The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

And the mixed-race man, too, was staring solemnly at Tang Rao.

Tang Rao's kick was forceful and heavy that it actually knocked him back four or five steps.

Though this guy might have taken advantage of a sneak attack, the strength of the kick was genuine.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that he had encountered a master by chance.

Erik had been in the Luo Country for quite some time and had not really met any proper masters. However, this guy in front of him seemed quite interesting.

"Sir, hitting someone is not right," Erik said to Tang Rao without impulsiveness.

He couldn't use his capabilities recklessly.

Coming to the Luo Country was actually a last resort as he could no longer mingle in the Third Province. If his identity was exposed here, it would cause major trouble.

Under no dire circumstances did Erik want to act recklessly.

"Indeed, I feel the same. So how about we sit down and have a chat?" Tang Rao suggested with a smile.

"That works," Erik nodded.

"Then let's go," Tang Rao did not care to engage Jiang Langhuan and Jiang Langyue and proceeded directly toward a seat nearby.

As for Erik, he gave a slight bow to the two young ladies in front of him, then followed Tang Rao.

Jiang Langyue was utterly befuddled. What in the world was happening?

Why did it feel like she was introducing two men to each other?

"Sister…"

"Enough, Lang Yue!" Jiang Langhuan suddenly spoke in a stern tone, "You're not young anymore, when will you change your capricious ways. Tang Rao didn't provoke you this time, did he? He just came to say hello. I know you had issues with him before, but did he make it difficult for you? Don't tell me that the hundred old ginseng roots are a hardship, do you think a hundred old ginseng roots can compare to losing the functions of reproduction?"

Jiang Langhuan rarely spoke to Jiang Langyue like this, but this time Lang Yue was indeed a bit over the line.

Jiang Langyue pouted, her cheeks puffing out, without any retort.

She knew what Jiang Langhuan said was true and justified.

But every time she saw Tang Rao, she felt agitated.

It was like a cat seeing a mouse; even if the mouse didn't bother her, she still felt the urge to swat it with her paws.

"If you continue being so reckless, I might have to reconsider Grandfather's suggestion," Jiang Langhuan looked towards Jiang Langyue.

"Sister! Please don't, I'll change! We're close sisters, don't be like this…" Jiang Langyue immediately softened, looking pitiful.

Because of her personality, Grandfather had suggested she take a year off school to calm her mind and spirit back home.

However, Jiang Langhuan had intervened.

If her sister talked to Grandfather about it, she would definitely be done for.

Calming mind and spirit would definitely be suffocating.

"Then really change, don't just say one thing and do another," Jiang Langhuan was also amused by Jiang Langyue's pitiful act, this troublesome girl truly never gave her peace.

"Yes, yes, I'll definitely do what I say," Jiang Langyue kept promising.

Jiang Langhuan felt somewhat helpless; she knew well that at most she could only scare Xiao Yue. Truly changing her sister's nature was probably impossible.

Xiao Yue's personality could only be settled over time or by suffering a significant loss on her own.

Yet, being a daughter of the Jiang Family, people generally wouldn't dare to let her suffer a loss.

...

Meanwhile, Tang Rao and Erik sat facing each other, sizing up one another.

"Hello, Erik." Finally, Erik reached out his hand towards Tang Rao.

"Tang Rao." Tang Rao didn't respond, this guy had just tried to play the hero to save the damsel in distress, but in fact, he got tricked by Jiang Langyue.

Besides, he had kicked him just now.

"Mr. Tang Rao, you're quite impressive. I've been in the Yan Country for a while, and you are the strongest Yan Country person I've encountered," Erik said, his direct and exaggerated manner typical of Federation people.

"Really? I'm actually a bit surprised I didn't knock you over with one kick. Mr. Erik, you're not bad yourself," Tang Rao said with a smile.

Erik indeed didn't have any fluctuations of Spiritual Energy, probably not a Cultivator.

However, Tang Rao wasn't surprised; in the nine realms and Seventy-two Domains, it wasn't only Cultivators who were the most powerful. Those born with formidable bloodlines, or Spiritual Beasts with strange abilities, their strength didn't rely on Spiritual Energy.

Spiritual Energy cultivation was just applicable to most people.

To speak of it, cultivating Spiritual Energy to achieve the great path was actually the most common.

Those born with bloodlines, those Spiritual Beasts who grew stronger as they aged, were actually the favored ones by the heavens.

"Hehe, just average. I'm not that powerful, otherwise, I wouldn't have had to flee to Yan Country. Did something back in Bing State and couldn't stay there," Erik said with a grin.

For some reason, after interacting briefly with Tang Rao, he felt Tang Rao was very trustworthy.

"What did you do?" Tang Rao casually asked.

Erik glanced around, then leaned in closer: "I'll tell you, but you mustn't tell others."

"Sure, go ahead." Tang Rao patted his chest, Erik was quite frank.

"That, do you know Weiya Country?" Erik asked.

Tang Rao nodded, "I know a bit."

Weiya Country was located within Roma City, counted as a city-state. Though its geographical scope was small, its international influence was no less than alliance nations, Yan Country, Luo Country, etc.

Not for any other reason but because they had the Pope, the sacred ground for all Ze Tian followers.

"I had some fun with the Pope's granddaughter... and even took a video..." Erik said.

Tang Rao: "..."

Just have fun, why did you have to record a video? You're really courting death.

"Sigh, I didn't expect the video to get leaked... I'm quite sad now, it was true love with Alina," Erik said with an innocent face.

Tang Rao thought Erik was truly a rising star in the art of courting death.

"Tang Rao, you mustn't tell anyone. If people find out, I'm afraid I won't even be able to stay in Yan Country," Erik urged Tang Rao.

"Don't worry, I'm not a gossipmonger." Tang Rao shrugged, I really couldn't care less about your troubles.

We're just strangers who met by chance.

"Speaking of which, that old Pope really, just because his granddaughter fell in love then hooked up a bit... was there a need to get so agitated? He even claimed I am a Demon sent from Hell, the original sin of world destruction, original sin my ass!" Erik ranted non-stop.

"Let's not talk about this..." Tang Rao interrupted Erik, seeing that he was a real chatterbox.

"Actually, I'm quite curious about something, what's the source of your strength." Tang Rao asked Erik while resting his arms.

"The source of strength?"

"Yeah, simply put, why are you so powerful?" Tang Rao clarified.

Hearing this, Erik immediately laughed.

"That, we'd have to start from my father's father's father, Alcro V..."

"Get to the point!" Tang Rao immediately shouted.

Erik blinked twice, opened his mouth, and finally blurted out three words: "Born with it."
