The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

You should know that 5,600 units of Spiritual Energy are enough to directly push a person into the late stage of Qi gathering.

Plus, very few people can actually articulate the benefits of overflowing the Dantian before continuing to gather Qi, so very few people do it.

But for Tang Rao, at this moment, he was very clear about the difference between an overflowing Dantian and gathering a full hundred units of Qi.

Two sessions of Cultivation, one in haste to gather Qi, the other with an overflowing Dantian.

The difference between them is indescribable for Tang Rao, but he knows: there is an essential difference between the two.

"It's about time." Tang Rao's sea of consciousness slowly recovered.

All senses gradually came back.

The aftereffects of Dragon King Blood Fury had long been eradicated by the powerful effects of Spirit Marrow.

The power of Spirit Marrow also stabilized within his body. Continuing to sleep would be pointless.

"Skinny Monkey, do you think if I pluck a few hairs from Boss Tang, it'll wake him up from the pain?"

"Maybe I should tickle him instead."

"Tsk tsk tsk, perhaps just kiss him, that might be disgustingly effective in waking him up."

...

Just as Tang Rao's consciousness was returning, he heard Zhou Boxiong blathering on.

This moron, what kind of absurd ideas are these?

Kissing me? I'm disgusted just by your breath.

"Sure, go ahead and kiss me then, give it a try." Yan Wei suddenly turned to Zhou Boxiong, saying seriously.

"Really?" Zhou Boxiong didn't expect Yan Wei to actually agree with his idea.

"Really, just like you said, what if it works!" Yan Wei nodded.

"Alright, for the sake of the revolutionary friendship between Boss Tang and myself, I'll take one for the team." Zhou Boxiong gritted his teeth as if he was about to suffer a great loss.

Soon, Zhou Boxiong approached Tang Rao's bedside, pouting and glaring.

"Boss Tang, you're going to have to take responsibility for me later." Saying that, Zhou Boxiong bent forward, heading straight for Tang Rao's mouth.

Bang!

A large hand, at the very moment Zhou Boxiong was about to land a kiss, pressed against Zhou Boxiong's face.

"I'll take responsibility for you!" Tang Rao's roar echoed, followed by a strong shove that pushed Zhou Boxiong away.

You mental case, actually listening to Yan Wei's nonsense.

As for Yan Wei, a smile appeared on his face, full of mischief.

Indeed, he was aware of Tang Rao regaining consciousness the moment it happened.

Not that he could sense Tang Rao's consciousness, but because Tang Rao's eyelids and fingers had twitched a little.

Only Zhou Boxiong, this big nerve wouldn't notice such an obvious sign.

"Skinny Monkey, what are you laughing at? Lucky I reacted quick enough, or I would've actually been kissed by that Fat Bear idiot." Tang Rao pointed at Yan Wei and cursed jokingly.

Yan Wei shrugged, "Fat Bear came up with the idea himself, I was just going along with him. He's so thirsty~ let him quench it."

"Quench this!" Tang Rao flipped Yan Wei the middle finger.

"Hahaha, see, it worked!" Regarding Zhou Boxiong, he didn't care about the messy details at all; he only knew he was about to kiss Tang Rao, and then Tang Rao awoke. How miraculous.

This thick-skinned guy could power a train with his antics.

Hearing the noise, Bai Xiaotong and Bai Yushu both ran over.

"Xiao Rao!" Bai Yushu rushed forward and embraced Tang Rao tightly, "You finally woke up, you scared mommy to death."

"I'm alright..." Tang Rao gently patted Bai Yushu's back, his eyes tender.

"Good to hear you're okay, you little rascal, always scaring your mom half to death." Bai Yushu released Tang Rao and tapped him on the forehead.

Tang Rao had nothing to say. I didn't want to get hurt, nor did I want to be tormented, but under those circumstances, that was the only choice I could make.

If I hadn't used the Dragon King Blood Fury at that time, Yan Wei and I would probably be corpses by now.

Many times, life and death seem distant, but in fact, they are just a moment away.

"How does your body feel?" Bai Xiaotong also walked up and asked Tang Rao.

Tang Rao was also looking at Bai Xiaotong.

"Auntie, from now on, I, Tang Rao, am willing to risk my life for you without hesitation," Tang Rao said very seriously, with no trace of jest on his face.

The opportunity Bai Xiaotong provided was so grand that Tang Rao, other than making such a promise, didn't know how else to repay her.

Spirit Marrow... A natural spirit constitution, that's something that could change a person's entire life.

The people around were somewhat surprised to see Tang Rao. Even Bai Yushu was seeing Tang Rao this serious for the first time.

Bai Xiaotong didn't shake her head, nor did she nod; she just stared blankly at Tang Rao.

Risking one's life without hesitation...

Back then, he had said the same thing to her.

Tears suddenly streamed from Bai Xiaotong's eyes, falling down one by one in brilliant drops.

"Xiao Tong, what's wrong?" Upon seeing Bai Xiaotong cry, Bai Yushu immediately panicked.

For his sister, Bai Yushu was extremely concerned.

Back when he had not yet met Tang Renwang and was still with the Bai Family, unable to open his Qi Mansion and having suffered countless cold stares and criticisms, it was always Xiao Tong who protected him with an almost barbaric stance.

"Sister, I want to be with Xiu He!" Bai Xiaotong suddenly shouted out loud and then hugged Bai Yushu tightly, leaning her head on Bai Yushu's shoulder, crying as if her tears could shake the heavens and the earth.

Be it Zhou Boxiong or Yan Wei, Tang Rao was also completely dumbfounded.

What... what situation is this?

Xiu He? Who is Xiu He?

As for Bai Yushu, upon hearing Bai Xiaotong's words, his face changed drastically.

Right after, Bai Yushu forcibly took Bai Xiaotong out of the room, and then with a bang, they went into the next room.

The sound of Bai Xiaotong's crying could still be heard by Tang Rao and the other two.

However, the conversation between the two seemed to be in whispers, and even Tang Rao couldn't hear it clearly.

"Skinny Monkey, do you know what's going on?" Tang Rao looked at Yan Wei and asked.

Yan Wei was quite perceptive and had a strong investigative ability, perhaps he had some clues.

"I'm not sure. But earlier when I entered the room, you were still unconscious, I had seen your aunt with tears in the corners of her eyes. Maybe, you reminded her of someone from the past," Yan Wei suggested, in these kinds of matters without evidence, it was not good to speculate.

"There are only two kinds of things in the world that people can't forget," Zhou Boxiong suddenly said.

Tang Rao and Yan Wei both looked towards Zhou Boxiong.

"The death of relatives, the loss of a loved one," Zhou Boxiong said, opening his mouth and speaking in a heavy tone.

Tang Rao and Yan Wei were both somewhat surprised, and slowly, their eyes revealed a sense of emotion.

Xiu He... perhaps, was the loved one of Bai Xiaotong.

Even more likely, Xiu He was already gone.

And Tang Rao, reminded Bai Xiaotong of that Xiu He.

"Skinny Monkey, help me look into this discreetly. Also, let me know the location of Gu Shengtai and that Assassin I let go when you have time. I might want to check on them," Tang Rao waved his hand and said.

"Okay, got it," Yan Wei didn't waste words and nodded in agreement.

"Since you're awake now, Boss Tang, I'm going to book a flight back home this afternoon. You said you were going to the Bo Mountains area in a while, right? Remember to look me up when you get there," Zhou Boxiong said with a smile.

"I'll find you without needing a reminder," Tang Rao replied to Zhou Boxiong, flipping him off with his middle finger.

I've been thinking about that Nine-leaf Blood Ginseng on the Bo Mountains for a long time now.
