The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Yan Wei felt somewhat puzzled by Tang Rao's decision.

What was the point of stationing their people on Giant Merchant Star? To stir up trouble?

Indeed, the war between Giant Merchant Star and Soul Capture Pavilion was good news for them, but it didn't seem to yield direct benefits. Even sending over Cultivators close to the Great Perfection stage wouldn't bring any actual advantages.

On the contrary, it might lead to unnecessary losses.

"I'll have them support Giant Merchant Star," Tang Rao said. "I hope this turns into a war of attrition. If Giant Merchant Star fails to hold up, that wouldn't be good for us."

"You're right to think so, but ultimately, Giant Merchant Star will still become an enemy. You need to handle this balance carefully," Yan Wei reminded him.

"Whether they'll become an enemy depends on the future. What if I end up controlling Giant Merchant Star? Then they won't be an enemy, right?" Tang Rao said with a smile, showing his teeth.

In the Moon Control Room, Yan Wei was utterly incredulous. Well, he had to admit, Tang Rao certainly thought bigger than they did.

But controlling Giant Merchant Star could be just as difficult, if not more so, than overthrowing it.

"Besides sending people there, we need to step up our efforts with Fat Bear. Such events will make many Cultivators take sides, so we need to strengthen our appeal. Also, the Illusion City can be opened now, and we need to speed things up at the gambling house. Since there is a war, let's offer gambling on the war," Tang Rao quickly stated.

"Don't worry, I've got it under control," Yan Wei nodded, cutting the communication after a few minutes of silence. The war between Soul Capture Pavilion and Giant Merchant Star was indeed a golden opportunity.

It might just trigger and intensify all the grudges and strategies that had been laid out.

Although, for the time being, they were not in a position to confront Giant Merchant Star or Soul Capture Pavilion head-on, with the tide of war, who could say for sure?

"Let's focus on making the most of this opportunity. If we do well, our Moon Base might even replace Giant Merchant Star and Soul Capture Pavilion," Tang Rao said, chuckling.

"By that time, you'll be leaving, right?" Yan Wei suddenly asked.

Tang Rao fell silent.

"I'm off to work." After a few minutes of silence, Yan Wei cut off the communication.

Tang Rao let out a heavy sigh. To protect the safety of Blue Star and for the base on the Moon, he had indeed racked his brains.

But as Yan Wei said, once the Moon Base was fully established, it would be time for him to leave.

Ajiu's whereabouts had already been reported; Dong Xia said that Ajiu had been taken away by people of the Immortal Realm. To find Ajiu, he might need to enter the Land of Immortals.

"Alright, let's deal with the matters at hand first," Tang Rao smirked. Thinking about the Land of Immortals was premature. Right now, at best he could overthrow those at the peak of crossing tribulation, and it would be a bitter fight against those at Half-step Great Perfection. There was still a long way to reach the Great Perfection.

"Xiao Xuanxuan, come out," Tang Rao called out loudly.

As soon as Tang Rao's call ended, Li Shengxuan hurried out.

"Benefactor, do you have any tasks for me?" Li Shengxuan asked.

"Come, let's go protect Sister Natasha," Tang Rao said, smiling.

"Is someone trying to harm Sister Natasha? Is it that man with the scarred face?" Li Shengxuan asked.

Tang Rao rolled his eyes; you're still bringing up that scar-faced man...

"Whoever it is, let's go!"

"Alright, Xiao Hei Benefactor, let's go!" Li Shengxuan, following Tang Rao's lead, took long strides and swung her arms with vigor.

...

Tang Rao didn't specifically track Natasha but took Li Shengxuan directly to the eastern district of Giant Merchant Star.

The eastern district was the core area of Giant Merchant Star, where the four presidents would likely gather to discuss the defense against Soul Capture Pavilion.

"Wow, Xiao Hei Benefactor, this place is so bustling, it has everything," Li Shengxuan reached the core area of the eastern district, captivated by the surrounding array of objects, hardly able to move anymore.

Tang Rao rolled his eyes. Sure enough, women are all the same.

Wandering the streets and can't seem to walk anymore.

"Xiao Xuanxuan, can you find Sister Natasha?" Tang Rao asked.

"Yes, Xiao Hei benefactor, I can find her." Upon hearing Tang Rao speak, Li Shengxuan immediately became serious. It seems that, in her heart, Tang Rao's orders were just a bit more important than shopping.

This made Tang Rao feel incredibly assured; when a woman feels that you are more important than shopping, you've truly etched yourself into her soul.

"Alright, then you lead the way. Let's find her, but let's not get noticed." Tang Rao said, reaching out and taking Li Shengxuan's hand.

Feeling Tang Rao grab her hand, Li Shengxuan's body stiffened slightly, and her beautiful face flushed red.

"Okay, Xiao Hei benefactor." After a few seconds, Li Shengxuan finally responded and nodded heavily.

Bang!

The next moment, Tang Rao felt his head explode with a loud noise.

All around was nothingness, as if passing through another space. Yet Tang Rao knew this was not a space rift.

Indeed, from the Land of Immortals.

Tang Rao looked at Li Shengxuan, slightly squinting his eyes. At this moment, the skills Li Shengxuan exhibited and the barely concealed Immortal Power erupting from her confirmed she was from that place.

But how exactly did she come here?

The Land of Immortals is inaccessible to the Nine Realms and the Seventy-two Domains. If one could come and go as they please, the Nine Realms and the Seventy-two Domains would have been thrown into chaos long ago.

Who are the people from the Land of Immortals? Just any one of them would be at the Immortal Realm, would there still be room for those at Great Perfection to strut around? Don't even think about it.

"Xiao Hei benefactor, we're here," Li Shengxuan's voice rang out.

Tang Rao was stunned. They were still in that peculiar separate space, but they could clearly see Natasha and three other presidents of the Giant Merchant Star outside the space.

"Will we not be discovered here?" Tang Rao asked, surprised.

"No, this is a fold. Whatever we do here, we won't be discovered," Li Shengxuan said.

"Fold?" Tang Rao expressed his confusion.

"Yep, it's a transient separate four-dimensional space formed by folding space and time. Although we can see them, in principle, we're actually still on the main street, in the same spot, without any movement. This is the dimensional difference between three and four dimensions..."

Tang Rao had absolutely no clue what Li Shengxuan was saying, completely baffled.

"Let's just watch," Tang Rao interrupted Li Shengxuan, thinking, you could explain all day and I wouldn't understand. Better not to explain.

The more you explain, the more incompetent I feel.

"Okay, Xiao Hei benefactor," Li Shengxuan nodded and then closed her mouth.

...

"Big brother, from the look of it, that idiot Cui Baiyi is sick of living, we should just straight up kill him!" Zhao Chongxiao, pounding the table, shouted loudly, looking eager to turn heaven and earth upside down.

"Lao San, listen to big brother and stop babbling," the second president frowned and said to Zhao Chongxiao.

"Second brother, we need to push back on this. They've come at us right to our faces," Zhao Chongxiao huffed, seeming very annoyed with the second president.

"Zhao Chongxiao, can't you use your brain a bit when you do things? Always fighting, fight you!"

"Damn it, Zhao Qingtian, my mom isn't your mom, you're the one with no brains!"
