The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

"Tang Rao, what's wrong? Are you okay?"

Wen Jinjin couldn't stand Tang Rao looking at him with those deep eyes.

"I'm fine, but Jinjin, there's something I want to tell you."

Tang Rao took a deep breath and said to Wen Jinjin, "I'm sorry, actually I have wives, so I'm not the kind of devoted man, and I can't give you all my love. I hid this from you, making you only find out the truth now."

As Tang Rao spoke, he started slapping himself. This wasn't necessary, and once he did, Wen Jinjin started crying uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face.

"It's okay, really, it's all okay. I haven't told you that I'm sick and may not live for many more years, so I still hope you have more women around you. This way, when I pass away, you won't be so sad."

Wen Jinjin burst into tears, inadvertently exposing her condition.

Tang Rao, who had been slapping himself, stopped immediately and stared at Wen Jinjin in shock, "What? You're sick?"

It's not that he feared Wen Jinjin would transmit it, it's just that such news wasn't common. Tang Rao hadn't fully accepted it, especially considering their intimate relationship.

Given that Wen Jinjin and Tang Rao had shared a bed, Tang Rao felt obliged to cure her illness.

"I knew that once I said I was sick, you'd all stay away from me. It's fine, I was prepared for this."

Wen Jinjin wasn't afraid of being rejected; she was only afraid of life without Tang Rao.

Tang Rao just wanted to change the way he spoke with Wen Jinjin, but Wen Jinjin always took it as rejection.

"What nonsense is this? Am I that kind of person? There's no illness in the world that can't be solved. Tell me, and I'll see how tough it is."

Tang Rao held Wen Jinjin's hands, and a little fire spirit entered her body, happily exploring until it refused to come out.

It wasn't until Tang Rao was about to get angry that the little fire spirit emerged from Wen Jinjin's blood.

"Jinjin, it's just a fire poison, and you got scared like this. I thought it was something more serious."

Silence hung in the air. Tang Rao asked repeatedly, but Wen Jinjin couldn't tell him her sickness. When Tang Rao made a correct diagnosis easily, calling it minor, Wen Jinjin looked at him with hope.

"Do you think I can survive this?"

"Of course you can!"

Tang Rao looked at Wen Jinjin, firm in his belief in her recovery.

"Once I cure you, you can decide whether to return. The fire poison is spreading in your blood, and if we wait any longer, I might not be able to help."

While discussing healing, Tang Rao mentioned Wen Jinjin's return to the Ice Clan, unexpectedly feeling an inexplicable desolation.

"Stop it, I'm not leaving. No matter how many women you have, I won't go. Wherever you go, I'll follow. Among your women, I believe I'm the strongest. I can protect you; others make me uneasy."

Wen Jinjin clung to Tang Rao, not letting go, the old crane witnessing this loving moment, couldn't help but marvel at the beauty of young love.

"Jinjin, rest assured, with your words, I will never betray you in my lifetime."

Tang Rao promised this in front of the old crane, who looked at him with disdain.

If you're going to have many women, just do it, but don't pretend to be deeply in love when surrounded by so many.

"My brother Tang Rao is a man of his word; trust that he will not betray you."

The old crane joined in, ready to lavish praise as long as Tang Rao was willing.

Just as Tang Rao was about to discuss how to cure the fire poison, the Kao Shan Sect shook a few times, catching Tang Rao off guard and nearly knocking him over. Wen Jinjin instinctively grabbed him, avoiding a fall, while the old crane wasn't so lucky, grasping at the grasses in panic.

"Whoa, who dares to cause trouble in my territory!"

With such an incident, why had the patrol not reported to Tang Rao yet? Had something happened to all of them?

Tang Rao felt a cold sweat break out, but fortunately, the old crane had seen such things before, standing up and spitting out the dirt, "No one's causing trouble, seems like the Endless Sea is restless again. No wonder people are panicking to find someone to check it out."

The old crane understood these things, having lived long and seen much, while Tang Rao was still puzzled, the old crane had grasped the key point.

"What's that mean? I'm not quite getting it."

What did this have to do with the Endless Sea?

Prompted by the old crane, Wen Jinjin suddenly understood.

"Tang Rao, do you remember before leaving the snowy land, did Uncle Zhou mention something about training at the Endless Sea?"

In the snowy land, nothing escaped Wen Jinjin's notice.

"He did."

Tang Rao was resolute.

"Exactly, the training is just an excuse. The Endless Sea is the real issue. Every ten thousand years, the energy within overflows and needs a release point. Our Land of Immortals and the Endless Sea are different systems, but this balance is about to break."

Wen Jinjin exclaimed.

"You mean the training is a ploy to send ten strong ones from the Land of Immortals to their deaths at the Endless Sea to make peace?"

Tang Rao almost doubted his ears.

It seemed like he was the one destined to die, not Wen Jinjin.

"That's the point, but there are treasures in the Endless Sea. A trip there is many people's dream. I thought you knew this before you entered the competition."

Wen Jinjin looked embarrassed, revealing the truth only now, leaving Tang Rao with no options.

"Ah, I suddenly don't want to go to the Endless Sea. What kind of place is that, expecting me to die, no way!"

Tang Rao almost went to find Uncle Zhou to confront him.

First, when asking him to go to the Third World, he played pitiful, and now, expecting him to die, he didn't even flinch.

Even if he had the strength to go to the Third World, with two hundred others, he wouldn't agree to take him along.

Wow, just thinking about going to the Endless Sea almost made Tang Rao cry.
