The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

However, the female robber's threat had no effect on Tang Rao at all, as he continued to walk ahead nonchalantly.

"Hey, hey, hey, who are you? Seriously, stop coming closer, I'm going to do something!"

"Alright then, go ahead and do something," Tang Rao spread his hands and said, his face full of indifference.

Female robber: "..."

"F*ck, is this how the Defense Bureau operates? Completely disregarding the hostage's life?"

Seeing that she couldn't stop Tang Rao, the female robber immediately changed her tactic.

"Who told you I'm from the Defense Bureau?" Tang Rao said with a smile.

The female robber was stunned for a moment. Not from the Defense Bureau? Now she really screwed the pooch.

"Besides, even if I were from the Defense Bureau, do you honestly think you'd go through with killing this lady? Personally, I don't believe it," Tang Rao continued.

Tang Rao couldn't see the female robber's face, but right now, her eyes were practically rolling to the sky.

Goodness, what kind of person am I dealing with? Can't you understand people a bit better?

Yes, she never really intended to kill the lady from the start, she just wanted to scare the damn woman.

"Put your weapon away, or else I won't be able to save you," Tang Rao said to the female robber.

"You save me?"

"What else do you think I'm here for? In less than ten seconds, the Defense Bureau's super-tech weapons will be ready to strike, and do you think you'll have a chance to live then? So when I say I'm here to save you, I'm not wrong at all," Tang Rao said.

"Ten seconds? Are you bluffing?"

No sooner had the female robber finished speaking than a white light suddenly appeared, coming at an alarming speed.

Underneath the black stockings, a look of panic and despair appeared in the female robber's eyes.

It's actually real...

"Bang!" Tang Rao's hand suddenly reached out.

Catching the white light shot out by the super-tech weapon, with a resounding bang, it landed in Tang Rao's palm.

There was no explosion or mess of blood and flesh in his palm, it simply dissipated quietly.

Everyone looked at Tang Rao in horror, especially the female robber standing in front of him; beneath the black stockings, her eyes were wide open.

"I said I'd save you, and I will. I'm a man of my word," Tang Rao said with a smile.

That super-tech weapon that came blasting over was pretty crappy, even worse than the gadget in the female robber's hands.

It's only suitable for picking on the weak—encounter someone at the Golden Core Stage, and it's completely useless.

Developing such a pathetic thing to this extent and then you're all so eager to abandon me? It's enough really. I don't know what I did to piss you off—I don't even go to Special Ninth Department...

"What the hell are you doing!" Several patrolling cultivators from the Defense Bureau shouted at Tang Rao, who had just blocked the shot that would have otherwise killed the robber.

Tang Rao paid no attention to them, continuing to look at the female robber.

"Alright, put away your weapon and come with me. Otherwise, I'll just step aside, yeah? You know you can't dodge the super-tech weapons," Tang Rao said.

The female robber bit her tender lips, realizing she was completely cornered.

She was about to die.

"As long as we don't go to the Defense Bureau, I'm good," said the female robber.

"Of course we won't go to the Defense Bureau; I told you I'm not one of their people," Tang Rao said.

"Then fine!" The female robber nodded, immediately put away the super-tech weapon in her hand, and then flung the lady she had been holding out.

Right after the female robber pushed the lady away, several officers from the Defense Bureau charged forward.

"What are you trying to do?" Tang Rao turned his head to look at the patrolling officers rushing toward him.

"Of course, to capture the criminal!"

"Step aside!"

"Do you intend to obstruct the Defense Bureau's operations?"

Tang Rao, with a smile, "Sorry, but I'm taking this person with me."

"This person is part of the robbers' gang and should be arrested too!"

"Go!"

Watching the three or four cultivators rushing over, Tang Rao appeared helpless, grumbling that snatching credit wasn't to be done this way, they were truly vicious and brutal.

With just a casual flick of his finger, Tang Rao formed a barrier in front of him, effectively stopping the cultivators in their tracks.

The cultivators bombarded the barrier wildly, but the barrier didn't even budge an inch.

What a joke, even cultivators in the Mahayana Realm couldn't break through this barrier, let alone these early-stage Golden Core cultivators.

"You're making an enemy out of the Defense Bureau!" one of the cultivators yelled.

"Enemy of the Defense Bureau?" Turning to face them, Tang Rao couldn't help but laugh, "Go and ask the higher-ups at the Defense Bureau if they dare to oppose me? Ridiculous! Since when did a few early Golden Core stage cultivators become so arrogant?"

"You..."

"That's enough from you lot." Situ Jinli cut in, "Do you even know who he is? You're blabbering nonsense without knowing anything. Let me tell you, he holds an A-Level clearance from the Defense Bureau."

Hearing Jin Li's words, the patrolling officers were dumbfounded.

A-Level clearance, holy shit, they were only C-Level.

The difference was not just a little.

"Jin Li, Xin Yu, I have some business to take care of, so I'm off. Do you think you'll be able to make it back okay?" Tang Rao said.

"No problem at all," Situ Jinli replied.

"Brother Tang, could it be that you've taken a fancy to this female robber? She does have a nice figure, but what if her face is full of freckles? You've got to think this over," Mo Xinyu called out.

Tang Rao: "..."

Everyone: "..."

"What are you blathering about? My face is full of freckles? I'll have you know I'm as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, my face could launch a thousand ships! You're just a little bud, I could beat you hands down ten times over!" the female robber shouted at Mo Xinyu.

"Pssh, then why don't you take off your black ~stockings~," Mo Xinyu retorted.

"I'm afraid I'd blind you all."

"Face full of freckles!"

"Little bud!"

...

To put an end to the bickering between the two women, Tang Rao simply grabbed the female robber, and with a flash, they vanished on the spot.

Seeing Tang Rao leaving with the female robber, Mo Xinyu puffed her cheeks, looking quite unhappy.

"Alright, Xin Yu, let's head back," Jin Li stepped forward, putting an arm around Mo Xinyu's shoulders.

"Jin Li, I really like him," Mo Xinyu suddenly confessed, "Yeah, love at first sight."

Situ Jinli: "..."

Mo Xinyu was usually somewhat boy-crazy, just liking to look at handsome men and gossip about them. However, this time, she felt Mo Xinyu had truly fallen hard.

Love at first sight, well, there's really nothing one can do about that.

"He's no ordinary person, and you ought to know that. Therefore, I must remind you not to hold on to too much hope. Often, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Besides, you don't really understand him," Situ Jinli was much more rational than Mo Xinyu.

It was clear from the recent incident, where Tang Laosan saved the female robber, that Tang Laosan was definitely not a pushover and not as simple as he seemed.
