The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

"Is that what it means?" Fang Jinxiu asked again.

"Probably, that's what it means. I'm not trying to act impulsively, it's just that I feel a bit odd. Shengxuan's current state, although there's nothing wrong, I can't feel anything right either," Tang Rao said.

"I'm not really sure about that, since it's something between the two of you. But since you're asking, I'll speak from my perspective. Anyway, I think if there's no problem with feelings and the body, this kind of situation shouldn't arise. As the saying goes, if a woman opens her legs for you once, she'll open them a second time. Of course, there might be some artistic types who say there's a problem in the world called: when you don't love me, I love you; when you love me, I no longer want to love you. But I think Shengxuan isn't such a person. She's neither a green tea bitch nor flirtatious like Qian Qian," Fang Jinxiu spoke very candidly, making Tang Rao almost blush.

"Then why is it like this?" Tang Rao asked again.

"I don't know. Why don't you ask her?" Li Shengxuan rolled her eyes at Tang Rao.

"Honestly, I'm really embarrassed to ask," Tang Rao pouted.

He and Li Shengxuan weren't old married couples, not even in a proper relationship. The initial spark was mainly due to a moment of pleasure.

"Trashy!" Fang Jinxiu flipped the bird at Tang Rao.

Tang Rao: "..."

"Alright, stop overthinking. If you're a man, just ask her directly. Of course, if we've been intimate and if there's no problem with feelings and the body, I'd be willing to 'hey' with you every day," Fang Jinxiu said.

Tang Rao's face turned dark.

Damn, dealing with such women, for us novices, is indeed maddening, far beyond what experienced drivers can handle.

"But you don't seem interested in me, it's really a pity. You're the only man I've ever wanted... What a shame, tsk tsk tsk..." Fang Jinxiu continued.

Anyway, Tang Rao was utterly despairing.

If you were a bit uglier, I could just take it as a joke; but the problem is you're explosively beautiful, specifically, the most beautiful woman I know. Saying things like that really stings my poor heart.

In reality, this touches upon a man's psychology.

It's like you're married, and then the college belle approaches you. She's stunningly beautiful, enough to make hearts race. She confesses she likes you and wants a relationship beyond friendship. But given that you're married, she just wants to be friends.

Thus, you have a college belle-level friend who can accompany you to bed at any time.

Don't tell me you'd always stop at propriety.

Ninety-nine percent of men, facing such a situation, would secretly ponder each day, eventually ending up, someday, at some hotel, in some luxury bedroom, performing a spectacular battle of fairies with this college belle-level friend.

"Alright, it's getting late, I'm going to rest. You should go to bed early too, stop pretending to be a literary youth in the courtyard, you're not cut out for that." Fang Jinxiu patted Tang Rao's shoulder and stepped away.

It wasn't until Fang Jinxiu left that Tang Rao let out a heavy breath.

Encountering such a woman, truly uncertain whether it's a blessing or a curse.

"Forget it, a badass will definitely have a badass and complicated love life. Don't think about it, whatever!" A few minutes later, Tang Rao waved his hand, putting these thoughts aside.

Better focus on the Sect Exchange Conference for now.

This Sect Exchange Conference is the best opportunity for Kao Shan Sect to rise. It's also a great chance to reshape Kao Shan Sect's image, to step into the ranks of active sects. Everything hinges on this exchange conference.

Tang Rao isn't afraid of danger, nor other sects eyeing them fiercely.

As the saying goes, fortune is found amid danger, snatching resources is crucial. Without danger, where would opportunities come from? Tang Rao doesn't believe that by sitting back, Kao Shan Sect will become a super Great Sect—it's simply impossible.

Any sect that wants to grow must fight for it.

Resources are limited; if you want to become strong, you must capture a share from others.

Even advocating cooperation follows the same logic. In cooperation, the party holding the biggest advantage is always the stronger one.

...

The next morning, Tang Rao set off with his team.

The location for this Sect Exchange Conference is at the southwestern Ten Thousand Buddha Temple.

As a top superpower, Ten Thousand Buddha Temple has enough prestige to host the Sect Exchange Conference. Various forces from the Land of Immortals will gather at Ten Thousand Buddha Temple and commence the exchange conference.

To keep it simple, the number of participants for the Sect Exchange Conference is regulated. Each sect can only have up to ten people, and they can select the best candidates.

For those beyond ten, unfortunately, they can't even enter the gates of Ten Thousand Buddha Temple.

This is actually a kind of management mechanism.

The Sect Exchange Conference sees thousands of sects and forces, large and small. If numbers weren't limited, even a massive place like Ten Thousand Buddha Temple couldn't handle so many people.

Ten people per force is just the right amount.

"Tang Rao, I'm sorry." Having left Kao Shan Sect for half a day, Xiao Yun was still apologizing for yesterday's incident. She felt guilty for her chaos yesterday.

If Tang Rao hadn't dodged at the last moment, they'd be holding his funeral now.

"What's the use of apologizing? You need to reflect seriously. Tell me, what was your mistake?" Tang Rao asked.

"I shouldn't have used such reckless methods on you, shouldn't have fought so desperately..." Xiao Yun said.

"That's not right. Keep reflecting!" Tang Rao snorted.

"What's wrong with it? I've already admitted my mistake. What more do you want? I was out of line yesterday, but that's because you were too irritating, too outrageous," Xiao Yun pouted.

"I've never blamed you for being aggressive. If I choose to fight with you, I'm prepared to fail, even to be killed. My anger isn't because you used life-threatening tactics; it's because you couldn't control your emotions. Slightly provoked by me, your brain stops working. When fighting me, was that a battle? Damn it, you were like a mad dog biting randomly, completely lacking any formality. When fighting someone, the most important thing is to keep a clear head." Tang Rao pointed at Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun pouted, but didn't argue.

Because Tang Rao was right. If she had controlled her emotions and fought calmly, the outcome of yesterday's fight with Tang Rao might have been different. Their strength should be about equal.

But she got provoked, so even using risky tactics she still lost.
