The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Tang Rao's muscles tensed up all over his body.

He was very clear that if the thing exploded in his hand, he would be finished for sure.

Even if the Qi Gathering stage was strong, it was still the Qi Gathering stage, not even considered a Cultivator.

Dealing with bullets was already a challenge, let alone with such high-explosive bombs.

"Damn it, if it gets to that, I'll just have to run for it," Tang Rao muttered to himself, better someone else dies than dying oneself.

He could only say that he would do his utmost to minimize the casualties.

As for sacrificing himself, don't even think about it.

I still have to save my life to return to the Seventy-two Domains of the Nine Worlds, and to take revenge on Mei Fanghua.

"Lake... the lake!!" Suddenly, Tang Rao's eyes lit up as he noticed there was a lake about thirty meters away from him.

It was probably fifty meters wide with swans and ducks swimming on it.

Without thinking, Tang Rao charged towards the lake.

When he was about ten meters away from the shore, Tang Rao roared loudly, "Everybody get down, there's a bomb!"

After that, Tang Rao released a stream of Spiritual Energy to surround the bomb in his hand, then with all his strength, hurled it towards the surface of the lake.

Hoping the lake was deep enough.

Bang!

The bomb hit the water and was instantly submerged.

As for the tourists around, they all looked up at Tang Rao.

"What an idiot, throwing a stone and calling it a bomb."

"Seriously no manners, even throwing stuff into the lake."

"It's scared the little ducks."

Many people pointed fingers and talked about Tang Rao.

As for Tang Rao, taking advantage of the last seconds, he retreated tens of meters backward.

These people wouldn't listen, so there was nothing he could do.

Even if they died in the explosion, Tang Rao wouldn't feel any guilt.

Boom!

The next moment, a roaring sound came from the peaceful garden, like the growling of underground beasts.

The originally calm surface of the lake, after the roar, burst upwards with rolling flames from below.

The entire lake's water began to surge upward, forming a huge arc.

The next second, the arc broke, and a huge wave with red flames burst into sky.

"Ah!!!" The people around the lake finally came to their senses at this moment, screaming and howling as they ran towards the distance.

"Idiots." Tang Rao looked at these people running for their lives and lightly cursed.

At this time, the best option was to lie down on the spot.

Run? With your speed, what can you outrun?

The sky filled with water droplets began to fall, many were drenched like drowned rats, and some were hit by mud and stones blasted from the bottom of the lake, falling to the ground, unable to get up.

The scene was chaotic, with cries and howls mixing together.

Tang Rao scanned around and a hint of a smile appeared on his lips.

Luckily, the lake was deep enough; besides a few injured, there seemed to be no fatalities.

It was the best scenario possible.

"Tang Rao!" Not far away, Ye Xin rushed towards Tang Rao.

Ye Xin ran up to Tang Rao, staring intensely into his eyes.

"Hey, what are you staring at me for?" Tang Rao was slightly uncomfortable with Ye Xin's piercing gaze.

Perhaps realizing her impropriety, Ye Xin averted her gaze.

"Tang Rao, are you... alright?" Ye Xin asked.

"It's fine, but some people around got hurt. You should call an ambulance," said Tang Rao as he shrugged.

Hearing Tang Rao mention that someone was hurt, Ye Xin immediately grew tense again.

"Don't worry, I threw the bomb into the lake to explode, the injuries are only minor. Speaking of which, those swans and ducks on the lake are pretty pitiful, no idea where they were blasted to, not a single feather left," Tang Rao babbled.

Ye Xin: "..."

"Well, if there's nothing else, I'm leaving," Tang Rao waved at Ye Xin, not wanting to deal with the aftermath.

Just as Ye Xin wanted to stop Tang Rao, she looked up and he was already far away.

"This bastard..." Ye Xin gritted her teeth, a strange light gleaming in her eyes.

Tang Rao... seemed different from what she had in mind.

Did she misunderstand him? Perhaps...

...

After leaving the garden, Tang Rao hailed a taxi and went straight back to the Bai Family.

Get ready, he'd return to Sui City tomorrow.

Although he reached the mid-stage of energy gathering, Tang Rao still had no confidence in confronting a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

At the very least, he needed to reach the late stage of energy gathering.

The man in black who had instructed him to find Gu Shengtai definitely possessed Foundation Establishment capabilities, he needed to improve himself as quickly as possible.

Tang Rao didn't like the feeling of being at someone's mercy.

But breaking through to the late stage of energy gathering was not an easy task; it took nearly sixty thousand units of Spiritual Energy to move from the early to mid-stage of energy gathering, which was brutally difficult.

Heaven knows how many Spiritual Energies it would take to move from mid to late stage, maybe in the hundreds of thousands.

Tens of thousands of Spiritual Energy units, Tang Rao felt his face darken just thinking about it.

Such a vast amount of Spiritual Energy would normally be enough for him to reach the peak of Foundation Establishment, and he might even break through to the next stage of Open Enlightenment.

"This goddamn overflow of energy in the Dantian, this goddamn spiritual wisdom and talent, truly freaking distressing," Tang Rao muttered, not exactly thrilled, in the back seat of the taxi.

"Young man, feeling down?" The cab driver was a forty-something uncle with a simple look, speaking Mandarin with a local accent.

"Yeah," Tang Rao nodded; although the overflowing energy in his Dantian brought many benefits, it was awfully slow, and his need for Spiritual Energy was monstrously high.

"The most important thing in life is to be happy," the cab driver said, imitating the accent from Hong Kong dramas.

Tang Rao: "..."

"Let me tell you, young man, I've been your age too, back in my day..." The cab driver went on and on without end.

Tang Rao finally witnessed the legendary Tiandu cabbies, whose gift of the gab lived up to their reputation.

He didn't stop talking the entire trip.

"I suddenly feel even less happy," Tang Rao said abruptly, staring straight at the rearview mirror.

A black business car had been following for five intersections already, which was not normal.

"Uh... I'll stop talking then," the cab driver thought Tang Rao was annoyed with him and closed his mouth after a bright smile.

"Turn around ahead," Tang Rao instructed.

Without asking why, the driver entered the left turn lane at the traffic light ahead to make a U-turn.

"I'll get off here." After traveling another two hundred meters, Tang Rao patted the seat.

"Young man, there's no village ahead or shop behind, just overpasses; are you sure you want to get off here?" the cab driver asked in surprise.

"Yeah, keep the change. Thanks," Tang Rao handed over a hundred yuan bill and then pushed the door open to get out.

The cabbie glanced at the bill in the light, it was real money.

"Young man, don't do anything foolish. Life goes on, you should look forward," the cabbie called out to Tang Rao from the open window.

Tang Rao: "..."

"I'm just going for a walk to clear my mind, big brother, you better go now, or do you want to see me off for good?" Tang Rao yelled, totally fed up with the cabbies of Tiandu.

"Alright, alright, I'll leave right away!" Hearing Tang Rao's words, the driver didn't dare to stay any longer.

Seriously, if someone really died in front of him, he'd be in a whole lot of trouble.
