The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

For half of the day, Tang Rao chatted with Li Shengxuan.

Tang Rao asked many questions, but Li Shengxuan remembered very little; She knew only her own name was Li Shengxuan, her parents had been plotted against, and she was the only one in her family who escaped. For some reason, she couldn't remember anything else, and she ended up being carried away in the claws of a large bird and falling unconscious. Later, that big bird was brought down by Tang Rao.

Although Li Shengxuan didn't remember much, she turned out to be quite the conversationalist.

Tang Rao talked with her all afternoon and didn't feel bored at all.

Li Shengxuan had an amusing way of speaking, which was fun to listen to; she would occasionally laugh, and her laughter was very beautiful.

But within that smile, Tang Rao always felt a touch of sadness.

Perhaps it was due to her parents' demise. Although she couldn't remember the specifics, that emotion still lingered.

"Sheng Xuan, about that, you've got quite the teeth there. That strange bird's bones were really hard, yet you crunched them all up and ate them. In that respect, I can only admire you," Tang Rao shifted the topic to food.

"Bones? Hmm, they were quite crunchy. Xiao Hei, are the bones not supposed to be eaten?" Li Shengxuan responded.

Tang Rao: "..."

"You can eat them, and they're even good for calcium. I just think that stuff's too hard, might break your teeth. If you can avoid it in the future, better not eat them," Tang Rao said.

"Alright, Xiao Hei. Sheng Xuan will keep that in mind and won't forget," Li Shengxuan immediately replied.

Tang Rao rolled his eyes helplessly, always feeling that Li Shengxuan spoke in a strange way.

"Xiao Hei, is everything ready?" At this moment, a voice came through, followed by a sudden appearance of a figure in the courtyard—it was president Natasha.

Seeing Li Shengxuan next to Tang Rao, Natasha was slightly taken aback, then quickly furrowed her brows.

As for Li Shengxuan, she, too, looked at Natasha with some hostility.

The eyes of the two women met, giving off a feeling of tension.

"Boss!" Tang Rao immediately stepped forward a few paces to Natasha's side, "Let me explain."

Natasha glanced at Tang Rao, signaling him to explain.

Tang Rao didn't hide anything, and described the rough details of what happened.

Natasha also looked perplexed after listening.

Strange birds, strange Li Shengxuan, what in the world was going on.

"Believe it or not, that's how it is," Tang Rao spread his hands, looking helpless, "I can't do anything about it, she insists on following me and calling me her benefactor..."

Natasha glanced at Tang Rao and then at Li Shengxuan, and then saw the bird carcasses scattered all over the ground.

Clearly, they were brought down by Tang Rao.

As for the strange bird Tang Rao mentioned, it was there, plucked clean by Tang Rao, indeed very big.

"Well then, having one more person is just having one more person, it might liven things up a bit," Natasha didn't say much more. Li Shengxuan was very pretty, and though she seemed to have some hidden hostility towards her, Natasha didn't take it to heart, as she didn't sense any Spiritual Energy from Li Shengxuan and assumed she must be just an ordinary person.

Tang Rao didn't tell Natasha about Li Shengxuan munching on the strange bird's bones. If he had, Natasha might not think Li Shengxuan was just an ordinary person.

Just kidding, that strange bird may be dead, but the Spiritual Energy seeping out from its body was definitely of a combined-body level.

Combined-body level flying Spiritual Beasts are extremely rare, and their bones are definitely comparable to high-grade Spiritual Energy.

Eating it whole after chewing it up is just terrifying, okay?

Tang Rao prepared a lot of things, various types of kebabs and such, paired with beer and dipping sauce. Anyway, Natasha kept eating from evening until midnight.

Li Shengxuan also ate a lot, clinking beer glasses with Natasha, and by the end, they were arm in arm.

Tang Rao: "⊙０⊙"

No wonder they say women are unpredictable, previously the two were glaring at each other, and after a few drinks, they started chatting away happily.

In the end, both of them went to sleep, and as for Tang Rao, he was left to clean up the mess.

When it comes to messes, Tang Rao's style is to throw everything into a spare Space Ring in one go.

This spare Space Ring was filled with all sorts of trash.

After throwing things in, he just needed to find a suitable time to clean it out. Did you really expect me to wash dishes and wipe tables? Are you out of your mind? After all, I am an expert who has transcended tribulation, a celebrity of the Nine Realms and the Seventy-two Domains, how could I do such things?

After clearing up the leftovers and dirty table, Tang Rao opened the Space Ring that Natasha gave him.

Inside were all kinds of devices that Tang Rao had asked Natasha to buy.

Tang Rao casually picked a room and randomly assembled these weird devices, then went to bed.

The next morning, Tang Rao got up early; he never had the habit of sleeping in.

If you sleep until nine, by the time you brush your teeth, wash your face, and squat in the toilet, it's easy for it to be past ten, and then it's practically noon.

Over time you'll realize that your life actually has no morning!

"Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy!" In the courtyard, Tang Rao started moving his body, doing all sorts of strange exercises. There were gymnastics movements, yoga postures, and some exercises from Blue Star similar to Five-Animal Frolics... anyway, just doing whatever comes to mind.

"Xiao Hei, up so early, huh? Have you looked at what I gave you yesterday?" Natasha saw Tang Rao messing around in the yard and asked with a smile.

"I've looked at it. I set it up last night. Starting today, I'm going to start researching. I read the materials for the network transmitter you gave me, heh heh, it's actually pretty useful. At least, I've understood the external connection method of Illusion City, which is quite handy," Tang Rao bluffed.

"If it's useful, that's good. If you can replicate another Illusion City, I'll grant you a lifetime of inexhaustible wealth," Natasha said to Tang Rao.

"Boss, you jest. Having met you is already the greatest wealth of my life," Tang Rao remarked.

Natasha was startled for a moment, perhaps because she had never heard such words, her face suddenly turning somewhat red.

"Xiao Hei..." After half a minute of silence, Natasha suddenly called out to Tang Rao.

"What is it, boss?"

"About researching Illusion City for me, you mustn't reveal it to anyone, do you understand? Especially these three people." Natasha gave Tang Rao a serious look, then with a wave of her hand, the Grand Chairman's and two other presidents' faces appeared before Tang Rao.

Tang Rao was startled for a moment, then nodded.

"I understand, boss. You can count on me; I'm very tight-lipped," Tang Rao said with a smile.

"If they come over when I'm not around, just tell them that you are... you are my man," Natasha's face blushed.

Tang Rao was visibly excited.

"Don't get any wild ideas, this is just to ensure your safety," Natasha quickly explained.

"Oh, okay then," Tang Rao replied, looking somewhat disappointed and a little dejected.
