Four days since they entered the portal, so the others needed to survive for three days before they could return from the game, but of course, three days on Earth more likely thirty days on the other side.
Tang Shaoyang had been experimenting with the existing portal. He and his original team tried to enter the portal once again, hoping to get the real reward but the portal did not allow them to. The notification said they had finished the objective so they could not enter the portal. In other words, once the objective was achieved they could not re-enter the portal even if the portal was still there.
Another was that the people he brought from Arkania Continent were not considered as the player. Meaning they could not join them to finish the game. Kairu, Wen, and the others could not be brought to the sixth portal with him.
However, even though they were considered as a player, they could open the status screen. This was not something new for Arina and the others, but this was something new for Wen and Kairu.
But there was a big difference in the status screen they had in Arkania Continent and the one on Earth. The status screen was more detailed as it showed the attributes too while the one in Arkania Continent only showed level and class.
Aside from that, they should be fine. Wen had returned to his peak while Kairu was bored to death since he had nothing to do.
As for Tang Shaoyang, he encountered trouble, the fierce mother-in-law. After Mu Liqiu came to know that Liang Suyin and the other four girls were his women, she smashed his door in the knight.
"You… You… You…" the old lady kept saying "you" while pointing her finger at Tang Shaoyang. She wanted to curse Tang Shaoyang but soon she was aware that he was not in the position to scold or even curse the man in front of her.
When she was about to curse the man, her brain automatically played the scene where Tang Shaoyang had cruelly killed the Flame Castle's people.
Fear and anger were mixed together, but the old lady just could not bear to bring out her anger because of fear that her family would be implicated.
"Yes?" Tang Shaoyang responded with fake confusion even though he knew why the old lady came for him, "Do you need something with me?"
They were standing in front of the door, and Mu Liqiu kept peeking inside the house, "Do you want to enter?" Tang Shaoyang actually did not know how to face this angry mother-in-law.
Meanwhile, Huo Hongmei was whispering to his mother-in-law, telling her to leave with her. However, the old lady seemed to accept the challenge as he entered the house.
"Have you eaten dinner yet?" Because of their bad relationship in the first meeting, he was a bit awkward to talk with the old lady, "We have a good steak from another world, do you want to try?"
Mu Liqiu did not respond to his words as she followed him wordlessly. Huo Hongmei was forced to follow her mother-in-law inside. She could not just leave her mother-in-law with the most dangerous man.
Soon, they arrived in the dining room. Elin and Delia were serving the dinner, placing the steak on the table.
"Who are they?" Mu Liqiu pointed at the two beauties which immediately attracted the two women's attention.
"She is Elinova," Tang Shaoyang pointed at the matured purple-haired girl before he pointed at the younger beauty, "She is Delia, they come from Arkania Continent."
"That's not what I want to know! Who are they to you?" Unable to hold her emotion, Mu Liqiu raised her voice as she questioned Tang Shaoyang.
"My women!" Tang Shaoyang's reply was instant, he did not try to make an excuse or anything. He could say they were slaves to cover up, but he faced this fact calmly. He had to face this angry mother-in-law sooner or later anyway.
"Then what about my daughter?" The old lady's eyes became fierce.
"My woman too!" It was another instant reply.
Mu Liqiu seemed not expecting the shameless answer. Her eyes went wide in shock but at this moment, laughter could be heard from the kitchen direction. The old lady turned toward the laughter direction and saw three more women.
With her eyes wide open in anger, she slowly turned toward Tang Shaoyang, "Don't tell me they are also your women?" Her chest heaved up and down as she pointed her finger at the three, Liang Suyin, Arina, and Selena.
"Yes, they are!" Tang Shaoyang nodded in response, "They are also my women."
Mu Liqiu's hand flew toward his cheek. Tang Shaoyang saw the incoming slap, and he could easily catch her arm to stop the slap or even avoid the slap. It was so clear because of his high Sense, but Tang Shaoyang let the slap hit his cheek.
The reason was to let the old lady vent her anger and frustration. It was not like it would hurt him. But of course, he would stop the slap if this was in the public. He was the leader of many heads, he could not let Mu Liqiu slap him in front of his people.
Pyak!
"Haaaaa!" Mu Liqiu screamed in pain as her palm turned red.
'Oh, shoot. I forget that my vitality is thousands now,' Tang Shaoyang immediately realized that he should dodge or stop the slap. Mu Liqiu's Strength and Vitality should be less than fifty, of course, the slap would hurt her more than him.
"You! You are bullying this old lady!" Mu Liqiu unreasonably blamed Tang Shaoyang even though it was her who slapped him.
"I did nothing though…" He muttered in a low voice, but that only angered the old lady even more, "Do you dare talk back? I don't care who you are and how powerful you are, I want you to leave my daughter alone. She deserves a better man than a womanizer like you!"
Anger had overcome her fear, the old lady dared to confront Tang Shaoyang strongly after seeing the five women.
At the old lady's scolding, Tang Shaoyang grinned back, "I am afraid that's not up to you to decide. The decision is still in your daughter's hand, and even if she wants to leave me, I will not allow that to happen!"
"Y-you…" Mu Liqiu stuttered from the anger. She could not imagine that a shameless man such as Tang Shaoyang existed. However, just like Tang Shaoyang said, she had no power to enforce her words on him.
As soon as she was aware that she had no power to protect her daughter, Mu Liqiu turned around and stormed out of the house. Huo Hongmei followed her mother-in-law wordlessly.
After the duo left the house, Tang Shaoyang let out a relieved sigh. Arina and Selena immediately put the bread they just baked from the kitchen on the table. They then walked toward Tang Shaoyang, "Are you okay?" They were ready to use their healing skill.
Tang Shaoyang rolled his eyes at the two, "If she could hurt me, then I will not be here with you guys." He pulled the girls to the table, "Let's eat, I am hungry."
