The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

"Who are you?" Zhao Qingtian looked at Tang Rao and Li Shengxuan standing before him, his eyes full of wariness.

He had no idea how he ended up in this place, feeling wrapped in an immensely powerful force, completely unable to resist. In merely an instant, he appeared in this bizarre location.

Here, one could see everything outside, but it seemed to belong to a different space from the outside world.

"Vice-President, we finally meet. I've been thinking about you quite a lot," Tang Rao said with a smile, and as he spoke, he waved his hand and dispelled the Illusion Technique on his face, revealing his true appearance.

"It's you!" On seeing Tang Rao's face, Zhao Qingtian immediately shouted, "Tang Rao, it's you!"

Li Shengxuan also looked at Tang Rao in surprise, realizing that Xiao Hei had been using an Illusion Technique all along, which explained why he always seemed slightly off.

"Vice-President, no need to be so agitated. I know I'm handsome, I know I have a resounding reputation, with countless female fans. But, come on, you're just an old man, so please don't gross me out," Tang Rao said with a laugh.

Zhao Qingtian's brow furrowed slightly. This space was peculiar, and he had no clue what kind of place it was.

Besides a woman standing quietly by Tang Rao's side, there were no other Cultivators present.

To his knowledge, Tang Rao's strength was at most at the peak of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage to Half-step Great Perfection. Against him, Zhao Qingtian believed he had over a ninety percent chance of winning.

As for the woman beside him, there was no spiritual energy emanating from her, so perhaps, she was just an ordinary person.

"Mr. Tang, may I inquire as to why you have sought me out? Our Giant Merchant Star and your Moon have quite a pleasant partnership. If Mr. Tang has any other projects he wishes to collaborate on, we could find a tavern and have a good chat," Zhao Qingtian did not make a move, still unclear of Tang Rao's intentions; he preferred to wait and see.

"I heard that Cui Baiyi with his tens of millions of Death Energy Puppets plans to go to war with the Giant Merchant Star. Considering our alliance, I felt it necessary to offer my strength in support against the Soul Capture Pavilion," Tang Rao said.

Zhao Qingtian was slightly puzzled.

"I've already notified the Moon, calling upon fifty Cultivators of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage to gather at the Giant Merchant Star and follow your orders. Though the number is not large, in times like these, every bit of strength counts," Tang Rao continued.

"Mr. Tang truly has such nobility; I, Zhao Qingtian, am impressed. Rest assured, the kindness Mr. Tang shows toward the Giant Merchant Star will certainly be remembered. Once we repel Cui Baiyi and the Soul Capture Pavilion, the Giant Merchant Star will definitely thank Mr. Tang with generous gifts," Zhao Qingtian said with a clasped fist.

Of course, these were merely words on Zhao Qingtian's lips.

Tang Rao dispatching fifty Cultivators of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage had an unclear motive, but knowing this person's cunning, there was absolutely no chance he was simply here to help the Giant Merchant Star—this guy was definitely not that kindhearted.

"Mr. Tang, is there anything else? If not, I'll take my leave. With Cui Baiyi's attack imminent, I have many arrangements to make," Zhao Qingtian said.

"Many arrangements? Does that include the assassination of Natasha?" Tang Rao asked.

What!

Zhao Qingtian's complexion suddenly changed. The decision to kill Natasha was made only between him and his elder brother. How could Tang Rao know about it?

Could it be that Tang Rao overheard their conversation?

Impossible, the four Presidents were all at the Half-step Great Perfection stage. If Tang Rao eavesdropped, there was no way he could do so undetected by all four of them.

Could it be this peculiar space?

Zhao Qingtian also noticed that outside this strange space, there was a continuous stream of people coming and going, but as they conversed here, not a single person took any notice.

Go!

Zhao Qingtian didn't say a word, just launched a punch, trying to leave the folded four-dimensional space.

However, to Zhao Qingtian's amazement, his all-out punch failed to stir even the slightest ripple. There was no sound, no disturbance in the space; it was as if an ordinary person had swung a punch into the air.

"Second president, I advise you, don't waste your effort. You can't get out; this is a folded four-dimensional space, an illusory world," Tang Rao said with an air of expertise, completely borrowing the words Li Shengxuan had used earlier.

"Mr. Tang, I indeed have many matters to attend to and cannot afford to linger here. As for Natasha's matter, it's an internal affair of Giant Merchant Star, and Mr. Tang needn't worry about it," Zhao Qingtian said.

"Hmph, unrepentant and plotting against Sister Natasha, I will kill you now!" Li Shengxuan became furious upon hearing Zhao Qingtian's words.

"Xiao Xuanxuan, don't be rash, let's talk to him nicely. We should reform him, subdue him, all this fighting and killing is ultimately not good," Tang Rao said, holding back Li Shengxuan, speaking with grave concern.

Li Shengxuan looked at Tang Rao, then nodded her head: "Okay, Xiao Hei, my benefactor."

Tang Rao felt that if Li Shengxuan were a bit shorter and cuter, she would be the perfect loli material.

It's a pity, Li Shengxuan is over 1.7 meters tall, and she looks so coldly beautiful… although her personality is not cold at all.

"Second president, let me tell you the truth, the relationship between Natasha and me is quite deep. I cannot agree to you killing her," Tang Rao said facing Zhao Qingtian.

Hearing Tang Rao's words, Zhao Qingtian's heart skipped a beat – Natasha has a relationship with Tang Rao? Hmph, in that case, this woman deserves to die even more!

"So that's how it is, since Natasha has a connection with Mr. Tang, of course, we will respect Mr. Tang Rao's wishes. Rest assured, Mr. Tang, I will speak with the Grand Chairman about this, and we won't trouble Natasha further," Zhao Qingtian immediately said, thinking it was better to feign subservience at this moment.

In this bizarre space, he was utterly unable to utilize his strength.

Moreover, the woman by Tang Rao's side seemed not simple either.

"But I don't trust you," Tang Rao shook his head.

Zhao Qingtian: "…"

"Well, let me give you a choice, if you choose correctly, we'll all be happy; if you choose wrongly, then sorry, for Natasha's safety, you'll have to report to the underworld," Tang Rao said.

Zhao Qingtian's forehead throbbed with veins. Tang Rao, who do you think you are? Having the audacity to give me a choice!

Although Zhao Qingtian was so furious he was nearly crazed, in the end, he held it in.

"Please speak, Mr. Tang."

"It's simple, choose one of two: either swear loyalty to me via the Heavenly Dao oath and offer up your soul contract, or I'll kill you and bury you," Tang Rao said nonchalantly, spreading his hands.

Since he couldn't bear to harm Natasha, then switching to someone else seemed fair. With a little demon like Li Shengxuan at hand, forcing Zhao Qingtian into submission was not a bad strategy.

Zhao Qingtian's eyes flashed with surging rage.

What a joke, I, the second president of Giant Merchant Star, submit to you, Tang Rao? Who do you think you are? Do you really see yourself as somebody significant? In my eyes, in the eyes of us from Giant Merchant Star, you're nothing but a jumping clown!
