The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

"If it hurts, then we can probably exclude a Metal Element Spirit Root."

Tang Rao nodded, and suddenly his Spiritual Energy burst forth.

It surged upwards.

Lei Li's stomach churned instantly, and then she opened her mouth.

With a "pfft" sound, a mouthful of thick fluid sprayed out, which was the Iron Tree Branch she had just swallowed.

However, at this point, Tang Rao had already transformed it into a liquid with his Spiritual Energy.

"Eat this." Tang Rao didn't give Lei Li any time to rest, offering another piece of branch once more.

Lei Li really wanted to ask, why the hell is it another branch...

But in the end, she still shut her mouth, took the branch Tang Rao gave to her, put it in her mouth, and just chewed it.

This branch was different from the Iron Tree Branch; it was soft and carried a sweetness and a fresh fragrance.

"Swallow it," Tang Rao instructed.

Hearing Tang Rao's words, Lei Li didn't talk back, and simply swallowed it down into her stomach.

Tang Rao's steps were the same as before, he drove his Spiritual Energy to guide the Dragon Blood Tree branch that Lei Li had swallowed.

The Dragon Blood Tree has a powerful wood attribute; the two-thousand-year-old Dragon Blood Tree branches that Ye Xiaobai got really count as fine quality.

Of course, a truly Divine Grade Dragon Blood Tree would be one that has lived over eight thousand years.

This time, Lei Li didn't feel anything.

No pain, no itch, other than feeling a heat on her back, there were no other abnormalities.

"Raise your hand," Tang Rao instructed Lei Li.

Without much thought, Lei Li raised her right hand.

Pshht!

Tang Rao's other arm swept past, and a huge gash immediately appeared on Lei Li's arm.

The cut was seven or eight centimeters long, deep into the flesh and blood.

"Does it hurt?" Tang Rao continued to ask.

"Nonsense, of course it hurts! Tang Rao, are you sick in the head?" Lei Li got a bit angry, you lunatic Tang Rao, why are you cutting my arm!

And you're asking if it hurts; who wouldn't feel pain when slashed?

"It's not a Wood Attribute Spirit Root either, what a pity." Tang Rao shook his head; actually, he had hoped Lei Li had a Wood Attribute Special Spiritual Root, because it could assist him in the future.

A cultivator with a Special Wood Spirit Root, when truly achieving great success in their path, is extremely terrifying and very difficult to deal with.

A Mahayana Realm cultivator with a Special Wood Spirit Root — unless you obliterate them in an instant, leaving no trace of their body or blood, otherwise, as long as they can leave behind a drop of blood or a piece of flesh, they can reconstitute their body, immortal and undying.

Just thinking about it is scary.

"Condense!" Tang Rao projected a wave of Spiritual Energy, clearing out the remnants of the Dragon Blood Tree within Lei Li's body.

After it was expelled, he wrapped it with his Spiritual Energy, and smeared it onto the wound on Lei Li's arm.

In the blink of an eye, the wound closed up, not even a scar was left.

Lei Li was dumbfounded, this... was truly magical.

Tang Rao then sequentially tested the Water, Fire, and Earth Attributes.

What frustrated him was that Lei Li rejected all five major attributes: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.

"Rest for a while..." Tang Rao didn't continue but rather sat down and took a deep breath.

Guiding a Spirit Root, indeed, was not an easy task.

Lei Li looked at Tang Rao, who at this moment, was ghastly pale, his breathing rushed.

"Are you... okay?" Lei Li asked quietly.

Tang Rao gave Lei Li a look, do I look alright to you?

I'm freaking exhausted, tired as a dog.

"You do what you want, I need to rest for a while, wake me in two hours." Tang Rao said and then closed his eyes, still needing to deal with the attributes of wind, thunder, and lightning afterward.

Compared to the previously mentioned five major attributes, wind, thunder, and lightning are even more difficult to channel.

Just a slight miscalculation can result in backlash.

I must fully recover my energy.

Lei Li didn't say anything and just watched Tang Rao with a fixed gaze.

This guy, when he's quiet, actually looks pretty handsome, Lei Li thought to herself.

It's just that his personality is so crappy, not the least bit warm or friendly.

If Tang Rao knew what Lei Li was thinking, he would probably need to have a serious talk with her.

Ever since I came to Blue Star, I've really been holding back, alright!

I'm an expert on the verge of becoming an immortal, I'm the King of One Realm, back then, no one dared to say no to a single word I said, alright!

Now, mixing with you lot of weaklings, you still expect me to be warm and friendly, don't set your expectations so high.

I haven't gone mad nor has my personality twisted because I fell from grace, that's already a mercy from the heavens.

...

Now, in a villa in the central area of Tiandu, five men were kneeling in a row.

They were the bald man and his group who had previously followed Tang Rao and others.

Aside from the bald man, the other four were covered in plaster casts, looking miserable.

Sitting in front of the five men was a middle-aged man in his fifties.

The man had a beard, a handsome face, and even though he was over fifty, he still looked very attractive.

Walking down the street, he was enough to make those young girls with a thing for older men scream.

The middle-aged man held a teacup, sniffed it, took a light sip, and then set it down.

"Fourteen years, I've let Lei Li be for fourteen years. Tsk tsk tsk, the young lady is finally unable to restrain herself, huh?" the middle-aged man muttered to himself with a smile.

He, of course, knew of Lei Li's existence and the damage he had caused her.

In fact, in those fourteen years, he had countless opportunities to take Lei Li's life.

But he never did; he wanted to keep her alive.

To allow a girl to live with hatred for fourteen years was such a delightful thing.

"I don't blame you guys for being beaten by Lei Li, indeed you are not a match for her. What I don't understand is, you guys are experienced, how could you have been discovered?" the middle-aged man slightly narrowed his eyes, looking at the five kneeling men.

"Big brother, we... we were probably not discovered by Lei Li," the bald man raised his head and said, "We've been following Lei Li for so long and she never noticed, it's impossible that she suddenly found out this time."

"Oh, then what happened?" the middle-aged man asked.

"It's... it must've been Tang Rao, yes, definitely him," the bald man immediately said, "Originally Lei Li didn't dare to do anything to us because she knew we were your subordinates, big brother. But in the end, under Tang Rao's instigation, Lei Li went crazy and beat us into serious injuries."

"Tang Rao?" the middle-aged man was slightly startled, "The son of Bai Yushu?"

"Yes, yes, yes, that's him," the bald man nodded.

"I heard this kid was having a great time in Sui City lately, didn't expect him to come to Tiandu and dare to meddle in my, Guan Zhendong's affairs. Hmm, quite bold indeed."

"Alright, you guys go down first. Each of you go to Fang Jing and take ¥100,000, rest well for a while," Guan Zhendong waved his hand and said.

The five men, including the bald man, immediately expressed their gratitude, then left the villa.

"Cannon, come over," Guan Zhendong knocked on the table a few times and called out softly.

From a side hall of the villa, a man immediately appeared.

Two meters tall, bare-chested, muscles like rock, and clutching a woman's clothing in his hand.

"How many times have I told you, don't mess with women at home," Guan Zhendong said somewhat helplessly.

"Hehe, big brother... I just got carried away, I just got carried away," Cannon grinned, baring his big yellow teeth.

"Alright, you must have heard the conversation just now, you go have a meeting with that Tang Rao," Guan Zhendong looked at Cannon.

"Okay!" Cannon agreed, "Well, since it's already been done, let's finish what's left, and then I'll go."

Guan Zhendong: "..."
