The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Tang Rao was well aware of what this dark green substance was—it wasn't poison, but a marking.

It did no harm to the body, but it was extremely difficult to remove.

With his current abilities, he most likely couldn't dissolve it.

If that was the case, people from the Wangu Sect would follow this mark to find him.

"Dammit, if you come, I'll kill all of you!" Tang Rao's desire to kill grew stronger.

These people from the Wangu Sect probably all specialize in controlling flesh beasts. Such a force, if placed in the Seventy-two Domains, would be considered an Evil Sect, and numerous powerful beings would flatten them to boost their own reputation.

"And that Sword Sect, they're not any good either." Tang Rao snorted dismissively, clearly annoyed.

These Sects are just too much, ready to fight and kill at a moment's disagreement.

Do you even reason? Do you even have a sense of law?

I am currently a national military and political official, you are truly seeking death.

"Maybe, I can use the national power." Tang Rao suddenly sneered cunningly.

Look, you Sects even dare to plot against a national official like me. That's contempt for the nation, contempt for law and human rights, it's justified for me to kill you, to wipe out your kind of Evil Sect, and the public will rejoice.

...

After fumbling around on Chu Lisen for a while, Tang Rao became unhappy.

This damn poor ghost has nothing on him.

Apart from some low-grade poison, just a bottle of about twenty Blood Spirit Pills.

"But this will do," Tang Rao shook the Absorption Device in his hand.

This is a good item, sturdy and sharp, and it even has a bloodletting effect. With a bit of refining, it could directly be used as a weapon. It's ugly, but it works well.

"Ouch, what happened here?" Walking into the warehouse, Tang Rao saw Gu Shengtai's left face swollen and couldn't help asking.

"He got slapped," Yan Wei said nonchalantly.

"Why did he slap you?" Tang Rao approached Gu Shengtai, all smiles as he asked.

Gu Shengtai looked up at Tang Rao.

"Just learned something he shouldn't have," Gu Shengtai looked past Tang Rao and gave Yan Wei a strange glance.

The damn Yan Wei, I will ruin you and make Tang Rao doubt you.

"This fool must have said, you're so smart, why are you willing to follow me and be my lapdog," Tang Rao rolled his eyes, pursed his lips and spoke towards Yan Wei.

Yan Wei shrugged.

Gu Shengtai, however, was terrified.

How could Tang Rao guess even this?

Impossible!

"Smack!" Tang Rao reached out and harshly slapped Gu Shengtai's right cheek.

"Your face isn't quite symmetrical, let me help you," Tang Rao said with a smile.

Blood spilled from the corners of Gu Shengtai's mouth, his eyes fierce.

"Smack!" Tang Rao slapped another huge slap on Gu Shengtai's left cheek.

Gu Shengtai was furious, weren't you just talking about symmetry? Having made the right side symmetrical, why slap me again?

"Sorry about that, I went a bit too hard just now, the right side swelled up more, so I had to balance it out by hitting your left side," Tang Rao said cackling.

Gu Shengtai: "…"

"Why does it look like the left side is more swollen now?" Tang Rao muttered.

Slap after slap!

Gu Shengtai didn't know how many slaps he had endured; eventually, he couldn't feel the pain anymore.

Outside the warehouse, Yan Wei stood tall, looking at the starry sky.

As for Tang Rao, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.

There was nothing like this in the Seventy-two Domains, and Tang Rao had just picked up the habit in the last couple of days. He felt that cigarettes were an existence that could rival alcohol in human history.

He had already decided, once he returned to the Seventy-two Domains, he definitely wanted to promote smoking.

I'll definitely go crazy making money when the time comes.

"Want one?" Tang Rao looked at Yan Wei.

"Sure." Yan Wei nodded his head, taking the cigarette Tang Rao handed him.

He had never smoked before; the first puff choked him a bit, but it got much better afterwards.

"Tang Rao, we can't keep Gu Shengtai locked up forever, the police have already started investigating," Yan Wei suddenly said.

"No worries, I'll just randomly charge him with something tomorrow," Tang Rao exhaled a ring of smoke.

Yan Wei looked at Tang Rao with some confusion.

"When I went to Tiandu, something happened, and I was pulled into the Special Ninth Department as the Chief Instructor," Tang Rao explained.

"Then there should be no problem." Yan Wei was first surprised, then nodded his head.

With his capabilities, he naturally knew about the existence of the Special Ninth Department, even what specifically it does.

Although the administrative level of the Special Ninth Department isn't very high, it is directly under the central control, hardly ever provoked by anyone.

Unexpectedly, Tang Rao had become the Chief Instructor of the Special Ninth Department.

"By the way, are you interested in becoming a cultivator?" Tang Rao suddenly looked at Yan Wei, he had never asked before, and Yan Wei had never mentioned it.

"This line of work is quite dangerous," Yan Wei said with a light chuckle.

"It's precisely because it's dangerous, that's why I'm asking you; following me, you're already involved. Becoming stronger yourself makes it less dangerous," Tang Rao's tone held a hint of apology.

"Is my talent good?" After a while, Yan Wei asked.

"To be honest, it's quite poor." Tang Rao didn't deceive Yan Wei; Yan Wei did not have the aptitude to open a Spirit Root. Even making him a cultivator would require another method.

Perhaps through Body Refinement, or some other way.

But regardless of the method, the achievements would likely not be very high.

"Then I'd better not," Yan Wei said, shaking his head with a smile.

Tang Rao didn't say anything further; it was Yan Wei's choice, he had no reason to interfere.

...

Time always slips away when you least expect it.

In the blink of an eye, five days had passed.

During these five days, Tang Rao was mostly concocting medicines; he had to hurry things up.

Guan Zhenkong was almost ready, probably soon they would set out for that mysterious tomb.

With the strange spiritual fetus within Tang Rao, reaching Foundation Establishment in a short time seemed very difficult.

He required too much Spiritual Energy.

However, reaching the peak of Gathering Qi, Tang Rao could still strive for it.

As for Ye Xiaobai, the items Tang Rao had asked him to collect had all been delivered directly by express.

And Tang Rao, valuing integrity, sent over what the healing fluid he initially gave Ye Xiaobai to consume was and how to make it.

It was just branches of the Dragon Blood Tree, refined with Dan Fire.

Of course, Ye Xiaobai screamed into his phone for half an hour.

Dan Fire! Damn it, he didn't even know what Dan Fire was! Thus, Ye Xiaobai fell into the pit again.

The items Tang Rao had Ye Xiaobai gather was actually for Bai Yushu's preparation, this was the surprise Tang Rao wanted to give Bai Yushu.

Bai Yushu didn't have a Spirit Root, so he could only use this special method to start on the path of cultivation.

...

"It's about time to head over to the Biyun area." In the backyard, Tang Rao extinguished the Dan Fire and packed away the concocted Spiritual Medicine.

He had to go find Zhou Boxiong first; the Nine-leaf Blood Ginseng he spoke of was not a simple thing.

Once this matter was settled, Guan Zhenkong would be about to make his move.

After all, that tomb was in Jiezhou Biyun, not too far from Biyun.

"I wonder if that guy will show up tonight," Tang Rao muttered, referring to the one who had told him to find Gu Shengtai within ten days—and today was the tenth.

"Hehe, if he comes, he deserves a good thrashing," a mischievous smile appeared on Tang Rao's face.
