The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

But he didn't forget to throw the giant goose into the Space Ring.

"I'll save this giant goose for you to roast and eat when we get back, okay?"

Tang Rao gently stroked the part where the nine-ding snow beast was pecked and administered some medicine to her.

"Aow~"

It seemed like the nine-ding snow beast really enjoyed being touched by Tang Rao.

The moon grew rounder, and the surrounding area became colder.

The lashes on Tang Rao's eyelids froze into tiny icicles.

Why won't they acknowledge their master, why not yet?

What will Tang Rao do if more people arrive and he can't fight them?

One moment he was worried, the next moment it was like the saying, "you won't die if you don't court death" came true.

A group had timed their move perfectly.

It was only a fool who tried to act first, testing the Guardian.

Tang Rao encountered two fools, one being the giant goose and the other, the perverted bodybuilder.

The wind howled past, and Tang Rao saw at least seven or eight people.

These people came from various Sects.

Tang Rao, being from one Sect, didn't recognize any of the family members except for Xu Ruofei.

King You Lan was deceiving, almost causing Tang Rao's demise.

Seven or eight of them, all Immortal Emperors.

What on earth is this thing, why does everyone love it so much?

Tang Rao wanted to call out Xiao Hua to ask her, but it was too late. Seven or eight people surrounded Tang Rao, determined to take him down first.

Even after borrowing three Immortal Emperors from Xu Ruofei, they still couldn't win. With seven or eight Immortal Emperors, Tang Rao could only shout, "Farewell, Land of Immortals."

"Kid, although I don't know where you're from, we've long laid claim to the millennium iris. If you're wise, leave now. If not, don't blame us for being unkind!"

A man with a bushy beard said gruffly.

"I can't. I was mysteriously brought here and told to guard this little Hua Hua, or I'd be in danger. I see you're here to snatch it. Who among you will make the first move?"

Tang Rao's innocent expression immediately won everyone's favor.

As long as he wasn't trying to claim the millennium iris too, they didn't see him as an enemy.

"Right, who will take it?"

The eight people were all focused on getting rid of Tang Rao, forgetting there was only one iris to claim, and they all wanted it.

"Of course it's me. The millennium iris will only choose someone as talented as me, rare in the world."

The bearded man was shameless, using up all the words of praise.

"With your cowardly appearance, you dare say that?"

The bearded man's words were interrupted, and without a word, he swung his fist and started to fight.

In his eyes, strength always spoke through fists.

"Let me show you who truly deserves the millennium iris!"

By chance, the person he grabbed was the weakest, and after a few punches, the bearded man felt a wave of emptiness.

"Even trash dares to compete with me."

As if that insult wasn't enough, he managed to offend everyone else competing for the iris.

The remaining six didn't see Tang Rao as a threat but rather turned their attacks towards the bearded man.

"Fighting for the iris is one thing; talking nonsense is another."

The other six didn't seem like they came from dubious backgrounds. They cared a lot about reputation—what family doesn't take pride in it?

Six against one, the result was obvious; the bearded man was beaten to a pulp, not even leaving a whole body.

The combined strength of six was too overwhelming. At this point, they could easily pick someone to kill, but no one dared to start.

The first to act would be seen as a rule-breaker, and after defeating the enemy, those who hadn't broken the rules would also eliminate the rule-breaker.

Six people remained.

With two dead, the remaining six looked at each other.

For the millennium iris, would they really have to fight each other until the end before giving up?

"Brothers, we're all here for the iris, but there's only one flower. Since the legendary millennium iris chooses its master, why don't we just wait and let it decide?"

After all, no matter how strong someone might be, if the iris doesn't choose them, it doesn't matter.

"Agreed. It's better than fighting to our deaths."

The six quickly reached a decision.

Tang Rao was dumbfounded. Weren't they supposed to charge in and snatch the flower?

Why was the scenario King You Lan set up so different?

"Everyone, you're sitting here and must be cold. How about I give each of you a blanket?"

Tang Rao kindly asked, not knowing this question would save his life.

The six people did initially want to take Tang Rao out first before waiting for the iris, but on second thought, with Tang Rao alone, they didn't feel threatened.

Besides, this little guy looked naive, unlikely to pull off anything clever.

"Thank you, brother. We appreciate it."

Tang Rao took out six blankets from the Space Ring and handed them to the six, and it really wasn't as cold as before.

"You're welcome. You know I have a task to do. Before the iris chooses its master, I can't let you into the circle, but after that, feel free to do what you want."

Tang Rao's 'kindness' made the six view him without suspicion.

Time ticked by until the millennium iris started to tremble.

"The iris is awakening!"

"It's so beautiful!"

Everyone focused on the millennium iris.

The dew on the iris began to fall, and its intricate petals unfurled.

Little bean-like things dropped from within.

As the beans fell, the iris quickly withered.

Tang Rao suddenly understood.

It turned out that the iris chose its master through the beans, not by the flower itself.

Everyone lunged for the beans, but they bounced around, leaving the six unable to catch them.

All three beans jumped onto Tang Rao's hands and instantly disappeared into his palm.

"Huh, where did they go?"

Tang Rao saw the iris seeds jump onto Tang Rao's palm, but they vanished without a trace, leaving him with no sensation at all.

How could something so magical happen?

"It's you; you stole the iris seeds!"

One of the six suddenly realized.

At his shout, the others also shifted their animosity towards Tang Rao.

"I didn't; they just jumped onto my hand and disappeared!"

Tang Rao felt so wronged. It was something he didn't do, yet he was falsely accused by the six, making him feel awful inside.

So grievance, such big grievance.

"That's it then—the iris seeds have chosen you as their master. You, using the Guardian's name, stole the iris seeds. If there's a chance, you should hurry and return our registration fee!"
