"He did all that... For his little brother?"Questioned Xu Xiaoyan in disbelief with her body trembling.
It wasn't just her, but the others were also in disbelief. Mu Xi was staring down at the ground in shock not knowing what to say.
Ye Xinglan was furrowing her brow, but her hands were clenched while Wu Siduo's figure was trembling.
Not knowing what to say, as the story she heard was kinda unbelievable.
"It's amazing, isn't it? He began researching the secret of life, death, and magic just so he can bring his little brother back. But ultimately, receive a curse that leads to him killing everyone and being forced to isolate himself."
"He could never love another, as that would make the curse act up and kill them. So, he was forced to be alone for the next four hundred years, trying to find a way to kill himself."
"Yet the funny thing and the one that was almost unbelievable." Said Tang Wulin as he continued admiring the sunset.
With Zeref next to him who was continuing to sit down and not saying anything.
"Even with all that has happened to him... He would still do it all over again, just for his little brother."
"And I completely agree with him." Said Tang Wulin causing all of the girl's eyes to widen.
"If something was to happen to any of you... I will do anything to bring you back, even if it meant making everything in existence my enemy."Said Tang Wulin as his eyes that were shining began to narrow.
"And I will crush them."
Zeref's figure trembled as he began biting his lips but still not saying anything. But words were unneeded as he could feel Tang Wulin conviction, his emotion, and confidence in his words.
If you try to stop me? I will crush you!
If you try to be an obstacle? I will stomp you down!
If it's considered impossible? I will make it possible!
So what if the whole world became his enemy? So what if the whole Galaxy did? So what if the whole universe did? He will still do anything to bring them back, even if it meant crushing them all!
'How many people called me foolish? How many people looked down on me for not respecting the laws of life and death? Acnologia... Thank you.'
The girls were silent, but nothing could hide the scarlet hue on their faces as they tried looking away from Tang Wulin.
'You stupid idiot! Why would we want you to suffer like that! But damn it, we would do the same for you!'
The girls couldn't say anything as they too felt the words of Tang Wulin weren't wrong.
Could they live without him? Impossible!
They refuse to even think about such a thought!
"... Don't worry, we won't die. I... No, we refuse to make you suffer like that."Said Wu Siduo with a faint smile causing Tang Wulin to slightly tremble.
"Yes... Wulin, no matter we will not fall. So don't worry about us. We aren't so weak that you will have to worry."Said Ye Xinglan, causing Xu Xiaoyan to giggle and Mu Xi to smile.
"I know... I have always believed in you guys to be able to take care of yourself."Said Tang Wulin as a faint smile was on his face.
Mu Xi and Xu Xiaoyan glance at each other before sighing.
"If we're telling stories, I guess now is as good as any." Said Mu Xi with Xu Xiaoyan nodding her head.
Mu Xi began telling everyone in the Ferris wheel about the world they were sent to by Gremory.
With Xu Xiaoyan adding in her world version, saying what happened and what they both saw. It wasn't long before the story came to an end, with the ride going silent for a bit.
"You had a dream where I only loved you?" Questioned Tang Wulin as he broke the silence.
"Yes… Sorry-"
"Don't be… As I said before, my request to have all of you is selfish in itself. While also being unfair to your feelings. In a way, I always knew that deep down, you or maybe all of you… Simply wanted to just have me and not share with anyone else."Said Tang Wulin softly as he stared out the window.
The girls behind him expression began to change, Mu Xi and Xu Xiaoyan's eyes slightly turning sullen.
Even Ye Xinglan and Wu Siduo looked down as it would be a lie to say they didn't want just Tang Wulin to themselves.
"Mom said she was surprised that you all agreed and told me I should cherish dearly the fact that you all did. Not a lot of people would and even less would be able to manage such a relationship with no hidden hostility."
"Still… I don't regret being selfish at that time. Even if I was dragged back in time or had to make this choice all over again, I would choose the same and agree with my past self. Simply… Because I am that selfish man who fell in love with all six of you and doesn't want to choose one."
"I refused to lie to myself; I simply want to live using my fullest emotion… And that is loving you all."
Acnologia or Tang Wulin, regardless of his names, represents the being known as the Dragon Apocalypse past and present.
He had lived for far too long, seen the world aged and changed. Watch civilization change, interact with many, and kill countlessly.
He saw people loved, saw them betray, saw them steal and the list goes on. Through all of this he had learned life was tiring and a struggle, yet it had its inherent beauty in it.
In this life, he didn't want to lose anything, nor did he want to give up on anything.
Could he be called selfish for not wanting to give up anything? Definitely! Did he care? Not one bit, as this was the way he wanted to live his life.
"I am not the best boyfriend… I don't like being romantic nor do I like showing my care so openly. But you guys are six irreplaceable people, that was able to form a home in my cold heart."
"Wulin…" Muttered Xu Xiaoyan with her eyes slightly widened.
"Thank... Thank you all, for accepting my selfish love… But it is a love, that I will never regret now and forever."
"... Why can't you be this sweet all the time." Mu Xi pouted as she felt her heart beating rapidly, as a wave of warmth rang through.
"Not my style."
"I know… We already accepted and knew what we were getting into. Still, it was nice to hear your honest feelings again."Said Mu Xi with a giggle before moving forward and wrapping her arms around Tang Wulin.
"The only man I love in this life is the one before me. A selfish, annoying, stoic, battle lust, and… A loving man."Said Mu Xi as her eyes soften.
Wu Siduo and Ye Xinglan glance at each other before laughing with a shake of their head.
"Hehehe, I agree." Said Xu Xiaoyan with a faint smile as she stopped kicking her leg.
"I only have one prince, and he is the worst one in history." Said Xu Xiaoyan with a laugh causing Tang Wulin to raise a brow.
"Since when was I a prince."
"Your right, you aren't a prince but my King… From the moment I said I loved you, till the end of time. You will forever be my King and me your queen."Said Xu Xiaoyan with her eyes softening.
Tang Wulin let out a smile, but he only nodded his head.
Ye Xinglan got off from the coach, moving to Tang Wulin before wrapping her arms around him as well.
Yet her eyes were glued on Tang Wulin, a myriad of emotions flashing through them.
But the most prominent was one of love.
"In my life, only two things could move my heart. Swords and being a soul master, with me devoting most of my life into these whiles taking care of Luzhi."
"Yet your love for me, silent but strong was able to capture my heart. My heart was supposed to be unshakeable and unmovable. I love you, now and forever."Said Ye Xinglan with a gentle smile causing Tang Wulin eyes to shine.
Before he then glances back, just as Wu Siduo was smiling, their eyes catching each other.
She didn't say anything and Tang Wulin didn't need to hear anything.
Out of everyone they knew, Wu Siduo and Tang Wulin for some reason didn't need words to communicate their feelings with each other.
Just the emotions that flashed through the other eyes were enough. It was simple and silent, yet effective as both felt a warmth in their hearts.
Tang Wulin eyes move across all of them, his eyes catching all their emotions and feelings.
Even without his Life Goddess Bloodline, he could feel their love for him, that wasn't any weaker than his for them. He realized or maybe he did long before, that even they didn't regret this type of love.
While they may have wanted a different type of one, they were content with this one as well.
"... My lovers."Muttered Tang Wulin as he felt a pleasant warmth in his chest as well as his blood burning.
When was the last time he called someone his lovers? It was never because this was the first time he felt such a connection and love.
"Let's go." Said Tang Wulin as he got up from the chair with them letting go and snapping his hand.
This caused all of their figures to give off a light before they all vanished from the Ferris wheel.
"... What do you plan to do... You fiend."Muttered Mu Xi as her face turned red when she found themselves in a room.
"Nothing much... Just you all." Said Tang Wulin as he captured Mu Xi's lips, pulling her close.
His hands moved down, tracing over her curves as he deepened the passionate kiss with Mu Xi as he held her. He felt Mu Xi quivering in his arms, but she didn't push him away and also began to deepen the kiss.
While his other hand began dragging Xu Xiaoyan closer to them, moving from Mu Xi to her. Capturing her lips, with Xu Xiaoyan wrapping her arms around his neck, they began deepening their kiss.
"Hahaha, what's more, to say." Said Ye Xinglan with a faint smile as she moved, pulling Tang Wulin from them.
And into her, before she captured his lips and brought him down to the bed with her leg wrapping around him. Yet not before Tang Wulin pulled Mu Xi and Xu Xiaoyan with them.
While teleporting Wu Siduo down next to Ye Xinglan. Tang Wulin's eyes narrowed once before he moved down while snapping his finger.
The room began to twist before it was locked down.
In the next moment, a series of things scattered around the area as a seven-colored light rang through the room.
As the room was filled with passionate tenderness and love.

"What's wrong?" Questioned Yue Zhengyu with a faint smile as he gazed at Dai Yun'er as the night came out.
"Why do you keep staring at me..."Muttered Dai Yun'er a red hue on her face as she slightly turned her head.
But her eyes kept on glancing at Yue Zhengyu whose eyes were still on her.
"I can't stare?"
"But what about your 'fans'?" Questioned Dai Yun'er as she glanced to the side, countless spectators were staring at them.
It did slightly irk her most of them were girls than guys although she tried not showing it.
Yue Zhengyu only chuckled as he cupped Dai Yun'er's face before bringing her to him.
"I rather stare at you though, the most decorative art in my eyes." Said Yue Zhengyu caused the rosy blush on Dai Yun'er to increase.
"Do... Do you even mean that!"
"Naturally, it's why my eyes won't leave you." Muttered Yue Zhengyu as his eyes soften.
Dai Yun'er didn't push him away, as her eyes stayed on his but then she noted him leaning closer to her.
"What are you doing..."
"I don't want to imagine anymore... I want you."
"What are you even talking about... Hey, are you really about to do what I think-"
"Then stop me..." Said Yue Zhengyu softly as his arm brought Dai Yun'er into his hold while his head continued moving down.
"Will you take responsibility..."
"Always." Said Yue Zhengyu before his lips captured Dai Yun'er's own with her harm wrapping around his neck.
It was only after a bit that they parted but Dai Yun'er remained in Yue Zhengyu arms and he didn't mind.
As he wouldn't have let her go anyway, not now and not ever.
"Mmm, I want to continue this other than enjoying the festival."
"Of course you would... Give me a good time and maybe we will enjoy this a bit more."Said Dai Yun'er with a sly smile as she softly pushes Yue Zhengyu.
Who was shocked at the words of Dai Yun'er, but she didn't mind as she began walking while giving him a wink.
"Are you coming?"
"Coming!" Yue Zhengyu felt his heart speed up as his blood surged with vigor before he ran after Dai Yun'er.
