The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Tang Rao did not resist, but cooperated with the man in black and ran with all his might.

In the darkness, the two ran for a full hour.

Tang Rao didn't even know where he was anymore, just that the surroundings were desolate.

Sigh, such a remote place, and in the dead of night, I guess not even a taxi could be hailed.

"Who told you to follow Jin Ke!" After stopping, the man in black yelled at Tang Rao, his voice dreary and filled with fury.

"Well, I thought I might find some clues about Gu Shengtai from him," Tang Rao bluffed.

The man in black was momentarily speechless, bowing his head, seemingly deep in thought.

"Say, you're not from the Sword Sect, are you?" Tang Rao suddenly asked.

For some reason, he always felt there was something strange about the man in black before him.

He was skinny, with a sallow complexion, and his face expressionless no matter how long you looked at it.

"Sword Sect? That bunch of trash, do you think they're worthy of my joining?" The man in black gritted his teeth, his eyes blazing with rage.

Seeing the man in black's teeth, Tang Rao couldn't help but think, at least this guy has good teeth.

Look at those big white teeth, so neat and tidy.

"So you have a grudge against the Sword Sect too? I also have a grudge against them, why don't we become friends then!" Tang Rao said cheerfully.

At first, he thought this guy was also from the Sword Sect, turns out he wasn't.

Whoosh!

The man in black suddenly closed in on Tang Rao, pressing a short dagger directly against Tang Rao's neck.

"You idiot, I should just kill you with one strike!" his eyes red with blood vessels, "I've been laying low for so long, and you've ruined it all!"

Tang Rao was flabbergasted.

Damn it, what do you mean I ruined it?

You never told me what you were up to, what does it have anything to do with me?

"Say, what exactly did I ruin for you? Come on, let's hear it." Tang Rao was nonchalant about the dagger on his neck.

Since the man in black had just saved him, there was no need to act now.

The man in black gave Tang Rao a cold glance and with a clang, sheathed his dagger.

"Your task is to find Gu Shengtai, you have seven days. If you can't find him within seven days, I'll come for your life." the man in black reverted to his original indifference.

"God, you can't do this to me. I reckon I have an 80% chance of not finding Gu Shengtai, so I'm probably going to die. Before I die, let me know something. Like, why wasn't Jin Ke in the room; and what's that golden bug?" Tang Rao cried out.

To clarify things, Tang Rao no longer cared about losing face.

Besides, dignity, as if it's of much use anyway.

It's not like you can eat it.

The man in black stared at Tang Rao, silent for a long moment.

"I don't want to die wronged!" Tang Rao shouted.

"Shut up!" the man in black shouted angrily, "Who told you Jin Ke wasn't in the room?"

Hearing the man in black's words, Tang Rao was completely stunned.

Jin Ke was in the room? Impossible! He couldn't find him at all.

Although the Soul Power was there, there was absolutely no sign of Jin Ke in that room.

"Didn't you see a pool of fresh blood in the room where Huang Tianquan was?" the man in black suddenly said.

Fresh blood, Tang Rao frowned, then it dawned on him.

Huang Tianquan was already rotting beyond recognition, where could fresh blood come from!

Could it be...

"If it weren't for me stepping in, your fate would have been the same as Jin Ke's. That golden bug, is a Golden Gu, that creature, shows no mercy when consuming flesh," the man in black said coldly.

So that was it, Tang Rao realized.

That Golden Gu was a Spiritual Beast that feasted on flesh.

Such Spiritual Beasts Tang Rao obviously knew, but they were very rare in the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains, nearly extinct.

No wonder, these creatures were too domineering; cultivators would usually exterminate them on sight.

No wonder the Soul Power was present but he couldn't find Jin Ke, he had been consumed by that Golden Gu.

Blue Star actually has such a thing.

"Scared silly?" Seeing Tang Rao not speaking, the man in black couldn't help but sneer contemptuously, he knew it would be like this.

"Alright, during the remaining seven days, you better find out Gu Shengtai's whereabouts. Hehe, but since you've angered the Wangu Sect, whether you can live for another seven days is questionable." The man in black suddenly sneered.

Tang Rao: "..."

Damn it, what is all this about?

One moment it's the Sword Sect, the other it's the Wangu Sect.

And also, why are you looking for Gu Shengtai? Can't you just clarify?

"Good luck on your own." After saying this, the man in black sped off and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Good luck your..." Tang Rao spat.

Do they really think I, Tang Rao, am a pushover?

Those who should be seeking good luck should be you, you better pray that I don't breakthrough to the later stages of Qi Gathering within seven days.

And that Wangu Sect, once Tang Laohei's power increases, we'll burst your lair!

Those who mess with me will pay the price!

After cursing aloud, Tang Rao took out his cellphone.

Tang Rao looked at the dark screen, veins gradually bulging.

It's actually, out of battery.

"Dang it, the crappy stuff today, why isn't there a single thing that's going smoothly!" Tang Rao almost smashed the cellphone.

But remembering that he had secretly snapped photos of Jiang Langhuan and other beautiful ladies in the phone, he ultimately didn't go through with it.

"Consider yourself lucky!" Tang Rao yelled at his phone and angrily stuffed it into his pocket.

Without a cellphone, he couldn't even hail a taxi.

Plus, he had absolutely no idea where he was.

"Forget it, let's just walk and see, I'll eventually get to a residential area," Tang Rao muttered.

After lots of winding and turning, he finally found himself on a highway.

There were very few cars on the road, no taxis whatsoever. Mostly private cars, all driving fast and zooming past.

At this moment, Tang Rao wished he could turn into a cute girl, a cute girl with long legs.

Sit by the road, lift a thigh, and believe it or not, the cars that stop could form a fleet!

...

Tang Rao ultimately was unable to hitch a ride and only managed to catch a taxi after reaching the residential area.

When he returned to the Bai Family, it was already deep into the night, everything was dead silent.

After entering the house, Tang Rao had no mood for cultivation and slept until bright daylight.

The next morning, Tang Rao started packing his luggage right away.

He had to return to Sui City.

Then, to concoct Spiritual Medicine and enhance his power.

Damn it, these sects, always talking about Foundation Establishment, it's just too much.

Bai Yushu had some matters to handle, so he didn't follow Tang Rao.

As for Bai Xiaotong and Lei Li, the two were completely engrossed in the power of Qi Gathering and had no distractions.

Thus, Tang Rao had to go back alone.

Of course, he made a detour to Special Ninth Department first; he hadn't collected yesterday's benefits yet.

...

On the airplane, Tang Rao tightly hugged his backpack, face slightly flushed with excitement.

Damn it, cooperating with the government really does have prospects.

There were not a few good items in the resource vault of Special Ninth Department, but Tang Rao only took one kind: Blood Spirit Pills.

Right now, in his backpack, there were precisely two hundred Blood Spirit Pills.

One pill for a thousand units of Spiritual Energy, two hundred pills amount to two hundred thousand units of Spiritual Energy.

"Hahaha, late stage of Qi Gathering! Haha!" Thinking about it, Tang Rao couldn't help but chuckle slyly, laughing so ominously that it sent chills down the spines of those around him.
