Chapter 406: Winning My Heart Is Even Better
Tang Rao's gaze was intensely burning.
"I'm telling you, not only can you set up a Defense Array now, but as long as you have enough materials, you can set up a Super Array so powerful that it would drive the peak Cultivators of tribulation-transcending mad! It would be more than enough to even trap me!" Tang Rao rapidly explained.
"Oh... really..." Yun Xi murmured.
"Yes, exactly like that." Tang Rao nodded, "So, do you mean..."
"Alright, then I'll just accept your pursuit. From today onwards, you can start pursuing me, and as for when I will agree, we'll talk about that later." Yun Xi waved her hand as she spoke.
Tang Rao: "..."
"Come on now, let go of me..." Yun Xi said.
Tang Rao looked at Yun Xi in front of him, suddenly feeling a bit infuriated.
Then, on a sudden impulse, he pulled Yun Xi towards him and, holding her head, leaned down to kiss her lips.
Yun Xi didn't expect Tang Rao to do something like this at all; her mind turned into a mush.
As for Tang Rao, his mind was also completely blank at this point; he didn't even know why he had done that.
It was just a decision made in the heat of the moment.
"Get off..." Before Tang Rao could even extend his tongue, Yun Xi delivered a knee to his lower stomach.
It wasn't very painful, but Tang Rao still backed off.
"Tang Rao, you've become pretty skilled, huh!" After a few seconds of silence, Yun Xi said while wiping her slightly reddened mouth.
Tang Rao felt a bit awkward; he didn't know what to respond.
Should he say it was a spur-of-the-moment thing and apologize?
What's there to apologize for, the kiss already happened.
"Just moderately skilled, all because you're not trustworthy," Tang Rao snorted.
"I haven't even agreed yet and you kissed me, what kind of way is that to do things? I'll let you off this time, but if it happens again I really will get angry!" Yun Xi pointed at Tang Rao, not seeming very angry.
"Why should I care about your forgiveness? Next time, I might just force–– you!" Tang Rao said defiantly.
Yun Xi frowned slightly, "Tang Rao, if you do that, even if you can have me, you won't have my heart."
"I'll be satisfied with having you!"
"Winning my heart would unlock more positions, you know." Yun Xi suddenly said.
She read that on Weiyen (micro-research) and blurted it out without thinking.
Tang Rao: "0"
"It seems you're not in the mood to study arrays with me anymore... Fine, accompany me back to school then. Winter break is over, school has already started." Yun Xi said.
Start of the school term...
Tang Rao rolled his eyes.
If Yun Xi hadn't mentioned it, he really wouldn't have remembered such a thing.
But then again, it seemed pointless to continue going to school.
The key point is, where do I find the time to go to school and lounge in classrooms now? Today is a rare day off.
"Fine, I might as well go handle a leave of absence, I won't be attending anymore," Tang Rao said.
"You're not allowed to drop out. If you do, don't even think about getting laid with me." Yun Xi shouted at Tang Rao.
Tang Rao: "..."
"Yun Xi, when did you become so fierce?"
"That's just the way I am, you don't know because you understand too little about me. You want me to be your girlfriend without even knowing me, you're dreaming!"
"Fuck, what does that have to do with anything?"
"Nonsense, of course it does."
...
Tang Rao didn't use a Space Rift or show off his speed; instead, he chose to drive.
It took about an hour to get to Sui City University.
The atmosphere in the school was unusual.
Walking along, all the students were discussing were the Seventy-two Domains and Cultivation, as well as various new technologies.
Yes, the products developed by the Special Ninth Department have already started to be applied in daily life.
Like the internet, the closest thing to everyday life.
Within a month, the global network was upgraded.
The old network model was completely discarded, replaced by a new type of network based on Spirit Stones, combining the best of both worlds, optimized and advanced.
The speed was simply too incredible.
Moreover, Tang Rao secretly had Liu Sanxing connect a network for the Huang Dynasty within the Seventy-two Domains, dedicated to establishing network bases there.
Yes, Tang Rao wanted the entire Seventy-two Domains to share the network.
And then, charge for it!!
I don't believe you won't fall into the trap, I just don't believe you won't pay up.
When that time comes, with plenty of Spirit Stones, I'll build an iron fortress here, I can rest easy, peacefully date Yun Xi, quietly have children, and raise the next generation…
Forget it, thinking too much...
"Tang Rao, I want to come back to school. After all, I can still carry out Array studies and learning here," Yun Xi said.
The two of them strolled along the school's road, surrounded by a beautiful environment and beautiful people.
"That's fine," Tang Rao nodded. Yun Xi's talent for Arrays had not been exposed at all, so there wasn't any danger in her staying at university.
"By the way, I have a task for you," Tang Rao said.
"Sure!" Yun Xi was excited, feeling very happy to be able to help Tang Rao.
She obviously liked Tang Rao, so she was trying her best to be helpful.
She didn't want to become a burden to Tang Rao, nor did she want to watch helplessly every day as he faced threats, powerless to do anything. She didn't want that kind of love.
To last a long time, two people need to be able to support each other.
This was something Yun Xi had always insisted on.
"You first work out an Array. The requirement for this Array is that no matter which corner of Blue Star people come from, they must eventually be teleported to a designated point on the Moon," Tang Rao said.
This was the problem he most wanted to solve right now.
Damn it, if people from the Seventy-two Domains came en masse, who knew what kind of chaos it would cause.
If everyone teleported to the Moon, then they could be managed collectively, and a unified registry and monitoring would be much easier.
"Oh, I see, okay, I'll let you know when I've figured it out," Yun Xi nodded. It sounded a bit challenging, but she was confident.
"Thank you."
"I should be the one thanking you. On behalf of everyone on Blue Star, thank you, Tang Rao," said Yun Xi.
Yun Xi understood clearly that if it weren't for Tang Rao, who knew what would have happened when Blue Star connected with the Seventy-two Domains.
Maybe it would have already been destroyed, ceased to exist.
Why don't the people from the Seventy-two Domains dare to come over now? It's entirely because of Tang Rao, the former sovereign of the Central Emperor Realm.
"Then you can love me on behalf of all the people of Blue Star. Start with a passionate kiss and then..."
"And then you're a ghost... Can't you think of anything else? All day long it's these things..."
"I'm a man, what else am I supposed to think about!"
"Unambitious!"
"..."
"Yun Xi senior?" Suddenly, someone nearby called out with some surprise.
Both Tang Rao and Yun Xi turned their heads; it was a student, quite handsome.
"You are... Sun Yan," Yun Xi laughed.
"Yep, Yun Xi senior, I'm Sun Yan. Will you be my girlfriend?" Sun Yan completely ignored Tang Rao by Yun Xi's side and blurted out his request.
Yun Xi was a little taken aback; she had only met Sun Yan a few times...
"Kid, aren't you going to ask who I am first? What if I'm Yun Xi's boyfriend? Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to do this?" Tang Rao looked at Sun Yan and said, squinting slightly.
