The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

"Xiao Rao, how do you know about the Ghost King?" Bai Xiaotong stared at Tang Rao, her expression somewhat solemn.

"First tell me, who is he?" Tang Rao increasingly felt that his guess might be correct.

Bai Xiaotong slightly furrowed her brows, "Speaking of the Ghost King, I'm not very clear either. I only know this guy is called Lu Dingjia, and he's from the Tiandu Lu Family. But he doesn't have a good relationship with the Lu Family, often staying away from home. I've fought with him, his strength is not inferior to mine."

Tang Rao's eyes rolled, damn, just as I thought.

Tiandu Lu Family!

That brat set me up again.

Clearly, that brat deliberately arranged for Lu Dingjia to deal with me because whether Lu Dingjia fails or I, Tang Rao, get defeated, it could incite conflict between the Bai Family and the Lu Family.

"Xiao Rao, have you met Lu Dingjia?" Bai Xiaotong asked.

"Not only have I met him, but I also killed him," Tang Rao whispered.

Bai Xiaotong and Lei Li are insiders, there should be no problem talking about this. As for Bai Yushu, there's even less to worry about.

The expressions on the three of them solidified.

Especially Bai Xiaotong, her face looked as if she had seen a ghost, Tang Rao killed Lu Dingjia? How could that be possible!

Truly fighting life and death, her chances of killing Lu Dingjia were only thirty percent.

Tang Rao had just opened up his Qi Mansion, how could he possibly deal with Lu Dingjia?

"You don't need to ask about this process, in any case, he wanted to harm me first, then I ended up killing him. Aunt, if our Bai Family confronts the Lu Family, who stands to benefit?" Tang Rao asked, already impatient to find out who was setting him up.

Smart head you got there, don't get beaten up until you become a moron, otherwise, where would I, Tang Rao, put my face?

"Who benefits? How do you want me to say this, there are a lot of people who don't get along with the Bai Family, the Lu Family has quite a few enemies too," Bai Xiaotong shook her head.

"What about the Ye Family?" Tang Rao raised an eyebrow.

The list that Jiang Tiesheng brought had one from the Lu Family, Lu He, and one from the Ye Family, Ye Xiaobai.

Could it be that Ye Xiaobai?

"The Ye Family... they don't have any feud with our Bai Family, and their relationship with the Lu Family is also okay," Bai Xiaotong said.

Tang Rao didn't continue to ask further, asking more would only be speculation, catching someone red-handed is what truly counts.

But that brat is so sneaky, he is not likely to show himself easily.

Got to think of a way, can't keep being passively undermined.

"Mom, isn't it grandpa's birthday tomorrow?" Tang Rao squinted his eyes, perhaps, this is an opportunity.

"Yes, his eightieth birthday, a big one. A lot of people will come, especially the younger generation, it's also an opportunity for young people to mingle," Bai Yushu nodded.

"Will someone from the Lu Family come?" Tang Rao continued to ask.

"Yes, Lu He."

"Think of the devil, and he shall appear, excellent!" A smile appeared on Tang Rao's face.

"What about the Ye Family, is it that Ye Xiaobai?"

"Yes, young man, where did you get this information?" Bai Yushu was somewhat surprised, the list was supposed to be confidential, not sure where Xiao Rao got his info from.

The smile on Tang Rao's face grew even wider.

Since they are all coming, then let your Tang Laohei play a good game with you.

"Xiao Rao, about that Lu Dingjia..." Bai Yushu was still somewhat worried, after all, it was murder.

"Don't worry mom, it's all fine," Tang Rao shrugged and said honestly, he really didn't feel much about it.

On Blue Star, killing someone is a major crime. But in the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains, there's no such concept.

Whoever is stronger, gets to call the shots.

...

In the afternoon until evening, Tang Rao was locked in his room.

He had consumed all eighty Old Ginseng Pills, gathering two hundred and forty breaths of Spiritual Energy in his body, enough to reach the Qi Gathering phase.

Whenever Tang Rao wished, he could breakthrough anytime.

"I wonder what it feels like when the Dantian is fully filled..." Tang Rao sat on the bed, his gaze drifting.

One hundred breaths of energy in the Dantian were enough to reach the Qi Gathering phase; he cultivated like this during his time in the Seventy-Two Domains.

However, as his experiences broadened, Tang Rao heard of a practice, that is to completely fill the Dantian before gathering Qi.

This method, though time-consuming, would likely offer a different experience from ordinary Qi Gathering.

"Since I never had the chance to try this before, now that I'm starting over, it might be worth a walk-through," Tang Rao muttered, as gathering Qi wasn't urgent at this moment.

After all, even if he were to break through to the Qi Gathering phase now, his strength wouldn't improve significantly.

Only reaching Foundation Establishment truly marks a fundamental difference.

Without further ado, Tang Rao grabbed another hundred Old Ginseng gifted by that kid and dashed into the kitchen.

Having not slept the whole night, by seven in the morning, Tang Rao felt his Dantian expanding, holding a full five hundred breaths of Spiritual Energy.

But obviously, the Dantian was not fully saturated yet and could still accommodate more Spiritual Energy.

"I should ask my aunt if she has anything good on hand," Tang Rao felt energetically spirited, not a bit sleepy.

"Thump thump thump!"

"Auntie, open the door!"

"Thump thump thump!"

"Auntie, stop sleeping, your big nephew is here!"

Tang Rao kept knocking on Bai Xiaotong's door.

One minute later, the door opened with a swoosh.

"Xiao Rao, what's up so early in the morning?" Bai Xiaotong squinted her eyes, seemingly not quite awake.

"Auntie, be mindful of your big nephew's feelings. Can you please put on your clothes first?" Tang Rao rolled his eyes, and honestly admitted that Bai Xiaotong had a great figure.

Bai Xiaotong blinked slightly, becoming a bit more alert.

She looked at herself and then at Tang Rao.

"Fine, whatever. If you have something to say, come in," Bai Xiaotong pursed her lips, then turned and walked into the room.

Tang Rao: "..."

That's no way to play it.

In the room, Bai Xiaotong sat cross-legged on the big bed, continuously sneezing.

"What are you looking for your aunt for? If it's not urgent, I might throw a fit," Bai Xiaotong still looked a bit dazed but was slowly waking up.

"Auntie, I need a lot of Spiritual Energy replenishing items. Do you have any?" Tang Rao asked directly.

"Spiritual Energy replenishing items? Didn't you kid buy a lot of two-hundred-year-old ginseng? Isn't that enough?" Bai Xiaotong was somewhat surprised.

Tang Rao had just opened his Qi Mansion and shouldn't have used up much so quickly.

He had tricked Jiang Langyue into giving him a hundred roots of two-hundred-year-old Old Ginseng, which should have been sufficient.

"I like to prepare in advance and act only after planning, better stock up first," Tang Rao grinned as he spoke.

"I see, give me a second," Bai Xiaotong nodded and then rolled over the bed.

Tang Rao felt he was going blind, Auntie, please don't do this, think about the impact... oh!
