The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Tang Rao quickly showed Dong Xia to her room.

"It seems pretty nice," Dong Xia said as she looked around the room. "I like the style a lot."

"That's good. You rest first, I'll come back tomorrow," Tang Rao said.

"Aren't you staying too? The room's quite spacious," Dong Xia said.

Tang Rao: "..."

Oh Dong Xia, you have no idea what it means to share a room and a bed here...

"Nope, I still have some things to take care of," Tang Rao said.

"Tang Rao, I've done you such a big favor, and this is how you treat me? That's too much," Dong Xia said.

"Staying would be even worse," Tang Rao hinted with a meaningful look.

"I don't mind though."

Tang Rao: "..."

In the end, Tang Rao left; he really didn't want anything to happen with Dong Xia, that would be a total sin.

After Tang Rao left, Dong Xia went to the window, opened it, and quietly watched the outside.

"Blue Star, huh... Tang Rao, I've actually been here quite a few times. Also, you're really tough to deal with..." Dong Xia said.

"But I'll succeed eventually because you can't resist either," Dong Xia chuckled, squinting as she watched Tang Rao leaving the hotel.

...

After leaving the hotel, Tang Rao didn't immediately go away but sat down in the garden outside, lit a cigarette, and puffed slowly.

Staring into the distance, Tang Rao seemed lost in thought.

"People..." Suddenly, Tang Rao sneered and shook his head lightly.

After murmuring to himself, Tang Rao didn't continue sitting and tore through space, leaving directly.

...

In the Judge Mansion of the Seventy-two Domains, Jiang Guan was breathing heavily with an exceptionally dark expression.

His muscles and veins bulged like old tree roots and his slightly withered face was full of anger.

Jiu Zhikong's Soul Jade Scroll was shattered, yes, completely shattered.

With a snap, it turned to dust and then dissipated.

Meaning, Jiu Zhikong was dead.

Someone dared to kill a Judge Candidate Envoy; it was outrageous.

Moreover, Jiu Zhikong was at the peak of crossing the calamity, and a strong one at that, just one step away from achieving Half-step Great Perfection. Once he reached Half-step Great Perfection, he could become a new Judge.

This was extremely important for Jiang Guan.

But now, this capable assistant was dead, and the death was mysterious, with no idea who the killer was.

"Get someone... never mind!" Jiang Guan initially wanted to shout for someone to investigate, but after thinking it over, he decided to go himself.

Damn it, the death of a Judge Candidate Envoy was a big deal.

If they couldn't investigate and find anything substantial, even his position as Judge might be threatened.

Not even knowing who killed the most important person under his command was already too embarrassing.

"My lord..." However, someone outside still came in.

"It's nothing," Jiang Guan dismissed with a wave of his hand.

"Then, I will take my leave first."

"Wait!" The person had just reached the door when Jiang Guan stopped him.

"Do you know where Jiu Zhikong has gone?" Jiang Guan asked.

"It seems he's gone to the Central Emperor Realm, saying he was off to investigate something, hoping to accomplish a great feat," said the person.

Central Emperor Realm?

Jiang Guan's eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"Alright, you can leave now," Jiang Guan waved his hand and waited for the person to leave before preparing to depart.

"Whoosh!" Just as Jiang Guan was about to leave, a sudden gust of wind sounded, followed by the swift flight of a Spirit Arrow piercing into the great hall.

"Who is it!" Jiang Guan roared in anger, then casually grabbed the Spirit Arrow in his hand.

Originally, Jiang Guan was ready to be cautious, but upon seeing something tied to the Spirit Arrow, he put aside his caution and removed the item.

"Is this, a playback screen?" Jiang Guan frowned, such a device he had seen within the Nine Realms and the Seventy-two Domains.

After pressing it a few times, the screen lit up.

Then, the bodies of a man and a woman appeared on the screen.

Jiang Guan's eyes gradually widened—wasn't this... Why would it be with Mei Fanghua?

However, soon, Jiang Guan's brain was clouded with a much stronger sense of shame—Mei Fanghua, you fucking dared to mess around with other men behind my back!

In the next moment, without caring who sent the video, Jiang Guan tore through space and left, rushing directly to the chief star of the Central Emperor Realm.

"Huh? The palace is destroyed?" When Jiang Guan arrived at the chief star, he paused, as the Sky Palace was gone, replaced by a large pile of ruins.

What's this situation?

But Jiang Guan didn't care about these matters and directly homed in on Mei Fanghua's presence, arriving in an instant.

In the temporary residence, Mei Fanghua was sitting and stewing in her anger, which had not subsided entirely even now.

"Whoosh!" Suddenly, space twisted, and then a figure appeared before her.

Mei Fanghua quickly looked up and her expression changed upon seeing Jiang Guan.

Could it be that Jiu Zhikong has already told Jiang Guan? This piece of trash.

"Mr. Jiang..."

"Shut up!" Jiang Guan didn't let Mei Fanghua finish speaking and interrupted her with an angry shout.

Seeing Jiang Guan's unfriendly gaze, Mei Fanghua felt a headache coming on—it seemed Jiu Zhikong really did tell everything to Jiang Guan.

"Alright, I admit that I killed those two members of the Soul Capture Pavilion who held Judge Orders, but it's not my fault. They were asking for it. Mr. Jiang, can't you just let it slide..." Mei Fanghua's voice was sickeningly sweet.

If others saw this, their eyes would pop out.

"So it was you who did this; however, I'm not asking about this matter. I'm asking about Jiu Zhikong!" Jiang Guan demanded.

"I didn't expect him to actually attack when he said he would. He wanted to kill me; I could only protect myself..."

"And you killed him for that?! You scumbag!" Jiang Guan was already harboring killing intent.

Mei Fanghua was stunned—what? Killed Jiu Zhikong? No, after losing track of Jiu Zhikong, the four peak Tribulation Crossing cultivators had returned without a scratch on him.

"Mr. Jiang, I didn't!" Mei Fanghua immediately exclaimed.

"You've already admitted it, and still you say you didn't!"

"I admit that I ordered four peak Tribulation Crossing cultivators to intercept Jiu Zhikong, but they lost his trail during the pursuit and returned. Besides, those four cultivators are mediocre in strength; they couldn't possibly kill Mr. Jiu Zhikong," Mei Fanghua quickly explained, needing to clarify the situation.

If Mr. Jiang really thought she killed Jiu Zhikong, she would be finished.

In Jiang Guan's eyes, Jiu Zhikong was much more important than her.

Hearing Mei Fanghua's words, Jiang Guan's eyes narrowed slightly.

What Mei Fanghua said did make some sense; he was well aware of what strengths Mei Fanghua had on her side. Those few peak Tribulation Crossing cultivators killing Jiu Zhikong? Not a chance.

"It's not me..." Mei Fanghua moved closer to Jiang Guan and rubbed against him.

"Get lost!" Feeling Mei Fanghua rubbing against him, Jiang Guan's rage flared, and he furiously kicked Mei Fanghua in the stomach, sending her flying out.
