218 Beast Stampede (1/2)

It was a yearly routine before Beast Stampede that the villagers would move to the city to seek shelter. From the usual date, the Beast Stampede would attack the city a month later.

However, last night's attack alarmed the villagers and so they decided to move now. They did not want another beast horde to attack the village. As for Chief Rick, he was standing anxiously west gate, waiting for his daughter.

Last night, he told her daughter where Tang was. But the girl did not come back until morning. He checked Elin's house, but the house was empty.

As he walked back and forth, he finally noticed a group of four headed toward the village. The old man was surprised to see Liang Suyin within the group, but the surprise turned into a smile when he noticed his daughter's happiness.

Delia's face was brimming with happiness, she could not hide her smile as she walked toward the village. The old man then noticed a change of aura around her daughter. Some of her naivety was gone, he could see that from a single quick glance.

The old man then glanced at the red-haired beauty. She was more reserved, but her face flashed in healthy red. Even though she kept her silence, the girl kept glancing at the man.

As for Elin, he could see a genuine smile on her face. It was not the usual fake smile she had. The three women were following a single man. Chief Rick immediately approached and greeted Tang, ”Welcome back~ you seem to have a good night, young hero~”

”Yes! Crazy and adventurous night indeed. It was a truly amazing night,” Tang Shaoyang kept emphasizing that the night was great, causing the old man's smile to get wider.

”So how is it? Did he accept you?” The old man asked his daughter. Having five to ten wives was common in this world. The old man himself had six wives with the youngest being in her early thirties. He did not mind if his daughter shared her husband with another woman, especially if one of them was Elin. Both could fight together if they were bullied by the other wives.

”I have become his sword maid~” the girl enthusiastically informed her father. Chief Rick went through a big change in expression when he heard his daughter had become a sword maid.

The old man did not care if Tang was Platinum or even a higher rank adventurer. He could not accept that his daughter had become some else's sword maid. It was known that sword maid was a slave, just another term or pleasant to the ears term for a slave.

”Cancel the bond immediately!” The old man stood in front of Tang, he raised his voice as his eyes turned colder, ”I don't care how strong you are, but you better cancel the bond immediately!”

”Calm down, father. He did not force me to bond, I voluntarily asked him to,” Delia immediately came forward and explained. However, her explanation only caused her father to get even more confused, ”But why?”

”The bond is necessary if she wants to follow me. We have to get bonded so he could follow me,” Tang Shaoyang pulled Delia back, ”Did you remember when I said you would not be able to see her again if she followed me?”

Rick thought of it, and he remembered Tang said so last night. He took that lightly, but it seemed the bond related to that, ”So what?” He demanded an explanation.

”We need to get bonded so I can bring her with me to my place. Also, you don't need to worry about your daughter. I will not mistreat her, especially my women, she would never get mistreated if she followed,” he tapped the old man's shoulder.

”Yes, you don't need to worry, Father. Sister Elin also formed a sword maid bond,” the girl explained with a smile. Old man Rick glanced toward the mature lady, the latter nodded her head to confirm his daughter's words.

”Where's that your place?” For now, the old man decided to trust the man and asked. He never heard of such a place even after years of adventure.

”I can't tell you, and even if I can tell you, you may never hear the place either. What I can tell you is, trust me!” Tang Shaoyang deepened his voice and looked into the old man's eyes earnestly.

”Hah…” the old man let out a sigh. His heart wanted to believe the man, but his rational thought kept doubting the man after he heard about the bond.
