Chapter 585: Yu Ze Is a Good Young Man
Tang Rao just stared at Li Yuze like that for a full half hour, and Li Yuze was tough too, staring back at Tang Rao without any intention of giving in.
Both of their eyes turned red.
"Ah..." Suddenly, two clear tears rolled down from Tang Rao's eyes.
Li Yuze was stunned, what's happening? Tang Rao is crying?
"Yu Ze, I actually don't insist on you undertaking this task. If you really don't want to, forget it, I won't force you. It's just a pity that the common people in the world will suffer. It breaks my heart to think about those ordinary folks who will face death's threat in the future. My heart is in agony and I'm at a loss. What's the use of me, Tang Rao, who thought he had the capability, yet in the end, can't save anyone. It's sad, lamentable, and laughable... But let it be, this is the will of the Heavenly Dao, it's all destined. I hope that when this world steps into utter darkness and never sees light again, you won't blame me, after all, I've done everything I could." Tang Rao's face showed deep sorrow, with tears cascading down, pervaded by a chilling sadness.
Li Yuze: "(>_<)"
"Is it really that serious?" Li Yuze asked.
Hearing Li Yuze's words, Tang Rao snapped his fingers with a pop pop pop in his heart.
Kid, you're still too green, Lao Hei daddy is somewhat more formidable.
"If it weren't serious, I wouldn't be looking for you. You know, you're the most talented cultivator, you're the most eye-catching genius in the entire starry sky. If you go, there's a possibility of success, and I would be at ease. Of course, if you're unwilling, I won't force you, I've never been a domineering person." Tang Rao continued.
"You first tell me what exactly it is?" Li Yuze asked, recalling what Tang Rao said before about being seductive... it made him uneasy.
"If you promise, I'll tell you; if you don't want to, then act as if I never came." Tang Rao waved his hand as he spoke.
After that, Tang Rao began to mutter under his breath: Ah, Blue Star is really pitiful, with a destiny full of hardships and constant danger. I pity those fellow countrymen, afraid they're about to endure the torment of war again.
Clearly, Tang Rao's soft babble worked, Li Yuze's gaze wandered, his expression conflicted, teetering on the edge of agreement.
Tang Rao said no more, at this point it was almost enough, saying more might backfire.
"Alright, I agree." A few minutes later, Li Yuze let out a long breath, nodded and said.
"Yu Ze, you are a hero!" Tang Rao stood up, patted Li Yuze on the shoulder, with a profound look in his eyes, "I knew you would agree, because I know that you've always been a person who cares about the world, you have a philanthropic heart, you're the hero of the entire starry sky, I admire you."
"Cut the crap, just tell me what it is." Li Yuze suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart, feeling like he had fallen into a trap.
"You also know, Mei Fanghua left the whole Central Emperor Realm and disappeared," Tang Rao said.
Li Yuze nodded, he was aware of this.
"Just now, I've located where Mei Fanghua settled. She is cultivating some forbidden power, and her strength is growing very fast. Given her hatred for us, once she achieves Great Perfection, she will definitely return for vengeance. By then, for Blue Star, it will absolutely be a catastrophe," Tang Rao said.
"So, you want me to find Mei Fanghua and kill her?" Li Yuze's eyes lit up; if that's all there was to it, he would be quite willing.
Just as Tang Rao said, Mei Fanghua is a significant threat to Blue Star.
"Of course... not!" Tang Rao exclaimed, "If it were that simple, I'd go myself. The task I'm entrusting you with is more arduous, more grand and noble."
Not going to kill Mei Fanghua, then what is it...
Li Yuze suddenly froze, his eyes widening into perfect circles.
Tang Rao had just mentioned seduction to me, and now he's bringing up Mei Fanghua... could it be... seducing Mei Fanghua?
Damn it!
"It seems you've already figured it out. Yes, Yu Ze, what I want you to do is use your handsome and dashing body to get close to Mei Fanghua, to gain her trust. I believe you can definitely succeed," Tang Rao nodded as he spoke.
"I won't! Tang Rao, you're setting me up again!" Li Yuze felt like crying. Seducing Mei Fanghua, bro, that's not just falling into a pit—it's Hell.
Mei Fanghua, she must be at least seventy or eighty, right? How can you do this to me? Are you not betraying the feelings between us?
"Yu Ze, tell me, what is the most important thing for a person in this world? Right, your answer is very good—it's our credibility. If a person has no credibility, how are they any different from a salted fish! Since you've already agreed, you should strive to accomplish it, instead of going back on your word. Don't you think so?" Tang Rao asked.
Li Yuze: "..."
When did I ever say it was credibility, that was all you talking.
"Alright, this is the address where Mei Fanghua is, take it." Tang Rao forcefully stuffed a piece of paper into Li Yuze's hand, "Go with confidence, win her trust, and then get her to deal with Cui Baiyi. Make her believe that all of this is Cui Baiyi's doing. When they start fighting like dogs, the crisis for our Blue Star will be resolved."
"I... I really don't want to..." Tears fell from Li Yuze's eyes.
"Yu Ze is truly a fine young man!" Tang Rao exclaimed as he left.
Hearing this, Li Yuze nearly broke down in sobs. I'm not a fine young man; you're just too treacherous...
Tang Rao, I hope you get ravaged by an old hag...
After leaving Li Yuze, Tang Rao didn't go to the Central Emperor Realm of the Seventy-two Domains, but instead went home first.
Have a meal, chat with Bai Yushu and such.
Bai Yushu still treated him like a son, and she had never asked Tang Rao about anything regarding the Central Emperor Realm and the Seventy-two Domains. Tang Rao also cherished this sense of familial affection after being reborn, because he had never really experienced it before...
After dinner, Tang Rao left for the Giant Merchant Star.
Of course, Tang Rao wasn't going there for revenge, what a lunatic—Giant Merchant Star definitely has Great Perfection masters stationed there. Taking revenge? Ridiculous.
However, since Giant Merchant Star played me once, not playing them back would just feel wrong.
Giant Merchant Star currently probably has no idea that I've guessed that the Heavenly Demons from beyond their domain were their doing. Since they don't know, it's a good opportunity to have some fun.
"If I don't trick you into calling me daddy, my moniker 'Tang Rao the Great Demon King' would be in vain," Tang Rao muttered to himself, full of smugness.
In the past half a month, apart from Cultivation, the rest of the time he spent scheming how to trick Giant Merchant Star, while also pondering future plans.
Tricking Giant Merchant Star is indeed an important part of the plan.
So, it must be done beautifully and solidly.
