The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 69: The Tears of Bai Xiaotong



For three days, Zhou Boxiong and Yan Wei had come over almost every day.

Due to Tang Rao's coma, Zhou Boxiong had canceled his schedule, preparing to wait until Tang Rao woke up before proceeding.

He was his brother, after all, and he couldn't just leave without peace of mind.

Yan Wei, on the other hand, had a really tough few days. He had to run to Qian Qian's place and also visit Tang Rao. Add to that the need to find the medicinal ingredients Tang Rao asked him to gather within a month, it could be said he had not a single moment of leisure.

"Xiao Wei, Da Xiong are here? Come in quickly." Bai Yushu welcomed the two men into the villa.

During these three days, Zhou Boxiong and Yan Wei had come so many times that they had become familiar with Bai Yushu.

Bai Yushu was quite satisfied with these two roommates of Tang Rao.

Her ability to judge people was certainly not inferior to that of Tang Renwang.

Zhou Boxiong seemed somewhat subservient to her, but deep down, this young man had his principles and persistence.

As for Yan Wei, to tell the truth, Bai Yushu couldn't see through him. However, he presumably harbored no ill intentions towards Xiao Rao.

"Aunt Bai, how is Boss Tang today? Has he woken up?" Zhou Boxiong asked.

"It's still the same, still no sign of waking up. It's been three days already," Bai Yushu also felt somewhat helpless.

Xiao Rao's body had been examined, and there were no problems.

But he just wouldn't wake up.

"I was right by Tang Rao's side when he fell into a coma. Based on what he said, there should be no issues. Waking up is just a matter of time. Aunt Bai must know, since Tang Rao has cultivated his Qi Mansion, for a cultivator, many things require time," Yan Wei said.

"Xiao Wei knows about Qi Mansion Practitioners?" This took Bai Yushu by surprise.

Such knowledge was possessed by only a very small number of people.

Even Tang Renwang only came to understand Qi Mansion Practitioners after marrying her.

"Don't speculate, Aunt Bai, I'm neither a young master from a great family, nor a descendant of some wandering expert. I just like collecting information and analyzing. Looking over human history, and then making some reasonable conjectures and investigations, these things aren't that difficult to find out," Yan Wei explained.

"I see, Xiao Wei is really impressive," Bai Yushu gave Yan Wei a thumbs-up genuinely thinking he was remarkable.

What Yan Wei spoke of casually must have been tough work, Bai Yushu knew the difficulties.

Being able to investigate and find out, despite the nation's embargo, was certainly not easy.

"Come, sit and have tea with me, and let's talk. There's no need to go upstairs. Xiao Tong is there. If that kid Tang Rao wakes up, she'll naturally inform us," Bai Yushu said.

Then, without giving them a chance to refuse, she started preparing the tea utensils.

Yan Wei and Zhou Boxiong exchanged a glance before obediently sitting down.

After three cups of tea, Bai Yushu looked at the two men: "What do you think of my tea?"

Yan Wei and Zhou Boxiong knew that Bai Yushu was about to get down to business.

"It's delicious," Yan Wei nodded.

"Beer suits me better," Zhou Boxiong replied with a grin.

"Haha, Da Xiong always speaks his mind. Since that's the case, I'll just say it straight out," Bai Yushu laughed.

Yan Wei and Zhou Boxiong nodded in agreement.

"I checked afterward. In that reed marsh, there were a total of five assassins. One escaped, three died, and what about the remaining one? Xiao Wei, I think you should know about this, right?" Bai Yushu fixed a sharp gaze on Yan Wei.

Yan Wei was also startled inside.

Even Bai Xiaotong didn't know about the whole event.

But Bai Yushu had investigated and found out, truly living up to being Tang Renwang's wife; she wasn't someone to be taken lightly.

"I've arranged for them to be taken care of. To be precise, apart from the assassin Tang Rao spared, there is also another person," Yan Wei said without any concealment, nor was there any need to hide anything.

Bai Yushu was investigating this out of concern for Tang Rao.

As a mother with the ability, naturally, she would want to do something for her child.

"Gu Shengtai?" Bai Yushu asked.

"Aunt Bai, even you said I was impressive, but you are the truly impressive one," Yan Wei expressed his admiration.

He wasn't just flattering, the fact that Bai Yushu could find out so much within three days was indeed very impressive.

"What did you find out?" Bai Yushu asked.

"We didn't ask, once Tang Rao wakes up, he will handle this matter himself," Yan Wei said.

"Hehe, Aunt Bai, Yan Wei and I are just playing supporting roles for Boss Tang. Yeah, we're basically his underlings," Zhou Boxiong said with a grin.

Bai Yushu fell silent.

Her fingers rhythmically tapped on the tea table, no one knew what she was pondering.

"That's fine then, let's wait for Xiao Rao to wake up and let him take care of it," Bai Yushu nodded, not asking further.

She knew better than to overstep; Bai Yushu did not want to meddle too much in Tang Rao's affairs.

If Xiao Rao needed her help, he would naturally say so.

If she took action without understanding the situation, Xiao Rao would probably be displeased.

"Aunt Bai, then... should we go up and check on Boss Tang? We still have some things to deal with later," Zhou Boxiong suggested.

"Alright, you guys go ahead," Bai Yushu said with a smile.

Soon, the two arrived upstairs.

The door to Tang Rao's room was open, and Bai Xiaotong sat by his bed, staring at Tang Rao in a daze.

Zhou Boxiong knocked on the door twice.

"It's you guys, come in," when she saw it was Zhou Boxiong and Yan Wei, Bai Xiaotong stood up, "You keep watch for a while, I'm going to wash my face."

As he brushed past Bai Xiaotong, Yan Wei's eyes subtly lifted.

Tears... in the corner of Bai Xiaotong's eyes?

Why would Bai Xiaotong be crying?

Yan Wei was somewhat baffled.

Of course, he wouldn't ask; some things are better kept observed and remembered.

He wasn't the type to gossip.

"Oh my God, Boss Tang, when are you going to wake up?" Zhou Boxiong took a banana and muttered as he peeled it.

"Hey, you'd better not tell me you're going to stay like this for the rest of your life, that would seriously be messed up," Zhou Boxiong continued cursing under his breath, sitting in a chair with his leg cocked up.

Seeing Zhou Boxiong like this, Yan Wei was helpless.

Fat Bear really didn't see himself as an outsider.

"Enough, Fat Bear, can't you just sit quietly for a while?" Yan Wei gave Zhou Boxiong a disapproving glance.

"I'm worried about Boss Tang, not like you, who doesn't say a word. I tell you, people in comas should have more conversation with them, it helps them wake up faster," Zhou Boxiong said.

Yan Wei didn't argue with Zhou Boxiong; God knows where this guy picked up such nonsense.

...

After three days, the Spirit Marrow had flowed into Tang Rao's limbs and bones.

It could be said to have spread to every corner of his body.

However, in terms of awakening his exceptional spiritual physique, there seemed to be some distance left.

After all, this Spirit Marrow was taken directly, without refining it into Spiritual Medicine, hence the effect wasn't as immediate.

At the same time, Tang Rao's Dantian had finally reached a state of complete saturation, leaving not even the slightest room for additional Spiritual Energy.

A full five thousand six hundred units of Spiritual Energy had been absorbed, something that even Tang Rao himself had never considered possible — that a person's Dantian could hold such a vast amount of Spiritual Energy before gathering Qi.

No wonder, out of all the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains, very few people wait until their Spiritual Energy is fully saturated before beginning to gather Qi.

The demand for Spiritual Energy is simply too great.
