The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

"Good thing?!" Emperor Zhao roared at Zhao Chongxiao, "You fool, you've lived for over a hundred years, can't you grow a brain!"

Zhao Chongxiao felt very uncomfortable being cursed at by Emperor Zhao like that.

However, he didn't talk back to Emperor Zhao, as his brother was clearly fuming, and truly angering him was no trivial matter.

Even though Zhao Chongxiao was impulsive and lacked a clever and nimble brain, he still had basic judgment abilities. He had been brothers with Emperor Zhao for many years and knew something about Emperor Zhao's temperament.

He normally seemed patient and calm, but once he lost his temper, absolutely no one could stop him.

"Qing Tian, do you know who did it?" Emperor Zhao looked towards Zhao Qingtian.

Zhao Qingtian looked back at Emperor Zhao, and in his heart, he had already faintly guessed that Tang Rao was behind it. But now he had become Tang Rao's lapdog, naturally he had to consider Tang Rao's interests.

Otherwise, Heavenly Dao would show no mercy.

"I'm not sure about this matter either, we were all fighting with the experts from Soul Capture Pavilion at the main battlefield." Zhao Qingtian shook his head and said.

"Aren't you in charge of intelligence? You know nothing, what a waste!" Emperor Zhao cursed angrily.

There was no helping it; Emperor Zhao just couldn't contain the fury in his heart.

No matter who did it, this mess had completely smeared the face of Giant Merchant Star. Usually, it's an unwritten rule that experts combat other experts.

On one hand, this reduces the variables in war, and on the other, it prevents high-level cultivators from ruthlessly slaughtering low-level cultivators.

But now, someone had killed six transcendent cultivators at the peak of tribulation crossing from Soul Capture Pavilion, and they did it on a low-level battlefield, too. This would definitely infuriate Soul Capture Pavilion and Cui Baiyi. Once the experts versus experts rule was broken, the situation would truly become uncontrollable.

What Emperor Zhao had in mind was the position of President; he didn't want the situation to spiral out of control at all.

"Buzz..." Just then, Emperor Zhao's Illusion City received a call request.

Emperor Zhao glanced at it, and sure enough, it was Cui Baiyi.

After thinking for a moment, Emperor Zhao still answered the call.

"Emperor Zhao, what the hell do you mean?!" As soon as the call connected, Judge Cui's roar came through.

"Judge Cui, about this matter, if I say it's not Giant Merchant Star's doing, would you believe me?" Emperor Zhao said.

"What a joke!" Cui Baiyi spat out, "Emperor Zhao, I'm telling you, if you want to mess around, then don't blame me, Cui Baiyi, for causing chaos. The six transcendent cultivators at the peak of tribulation crossing who died, they were all my men, all cultivators that I was focusing on nurturing."

"I'm also investigating this matter, but I can tell you responsibly, it's definitely not the doing of Giant Merchant Star. The four presidents of Giant Merchant Star have all been at the main battlefield and never left." Emperor Zhao explained.

"Don't give me that nonsense. Since you want to stir up trouble, then I'll just play along." Cui Baiyi completely dismissed Emperor Zhao's explanation.

"Cui Baiyi, can you calm the hell down! Something like this, there's no benefit to Giant Merchant Star, why the hell would I do it?" Emperor Zhao got angry too, Cui Baiyi, you're so arrogant.

Am I, Emperor Zhao, really afraid of you?

"Either send six transcendent cultivators at the peak of tribulation crossing for me to kill, or, let's go big!" Cui Baiyi was straightforward, giving Emperor Zhao a choice.

Emperor Zhao gave a sarcastic laugh. Cui Baiyi, do you really think I, Emperor Zhao, am that easy to bully?

Sending six transcendent cultivators at the peak of tribulation crossing for you to kill, have you got brains of a pig's ass.

"Go big, is it? Come on then!" Emperor Zhao roared and directly shut off the Illusion City.

The two had always been adversaries, and this time they cooperated merely because they shared the same ambition. But such cooperation was ultimately too fragile and would break as soon as any conflict arose.

And that was precisely why Tang Rao would do such a thing.

Chaos is just what we need.

"President, there's trouble!" Less than two minutes after Zhao Diman disconnected from Illusion City, an anxious voice came from outside.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Diman asked loudly.

"Cui Baiyi has gone mad, he is killing our Cultivators like a lunatic. Already over a thousand people have been slain by him, Grand Chairman, you, you should go take a look," the guard outside shouted.

"Damn it!" Zhao Diman cursed, not anticipating that Cui Baiyi would be so treacherous as to start his attack immediately.

"Let's go!" Without a second thought, Zhao Diman slapped the table, stood up, and left the conference room directly.

In the conference room, Zhao Qingtian, Zhao Chongxiao, and Natasha could only tear open a Space Rift to follow, as orders from Zhao Diman had been given, and failing to keep up could potentially infuriate him.

At this moment, Zhao Diman was already somewhat furious.

...

As for Tang Rao, after completing his sneaky deed, he returned to Natasha's courtyard to bask in the sun and enjoy the breeze, occasionally taking up a hunting rifle to shoot at birds, basically a picture of utter boredom.

Li Shengxuan seemed a bit odd, her mental state seemed to have changed after returning from outside, saying only one sentence to Tang Rao before taking a rest.

She didn't even come out for meals.

Tang Rao didn't bother Li Shengxuan and made himself something to eat to fill his stomach.

Natasha returned the next morning, just as exhausted as the day before, came back and immediately claimed Tang Rao's lounge chair and fell asleep in seconds.

Tang Rao initially wanted to give Natasha a massage but didn't get the chance.

Of course, saying it was for Natasha, it was also for himself to indulge in the pleasure of the touch.

What's the matter? Can I, as a fledgling, not find a beauty to get a little advantage from?

Close to noon, Natasha finally woke up, and Li Shengxuan also came out of her room, back to her usual self.

Wondering why Li Shengxuan was not in good spirits yesterday, Tang Rao couldn't quite guess. Perhaps she recalled something about the Land of Immortals?

"Xiao Hei, I'm hungry."

"Benefactor Xiao Hei, I'm hungry!"

Natasha and Li Shengxuan almost said it in unison.

Tang Rao: "..."

Why do I feel like I've become a Chef, oh my God.

Of course, for Tang Rao, whipping up something to eat was no trouble at all. His Space Ring was filled with plenty of food, enough to last for years.

This meal, Tang Rao didn't prepare Hot Pot or barbecue, as having it every day would be boring. He made several bowls of beef glass noodle soup instead, with fresh beef and chewy glass noodles, topped with cilantro, sesame oil, and vinegar, the flavor was quite superb.

Li Shengxuan ate four bowls, Natasha ate six...

"Xiao Hei, I must say, your cooking skills are really impressive. It's a pity if you don't become a Chef. If you were to be a Chef in the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains, you would definitely be at the level of a Culinary God," Natasha said contentedly, leaning back in the lounge chair, speaking to Tang Rao.

"You're joking, I'm a scientist, cooking is just a hobby," Tang Rao snorted, his vision blurred as he ate instant noodles.

The beef and glass noodles had all been eaten by the two ladies, and he was left with just a sip of the soup.
