tears on his wife streaming down her face but said nothing.

"I know they are good girls and wouldn't do anything intentionally to hurt him. But he is still my baby boy. I don't want him to grow up and don't want to give him to another woman. I know I'm being selfish, but it hurts to see him go. I miss when it was only us four together." Said Lang Yue as she turned around and hid her face in Tang Ziran chest.

Tang Ziran still said nothing as he began rubbing Lang Yue head. He understands Tang Tang was the most important thing to Lang Yue, even more, important than her life. He recalls when he was talking to their son back at Star Luo continent.

'I have always been thankful for everything you guys have done for me.'

'And for always loving me.'

A smile sprouted from his lips but he still said nothing as he held the women of his dream and life.

"No more tears."

"He will be alright."

"After all, he is our son."

"Our son, who we raised with all of our love."
