The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

"Of course I'm not joking with you."

Tang Rao never jokes about these things.

"I've lived for tens of thousands of years, and I've never heard of anyone bringing so many people up there."

Uncle Zhou could only marvel at how the young are fearless. Tang Rao is young and bold; fearlessness seems natural.

"I was a miracle from the moment I was born. You don't have to worry; anything others can't do, I, Tang Rao, can."

Uncle Zhou couldn't continue talking to Tang Rao; this boy has the audacity to talk big because he has the capital to do so. Whatever he wanted to do, so far, hasn't run into any trouble.

To thank Uncle Zhou for providing so much information, Tang Rao decided to treat Uncle Zhou to the world's best instant noodles, plus two sausages and a marinated egg.

Uncle Zhou said something during the meal that could make Tang Rao laugh for a month.

He said it was the best thing he'd eaten in years.

After enjoying dinner, Tang Rao was sent back by the maid, and Li Ze and Old Crane were staring at him like a monster.

Tang Rao suddenly felt that having dinner with Uncle Zhou was a mistake.

After all, he was so happy when he returned that he forgot to clear the instant noodle smell from his body.

"Did you go out to eat something good?"

Li Ze came from the same place as Tang Rao, and he was more familiar with the smell on Tang Rao than anyone else.

"Instant noodles, are you not tired of eating them yet?"

Tang Rao looked disgusted, but his heart was blooming with joy.

Instant noodles were common on Blue Star, but in the Land of Immortals, they were a rare commodity, hard to come by even if you wanted to buy them.

"How many instant noodles do you have left? Give me a box, would you? Boss, I'm going crazy craving instant noodles."

Li Ze, thinking of the tangy noodles, was drooling all over.

Tang Rao had given Old Crane instant noodles before, and he hadn't had enough last time. This only rekindled his craving, making Old Crane's heart restless again.

"No, I don't even have enough for myself."

Tang Rao cruelly refused.

These people have become picky eaters. From then on, they would want to compete with Tang Rao for everything, so how could Tang Rao enjoy himself?

"Boss, I know you have a lot of stuff in your space ring. We've been brothers for years, you wouldn't begrudge a box of instant noodles, would you?"

Mind you, Old Crane and Li Ze hadn't even eaten while waiting for Tang Rao and the others to come back.

"Take it, each of you gets two extra sausages and an egg."

"Boss, that's high-end, not bad, not bad."

Li Ze didn't hold back, grabbing a box of instant noodles first; it was his favorite old pickled flavor.

Old Crane wasn't very skilled in making the noodles, luckily Li Ze helped him out.

After dealing with the two of them, Tang Rao returned to his room alone and lay on the bed.

His Divine Sense quickly entered the portable palace.

"Tang Rao, snacks, candy, chocolate!"

Little Fire Ginseng and Little Hedgehog were staring at Tang Rao.

Now it seemed like you needed an entry fee to get into the portable palace.

"Here."

He gave them two piles of things to divide among themselves.

Inside Tang Rao's portable palace, he searched around twice, even looking in the gaps, but he didn't see a trace of Jixing.

"Jixing, come out."

He began to call out.

Jixing didn't appear.

"Jixing, if you don't come out now, there won't be any food."

He offered a bribe.

This worked like a charm; just the mention of food, and he was faster than anyone else.

A wisp of smoke quickly appeared in front of Tang Rao.

"You're not going to tell me that you are this wisp of smoke?"

It'd be odd if smoke could eat things.

"Yes, what's so strange about that?"

It wasn't that Jixing wanted to appear like this, but he realized Tang Rao as his master. While his physical body merged with Tang Rao, he transformed into a wisp of smoke.

"Then how do you eat things?"

Though Jixing was just a wisp of smoke, he did his job well. As soon as food was mentioned, he transformed the entire cloud of smoke into a mouth-like shape.

"Not bad, you're promising."

Tang Rao tossed a piece of meat, and Jixing swiftly enveloped it.

"Finished. Was it tasty?"

"Tasty."

The things in Tang Rao's hand hadn't even been thrown yet, but Jixing immediately knew what Tang Rao meant.

"Ask, as long as I know."

Last time, Tang Rao used this method to extract all the information Jixing knew.

"How do you take a hundred people to the Third World?"

Tang Rao was eager to get the answer from Jixing.

"You have the Taotie ancestral bloodline, so you can bring three people; didn't Uncle Zhou tell you?"

When asked by Jixing, he gave the same answer.

"I'm asking about a hundred people. I want to take a hundred people up there."

Jixing covered his face.

Tang Rao must be crazy.

"The Third World is full of people who devour others without spitting out the bones. You want to take a hundred people there, aren't you sending them to their deaths?"

Jixing had seen bloodlines take ordinary people up before, the result was bloody. Without relying on strength, the chances of people who were brought up solely by bloodline surviving were very slim.

"As long as I can protect them, I just want to take My Mountain Sect brothers up there."

Such a big sect, the sect master left, and it's leaderless; this thriving Kao Shan Sect can't return to its former state.

"Better not, if you really mean well for them."

Jixing was still trying to persuade.

"I'll think about it some more and give you time to think about it and let me know."

Eventually, after the tournament, Tang Rao still decided to go back and ask his brothers' opinions. Those who wanted to go, he'd take. Those who didn't, Tang Rao wouldn't force.

Given more time, he wouldn't mind breaking through the barriers, allowing seamless exchange between Blue Star and the Nine Realms Seventy-two Domains. How great would that be?

"Alright."

Jixing stealthily snatched the meat from Tang Rao's hands, ate it, and slipped away.

Wonder how things were inside the Little World.

Long nights were silent, and Tang Rao quietly entered the Little World. The moment he went in, Little Hedgehog was faster than Tang Rao.

With such rich Immortal Energy present, if it couldn't smell it, it would be a disgrace to its treasure-seeking expertise.

"Chirp chirp chirp chirp."

Little Hedgehog pounced on the Purple Crystal cluster. Compared to last time, the Little Purple Crystal had grown considerably.

Seeing the Purple Crystal, Little Hedgehog couldn't help but bounce.

"This is inedible. If you snatch it again, I'll throw you out!"

He gave Little Hedgehog a warning first; Tang Rao didn't want all the Purple Crystals in the Little World to be stolen by Little Hedgehog.

Little Hedgehog dared not act recklessly.

"Wow, Purple Crystal!"

Seeing the Purple Crystal was like seeing its biological mother for Jixing. Another discerning little creature appeared. How could Tang Rao forget Jixing came from the Third World, where Purple Crystals had significant status which Jixing surely knew best.

"No, don't!"

Jixing's smoke gently wrapped around the Purple Crystal, giving it no chance to dodge, and it disappeared before Tang Rao's eyes.

"Little creature, where's my Purple Crystal, my Purple Crystal?"

This was the Purple Crystal Tang Rao had painstakingly cultivated, and the little creature stole it right in front of him.

"You've still got a lot, I just want a little."

Jixing showed no guilt for this kind of thievery.
