The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

"I know Jin Jin will give you the Strength Pendant, but he doesn't understand how to use it. This is the source of its power; you need to place the pendant over a water source first."

Wen Guifu had already seen through everything. What Strength Pendant? Such items are all that Wen Jinjin has, and she's sure to offer it to Tang Rao; as true as thunder cannot drive it away.

"So, Great Grandpa already knew."

Tang Rao felt terribly awkward. He had promised to keep it a secret from Great Grandpa, but it turns out Wen Guifu already knew everything.

"Do you think your Great Grandpa hasn't dated before? When I was dating, I was just like you. Don't be shy, no need to feel embarrassed."

If Wen Guifu was unaware of what kind of person Wen Jinjin is, then he'd have lived these tens of thousands of years in vain.

Tang Rao took the Strength Pendant given by Wen Jinjin and handed it to Wen Guifu. "Great Grandpa, Jin Jin said not to tell you, so I didn't. It wasn't my intention to keep it from you."

Tang Rao was afraid Wen Guifu might have an opinion about him, thinking he must first explain clearly to him.

"Tang Rao, why Jin Jin gave this to you, Great Grandpa truly doesn't know, but you and us are family now. No matter who gives it to you, it's not an issue."

When he initially thought to say this, Wen Guifu was actually reluctant.

"The Strength Pendant contains all of Jin Jin's power. Taking the pendant means that if Jin Jin encounters difficulties in the future, she wouldn't even have the ability to fight back—she'd become just an ordinary person."

Having given away the Strength Pendant, Wen Guifu was confident that he would absolutely not leave Wen Jinjin's side, and if anything happened to her, he'd be more anxious than anyone else.

"Grandpa, can I return the Strength Pendant to Jin Jin? I'm genuinely worried like how you mentioned."

"Have you thought about how Jin Jin would feel if you returned it?"

Wen Guifu's words hit the mark—indeed, Tang Rao hadn't considered how Wen Jinjin would feel.

She wholeheartedly wanted Tang Rao to be safe, while Tang Rao didn't want to appreciate her intentions.

"Keep it; see it as Jin Jin's heartfelt intention. As long as I'm here, Jin Jin will be okay."

This was a promise from Wen Guifu to Tang Rao.

"Alright, in this life, I won't let Jin Jin down."

Tang Rao said this from the heart.

Not letting her down is the best way to thank Wen Jinjin.

Wen Guifu placed Wen Jinjin's Strength Pendant into the source water, the fountain was clear, just like Wen Jinjin herself—no matter how many times you look, it always seems clean as if untouched by dust.

Such water and such people are rare; Tang Rao remarked, watching as the pendant in the fountain turned pink before Wen Guifu took it back.

"Take it; the pendant will recognize its owner. When you want to use it, recite the spell silently in your heart, and it will have miraculous effects."

Wen Guifu paved all the paths for Tang Rao, and if Tang Rao couldn't clear the final hurdle, he'd definitely laugh at Tang Rao's carelessness.

This was Tang Rao's biggest concern.

Wen Guifu had discussed a lot with Tang Rao in the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, and eventually, Tang Rao realized Wen Guifu's true power—this seemingly insignificant Clan Leader in the Ice Clan was actually a figure stepping into innate.

"How did it go? Did Great Grandpa make things difficult for you?"

Wen Jinjin was sweating outside while waiting for Tang Rao, and when Tang Rao finally emerged, he didn't even want to speak.

"No difficulty at all, Great Grandpa gave me plenty of good things. Would you like me to share some now?"

Tang Rao had many good items with him; telling a harmless lie in front of Wen Jinjin was something that could be forgiven.

"You just keep them. I have everything from the Ice Clan. I initially planned to leave my things for you, but it turns out Great Grandpa gave you his first, so I'll save mine for you."

Such generosity, such a wealthy person—Tang Rao found Wen Jinjin, this little wealth, and was so moved that he hadn't planned to take advantage of her wealth.

"My two brothers, do you have a way to boost their strength as soon as possible?"

Tang Rao couldn't just think about himself; he must at least enhance the strength of Li Ze and Lao Hezi as well. After all, they've been through life and death with him—you can't just focus on yourself and disregard others.

"I can do it, but the secret technique for quickly boosting strength does harm the body to a certain extent. Are you sure you want to help them improve?"

Wen Jinjin didn't need to hide this from Tang Rao.

Given the Ice Clan's strength, the secret techniques for enhancing power should be effective. Tang Rao hoped Li Ze and Lao Hezi could fulfill their aspirations. Losing something for achieving them—why not?

"What are the drawbacks? To what extent is the harm done to the body?"

If the damage is minor, Tang Rao can make the decision to increase their strength.

Wen Jinjin pondered and said, "Their cultivation will stall unless someone stronger helps them enhance."

Someone stronger?

This means they can no longer cultivate independently; as long as they're accompanied by someone exceptionally strong, they can steadily progress further.

This idea sounds quite good. Tang Rao was confident that Li Ze and Lao Hezi's cultivation speed wasn't as fast as his. Now, Tang Rao would teach them, and later, as Tang Rao enhances his strength, he can boost theirs too. Such a great opportunity—why not?

"I want the secret technique; I want to elevate their strength."

Initially enhancing their strength; later they'll consolidate and develop it into something truly theirs.

"You're certain about boosting their strength?"

Wen Jinjin could provide the secret technique at any time, but before doing so, she wanted to ask Tang Rao again.

"Yes, I'm willing."

Tang Rao knew that what he said only represented himself; whether to actually elevate the strength, he must still ask the two who are involved.

He then called Lao Hezi and Li Ze in, "Li Ze, senior, do you both want to make it into the top ten?"

Tang Rao's question was serious, as he greatly valued tomorrow's competition.

"Yes, of course, we do. Been dreaming of it—what, do you have a solution?"

Without a way, what possibility is there?

A solution?

The word warmly resonated with Tang Rao, a term only used on Blue Star, amusing Tang Rao greatly.

"Of course, but before enhancing strength, I have to tell you the drawbacks. If you think they're insignificant, I can boost your strength now."

Both shook their heads, indicating they didn't want to hear about anything else—just wanted strength enhancement.

"Don't say anything; no need to explain. We trust you, boss. Why don't you just boost our strength right now?"

Li Ze was even more impatient than Lao Hezi.

"Let's first go over the details to prevent future regrets."
