The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Tang Rao nodded.

This should be the first move by Huang Dynasty Industries into the film industry. If things don't go well, it might be even harder to enter the market in the future.

Without access to the market, there will be a lot less money.

With less money, the resources needed for my cultivation would decrease and the recovery of my own strength would be slowed down. It would take even longer to seek revenge on Mei Fanghua...

Just thinking about this, Tang Rao got angry.

He took out his phone and called Bai Yushu directly.

"Xiao Rao, what's up?" Over the phone, Bai Yushu's voice came through, gentle and filled with maternal love.

"Mom, did our family recently invest in making a movie? The director is someone named Guo Fengchun," Tang Rao asked.

As soon as he said this, the room instantly fell silent, you could hear a pin drop.

Especially the cast and crew led by Guo Fengchun, their eyes were wide and their mouths agape, expressions stupefied.

What does he mean by "did our family recently invest in a movie"? What does he mean by "our family"?

Holy shit!

"Yes, expanding our business, ready to enter the film industry. The domestic film sector is booming, it's a good direction. Why? Is there a problem?" Bai Yushu's voice came.

"Oh, I have no problem with the movie. It's just the director, let's change him," Tang Rao said indifferently.

"The movie should have been partly shot already, right? Wouldn't it be a bit problematic to change directors midway?" Bai Yushu didn't even ask Tang Rao why he wanted to change the director.

"If the person's not up to it, the movie probably won't turn out well either." Tang Rao's tone remained calm, his suggestion was more like a statement.

He was very clear that Bai Yushu would definitely agree.

"Alright, I'll talk to the person in charge on that end. By the way, when are you coming back? Remember to tell me in advance," Bai Yushu said casually.

Changing a director was not a big deal.

Even in Bai Yushu's mind, if Tang Rao said to pull out the investment and not to shoot, she would have no objections.

"Got it, I'll hang up now, bye," Tang Rao said and hung up the phone.

The silence was eerie.

Guo Fengchun stared at Tang Rao, unable to utter a word.

Wang Xiyang was also stunned. She knew Tang Rao was influential, but... she never imagined that he was the young master of Huang Dynasty Industries.

She even offered him 20,000 yuan last night to leave her hotel room.

Thinking about it now, she felt utterly embarrassed.

20,000... Huang Dynasty Industries, a conglomerate with a net worth of hundreds of billions.

"Buzz..." Suddenly, Guo Fengchun's phone in his pocket began to ring.

Everyone's eyes were on Guo Fengchun.

Guo Fengchun's forehead was covered in sweat, and he took out his phone with trembling hands.

He was not afraid of losing the director position, but of offending Huang Dynasty Industries.

He was very clear about the immense power of Huang Dynasty Industries; if they really targeted him, he feared he wouldn't be able to work on any movies in the future.

In the business world of Yan Country, those who dared to offend Huang Dynasty Industries could be counted on one hand.

"Hello..." Guo Fengchun pressed the answer button.

...

Two minutes later, Guo Fengchun put down the phone, looking as if he had lost all his strength.

"Fat Bear, let's go," Tang Rao stood up and said indifferently.

"Alright!" Zhou Boxiong was grinning from ear to ear; this show of power was simply too satisfying.

Tang Rao didn't know that his actions would instantly cause a huge stir around the film invested by Huang Dynasty Industries and make it incredibly popular.

Of course, that is a story for later.

...

"Boss Tang, speaking of which, about that Wang Xiyang, did something happen between you two last night?" On the way, Zhou Boxiong asked, unable to suppress his curiosity.

"Nope." Tang Rao rolled his eyes.

Can I tell you that I actually shared a room with Wang Xiyang last night?

God knows what kind of rumors you'd start spreading then.

"Tch, there must be something, otherwise her attitude wouldn't have made such a complete 180." Zhou Boxiong puckered his lips and said.

Tang Rao ignored the guy.

"But speaking of which, today's act was really damn comfortable." Zhou Boxiong said with an expression of ecstasy.

"You're really hopeless, all you know is how to put on an act." Tang Rao cursed.

"Then what were you doing just now, sitting down in front of me?" Zhou Boxiong retorted with a snort.

"Putting on an act."

The two suddenly burst into laughter, loud enough to echo throughout the hills.

"Alright, this way, follow me!" Zhou Sancai called out, veering off the main path and darting into a narrow trail.

Tang Rao and Zhou Boxiong immediately followed.

The farther they walked, the steeper and more perilous the trail became.

Such paths were no challenge for Zhou Sancai, a seasoned old hand; Tang Rao was also at ease, but Zhou Boxiong was not doing so well.

Tang Rao could only tie a rope around himself, with the other end fastened to Zhou Boxiong's waist.

The three men trekked for about two hours, moving upward along the increasingly secluded path.

There was no sign of tourists here, not even a proper trail.

Completely in the shade, the mist thickened, and the temperature dropped significantly.

"We should be around the right place now. This is where I encountered it back in the day." Zhou Sancai stopped and one could see the fear still present in his eyes.

That giant python had haunted him for a full thirty years.

"It's just that I don't know if it's still here, after all... it's been thirty years. And with Boshan being developed constantly, maybe, just maybe that giant python is gone, and the Nine-leaf Blood Ginseng has disappeared too." Zhou Sancai said.

"It's still here." Tang Rao narrowed his eyes. Zhou Sancai and Zhou Boxiong were not cultivators; they couldn't sense it, but Tang Rao himself could distinctly pick up an unusual scent in the air.

Thirty years - a python could transform into a Jiaosnake. That unusual scent was exactly from a Jiaosnake.

Hearing Tang Rao's words, Zhou Sancai and Zhou Boxiong instantly became tense. Was Tang Rao implying that the giant python was nearby?

"Stay close to me, never wander off more than three meters away from me," Tang Rao instructed the two, then he stepped forward, following the scent, weaving through the terrain.

Twenty minutes later, Tang Rao stopped.

Suddenly, he stretched out his hand, holding Zhou Boxiong and Zhou Sancai behind him.

Ahead was a relatively gentle sloping plateau, sparse with trees, and at the top of the slope was a clearly visible gigantic cave.

The mouth of the cave turned outward, revealing an eerie atmosphere.

"You two stay here, absolutely do not move forward." After giving them instructions, Tang Rao darted towards the slope in a flash.

With each movement, he appeared midway up the slope.

Zhou Sancai held his breath, staring fixedly at Tang Rao.

He had never seen such fast agility; that slope must have been at an angle of more than fifty degrees, yet Tang Rao scaled it as if it were flat ground.

...

The closer he got to the cave, the more certain Tang Rao was.

That giant python was most likely inside the cave.

Oh wrong, it shouldn't be called a giant python, but a Jiaosnake now. Thirty years had turned the python into a Jiaosnake.

At the same time, Tang Rao also smelled the thick spiritual energy that permeated the air.

If the spiritual energy spreading out was so rich, it seemed the Nine-leaf Blood Ginseng was really something special.

It's possible that the Jiaosnake was guarding the Nine-leaf Blood Ginseng, hoping to use it to transform into a dragon.

But to this, Tang Rao sneered.

Transforming from a python to a Jiaosnake was easy, but to leap into the Dragon Gate from a Jiaosnake was practically daydreaming.

Across the Nine Realms of the Seventy-two Domains, such a vast Star Domain, Tang Rao knew of only two Jiaosnakes that could transform into dragons.
