The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

"Okay, that's pretty much everything, you guys continue talking, I'm leaving. Remember, three days, we don't have much time to waste. The Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains are no easy opponents, the longer we delay, the worse it gets." Tang Rao said and didn't linger before vanishing with a swoosh.

Leaving behind a group of high-ranking officials from Yan Nation looking at each other in bewilderment.

Everything happened too quickly, everything was fine yesterday, and today, it has turned into this situation.

Truly, it proves the old saying: 'The affairs of the world are unpredictable.'

After leaving the place, Tang Rao did not idle, he opened a space rift and entered the starry sky.

In the previous month and a half, he wasn't only setting up eighty-one black pillars on the Moon, he also placed something else in near-Earth space: the Space Spider Silk Array.

The Space Spider Silk Array is present on many well-planned planets within the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains.

This thing has no offensive power, nor the capability to deceive others.

In fact, you can't even destroy it, because the array is connected to the one who laid it out.

The sole function of the Space Spider Silk Array is that, whenever someone passes through, the person who laid it out would know.

For weaker entities, it doesn't matter, but for the strong ones, knowing ahead allows for preemptive actions.

"For this place, Dad has really racked his brains." Tang Rao started laying out spirit stones, countless spirit stones.

Indeed, the only flaw of the Space Spider Silk Array is that it's extremely costly!

An array covering the entire planet needs at least tens of thousands of spirit stones every year.

Tens of thousands of spirit stones, think about how many good items you could buy with that in the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains.

"Hmm?" Just as he finished setting the last spirit stone, Tang Rao's mind slightly stirred.

Someone's arrived so soon?

"Yo, all Mahayana Realm cultivators. Looks like you are here to gather information." Tang Rao muttered, slightly smirking.

These people, most likely, were sent by Mei Fanghua.

And Mei Fanghua must be acting under Bai Ze's orders.

Bai Ze, that trash, do you really think you can hide in the crowd and Dad won't notice you?

Your people from Soul Capture Pavilion all exude a strong scent of scum, can't you smell it?

"Alright, since you've come, I'll show you the hospitality of the landlord." Tang Rao sneered, a group of Mahayana Realm cultivators, what are they here for? To tour the mountains, rivers and enjoy a sightseeing vacation?

In just an instant, Tang Rao appeared in front of the group.

A total of fifty people, who looked like they were about to split up and search separately.

Seeing Tang Rao suddenly appear, all fifty turned pale.

Tang Rao's new appearance had already been spread widely, they of course recognized him.

"Coming over to someone's place, don't you at least send a greeting first?" Tang Rao looked at the fifty people, his lips curving slightly.

No one among the fifty dared to speak, all sweating profusely.

"Can you say something?" Tang Rao glared at them, "Zhang Fengshuo, you speak."

Yes, among these people, Tang Rao recognized several, all previously subordinates under his command.

"King...uh, you, you know me?" Zhang Fengshuo stepped forward, surprised that Tang Rao remembered him.

"Nonsense!" Tang Rao gave Zhang Fengshuo a glance, "Mei Fanghua sent you here, right? What for? To gather information about Blue Star, right! Hmm, more precisely, it must be Bai Ze who ordered Mei Fanghua to do so."

Zhang Fengshuo swallowed hard.

Everyone knew already, yet they timidly came to gather information, thinking about it was simply embarrassing.

"Since you want to gather information, come with me," Tang Rao waved his hand and said.

What does that mean?

The group was all somewhat confused. What do you mean by follow you? What are you going to do to us?

"What... what are you going to do?" Zhang Fengshuo asked.

"You are all spies, aren't spies bad? Of course, I need to gather you all and then give you a good beating. Yep, and if I'm not happy, I might just kill you," Tang Rao said.

We're dead!

Fifty people's faces changed.

"Can you... let us go?" Zhang Fengshuo asked.

"Let you go? Just go back empty-handed? Aren't you afraid that Mei Fanghua will take your lives? As far as I know, she's not exactly a kind soul; killing someone without even blinking an eye," Tang Rao asked slantingly.

"This... this..." Zhang Fengshuo was at a loss for words, because Tang Rao was right, when Mei Fanghua decides to kill, she is utterly ruthless.

"How about this, I give you a choice. Swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao, pledge loyalty to me, and then I will give you some information about Blue Star for you to take back to Mei Fanghua. After that, you can stay by Mei Fanghua's side as my undercover agent. How does that sound?" Tang Rao asked with a smile.

The group was all a bit short-circuited. Can we even play like this?

Double agents, isn't this a bit too dangerous?

"If you don't agree, I'll have to make a move," Tang Rao threatened.

"I agree!" Zhang Fengshuo shouted immediately.

Damn it, he can't afford to offend these deities. Although Tang Rao knows him, it doesn't mean Tang Rao won't kill him; these top figures are decisive in killing.

"Fine, those who agree, swear your oaths to the Heavenly Dao now, be absolutely loyal to Mei Fanghua, and I'll happily send you to your deaths," Tang Rao said indifferently.

Fifty people all swore their oaths to the Heavenly Dao.

At times like this, it's better not to court death.

"Smart people, then okay, come with me to Blue Star for a spin, help me with some minor tasks within your capacity, and then you can go back," Tang Rao pointed, and various pieces of information flooded into everyone's minds.

Each person received different information; in any case, all were tasks arranged by Tang Rao.

Fifty Mahayana Realm cultivators, though they're not much use, are still better than none for Earth Star now.

...

When he returned to the Plantation, it was already deep into the night, Tang Rao fetched a jar of wine and drank while gazing at the starry sky.

His mind was filled with various thoughts, schemes.

The situation had changed, he must start planning some maneuvers.

"Back already?" Suddenly, a voice came from behind.

Tang Rao turned around to see Yun Xi in a robe, her hair sprawled, looking very elegant.

Under the moonlight, she looked especially beautiful.

Tang Rao's heart thudded hard.

"Mm, haven't slept yet?" Tang Rao took a deep breath. Perhaps because he liked Yun Xi, seeing her dressed like this was particularly tempting to him.

He felt agitated.

"Mm, I was researching cultivation earlier," Yun Xi said.

Tang Rao: "..."

You're really serious, Yun Xi. Cultivation isn't something that can be achieved in a day or two, and... not to shoot you down, but your aptitude really isn't good.

Of course, Tang Rao didn't want to say that anymore, because Yun Xi didn't want to hear it; her stubbornness was lethal.
