The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Registration fee?

Tang Rao was completely bewildered.

"What registration fee?"

If Tang Rao had received the money, he might have understood, but the money wasn't collected by him. His curiosity peaked, making him very uncomfortable.

"Do you think just anyone is qualified to compete for the Millennium Youlan?"

A delicate-featured person stepped forward, expressing his dissatisfaction.

"We all paid to get in for a chance. If anyone could enter, wouldn't those trying to grab the Millennium Youlan end up occupying this entire grassland?"

Yet, Tang Rao still couldn't understand.

"Alright, isn't it just a few Immortal Stones? I'll return them to you all, isn't that enough?"

Arguing over a few Immortal Stones here, is it really worth it?

King You Lan popped up out of nowhere.

"Father-in-law, what kind of game is this? This place is yours, yet you let me be the Guardian and risk my life?"

Tang Rao was displeased. If you had given him a decent job, he'd happily thank you. But asking him to risk his life while you make money on the side—

Tang Rao couldn't stand it.

"Tang Rao, it's all for your own good. Look, the Iris seeds didn't seek anyone else out, just you. Can you believe whose credit that is?"

Did King You Lan's words actually make sense?

"Each of us has got a billion Immortal Stones to return to us. You're a fraud, a big fraud!"

Six people united in indignation, gathering their anger.

Looks like it would take a confrontation to calm this fury.

"These Immortal Stones are gifts for my good son-in-law. Don't even think about it. The Millennium Youlan didn't come to you because your abilities are lacking. You can come back next time!"

King You Lan's words were definitive, no more to be said.

"The dignified King You Lan, resorting to such disgraceful acts, is simply embarrassing us. Return the Immortal Stones. If you don't return them today, we'll take action!"

The delicate-featured young man seemed innocent, but how did he suddenly become a villain?

Tang Rao wanted to advise them to be harmonious, but upon hearing that the billions of Immortal Stones were meant for him, his spirits lifted.

"You've already entered. If the small beans didn't choose you, you start acting unfairly. When you buy a lottery ticket and don't win, does the lottery company refund you?"

Though he didn't know what the lottery was, if it came from Lu Ziqian's mouth, it couldn't be anything good.

"Hurry and leave, we're not refunding this money."

Pfft, King You Lan couldn't help but laugh.

"My good son-in-law, you need to curb your greed sometimes, or people will laugh at you."

King You Lan didn't know if Tang Rao had any Immortal Stones, thinking Kao Shan Sect had just started and figuring he'd help out by finding him some extra resources to help the sect develop.

"Dear Father-in-law, when you asked me to be a Guardian, and I risked my life, why didn't you say a kind word to comfort me?"

Lu Ziqian felt wronged too.

"Argue back at home if you must, but first return our Immortal Stones!"

A billion Immortal Stones isn't a small amount; it could be everything they own in their lifetime.

"I already said I won't return them. Call again, and I'll hit you!"

As long as the money is said to be for Tang Rao, whether or not it's in his pocket, it belongs to Tang Rao for all eternity, and no one can take it from him.

"Go, let's teach these ungrateful folks a lesson today."

They must have eaten a leopard's gall to dare such a thing.

Tang Rao was a little apprehensive, unlike King You Lan, who was itching for a reason to deal with the bunch. Now he had one.

"Tang Rao, you take one, I'll take five. Eliminate them, so they stop their chatter!"

If news of his shady dealings got out, how would King You Lan continue his business in the future?

"Father-in-law, is it really okay for us to do this? How about you take all of them, and I won't intervene?"

If these families sought revenge on Tang Rao, even with ten mouths, he couldn't explain it away.

"You brat, I regret marrying my daughter to you. You're so cowardly."

Hmph.

King You Lan snorted and didn't want to talk to Tang Rao anymore.

"Isn't it just a fight? I'll step in!"

With that, Tang Rao flew into the crowd, engaging in close combat.

The family Immortal Emperors were mediocre, not even as good as the three who borrowed from Xu Ruofei to spar with Tang Rao that day.

In a few moves, Tang Rao had already taken down two.

The remaining four were getting entangled with King You Lan.

King You Lan didn't even bother to counterattack, letting them hit until they were satisfied. Then he instantly transformed into a devil, using some unknown force to trap all four, giving them no chance to escape.

"Trying to act like wealthy folks without money? Die!"

Suddenly, heaven and earth changed, the whole grassland filled with a murderous aura.

"Such is the lesson for asking me to return money."

King You Lan clapped his hands and acted as if nothing had happened.

"Father-in-law, did I perform well just now? Uh... shouldn't I get some reward?"

Tang Rao's scheming wasn't new. He held out his hands, waiting for King You Lan to give him the reward.

"The eight billion Immortal Stones are inside, go ahead and count them. Those three already bonded Millennium Youlan are yours now!"

King You Lan handed a Space Ring to Tang Rao. Tang Rao opened it and indeed found eight billion, not one piece missing.

"Magnificent Father-in-law, truly the one I respect, such generosity not everyone could match!"

He almost praised King You Lan to the skies, and seeing him so happy, Tang Rao counted that as his win.

"That's right, I did say I'm much more generous than your stingy Grandmaster!"

Sure enough, King You Lan nearly lost himself in Tang Rao's compliments.

"By the way, father-in-law, you still haven't told me what the Millennium Youlan is for. Just three little beans, what are they for?"

The little beans had already disappeared from Tang Rao's palm, and asking now wouldn't help.

"The Millennium Youlan has countless benefits; I can't explain it all at once. You'll find out gradually over time."

He was tantalizing Tang Rao a bit. Once Tang Rao realized it, he'd properly thank King You Lan for this favor.

"You're the boss, whatever you say goes."

If he wasn't going to say, Tang Rao could just ask Little Fire Ginseng when he got back.

Little Fire Ginseng was Tang Rao's fountain of knowledge, with nothing he didn't know about.

Once the Millennium Youlan withers, the red soil gradually turned back to its normal color.

Apart from the bodies lying on the ground, it seemed as if nothing had happened on the green grassland.

Tang Rao returned to Kao Shan Sect with doubts. He wanted to tell Chen Tuan about today, but he feared Chen Tuan would think he's favoring King You Lan, and his jealousy would be more formidable than King You Lan's.

"You Xiaoxiao, You Xiaoxiao, come out, quickly come out!"

As soon as Tang Rao entered the door, he started shouting.
