Chapter 609: Your Habits Are So Strange
Tang Rao helped Natasha with a massage for over half an hour, and eventually, Natasha fell asleep, breathing evenly.
It seemed she was truly exhausted.
After covering Natasha with a blanket, Tang Rao went back to twisting his waist, hips, and neck.
"Xiao Hei's benefactor, are you guys done?" Just as Tang Rao had started twisting, Li Shengxuan's door opened, and her head peeped out, whispering.
"Done?" Tang Rao looked at Li Shengxuan curiously, those two words were quite intriguing.
"Yes, Sister Natasha was moaning so loud it was embarrassing. But your customs here are really strange, why don't you do these intimate things in the room instead of out in broad daylight?" Li Shengxuan asked, her face full of curiosity.
Tang Rao: "..."
"What the heck are you thinking about? Natasha was very tired from fighting all night. I was just giving her a massage." Tang Rao said.
Li Shengxuan looked even more curious.
"Can a massage make someone moan so vigorously?"
Tang Rao: "…"
"All right, I'll take you out for some fun, wanna go?" Tang Rao motioned to Li Shengxuan with a crooked finger.
"Sure." Li Shengxuan immediately nodded, quickly running to Tang Rao's side.
Without further ado, Tang Rao took Li Shengxuan and left the courtyard.
...
Of course, the Soul Capture Pavilion didn't breach Giant Merchant Star; in fact, they didn't even touch Giant Merchant Star's Defense Array.
A battle between two superpowers definitely isn't something that can be resolved overnight.
"Xiao Hei's benefactor, where are we going?" An hour later, Li Shengxuan spoke.
"I'm taking you to meet someone." Tang Rao said with a smile, "Once we meet that person, don't say anything or do anything, just stand and watch."
"Okay, I thought you were really taking me for some fun." Li Shengxuan muttered, seemingly a bit disappointed.
Tang Rao didn't explain further but took Li Shengxuan to the outskirts of Giant Merchant Star, near the Defense Array.
Typically, this kind of formation is to prevent entry but not exit. Thus, Tang Rao didn't expend much effort, and after avoiding a few Giant Merchant Star cultivators on patrol, they left the perimeter of the Defense Array.
At this point, the two sides had temporarily ceased fighting, but the air was filled with the smell of blood, clearly indicating that a fierce battle had occurred here the previous night.
Even Natasha was completely exhausted, which shows how intense the attack from the Soul Capture Pavilion had been.
But Tang Rao had already ordered Jiu Zhikong, who was in hiding, to keep the three million Death Energy Puppets under his control at the back and not rush up front to die.
Tang Rao wasn't worried about Cui Baiyi getting suspicious, jokingly thinking, with tens of millions in a chaotic battle, who could tell who was who.
"Xiao Hei's benefactor, are we going into that Soul Capture Pavilion?" Li Shengxuan asked.
"Yes." Tang Rao nodded.
"But, don't you have a grudge against this Soul Capture Pavilion? Won't they attack you if they discover you?" Li Shengxuan asked.
"Xiao Xuanxuan, remember this, when your enemy is too powerful, you must learn to maneuver around. Don't rush into revenge, in fact, you need to build good relations with your enemy, let them trust you. Stabbing them from behind is much more effective than confronting them face-to-face." Tang Rao told Li Shengxuan.
Li Shengxuan blinked at Tang Rao and finally nodded, indicating she remembered.
Tang Rao's entry into the Soul Capture Pavilion battle array didn't raise anyone's awareness, since there were so many people and Tang Rao had used an Illusion Technique on his face, making it hard to tell who was who.
After dodging the perimeter's Death Energy Puppets, it was essentially smooth sailing.
For Tang Rao, avoiding the detection of the Death Energy Puppets was far too easy.
It took Tang Rao about half an hour to finally find out where Dong Xia was staying.
For powerful cultivators, creating a floating residence was no difficult task. Dong Xia's residence was located in the eastern part of the entire battle array. Perhaps knowing that Tang Rao would come, Dong Xia had deliberately stayed away from the central area where Cui Baiyi lived.
Dong Xia's residence looked very simple and was not very big. If it were just for a few people, it would even be considered spacious.
There were no guards outside the door. Tang Rao stood at the entrance for a few seconds before pushing the door open with Li Shengxuan.
In the courtyard, Dong Xia was sitting, facing the courtyard door.
Seeing Tang Rao, Dong Xia's face brightened with a smile, then she waved her hand.
Tang Rao stood outside for a few seconds to let Dong Xia notice him and then disable the restrictions on the door.
If he had pushed the door directly just now, he would definitely have been blasted by the restrictions.
"Come... come and sit." Dong Xia waved Tang Rao over.
Tang Rao didn't stand on ceremony. After walking over, he directly pulled over a stone stool and sat down.
As for Li Shengxuan, who had been following Tang Rao, she looked at Tang Rao and then Dong Xia, and then, imitating Tang Rao, she pulled over a stone stool and sat down.
Dong Xia looked at Li Shengxuan and frowned slightly, this woman, she had never seen before.
It seemed she had never appeared beside Tang Rao before; who was she? What were her origins? There was absolutely no trace of Spiritual Energy on her body, as if she were just an ordinary person.
But deep down, Dong Xia felt this woman was not that simple.
"Let me introduce, this is Li Shengxuan. I kind of saved her before, and now she follows me around, acting as my little assistant," Tang Rao pointed at Li Shengxuan and said.
Li Shengxuan carried out Tang Rao's command fully and nodded towards Dong Xia without saying a word.
With Li Shengxuan not speaking, Dong Xia didn't say much either, but turned to look at Tang Rao.
"This war, it was all initiated by Cui Baiyi. Millions of Death Energy Puppets, as for why he decided to go against Giant Merchant Star directly, I'm not quite sure," Dong Xia said.
"I understand why, because Emperor Zhao Diman has the same ambitions as Cui Baiyi," Tang Rao said.
"You think they plotted this together?" Dong Xia immediately understood Tang Rao's implication.
"Otherwise, what? Do you really think wars just break out suddenly? Nothing in this world happens without a reason, as long as you think carefully, you can always find the cause," Tang Rao said with a smile.
"So, what are you planning to do?" Dong Xia asked.
"Watch the drama. What else can I do? This is a fight between gods, why should I poke my nose into it?" Tang Rao shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Anyway, I don't feel like dealing with these matters anymore, let it be."
"How can you not care!"
"Why should I care?" Tang Rao looked at Dong Xia, "My priority now is to improve my strength. I don't have much time left, Xue Xing is no easy opponent, who knows when he'll make a move, right?"
Dong Xia frowned slightly, seemingly somewhat displeased.
"I came to see you this time, actually without any important matters. Just wanted to tell you, if you have something to say, just say it clearly, don't hide and drag things out with me, it's pointless. As a cultivator of Great Perfection, do you really need to play like this with me?" Tang Rao stared intently at Dong Xia.
